but then i got really scared when i saw people smashing windows. and running away as fast as they come. back to way trying to spot a long unfolding man the my baby in my hand suddenly i fall flat on my back i see a thousand people rushing towards me i thought flashed through my mind i'm going to be killed in the stampede trip.

is a really nice lower crowded into the gym as if we were cattle man for the slaughter house was set to wherever we could some on the floor others on the bench as senior pros were told just as a fun trip wires from the sailing. day realize what was going on. the decline arms were in that ring. there was one in the middle and smaller ones on each side. the hostages were instructed to stay on the ground more than a thousand people sat on the floor of the gym with bombs suspended over their heads the terrorists demanded complete silence the hostages were not to shout cry or talk . to him the kids started crying we were told how to find this is where we're worth then made believe or were hoping they came to see who was helping and who wasn't

there some machine guns were always at the ready but that had no effect the kids were crying as loudly as before. awareness that all the men were taken out of the room i twenty and they never came back. the men were taken to a room on the second floor. and there they were shot and thrown from the window. but they are not if they need to come on girls out of the gym and rape them i mean these were very young girls what would possess someone to do something that while. one of the boys came up to a terrorist and give him five roubles have to live i give you money and you let my mother go with he said when the terrorist responded of them we've got loads of money go back to your place. the terrorists spoke to each other in the chechen

language on the first day they made no demands. of the my daughter in law said to my son to morrow do you take that jacket off it's too stuffy here to go soon as we get out of here i'll buy you several jackets tomorrow said no it's a present from my mom. the terrorists announced their demands only towards evening of the second day. they said in a note that russian troops must leave the church and the public which was then and still is part of the russian federation. there as. i hope somebody would turn the clock but. somebody would kill the terrorists and set us free. but time was at a standstill for the fathers and mothers of the children they never left the scene hoping they'd soon see their kids again. for two days and nights their children had been bullied and humiliated they've been deprived of food and deprived of water.

on the first day we felt we'd be able to leave the place soon but then we'd go to a shop to buy some soft drinks and as soon as we got home we would relax in the. very first standard to school building after the terrorist attack i had a bottle of water with me i always keep a bottle of water on my bedside table and i keep the light turned on because i cannot sleep in the dark. children flowers they brought for their teachers to mark the start of a new school year they drank urine to quench their thirst though that made them even thirsty or. the only available source of water was trickling out of

a tap in the toilets some of the children were occasionally allowed to go there. sponge themselves don was tory's soaked in water thirst was too much of a torture for some of the children this sucked water of toys and clothes. people still bring bottles filled with water to the gym they do it every day they always leave the bottles open to make it easier for the young angels to drink. the mass of people they gathered outside broke down on the search day. expected our kids to be released there's no doubt in our minds that they would be home to the school that they could be home with never entered our heads.

i was pretty scared when i heard the sound of an explosion overhead but at the moment i could breathe more freely at the blast. had ripped open the roof lowing some air into the gym besides many of the people had stopped breathing. indiscriminate gunfire panic stricken adults. told us. she is a. strange children wearing nothing but underwear rushing out of the gym. some of them were shocked that. they go down two or three bottles of water but couldn't one searched. was that when i opened my eyes off to the blast i saw the girl sitting next to me but my son wasn't anywhere near me i started looking for him all over the place good god i thought could he be dead.

comment about the first thing i saw after the blast one was a lightbulb hanging on the ceiling everything a runway had turned black i just went to look for my mother. but i approached a boy lying on the floor blood was losing out of his had ordered so he looked very much like my son and i couldn't bring myself to come closer and said to a woman who was near me. that is it my comic so much fortunately for natalia the dead boy's name was not to my line now tell his son had survived the blast and so had her two daughters my mom stylist to go on christina. natalia is unable to walk her left arm is almost motionless she was injured before

the main blast by a fragment from a grenade that exploded in the hands of one of the terrorists that fragment remains stuck in her head for two days as she sat in the gym trying to comfort her three children doctors say natalia still has a chance of recovering from her injuries but it requires a long rehabilitation process and much money she's only thirty five years old which though my dream is to be in my special forces it was such officers that saved us. i want to get revenge. the tweens us london lotteries escaped death due to their mother's heroism she threw them out of the window right after the gym blast she also saved several other children and thankfully managed to survive the ordeal herself and to you this is me and my dad.

question is that so much about the taxpayers' money and it is a shame me a lot of people at area forward to a lot of us thought on the eve of the meeting of the asia pacific economic cooperation regional group to what degree is the global economy now. saying. well going into the future science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the huge you're covered. the children of beslan may have had some sense of foreboding before the terrorist attack after the tragedy parents found odd looking drawings startling verses and

morose entries and diaries among the items of their dead children. these pictures were made by allah but tug of his son to morrow he hoped to become an artist though most of his paintings showed landscapes for some inexplicable reason he made an about turn in the summer of two thousand and four. i would bet though. this picture shortly before the tragedy it shows an explosion as you can see one of the schoolchildren was going towards the building they didn't but while the other one was thrown up into the air he would. it was our to blois drew this picture. it shows a school a gym helicopters a fire a crowd of people on the island says and firefighters who wait was at that school.

i was down and when i first saw it. this is zero destroyed why didn't the eleven year old boy draw a picture of a school in this context we will never know because our died in the terrorist attack. the most horrific part of it all came when the fire had been extinguished and the terrorists have been killed. parents millions searching for their children . i went through a terrible experience each time i saw an ambulance pulling up in front of the school. i never even looked at the first down the one says they were heading to the more.

as soon as that answer one of the wards are in the butt demetre shouts to me i've seen the guy i say to him where is she to me or i come to find her to which she says i saw her in the gin. they were keys to our apartment in his pockets when they compared them with my own case it became clear that the boy was to more. i still keep the case under the pillow and i go to bed. go to. god one in three hostages died in that fire i spent three days who come from i

don't owe him on those dead bodies before i found hers. many others spend several months there. was the word so when i went out of the house i saw the coffin and i was so glad that i had found her. i put my arms around the coffin as if embracing it as if trying to help other is a bring it here. i'm not sure i can accurately describe my emotions but i think i was glad and by the fact that they had found her. time has not healed any wounds for these people the simple fact is over the years these ascensions have learned to live with their pain children are no longer afraid

of going to school and adults have reconciled themselves with the thought that letting them go to school is not dangerous. should mean now avoids jim is. today he prefers playing music to playing sports. he lost his best friend in the terrorist attack of two thousand and four and since then he's met nobody they can replace him. well mostly and now i take things easier. i would say. six percent of what happened six years ago has evaporated from my mind and we would. all much is left

a mere ninety four years. this year and yet his second daughter made in the will start school. and the time of the terrorist attack she was just a year old at one point the terrorists allowed mothers and their babies to leave the gym. and you to came out with million in her arms. her elder daughter along had to stay behind not long after she was killed. you know how many memories my little hair it's over there has the right. in it because russia is. each sunday and yet ten million visit the

ruins of the school to them the place is like a church they come here to pray. we thought all people would be like saints after what happened. and they would all understand that everything was perishable. they would realize there was only one thing worth living for and taking care of. but that never happened. million and knows exactly what she's supposed to do in the gym she picks up empty bottles lights candles and puts flowers in order seem to it that her mother doesn't cry. brothers hair is white now precious promise to does it when i go to school for the first time it will be my first there will be three reasons to celebrate mother with

their hair and my birthday and now we'll start school. rita lost her only daughter in the attack the past years have not helped ease her pain you know prefers to put her thoughts on paper rather than speaking aloud. of mountains and nothing but if i think i knew what i'm designed for it's flower was the first and most treasured flower that helped me understand my fate has perished. and doesn't keep a diary she often spends time re reading those of her younger daughter emma emma had hoped to work in the fashion business she's left behind many miracle verses and funny stories will never know whether the world lost

a great writer or dancer. they could. have. been so good when we get together at the cemetery pushchair our collections have our kids. sometimes you women laugh so at the best there is by must think it odd that people laugh over the graves of their children and indeed sometimes with phil rather uncomfortable. but we can't help recalling some final episodes from their lives. today many see the town of angel cemetery as a holy place these graves are kept ideally. the marble always looks spic and span the photos never fade. there's not

a single dry flower and the ribbons on the graves mean that particular boy or girl would have finished school this year. that she was my god there is a sense we live in an entirely different world. there's the clap in the end that was like having your head in the clouds and now the situation is quite different and life is different. so slow in that he said now have a brother and a sister their mother and father have decided they must have many children the more the merrier so slung has decided that he'll be a policeman when he grows up and lisa is still in two minds about what she hopes to do when she's older. and the terrorist attack on beslan school number one claimed three hundred thirty five lives including one hundred eighty six children. all of their photos are shown here. they could have

artists musicians economists or doctors or just simply mothers and fathers of a new generation. in a recent survey people in beslan were asked whether they wanted to have the ruins of the school left as they were or twenty gallon altogether. was assumed they found looking at the land market in human forty every day a traumatic experience. and yet it was decided not to tear down the school instead it will stand as a reminder of the atrocity and not just for the citizens and business on. it will be forever a reminder to the whole world that should never forget what happened on that day. i scripted our saying to wish evil people as for good people i wish there were there are ways be it that way.

and there was this world to be is beautiful as a lot of theirs and different more beautiful and.

the world's two largest armies those of india and china unveiled plans to work more closely leaving western countries on the edge over their growing influence in the pacific. moscow threatens london with diplomatic repercussions if it confirms its move to ban dozens of pressure officials from entering the u.k. over their electric role in the mug made ski case where a top lawyer died in custody. a long arm of the copyright industry reaches all the way to cambodia with one of the fugitive founders of the pirate bay file sharing site now facing extradition to sweden. and the u.s. suspends training of some afghan security personnel after a surge in insider attacks on coalition forces that's as nato admits it's failed to

conduct a thorough background checks all mobile recruits. hello and welcome to our team karen taraji broadcasting to you live from our studio in moscow where it is six o'clock well the one time regional rivals india and china now want to bring their armies closer together beijing's top military chief is on a visit to new delhi aiming to boost the influence of the two asian giants but news of this alliance is already causing concern across the pacific as artie's priya sridhar explains. this is a historic trip for india as the chinese defense minister hasn't visited this country in nearly a decade and the top priority for the list of things to discuss on this trip are

strengthening the india china border and promoting a stronger cooperation between the two countries armed forces many people believe that india and china because they have two of the fastest growing economies in the world should be rivals but a lot of analysts i've spoken with have actually said that a partnership between the neighbors actually makes more sense with forty per cent of the world's population and at a time when these two countries' economies are growing while many of the traditional western powers their economies are decreasing many people say that a partnership between india and china could actually be detrimental to a country like the united states the united states actually exports eight point four billion dollars of arms to india every year and india is actually the number one importer in the entire world many people say the united states is interested in india to counterbalance china's growing influence in this region and to have

a strategic ally here when the united states plans to withdraw its troops from afghanistan twenty fourteen so while other countries might have an interest in what kind of relationship india and china has all signs are pointing to stronger military and economic ties between the two countries. for more on the potential consequences of the china india alliance let's join d. pollack a trip party say historian and researcher of south asia and u.s. politics. thank you for joining us mr tree party now is a chance you were in partnership really possible between these two nations given how populous fast growing and close to each other they are whether india and china have for every border war in one nine hundred sixty two and relations have improved only gradually but i think this visit by the chinese defense minister general is

extremely important because of the time at which it is taking place. as has been mentioned the united states wants to withdraw most of its troops from afghanistan the united states wants to pass only if you like responsibility but of the only started to do india and recruit india india and the united states has been very close because of india's the recent years on the united states but pressures from the united states i mean going on in india the indian government now realizes that. policymakers do know india needs to ground zero united states pressure and therefore an improvement with china will be very welcome they've started to touch upon this but tell me could anyone else besides the two parties directly involved benefit from this closer working relationship and whose interests could

actually suffer as a result. well the country will interest. a. knock out a definitely be the united states if it wants to be too ambitious. in a sort of stew and set a goal china that's what president obama's policy right now seems to me because he has said some time ago that. the united states wants to focus its policy on china which means going ten men to china so any improvement in relations between china and india would not be welcome in washington however for the lead in that sense it's good news because china and india are the biggest two most populous countries in the way they are the regional superpowers. china in the pacific and saw their share and india in south asia so any reduction in

improvements or improvement in their relationship would be ready to welcome for the whole us all they share in the pacific and i must say better the time when the western economies are suffering. and therefore the government or china and india as the industry party and start interacting but i do want to get this last question as we are short on time now some experts say that there is a shift of power in the world from the west to the east is this new partnership another sign of that shift to be added to the economic partnership of the brics countries well i was going to say that the economies all of china and india will increasingly depend on each other. and therefore good that the rest. which is a need in minding economic block. i think it is good news that china and india.
