let's go. slow so slime says we wait for this is that right. so sloman libby so are ten years old they're twins. at the time of the best one school siege they were only four. but they still remember every minute of the

distant events of september two thousand and six. there was a shallow grave on the day or two so when there is true lies and conmen one of the cheeriest was here and we lived there for just fired exemplifies. on the first of september two thousand and four so slow in the military so we're too young to start school. but in a small town like beslan at the beginning of a new school year is a great occasion slum in the research for a moment children to sound the festivities. we were told that all of the girls should wear school uniforms on september first that's a brown dress and a white apron.

if they decided that on that occasion they wouldn't invite their mothers to take part in the history of it as she asked me if i to go to school to hockey recovered them a santa who wouldn't want you around where adults already. know what i would but it touched my lips with my fingers bites and as if sendin a kiss to my daughter. i thought when she returned home i would cover it with the cases which with. the death was the last one the sweetest case of all. over with friends to share stories from the summer holidays but that festive atmosphere was cut short. it's. the first i thought it was the sound of bursting balloons or something. 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 along and holding million the my baby in my hands suddenly i fall flat on my back i see a thousand people rushing towards me i thought flashes through my mind i'm going to be killed in the stampede trip.

it's 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 us country pliers from the sailing only then did i realize what was going on. the decline arms were in that ring. there was one in the middle and smaller ones on each side. 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 . is still a kid so crying we were told the heart of our and this is where we were then made believe or a hard thing they came to see who was helping and who wasn't there seven 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 kicking out of the room i took one sweetie and they never came back well. two men were taken to a room on the second floor. and there they were shot and thrown from the window. but they are not easy 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 gave him five roubles had to live i give you money and you let my mother go with you said john 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 my daughter no said to my

son to morrow do you take that jacket off it's too stuffy here you soon as we get out of here are by 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 to russian troops must leave the chechen republic which was then and still is part of the russian federation. there. i hope somebody would turn the clock back. with somebody who 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'd been deprived of food and deprived of water.

on the first day we felt we'd be able to leave the place. then we'd go to a shop to buy some drinks and as soon as we got. in the. 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. flowers they brought for their teachers to mark the start of a new school year. drink 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 toys soaked in water thirst was too much of a torture for some of the children. 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 third day. expected our kids to be released there's no doubt in our minds that they would be harmed the thought that they could be harmed would 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 the blast had ripped open the roof lowering some air into the gym besides many of the people had stopped breathing that was. indiscriminate gunfire panic stricken adults. told us that so she is allowed. to lug stained children wearing nothing but underwear rushing out of the gym. some of them were shot in the back. they go down two or three bottles of water but could when she searched. his life 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.

paul commented about the first thing i saw after the blast was a lightbulb hanging on the ceiling everything the runway had turned black i just went along. for my mother. i approached a boy lying on the floor blood was losing out of his had he looked very much like my son and i couldn't bring myself to come closer in fact to a woman who was near me. because it's my comic. and fortunately for natalia the dead boy's name was not to my lawn and i tell his son had survived the blast and so had her two daughters might hear him one stylist go on christina. to tell you 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. my dream is to be in my special forces it was such officers that saved us. i want to get revenge on. the twins salonen 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. to you this is me and my dad. the question is that so much about the taxpayers' money and it is

a charade the bottom people at area forward to a lot of us up on the eve of the meeting of the asia pacific economic cooperation regional group to what degree is the global economy now. 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 painting showed landscapes for some inexplicable reason he made an about turn in the summer of two thousand and four. i would bet though he joined this picture shortly before the tragedy it shows an explosion and as you can see one of the school children was going to wards 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 the way it was at that school

. i was down and when i first saw it. this is a zone destroyed why do 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 dylan says they were heading to the more.

as soon as that bouncer 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 wish 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. one in three hostages died in that fire i spent three days looking for my daughter

him on those dead bodies before i found hers. many others spend several months there. was the word so that 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 no avoids june us. 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. that six percent of what happened six years ago has evaporated from my mind and we've got. 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 memories my little here it's over there that can be very. convenient because russia is here. 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 but she's promised to does it when i go to school for the first time it will be my first kiss there will be three reasons to celebrate

mother with their hair as my birthday and now will 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 what that helped me understand my fate has perished. and doesn't keep a diary she often spends time 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. that. we're going to have when we get together at the cemetery pushchair our collections of our kids. sometimes you women laugh so at the best tears by you 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. first clapping then that was like having your head in the cats but 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. to 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 kind of look um

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 torn down on together liz assumed they found looking at the landmarks in human flu 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 of 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 would be it that way.

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