russia ten years since the school see three hundred people were killed most of them children bringing the. ukrainian army of the south. as part of their operation to the local civilian population. decaying infrastructure. that america. is heading for the.

hell are you watching all the international law coming to you live from moscow where as in the russian capital it's good to have you with us. on this day ten years ago the world was horrified by one of the most inhumane terrorist attacks on a school in the south of russia now these are live pictures from a memorial ceremony which is currently underway that to mark the anniversary the school was captured by a group of chechen militants who took more than a thousand civilians most of them children and their parents hostage now it all started early morning when people gathered to celebrate the beginning of the academic year the terrorists stormed the building killing eighteen people in the process they placed explosives all around the school threatening to kill everyone

if there was an attempt to free the hostages on the second day the authorities managed to convince the attackers to release mothers with babies that's twenty six people in all the use of force to free the hostages had initially been ruled out but on the third day events took a different turn and around one pm some of the terrorist explosives went off killing many hostages and partially destroying one of the school walls and this prompted many of the hostages to try and escape the terrorists opened fire on them killing women and children a few minutes later russian special forces deemed it necessary to move in by six pm the fighting had finished only one terrorist was taken alive while the others had been killed many have been used hostages human shields most of the hostages were freed and the number of casualties was high with three hundred thirty four people killed and more than eight hundred injured well it is now in. full and joins us now mark what is planned for today then in beslan.

paul the crowd in the central square in beslan has decreased significantly since the last hour and that's because the throng that was behind me has moved largely inside the school gymnasium past what had been this long school number one. and that was attacked ten years ago starting today at the beginning of a three day siege and the crowd moved down this pathway into the school gym the focal point of all the terror that was where the students teachers staff and parents had been corralled inside by the terrorists in order to keep them all in place and under control now the gym is coated in this memorial sheath but in the side the area remains essentially how it was ten years ago still damaged floor still the bullet holes in the walls and still tears even today as the mourners walk inside and as they walk in they're headed to things they're given

a candle and they're given a carnation the candle is an order to light in the memory of the victims and the carnation also to lay down in their memory and when we go inside and soon we'll be going inside and shooting some video to bring to you soon here on our to international you can see how the flowers are all covering the floor around the central altar and how the candles are all lit around the inside perimeter of the gym it's a very touching scene but it's also a scene of a great emotion wailing tears people covering their eyes crying in commemoration of the lost son or daughter sister husband or wife it's a scene of very raw emotion here there are many emotions that are people feeling today in some cases it is sadness in some cases it's relief at getting out of the hostage situation that happened ten years ago we spoke with several people who survived the tragedy is the story of two of them. they survived against all

odds a lead us about of and her two daughters lived through the base long school siege they were among more than a thousand children staff and parents held hostage by heavily armed chechen extremists when a leader and her daughter ameena returned for this special commemoration the memories came flooding back and if you go back to the shrines. i animal knew you. know if you were going to get at the by the charitable cause of mutual noble mining to even think i know it's a lot of heat it's a. terrorist took the hostages to the gym a little later her mother voluntarily entered the building to be with her daughters complain that when you go excluded to vote you have states away your logic is because our muslim youth adopt not must not see him up to come he becomes little

cool of them don't we have the bizarre. when you cover news knowledge she got to. eat. yes do you go to them and she. just because i do see up in my goal of some of the moment. they stayed in that gym with her father school principal tarr can sit down of through most of the fifty two hour ordeal to read even the key cheat lie cheat so much to my young people time standpoint should be to post and you could tell that she did not miss just these three of them simpler what is the point of. suddenly snuggle up we point is that you've lost our cans about of i mean his grandfather didn't survive i see the oh it's all black we did the of the brochure. years later the blood is gone but the pain remains while the baseline school gym has been cleaned up and turned into a memorial for the victims the school hallways remain virtually untouched since that terrible attack ten years ago the walls still bear the scars of the bullet

holes that run from the floor up to the ceiling. a leader even prayed for their own deaths to end their suffering but she and her daughters made it through and haven't lost their faith in the future i mean it says the nightmare inspired her to help others and she's studying to become a doctor and treasure archie. we'll have more coverage of the ceremonial events today in bed as well as he spoke with the only terrorist who survived on day here's a taste of a special report which you can see in full light is a day. that is. running across. the nation in louisville and. position it to supply us who can really. need. a deal in these children exposed even you told me more. than most of their share of the need is just because they're

humanitarian corridor or to allow the soldiers to exit if an armed you have said its troops will not surrender or fight their way out instead he had over one hundred soldiers chose to lay down their arms they say they suffered serious losses because army commanders abandoned them without real force means horsley reports. the sound of victory after a week of deadly battles in a vise is back in the hands of the antigovernment fighters ill advice is now completely under our control there will be no mercy i will never forgive them for destroying our cities. the smell of death still hangs over the battlefield but. one is brewed in the other one of sorts of pieces of them on the field nobody is asking for them the spoils of victory made it out we put down their weapons before they did the resistance wrong the result is that they've suffered to come on to

give it is in high spirits at headquarters he congratulates his men. about four thousand eight hundred soldiers attacked us this month not more than two hundred of them survived all of their combats quicken has been destroyed who want to fight us off this. the thirty four year old commander hasn't had a day off since fighting began five months ago we won that fight we stood up for our city even when we had lost twenty percent of the city in four days we took it back. and in the process squashed the move all of the ukrainian army sending thousands to the streets of kiev to demonstrate against the generals who they say abandoned and betrayed their own main at the end of a hard day of fighting this is where the soldiers come to hang up their guns to renew their energy and to warn the mothers of ukrainian soldiers what their sons are up against. r t l advice eastern ukraine.

there's been a development in the story of missing russian photojournalist andre stone in a ukrainian soldier who who picture he took in eastern ukraine has written a letter to the reporters mother this image from dickie have to accuse den of assisting terrorism by taking a photo of a dead soldier but in fact the fighter is alive as shown by this picture taken just minutes later in his letter the soldier writes that he's sorry for what's happened and the stand in wasn't doing anything wrong the photographer disappeared almost a month ago in eastern ukraine country's officials insist they have no information on his whereabouts and it has been working for various international media outlets including reuters and a.p. . for years the u.s. has been spending hundreds of billions of dollars on its nuclear arsenal but with nearly five thousand warheads the country struggling to maintain the hazardous stockpile explains. in

a field where there is no room for error a series of scandals is haunting the management don't lend based nuclear missiles earlier this year ninety one officers were implicated in a test cheating scandal it's twenty percent of all officers story charges some of them there says that at least weapons the air force removed the entire chain of command at the base where it happened while investigating those missile his personal cell phone says part of the drug investigation o.s.i. agents found test material on them investigations of drug possession by missile officers also made headlines and there was more this week the air force says the entire wing failed a safety and security inspection u.s. led based missile facilities failed safety and security inspections several times in recent years although the air force does not reveal specifics of the failures and insists that the weapons are safe but not everyone is it iis as reports about security breach continue to come in it was one year ago that two nuclear officers

were actually breaking security rules because they left an underground command center blast door open that's where you get in actually set off the noose one of the officers actually fell asleep when c.b.s. crew traveled to one of three lead based missile sites in the u.s. they found aging infrastructure and revealed that the man a woman who oversee some of the world's deadliest weapons have trouble hearing what is being said on their phones. what is great about them is it. the hearing or is it that you can connect when you make a call i mean you can hear in the other person only other and line sometimes you can dial out which. it's a very difficult if you're trying to do your job the obama administration's plans for the u.s. nuclear weapons complex including modernization of the livery systems will cost the country about three hundred fifty five billion dollars over the next decade but

there's something about this story that's important which is that every time the u.s. is about to begin a new cycle introducing a new generation of nuclear weapons there's always complaints about misconduct faulty weaponry the fact that the united states is legging behind isn't keeping up with world standards and that usually is used as a pretext to accelerate another stage of what was used what used to be called the arms race of course some of the complaints will help the government raise money to modernize its nuclear complex but the scandals also show what a challenge it is just to keep the weapons. in washington or. coming out the u.s. raises the american. west and using to fight alongside the extremists in iraq and syria. plus domestic. because you're. about to be out by

a new director all the details coming up. we think of the way we think. in the ocean breeze. little secret a secret the u.s. government would like you to know. through our labor. day everybody. different leaders and syrian ally. members of congress the folks who kept on syria

in recent months has said he's a reformer the clear message to president assad which is diddy's time for him to go play the instability at least to suit is going to be submissive to come up. dramas the truth be ignored. stories others who refused to notice. food since changing the world lights now. so pictures of today's leaves no longer from around the globe. look to. the. but i think.

they would like to know that you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several we've been hijacked like handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once built my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identify the problem. rational debate and real discussion critical issues facing are. you ready to join the movement then walk a. prominent

bahraini human rights activist. has been arrested shortly after arriving in the country's airports she was flying in from denmark to check on her father also a campaigner who recently went on hunger strike in protest at his own detention will the thoughts of a key figure in the bahraini opposition movement now build a job himself spend two years in jail he says the courts are at the beck and call of the government. you would expect to see the judge you're going to. want to she fears that he's got a member of ruling family so you are in a country that does not respect human rights there judiciary system does not meet with international standards a lot of criticism by international human rights groups and different i like like united states and but they do it they don't care so far they were going and. taking

a lot of you know what are different going to court and using the court using the good issue system as a tool to attack human rights activists to attack or to prefer to attack journalists to attack people activists in the social media so we are in the most repressive regime now we are now we are willing to hold the life of our ability for who is in his hunger strike we are worried about this woman taking into consideration many women will many men will go to. washington has raised the alarm of americans fighting alongside islamic state militants that's according to the latest reports around three hundred u.s. citizens have already joined the jihad us along with the two thousand or so europeans who have also swell the ranks of the extremists among them are up to seven hundred french nationals and more than five hundred british citizens. from the foreign policy think tank believes this is the fallout of western policies in the middle east. there's definitely lot of war has been hyped up in the media that

the people who would be coming back from the front lines are also would have a need for us purpose to do here at home our foreign policy it's not really shortsighted but it's always has history to taking up his feet his movements not only islamic but also the life in america in other places which happen to serve you know political interests in common interest i'm sure unfortunately in many other peace like most before there's definitely blowback and this is what's really happening with in syria and iraq right now it's a perfect example of this. over the fence more stories for you an online including why day to day jobs could be more dangerous than warfare a report from the u.n. international labor organization finds that more labor is dying factories and soldiers on the wild battlefields the full story at all t. dot com. also that revoked conic eruption in papua new guinea forces people to flee their homes and planes to change their routes would put all that entails on the

best pictures online. please write the scene. first street. and i would think that you're. on a recorder's twitter. and instagram. could be in the. wrong. consumers in the e.u. have been on a buying spree after brussels pulled the plug on high powered vacuum cleaners a new initiative aimed at tackling climate change and rising energy costs is outlawed some appliances by the rules make all vacuums with motors bigger than six hundred watts illegal even though they could arguably save energy by cleaning faster and it doesn't end there brussels also plans to ban some head dryers heaters and even kettles critics say the move is a symptom of

a nanny state in one way they're paying a tone meant to the crees the underneath flawed concept of global warming and another they're obviously worried about the fact that actually europe doesn't have enough energy to sustain itself and it's currently having a large argument with russia but really deep down what this goes down to is the belief amongst the liberal elite in brussels that they know better what the people should be doing and therefore the freedom to clean your home has not become a victim of the whole process of brussels is now any state trying to run the whole of europe according to a ridiculous fault dictum of economic decay this is typical of the object insanity that gets going within the european commission and also within particularly the political halls of party brussels news new borrowings in terms of where it wants to interfere in people's lives quite far will they go when it comes to the process of capitals hairdryers normal ameena teams that are seen as being perfectly reasonable

facets of western society oh they knew no bounds they will keep going until the point in time when the public says no now the world famous web site wiki leaks has given people a safe platform to expose the secrets of government and big business but it's not the whistleblowers who need to stay anonymous activists against poaching who often threatened with violence have created their own site wildly to shed light on the illegal trade of wild animals r.t. spoke to those behind the international project. wildlife crimes are serious crimes and in many countries there are organized crime networks that are orchestrating these crimes and there's key individuals involved who are very powerful and very influential have a lot of money and they're being protected by. corrupt government officials by politicians or even by corrupt law enforcement officials so for anyone who has information about these types of crimes it's incredibly dangerous to just speak out

about it and that's why we've created wild leaks it's anonymous and it's safe so it's very safe and easy but it's amazing is that it's anonymous so you remain completely anonymous throughout the process to other news making headlines around the world now in israel has laid claim to a huge tract of land in the west bank hidden away from father settlement construction the move comes despite international calls to hold further expansion into palestinian territory one of the key disputes holding back the peace process the latest takeover spawning one thousand acres is the largest in thirty years. in france an apartment building explosion has left at least six people dead in a power suburb one of the victims was an eight year old girl twelve of the survivors remain severely injured rescue teams are still sifting through the rubble in search of five missing residents officials say the blast was probably caused by a gas leak but. swedish media is reporting a possible case of ebola being treated at a stockholm hospital

a man who recently travelled to a high risk area is in isolation last week the first case of the deadly virus has been found in senegal almost fifteen hundred deaths have been recorded in the epidemic which has spread across west africa yeah. and in libya islamist militants have taken over part of the u.s. embassy which was evacuated a month ago stoffel pulled out two to three singapore this nation the country with rampaging warlords and their militias seizing control the country plunged into chaos after former leader moammar gadhafi was out. when the free flow of alms allowed various militant groups to seize power we asked the editor of the pan-african news while what he thinks the situation could be heading. the security situation in libya is becoming even more precarious the united states anticipating that this what happened pulled out its personnel and drove them to tunisia well i think the united states is trying to figure out which road to take they have a lot at stake their attempts to remake libya in their own image they may

decide to get allies some type of military force to get in and set up a beachhead in libya but this of course will only spark more animosity and more fighting a possible grow war about those who are opposed to the u.s. backed militias inside the country now coming up on r.t. international so if you should not say i'm sorry i think i but if you're watching in the u.k. people about looks at how the rise of islamic state militants is driving iraq and syria to the brink of collapse stay with us. well. science technology innovation all the least developments from

around russia we've done the future coverage. we think about why we think that there are no good. beaches. coconut palms gently swaying in the ocean breeze. in fact white has a deep dark little secret a secret the u.s. government would like you to know about. through all. the while i did. a search for you ok given all we. know is a. little over. a.
