i welcome you watching international on this day ten years ago the world was horrified by a terrorist attack on a school in the south of russia the school was captured by a group of chechen militants who took more than a thousand civilians most of them children and their parents.

it all started early morning when people gathered to celebrate the beginning of the academic year 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 twenty six people in all the use of force to free the hostages had initially been ruled down but on the third day events did take a very different at around one pm some of the terrorists explosives went off killing many hostages and partially destroying one of the school walls this prompted many of the hostages to try to escape but the terrorists opened fire on them killing women and children a few minutes later russian special forces deemed it necessary to move in and by six pm the fighting was over only one terrorist was taken alive all the others had been killed many having used hostages as human shields most of the hostages were

freed but the number of casualties was high with three hundred thirty four people killed more than eight hundred injured parties match race reports now from betters . while the crowds in the people may come and go from this tragic site the names will always remain of more than three hundred innocents who lost their lives during the tragic school siege in baseline those three hundred people a small fraction of more than a thousand people who were trapped inside the school gym during that three day long attack now the gym itself is she in this metal coating this area is now enshrined a memorial to the victims that a group of architects has been commissioned to sanctify the interior remains essential be unchanged from what it was ten years ago that the horrific attack happened in the case law school number one for example the floor where mourners

have been laying carnations still has the damage from the attack of the wall is still bare the pockmarks from the bullet holes where the machine guns fired their rounds into the walls several things have changed here in the gym for example it was across the altar that has been set up in the center and look at many many hundreds of flowers that have been laid here by the mourners during the horrific attack the militants said that everybody needed to undergo a fast they were denied food and water to the children many of whom stripped down to their underwear because the heat was so sweltering it was the only way to stay cool here mourners are bringing bottles of water in order to give them comfort be on the great we spoke with several people who survived the tragedy here's the story of two of them they survived against all odds a lead us about of and her two daughters live through that base law 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 a meta returned for this special commemoration the memories came flooding back. to bush right. now if you. given that it wasn't the guy he thought that she had to because of unusual move. i think i know it's a lot of key to the. terrorist took the hostages to the gym a little later her mother voluntarily entered the building to be with her daughter's complaint so that when you go excluded to vote with nasty to where you get by your logic you scoff at all muslim youth that doc was provoked to not must not see him up to come you come to tell clueless don't want them to don't we have the bizarre. when you cover news knowledge she got. it. yes do you demand she. just because i do see up in my goal of some of the moments.

they stayed in that gym with her father school principal tara can sit down all through most of the fifty two hour ordeal there is even a key cheat like she was almost to my innkeeper post on what should be to post in the style and you could tell that she did do it just because soon i'm simplifying this the point of i'm suddenly snuggle up we point is that you've lost our cans about of a mean his grandfather didn't survive or you see the oh it's all black could you did this good for you. 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 a mattress r.t. . and we will have more coverage of the memorial events today in beslan r.t. also spoke with the only terrorist who survived you can watch that report later today also but here's a quick preview all of this is this is who they don't. need to know. that it's. one of the. we're going through go in and use them and there's an issue to go to much of the concern in situations where the chimney. and intrude in. mutual. mentioned that it.

now anti-government forces in eastern ukraine are gradually driving back army after the bombardment of cities all over the net and began screeching as for months local fighters say they are now carrying out a military operation to protect civilians they say this orange area here is currently under their control the army is encircled in several locations though and the faces battle was in the town of the ice where several hundred cranium tricks became trapped following a request from president vladimir putin anti-government fighters provided a humanitarian corridor or to allow the soldiers to exit if an armed here said its troops would not surrender but fight their way out instead yet two hundred chose to lay down their arms they say they suffered serious losses because army commanders abandoned them without any reinforcements poor asli as this report.

the sound of victory after we did leave battles is back in the hands of the anti government fighters. 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 the spoils of victory made it out we put down their weapons before they did their 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 quicker than has been destroyed who want to fight us after 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 morale of the ukrainian army sending thousands to the streets of kiev to demonstrate against the generals who they say abandoned and betrayed their own men and 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 colas fear r t l advice eastern ukraine. well russia's foreign minister has addressed western concerns about russia's alleged involvement in ukraine was speaking to aspiring diplomats at the moscow state university of international relations. is listening in for us so we know what exactly did the minister have to say well russia has been accused of being a walled in ukraine by given by the west in fact some have gone as far as to say

that moscow is has all but started a full scale invasion of the neighboring countries so russia's foreign minister has used that opportunity to once again we all accuse asians. there will be. russia insists on a peaceful solution to this crisis this tragedy. the political approach but unfortunately our western partners have been blindsided. and finds their full support. now the so goes word to russian president putin has said in an interview to a russian news channel day and president said that one of the most important things right now if we start talks about the status of the regions of southeastern ukraine he also mentioned that he spoke with ukraine's president poroshenko he seems to be . understandable. and according to which and they do seem to have agreed on

some sort of a process towards a peace plan in southeastern ukraine now also russian president mentioned that it's time to end the fighting for everybody involved in the conflict in southeastern ukraine winter is indeed coming and people should lay down their arms and focus on rebuilding destroyed the infrastructure of the region and use this as an opportunity to finally start the peace talks and what russian president called a great tragedy occurring in southeastern ukraine ok thanks. thank you. well and there has been a development in the story of missing russian photo journalist under a stone in a ukrainian soldier whose picture he took in eastern ukraine has written a letter to the reporter's mother this is one of the photos of the fighting kiev took it to be of a dead soldier and accuse stand in promoting terrorism by publishing it as it turned out and this and as this next picture taken minutes later shows he was in

fact alive in his letter the soldier writes this then and wasn't doing anything wrong by documented in the conflict the real news agency photographer disappeared almost a month ago in eastern ukraine become trees officials insist they have no information on his whereabouts standing has also been working for various international media outlets including reuters and a paid. for years the u.s. has been spending hundreds of billions of dollars on its nuclear arsenal but with the spate of scandals surrounding the units responsible for the fattens of warheads and an aging infrastructure questions are being asked over the security of the world's deadliest weapons. expects. 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 deadliest weapons the air force removed the entire chain of command at the base where it happened while investigating those missileers personal cell phones is part of the drug investigation o.s.i. agents found test material on their 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 that ease as reports about a 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 nukes 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 men and women 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 that. the hearing. or is it that you can't connect when you make. i mean you can't hear the other person on the other end line sometimes you can dial out which makes it 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 bombs and delivery 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 safe in washington. thanks being with us today still to come in the program and islamist militant group in libya seizes control of the u.s. embassy compound in tripoli plus. domestic gold and gold this is what chance your high powered vacuum cleaner is it backed by brussels directives we've got the stories.

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 who 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 does not become a victim of the whole process of brussels is nonie state trying to run the whole of europe according to a ridiculous few old 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 power brussels news new bowings in terms of where it wants to interfere in people's lives part or will they go when it comes to the process of capitals hairdryers normal and mean it things that are seen as being perfectly reasonable facets of western society oh they know no bones they will keep going until the point in time when the public says no as usual thoughts have plenty

the world famous web site wiki leaks has given people a safe platform to expose the secrets of government big business but it's not only whistle blows who need to stay anonymous activists against poaching who are often threatened with violence have created their own site wild leeks to shed light on the illegal trade of wild animals r.t. talk 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
