to life from moscow you with international. now 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 hostage.

well 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 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 very different turn 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 buy 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 and more than eight hundred injured parties mattress reports now from beslan . 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 in shrine a memorial to the victims that a group of architects has been commissioned to sanctify the interior remains essential unchanged from when it was ten years ago that the horrific attack

happened and based on school number one for example the floor where mourners have been laying carnations still has the damage from the attack to the walls 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 to cross this 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 laws lead us about of and her two daughters live through the baseline 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 meeting returned for this special commemoration the memories came flooding back. to this right. yeah. you know if you were given that as a. charitable cause of new show bill noble mining. guys 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 daughters can plan for that when you know excluded to vote with napster to weigh up what your logic is causing all muslim youth to adopt to the utmost not to see him up to the income. of telmarc them don't we have the bizarre. when you cover news knowledge she got. it. yes do you demand she.

just quit the day mochas i do see up in my goal of some of the mom once. 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 lie cheat so much the margin keep them standpoint she beats it but i'm still no style and you could tell that she did do it just because soon i'm simplifying is the point if i'm suddenly snuggle up we point is that you've lost our cans about of a me just grandfather didn't survive you see the oh it's all black you did the it was good rochelle you did 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. . we will have more coverage of the memorial has vents taking place in beslan r.t. also spoke with the only terrorist who survived you can watch that report later today but here's a quick preview well this is this is who they don't want you. need to know. that it's you know. is that we have this. need to. live and say isn't it wouldn't think it wouldn't be some and there's an issue to go to much of the concern in situations where the chimney moved in a tree in. most neutral. richard that it being all.

my anti government forces in eastern ukraine and gradually driving back. 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 you can as you can see here the key area is this town of vice at the moment that's a crucial point because it's where several hundred troops have become trapped or following a request from president vladimir putin antigovernment fighters provided a humanitarian corridor to allow the soldiers to exit if unarmed kiev says its troops would not surrender but fight their way out instead of three officials now say eighty soldiers have managed to leave the encircled area while anti-government forces say over one hundred now lay down have now laid down their weapons poorest clear reports. the sound of

victory after we did leave battles is back in the hands of the anti-government fighters ill advised ski's 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. two bodies one is burnt 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 but before they did the resistance stronger the result is that they 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 quitman 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 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 from 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. meanwhile russia's foreign minister has addressed western concern about russia's alleged involvement in ukraine to a level for speaking to aspiring diplomats at the moscow state university of international relations and he again stressed russia's position on the ukrainian crisis r.t. during the glue she has got the details. well russia has been accused of being involved in ukraine by given by the west in fact some have gone as far as to say

that rosco is has all but started a full scale invasion of a neighboring country so russia's foreign minister has used this opportunity to once again we all accuse asians. there will be no military intervention russia insists on a peaceful solution to this crisis this tragedy. at a political approach but unfortunately our western partners have been blindsided. says and does find their feet. now the circle is word to russian president vladimir putin has said in an interview to a russian news channel thanks and that's 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 reasoned with one who stands when he's being talked to 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. and has been a development in the story of the missing russian photo journalist andre stan 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 fighter kiev took it to be a dead soldier and accused then in a promoting terrorism by publishing it as it turned out he was in fact alive as this next picture taken minutes later. in his letter the soldier writes this down in wasn't doing anything wrong by document in the conflict the rayon obviously news agency photographer disappeared almost

a month ago in eastern ukraine the country's officials insist they have no information on his whereabouts stannin has also been working for various international media outlets including reuters and a page. now that for years the u.s. has been spending hundreds of billions of dollars on its nuclear arsenal but with a spate of scandal surrounding units responsible for the families of warheads and an aging infrastructure questions are being asked over the security of the world's deadliest weapons piano expects. in a field where there is no room for error a series of scandals this 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 somebody there says deadliest weapons the air force removed the entire chain of command at

the base where it happened while investigating those missile as personal cell phones as part of a drug investigation o.s.i. agents found test material on them investigations of drug possession by missile officers also made head lice 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 and you know 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. their awful. what is great about them is it. the hearing or is it that you can't connect when you make a call. i mean you can hear in the other person only other into the line sometimes you can't 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 would 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 us 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. now there's plenty more to come in the program including an islamist militant group in libya seizes control of the u.s. embassy compound in tripoli we've got this story plus domestic gold and gold this is what. is a bank. to stay with. the . property. that is the state sponsor of russia today programs elsewhere like sabean i'll write

something like this. is just ridiculous on the answer to my question. john is not the word there seems to be and sometimes their lives all over the world to bring people stories that come down the champs don't want you to see we told. dramas the truth be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. faces changing the world lights now. so picture of today's mug on demand from around the globe. locally. we

think of why we think that there are no good. beaches. coconut palms gently swaying in the ocean breeze. and frank. why he has a deep dark little secret a secret the u.s. government would like you know about. through our labor it's. the ball i did dearly associated to get all wilderness. is a lucky player. join me. in that impartial and financial commentary concerned.

only on from past and. welcome back now libya is the most medicines have taken a video u.s. embassy in tripoli and its residential compound which was evacuated a month ago staff were pulled out due to increasing your business in the country with paging warlords and their militias seizing control the country plunged into chaos after former leader muammar gaddafi was ousted when a free flow of arms allowed various militant groups to seize power we asked the editor of the pan-african news why why he thinks the situation could be heading. to security situation in libya is becoming even more precarious the united states anticipating that this would happen in the pool that is personnel and drove them to

tunisia what 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 allows some type of military force to get in and set up a beach 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 is ms fighters have also taken control of huge areas in iraq and syria crosstalk panel discuss whether this could make america once again intervene in the middle east. well clearly that has been a failed strategy when it comes to syria and iraq how much is obama under pressure to do something as they always say something must be done you will get poll numbers from you know polls taken throughout the country overwhelmingly not in favor of intervention in syria don't want to send troops back to iraq maybe air strikes

because they think airstrikes are relatively antiseptic least to the people in the airplanes on the ground the choices are all bad you go when you take out the islamic state in syria you're helping us. in the e.u. a new initiative aimed at tackling climate change and rising energy costs is outlawed certain household appliances the new rules introduced by brussels have pulled the plug on high powered vacuum cleaners starting from monday all vacuums with motors bigger than one thousand six hundred watts will become illegal even though they could arguably save energy by cleaning and it doesn't end there either in the in the future brussels also plans to bar it's a bar some headdress homo's and even kettles where social networks reacted almost immediately uses wrote about panic buying dozens of vacuum cleaners some also confronted the e.u. with tweets about buying powerful appliances

a many actually question the use right to tell them what to buy critics agree the move is a symptom of a nanny state. in one way they're paying atonement to the cream stand and deed 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 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 now any state trying to run the whole of europe according to a ridiculous flawed victim 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 part brussels knows 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 immediate things that are seen as being perfectly reasonable facets of western society oh they know no bounds they will keep going until the point in time when the public says no it's got plenty of interesting stuff online for you too as well including why day to day jobs can be more dangerous than warfare a report from the un international labor organization finds that more labor is die in factories than soldiers on the world battlefield the full story is that r.t. dot com also there and the run up in new guinea forces people to flee their homes and planes to change their reach we've got all the details and some great pictures for you online. 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 only whistle blows who need to stay anonymous activists against poaching who are

often threatened with violence have created their own site one plea to shed light on the illegal trade of wild animals r.t. talk to those big. i need to national 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 you remain completely anonymous throughout the process let's have a quick look at some other world news now in islamabad anti-government protesters stormed the state run t.v. station forcing it off air they clashed with soldiers and paramilitary troops who
