intention to see this country fall apart but rather keep it intact and they have put forward a list of demands these include an end to the ukrainian army's military operation that has been on the go for the better part of hoffer year they want to see their fighters and political prisoners receive amnesty they want official status for the russian language and if you remember it was exactly the opposite of this that caused people to go to the streets in the first place they're also asking for special territorial status they want special economic status which essentially means closer cooperation with russia and they're also asking for special military status which essentially means recognition for the fight has this list of demands comes as the anti-government fighters continue with their offensive here in the east of the country one of the flashpoints has been the town of ill advised where ukrainian troops have been surrounded we took a visit to the front line from where i filed this report.

the sound of victory after a week of did the battles is back in the hands of the anti government fighters who are ill advised because 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 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 the dude the resistance stronger the result is the. command to give me 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 combat squit been 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 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 men with them but 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 paulus fear r t l advice eastern ukraine. meanwhile there has been a development regarding the missing russian photo journalist on the race then in ukraine ian soldier whose picture he took in eastern ukraine has written a letter to send in some other in defense of the reporter's work this is one of the photos of the fighter took it to be a dead soldier and accused then in promoting terrorism by publishing it as it

turned out the soldier was still in fact alive as this next picture of that last picture taken a few minutes later showed in his letter the soldier writes that stand in was doing nothing wrong by document in the conflict there in august a news agency photographer disappeared almost a month ago in eastern ukraine the country's officials insist they have no information on his whereabouts stan and has also been working for various international media outlets including reuters and a.p. . now ten years ago today the first day of school became a terrifying ordeal for the small town of beslan in southern russia the world watched horrified as chechen militants seize school number one taking a fans and people hostage mostly children and parents for survivors and families there the pain has not diminished.

nearly morning with a mood of excitement and anticipation young families arrive for the start of the new term that terrorists stormed the school killing eighteen people in the process they laid explosives around the building 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 using force to free the hostages had initially been ruled out but on the third day

events did take a very different one around one pm some of the terrorists explosives went off killing many hostages and partially destroying one of the school walls some hostages took that opportunity to try to escape only for terrorists to open fire killing women and children and a few minutes later russian special forces moved in by six pm the fighting was over only one terrorist was taken alive and the rest had been killed many having used hostages as human shields most of the hostages were freed but the number of victims was high. three hundred thirty full innocents died a more than eight hundred were injured not trace reports now from beslan as its people remember who were in the last. while the crowds and 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 unchanged from what it was ten years ago that the horrific attack happened in that place on school number one for example the floor where mourners have been laying carnations still has the damage from the attack of 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 on 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 the 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 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 ameena returned for this special commemoration the memories came flooding back. to bush right. now if you look even if it wasn't the guy. little god unusual no good morning to. the guys 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 they go excluded to vote you have states away your logic is causing all muslim youth to die. not must not come you. don't want them don't we have the bizarre. when you governors 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 mamas. they stayed in that gym with her father school principal tara can sit down through most of the fifty two hour ordeal there is even a key cheat like she was almost a mile you can keep them standpoint you. and you could tell that she did not miss just because soon i'm simplifying is the point if i am suddenly snuggle up we point is that you've lost our cans about of i mean his grandfather didn't survive or you

see the oh it's all black we did the of this good fresh look at the new. 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 have more coverage of today's moving memorial events to come also the only terrorist to survive the present atrocity is serving life behind bars r.t. spoke to him later hey what he had to say about the slaughter of say many innocents

all of this is called they don't want you will. need to know. that it's in the strategic this is the new vision should it. need to be in the streets and some. figure wouldn't be some and there's an issue to go to much of the concern is that your stance was a chimney that moved in the. most neutral. in the shit that it will. now 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 thousands of heads and an aging infrastructure questions are being asked over the security of the world's deadliest weapons you can expect. in

a field where there is no room for error a series of scandals is haunting the management of land based nuclear missiles earlier this year ninety one officers were implicated in a test cheating scandal it's twenty percent of all officers or in charge of some of america's deadliest weapons the air force removed the entire chain of command at the base where it happened while investigating those missileers personal cell phone since part of the drug investigation or so huge and spelling test material on 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

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 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. hearing or is it that you. connect when you make. i mean you can 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 of 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 i'm going to shake out. an embassy abandoned by the us is foreign to libyan islamic militants in the making the most of their prize and gang seized the home time before brazenly organizing a pool party a media tool and got the details on that just ahead plus more europeans are being sold by news that they'll no longer be allowed to buy certain types of vacuum

cleaners and the latest brussels ban these stories in a couple of minutes. this is our. propaganda. that is the state sponsor of russia today program just words but sabean not like i don't think analyze this or that is just ridiculous non-answer to my question. john is not. part of their safety and sometimes their lives all over the wall to bring people stories in the public than the child don't want you to see and we told the. police. dramas that trying to be ignored. stories others who refuse

to notice. the faces change the world. filled picture of today's leaves. from roads to blow. up to. it was a little very hard to take i. was happy that her accent was that perfect there. are the.

legal. the to. the. thanks. and on the faction in libya has seized the u.s. embassy in tripoli which has been standing vacant since the end of july once inside islamist militants immediately organized a media tour of the facility washington evacuated it stuff over a month ago as fighting escalated between rival gangs he added to the pan-african news wire told us that the us messed up in libya by overwhelming it with weapons.

the security situation in libya is becoming even more precarious the united states anticipating that this would happen and pulled out his 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 utilize some type of military force to get in and sort of a beachhead in libya but this of course will only spark more animosity and more fighting in a possible grow war about those who are opposed to the u.s. backed militias inside the country but another radical islamic state has been snatching by for territory from the control of iraqi and syrian government's. panel discuss whether this could make america once again intervene in the middle east or clearly that has been a failed failed strategy when it comes to syria and iraq how much is the obama

under pressure to do something as they always say something must be done you look at 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 a think airstrikes are relatively antiseptic least to the people in the airplanes out on the ground the choices are all bad you go away any take out the islamic state in syria you're helping us side. now there is a menace lurking in europe's households which brussels green army is determined to get rid of the high powered vacuum cleaner from today europeans won't be able to buy vaccines that burn more than sixteen hundred watts to clean their floors and it's supposed to help reduce energy usage but critics claim that's nonsense because people will have to use less power more rules for longer to get the job done and it's not the only appliance which your kratz have got their eyes on up to thirty

other household gadgets are in the firing line in the coming year from catalyst to head well the new sparked a mixture of feelings of panic buying and anger among consumers some rushed to the shops to snap up the remaining vacuum cleaners while others to lawmakers need to sleep poking around people. in one way they're paying a toll meant to the koreans to under need 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 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 at least it trying to run the whole of europe according to a ridiculous flawed dictum of economic decay far will they go when it comes to the

process of capitals hairdryers normal and mean it is 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. bahrain's detained another human rights activist the moment she got off the plane r.t. dot com has got the story for you and you can hear what the bahrain opposition leader jav has to say about her ordeal also online it turns out that a hard day's work can kill you a new study shows that your more likely to die on the job than in a war. now being a whistleblower again shady governments and business can be dangerous enough but it can also be risky when it comes to exposing crimes against wildlife now in the same vein as wiki leaks a new global project looks to help those who want to anonymously lift the lid on poaching and animal trafficking r.t.

talk to those behind the 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 more headlines from around the world now first to pakistan and an attempt to storm the prime minister's residence there crowds of anti government protesters tried to force their way into the property damage bad they also stormed the state run t.v. station temporarily taking it off air police took control of the transmission

building shortly afterwards and made dozens of arrests but resolute demonstrators of camp out in the capital until prime minister sharon resigned. heavy fighting erupted between syrian army forces and al-qaeda linked rebels by the demilitarized zone with israel on the golan heights explosions from mortar shells and persistent arms fire could be heard on the israeli controlled side of the frontier last week syrian rebels seized a crossing on the border and abducted un peacekeepers forty five troops from fiji is still being held captive in the area. and police in hong kong have clashed with pro-democracy supporters using pepper spray to disperse activists it was sparked by a speech from a beijing official who explained the restrictions on the island's next elections the demonstrators accuse china of breaking his promise to let hong kong directly elect the city's next leader twenty seventeen activists pledged to carry out
