with more than a thousand soldiers killed wounded were taken prisoner by anti-government forces over the last few days. good morning for me kevin owen here in moscow is just off to midnight you without international and we start with a grim tally on the calendar ten years ago what was supposed to be the first day of school began a terrifying ordeal for the small town of beslan in southern russia the world watched horrified as chechen militants seized what was called school number one taking a thousand people hostage mostly children and parents for survivors and families there the pain hasn't diminished.

so than the chronology of those painful few days it was early morning on the first of september with a mood of excitement and anticipation young families arrive for what should have been the start of a new term but terrorists or storm that school killing eighteen people in the process they laid explosives around the building on the second day the authorities managed to convince for awhile the attackers to release mothers and babies but at around one pm on the third day some of the terrorists explosives went off some hostages tried to escape only for the terrorists who opened fire on them a few days a few minutes rather later russian special forces moved in the number of victims of that siege was high it was three hundred thirty four innocents more than eight hundred injured that treasure reports than from beslan as its people remember those who were lost. 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 is now a 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 in the baseline 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 a lead us about of and her two daughters live through that basic 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 immediate return for this special commemoration the memories came flooding back. to this right. now if you will given that it was that that died. yes not that chart of god.

i think i said 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 under no excluded to vote with nasty to weigh up ideologically scoff at all muslim youth adopt not must not see him up to it and come up with all clueless don't want them to call them we have the you lie about when you cover news knowledge she got. it. yes do you get it done when she. just because i do see up in my goal of the moment. they stayed in that gym with her father school principal tar can sit down of through most of the fifty two hour ordeal that even the key cheat lie cheat so most of them i didn't keep them standpoint should be to put those i knew each other that's easy to do just because to them simply what is the point of them suddenly snuggle up we point is that

you've lost entire towns have been of a mean his grandfather didn't survive or you see the oh it's all black you did the it was good rochelle who did the. 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. more than three hundred candles lining the ground in beslan and close to perfect symmetry set up outside of the gym where so many people innocent people lost their lives people have brought their children young children in order to see what's going on here and i think it's interesting that these are children who in

many cases are far too young to understand probably before impact of what went on here. so there will be brilliant more coverage of more events over the next two days and also r.t. speaks to the only terrorist who survived the beslan atrocity you can hear what he had to say twenty minutes time you are not international and an hour and twenty minutes if you are in the u.k. all this is going all day you don't. need to know. that it's you know. is that. it. mr instance and. movements there are no plans to go in the east and there isn't much of the concern is the chest and the chimney that moved in a tree in. neutral. in egypt that it will.

next this morning for his promise to share his vision on how the u.k. should do with the threat posed by the bloodthirsty islamic state group that's operating in iraq and syria. have a listen to this speech to him piece it appears that it's all about given great social forty's and the police more power david cameron outline his strategy and getting this law mixed state and he believes to prevent rates from going abroad to travel alongside extremists and to prevent those who already have common back he would have to give more powers to police officers at the border to confiscate passports and in case the court decides to challenge him that he's considering create a new legislation to give the parliament the power to decide that over the court's next he wants british authorities to have enhanced the use of exclusion zones or relocation powers this is also something that will be debated and in general david cameron is responding to increased fears in the country over the widespread reach

that the islamic state has according to a recent poll by some sixty seven percent of brits support and five the u.k. government. confiscate passports of those who are suspected to be members of the islamic states and of course their fears are further exacerbated over the of course the slaughter of soldier and rigby in london the beheading of american journalist vice expected british jihad this and in fact five hundred of them have already known to have traveled to iraq and syria around half of them are already back so the danger and the threat is real and the brits here feel it and the paul of course shows the results of that and of course the latest revelation the fact that one of the islamic states key financier's was in fact the director of a muslim faith school right here in the u.k. in the city of birmingham and the fierce year of it are shared by brits are also shared by other european citizens and the leaders of those countries as you can see

now on your screen everyone is saying that the islamic state poses a direct threat to every single european country. coming from political and social commentary to mohammed and he told me he thinks the u.k. should assume this threat coming a long time ago. firstly the fact that we have this return of control orders and he claims i think but before you can we get to that stage people are wondering how when somebody is returning from syria or from the middle east are we going to assess whether they've been involved in any kind of radicalization any kind of terrorism or have in fact been fighting as to how do you think the problem has been that our policy on counter radicalization counter extremism has sensibly failed failed to intercept the failed around seven seven it's continued to fail seeing people who are under surveillance going overseas to fight as they see it in an ideological than an intellectual or spiritual jihad overseas so we have the minutes have a domestic policy which is centered around the home office which is mired in controversy

. the latest on ukraine and what could be a road map to peace the empty government leaders in the defined screeches have given their vision of their future with what exactly should be achieved they think to make it possible. of the offers and demands. at present it is of the don't it's going to guns with publics have been meeting with representatives of the king of authorities in the belorussian capital this is the first time that they has been such a concerted effort to reach some kind of negotiated settlement between the two sides but we are being told not to expect a major breakthrough and certainly not expected any time soon what this really is is an opportunity if you like for the two sides to size one another up and see in what areas they can cooperate now the team from lugansk and donetsk put forward several demands some of these include ending the military operation that is a direct call to the kiev government there also asking for special economic and

political status for the lugansk and in its cretins and at the same time for the russian language to be granted official status of course this is the dominant language in this part of ukraine in return they are offering to begin the process of restoring ties with kiev they looking at he creation of a shared security area and also for economic cultural political and social cop aeration now these talks come as fighting on the ground intensifies one of the flashpoints here in the past few days has been the town of ill advised square the ukrainian army was surrounded by anti-government fighters it was forced to surrender and lay down its weapons we traveled to the front line. the sound of victory after a week of did these battles is back in the hands of the anti government fighters ill of our skins 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 and the other one is torn to pieces they're left 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 their resistance stronger the result is that they suffer defeat commanded giving 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 equipment has been destroyed who will 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 my role 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 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. or a sort of bird's eye view of what's happening on the ground all the news war and the government forces needs to craner on the offensive it's becoming apparent indeed that cuba's military operation is facing defeat let's look at the area in orange here it's now reportedly under the control of local militias you see these red circles within these red circles are reported to be hundreds upon hundreds of ukrainian government troops that have been surrounded encircled near the turn of events that paula was talking about in her report as seen anti government forces providing a humanitarian corridor now to try to allow soldiers to leave unarmed kiev though has for its part forbidden soldiers to surrender but the less at least two hundred

have chosen to do so they say they feel they've been abandoned by their superiors and left to die without reinforcements as for another side of it another very vitally important side the humanitarian situation where the latest there is that russian aid is being handed out in cities and towns across east ukraine special trucks organized by local forces of ferrying supplies to communities the been hardest hit by the fighting the humanitarian crisis is also figuring in talks between kiev and the east that started in belarus last twenty four hours the vice premier of the so-called jeanette's people's republic who's one of the negotiators the spoke to us about conditions back home. the humanitarian situation is very difficult and the aid is desperately needed we are capable of organizing transportation and logistics but they must be supplied preemptively so as the wood complications. afoot now the second round of talks is set for september the fifth for the ready we has some progress has reportedly been made in the last twenty four

hours regarding prisoner exchanges we'll keep you updated on any more breakthrough in the by the russian capital of course it's now coming up to sixty minutes past midnight here in moscow had to stay with me kevin i had more news on the way. differently here in syria and now many of the members of congress of both parties have gone to syria in recent months has. ever. had mr president which is it is time for him to get. to go to peace to syria is going to be the step down. there we go again we're told the islamic state terrorist group is the worst of the worst and has global ambitions the public is being taught slowly but surely to fear

the islamic state it would appear washington continues to attempt to shape it in reshape the middle east. again tensions remain high in the pakistani capital of islamabad as police push back the protesters who attempted to storm a complex of government buildings violence comes as part of two week mass demonstrations led by a minister whose resignation is the chief demand schiphol perspective on this now on the unrest there with that lecture in pakistan of his comment had a bit days joining us live i bet it thanks for your time does this standoff started

a fortnight ago with mass demonstrations now those mass demonstrations have turned violent the rate of the local t.v. stations well for a while how likely is it that the government's going to heed these demands and collapse anytime soon though. i mean first of all i would like to look at it from a more historical perspective because pakistan has got a very bad history unfortunately of that reputed military intervention since its inception as an independent state breaking out in forty seven so it's quite unfortunate to see that to you to repeat it military intervention or a critique structure and due to corruption in their political and civil and military and see the democratic institutions couldn't develop and flourish and that has actually weakened democratic practices and due to that people actually lost faith and trust in democratic processes and what we see in the recent days that is

actually a manifestation of people lack of confidence and a pretty because this is a newly a recently many recent elected government has has been quoted to suggest to situation would you want to actually do any good to the democratic situation of a critic practices in pakistan rather may have passed the tape to military intervention so yes there is a warning sign there do lose a lot of concern about the. longer the government would be able to use the school of thought or what do you think you think the prime minister should go or stay i think the pub prime minister should stay and it's quite normal to have this sort of power to charm once in south asian region so but it's more important to lead a democratically elected government to complete its tenure it's appalling to see that over the last sixty or seventy years of pakistan's the history only one democratic regime could complete its tenure and so are you druther like to see and

many people like myself would like to see the government should continue to normal business course that's not as i should say that that's not actually a descriptive emraan card what is it they've said oh you know to indeed they say there's a there's a worry of me. critics say he's too soft on the pakistan taliban if he got into power be bad for security implications is that real worried you are i think it's a there's a lot of ground lot of reasons behind this warre and. in the past imran khan allied with the some far right wing groups like germany is not me who are who has a very notorious background some would argue and also one of his political most recently has suggested don't do should be soft coup in the form of sadr and the civilian led to government but backed up by military so that again is not very.

optimistic sign for a sunni politician i wonder where this is going to go i'm only just what less than twenty four hours ago we saw that the pakistani television station temporarily overrun you're the news caster you could save you could hear him say no need to panic but it is worrisome for the population there if this does get worse if it does kick off worse what's the army going to do and does that's a million dollar question i mean i would like to see army still remain indifferent to political development and respect to a democratically elected government too and allow it to continue but unfortunately pakistani army has gone to a long history of getting into getting involved into a political situation and this sort of demonstrations would only prove the ugly and and you know it's me messing with a very good to be to that that the situation is one of the later external affairs come to the big day thanks for being an r.t.

thank you very much. one of the world's most ambitious gas pipeline projects which is said to link russia with china has got off to a festive start running costs office in russia's far east regions construction of this is storage network got underway russia's gas pipeline network is expanding to the east now this is the first section of your brain power of save europe by applying that will carry the natural resource to customers here in russia and all the way to china as well invade moscow and beijing signed a record four hundred billion dollars deal that will bring russian gas to china over the next thirty years very large rated by president vladimir putin the pipeline is set to be complete at the end of twenty eighteen and russia will be ready to export to china in the following years now this project is one of many that's been earmarked to further develop russian chinese relations in the energy

sector as the economic bond between the two neighboring nations grows ever stronger among. a store to stare at work says brussels but at a cost new european union statistics on immigration inside the bloc show spain is one of the biggest losers why because thousands of doctors teachers now the professionals have left the cut ravaged nation to get jobs elsewhere in europe. or cove as a trader before their merger are of trading hi there thanks for your time previously the spanish government had brushed off pretty much the way that this would be a problem doesn't seem. to miss them really pull through and the day i will wake up call is this brain drain. well to be honest cohen i don't think the government's priority is the reduction of unemployment the current economic policies plan for growth of one and a half just on the one half cent this year two percent next year and they expect to create around two hundred thousand jobs in two thousand and fourteen maybe three

hundred thousand jobs a year for the next few years at that rate we would reach reasonable german levels of unemployment by twenty twenty eight because there although no jobs that's a problem if or if the skilled people have gone albeit maybe temporarily until things get better who's going to fill these new jobs. well spanish employment still remains that twenty five percent overall and fifty over fifty percent youth unemployment so there's plenty of people to work but obviously issue as you will very rightly say they're going to be lower skilled jobs and they're going to add less to the spanish economy and it's a policy of shooting ourselves in the foot and the government is obviously concentrating on other things apart from reduction on employment how would you think this is going to be a wakeup call to the government you think you're going to try and get these people the highly skilled people who are apparently going abroad to find a better times better life for them and their families do you think they'll try and get them back the spanish government. not at all the priorities lie elsewhere they're trying to trying to save the state operators that they

created the past ten years and as you know this over twenty thousand people. who have protected constitutional status in spain compared to say just five in the u.k. or two in switzerland and there's also ran three hundred thousand people working directly for the government if we had all the all the related sectors there's almost two million people working directly or indirectly for the spanish government and there are no pretensions of diminishing got a number so basically going to make taxes higher level really high to be a couple of times they're not going to lower labor costs so there's no chance of unemployment being reduced significantly we just see this steady drop group continues to see a steady drop of two hundred thousand three hundred thousand jobs created a year which is definitely not enough to bring us down to reasonable levels within within the lifetime. of our question but it begs the question was all this is tara

t. worth it the outlook doesn't look great does it but i guess otherwise was there any other choice than austerity what else could be done what's the sort of story when i was going to hear that it wasn't a choice the government had quite a future just to make the big could they could have lowered taxes they could have reduced frozen. in fact if they had followed the same policies that the very same political party floated in one thousand nine hundred six so that they could get into the euro they would have probably reduce the time of the crisis to two three years into the seven current years that we're seeing we're seeing the slowest recovery from a comic crisis from an economic recession ever in the history of spain so obviously they did have choices and they have chosen to stumble on to try and get slightly better but not really a true recovery one of the same time saving the political interests felix who knows maybe the listening is the cat may be listening to what you have to say tonight tonight maybe no felix to cope with always so. thoughts big man is the portfolio manager of trading writes come up twenty seven is posted next announce

international on the tenth anniversary of the best massacre we've told but so much this we hear from the only surviving terrorist who serving behind bars to hear what he's got to say these days and if you want to get to the u.k. cross-talk lined up for you discussing the global threat posed by the islamic state extremist group. in dunedin florida a young boy named t.j. guerrero is learning how to become an american man the old school way by selling cool drinks at a lemonade stand we hear a lot of lame examples of american exceptionalism from blowhard politicians but the idea of kid tropper nurse ship and the iconic norman rockwell esque lemonade stand is something exceptional and has certainly been good for the nation but for all of his hard work what does t.j. get in return one of his neighbors is trying to shut down his quote illegal

business that neighbor says the lemonade stand causes traffic noise trash illegal parking which all harms his property values cry me a river we all wonder where to support for the police to come from won't come from people. this wilkie character who need the government to deal with a twelve year old trying to earn yes earn money you know there are some guys who work on cars on the street outside my window and yeah they get loud sometimes but i'm never going to call the cops on them because i'm just happy that some gunmen are still interested in working with their hands and moscow you see a lot of lads at short shorts with chihuahuas it's up to all of us to give each other a break sometimes and not tattle to the state about every little problem but that's just my opinion.

as. a wall. this is the new this is for the.
