8:04 pm
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 lived through that 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 a meta returned for this special commemoration the memories came flooding back. to bush right. now would you. given that it wasn't the by the charitable cause of unusual move the money gets to the guys and it's a lot of teaching to the. terrorists took the hostages to the gym
8:05 pm
a little later her mother voluntarily entered the building to be with her daughters complain that when you go excluded to vote with nasty to where you got your logic is because our muslim youth adopt not must not come you can put all clueless don't want them to dummy have them. when you cover news knowledge she got to. eat. yes do you get them when she get just because i do see up in my goal of some of the mamas. 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 much the margin keep them stones which would be to put them still in the style and you could have the key to do it 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 i see the oh it's all black when you did the rochelle
8:06 pm
you 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. our leaders 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 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
8:07 pm

moving to more news britain's prime minister has shared his vision on how the u.k. should deal with the threat posed by islamic state the terrorist group currently rampaging across iraq and syria. and into his speech in parliament. it appears that it's all about given great social forty's and the police more power as david cameron outlined his strategy and getting this law mixed state and he believes to prevent it from going abroad to travel alongside extremists and to prevent those who already have common in fact 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 at all where 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 years in the country over the
8:09 pm
widespread reach that the islamic state has according to a recent poll by some sixty seven percent of brits of boards 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 read to be 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 poll 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 fears 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
8:10 pm
a direct threat to every single european country earlier we heard from political and social commentator mohamad or he thinks the u.k. should have seen the threat coming a long time ago. firstly the fact that we have these. return of control orders and 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 i mean it 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
8:11 pm

8:19 pm
a lot of concern about it to own all the government to be able to sustain. that for decades the u.s. has been spending hundreds some billions of dollars on its nuclear arsenal but with the spate of scandal surrounding the units responsible for the thousands of warheads and the needing infrastructure questions are being asked over they security of the world's deadliest weapons guy niche account takes up the story for us. 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 story charges some of america's deadliest 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
8:20 pm
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 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 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 years. their awful. what is great about them
8:21 pm

8:23 pm
