east with more than a thousand soldiers killed wounded or taken prisoner by anti-government forces. around the clock across the globe this is r t international great to have you with us my name to you know neal welcome ten years ago on what was supposed to be the first day of school a terrifying ordeal began for the small town of beslan in southern russia the world watched horrified as chechen militancy school number one taking a thaw people hostage mostly children on persons for survivors and families there the pain has not diminished.

early morning on the first of september with a mood of excitement down in to supply in young families arrive for the start of the new term but terrorists stormed the school killing eighteen people in the process they laid explosives around the building on the second day the authorities managed to convince the attackers to release mothers with babies of around one pm on the third day some of the terrorists explosives went off several hostages tried to escape only for the gunmen to open fire on them a few minutes later russian special forces moved in the number of victims of the siege was high three hundred thirty four innocent civilians died and more than eight hundred were injured reports from beslan as people remember those who were lost. 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 a shrine 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 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 a lead us about of and her two daughters lived 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 dish right. now if you will given that it wasn't the diet. he chartered a coffin you should google my name gets into the guys and 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 you go excluded to vote you have states away by your logic is because our muslim youth was provoked to not must not see him to come you. don't want them to cloud don't we have that. when you cover news knowledge she got to. eat. yes do you do when 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 that even the key cheat lie cheat so much them i didn't keep them standpoint she beat. and you could tell that he did not miss just these two now 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 we did the it was good rosewood. 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. leda 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 in 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 the full impact of what went on

here. trance reporting we'll be bringing you more coverage of the memorial events over the next two days also r.t. speaks to the only terrorists who have survived the beslan atrocity you can hear what he has to say in twenty minutes time here on our to international well this is this is little david i'm going to. need to know. it's. is that you. need to. leave once there is no begins to go in the beast and there's an issue to go to much of the concern in situations where the chimney it moved into the. most neutral. well i'm going to get you that new nature that it will. to another of our headlines this hour 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 run paging across iraq and syria ortiz marína culture of illicit into a speech in parliament it appears that it's all about given great social forty's and the police more power david cameron outlined his strategy and getting this law mixed state and he believes to prevent variants from going abroad to travel alongside extremists and to prevent those already have some common back he would have to give more powers to police officers at the border to confiscate the 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 years 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 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 on your screen everyone is saying that the islamic state poses a direct threat to every single european country. earlier we heard from

a political and social commentator mohammad unsorry who thinks the u.k. should have seen the threat coming a long time ago firstly the fact that we have this return of control orders and t. pims i think but before you can we get when somebody 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 is 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 you had overseas so we had the minutes have a domestic policy which is centered around the home office which is mired in

control of c ok let's bring you up to date on ukraine and what could become a road map for peace the antigovernment leaders in the donetsk and lugansk regions have said i'd their stance on establishing ties with kiev and the conditions that need to be minute but there are still major obstacles and representatives of the self-proclaimed donetsk people's republic say kiev has already refused their proposal for both sides to stop using heavy artillery and warplanes in the conflict talks were held in minsk on sunday here's paula sleeker with more on what was discussed. representatives of the donetsk going to gun school 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 new guns candidates 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 regions 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 here they looking at the 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 vice 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 of our skees 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 vital two bodies one is burnt in 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 they put down their weapons but before they did they resisted strongly the result is that they suffered defeat commanded. 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 and 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 food days we took it back. and in the process squashed the mole 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 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. and to government forces in eastern ukraine are on the offensive and it's becoming a part of that kiev's military operation there is flooding now the area shown in orange right here is now reportedly under the control of local militias but the red circles represent areas where hundreds of ukrainian government troops have been surrounded the encirclement is near the town of elo vice criteria that paula reported on with government forces there providing

a humanitarian corridor to allow soldiers to leave peacefully kiev though has forbidden any of its troops from surrendering nevertheless at least two hundred have chosen to do so saying they've been abandoned by their superiors and left to die without the help of reinforcements as for the humanitarian situation russian aid is being handed out in cities and towns across eastern ukraine special trucks organized by local forces are ferrying supplies to hit hardest by the final humanitarian crisis is also figuring in talks between. kiev on the east have begun in dollars the vice premier of the so-called the netsky people's republic who is one of the nookie cheaters has spoken about conditions bok. the humanitarian situation is very difficult and the aid is this greatly needed we are capable of organizing transportation and logistics but they must be supplied preemptively so as the wood complications the second round of talks is set for september the fifth

but already some progress has been made regarding prisoner swaps we will of course be keeping you updated on any breakthroughs that happened in the battle russian capital more news on the way today why the e.u. is pulling the plug on powerful vacuum cleaners to stay with us. i. i. i. i. i marinate join me on. impartial and financial commentary concerning it and much much. only on the best and only. right on the scene. first strike. and i think that your.

reporters later. today in the. lead. but the. place was terrible take another look very hard to take i don't. want to get along here there's a place like that you never had sex with that earthquake there's no place. for that you claim. the going to sleep with. sigler.

live players. play. live. for the a. little over. fifteen minutes into the hour welcome by pakistan's capital is in the grip of political turmoil on sunday police force spock a crowd of protesters attempting to storm a government complex in islamabad it follows two weeks of position rallies calling for the prime minister's resignation earlier we spoke to a pakistan affairs expert about what is behind me on rest. it's quite unfortunate to see that to you too repetitive military intervention bureaucratic structure. due to corruption in the political and civil and military group proceed to doing pretty

good stringent screening to develop and flourish and that has actually we can do pretty practice is what we see in the recent days that is actually a manifestation of people's lack of confidence in democratic practices of a newly a recently more recent elected government as has been put into use to situation which would actually do any good to the democratic situation too quickly this is in pakistan rather made fast the. military intervention so he has to resign warning sign did you lose a lot of concern about him to own your own government to be able to sustain that i don't know for decades the us has been spending hundreds of billions of dollars on its nuclear arsenal but with a spate of scandals surrounding the units responsible for the thousands of warheads on an aging infrastructure questions are being asked over the security of the world's deadliest weapons guy in a church 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 who are 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 missile as personal cell phones as part of a drug investigation o.s.i. agents found 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 easy 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 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 what they're hearing or is it that you can't connect when you make. i mean you can hear in the other person on the other end 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 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 weapon safe in washington i'm going to check out our team. when i take a peek out our website on the stories waiting for you there including the search for a ghost ship a kurdish oil tanker missing for several days is the get it by satellite here the u.s. coast on our t. dot com find out why the vessel with its hundred million dollar cargo has been

avoiding detection. also online the north korean government goes ballistic over british t.v. drama focusing on the reclusive nation's nuclear program pyongyang calls it a quote slanderous farce find out why the issue is all such anger on our website. there's a menace lurking in europe's high souls which brussels green army is the term and to get rid of the high powered vacuum cleaner as of monday europeans are not able to buy a vacuums that burn up more than sixteen hundred watts to clean their floors and do all the rest but it's supposed to help reduce energy usage critics however claim that's nonsense because people will have to use less powerful models for longer to get the job they want to to be it's not the only appliance which your across the gulf their eyes on up to thirty other high school gadgets are in the firing line in the coming year from kettles to her drivers well the new spark mixed feelings of

panic buying and. consumers some rushed to the shops to snap up the remaining high powered vacuum cleaners while others took aim at lawmakers need to sleep poking around people's homes. in one way they're paying atonement to the crazed 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 don 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 does not become a victim of the whole process of brussels is not the state trying to run the whole of europe according to a ridiculous through old dictum of economic decay or will they go when it comes to the process of capitals hairdryers normal ameena teams 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. there's been another victory for the euro skeptics this time a german party has won its first parliament seats following an election in the state of sites and now has its sights on other provinces the alternative for germany group already has seven euro and p's party member hugh bronson experience what his group wants to achieve in brussels. the main issues that our seven representatives in the european parliament want to address of calls over three points one of colt's is to secure national sovereignty and to work against the united states of europe because the peoples of europe have never been asked if they want to live in a super state stretching from bomb to let's say the border to ukraine. secondly they want to reduce bureaucracy and the spending the uncontrolled spending of taxpayers' money that goes to brussels last but at least they want more
