For nearly 3 days most hostages were kept in this building the sports hall the terrorists lined the room with explosives hanging from the Basketball Hoops on the ceiling its thought one of these that the nations on the 3rd day triggered a gunfight between the hostage takers and Security Forces the bullet holes on the walls the charred remains of the ceiling which caught fire better estimates to what happened after beslan is a small town just under 40000 people its hard to find a family here that wasnt either directly affected or knows somebody who was in the room was full of people who perhaps were involved in the siege medics who ran towards the fire to tend to the wounded parents and teachers who decided to stay with the Children Police officers who tried to save those who could.

Dot com well bring you more from the commemorations throughout the day. And other news the Russian Military says the u. S. Carried out an air strike in syrias illit province without 1st giving notice thereby violating quote all agreements my colleague and her farmer discuss what happened with our teams mine gusta. Why is russia so angry over this because on the face of it you could argue look america is targeted and you have a Training Camp whats wrong with that were just a little bit of background had been a bitter battleground for many months now the syrian army against rebels jihad the syrian army coming out and top taking a number of strategic towns but throughout all of these months the United States europe had been demanding calling for a cease fire yesterday at 6 oclock in the morning 31st of august a cease fire was unilaterally called by syria its forces stopped everywhere no more offensive maneuvers its air force was grounded unilateral cease fire backed by russia backed by turkey a few hours after the cease fire took place 2 cold the United States carried out a wave of air strikes on where it says it was targeting an al qaeda Training Camp russian intelligence russian the Russian Military on the other hand says what they hit was a number of settlements Populated Areas and left a lot of casualties there are multiple victims within Populated Areas that were targeted by the u. S. Airstrike it was carried out in violation of all agreements as washington failed to inform russia or turkey about its intentions United States was saying it was targeting. Members who were threats to u. S. Citizens to allies and to innocent civilians but because this is aside from the fact that you know the basically undermine the ceasefire because the jihad is became confused they started shooting at the syrian army the syrian army didnt shoot back the russians say but aside from that there was this also the fact that this was the russians say very unprofessional because theres a procedure in place whatever you carry out in their strike in syria you warn Turkey Russia the United States whoever this is. To avoid unnecessary escalations risks in the air the United States knew that there was a ceasefire taking hold just a few hours before and the didnt inform either russia. That it was going to carry out these strikes which leaves both countries with a lot of questions the Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has said both moscow and ankara will stick to the arrangements regarding the deescalation zone despite the u. S. Strike weve asked the u. S. Department of defense to comment on the matter but have not received an answer as of yet political analysts who say fareham things washington ought to have notified russia and turkey. At a time when the Syrian Regime had hoped to deescalate and called for a unilateral ceasefire which was greatly welcomed by turkey and russia this type of attack does cause concern could have been carried out at a more ideal time it could have been carried out in cooperation with the russians and the turks which would have probably made the attack even more successful and more acceptable on behalf of all parties keep it a secret when it serves everybodys interests that still remains a question to me but yes it definitely does cause concern when there is all this talk of a cease fire in the region to see dramas about bombs dropping back out of the sky again in civilians obviously concerned in causing more migration north. Is more divided than ever over brocks it saturday saw tens of thousands take to the streets in cities across the country after Prime Minister Boris Johnson and johnson didnt suspend parliament ahead of the e. U. Divorce deadline decision means will have less time to debate and therefore influence the way the u. K. Leaves the e. U. Also as some see it as the only way to get over the line others say its undemocratic. Reports. Boris johnson is being well boris hes being bold as brass and he wants to come what may tell you what you do one part of what papal you suspend it he needed how much permission to do that which he thought we dont want to wait until october the 31st before getting on with our plans to take this country forward we are going to have a queens speech and were going to do it all ok but the 40 weve got to move ahead with a new program but why cant the lawmakers a quick refresher if youve been avoiding the news because you just cant take the b. Word anymore full in number 1010 and to resume a whos carney getting away from it all hiking in the swiss alps spent 3 years trying to. After the referendum something we are definitely clear on bricks it means bricks it bricks it needs wrecks it wrecks it means bricks it and were going to make a success of it but parliament had other ideas patchy shouting her down even when her her key points had her reaching for her water then she found that brussels wasnt very happy about how to bit a juror to old blighty and wouldnt budge on key points like the irish backstop to maintain a seamless border on the emerald isle they managed to thrash out a deal though and may tried 3 times to push it through parliament no luck so she shared a tear and left i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had to the opportunity to serve the country i love. And to Boris Johnson. Leave count figureheads johnson promise to take the u. K. Out of the European Union by how do we do you dont know and thats really all people riled so where are we now well just 2 months from b. Day and with Parliament Due to be suspended before its even got going and p. S. Will only have 2 weeks to try to block a no deal bracks said everyones crying foul saying its a constitutional crisis others though have just had enough hes gone on for so long now we just need to get on with it because its just causing more trouble whole process is discussed in. Parliament has been bypassed and is. Not democratic its a catastrophe so anybody who tried to bring it in would be. Able to peter voser i think its a constitutional outrage he wants to see. You know when. Its self important little man will blame any problems on others and he will be patted on the back for delivering bricks and when an election thats what he says Boris Johnson should do everything he can. To get back for it if you can get it through then hes out although where is cynics point out that whats really on democratic ah m. P. s in westminster spending 3 years and piles of taxpayers money by dithering over to leg breck said ok perhaps it was a little rogue ish to disrupt the queens Summer Holiday in scotland and maybe suspending parliament was quite drastic for whats supposed to be a parliamentary democracy thats apparently taking back control but then this is Boris Johnson whos never been one for the convention and it has been 3 years already just about every hour for new explored every negotiation tactic used every amendment consider it so maybe just maybe its going to get his way and builders. Away from brussels altie london. Following a night of violence and clashes with Police Hong Kong protesters resumed their rally on sunday. Night. Earlier protesters gathered at Hong Kong International airport setting up barricades to block roads leading to the terminal trains linking the city to the airport were suspended along with some bus services the train station was also attacked by protesters demonstrations were initially spark in june by a proposed bill that would allow extradition to mainland china. Still to come in the program commemorations for the 80th anniversary of the beginning of world war 2 are taking place in slovenia will cover that story and more after the break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development only. Exists i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. When it comes down to it it is not actually that i think one can say oh well the russians are all bad this certainly is not the case that the west is all good theyre all absolutely things that the west needs to be doing and what i would like to see is much much less. Counterproductive for tarakan struggles we see against russia that its you know its its become an easy way of getting certain the audiences to approach you is to come up with cheap russian bashing that helps news. Youre watching the weekly here on r t welcome back a french mer lost his fight to protect people and his village from pesticides this week although he banned their use a court over ruled him and hes now appealing that decision however his case has inspired other mayors across the country to take summer action charlotte even ski reports. This tiny Breton Village of long go it has found itself at the center of controversy in the battle over the pesticides in may the local mag to court some saw as being a Bold Decision to ban the use of pesticides within 150. 00 metre cordon over the village farming unions were furious on the matter and did up in court now the man daniel coeff had his ban overturned but the debacle is now shining a light on the deep political contradictions so rounding pesticides in france well president might call and praised his intentions for tackling phosphates a burning issue over Health Concerns he said the solution was not to issue a decree that doesnt comply with the law for macko if thats a double standard. I dont understand what is happening in my craw and the ecology minister said that i am right and doing a good thing to protect my people but in the meantime i am facing court for a decision to keep pesticides at a distance of 150 metres i dont understand politics now it seems the decision by the court to take his ban all pesticides was illegal has also earned good residents in this usually sleepy village. 2 children wit lots of fields around long where and its Important Health matter for us especially for children we breathe the in the press the sites we did during test in the amount of best the sites we found was alarmingly high even though we eat organic and we grow some of our own food that is also organic. I think the government isnt doing its job and theyre the 1st to say that there should be no past decides they did nothing and it was in the genes or q poll shows we were in a small village that is close to a farm an area we need to protect people to we never know what kind of Health Issues could be created by pest. So i think the decision by the mayor was intelligent and he needed to make a decision to protect the people but now he has difficulties with the Justice System the World Health Organization has said gleich phosphate often used to weed killer probably causes cancer while gov phosphate has hit the headlines over Health Concerns much corn had promised to ban the use of phosphate by 2021 that provoked an outcry by farmers in unions who said they needed an alternative mark and then pushed the ban back to the following year when the current license will expire now across france the ban imposed by mcewan has gained traction he may have lost the 1st battle in court but now around 20 other matters have followed his lead banning the use of pesticides close to homes while farmers are furious and cry these bans as being politically motivated saying they are getting on the environmental bandwagon ahead of my own elections. Mayors are already thinking of the next election environmentalists are wreaking havoc on our agriculture and our only factories floundering in this these mayors are outstanding scientists they are taking advantage of peoples fear to make this kind of decision which is good for their images protectors of the environment and the population but it seems the government has been backed into a corner there must be a minimum distance between residential areas and best decided sprain i will advise in the coming days forming unions and the companies that produce pesticides ashore to have something to say about that but so too does make a wish who believes that these things all the only way to protect people who live in their farms which use pesticides otherwise he says their health is screwed so its even ski for altie language importunity commemorations to mark the a. B. s anniversary of the start of world war 2 began this week in slovenia and eternal flame was let out a memorial built in honor of soviet and slovenian soldiers the torches was brought all the way from russia and was itself a lift from the eternal flame at the tomb of the unknown soldier at next the kremlin some of the veterans who attended the event share their memories of the war with us. Living. I joined the liberation front in 1942 and 4th for it till the end of the war our battalion carried out the greatest number of attacks against the nazis at the age of 17 i was the commander of the italian i still remember how we fought against the italians we took a position on a hill just minutes before they came we had to fight back with grenades it was hard to shoot there a battalion managed to break down their resistance and won the battle we were very brave back then what happened in those days should never again be repeated in the history of humanity was slow me russia slovenia yugoslavia all of the fraternal nations were fighting against the nazis back then i was a partisan i still remember how we were recapturing weapons and provisions from our enemy just to keep the resistance alive im sure that what happened during the times of war will never be repeated with passing this horrible experience from generation to generation to our children and grandchildren. The ceremony in slovenia is meant to serve as a reminder of the soviet unions role in the liberation of europe from nazi germany and the price both nations paid heres a reminder of the really us plight under nazi occupation. Oh yeah. Thats a recap of just some of the stories that help shape the world these last 7 days fall latest and up to the minute reports follow us on twitter facebook. Last. Day theres things. We didnt. Know why paradise was some up all year round turned into a round the experimentation field the agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants theres no question otherwise why would that the Chemical Company workers themselves be geared up and suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people where one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of Environmental Research going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. There. Are. There are. A lot. Lot. Of. Everyones story is different everyones path is different you dont know whats actually going to change. And i was pretty comfortable in my life before this happened. Earthenware dobbs ferry. Got me into this. You know i was a middle child. Im sorry he was the day.

The 1st officers approached him they sat him up they talked to him and then they left my coworkers time out how they were going to call again and i said you know if he was doing something illegal they wouldnt have just walked away and left him there. A 2nd call was made anyhow. And the officers actually came back up to us and they said hand theres nothing to enforce hes not protect the law please stop calling. And honestly i even forgot to tell later when the 3rd officer showed up. And well we were towed when the call came though they spat it went to the beat cabs. And the message on the beat kept self. Like this officer called in the news just there something on the board already here all. Just sort of 46 nothing and his friends told
