If journalism is the first draft of history, what happens if that draft is flawed?
In 1999, four Russian apartment buildings were bombed, hundreds killed,
but even now we still don't know for sure who did it.
It's a mystery that sparked chilling theories.
I'm Helena Merriman and in a new BBC series,
I'm talking to the reporters who first covered this story.
What did they miss the first time?
The History Bureau, Putin and the apartment bombs.

Was your flabbergasted at the Robert Jenrick day?
No, because if you'd said, give me a list of the most likely conservatives to defect to reform,
he would have probably been at the top of it.
So no.
What about Marple Badenock?
Well, I think she's developing more of a ruthless streak.
I think she displayed that.
I think she made the best of a terrible hand, which is somebody very prominent defecting.
I also just want to share with newscasters,
Adam and I had a fruitless search for good nicknames for detective Badenock.
