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.

Chris and I are in the same studio at Westminster
because I've got an evening engagement on Monday evening.
Hello, Chris.
Hello, that explains why you're here.
I thought it was actually come to see me, but no.
Oh, that's a joint priority.
Although,
we're not going to see each other face-to-face for a few days now
because you're going on your travels.
Yeah.
