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.

Hello, here is a bonus episode of Newscast, and here is the backstory.
We thought, wouldn't it be funny if we did a review of the year, but now.
So rather than waiting till December 2026, what if we did it on the 27th of January 2026?
The idea being there is so much news this year,
it feels like we've lived through a whole year already.
And it's kind of like the podcasting version of that meme that you might have been sent from the sitcom 30 Rock,
where Tina Fey says to Alec Baldwin, hey, what a week.
And Alec Baldwin says, Liz, it's only Tuesday.
So that is a little experiment and a little bonus that we're giving to you in the newscast feed.
So what you'll hear is me, Chris, Henry.
