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, we're going to start with some news of a bonus newscast listening opportunity.
We're going to be on Radio 4 on Wednesday, the 28th of January, at 11 o'clock in the morning.
And it's quite funny because we thought, has there been so much news already this year?
We could do the newscast review of the year 11 months early.
So we're going to try and see if that joke will sustain a whole 45 minutes of radio on radio four.
So you can listen to that.
Or first of all, you could listen to a classic episode of newscast,
which is coming your way right now.
Newscast.
