Russia launches retaliatory strikes on Ukraine using ballistic missiles, including the hyper-sonic Oreshnik. All this in response to Kiev's drone strikes on a school dormitory in the Lugansk Republic, which took 21 young lives. RT reports from the scene of the attack, while CNN and the BBC refuse an invitation to visit the site. We speak with an adviser to the Iranian president, as his nation suffered a similar tragedy, which the Western press largely ignored. In Washington DC, Secret Service agents shoot dead a gunman as he opens fire near the White House. One bystander is critically wounded in the crossfire.
