Syrian President's first interview since US attack

In his first interview since the US strikes, Syrian President Bashar Assad tells French news agency Agence France Presse that the chemical attack on a rebel-held town in north-western Syria was staged by the West.

We also hear from our correspondent Olga Ivshina in Moscow as the European Court of Human Rights rule that the Russian state could have done more to prevent the 330 deaths in the Beslan school siege in 2004. And the latest on Dr. David Dao, the man forcibly removed from a United Airlines; a report on how running might extend your lifespan; and why are more women entering Iranian politics?
