Inside the Baikonur cosmodrome
Eight people died when a roof collapsed at Russia's main space launch site, the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The eight were repairing the roof of one of the hangars - used for assembling and testing space vehicles - when three out of five segments crashed 80 metres (260 feet) to the ground.
