Armed guards from Vladimir Putin's entourage were involved in an ugly fight in South Africa after they were ordered to put top secret suitcases - believed to contain the codes for Russia's nuclear arsenal - through a security scanner.



The nightmare scenes came as the Kremlin leader arrived in Durban on an official trip to attend the 'BRICS' summit.



Angry 'pushing and shoving' broke out after some members of Putin's security detail were prevented from following the Russian president into the conference hall staging the summit, which was hosted by South Africa's president Jacob Zuma and also involved Brazil, Russia, India and China.

Eh, I dunno. Keeping guys carrying suspicious suitcases away from a meeting between various leaders seems pretty sensible.
