A RUSSIAN TV show has shown footage of the surviving Boston bombs suspect in his first court appearance - despite a ban on cameras inside the court.

News outlets received a "no cameras'' memo advising them of a ban on filming the arraignment of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev yesterday. Instead they had to make do with supplied courtroom sketches.

BOSTON BOMB SUSPECT PLEADS NOT GUILTY

But it would appear at least one TV station never received the memo or chose to ignore it.

Vesti TV posted a video showing footage of Tsarnaev inside court. The footage appears to have been filmed from video shown in a room for journalists.

His arm in a cast, Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty to terrorism charges.

The proceedings lasted just seven minutes and took place in a courtroom packed with victims of the bombing, the families, police officers and members of the media and public.

Tsarneav faces 30 charges, including using a weapon of mass destruction to kill.

The April 15 attack killed three people and wounded more than 260.

Authorities allege Tsarnaev orchestrated the attack along with his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died following a shootout with police three days after the bombing.
