I didn't understand that one a bit. Lol
It was at the top of a lookout tower in the Gallifreyan capital city of Arcadia (the Doctor's / Time Lords home planet), and soldiers were basically professing how their jobs were useless because sky trenches keep ALL enemies out...and then the Daleks inexplicably break through and attack. this is the very first day of the long and arduous Time War.
In the Series 2 finale DOOMSDAY the the four Daleks who make up the Cult of Skaro ask the Tenth Doctor who he survived the Time War, he replies:
“By fighting. On the front line. I was there at the fall of Arcadia. Someday I might even come to terms with that.”
The Fall of Arcadia happens near the end of the Time War...and from the trailers for THE DAY OF THE DOCTOR, we will see the fall.
It should also be noted that Rassilon (Timothy Dalton in THE END OF TIME PART II) is already Lord President as his symbol/family crest is embossed on the High Guard armor ion that minisode.
