because it's absolutely baking with a nuclear hitting record highs and lows and office just goes east all around the city of ten million looks like a huge beach fountains have turned to bathtubs with people taking every opportunity to plunge into something cooler than the ceiling area around but it's probably safer alternative to a we were swimming with a green statistics of three hundred drownings this week alone and it doesn't look like russians who haven't read from this furnace anytime soon. this is a serious abnormality the russian weather service has never measured such temperatures in moscow in july according to our calculations it hasn't even reached its peak here but not everyone is feeling the heat rushes some drinks an ice cream pretty serious and making a fortune barbers in the country have a new busy time to the everything haricot is a hit this summer one line shops like this one selling air conditioners and fans have waiting lists that run into english by going to continue with. mobile

conditioners sold out within three weeks just as the heat set in many moscow based companies fail to perceive this heat and they didn't want to fill their warehouses because of the crisis last summer we had rains this year no one was ready for the heat in a situation when no mounds of money can buy a global fresh air emergency centers are receiving thousands of calls from people suffering from heat stroke and sunburn. people with lung diseases will find it hard of course it'd be better to take them somewhere where there's no smoke another option would be to buy them respect to treatment ask they sell them in pharmacies it's far from a dog's life or a furry friends either this canine takes several showers a day to keep cool it's owner q do you feel for his bet that fact with his goats all year round. starbuck there's a look at the poor dog is suffering so much it always comes to sit on my lap said ice hoping i can somehow ease the hit all i can do is pull cold water on it you

know if mother nature is not meeting people suffer enough she's quite prepared to fro few under fire literally with a tinder dry conditions leading to forest fires some of which have been burning for weeks and you know the temperatures are going to be up every day it's very tough for us staff recently i heard a story about someone frying eggs on the pavement. now that sounds like a challenge. when life gives you lemons make lemonade well in this case muscovites have been given one big event and i say make omelet. we're always interested in your opinions on the stories we're covering you can have your say on our website that sati dot com or the russian heat wave stories of course no exception is today we're asking how you keep cool in scorching temperatures so far the majority of voters forty nine percent appear to be walking around in just their underwear twenty five percent of less provocative they prefer

to turn on the air conditioner go on of course well fifteen percent stock up on ice cubes and the minority of viewers claim to stick their heads in the fridge for too long or what's your opinion log on to see the current cost of your heat wave but. the hague's international court of justice ruled this week the cost of this declaration of independence was legal it's not a binding decision that's not stopping some countries from raising their voices the u.s. and many european countries praised the move to moscow says that wouldn't affect its stance and still wants dialogue between serbia and kosovo bill gray the argues the court only focused on the declaration and said nothing about the galaxy of course of an independent state planes that will secession from two thousand and eight violated its territorial integrity and its pledge to step up its diplomatic efforts to stop more countries recognizing course of a journalist and historian it. says the court's decision is unjust.

quite honestly didn't expect a world court to take such a directly pro-american position to be perfectly honest what course always as much independent does manchukuo vichy france was in world war two it's a puppet state it suffers from endemic corruption abuses of power in its government structure can be best. scribed organized crime is not a state in any way shape or form just because the us state department says it is a doesn't mean it is. on the hague's opinion reaction from two other states seeking recognition of. the court's decision confirms the double standards of western countries over their rights to. present as a prime minister. to the public's right to their own sovereignty. but the president confirms a people's right to determine their own identity but at the same time giving our

arguments more weight on the other hand it's all politicized and we can be sure that if we went to the hague we would get a similar ruling we probably wouldn't in spite of the fact that we have more historical legal and moral grounds to demand independence than cost of a double standards do exist it's not a secret to anyone in any case people who object to our independence will now find it difficult to openly claim that we don't have the right to determine our own standing. courts has delayed its verdict on a group of. nazi race hate crimes until psychiatric testing kerik out for the accused thirteen men are standing trial suspected of dozens of ethical motivated killings of terror plots and could face life in prison with dozens of people killed as a result of grace a russian. nationalists bottoms political. list self professed and deeply religious woman is filled with hate hate for those who

international event in decades however britain and pakistan have already said that some international forces may remain beyond that date to train afghan police meeting also focused on reconstructing in developing the war torn country as well as fighting corruption on drugs trade russia's foreign minister pledge that moscow will continue to help. we're committed to supporting you in efforts on stabilizing afghanistan we will continue to allow transit of international cargo and personnel to afghanistan through our territory we're working on additional measures to cook afghan forces together with our partners we're also helping restore the afghan economy this year russia rolled off the remainder of ghana stands eight hundred ninety one million u.s. dollars we will continue to provide humanitarian assistance. for u.s. drone attack killed at least sixteen suspected militants in northwest pakistan on saturday officials say approximately five missiles were fired at an insurgent

compound near the border with afghanistan the increased use of drones by u.s. forces in the region was also there to a surge in civilian deaths sparking international outrage parties going to cannibals. the economy out of the blue i have two words for you predator drugs. you'll never see it coming a drone least ten times cheaper than a fighter jet it requires no pilot so there are no troop deaths to explain it's the perfect weapon for covered cia operations in countries like pakistan and afghanistan if things go wrong you can deny it all place and things do go wrong studies by independent international experts suggest that for every militant killed as many as fifteen civilians also die there's no way of getting exact numbers the cia keeps its drones program under wraps but the united nations and other

international organizations question the legality of the extensive use of the weapon when you come to sort of undeclared war with organizations like al qaida or the ali baba and you go off the persians you say hey we suspect we say they are terrorists who have proven that the first direction targeting terrorists but humanitarian concerns seem to be doing little to dampen surging international demand for groans also known as unmanned aerial vehicles or u.a.e. vs the military appetite is such that the market is expected to grow to a staggering fifty five billion dollars in ten years from now with the advances in technology they depersonalize warfare and so therefore you have people war willing to use them and you have people that don't understand the consequences because the people who are flying the drones are not on the battlefield they're not in the play

here in washington d.c. suburb but the i.a.e.a. drone operator wakes up in the morning the family goodbye comes to the office and shoot the target thousands of miles away from here and go back home no risk or forward especially if they the whole operation reminds the b.t.o. get. the question many ask is if it is so easy and convenient world that our m.p.'s wait for you if war is cheap why not use a bit more pressure against the smaller countries and organizations stretch it out a case you would try to sit around the table with and talk it over demonstrators outside cia headquarters at the start of the year protested against indiscriminate killings by unmanned weaponry they say that rather than winning wars drones merely make more enemies by killing mostly innocent people out of fueling rather than quelling insurgency ganesh again r t washington d.c. . the u.k.

government has attracted to criticism after police forcibly removed a piece come from outside the british parliament in london on tuesday protesters who had gathered to call for an end to the war in afghanistan say the government has violated their right to free speech or teaser image reports. democracy but only on our terms that seems to be the message coming from the powers that be in the u.k. capital as a peace camp is finally removed from the government's doorstep as dozens of bailiffs and police sweeps to clear out the campaign as london's mayor said the demonstrators were making a mess and stopping the public from enjoying parliament square but the protesters insisted their crucial message is being muted primarily i would like to see the aggressive foreign policy that is government has been pursuing over the book for such a long time going back through many governments and i would look to see an end to the invasion of sobering stories. for any reason they've been resident in this

focal spot in westminster since just before may's general election mainly calling for an end to the war in afghanistan but adopting other peace causes along the way i'm here mostly because i met some people press coverage out here who ran a web shop about the laws of war which covers all wars and it showed me how evil wars are within the law and expose to me how unlawful the government is and and then that trickles into almost every other aspect of life and into how we advocate our children how much we are conditioned. opaque believes that while parliament sitting people should be allowed to make their protest heard within a short of their m.p.'s cricketers all about sri speech over time we fight wars over free speech and then we start a battle in parliament square against people who are expressing free speech that to me is a total contradiction it's anti-democratic so now calm is restored to parliament

square and the protesters dispersed but that determined people and vowed to gather again elsewhere it took sixteen bailiff some four hours to clear out the tent and the people and erect this and along with the protesters when the right to free speech. they say the government sending a message to democracy keep off the grass no rabbits. coming up next the cruel lessons being taught in india schools insurance is illegal between. people suicides needing parents to demand action. and ready to set sail or russian ports market navy day. one of my significant celebrations in neighboring ukraine. where you might of thought that suggesting a mosque built at ground zero in new york would have swelled muslim sentiments but

as online talk show host on hoffman's discovered there's plenty of tolerance in a city where america's worst terror. the city of new york is considering a proposal for the construction of an islamic center and mosque at ground zero do you think this is an appropriate site for a mosque this week let's talk about that i think it's a good idea to build a mosque there by actually i would put the idea sort of well for the actual why why . why there's a big problem when people equate islam with nine eleven going after the oklahoma city bombing happened we don't equate you know christianity with that i think it's over the qur'an teaches peace and nonviolence if the mosque holds the traditions of the qur'an i don't have any problem with it i have

a problem with anybody blowing up buildings i'm all for it so why do you think some people get so emotional and say it's the wrong thing to do because i think this is frustrated with their ignorance so they need somebody to blame something to blame so. that's like one way to go about it people who are afraid of the unknown they don't understand. so maybe building a mosque would help people understand and the idea is that the way i understand it is actually not just a mosque it's a center for interactivity it's a center for people to meet i believe it's been supported by some rabbis actually i think it's all politics and i think they use in the media to make it an excuse to do what they want to do for the best interests of the politicians though it doesn't matter all of the emotions that they're pulling out of people it's all about politics whether or not you support a mosque being built where the twin towers once stood let's just hope that everyone

remembers it was cultural intolerance that caused ground zero in the first place. entrepreneur in southern russia whose publicist a stunt sparked rights activists could escape punishment police say the man who strapped his donkey to a parachute in the east into the sky and of course no partly home to the animal. crossing points. to see that maybe even a simple fact that between never be thank you. and you probably never would if it wasn't for a seaside p.r. stunt not to be. sitting on the beach boys your parachute go on you couldn't quite figure it out i saw four legs now of my own a donkey it was intended to attract only local customers to watersports firm but its effect quickly ripple down across the world levy many worried about the

donkey's feet this animal was suffering was captured on videos and photographs and the way it spread through the media is really amazing and i think what the public has done is create a demand. for animals to be treated better and for people to pay attention after a tragedy such an audience the donkey's owner decided he tries handed a different sport running taking the evidence the animal itself with the police then concentrated all their effort on finding the owner and his donkey like this one there in moscow as you can see is a pretty big fella difficult to hide. in his haste to leave the donkeys owner abandoned other animals a camel and a horse rumor has it they too may have been skyward bound if it wasn't for their sheer size several days later he turned himself in along with the vets report confirming the donkey's good health please don't the owner will now even be fined
