break it out a note from moscow this is r.t. you're watching our news review of the week with me kevin owen and first russia has been hit by an unprecedented heat wave but this one for ready the hottest on record ever but as well as the pleasures of swimming and sun bathing the sport with it fires smoke and health risks two parties are telling of a cover as more from the capital of temperature records. the sound they got its hands on in central russia but it can be wearing much else because it's absolutely baking with a nuclear hitting record highs and lows in 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 will have a week from this furnace anytime soon. partner 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 it but not everyone's feeling the heat rushes some drinks and ice cream pretty soon and making a fortune but i was in the country having a busy time to the everything over harry kite is a hit this summer one line shops like this one selling air conditioners and fans have waiting lists that run into english by being a can sing a little. mobile conditioner 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 where norm out of money can buy you a global fresh air emergency centers are receiving thousands of phone. from people

suffering from heat stroke and sound. people with lung diseases will find it hard of course it would be better to take them somewhere where there's no smoke another option would be to buy them respect they sell them in pharmacies it's far from a dog's life for three friends either this canine takes several shows a d. to keep cool its own or if you do you feel bad that it's stuck with its coat all year round. there's a look at most of 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 if mother nature is not meeting people suffer enough she's quite prepared to fru few under fire literally with a tinder dry conditions leading to forest fires some of which have been burning for weeks. the temperatures are going to be up every day it's very tough for us 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 of an and i say make omelets but they're not about art. but the heat isn't the only natural challenge moscow's dealing with choose their the capital is hit by this freak hurrican the powerful winds up rooting trees and tarantula rain flooding the streets all in all damage costs the city a million dollars just suborning there may be more americans on the way. but antiwar peace camp set up in front of london's westminster parliament was removed by dozens of police officers in the wake protestors say their democratic freedoms and right to free speech were being violated the very things the government said it wanted to protect when it went to war in iraq and afghanistan. 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 i would like to see a better government. more pro-american i would look to see the aggressive foreign policy this government has been pursuing over the course was not too long till going back through many governments and to see an end to the invasion of sobering states. 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 it also became a magnet for all sorts of people including anna

a teacher who gave up her job and her apartment to join the demonstration but i'm here mostly because i met some of the press coverage out here he ran a web shop about the rules 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 educate our children how much we are conditioned former m.p. and london merril candidates lembit 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 free speech all the time we fight wars over free speech and then we start a battle in parliament square against people who are expressing free speech but to me is a total contradiction it's anti-democratic but as democracy village is replaced by . one and a half metre metal fences the demonstrators are adamant it's no barriers to getting hurt every time citizens of

a country step outside the. authorized parameters approaches and they take rather cool nonviolent action you have a tremendous power she affects people in all positions of society and that you can achieve just about anything you want or you need a bit of courage and desire to see a better world than now calm is restored to parliament square and the protesters dispersed but they're determined people and vow to gather again elsewhere it took sixteen bailey some four hours to clear out the ten thousand the people there were acts this bad and along with the process does when the right to free speech according to some they say the government's sending a message to democracy keep off the grass your enemies out see. still to come in the program getting to the heart of the hate we speak to the wife of an

a case of criminal activity and play to negligence law enforcement bodies in companies should do everything in their power to virt any repetition of events like this in the future and if this does happen again none of the law enforcement or company executives will remain in the job since we've seen nothing similar to this before so we must draw the most serious conclusions from all the coverage in the balkans says less violence than are the nearby north caucasus republic such as. last mall there were ten attacks on more in force and officials in ca but if you know in the north caucasus region is seen as one of the most volatile places not only in russia but in the world so authorities across the region are on permanent standby to prevent attacks. our correspondent made or is it over here without much more coming your way this including this. entire city of sevastopol

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 go by the idea of sort of juggling work but actually. why why. why there's a big problem when people equal it islam with nine eleven when after the oklahoma city bombing happened we don't equate you know christianity with that i don't think it's the qur'an teaches peace and nonviolence if the mosque up 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 that 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 are afraid of the unknown they don't

understand. that maybe building a mosque would help people understand the idea 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 is of politics and i think they use in the media to make it an excuse to do what we want to do for the best interests of the politicians no it doesn't matter all of the emotions that they're pulling out of people it's all about politics but they're 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. in india the recent suicide of a thirteen year old boy is said to have taken his life after being repeatedly caned at school has reopened the debate about corporal punishment although outlawed the

practice is still widely used but the case aspired anger from parents too demanding criminal charges for teachers who think that people. this is one of india's worst kept secrets the prevalence of corporal punishment in schools but the recent suicide of thirteen year old rival has brought the practice out into the open a student at the prestigious martin here for boys school in kolkata hanged himself at home earlier this year after being gained at school after spending months juicing the school for answers his father has filed a police complaint against the three teachers he says were involved i think that they were after him for a long way limiting he was so long as he was getting an individual. battering if i may use the word he was able to take it but when the all descended on him at the same time that i don't think. i don't think his young mind could have

that much animosity. emission from his friends the school's principal has admitted killing rules but says this was not responsible for his. case to set off a public outcry largely because it occurred in one of india's most elite schools but most cases of corporal punishment take place in government run schools and go largely unrecorded ten year old mounties are often beaten when he doesn't complete his homework on time. the teacher tries to teach us when we don't learn she hates us and sometimes cry when. the child with the state clearly doesn't solve any press one either the child would become too used to this kind of punishment and the effect would go off or else the child who's very sensitive and anxious by predisposition would feel very very vulnerable supreme court judgement in two

thousand. in all its forms in india habits die hard many teachers and even some parents still believe in the need for this. we don't want to hit them but we get angry sometimes because we're taking so much effort to teach them so sometimes we are forced to hit them with all of fifty children in the class teachers often resort to beating them to control their large numbers you hear words like phrases like it's a theatre of war out there teachers are sometimes frightened to go into class because there is such a lack of respect and. it's very hard to live in inverted commas control the class or discipline but for one loving father there can be no arguments about corporal punishment there's a log in st there's no debate if you let people hear your kids there will be a monster who will take out his frustrations on your own you will not be able to

save your child it's not open to discussion nobody has. nobody you god give them. to love not for some go to beat them up one father's crusade for justice is bringing the spotlight on to corporal punishment which is illegal but still common in indian schools one wonders how many more children will have to suffer before more humane methods of disciplining them are enforced gotten thing r.t. nearly. considering plans to build a mosque at ground zero the site of the twin towers were once to many asking if this is a fitting spot for a muslim religious center we brought this story a little while but will breach again out its very own big apple resident gauge the mood on the streets. this is the ukrainian city of sevastopol and of course it's the russian navy but this has been its home for as long as the the black sea fleet

has existed and the locals here everybody here in the crimea views that black sea fleet as part of its history as integrity to them as anything else concerning their city still thousands of people turn out to watch the navy day parade each year it's a spectacular event this year of course was the first year a first time in for over five years that the ukrainian and the russian navy actually participated in preparing the parade and actually taking part in the parade together so a doubly significant event of course thousands of turning up to watch the display and there was quite a sum of things to see military ships gliding by different artillery displays different displays of tactics and techniques that the navy can actually do such as locating underground underwater mines helping of those who have been stranded at sea various rescue operations various. military combat techniques were also on display for the crowds they were

a great crowd pleaser everybody here screaming and cheering when those combat techniques were on display so a lot of things going on of course concluding everything with the ship that is actually a fire vessel. that this is sort of like a fire fighter vessel which for this parade specifically becomes a floating fountain and the people loved it everybody here it was very a press crowd cheering everybody very happy of course it's not just the black sea fleet it's all of russia's navy that is celebrating today all of the fleets across the country are celebrating taking part in parades with people watching them and of course it's not just the parade that's part of the festivities tonight later on there will be magnificent fireworks displays all across the country and here in soonest of that is what today is ninety. years exactly since that day that most of the russian white guard and the so-called russian entirely against it were the russian army and aristocrats who were forced out of the crimea and were forced to

run in order to save their lives they were being forced out by the red army and they basically had a chance to stay and possibly lose their lives or just leave their motherland and search for halts in the search for a home and other countries and that is exactly what they did they left the port of to us and headed for turkey by many different countries and today this because it's the ninetieth anniversary of this very significant event in russian history a ship with all of the relatives of all those people who left the crimea actually made the same journey but backwards starting from turkey and actually heading back towards it docked here today if so a very significant bit of that a somewhat somber day but of course a hugely significant day for the city here. of course not report was all about the navy day celebration the truth of what i said before we went into it now was that of one of the play none of that it was

a donkey and the images of the terrified beast dangling from a parachute drew the wrath of the rights activists all over the world this last week but is too afraid. despite accusations of cruelty the man responsible looks likely to escape punishment. the magazine or maybe even a simple fact that between never see thank you. and you probably never would if it wasn't for a seaside p.r. stunt not to be. sitting on the beach or parachute go i couldn't quite figure it out myself or legs nor of my own ice a donkey it was intended to attract only local customers to watersports firm and a russian black sea resort but its effect quickly rippled out 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 created a demand you know for animals to be treated better and for people to pay attention after attraction is such an audience the donkey's owner decided he tries handed a different sport running taking the evidence the animal itself with and with ortiz also questioned the water sports company involved 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 and difficult to hide in his haste to leave the donkeys owner abandoned other animals the camel and the 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 vet's report confirming the donkey's good health police dog owner will now even be fined for the donkey he'll no doubt be relieved just to have his hoofs firmly back on the sand timothy cross who party. on the news
