this is r t you're watching our news review of the week with me kevin o. and welcome if you just joined us russia has been hit by an unprecedented heat wave with this month already the hottest on record ever but as well as the pleasures of swimming and sunbathing the heat brought with it fires smoke and health risks to the telling of a cover war from the capital of temperature records. the sun may get its head on in central russia but it can be wearing much else because it's absolutely baking with the mercury hitting record highs and lows in office just codes eased 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 grim statistics of three hundred drownings this week alone and it doesn't look

like russians who have a break 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 in its peak but not everyone's feeling the heat rushes soft drink and ice cream pretty soon and making a fortune barbers in the country having a busy time to the everything haricot is a hit the summer online shops like this one selling air conditioners and fans have waiting lists that run into english. conditioners sold out within three weeks just as the good said 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 rain this year no one was ready for the heat in a situation where no mounds of money can buy a go before i share emergency centers are receiving thousands of calls from people suffering from heat stroke and sunday. 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 a risk or a treatment they sell them in pharmacies. it's far from a dog's life for furry friends either this canine takes several shows a day to keep cool it's owner few theories bet that it's stuck with it goes all year round. there's a look at emotions 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 what if mother nature is not making people suffer enough she might be here it's a fruit 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 a star 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 at their mark about. this last week that he does the only natural challenge moscow's been dealing with chews day the capitol was hit by a freak hurricane with powerful winds up rooting trees and tarantula rain flooding the streets or at all the damage cost the city of million dollars suborning removing the records. and he will peace camp set up in front of london's westminster parliament's been removed by dozens of police officers protesters say their democratic freedoms and right to free speech of 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 mass said the demonstrators were making a mess and stopping the public from enjoying parliament square but the protesters insist their crucial message is being muted i would like to see the. primarily not to see the aggressive foreign policy this government has been pursuing for such a long time going back through many. to see and. 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 i'm here

mostly because i met something. about the rules of war which covers all rules and it showed me how. 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 have our children how much we are conditioned to pay and london mayoral candidates lembit opaque believes that while parliament sitting people should be allowed to make their protest heard within earshot of their m.p.'s cricketers all about so 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 that to me is a total contradiction it's anti-democratic but as democracy village is replaced by one. the half metre metal fences the demonstrators adamant it's no barriers to getting hurt every time citizens of a country step outside the. authorized parameters approaches and they

take radical nonviolent action so you have a tremendous power she affects people in all positions of society and you can achieve just about anything you want all you need is a bit of courage. to see a better world for now calm is restored to parliament square and the protesters dispersed but they're determined people and vow to gather again elsewhere it takes sixty bailiff some four hours to clear out the tents and the people and erect this beds and along with the protesters when the rights of free speech according to some they say the government sending a message to democracy keep off the grass your enemies out see london. head from moscow this sunday night scaring to the heart of the hate we speak to the voices of the internationalists gang member who was found guilty following

a market bombing that took fourteen long. and how some indian schools become battlefields and teachers and children so fierce lives are being lost. on israeli cause convicted an arab man of rape but deception after he lied to an israeli woman he slept with about being jewish but while some say it's justice critics arguments and finley valid excuse for racism. this jewish drucilla my suburb is surrounded by arab neighborhoods and far from cultivating a culture of tolerance vigilante style jewish patrol groups calling themselves fire for judaism stand watch outside the local shopping mall their mission to prevent arab men mixing with local jewish girls the municipality has created a twenty four hour hotline where parents and friends can phone to rat on jewish schools breaking this to boot a specially trained team of counselors and psychologists is on standby to rescue

them publish more. it's important to save traditions culture history and identity because without this who are we are through my experience we can see that the chances for a healthy relationship between the really jewish woman and an arab man very very low it's because of the great differences between these two cultures showed up at any of the most recent case involves an arab man who posed as a jewish bachelor a jewish woman agreed to have sex with him but after she found out he was an arab and not a jew she filed a police complaint the courts took the case so seriously that he's now being convicted of rape by deception and same tools to eighteen months and present the judge said he had an obligation to protect the public concept the state of criminals who could know it innocent victims but reactions to the verdict differ i think if the women want to do it it's story blog a lot different it's our belief or more of a because something like this usually do is girls don't know where they're guys.

unless it's a choice you know. there should be a choice you didn't leave a choice but in prison is too much and this is the way that this conflict is ruining our present arrives that we cannot have relationships that we cannot be just human being arabs make up a fifth of israel's population but relationships between arabs and jews are rare former palestinian minister. says fights break out almost weekly and night clubs and other puppy. paces over the issue it's not religion he says it's racism there are the jewish gangs which are against. those who can go out. anywhere with. threatened force them to break their relations with in the two years ronnie white here and kitty been tata have been together they've never been physically threatened he's

muslim she's jewish but they're not thinking about leaving israel because they say it's simply too difficult on other levels and when my family found out they were very adamant about cutting me off on every level. for acting as a traitor to everybody and for being in israel and making that choice right now the israeli parliament aliens are considering a law that will be quiet prospective israeli citizens to the kid oil to israel as a jewish democratic state i would be furious most refused to swear allegiance to a state they believe explicitly excludes and marginalizes them. r.t. . police in southern russia claim they've killed two suspected militants of attacking a hundred lecturing plant on wednesday two security guards were killed when gunmen stormed the facility and knocked out two generators the same time nader is of all

reports from the republic of korea. it's been reported that the militants leader the who was behind the storming of this hydro plant in the north caucasus on wednesday morning a group of up to five gunmen forced their way into the. power plant killing two police officers at the entrance members of the gang who were reportedly identified by employees of the station as the attackers although there's been no official confirmation of the gang detonated four bombs equivalent to ten kilos of t.n.t. the explosions didn't damage the planned day and didn't affect the electricity supply of the region security has been tightened at all the energy facilities across russia. this is a sporadic event this is a case of criminal activity and blatant negligence law enforcement companies should do everything in their power to have any repetition of events like this in the

future and if this does happen again none of the. 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 you know about less violence than by north caucasus republic such as. last mall the ten attacks on law enforcement officials. 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. you want. from moscow it's. still ahead for. the entire city of sanaa nobody is white and blue the city and the country celebrates maybe find out the details in just. a moscow calls to. thirteen

activists call the situation out of control. you know local nonprofit crime watchdog group acknowledges it is getting light you know what needs to certain seizing the most odious groups that had been involved in systematic violence and terrorism during the last two years the largest formations in moscow were dispelled and the key activists and murderers detained. she says one thousand people have been killed due to hate crimes in two thousand and ten that's down from fifty for the same time period last year but that map does little to satisfy magritte feel self-reliance is better and police protection is supposed. there who. will take you to save the election comes into action after a crime is committed and. asked for veronica her husband is serving a life sentence for actions neither of them regret it were found able to work. r.t. . this week the hague's international court of justice ruled that kosovo's declaration

of independence was legal now while the court's decision is norm binding it has sparked international controversy in the u.s. and many european countries praised the move for moscow want to set a dangerous precedent and still wants dialogue between serbia and kosovo belgrade argues the court only focused on the declaration and said nothing about the legality of kosovo as an independent state serbia claimed possible succession in february two thousand and eight violated its territorial integrity and has pledged to step up its diplomatic efforts to stop more countries recognizing it journalists in a story in a voice says there are several reasons why they can't be called an independent state. it's pretty much a death sentence for international law this is a textbook case of. a clear violation of both the un resolution twelve forty four and all the accepted norms of international law. honestly was expecting

a more nuanced decision along the lines of it was illegal but it doesn't matter i quite honestly didn't expect the world court to take such a directly pro-american position to be perfectly honest kosovo is a much independent does manchukuo or vichy france was in world war two it's a puppet state it suffers from endemic corruption abuses of power is its government structure can be best described as a organized crime is not a state in any way shape or form just because the u.s. state department says it is a doesn't mean it is. in india the recent suicide of a thirteen year old boy who said to have taken his life after being repeatedly caned the school has reopened the debate about corporal punishment although outlawed the practice is still widely used but the cases are from parents who are demanding criminal charges for teachers who beat their pupils. this is one of india's worst kept secrets the prevalence of corporal punishment in school but the

recent suicide of a thirteen year old rival has brought the practice out into the open a student at the prestigious martin therefore boys' school in kolkata hanged himself a tall man earlier this year after being gained at school after spending months just in the school for answers his father has filed a police complaint against the three teachers he says roved think that they were after him for a long way lilah think he was so long as he was giving them individual. but if i may use the word he was able to take it but when they all descended on him at the same time that i don't think. i don't think his young mind could handle that much animosity. and humiliation and elimination from his friends the school's principal has admitted gaining ranjeet but says this was not responsible for his suicide the case has set off

a public outcry largely because it occurred in one of india's and most elite schools but most cases of corporal punishment take place in government run schools and go largely unrecorded ten year old monte is often beaten when he doesn't complete his homework on time. and not to the teacher and tries to teach us that when we don't learn she hates us and sometimes cry when i get hit in the child with a stick really doesn't solve any purpose one either the child would become too used to this kind for punishment and the effect would go off or else the child who's very sensitive and anxious by predisposition would feel very very vulnerable a supreme court judgment in two thousand prohibited corporal punishment in early films in india but would have it die hard many teachers and even some parents still believe in the need for discipline 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 or fifty children in the class teachers often resort to beating them to control their large numbers you hear words like or 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 with an inverted commas control the class or discipline but for one loving father there can be no arguments about corporal punishment there's a law against it there's no debate if you let people get your kids there will be a monster who will take out his frustrations on your child and you will not be able to save your child it's not open to discussion nobody has the right. nobody you god gave them to us to love not for some guy 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. you barely. hear ports across russia are honoring the country's navy in a major annual celebration held on the last sunday of july display of north who clouds also in the one ukraine to the home of russia's black sea fleet with thousands gathered to watch the spectacle at his country deserves that. 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 black sea fleet has existed and the locals here everybody here in the crimea views the black sea fleet as part of its history as integral to them as anything else concerning their city still thousands of people turned 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 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 those who have been stranded at sea various rescue operations various. military combat techniques were also on display for the crowds there 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. that this is sort of like

a fire fighter vessel which for this great specifically becomes a floating fountain and the people loved it everybody here it was very price 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 ca rest of it is what today is ninety. years exactly since that day that most of the russian white guard and the so-called russian into the russian elite and aristocrats 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 home search for a home and other countries and that is exactly what they did they left the port of

safaga and headed for turkey via 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 very significant of that somewhat somber day but of course a hugely significant day for the city here. in ukraine for us now a story from the week god so many of you will love his work top and rightly so with over sixty four thousand hits on you tube channel was in the walls of the plane one of the no none of those it was a donkey and images of attorney. drew the wrath of animal rights activists the world over but despite our nation's of cruelty the man responsible looks likely to

escape punishment. you may see or maybe even a simple fact that bitch may never see thank you for that. and you probably never would if it wasn't for a seaside p.r. stunt. sitting on the beach was your parachute go i couldn't quite figure it out myself or lakes nor of my own ice so i don't keep it was intended to attract only local customers to a water sports firm i don't russian black sea resort but it's quickly rippled out across the world maybe 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 a tragedy such an audience the donkey's owner decided he tries handed a different sport running taking the evidence the animal itself with an authority

is also questioned the watersports company called 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 vets report confirming the donkey's good hill 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 krause who archie. spot a showbiz news tonight another a russian american spy story seems to be unfolding this time on the big screen a hollywood star angelina johnnie's in moscow for the premiere of light his movie
