this is. with me alice habits one of britain's largest peace groups the coalition says the leak of files on the campaign in afghanistan is so embarrassing it could mark the beginning of the end of the war was posted online by whistleblower group. suggest the situation on the ground is a far cry from the official picture of the conflict they include the civilian deaths of coalition troops as well as concerns that. could be helping the taliban insurgency you gave these signs of a. kid find it hard to carry on. when to me. he was jailed for his refusal to find what he calls an on just war. this is the soldier who said no to the to be speaking out against the conflict one he calls illegal and unjustifiable his advice to the government. to simply.

people. with. you know to fall off the wagon which was the message which confusion. to public clinton joined the army in two thousand and four and fought for seven months in afghanistan he says he came home a changed man suffering symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder for which he claims he was bullied when he heard he was being said back to afghanistan from the army and didn't come back for two years initially his military superiors were understanding but when joe spoke at an antiwar rally in london they charges to desertion which carries a ten year prison sentence joe's mother says that exposes the hypocrisy of the conflict bringing democracy we've got freedom of speech we're fighting to introduce the lock somebody up to speak and. so on. page

a price for his outspokenness in the notorious military jail the glass house he thinks the reason it wasn't longer was to avoid a public outcry which could have brought on an examination of the war he served his time along with other soldiers who he says were with him all the way on the stand he'd taken. more support from fellow prisoners. and so much mildness. point when he was going to under two is fantastic so you know the only time i think of how long before the first. officer that i was directing was so much for the. jews become the poster boy for the stop the war coalition. with a hero's welcome following his release from prison for someone they consider brave and principled well i mean should have been punished at all he's saying what everyone believes and everyone knows the war is not just on winnable it's immoral it's causing defeat for the people of afghanistan more and more young british men

and women are being sent out to risk their lives for a war that only the politicians support and even in private they know it's a disaster joe blanton story is because it comes straight from the front line as do the ninety thousand documents released this week showing the varnas truths of a bloody conflicts and going by clinton's account of the support he received from other soldiers during his time in prison there is dissent inside the armed forces something the government could have a hard time ignoring nor emmett's artsy. parts of a controversial immigration law in the u.s. state of arizona which face down because asians of racism blogs will challenge the new legislation have been designed to make illegal immigration a crime and penalize anyone helping on documented workers but the judge dropped the crime past no crime and for him a. words to carry papers telling us the states government is valid to appeal but

changes course exhibit no will say violates people's freedom while the fund is only rowing's have nothing to do with it do not dissolve the spoke to some of those most likely to be effected by the book. as it is. doesn't sound like a typical immigration protest today i feel great a spirit of sky around oh my god everybody was so excited for a good run and yeah it was. that's because just one day before the law was to be enacted i think. that the harshest provisions i'm here celebrating with the community at our victory. were to be removed a celebration over one hundred long hot days in the making.

i know the boss didn't have much to celebrate and that i'm examiner assigned immigration law is rainy here every single day from five am. right but it wasn't always a lock down but some of the most controversial provisions. took a basic they got their prayers answered with we've been pretty you know every day twenty four hours a day this is taken over or our lives and right now this is the only issue we can work because there's so much demand for it and good right here we're we're directly on the brink of regret on the front lines of what is a national struggle and whenever there's a national struggle money has to be made here. now. where anyone can be a patriot belong to god. to stand in solidarity with america's immigrant population but although venter an activist jonah clearly is busy these days he's not very up. mr about the future the hispanic community

a lot of the emirates that are coming here are coming here to escape the political and economic systems that we created in their country they're coming here for for the ability to live to have crewed to have children to have what they need to take care of their families and they can't have that where they came from largely as a result of united states imperialism in their country a sentiment that was echoed by native born ad naturalized citizens alike blaming the very nation they would do anything to stay in this country is so criminal and its actions all over the world it has no right to tell one group of people not to cross borders when it's crossing illegally crossing borders and all over the world to bomb innocent people but most of these folks want to drop a different kind of bomb and not demand that the u.s. government listen to them they say we're all feeling. we all have come here for a better future with it'll be the first step we have to continue making their voice

heard in our presence you know dina the soft archie phoenix arizona. since i had. the legs in our clegg's film series because in the center of russia's finance industry at this point being placed a deep instance. the heat wave in the russian capital is breaking records with temperatures approaching forty degrees celsius for nine days running when it's been made worse by the home for small caused by both fires which is the city when i speak you go to norfolk in the mosque a region near those fires for us we want any sign that the fire is being under control now. difficult to say but it is a fact that fires have spread while across moscow region and scores of firefighters are being sent to fight these blazes every day but their efforts are being hampered

by the sixteen the hot and dry weather and we've been told that the amount of fires this year has already exceed last year's fires by two times and the total area of these fires is twelve times bigger than in two thousand and nine and this includes both forest fires and peak fires especially which are really tricky because they can go on for months deep underground in temperatures reaching eight hundred degrees celsius and then when it's hot and dry enough on the surface they can emerge and firefighters see that they constantly see new sources of fire new sources of smoke as b. are fighting the current ways or their efforts are also being hampered by water shortages which is a bit which have been also caused by this heat and the dry weather many lakes and many springs subsequently evaporated and told us that they often have to build

special pipe systems to do it with water from as far as nine kilometers away to the fire and i can tell you that it's. unlikely that they're going to be able to extinguish all of these fires so long as this extremely hot and dry weather continues but even as you've been saying this home weather is making it a real challenge for firefighters in the city say wolf the ball calls line for the weekend any good news on the way. weather forecasts for a few signs of hope because this heat wave has been continuing for weeks now with temperatures seeing a well over the thirty degree celsius mark and forecast to do say that the temperatures make cool down a little bit during the weekend with me even see a little bit of rain but they say also that it's paleo lately that the heat is and dry weather is going to return next week of course this the heat meaning plus the smoke and especially the fumes in big cities create really difficult and dangerous

living conditions. there are two major risks one is the risk of the hydra taishan because we saw it with those flood waters water so we have to take a lot of fluids and the best thing is to drink water about three to four interest every day if there is no obvious heart disease or permanent or disease that also would have to take salts because we were assaulted with this route so we sure did sell to prove that so sure that some salt of the world and smoke of course itself is also dangerous but there's a lot of. products for a fire on board a car going to one of the side and other types of products so sure there were open spaces. people living in the areas affected by the small hand the huge trying to do anything to to cope with these conditions drinking a lot of water there are actually month long queues for air conditioning only in moscow many people are trying to leave the city thinking that the outdoors may the

conditions in the outdoors may be a little bit better but as you can see around me and i'm now around ninety can. the conditions here in the situation here is not much better. than many thanks that update that was all good it was going on for fortune for the oscar rouge and for. all those concerned that explosive chemicals carried by floodwaters into china will revoke. barrels holding it before the finals and tons of chemicals reach the subsidiary of mood river from a plant in northern china they're expected to reach russian territory in a week but so far there's no indication that they're leaking and retrieval efforts are underway well moscow has. been made about what happened a one hundred ton. five years ago nearly caused a manmade catastrophe. dot com has many more stories of course future anytime you

and today we're just two hundred kilometers away from moscow indeed luger region the center of russian science and industry with the country's largest scientific research complex develops high tech advances in engineering and electronics but the region could also base a flourishing car industry with giants like volvo and both having their joint ventures in. the number of cars assembled by grays every year providing jobs proposals company has met some expands he find the commuter region a good place to visit. for a long time collagen has been primarily associated with. a maverick scientists from the end of the last century go on and work on rockets the region was dropped big crater astronautics but what is good transportation links to the capital that with a population of just over a million people the region has definitely room to grow today colloquies want to rush those hotspots for foreign investment we met some of the exports managers

working here to find out home. they do that business and cope with every day lives here. renate may be afraid of horses but she's not afraid of horse power every day she handles one hundred forty and her husband harold drives just as many the two work of the full tree and were among the first expanse to settle down in color. the only brazilian calder everywhere i go and i say i'm from brazil of course i get this cheery people talk about football and bailey so it's always positive maybe in such a big city like moscow you are just one more in a crowd and here you stand out especially as a foreigner we are talking as a foreigner here we're not a herald certainly turned hats locally when they drove the german car giants first fully russian made vehicle the production line russians prague or of

russia of being russian at the same time we see these reserve asian towards products made in russia so we work on that everybody. has the same quality as we used to form germany from czechia become penny was an early bird to place its bets on the region bets worth one billion dollars on seven hundred ten as a build a whole industrial park something which would be unlikely closer to moscow juta higher costs are becoming a cause will halt on their tail lights today it is home to bobo peugeot citroen and renault just recently is still stamping factory was open and now it caters for all folks margins car parts this is not just the biggest german investment in buffalo but also an example of what a life asian it is no longer just

a car assembly as it was four years ago these cars. parts are built with russian hands and ultimately they'll be built what the russians do you. i'm like renata and harold well desegregate was born in cali but in a way he also stands out from his three thousand chorley he was recruited from a local orphanage frequently out of work says he's now driven to succeed but i want to stay and work here if they give me a chance to grow i would like to become a foreman and ultimately a manager i see perspectives from reference to more and more companies are opening up in the region. not he was behind the idea to employ to set up a women's club in kabul which among other projects to patronage of local orphanage is government does a lot and also private. but after eighteen years old they are on the streets and what can we do so if we give clothes one day it's worn out so we thought that.

beginning a project there it's not about giving money or giving things but giving an opportunity for them to grow so does learning german in the hope that one day he will land his dream job eager to work and give something back to those that gave him a hand when he most needed it to do a virtue of r r t. ok that is the way the news is with our hero or to go away they do come way down here so let's get busy and i've got some news that air traffic numbers of recent new heights hello that's right traffic across the world has now risen higher than their pre-crisis levels up twelve percent in june with the fastest growth coming from asia we'll have the details later in the program but first the. stakes in three venezuelan projects it was russian joint venture. according to bloomberg british petroleum has raised the matter in a letter to

a venezuelan state run oil company with which it george. assets value has not yet been confirmed but the times newspaper puts it at one of billion dollars the oil giant plans to sell up to thirty billion dollars worth of assets across the world after suffering heavy losses in the gulf of mexico disaster over the former head of be paid tony hayward who become a director at tink a b.p. well not the cells man for b.p. the head of a always representing k.b.p.s. russian shareholders denied media reports that hayward would help to offload b.p.'s that. is totally incorrect and unsubstantiated in fact. he looks to acquire assets from b.p. the directors from b.p. have to recuse themselves from any deliberation discussion of the transaction because they are conflicted and would not be entitled to hold as a board contemplates recommendations that we may or may not get from to b.p.

management to acquire so that's stalling correct but i think he could be very helpful in thinking about passes a chink a b.p. could acquire from other companies the russian government has reduced the number of comes from what is said to be the biggest profit as ation in the country in fifteen years causing the state railways operator mortgage agency from the list eleven companies are being prepared for sale with the aim of raising at least thirty billion dollars to help plug the budget deficit in a timid vetiver reports. if you want some of the russia's blue chips well general snifter say the largest banks bear bank now is the time the government is considering selling my noid to stakes in eleven of russia's leading companies some call it the biggest privatization since the ninety's but it's not yet clear which wires to government will target therefore we're talking about. minorities and this is much different from what we have seen in russia taking place in the

ninety's or prove it is asian in. general usual when we're talking about truth they should with some salespersons for strategic investors so i think that in russia's case now we're really talking wild government convention to increase fleet pre-flood of the state of companies only months ago some said russia no longer deserved its position as a leading emerging market and you inflow of foreign investment could change that perception but the government has work to do before it can sell some of those companies some state monopoly are known to be unfriendly to individual investors others are simply too big to be easily sold to talk about the large states like ross nafs are. probably of course going to be on more of. a large stake so it's. some effort on the government from a serious effort or. from the companies make them for investors

to sell them at. a fair price the pricing of the assets and the timetable are unclear the government initially suggested thirty billion dollars over three years and really see the government has a choice it can sell quick and cheap but to get the best pricing cover the budget deficit the privatization could stretch over several years they may be a business archie. time now take a look at how the markets are doing in moscow both the forces. making ground this hour climbing more than one percent energy stocks are leading their vols transistors up more than six percent in my stocks this hour as also gains in europe as investors welcome results from some of the regions of biggest companies and a busy day for corporate news and grey swedish problems to school company astra zeneca has climbed four point nine percent after the second quarter profits rose and increased its share buyback. russia's truck may come up has cut its losses by
