a government that is interested in peaceful coexistence with north korea it's a is to see the collapse of north korea and its absorption into the south. it's also suspicious that the south korean government's report was released on the eve of gubernatorial and local elections the opposition parties have found that to be rather suspicious there's also the case that. the idea that a north korean submarine could have been operating in the shallow waters which the cheering and saying is incredible that in fact the former chief of naval staff of south korea in the days immediately following the sinking brought this to the attention of south koreans he said it's impossible to think that a north korean submarine was operating in those waters it's just not the kind of waters in which any submarine can operate so the russian naval report is consistent with what a lot of people in south korea believe which is that north korea hasn't been

responsible for this thinking. and that was foreign policy analysts stephen gallons we also spoke to people has been from the diplomatic academy of the russian foreign ministry and he believes that despite the high tensions on the korean peninsula there is little chance of conflict could break out. both north and south korean perspective of a war as mutually assured destruction if a conflict were to run the korean peninsula would be economically devastating decides neighboring china has no interest in a war on its borders either nuclear or not. well there's plenty more for you here on our t.v. coming up later in the hour report on arizona's controversial immigration law. the battle between state and federal lawmakers to the governor announces plans to appeal a court decision to strike down parts of the legislation. but first

british antiwar activists are claiming the massive leak of u.s. military documents on afghanistan is a sign to get out of the country and marks the beginning of the end of international intervention in the water one country the files posted online by wiki leaks suggest the situation on the ground is far from the official picture nine hundred thousand pages details civilian deaths at the hands of nato troops as well as concerns pakistani intelligence could be helping the taliban calls to end the war now growing louder in many countries including the u.k. . it's not a former british soldier who's refusal to fight cost him his freedom. this is the soldier who said no to speaking out against the conflict what he calls illegal and unjustifiable his advice to the government so i would say listen to simply. the morning with. this conflict. you know fall off the wagon which was

the message which spin cycle fusion the. two 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 which he claims he was bullied when he heard he was being sent back to afghanistan did 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. charges to desertion which carries a ten year prison sentence. that exposes the hypocrisy of the conflict going into. we've got freedom of speech we're fighting going to do shit just going to stand in the middle of some deep speaking of. the missing intern paid 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 will with him all the way on the stand he taken some cigars around the train was unbelievable i was so much support from from my fellow prisoners it was fantastic and so much mildness one point when it was going to under the done it was fantastic so you know the only time i think a fellow along for the first. and also that i still reckon was so much more trying to do is become the poster boy for the stop the war coalition. with you is welcome following his release from prison 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 a. tax defeat for the people of afghanistan a 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 k 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 this sense inside the armed forces something the government could have a hard time ignoring nor emmett's artsy. well there coming our way here in r.t. as our report on the dangers of the record breaking temperatures of this summer here in russia is all the tip experts on how to stay cool in the countries what it's month on record. the first arizona's governor plans to appeal against a federal ruling that skirt the state's controversial new immigration law the decision to revoke parts of the legislation came just hours before it came into force well for more on this here's. from arizona. moment what we were seeing just

a few hours ago were a lot of protesters on the street there were a lot of what they were doing was practicing something called civil disobedience where they were basically getting arrested on purpose in order to get their message heard now what happened yesterday was the judge ruled that certain controversial provisions in ballot law would not be enacted today so it was just a small victory for the hispanic community but they said that they have a long fight ahead of them now critics of the law say that those provisions which basically say about police officers can stop anyone that they suspect is in this country illegally they say that it would lead to racial profiling and they're saying they don't want their state their state of arizona to become a nazi state so what you saw was it was banners with swastikas on there too to have people realize that they feel that if this were to be enacted in its entirety that it would lead to a nazi state here in arizona and perhaps all across the country the legal troubles

of this are not over this is a long road ahead you're going to see it go to the ninth district court and most likely the supreme court but that's not stopping the protesters here on the street we had word that there are about thirteen buses coming from from los angeles from the m.b.a. area all over california here in arizona people want to protest here and say that they don't want anything like this and acted in their states because let's not forget at least twenty other states are considering similar legislation that can be very interesting to see what happens and just moments ago we had six individuals blocking the office of the quote unquote tough the sheriff in america sheriff arpaio is a very controversial figure here in arizona he is definitely a villain to some and a hero to others so you had six people they were blocking his office as a show of both solidarity and also protest. again some of the things he's doing now

just a week ago marked the seventeenth anniversary of something called the tent city which is basically an extension of the maricopa county jail and the sheriff sort of boasted with a lot of pride that this would be the extension of the city what sort of people captured after today after july twenty ninth when the law is actually going into action here. talking to me a little and we've got plenty more to keep you occupied on our website it's just not on any time for extras on the stories we're covering at the moment. in our regular programming. is a quick tell you. right now in the summer you can find out how some muscovites are getting creative about. and it's been the subject of films and books but will new clues hundred year old mystery just what happened to a doomed russian expedition to the arctic in.

several thousand barrels of highly dangerous chemicals are heading towards russia off to being washed into a river by floods in north eastern china officials say they could reach the border within a week. the latest. old happened in a chinese province on the north east of a country. in the river which is a subsidiary to the river which connects russia and china and right now those barrels are heading to russia very quickly according to the estimations they could reach russian waters by the fourth of august which is less which is in less than a week russian emergency services however a saying that there is no information yet about whether there has been any leakage of chemicals out of those barrels but russian authorities have already do monday

the assessment so potentially environmental consequences of this from the from china china is promising that there will be no natural catastrophe but in the past twenty four hours after the barrels were washed into the water only four hundred of them out of seven thousand were taken out of the water but the chinese are saying that only three thousand over them contains chemicals and the other four thousand were completely harmless however this is not the first time that russia might have to do with the consequences of a natural disaster caused by china back in two thousand and five one hundred songs of benzene swarm froome from china through the same waters passing by some major russian far east in cities such as how bought us in the come some was going on with the chemicals in the barrels a very toxic if they're not taking out of the water and if they're easy linkage they will be dangerous for both the nature of humans and the wildlife because the

area of the region there around there are more river is surrounded by many reservations where very rare animals such as the onward so i go for example leave as for the chemicals themselves there are two kinds of chemicals that we know of that there is there first kind is the liquid substance that is see through that is looks completely pure but has a very toxic smell and boils in very low temperatures and because the. small beef kept in humid conditions and see deer burns for people or animals and the second kind is a substance that is that is used to increase cooled and temperature resistance for other substances so they're both quite toxic and if it is indeed the case that the barrels reach russian waters and there is leakage then of course there was going to be a big threat for russia and the. russians and the nature in the region. reporting

journalist dimitri babich from russia profile magazine told you that chinese industrial instance like this one are affecting the country's relations with russia . obviously there is a lot of discontent in russia and in russian government. environmental disaster so that spiel into russian territory from china it's not the first such a cure and so we've had similar situations before and every time there was a brawl with information train years ago a month is very unwilling to share information with its own citizens and with russian authorities also let's hope that the problem will be resolved and the chinese government will share with our small interoperate information the same thing happened three years ago again it was a rebirth toxic waste was spilled into. enormous problems with out to the nature of chinese state that cannot be changed in a few years when the time for some other stories making headlines around the world

at this stage of the day authorities say one hundred forty people died in the democratic republic of congo after a boat capsized the tragedy happened on the river in the west of the country and rescue workers are searching for dozens who are still missing officials say the boat was overloaded with cargo and passengers. a french mother has been charged with killing eight of her newborn babies she's admitted to the crime dominique husband has been freed without charge police were alerted after the new owners of a house the couple that lived in found bones buried in the garden the bodies of infants wrapped in plastic were eventually discovered there and the couple's current home. the unprecedented heat wave sweeping russia continues unabated with july already the hottest month on record as a result of the heat moskos now choking in six more. reports now from the heart of the problem. fires have spread well across the 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 n.p. 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 firefighter see that the consul even see new sources of fire new sources of smoke as they are fighting their current ways or their efforts are also being hampered by the water shortages which is a bit which have been also caused by this heat and the dry weather many lakes and many springs have simply evaporated in forty six told us that they often have to build

special pipes systems to do it with water from as far as nine kilometers away to the fire and i can tell you that it's highly unlikely that they're going to be able to extinguish all of these fires so long as this extremely hot and dry weather continues and forecast you do see that the temperatures make cool down a little bit during the weekend we need even see a little bit of rain but they say also that dry weather is going to return next week of course with this heat meeting the small and especially the rooms in big cities really difficult and dangerous living conditions we're sure they're worried that open source because this sun is also the injuries for the homes for the skin and it increases the body temperature and smoke of course itself is there are so dangerous but there's a role for for our products and for. fire onboard will come out of 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 meaning people are trying to leave the city thinking that the conditions in the outdoors may be a little bit better but as you can see around me and i'm now around ninety kilometers away from moscow the conditions here in the situation here is not that much better. reporting there will that brings you up today to eighteen minutes past the hour here in the russian capital next we have for you paula samir talking to a former agent of the israeli secret service mossad about his days hunting nazi war criminals he also shared with his opinion on what president obama needs to do about iran and how israel can settle its differences with palestinians that interview coming up shortly on r.t. stay with us.

what i have. a former agent of the israeli secret service the mossad and the chairman of the national council for jewish restitution thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. only you said that in principle when there is a war on terror you conducted without principles you simply fighters in light of this how do you assess the current defense strategy of the american president

barack obama. failed from the very beginning. izzie able to. wean iran by dialogue i say no they are running in a cheating game all the time now we facing in and understanding it iran is the pushing tell or pushing their all with hizbullah pushing tel with hamas pushing tel in iraq the shia in iraq is in practice today. in the end of the iranian i would say that we are facing. when the americans will leave iraq we are facing that iran through the shia of

iraq will win maybe i will dominate at least part of iraq some people say that today there is some. agreement between iran and peggy that turkish will dominate their no than part of iraq. including the colds and the iranian the south part of iraq included back that what do you think should be done with the van he went volved an israeli operation to take out the iraqi nuclear reactor in one thousand nine hundred one do you think that a similar operation is feasible in iran today the situation today and this is regime even five years ago was completely different because iran from the very

beginning developed few sites let's say more or less fifteen or twenty sites and not one side and from the very beginning they defended themselves in a way the one strike it's not enough so in practice the their way that was done. and he knows iraq twenty years ago twenty five years ago. is no valid today and the only way is the. first political way and second sanctions way sanction way if it's done correctly if everybody is taking part. including russia i states including russia including china if that's really bad

pen iran will give up one of the former israeli prime ministers appointed you as a top adviser on counterterrorism team think that is well don't sufficiently well enough with the problem of terror particularly in the years after the interview and look we had there been any failures let's start from this we had many failures but we had also success today. look today. the hamas from gaza in practice stopped most of the divinity a jew then summary. our security is strong and therefore no tel or activity in practice on the bottom line we want can these measures continue indefinitely

no no impossible we have to find a practical solution and to my opinion the. the palestinian authority of today is not able to sign us a real agreement they are not able because of the hamas and because of the pushing of the iranian we must to my opinion to go to some one sided solution to go we did one sided solution to go to the americans to agree with the american the borders of their one sided solution. to try to coordinate it with the palestinian authority but to move and to do it you let the team that captured alpha when what was the most difficult part of this operation well it was not difficult it was

easy of perforation. it's a fact of life. i have done much more complicated or variations at the time that was the possibility to also capture the auschwitz doctor dr joseph mengele but you personally witold against doing this is this now a decision you request no i don't regret because that was the. operational consideration i thought that we had. in our hands and if we are going to do another. project at the same time when then at the end then we risk the first operation what if they capture i mean for the state of israel you see the whole cast survivors

the right to israel they did talk and when i smile and trial. it was on the air every every evening you have from the news what happened in the trial and the news there were full of stories so their heart was open and they started talking they started how could they. as they say them saying live again recently the mossad was back in the headlines with allegations of falsifying passports and by do you think that they were going to zation is still the same organization it was when you were involved. look. their ability for agents to communicate with their. headquarters is much much better today today you could. buy
