amid the disinterest 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 in which the cheering and sank 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. that was foreign policy analyst stephen gowans and we also spoke to peter rozen from the diplomatic academy of the russian foreign ministry and he believes that despite the high tensions on the korean peninsula this little chunks an armed conflict could bring out. both north and south korea perspective look at 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 world he would resign or be a nuclear not. there's plenty more for you here and i'll see coming up later in the in the program our reporter arizona's controversial immigration law. between stays and federal lawmakers heats up after the governor i announce as plans to appeal a court decision to strike down parts of the legislation.

british antiwar activists are claiming the massive leak of u.s. military documents in afghanistan is signed to get out of the country and marks the beginning of the end of international intervention in the water and country the files posted online by wiki leaks so just the situation on the ground is far from the official picture being nineteen thousand pages details civilian deaths at their 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. lower and that's a matter for a british soldier whose refusal to fight cost him his freedom. this is the soldier who said no to the speaking out against the conflict one he called it illegal and unjustifiable his advice to the government also i would say listen to people just simply as. people in the morning with. these conflicts. you know

the call of will to fall off the wagon which was the message which confusion the storm just want to start listening 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 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 upped his charges to desertion which carries a ten year prison sentence joe's mother says that exposes the hip. kristie if the conflict bringing democracy we've got freedom of speech we're fighting to introduce it just understand in the middle of some deep speaking of optimism clinton 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 the terms of god 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 underlies a dime it was fantastic so you know the only time i think a fellow along for the first. off the bat. breaking off so much for the. jury has become the poster boy for the stop the war coalition thank you is welcome following his release from prison someone they consider a brave and principled well i mean should not be 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 disaster it's causing time strophe 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 ok because it comes straight from the front line as do the ninety thousand documents released this week showing the varnas truths of a bloody complex and going by clinton's account of the support he received from other soldiers during his time in prison there is just sense inside the armed forces something the government could have a hard time making nor nor emmett's r.t. . also talked to a former member of the german parliament kneels annan says the wiki leaks disclosure has revealed nothing new about the afghan. you have to see that those people who have been against the war in the first place they just had a field day but if you get a closer look at those documents i mean it has been a huge amount of documents or so that public hasn't had a chance to see them all but if you look at them it's nothing really new so i sing

for those people who have been following the afghanistan debate and have been following closely what has been happening in afghanistan there's not much disclosure about so we could leak. scandal so to say it's a really concerning problem for mr obama is that it is and then bear is seeing situation to have such a huge security leak and you can already see that support within his own democratic party for the boy's deteriorating he had been in need of a republican vote to support a war to relation. law in the last week so i sayings that it is affecting public mood but it's not really something spectacular new to the debate coming your way as our report on the dangers of the right home breaking temperatures of this summer in russia. from the experts on how to stay cool when it's too hot.

arizona's governor plans to appeal against a federal ruling that scares this state's controversial new immigration law the decision to revoke parts of the legislation came just hours before it came into force and for more on this. hour is a. the moment what we were seeing just a few hours ago were a lot of protesters on the streets there were a lot of police 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 nice district court and most likely the supreme court but that's not stopping the protesters here on the street we had a word that they're about thirteen buses coming from from los angeles from the air they 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 it can be very interesting to see what happens and just moments ago we had six individuals blocking the office of the quote unquote top is 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 at this would be the extension of the town city what sort of serve for those people captured after today after july twenty ninth when the law is actually going into action. i have got plenty more to keep you occupied on our website and it's time for extras on the stories we're covering and plenty of features that only to the regular program and here's a quick test taste of what's on all those who don't have right. ice skating in the summer find some muscovites like dancing craze of about couldn't.

understand the subject of films and books but we'll find that sold one hundred year old mystery just what happened to a doomed russian expedition to the oxygen in the world. several thousand barrels of highly dangerous chemicals are heading towards russia of to being washed into everybody loves a northeastern china officials say they could reach the border within a week oh that's i don't know the. old happened in a chinese province on the north east of the country in a subsidiary river 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 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 deal with the consequences of a natural disaster caused by china back in two thousand and five one hundred songs

of benzene froome from china through the same waters passing by some major russian far east in c.t. such as how bought a scan the someone is 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 the region there around they are more river is surrounded by many reservations where a very rare animal 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 are there first line 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. course small be 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 more ter called and temperature

resistance for other substances so they are both quite toxic and if it is indeed the case that the barrels reach russian waters and there is leakage than of course there was going to be a big threat for russia and the nature of the russians and the nature in the region . novikov reporting on journalists demitra babich from russia profile magazine told all see chinese industrial incidents like this are affecting the country's relations with russia. is there is a lot of discontent in russia and the russian government. environmental disaster so their spiel of russian territory from china is not the first such a cure and so we've had similar situations before and every time there was a broad role with information the chinese government is very unwilling to share information with its own citizens and with russian authorities also let's hope that the problem will be resolved on the chinese government will share with our small

appropriate information the same thing happened three years ago again it was a rework toxic waste that was the spilled into a river and russia has enormous problems with that due to the nature of chinese state that cannot be changed in a few years. now that's how i look at some other stories making news around the world people have been confirmed dead in the democratic republic of congo after a boat capsized tranche they happened on the everybody in the west of the country rescue workers a century and for dozens who are still missing officials say the boat was overloaded with congo passengers. a french mother has been charged with killing eight of her newborn babies she has admitted to the crime dominate trade as husband has been freed without charge police were alerted after the new owners of a house the couple had lived and found bones buried in the garden the borders of infants wrapped in plastic were eventually discovered there at the couple's current

home. then president of haiti wave sweeping russia continues unabated it was july already the hottest month on record and as a result of the hate both flies meanwhile school is now in thick small also easy going off 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 shorties or 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 myth which have been also caused by this heat and the dry weather many lakes and many springs have simply evaporated and stories have 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 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 me 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 meaning the small and especially the rooms in big

cities really difficult and dangerous living conditions we're sure they're worried that open sun because this sun is also dangerous for the homes for the skin that it increases the body temperature and smoke of course itself is also of interest but there's also for the products. fire onboard with cardboard 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. that brings you up to date this hour up next also his point to see it talks to agent of the israeli secret service mossad about his days hunting nazi war

criminals and he also shared his opinion on what president of volman needs to do about iran and how is your old car subtle its differences with palestinians that's coming up shortly. with me i have roughly a ton a former agent of the israeli secret service the mossad and the chairman of the national council for jewish restitution misstate and thank you very much for

joining us here on r.t. only this year 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 the. dialogue. easy able to. wean iran by dialogue i say no they are writing in a cheating game all the time now we's facing in and understanding that iran is the pushing tell or pushing with hizbullah pushing their all with hamas pushing their all 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 there 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 iran he went volved an israeli operation to take nothing 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 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 sanctions way if it's done. if everybody is taking part. including russia i states including russia including china if that's will happen iran will give up one of the former israeli prime ministers menachem begin appointed you as a top adviser on counterterrorism didn't think that as well sufficiently well enough with the problem of terror particularly in the years after the into find look we had the beni 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 some maria. 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. 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 the capture i mean for the state of israel you see the holocaust survivors the right to israel they did talk and when i. tried. it was on the air and every every evening you heard from the news what happened in the trial and the news there were full of stories so the heart was open and they started talking they started how could they. as they say them saying leave 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 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 a mail say in the anywhere in the world in very quick time and if you do it wisely nobody could know about it so times technology changing mr rafi attend thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. thank you. every month we give you the future we help you understand how we'll get there and what

tomorrow brings the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world to join us for technology update on our g. p's soon which brightened if you knew me about sun moon from finest impressions. moves from stone totty dot com. they faced it this is not a pro magician but more of. a force it should be first step is what you should support retreat speaks of they have no idea about the hardships to face. one it is this is it all too new to me for any army to the life of the usaf is the most precious thing in
