to stop them crossing into russian territory now this is close happen with the flooding that's happening in china and the worst flooding that china has seen familia decades and this close around seventy thousand barrels of the water coming out of the chemical storage facility into the still river and around four thousand and we've heard reports. of three thousand containing this chemical substance the clean up operation now well underway concerns on both sides of this day about the potential environmental impact where any of these chemical substances leaked into the water say based sites monitoring this cleanup operation a very closely indeed not the kind of people under the chinese side confirms the accident and said that those soldiers are taking all necessary measures several teams are connecting the barrels along with or who are river they're also monitoring the environment in the region so far no changes in the will to prove to have been detected at the same time russian specialists have registered no changes in the water quality for the past several days in the two nearest region has risen

additional around the clock water quality monitoring of their moreover under the present there is no health risk for the people living in the area accident is under the control of the regional and local centers of the emergency ministry who we've heard that is posing no immediate threat to people's lives or health sciences have warned that the substances that are contained in some of these barrels of potentially potentially dangerous chemical substances and we've heard one of these substances is a clear flammable substance that if it comes into contact with human or animal skin would cause bird a so obviously there are concerns about those leaking now the chinese authorities again have said that the barrels that are in the water all leak free so it's certainly hope that that won't happen it's not the first time a situation like this is occurred in two thousand and five a chemical spill saw millions of people in china cut off from the. supply you know

when this incident happened there was some panic amongst chinese people buying up was concerned that that would happen again and in fact the authorities. briefly in china it's not certain whether that was the maintenance or whether that was a response to the incident happening as you said the cleanup operation now underway and everyone just watching that happening hoping hoping oversee that no further damage is caused from this situation. first reporting there another month long heat wave being experienced in russia has caused the struck the forest fires that have burned down hundreds of homes in central parts of the country there have been reports of casualties in several regions of prime minister was an important and they have emergencies ministry so you show you are in the region of one of the worst hit areas specialist aircraft have been deployed there to battle wildfires strong winds have been fanning the flames forcing villages summer camps and hospitals to be evacuated over six hundred characters or forest have caught fire

across the country this week and that looks likely to increase. germany's national conscience is wrestling with the idea of keeping potential re offenders under lock and key even if even after the are sad and says rob so cold preventive detention has drawn wrath from a european human rights watchdog this means potentially dangerous individuals could soon be back in the community parties dumbarton reports. shifty glances and nervous as that's all we managed to see walter age a murderer and sex offender now living in the german city of sob he's got it all day every day by at least four policemen but he's escaped from his mind as before and locals are worried he'll do it again and seeing it is very dangerous for the people. in the area because they don't know that such people. such people as this close to them believe that the security and security of the.

environment is a bigger. good. has probably all of. these things from the prison no money if you work in this building there's no police but there's since he's living here there's all the day police all the people in town are talking about. and knowing all the people that want him to be here because there is a school next door and there's a kindergarten. mr eight should still be in prison under germany's policy of preventive detention it was designed to keep offenders like him behind bars even after a sentence was served because they were still deemed a danger to the public but it was a policy that fell foul of the european court of human rights which ruled the practice unlawful the german government argued it worked and defended it to the end it's get pushed into failing of course there's a danger there to convict could stay in preventive detention for the rest of his life but to avoid the situation we have frequent specialist checks to assess their

condition and he paedophile campaigner thomas brookman opposes preventive detention that's because he wants longer sentences in the first place. last year another sex offender not given preventive detention was released back into his community a move that still causes angry protests today now these fears of being replicated across germany got to be a few of these criminals will repeat such crimes again that's the worst thing that could happen and it probably will happen because they weren't put away others also think the new arrangements are less than satisfactory it costs far more to keep offenders under guard in the community than the hind bars the german newspaper billed put the figure at twelve thousand euros a day compared to one hundred a day in prison a large price to pay when lawyers argue it hardly provides the freedoms of daily life if he goes into a shop and there's always two people following him if he goes to adopt two people

next to him and that's that's impossible to have a normal life michael raper is now fighting for greater freedoms mr h. the criminals right serve little worry to most germans anxious about the safety of their own families people who are concerned about this man in their midst but it's estimated there could be be some over two hundred twenty dangerous criminals released soon across germany was that might these conferences in strasburg doesn't ease anyone's nerves here martin r.t. germany. coming up this hour here in r.t.e. arizona's governor appealed against kurds to a controversial immigration law which is still driving protesters onto the streets . yeah i mean the pioneers of russian be forced to make a killing in our close of theories. the impact of the b.p. oil spill in the gulf of mexico has been as damaging to the firm's finances as it

has to the environment the crisis has forced b.p. c.e.o. to step down broad seventeen billion dollars in losses already and force the sale of assets to pay for the. cleanup and compensation claims there is now some debate over just how bad the environmental impact will be and some scientists believe the effects will be felt for decades while there's some evidence that the week has been clearing from the surface of the water much faster than expected time magazine's michael brown well thanks exaggerating the damage is a way for some to promote their individual agendas. just about everybody has called this the worst environmental disaster u.s. has ever faced and i went down to louisiana last week. assuming that they were right there just doesn't seem to be a lot of evidence for that one of the scientists i talked to this is like a sunburn on a cancer patient so we don't know what we don't know and the long term impacts are

certainly impossible to know right now but there's not much evidence that an environmental catastrophes you know the media has an obvious interest in kind of hyping these things to drive ratings and certain politicians are using it to attack obama some politicians were using it to you know to try to promote the idea that we need to get away from fossil fuels but nobody really has you know that much of a of an incentive to say well hey you know the data doesn't really seem to show that this is as much as it's been cracked up to be a what's important is looking looking at the data you know i'm getting i'm getting a lot of heat a lot of backlash people are saying like this is crazy how can you make these premature judgments we have no idea what the future is going to hold we have no idea what the impacts going to be my response is oh now you tell us the last three months you've been telling us this is the biggest environmental disaster in history and now you're saying we have no idea what's going to happen so i guess i'm trying to put a little bit of lid on some of the hype. that was michael grunwald senior correspondent

at time magazine joining us from miami herald here. and still look on for you here the sour on our team at the right to kill artie delves into the revolution that ripped apart care to stand. it's provided citizens with. it's a. tough sell to. win the game. boy. right. out of the killing and. stay with us and watch that full report in twenty minutes time here on r.t.e. . arizona's governor is appealing in a federal ruling that curb the state's controversial new immigration law parts of the legislation such as forcing immigrants to carry papers at all times were

revoked just hours before they came into force but that didn't stop protesters from venting their anger artie's during a soft reports. 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 the outlaw 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 hour are not over this is a long road ahead you're going to see it go to the knife 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 ebay 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. how responding to saucy reporting from the us there and our website has a lot more to offer you whenever you want to hear some of what's online right now at r.t. dot com. russian police detain a man attempting to hijack a plane at

just a short ride southwest of moscow wired a fruitful way ends of a collective region hector's of fields make for great farming in agriculture however grasslands are often used and left for decades without receding that's why a few years ago sorties decided exporting meat was the answer now with the help of american cattle breeders the region hopes to supply a whole country with stakes argues that we were trying to map the pioneers of beef . for tourists so you are going to escape the crowd and wander off the beaten track they got a little girl region could be just the ticket well it's close to the capital only a few kilometers south of there is planted to see here first of all it's a fantastic natural sighting to may reverse this not and that cop provide beautiful scenery especially in the summer and an alternative route for tourists well it's

hello and welcome to the business program here on r.t. they say all secrets come to light russia's president hamid she read a bit of a signed a law preventing insider trading the new law clarifies and defined such concepts as insider information market manipulation and all of those insider trading is offense in most financial centers but until now the law has never passed the first hearing in russia and it won't take effect immediately the rules come into force six months after publication the government says it will offload shares in state companies even if the budget doesn't need the money is announced it will sell eight major companies which is fewer than expected and the earliest date for a sale be next year the economic development minister said privatization will help build a competitive economy but the would you just go to. these would be fairly big companies possibly banks partially our companies from the fuel and energy sector privatization will be means not you need the truck to many into the budget which is

very important but it's also wave influencing the structure of the economy in the current levy government has an excessive growth in some of the sectors where the government share is quite big we're interested encouraging more competition what's the private sector. which is in more smaller companies may prove attractive to individual investors but some analysts believe the government will have to work hard to calm their fears of renationalisation. in some says it doesn't come across as a true privatization it's only partial however government has indicated that there are over five thousand companies that they are willing to sell now most of these companies own much smaller a day and not of strategic importance or limited strategic importance and i believe in most of these cases the fleet will be full pro taxation renationalisation fear is probably one of the big east obstacles for foreign investors and venturing

russia there is the fear of their wells the government feels more confident that they really resort to so-called crippling nationalization when they used to regularly to rebuild to force the foreign investors out and indeed there is these danger to the government needs to provide to investment protection to make this deforming best there's arabic and very that if they vest and if they have a conflict with the state and they decide to take the case to court the court the judicial system which would largely really need to be and probably signed with the state so the fear of nationalization is there and the state has to take some steps to provide guarantees that it will not have. time we'll take a look at how the markets are doing in here in moscow both the forces of palling elsewhere in global trends in the markets neurosurgical is leading the decline on
