but it was impossible so we still see to move things everything you police unfortunately you still do still leave. it's not scary no scary is when you see before this was hard to get over now we know that it's not just burnish their suffering nation of course another region all in all since the heat wave began around twenty two thousand fires have been reported to started and emergency services and fire services really finding this question total to do with they've had a lot of help from volunteers in the last hour or so you seem quite see helicopters going above collecting water to take the across land that's been catching fire again about twenty kilometers from the village where we are now on very concerned to ensure that there's no more devastation like this village it must love to have at the moment what forecasters are saying is that the heat is set to continue at least for the next week or so they're saying we could see more of these incredibly

high temperatures we saw last week record breaking temperatures now versus not only used to hope weather in the summer but this is the hottest it's even the most severe drought in nearly three decades and this really left the land sleepy dry and very very well as we've seen the devastating fires that was are you sir for reporting there now for more on the health risks of the heat and join the doctor and deputy executive officer of the society of evidence based medicine so we've heard. all over the city from these wildfires how worried should people be about the health effects of the small. well what we can say as a health professional says that first of all this heat wave particularly dangerous for people with chronic diseases like say chronic up structure in their disease is came across a disease branco for healthy people it's less likely that it's all dangerous for people with chronic diseases yes this is this maybe. those health consequences or

and so we're aware now of the health consequences of the potential consequences but as we've had these record temperatures for several weeks now what do you think people should do to help cope. well we would advise to people at home doing that particularly. but you could always sherl for two hours during the day this is called siesta time from one pm to four pm it's advisable to stay at home or in your office especially if you have air conditioning in your office switched on it's good to stay it's in the building without going outside very much and maybe to drink some tea or if you're at home to go to sleep for a couple of hours or just to have a rest now so it is it is the weekend so there could be some people out there having a small cocktail out by the river or on a picnic should people be wary of drinking alcohol in this kind of weather. yes of

course alcohol is one of the costs of the increased incidence of drownings alcohol related drones now we can talk about more than the one thousand deaths in central russia associated with alcohol related drowning when people are going outside to the u.s. side say or when they're doing barbecue and drink alcohol. when pilsen gets into the water because the lack of control over the environment forward its own actions and may seem easily so we would advise them not to drink much alcohol moral alcohol consumption is a stress for organising. overall stress for organisms anyway so people with chronic disease who drink alcohol during the cold weather may suffer from hot to talk of from any other acute effects of health all right some good advice there and.

it's here and russians all across the country deal with these historic record breaking temperatures out of your guild dr deputy executive officer of the society of evidence based medicine thank you. well still to come this hour. really union find out to what lengths the stone you know authorities are prepared to go to let nazi veterans from world war two meet without destruction. while the race is on to prevent thousands of barrels containing highly dangerous chemicals from reaching russia currently floating down a chinese river and experts say they could reach the border within several days the drums were swept into the river in northwest china after the worst flooding in a decade deluged factories nearby. reports from russia's far east coast to the border with china. the river is one of the biggest sources of fresh water in

russia's far east and in the city as world water standing now and its ecology is still under up with threats because china is just several dozen kilometers away from here and so is this sand for river which joins the army where the place where this emergency happened to be chinese authorities do say that they've managed to extract several thousand barrels which have been previously washed into the river as a result of the biggest flood in a decade the china has experienced several more thousand barrels are still in the water in the sun for river and or en route towards the end towards russia china has built eight beers in order to prevent them from getting here but there are several factors suggesting that anything could happen for example out of the seven thousand barrels which of initially got into the water three thousand of them contain toxic substances including acids which make it cause harm to humans and animals and it's

not clear how many of these so far extracted barrels actually contain these toxic substances there are also reports that some of the barrels may have sunk to the bottom which makes them up attentional future a threat for the ecology and also obviously makes it much more difficult to extract . them to the surface this is not the first time that china is experienced such problems back in two thousand and five a huge chemical spill has left millions of chinese without the supplies of fresh water and the authorities on both sides are monitoring the situation with the emergencies ministry here is already monitoring the quality of the water so far they haven't reported any abnormalities but they do see that they are already planning ways to distribute fresh water to the local population in case the contamination does happen of course we'll be monitoring the situation and we will report on this story as it continues to develop. their reporting from

far east well there is always much much more on the stories we're covering plus plenty of extras on our website that is calm and has a quick look at what's waiting for you to be discovered there right now demonstrators a procedure town hall in the moscow region in a bid to save trees but not from the fires currently raging across russia. and big hearted harry the manager of tottenham football club makes his second russian signing off to find a home for the parasailing donkey who won the sympathy of animal lovers everywhere you can find out more any time you like at our website r t v dot com. estonian veterans who fought on the side of the nazis during the second world war are meeting in the country's capital it's not the first event of this kind in the

baltic state and there is outrage inside and outside about how thorough he is allowing s.s. sympathizers to gather and as artie's catherine as our reports those who want to protest the meeting face some inventive hurdles. every year when a lot of the international anti fascist organizations attempt to cross the border into their neighboring a stonier they say they run into all kinds of trouble because you stoning authorities whilst kindly allowing all kinds of form of veterans of german waffen s.s. groups to gather and hold meetings and basically glorify in all kinds of ways the german s.s. groups that basically fought on the german side on the nazi side during the world of the second world war they will not allow anti fascist organizations to hold similar rallies and come up with all kinds of legal and illegal excuses to keep them from entering the country from holding their rallies and this year it's been just the same way as soon as the bus with an anti fascist organizations crossed the

border into a stone yet they were pulled over the only car to be pulled over here at this checkpoint and their bus underwent a very detailed technical inspection and that technical inspection according to the officers we've managed to speak to they said they found a number of issues with this very bus they say that the wheels are somehow out of order that the protector on the wheels is not of a standardized depth whilst according to the regulations the depth of that protector has to be one point six millimeters and that's a minimum there is no maximum this protector's deeper but still they say it is on acceptable one more issue that they have found with this bus they say it is only while they found three drops underneath the bus around here somewhere and you can just barely see them if you get down all the way onto the ground and actually crouch and shine a flashlight under the bus and this is very strange because the oil drops are here and the engine of the bus which is the only place that can actually leak oil is all

the way over here a bus hasn't made it that far the engine of the bus hasn't yet made it this far so where there was a well drops came from and why if the engine is leaking oil there's only three drop . boston is standing here for over an hour there is no more not a single drop but still the authorities are saying this bus is unfit for stony and roads and therefore it will be turned around and all the people who are on it when you are faced with either standing here for the entire night or walking to tell him which is over a few hundred kilometers of course they are going to try and find a different way of transportation but with the estonian authorities this is quite difficult because all of us as the nearby towns are suddenly either broken down unavailable on technical repair or are already engaged so how this will pan out nobody can yet tell but one thing is certain the estonian authorities are doing everything they can to prevent these people from exercising their constitutional

rights. for their reporting from the a start in capital or let's get some other international news here on. in pakistan over four hundred being killed in the past three days in floods triggered by monsoon rains hundreds of thousands more have been left stranded as emergency services struggled to reach remote villages the provincial government has declared a state of emergency to ensure brains are expected to continue over the weekend this will say the floods all the worst in almost eighty years. and earthquake has rattled a city in northeastern iran injuring more than one hundred people several villages also suffered damage there was a temporary communications interruption iran lives on seismic fault lines and has experienced devastating earthquakes in the past most notably in december of two thousand and three when a quake killed at least thirty thousand in the city of. say hamas commander has been killed and eleven people injured by an israeli air strike in the gaza strip.
