and neighbors have been mulling around and there were many tales of courage. if i didn't come back on time my neighbor would have been burned alive because she didn't see the fire approaching from both sides she could have been trapped in the middle at the last moment she ran out in her gown and slippers she's left without her identification and any of her documents the devastation wasn't just restricted to property. i buried my rottweiler he was near the house when it caught fire he panicked and didn't let anyone approach him. he was burned alive it was a good dog people are now coming to terms with how everything that was being lost but they all help is coming from many. who have come here to one of the temporary refuge centers where people have been coming up in their hundreds bringing food and clothes and offering help to those who lost everything in the fire with so many

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 vote on this truce all the bloody conflicts and going by clinton's account of the support he received from all the soldiers during his time in prison is just said inside the armed forces something the government could have a hard time make nor nor emmett's r.t. london and coming up in the program new york resident laurie harvest asks people whether a weekly release of u.s. military files was the right thing to do. out of the sordid details of politicians i don't think we need to know the but information that is in the public just such as should know everything i believe that you know america should know a lot of things but also america should be kept in the dark about other things.

and china thousands of barrels containing toxic chemicals continue to move towards russia after being swept into a river by floods and although chinese authorities are desperately trying to intercept the poisonous containers there are unconfirmed reports that some could already be leaking their contents into the water aren't easy or if it's going off as more. base either just around fifty years ago the water in the arm or was so clean it was possible to drink it straight from the river obviously over the years the situation has changed but the ecology here is now under threat of becoming even worse chinese authorities now see that they've managed to extract. several thousand barrels which have been washed into the river last wednesday as a result of the biggest floods china has experienced in a decade but that means that several more thousand barrels are still in the water and since the river joins the. chinese located just several dozen away from here these barrels are clearly enroute to words russia chinese are eight beers

to prevent these barrels from reaching here however there are signs suggesting that the ecology is still under threat first of all out of the seven thousand barrels which have got into the water three thousand of them contain chemical substances including acids which may be harmful to the environment and there have been reports that some of these barrels have leaked these chemicals into the water and the old we also be en route towards the also been reports that some of the barrels may have sunk into the water and that creates a potential future of threat to the environment and also makes it much more difficult to extract them to do surface since the river is a major source of fresh water in the city. and in russia's far east in general many locals here are very concerned about the situation. they say they're trying to intercept them but i still think some will eventually end up here some say they're

leaking on the chemicals will come anyway. it's not the first time we've had problems like this in the winter there was a big can it will spill and we had to use what's a filter is china has to find a way to prevent the steam we won't be able to drink the source or it'll of course the authorities in russia are very concerned about the situation as well and the russian consulate and embassy are cooperating with authorities in china nevertheless the officials here are already planning ways to distribute fresh water to the local population in case of contamination. but thankfully for the emergencies ministry which is monitoring the quality of the water by taking samples at least twice a day they see that so far they haven't found any abnormalities he is going off reporting there and still ahead on the program a milestone for the eyes find out how the docking of a russian module at the international space station ten years ago made it work and

the web site wiki leaks has just released more u.s. government information this time with more than ninety one thousand reports from the war in afghanistan should they be releasing such sensitive information this week let's talk about that i'm a journalist and i think freedom that you get the people need to know what's happening and i think it's great is there anything that the public shouldn't know. i don't want the sordid details of politicians out of the group we need to know that but information that's in the same public domain just such as should know everything is there any information that should never be published by a watchdog oh yeah i mean if they're saying which is going to endanger troops or something which is really going to hurt us or hurt the people who are really trying to do the right thing in afghanistan it should absolutely not be shared so out of ninety one thousand reports it is possible i'm sure there's a bunch in there that's bad stuff i believe that you know america should know a lot of things but also america should be kept in the dark about other things and

they compared to the pentagon papers this was released without a lot of. time explaining what it all means it's just a lot of information without a lot of explanation and that leads to you know anyone could take it and use it how they want to use it should they have done it no but is the i'm a she should be information classified in the first place that's another question i mean some of that information is pretty basic is it really a serious risk to national security and the fact that the information is published it doesn't look like it but it's not a good idea to be leaking classified information whether or not you think this kind of government information should be released to the public the bottom line is that now it's out there for the whole world to access so let's just hope it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. and it's ten years since the international space station first became habitable when a russian module was a life support systems docked with the orbiter even revolutionize the research

they're rescued within several minutes by those on the other side. the first one was placed in this private hospital it's still the most popular with nearly fifteen children left here in five years when asked by the books as soon as the baby's placed inside the door locks on the outside and in the llama settles i remember running to the box for the first time to see the baby inside and showing it to the doctor to be examined it felt special i think it is an amazing invention. the baby books and learned is not a doctor but a writer and horse breeder but his idea was not immediately well received with protests from some clergyman and even doctors. though the baby box is high tech with three hundred twenty eight parts special places to leave unwanted children existed even in ancient times. but the government was wary of the baby books and didn't provide funding as if i was encouraging people to get rid of their children
