meet a family to find out how they were caping in the aftermath. it was supposed to be a new beginning instead it was a fiery end just one day after giving birth to baby. in alexandria kulaks house was burned to the it was one of the many inverted nish destroyed by the fish fire the two three people leaving devastation in its wake move. we've lived here for five years and now this is all that remains of a home now they have to stay in a refuge since one of two in the city. to help me isn't being left. tory which means victory so i think when we come in from before. i think everything will be all right we've got enough help on our life has just started we've been hit way continuing fires still burning throughout central russia many towns villages and her. remain

a breath imagine says have been battling to gain control of the situation. now the situation is under control at least eighty houses have burned down during the fire at least one person died in this village probably when the man desperately trying to leave his burning house was struck by falling wires to the electric shock of killed him also many have lost their houses to the fire kareena and alexander remain great name that like they could have lost a lot more so if. for a. on the he is set to stay with the wreck who breaking temperatures like russia roasting until the middle of august and blankets the small still taking many cities including moscow always easier if it all stays in the center of the capital for us this seemed to be some restaurant from the worst of the smoke out the weekend but it's coming back because this award sidelined in moscow right now in terms of air

pollution. while alice indeed as a record breaking heat wave continues to spread across russia the situation here in the capital most is getting worse and worse every day for more than a week already smoke from massive forest and people fires in the central russia has been covering this t.-t. mosco and other russian cities and now they law a very thick blanket of smoke visibility is extremely low in a normal day when the skies are clear maybe my cameraman will i show you behind me would be able to see the kremlin and the procedural not always you can see you can see yourself a sole bald slight outlines and i would do for size that we have now is tendon in the very center in the very heart of most so the station in the most you saw gerbs and in known central districts is a win wars ministry of emergencies is not saying that. about two hundred a half days of burning every day and of these very moment dozens of forest fires

are outraging in there is surrounded moscow but at the same time moreover frustration is also continue to spread across russia over the phrase while the officials are saying that there are no statistics of small good related deaths of medics war and that's really nice is as dangerous as smoke and forty cigarettes is equivalent to smoking four to cigarettes in a few hours so i want to tell you that the reason now a very strong smell of burning. yeah i did it's very hard to breach nol that's why medics say that. people can use mosques what mosques to brief noble they say with the fires spreading across russia i want i can tell that patrick is also expressing at the same time they had a vicious also the extraordinary has pulled people for praying for ray and this is what the believers all across russia are now doing alice mccool's would have this

something a huge impact on people's day to day life in the city and across the countries in the area but is there any good news on the horizon on what we're going to have any kind of west point from the full colston's to thing. while indeed the consequences of these kids are very bad and very serious and the impact it has on people's health is a very serious as well but the worst news is that measure older say that's the temperatures will only this hit and it will only intensify in the next days and it could even approach forty one degrees says is if you stay say they say that. i don't approach in cold from may reduce the temperature in the city to thirty degrees says this but only in the second oldest alice. many times as long as we finish our work force in the various tantrums.

four hundred barrels out of the seven thousand that were washed into the sun or river four days ago as a result of a flood however the cleanup operation is far from over first of all three thousand barrels out of those which were washed into the water contain toxic substances including acids which may be harmful to the environment and it's not clear how many barrels out of the remaining ones in the water contain these substances secondly chinese media has now reported that some of the barrels were damaged and have leaked some of the chemical substances into the suncor river and they were detected by specialist all of this is of course raising a major concern in russia since the sun for river joins the river which you can see behind me over there and that's a major source of fresh water in russia's far east in general and especially in the city of ask where i'm standing now and despite the fact that chinese authorities have now built eleven barriers to prevent the remaining barrels from reaching

russia the big question is whether these barriers will be will be enough to collect the chemicals if indeed they got into the water unfortunately this is not a new situation for the locals here just last winter they saw a huge oil spill right on the wood which also arrived from china and they were not able to drink fresh water only were able to drink it using special filters and the clean up operation was quite expensive as well of stories now say that if the chemicals really got into the water it should take them around a week to reach the russian chinese border and another week to reach out of school but they're already planning ways to distribute fresh water to the local population in case of contamination does occur plus specialists are currently monitoring the quality of the hour more at least twice a day and the russian emergencies ministry says that they will increase the number of monitoring stations in around a week but thankfully so far. none of them have reported any abnormalities in the

previews and that you always get pushed back i never would if you abused by some of that isolation we always get that organization or its friends pushing back to try and steer the message away from you know occasions that have been raised. when we'll see an american journalist who published link to get papers on the vietnam war some forty years ago has been sharing his views on the wiki leaks scandal with he things that the websites found asuncion should be boring as we'll hear about around twenty minutes time on aussie. he was bound to get there and he was going to be under the heat the military and institutions are going to get and we're bound to get angry over this and this is a major embarrassment to these people that. a leak on this scale would occur particularly to a pro you could take in sensitive you know names of informants that could get

people killed. so they were bound to go after him people who make leaks like this whoever leaked it to a sergeant in the sun who distributed. always have an axe to grind. one all of the wiki leaks revelations was that the son has been playing a double game with the u.s. the documents suggest islamabad to billions of dollars in aid from washington while the spy agency was supporting the taliban i'm only is now calling for america to review its policy there is the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee well aussies made it shall i say going to crystal explain. i agree with senator john kerry that it's high time and actually it's long overdue for the u.s. policy in afghanistan to be recalibrated but to accelerate their recalibration of u.s. policy in afghanistan it would be very helpful if the next week in lake exposure
