we draw an extremely susceptible to these toys that we've ravaged some of the areas i have read she really has done a huge amount of damage to towns and villages and left thousands and thousands of people homeless here in the city they've got. people are able to see. the people who have been left homeless at the moment they've had a huge amount of volunteers come forward bringing clothes and offering assistance to these people but we've been speaking to some of the locals who witnessed the fires burning their homes they described the shock of the situation and how fierce and quickly the fires told through these towns there really wasn't much chance for the emergency services to reach the earth and anything about it now rushes finance minister this is already run into millions and millions of dollars worth of damage so now it's going to be about trying to help these people who have been left homeless do with the situation we actually went to 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 victoria in alexandria kulaks house was burnt to the ground 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 is it being left. with an entire victorian 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 and fires still burning throughout central russia many towns villages and homes remain. emergency services have been battling to gain control of the. situation at the pump 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 the electric shock killed him well so many have lost their houses to the fire commissioner and alexander remain great knowing that like they could have lost a lot more so if. for anus. and the heat is set to stay with the record breaking temperatures like russia roasting into the middle of august at least and blankets the small goals to choking many cities including here in moscow while aussies riven is in the center of the capital fourth now i'm rid of this seemed to be some little rest why for through the worst of the smoke over the course of the weekend but it's come back again with a vengeance i want to live in moscow right now with the grounds. while i listen

to as a record breaking heat wave continues to literally torture russia and temperatures are constantly going our mosco the capital mosco is quite literally smoking policy for more than a week old readies the smoke from massive forests and people fires in the central russia has been blanketing the capital and all the central russian cities and now they all lie on day very big bale of smoke as you can see behind me visibilities wide law and thus far is russian ministry your majesties is now reporting at least very mormon dozens of blasi zala continue to outrage in the area surrounding most k. and daily about two hundred have to bernie but also they smoke has badly polluted and specially say that today pollution is ten times higher than normal level and with a situation so war as one of the big war raises the impact is going to have people

felt not right now i can feel quite clearly these rather strong smell of burning in the air and is rather hard to breathe here and doctors recommend to use while what mast and address at the time when the officials are saying that there are no statistics on small related dives especially say that concentrations present ration health problem. and all the dangerous substances is so high that proving these here for a few hours is a cruel into smoking forty say a great safe ways far as freddy's frolics russia can take his old so you present him on people the situation they had to rich is also strong as they try kid who has called for people to trade for rape and this is what all the believers across russia are now doing alice palmer is the. good news on the horizon from the food

bowls to good most wise to food to wendy's will to me. while these kids are has been literally tortured precious seems to me june there was news is that for crosses know that all of tim a six year old just say that they state will only intensify in the next days and the temperature could even reach forty one degrees says they say that their approach in cold front may reduce the temperature in the city of morse code to thirty degrees senses but only in the second harmful oberst so maybe the worst case to come alice had very many plans but opted that was all she's written off the report for us from the very center. so have you this hour here on the european foam is getting some serious food football. less than a decade ago when gary and drugs were sold to everywhere across western europe. but

now the owner of the dog form to seek other markets including china has been very hard for him to sell if you don't call. where you live why join the european union is leaving hungry the land of plenty to be stalled just acceptance. the online whistle blow away he leaks is falling off its massive expose a afghan war secrets by p. . sting a mysterious encrypted file called insurance the file size is huge about a hundred times bigger than most of the other files pasted but so you fall no one's been able to decrease well let's see if i make a more light on this now she's in them for us do we have any idea why the encrypted file is cooled insurance. well i we we knew very little about this file we do know its size it's one point four gigabytes which is quite

a large file and as you say bigger than any of the documents much bigger than any of the documents the eighty thousand documents that wiki leaks posted last week it's name insurance and i mean it's not known why why they would have called it that but we can speculate somewhat on what could be going on here it's an encrypted file he was. on the website so obviously we're not meant to be able to and what experts all the experts in the business is saying that is that one posts a file like this when one feels under threat in some ways so what they think will happen is that if any harm comes to do to national ourselves or any of his team or possibly even the website itself then the key will be sent out posted on the website and everybody will be able to open it and it will reveal some sort of huge secret now as to why and wiki leaks mice have done this he may have made some enemies last week of course he made this posting of eighty thousand documents which

revealed secrets about the afghan war that the u.s. authorities in the fighting forces wanted to keep secrets he may feel under threat because of that from them in some way but he also it was revealed towards the end of last week. the names g.p.s. coordinates and villages of some afghans who had cooperated with the u.s. forces during during that time in afghanistan may. he may feel under threat from people like that they may possibly feel that they've been being betrayed. the families of soldiers who are fighting in the conflict may feel that he's giving away too much information and therefore put their loved ones at risk but we should also examine the possibility that this is a publicist. if you just look at the timing it's monday morning here in london now and this information has only recently been released this week there was a lot of news about wishy leaks because of the release of baseballs that is just

starting to die down just as it's dying away he placed a file on his website called insurance and ballots and another news cycle that starts on monday this week also it's got a lot of people talking about it and because the file is encrypted and we can't see what's in it it's got a lot of people talking without him even having to post any kind of new information . secret saying but evidence such as the level of civilian killings in afghanistan is really nothing new today's who are following the conflict closely to have been any real revelations you say. well this this last week's leak of the eighty thousand files was one of the biggest leaks in u.s. military history and that is notable about there were thousands of files incident reports things that happened on the grounds that the u.s. military during the normal course of things doesn't want really want people to know but then that they were all of a sudden the public to me and of course it is shocking to see that information together and presented for everybody to see but yes there has been some talk that

there wasn't really anything new in it we didn't know that civilians were dying we did know that the soldiers on the ground were covering up the rate at which civilians are being killed either by just playing down the numbers so by making calling civilians insurgents and the reports. that were released last week were really detailed accounts of the fighting over the last six years and that is noticeable and that. many thanks for that update that was nor i mean speaking to us from london. he'll ish in an american journalist who published the pentagon papers on the vietnam war some forty years ago i loosely been sharing his views on the wiki leaks scandal with ossie he things that the websites found us and just should be worried so here about about an hour's time off. he was going to gets there he was going to be under the heat the military institutions are going to get . to get angry over this is

a major embarrassment to these people that. a leak on this scale would occur particularly through the print you could be sensitive you know names of informants that could get people killed. so they were bound to go after people who make leaks like this were leaked to a son who distributed. always have an ax to grind. chinese authorities say they've managed to retrieve almost all of the bottles which were sweeping down a flooded river towards russia but the worry is that several drums of thought to be already leaking dangerous chemicals into the water got to come off as more from russia's far east. 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 sun for over and they were detected by specialist all of this is of course raising a major concern in russia since the sun wherever 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 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 see 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 are 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 ecology. and of course for more on any of the stories that we're covering today to check out our website that's available twenty four seventh's and there's more than just a name. here's a quick taste of what else is on the site at the moment learn about the role which some leading russians have played in u.s. history. american courts. and see news with

a smile and take old what's happening in russia under our exclusive call soon gallery at all to call. the rich hungry have long made an enviable schools with food production but farmers there say that they're being starved of business and you also. been hearing about that please. this is one of the biggest farms in hungary more than ten thousand dogs bring quite a profit for its owner liver and duck eggs are in high demand sask his land is perfect for this kind of business. in the us.

important. in two thousand for the country was accepted into the european union but instead of greener pastures we should be too membership promised and gary in forming suffered a serious blow. to improve the situation and. to get there. and they have done it they don't need our production. people to buy that production. but it is bad for us it's like a situation. brussels have a special program to develop regional agriculture and which promises bigger income for foremost experts brought little result local producers have been losing more than a third of their revenue every year since two thousand and four compared to the nine hundred ninety s.

and now even their own market is practically close to them i mean foreign supermarkets flooded the hungarian market with cheap goods which are being far better promoted than domestic products and according to e.u. regulations we cannot these supermarkets to sell our products the only thing we have managed to do to avoid a complete destruction of the local market is to push through legislation which obliges the shops to have at least thirty percent of domestic production on their shelves hungary has a moratorium on purchases of farmland by foreigners farmers say this is the only thing which keeps their agricultural sector from being completely overrun the ban expires in april next year and it's unclear whether the euro commission will allow budapest or extended. reporting from hungary. now what else is dominating the world's headlines today and the massive floods which are waiting to move. till after least one thousand one hundred people.

to make the law tougher it's more likely that the practice of law enforcement will be perfect it's just the luck of the trading law was the last obstacle for russia to adopt the memorandum of international organisation of securities commissions what will change now. we've taken account of remarks made to us by the international organization of securities commission and we've practically removed all points of criticism we've extended time for storing documents subject to control and supervision we've imposed strict regulations for using confidential information we've introduced the right of access to banking secrets both of physical persons and legal entities and we already had the right broker accounts that's why i think we have removed all obstacles we expect the international organization of securities commissions will carry out new checks in the good sense of the word with regards to this law by its wording and its practical application
