food for thought. less than a decade ago when gary and ducks were sold to everywhere across western europe and the c.i.s. but now the owner of the stock for us to seek other markets including japan and china it has been very hard for him to sell it. will look at why i joined a big european union is leaving hungary's land of plenty star of success also later . russia's fountains are now makeshift swimming pools as the heat wave continues but there are those taking the plunge every year. during the rush drawing the russian paratroopers were keeping cool while filming braving a special anniversary. well the online whistleblower wiki leaks is following up its massive exposé of afghan war secrets by posting a mysterious encrypted file called insurance the file size is huge amount one hundred times bigger than most of the other files posted but so far no one has been

able to decrypt it is more emmett has more from london. we knew very little about this file we do know it's one point four gigabytes which is quite a large file and as you say big. 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. an encrypted file. on the website so obviously we're not meant to be able to and experts all the experts in the business is saying that is that one file like this when one feels under threat in some way what they think will happen is that if any harm comes to do their national ourselves or any of his 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 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 us authorities in the fighting forces wanted to keep secrets he may feel under threat because of that from them in some way but we should also examine the possibility that this is a publisher to start and 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 now just as it is dying away he placed a file on his website called insurance and by it's in another news cycle it starts on monday this week also it's got a lot of people talking about it 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

this last week so you could be eighty thousand files was one of the biggest leaks in u.s. . military history and that is notable about it but 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 domain and of course it is shocking to see that information. to get a percentage for everybody to see but yes there has been some i'm told that that wasn't really anything new in that we do 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 in these really detailed accounts of the fighting over the last six years and that is noticeable in it so. well neal she handed american journalist who published leaked pentagon papers on the vietnam war

forty years ago has been sharing his views on the wiki leaks scandal with r.t. he thinks the web site's founder julian assange should be wary as well here in twenty minutes time he was going to gets there he was going to be under the heat the military and 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 to probably sensitive you know names of informants that could get people killed. so they were bound to go after people who make leaks like this whoever leaked it and the sons who distributed. always have an axe to grind i. chinese authorities say they've managed to retrieve all of the barrels which were sweeping down a flooded river towards russia but the worry is that several drums are thought to

have already lead to dangerous chemicals into the water argues it has 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 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 specialists 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 their barrels from reaching russia 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 to us specialists are currently monitoring the quality of the arm or the 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. of course for more on any of the stories we're covering go to our dot com there is more than just news let's take a look at what else we've got there for you right now you can learn about the role

u.s. we in hungary keep are birds in open spaces they claim an environment allows that that's why did the world a world producer. less than a decade ago had to gary and ducks were sold to everywhere across western europe and the c.i.s. but now the owner of this dock farm has to seek other markets including japan and china it has been very hard for him to sell it on continent he says that ever since his country became a member of the european union he had to reduce his stock almost two fold. the russian market i mean by are in favor of the market return now that europe apart from france wasn't interested in our products this seriously in fact that the demand and farm owners had to secure their stock because according to new regulations keeping it was too costly before the collapse of the socialist regime and nine hundred ninety hungary was one of europe's breadbaskets its agricultural

sector was a strong part of the economy and countries of the post soviet space actually imported hungary and products in two thousand and four the country was accepted into the european union but instead of greener pastures which e.u. membership promised and care in farming suffered a serious blow to european union didn't want to. improve the situation in hungary he only wanted to get down get on markets and he have done it they don't need our production they produce. enough meat to fly and they produce everything they want to hang people to buy that production. but it is bad for us it's like a situation if a colony. brussels have a special program to develop regional agriculture and which promises bigger income for farmers but experts say it has 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. foreign supermarkets flooded the hungarian market with cheap goods which have been 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 former 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 love budapest to extend it. looks erosive ski r.t. reporting from hungary let's take a look now at what else is dominating world news this monday the massive floods which are rather which are raging through northwestern pakistan have now killed at
