a home or anywhere to go but for now firefighters about one hundred eighty thousand of them are going from scene to scene trying to put out fires and they're getting help from the military but the problem is the weather not only is it excessively hot we're receiving record temperatures but this heat is also sparking fires and fields and the winds are taking these fires and displacing them around so firefighters go to one feet and put out the blaze and then go to another and have to fight and how long will these fires continue to go we don't know but we do know we are hearing from ecologists that the damages to our forest preserves could take decades to recover from smoke continues to blanket the russian capital and multiplied by days heat over thirty five degrees so this is where it makes life here in the city just unbearable just challenging people say they're struggling they're now surviving for more than

a week already the smoke from massive forests and people prior's in the central russia my colleague states has just been talking about has been covering most go and all the central russian cities it's been even worse and earlier in the morning when visibility was just three meters is but anyway we can still clearly feel that strong smell of burning and it's very hard to breathe the reason feeling like there is a lack of all to join in basic and how facts praise saying that pollution is a very high sometimes in some parts of the city it is ten times higher than normal safety limits doctors are saying that concentration of colborne and all the dangerous substances based so hard that prevent these airhead in most is a cruel into smoking to three packs. seacrest in just a few are was with flies pregnant cross russia canada's fold we need them on people and the fear is a rising power over the impact it's going to have own people's condition and

people's health we have been able to speak to some people here on the streets of moscow this now listen to what they have to say about that how are they concerned about it if you think that it was the last two weeks of being extremely difficult in moscow it's hard people don't feel like working it's hard to breathe when you wake up in the morning i feel some discomfort in my chest the sun makes my head hot so it's impossible to work do business or whatever it's hot soon it will be like it is in the tropics bananas will grow on the birch trees instead of potatoes people plant pineapples this record breaking heat wave in russia and fires right now across the country have already turned into a national catastrophe here in russia prime minister vladimir putin has already traveled to the country's most regions and has personally spoken to people there those who've lost their hands during these fires and during an emergency mission here in moscow today his discourse the situation with russia's minister of

in the united nations investigation into the storming of a garza bound aid flotilla the un secretary general ban ki moon announced the probe into the raid where nine turkish activists were killed by israeli soldiers outrage over the deaths led to mounting international pressure on the jewish state parties paula sleep explains. what we hearing is that in principle israel will agree to a united nations probe into the photo raid back in may now this is unprecedented it's also significant because on the ninth of june the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is on record as saying that he will never allow an international protest this states a dangerous precedent and you need to remember of course that previous investigations have never had any kind of participation previous international investigations and this is because israel believes that primarily the united nations and other international bodies prejudge it before actually coming here but what we're hearing now is that the israeli prime minister has tossed his defense

minister to tell american officials waive years at the moment in new york that is one in principle will agree to handing over papers and putting forward it's augment what happened in this gaza flotilla raid it seems that international pressure has played its part the diplomatic fallout was unprecedented you had demonstrations in machos throughout the world you had countries calling israeli ambassadors for some kind of explanation as to how they maybe had behaved in this gaza flotilla and here in this well you also had many governments considering in fact some going as far as to do so to actually report their ambassadors from most israelis still believe that this was a deliberate provocation they do not believe that the gaza tell it was a humanitarian aid if they believe that they were a significant number of militants on board especially on board the ship and they do also think that there was an attempt to try and smuggle weapons into gaza having said that though they risk criticism and a lot of debate here among the israeli public as to how the navy conducted itself

with questions being raised and some of these questions in fact were raised by me into the israeli military probe it questioned and it actually put forth the suggestion that there had not been sufficient intelligence gathering and also that there were question marks over what over the way the army handled itself so these are the questions israelis have as to why the navy in fact had to behave in such a way that it missed nine people dead but the. i haven't actually criticized the fact as to whether or not he was legitimate most israelis believing that it was and i want to go also add on that point that there is a small voice within israel the voice that does support the international community's call for the lifting of the blockade which some israelis holding demonstrations and some israelis say that in fact this for taylor wasn't humanitarian effort and it should have been allowed to cross through into gaza. paula slayer our correspondent in tel aviv door with r.t. in a few moments food for thought farmers in hungary say they're being starved of business by e.u. policies and that the country is being treated as a colony rather than

a partner the full story just ahead tonight. the blue berets of russia's paratroopers are on display across the country as the elite unit celebrates its eightieth anniversary. first the online whistleblower wiki leaks has followed up its publishing of classified afghan war documents with an encrypted file it's about one hundred times bigger than most of the other recently posted files and no one has been able to decipher it so far how to use laura who tries to shed some light on the mystery. we know 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 big and the over 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 some of what could be going on here it's an encrypted file.

on the website so obviously we're not meant to be able to. experts all the experts in the business as saying that is that one file like this when one feels under threat it's in some ways what they think will happen is that if any harm comes to do their national or any of his he will 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 publicist the start and if you just look at the timing it's monday here in london

and this information has 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 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's leak of the eighty thousand files was one of the biggest leaks in u.s. military history and that is. 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 that they were all of a sudden the public to me and of course it is shocking to see that information together and percentage for everybody to see but yes there has been some i'm told that that wasn't really anything new and if 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 or by making calling civilians in the. reports. really detailed accounts of the fighting over the last six years and it's noticeable in. barak obama says the u.s. is still on track for pulling out troops by the end of august but he also hinted that an american presence would remain in iraq for the foreseeable future by saying the u.s. . in the war torn country. philip giraldi says it's high time the u.s. going out of iraq. well i think it very definitely is the right or the right decision in that the united states continued presence in iraq is not really a stabilizing force i believe that the united states so we're all in fact it is overdue currently the troops are are generally just backing up iraqi security forces and as such are playing a secondary role the big question is to what extent is an american military

presence something that props up the government in the sense of of enabling a government to be created as you well know iraq has not had a government now for over five months and also july was the worst month in two years for civilian casualties so the situation is definitely not stable but the big question becomes to what extent is the continued american presence a good force i mean i'm not convinced that that's the case and i think what obama is trying to do is declare victory and get out. the iraqi people have definitely not really benefited from very much from the last seven years of activity the employment rates remain high there are there are millions of people who have been displaced from their homes electricity is shorter than it was under saddam hussein water supplies are bad so this is not been an unmitigated blessing in any sense for the iraqi people and it my mind it's probably time for the united states to get out

. and buy a new potential comfort zone president challenged him to face to face meeting speaking at a conference in. responded to a statement made by the u.s. military chief doing a talk show and said a strike on iran is an option if diplomacy fails to stop iran's nuclear ambitions. said when a tree confrontation was not something a rant was considering this all comes around faces new international sanctions driven by washington over the islamic republic's program. ahmed miranda is from university of tehran he told this president ahmadinejad's speech highlights iran's willingness for dialogue. but i think it's more symbolic what he's basically saying is that we are willing to compare our rational rationality in our reasoning with american reasoning in american magick in front of

a global audience in what he's basically saying is that the americans are behaving unreasonably irrationally and dangerously whereas the iranians are looking for a way for solutions for example with fear with regards to the iranian nuclear program that iran declaration was a major step forward that the united states forced a resolution in the u.n. security council basically to destroy any opportunity for resolving the issue and unfortunately russia and china are key is the americans and went along with it and at the same time. the iranians their position with regard to the united states is that the two sides should resolve their issues peacefully the united states and tenuously in constantly makes threats against the iranians. the region fertile lands of hungary have long made it an enviable source for food production but farmers the now say that since joining the european union in two thousand and four they were losing business not a selection or

a jet ski has been hearing about their plight. this is one of the biggest bird farms in hungary more than ten thousand guineas and ducks bring quite a profit for its owner liver goose and duck eggs are in high demand he says his land is perfect for this kind of business only countries in western europe in the us we in hungary keep or birds in open spaces they claim an environment allows that that's why did the world of world produce. less than a decade ago how gary and ducks were sold to everywhere across western europe and the c.i.s. but now the owner of the stock farm has to seek other markets including japan and china because it's been very hard for him to sell a continent he says that ever since his country became a member of the european union he had to reduce his stalk almost two fold. the russian market i mean buyer in favor of the market but it turned out that your

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 in products in two thousand and four the country was accepted into the european union but instead of green a place just was eager membership promised and gary in forming suffered a serious blow to european union didn't want to. improve the situation and. only wanted to get down on markets and they 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 i mean their 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 these 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 van

expires in april next year and it's unclear whether the euro commission will allow budapest to extend it. looks serious ascii art see reporting from hungary. the blue berets of russia's paratroopers are funding the country's streets is the mark the eighth anniversary of the unit and here in the capital about five thousand exhibits men gathered for a celebration. of a joint. celebrations are in full swing very festive spirit here in moscow as thousands of paratroopers gathering on the streets cheering each other they're singing songs shaking hands meeting each other gathering in groups smoking in bars right now outside of one of those bars which is the traditional place for those kinds of celebrations usually on this day moscow is in russia's fountains turn into swimming pools because this is part of the tradition for paratroopers of celebrating this day that they jump into fountains usually it's frowned upon but this year because of this abnormal heat russian authorities have officially allowed

them to jump in those fountains easy to recognize them as well of course because they're wearing distinctive features of their uniforms that liberates and the stripey t. shirts or the classic classic uniforms their moto is no one but so they're also on high alert even though they're celebrating today we saw a group of paratroopers that helped to stop a fire from spreading from one car that started burning to others by moving them away so they are still remembering their duties and they are considered to be the most elite units of the russian army the most mobile units. the red army was actually the first one to implement them during the cold war of the soviet union had the largest airborne units in the world russian paratroopers sports in the guidance then they fought during both. campaigns in chechnya and did during georgia's assaults on self said and the unit was established in the 1930's they're celebrating their eighty's anniversary and the unit was in stablished twelve

paratroopers jumped out of the plane outside during the war games some eighty years ago. the tell the reporting their own troops in ten minutes time we talked to american investigative journalist neil shubin the sequence in the wake of the wiki leaks scandal he released pentagon papers about the vietnam war forty years ago he's a good go to talk to them all about. business with. hello and welcome to the business program here on r.t. prices of russia real estate you're on the rebound even though the global economy has yet to emerge from the financial crisis i mean a question of are reports on the reasons behind the property price rise. it seems the slowdown in russia's real estate market may finally be over in the first half

of this year alone prices grew by fifteen to twenty percent and it's not only the price level which is growing but also the number of deals signed most of the developers now declare that. is about three times higher than it was two thousand in two thousand. so we could say that on the basis of that of the growing. demand on the market could declare most of the developers could declare the process up there rises soon in every single sector from economy parliaments to luxury homes here in this area where the school is where this it is most expensive apartments are like cases the starting price of just one square meter tops thirty thousand dollars but this is not the upper limit the prices are expected to raise the even higher over the next year. after the financial crisis fewer companies started to build new apartment buildings and at the same time the demand for flats

continue to grow real estate companies say supply will not keep up with demand and that will push prices even higher. i believe the economic situation has stabilized and it's again become very profitable to invest in real estate i'm sure we'll see further growth in demand as well as in property prices and the other issue is the lack of construction companies active on the global market and they say only an increase in the number of well financed builders committed to producing quality real estate can keep prices stable my only question are business r.t. . noel's nicol has announced he's appointing a new president under a cliché as this comes as russian tycoon has offered to buy rival vladimir portended out of the mining giant after accusing him of bad management therapy aska says he could make the world's largest nickel producer significantly more profitable through good leadership very pascoe's rafat and paternity into roles

a sentimental song by the purchases made manager of sort of the in the industry story does not really indicate there will be any actual changes in the actual production activity therefore we cannot really really developments in the p.m.i. indicators to be actually comforting. and of course this is only a manufacturing start to the g.d.p. . time now to check out the stock market here in moscow both of course is a finished monday session more than two percent in the black energy majors were back in the main game is because the price of light sweet help eighty dollars a barrel problem rolled those up three percent on the r.t.s. russian spending abroad this year is expected to exceed pre-crisis levels according to citibank international credit card spending is set to be more than eighteen percent one percent higher than last year and the most popular purchases include jewelry car rentals and medical services russian shoppers have already increased
