people want to escape to the countryside that's where we should be very careful and cautious we must remember that one dropped match could result in disaster the government understands its unconditional responsibility the main task today is to help the victims get back to their normal lives as soon as possible as more than two thousand people have been left homeless there are a lot of children elderly and ill people among them have given instructions to the government and to regional authorities to allocate money to each and everyone who has incurred losses this money is already being allocated we must provide housing to everyone who has been left homeless all the should be done before it gets cold i want to sign certain contractors who will immediately get down to their work without any tenders the government will live up to its obligations people are already uniting to help those who have lost everything in a single moment that's common practice around the world which. 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 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 and the effects of these fires are even being felt in moscow where there is a thick heavy smog that's blanketing the city my colleague maria finishing us there smoke continues to blanket the russian capital in multiplied by this heat over thirty five degrees so this is it makes life here in the city just unbearable just challenging people say they're struggling they're now surviving to more than a week old already at the smoke from massive forests and people fires 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 in the war as an area 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 bring the reserve feeling like there is a lack of all to join in they say and how facts praise saying that evolution is a very high sometimes in some parts of the city it is ten times higher than normal safety limits doctor is a sign that concentration of kabul and all the dangerous substances based so hard that prevent these airhead in most curry is equivalent to smoking two holes three packs of cigarettes in just a few are was with flies frightening cross russia panic is full we need to money. people and the fear is a rising. over the impact it's going to have on 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 the how are they concerned about. 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 will plant pineapples on fortunately this record breaking heat wave has been literally torture in russian its people to me but their worst news is that there is never any sign is going to stop anytime soon and measure all this is saying that it will only intensify within the next few days and they say that the temperature could even reach up to forty one degrees so several temperature records how would have been registered in russia this summer maybe more to come and in this situation we have to be stronger and

have to protect ourselves as much as possible as it's obvious that this nightmare is far from over. well good advice for most divides russians of course it's a story we're following very closely on our home page as well and our you tube channel. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says his country will take part in a united nations investigation into the storming of the guards about a flotilla the u.n. said who generally 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 the story tonight. what we hearing is that in principle israel will agree to a united nations probe into the photo the raid back in may now this is unprecedented it's also significant because on the ninth of june these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is on record as saying that he will never allow an international probe that this states

a dangerous precedent and you need to remember of course that previous investigations have never had any kind of israel 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 where the is at the moment that is what in principle will agree to handing over papers and putting forward it's augmenting what happened in this gaza for the tele 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 pointing israeli ambassadors for some kind of explanation as to how they maybe had behaved in this process that 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 here 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 in turn 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 they may be in fact had to behave in such a way that it missed nine people dead but they. 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 also add on their point that there is a small voice within israel a voice that does support the international community's call for the lifting of the blockade with some israelis holding demonstrations and some israelis saying that in

fact this for taylor wasn't humanitarian if it and it should have been allowed to pass through into gaza. a correspondent in tel aviv here with r.t. in just 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 little apartment. before the 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 no one's been able to decipher it yet. more stress to shed some light on this latest mystery. 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 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 we want to hear it's 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 judy 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 were 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 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'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 public domain and of course it is shocking to see that information to

gather and percentage 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 or by making calling civilians in their reports. really detailed accounts of the fighting over the last six years and it's notable in itself. barack obama says the u.s. is still on track for pulling out troops from iraq by the end of august but he also hinted that an american presence would remain in the country for the forseeable future but the u.s. would not and the war torn country former cia agent philip giraldi says it's high time the u.s. going out of iraq. well i think it very definitely is the right the right decision in that the united states' continued presence in iraq is not really a stabilizing force i believe that the united states which role in fact 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 it is shorter than it was under saddam

hussein water supplies are bad so this has not been an unmitigated blessing in any sense for the iraqi people and my mind it's probably time for the united states to get out. and barack obama's a new potential confrontation on his hands after iran's president challenged him to a face to face media debate speaking at a conference in to iran mahmoud ahmadinejad also responded to a statement made by the u.s. is military chief during a talk show admiral mike mullen said a strike on iran is an option if diplomacy fails to stop iran's nuclear ambitions and said that military confrontation was not something around was considering this all comes as a round faces new international sanctions driven by washington over the islamic republic's nuclear program said mohammad marandi spoke to says from the university of tehran he says president some of the speech highlights around willingness for dialogue. but i think it's more symbolic what he's basically saying is that we

are willing to compare our ration rationality in our reasoning with american reasoning in american magick in front of a global audience in what he's basically saying is that americans are behaving unreasonably irrationally and dangerously whereas the iranians are looking for a way for solutions for example with the 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 peaceful americans and went along with it and at the same time. their position with regard to the united states is that to the two sides should resolve their issues peacefully the united states and tenuously in part certainly makes threats against the iranians. a couple top news stories in

brief french politicians and activists have expressed outrage over an online video of police forcibly removing women and children of african descent from a makeshift count these disturbing images show offices scuffling with immigrant squatters in paris and a pregnant woman lying on the ground being carried away another woman is pulled away while carrying a child on her back the police denied there were still violence. rescues in pakistan battling to reach twenty seven thousand people still stranded by the country's worst floods in eighteen years at least eleven hundred have died now and more than half a million desperately need help amid fears not is enough will spread among the homeless with water and food in short supply pakistan's army is committed thirty thousand troops to the rescue effort but it estimates rebuilding the damaged areas could take six months. the rich and fertile lands of hungary have long made it an enviable source for food production but farmers that

say that since joining the european union back in two thousand and four they've been losing business he's a lecturer geoff ski's been hearing about their plight. this is one of the biggest bird farms in hungary more than ten thousand geese 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 in the countries in western europe in the us we in hungary keeper birds in open spaces they claim an environment allows that that's why did the world a world produce a collage pure meat and eggs less than a decade ago helicarrier 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 it has been very hard for him to sell it because 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 that out

of the russian market i mean by are in favor of the market return now that you're 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 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 did he only wanted to get down get 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 in 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 it has brought little results 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 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 to extend it. a look see russia ski r.t. reporting from hungary the blue berets of russia's paratroopers afloat in the country's streets as the mob the eightieth anniversary of the unit and here in the capital about five thousand exhibits macgyver for the celebrations to wear because of the heat outside the russian authorities and one side is waiting to jump into fountains to cool off as you can see there they stood there with their trademark blue berets and stripey vests the red army was first to deploy the parents will say was part of the soviet union's airborne unit which was the largest in the world in its day is established in one nine hundred thirty eight when a dozen paratroopers jumped out of a plane upside moscow tricks and sides with our congratulations to those gentlemen . later this hour ongoing controversy over the u.s.

you're on the rebound even though the global economy has yet to a much more financial crisis mean a question of 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 see that on the basis of that of the growing. demand on the market could declare somewhat the developers could declare that the process growing 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 at the cases the starting price of just one square meter

tops thirty thousand dollars but this is not the upper limits that prices are expected to raise they've been 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 and i do not question our business r.t. . noel's nicol has announced he's appointing a new president under a cliche as this comes as russian tycoon. offered to buy rival vladimir portended
