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 where 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 what 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's 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 these 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 there now surviving for more than a week already and 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 even worse say earlier in the morning when visibility was just three meters this but anyway we can still clearly feel that strong smile of burning and it's very hard to breathe the reason feeling like there is a lack of oxygen in basic and how facts praise saying that i have pollution is a very high sometimes in some parts of the city it is ten times higher than normal safety limits doctor is a saying that concentration of colborne and all the dangerous substances based so hard that prevent these airhead in most is equivalent to smoking to three packs of cigarettes in just a few are was with flies frightening across russia panic is told 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 that how are they concerned about it just in. the last two weeks has been 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 on fortunately these record breaking heat wave has been literally torture in russian its people to me but their worst news is that there is no new sign is going to stop anytime soon and mr oldest 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 there's so much 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. here the prognosis is of course as well a story we're covering all in our website our home page. also if you are affected by the story cuts have all the latest details as we know them and also got pictures there online as well so also on our you tube channel to. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says his country will take part 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 paul asli has the story. what we hearing is that in principle israel will agree to a united nations probe into the photo ready to back you made 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 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 the american officials where the is at the moment in new york that is what in principle when they 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 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 flotilla 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 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 say that in fact this for taylor wasn't humanitarian effort and it should have been allowed to pass through into gaza. correspondent in tel aviv. the ongoing whistleblower wiki leaks has followed up publishing of classified afghan war documents with an encrypted file and it's about one hundred times bigger than most of the other recently posted files no one's been able to decipher it yet it is laura tries to shed some light on the mystery. 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 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. it's an encrypted file. on the web site 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 so what they think will happen is that if any harm comes to do to ourselves 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 u.s. authorities in the fighting forces want 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. 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 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 this last week's leak of the eighty thousand files was one of the biggest sneaks in u.s. military history and that is. there were 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 later together 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 insurgents and their reports. really really detailed accounts of the try taking over the last six years and that it's notable in itself but the united states is still on track for pulling out troops from iraq by the end of august but it also hinted that the american presence would remain in the country for the foreseeable future but quote u.s. sacrifice would not in the water own country james. writer or mideast politics and security issues is on the line now from london thanks for being with this is appreciate it is it really the right time for the u.s. to get out of iraq do you think well it's interesting this is not a new policy the u.s. has has always been maturing in iraq as obama talked about today he was a harbinger of the speeding up of the process of withdrawing from iraq and handover

to a more combat support than a combat role in the coming months and should technically leave the country entirely by the end of next year what's interesting i think is that obama has always distance himself from the iraq war joe biden his vice president has been the emissary to iraq in recent months i think he's using this remind that he's the president to take u.s. troops out of iraq to to new the same amount of support for his war in afghanistan where last month the u.s. experienced the biggest loss of the war so far. the troops are gone are you confident the country will be able to stand on its feet politically. no i think security and politically is at stake in iraq it is a sort of irony that barack obama decided to make this announcement as iraq last month enjoy its worst month of violence for the past two years over five hundred people killed in shootings and bombings across the country so one thing you have in the rock is. of uncertainty and i feel that in terms of the government's ability to

make policy and its ability to secure its own people significantly compromised do you think we'll see economic stability and better security in the country soon and if so that's the million dollar question isn't it do you think that might come. well the fact is there was a dramatic increase in security in iraq following the u.s. led and what this did was essentially buy off parts of the insurgency to be part of the government and reduced expectations dramatically that reduced levels of violence significantly but there is there was the violence has been creeping up steadily again and these are partly linked to the fact that iraq's political elite have been given a system which was helped through the american drawing up of this constitution that ensures that all parties have to be within the system to form an effective government of national unity now considering the numbers of significant issues that have yet to be addressed in iraq whether it's the federalism law law or issues of national reconciliation it's simply impossible for these disparate parties to agree

on anything and they can't even agree on who to be in the cabinet and that's why we haven't had a government there for five months and if you don't have politics occurring within the parliament then it's invariable as a consequence of violence will occur outside of it. james then slow expert and writer of middle east politics security issues things being on the program. more news tonight the u.s. military chief rival mike mullen raged around by saying an attack on the country still possible if diplomacy fails to stop its nuclear ambitions president mahmoud ahmadinejad responded of a conference in turan on monday saying that military confrontation was not. something that iran was considering this all comes of course is the islamic nation faces new international sanctions driven by washington more on this tonight so let's cross to new york's a sound get a man these days founder of the iranian american political action committee thanks for being with us admiral mike mullen stated that the u.s. has an attack plan ready against iran if needed why do you think he made that

statement now what sort of effect is that going to have. well i think that the reason behind that statement and the reason for the timing of that is because the u.s. is concerned and the obama administration is concerned that as they pursue this sanctions policy that they are perceived to be pursuing an appeasement policy in a way that is going to fail and they feel that the whole sanctions track will be ineffective if they don't wield a credible military threat there's been some there was some internal deliberations within the administration and there was some concern that the iranians were not taking the threat of the u.s. military response seriously enough and so these comments are really directed to three different audiences one is towards iran obviously to try to use the carrot and stick approach and continue to use a carrot and stick approach and emphasize that that stake is real to the extent

that the iranians may not be taking it seriously under the obama administration as under the bush administration the second is to the domestic u.s. audience and in the u.s. there is some concern by many people that this this whole track the whole sanctions track is doomed to fail and so for the administration it's important especially with the elections coming up and so on not to be perceived as being weak on security and to hold this threat out seriously and finally the third target of course is the israelis and the israelis of course are concerned. that this this whole new sanctions process is just something that will buy the iranians more time and so they they want reassurance from the u.s. that kind of this threat is credible what this is not is not is a indication that there's anything imminent planned or anything different that's planned for now we think that november however maybe in maybe an interesting time

where things might come to a head and the reason why nothing's going to happen between now and november is one is political in the so i can is military on the political side the u.s. has gone to great pains to put together the united nations sanctions and they are really starting to feel that some of the not just the u.n. sanctions but more importantly the e.u. and the u.s. sanctions are starting to bite and they're going around trying to get the chinese and the emirates and various other players on board because it or they really need to let this play out on a political time to talk a little more about that's me just a resident of indonesia they said as well to me that he would like to publicly debate with president obama about global issues and solutions what are the chances at the end of the day that that meeting of minds could take place and what response we'd like to see from the obama side. there is zero

chance that that meeting of minds will take place u.s. president president obama cannot be seen as elevating president to a debate of equals here and domestically in the united states especially in the run up for the november elections if he's seen to be seen as taking what might be perceived as some sort of a bait from to sit down and discuss these issues where of course will bring up the issue of israel and u.s. relationship with israel and so on it will be a great liability for him to mess. so there is there is no plan the u.s. has had these offers from iran in the past and they have they have essentially ignored the let's talk about these latest u.s. led sanctions what kind of effect of a likely to have already in themselves and the relationship between iran and the international community. our world these sanctions are

in there for the fourth set of sanctions up to now the sanctions have been fairly ineffective in. really bringing iran to the table and there's some question whether these will be effective as well but what's different now as opposed to the previous saying shins is that the financial element of the sanctions is much much more stringent and that's where the u.s. having the acquiescence of the europeans that having the europeans on board has been especially important the u.s. iran has been able to conduct its business for since nine hundred seventy nine for over thirty years without any relationships with u.s. banks dealing with a lot of european banks the choking off of the banking system is critical. to putting pressure on the iranians and secondly it's not just the europeans but now there's a there's a there's a very strong effort to to to to clamp down on the emirates which is

a big financial flow destination in the center for iran and also china you have einhorn in china right now actually afraid we're out of prevent i'm afraid we're out of time we're about to lose you on the line there but your are your thoughts very interesting tonight thanks bring them along as you are a founder of the iranian american political action committee just under a month. he's interviewing the leak of pentagon papers forty years ago coming your way later this hour first a business something charlotte after a break. for the full story we've gone to. the biggest issues get a human voice ceased to face with the news maker. hello

and welcome to the business program hey on our say prices of russian real estate you're on the rebound even though the global economy has yet to emerge from the financial crisis mean a question of up 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 the process growing up the rises soon in every single sector from economy apartments to luxury homes here in this area is where this it is the most expensive apartment sell a case is the starting price of just one square meter tops thirty thousand dollars but this is not the upper limit it's the 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 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 i don't question our business r.t. . noel's nicol has announced he's appointing a new president under a cliché as this comes as russian tycoon. 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 producers significantly more profitable through good leadership their path goes rafat and paternity into roth her own blocking stake in the culture rich miner us who has worked at talent into ross for more than a decade what oversee strategy in a position. where prices in russia may rise to three hundred dollars per tonne as the drought has devastated fields and farmers delay sales according to group the
