people want to escape to the countryside that's where we should be very careful and cautious but we must remember that one dropped match could result in disaster the government understands its unconditional responsibility our 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 little people among them have given instructions to the governments 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 will assign certain contractors who will immediately get down to their work without any changes 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. but for now

firefighters about one hundred eighty thousand of them are going from scene to scene trying to put out fires and getting help from the military but the problem is the weather not only is it excessively hot we're we're seeing temperatures but this heat also sparking fires in fields and the winds are taking these fires and displacing them around so firefighters are going to one fade 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 what we are hearing from ecologist 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 a blanketing the city my colleague maria the national they're small continues to blanket the russian capital and multiplied by this 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 old already though the smoke from a massive forest 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 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 still it's very hard to breathe the reason feel like there is a lack of oxygen in this era and how facts praise saying that pollution is a very high sometimes in some parts of the city it is a ten times higher than normal safety limits doctor is a sign that the concentration of colborne and all the dangerous substances is so hard that britain these airhead in most go is equivalent to smoking two three packs of cigarettes in just a few are was with why is fred the cross russia panic is full we need them on

people and the fear is a rising power over the impact is going to have own people's condition on people's health we have been able to speak to some people here on the streets of moscow does not listen to what they have to say about that how are they concerned about it doesn't 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 will plant pineapples bomb fortunately these record breaking heat wave has been literally kosher in russian it's people to major in but their worst news is that there is never any sign is going to stop anytime soon and measure alters 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 problem and in this situation you know we have to be stronger and have to protect ourselves as much as possible as it's the base. is far from over. a small passenger plane has crashed in russia's close and they asked region in siberia while trying to land and rain their mattresses ministry says eleven people have been killed with four in hospital what. we received information at nine thirty in the evening that an untold of twenty four plane had some seven hundred meters away from the runway a while trying to learn and people were on board eleven passengers including a child and four crew eleven people have died in the accident with for now being treated in hospital preliminary reports suggest that three of the survivors are crew members and the child was among those killed the fire has been out and in this

to gators unknown working in the sea. that was a spokesperson for the emergency ministry on the fatal plane crash in siberia in which eleven people have died. here with our c.n.n. in just a few moments food for four. hours in hungary you say they're being starved of business by e.u. policies and that's the country's being treated as a call me rather than a pawn no at all so. we can expose an encrypted file with no king it was appears to be a p.r. stunt after the afghan war disclosures come as no surprise. and the surprise move israel has agreed to cooperate with the united nations inquiry into its military attack and i got a bound aid flotilla in may un secretary-general ban ki moon and alan's the investigation up to ninety activists were killed by israeli commanders at sea the

resulting international outrage may have influenced israel's change of heart on involvement in a un investigation which it had previously opposed. to explain. what we hearing is that in principle it's all we'll 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 american officials wait years at the moment in new york that is not in principle will agree to handing over papers and putting forward it's augmenting what happened in this gaza flotilla raid it seems that international

pressure has played its part the diplomatic fallout was unprecedented you had demonstrations a mosque just 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 tell it was a humanitarian aid if they believe that they were a significant number of militants onboard especially aboard 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 i mean to 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 are the way of the 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 the the it's a was legitimate most israelis believing that it was and i want to go also 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 flotilla wasn't humanitarian if it and it should have been allowed to pass through into gaza. barack obama says the u.s. is on track to withdraw all combat troops from iraq by the end of august but he also hinted an american presence would remain in the country for the foreseeable future saying the u.s. sacrifice had not yet ended and james downs for right what middle east policy is and security says obama however is trying to act as if the iraq war is not his

business. the u.s. has has always been withdrawn from iraq as a bomber talked about today he was. sure of the speeding up of the process of drawing from iraq they will hand over to a more of a combat support than a combat role in the coming months a mission 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 reminder that he's the president to take u.s. troops out of iraq to come 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 it's a sort of irony that barack obama decides to make this announcement as iraq last month enjoyed 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. to feel that in terms of the government's ability to make

policy and its ability to secure its own people significantly compromised and obama has a new potential confrontation on his hands iran's president challenge him face to face debate speaking in tehran and then it out also dismissed we can't comments by the top u.s. military officer that has strike against iran could not be ruled out if diplomacy fails to contain the country's nuclear ambitions mary now put now has the latest from new york. we should mention that president ahmadinejad has made this offer and presented this offer in the past in the past few years to obama or into his predecessor george w. bush and of course washington has rejected the offer that has come from the iranian president it is highly unlikely that the president of the united states would sit down for face to face with the president of iran especially with cameras surrounding them for a televised debate but what is so surprising about it is the fact that it continues

to make news all the u.s. mainstream media outlets have picked up this story all the very popular blogs on the internet have taken this story it's made headlines and what it really does prove is that the president of iran continues to be something of a mastermind of u.s. media look at the realities that are taking place right now we've seen at the u.n. as you mentioned past four rounds of sanctions against iran the most recent ones to take place in the early june after that the united states and the european union passed unilateral sanctions additional financial sanctions and embargo against iran and iran has not changed its course it is continuing to enrich uranium which it says is being done for peaceful purposes when i did sit down with the president of iran he assured me that iran will not halt its nuclear program because he says that it's entitle the country the title to have a program for peaceful purposes and he said it doesn't matter how many sanctions are passed so we see that there have been international sanctions placed against

iran one after another after another and iran has not changed its course. and. reining in american political action committee has been statement was intended to display military might. 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 stick is real to the extent that the iranians may not be taking it as seriously under the obama administration as under the bush administration the second is to the domestic us audience and in the u.s. there is some concern by many people that this whole track of the whole sanctions track is doomed to fail and so i didn't stray sure 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 is something that will buy the iranians more time and so they they want reassurance from the u.s. . a decade ago hungary's soil and climate made the country ahead of agricultural production but since joining the european union in two thousand and four farmers have suffered a shell foreign business. has been exploring why. 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 and we can trees in western europe in the u.s. we in hungry keeper birds in open spaces want to climb in an environment allows that

that's why did the world produce a collage you can keep your meat in erik's 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 this dock farm asked to seek other markets including japan and china it has been very hard for him to sell it because on the 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 buyer in favor of the market return now that you're apart from france wasn't interested in our products this seriously in fact the demand and farm owners had to secure their stock because according to new regulations keeping it was too costly 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. brussels have a special program to develop regional agriculture and which promise 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. or in 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 former 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 love to extend it looks erosion of ski r.t.

reporting from hungary. the whistleblower website wiki leaks has for followed up publication of thousands of classified american are going to war documents by putting a new math a file on the internet it's about one hundred times bigger than the other recently posted a top secret dossier but no one has been able to open it so far as its encrypted speculation is rife over what the fire may contain as are his lore and it reports. we know very little about this file we do know it's one point four gigabytes which is quite a large file and as you say. 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. expose 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 or any of his team 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. 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 just as it was 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 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 but then that they were all of a sudden the public domain and of course it is shocking to see that information to gather and presented for everybody to see but yes there has been some talk that there wasn't really anything new in it we do know that civilians were dying we did know that the soldiers on the ground were covering up the rate at which civilians were being killed either by just playing down the numbers or by making calling

civilians insurgents in their reports. that were in these really detailed accounts of reply to them over the last six years and that is noticeable and it's. on the back with the headlines soon but first a moment those leaks of classified documents on the u.s. operation in afghanistan i'll see now talks to american investigative journalist neil. secret pentagon papers about the vietnam war forty years ago.

first it was u.s. troops killing civilians and journalists in iraq now more than ninety thousand classified documents about the war in afghanistan have been obtained by the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks and while this is being called the biggest leak in intelligence history this isn't the first time that important military information has been released to the press and public i'm here with neil sheehan former new york times reporter who released the famous pentagon. paper is which forever changed the american public's perception of the vietnam war mr she had first of all a lot of people are comparing this story with the pentagon papers story but one major difference between the two is that the source in this case went to a relatively new and modern web site wiki leaks as opposed to in your situation the source came to you working for an established newspaper the new york times what do you think that says about the state of the media today is there any sort of significance we can draw from that especially when it comes to maybe investigative

reporting well you know you can of course it's an electronic age we're entering but the you can't compare this to the pentagon papers it's not the same thing it's apples and oranges the pentagon papers was a major it was a it was not just a leak leak it was a flood obviously like this but after that. there's no comparison the pentagon papers was a record of decision making on the war in vietnam at the highest level. it was the secrets of the president and secretary of defense the secretary of state it was not time to go material it was nothing in it of any military security value it was full of major historical secrets and scandals this material that wiki leaks has leaked to the press is on the ground military stuff it's the nitty gritty of the war it's it's it's values it's tangibility about

a war it's all but it's not high level decision making it's on the ground stuff but when you look beyond the information the source or the informant or whatever you want to call it felt more comfortable perhaps giving the information to julian assange the founder of wiki leaks as opposed to giving it directly to a newspaper like the new york times or the guardian or is there anything significant about that do you think well it will have to see. i mean it could be a pattern of it he could just as well just as easily have given it to a newspaper and it would depend on the person he probably was attracted to because i had heard previously use that material about an american helicopter gunships shooting firing in an ambush in iraq and some civilians were killed in that incident and maybe he felt that our side would would help him more. it looks like what's what's incredible about this is that the military who are who are now saying

. is putting informants in danger which he may have done the times and the guardian and and we were very were very careful beagle to take out the names of informants probably in the original documents there are names of informants the military are incredibly curious to put this stuff on almost virtually on line within their own system apparently all of this could have come from one soldier who obtained. when i was in vietnam the names of form it would be would be it would be very carefully guarded you not many people would be able to get at that kind of material military seems to have gotten very careless again because they're trying to gauge or maybe you put this thing all within their system anybody can look it up and anybody can

download it it's incredible and you know we're talking about the electronic age and how kind of releasing information is so different today than it was you know thirty forty years ago but at the same time julian assange should then went to the new york times and the guardian very established kind of mainstream news organizations to release the information that he had received why was it important for him to kind of pair up with these traditional mainstream news organizations when it came to released. the information as opposed to maybe doing it himself because this material if he just dumped this material out there on the internet let's say it's in comprehensible ninety thousand or ninety two thousand pages of documentation to the average person it's absolutely income perhaps where he had to give it to somebody if he was going to be effective with it and it seems when it comes to the coverage of this whole wiki leaks stories the news channel seem to be obsessed with who is julianna songe and what was his motivation as opposed to perhaps the

information that was actually in the documents what do you make of that kind of coverage and the scrutiny of the chilian astonish has been placed under well he was bound to get there and he was going to be under the heat the military and institutions are going to get. to get angry over this and this is a major embarrassment to these people that. a leak on this scale would occur particularly to apparently contain sensitive you know names of informants that could get people killed. so they were bound to go after him but that doesn't negate the validity of the information of the documentation people who make leaks like this whoever leaked it and the science who distributed. always have an axe to grind. and that's why they're they're taking their action that's

why they're taking the risk so what you have to look at is how valid is this material to get some of what your kids make this up in a cellar or is this really military information. that gives you that maybe going to the tent that makes the war more tangible nothing in there is far as i could see had been previously revealed what that meant to the guys it's just how difficult. how difficult the environment is to work in you know. who trusts in your dealing with a corrupt with with a corrupt government is the american public got to remember has very little contact with the reality of the war. that we don't have a draft anymore the sons of the middle class are not being drafted to being sent off to war to be the soldiers in afghanistan or young men and women who joined because they they either want to be a soldier or marine or because they think they're going to get

a college education and they'll survive it won't have they won't catch a board they won't catch an explosive it won't happen to them so the middle class just as. except financially which they don't see directly because it's you comes out of their taxes they're not connected to the well mr she had i want to thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. and again this is live from moscow for a quick check of the headlines. popping blazes a state of the natural state has been declared in seven regions across russia where wildfires have claimed up to see what's in line with that of course for the nation

to unite and the pace of it is also. to pressure israel agrees to cooperate with an international effort to get into the country's deadly storming of a trip in may. president. challenges broadcast face off debate on t.v. as america's top military mind refuses to a lot of talk against iran over its nuclear. plus the only line whistleblower we can leaks is seven massive encrypted file and what some say the p.r. stunt it follows is the closure of cover ups. that's the headlines up next to an american computer program that claims he was given a high level request to aid of voter fraud and helped swing the two thousand and four election in george w. bush's favor that's how special report right now here we're not seeing. in

fact in the states that had electronic voting the numbers didn't match at all with the exit polling but in states where they had paper but you know exit polls in the final results were almost perfect i have no doubt john kerry won the election in ohio ok john kerry won the election in ohio john kerry would we president certain decided that those exit polls were so far off. just didn't happen something else happened so the yang folks. harassing maybe are getting d.o.t. to harass me this plan is fired at ten in the morning i'm tired at like two two thirty that afternoon and that is investigating this company instead of putting a putting the brakes on what's going on there actually writing letters of recommendation for that company wrecked yang correct and saying that you're removed correct tom finis fingerprints are all over this now yes lou.
