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 and as more than two thousand people have been left homeless. there are a lot of children elderly ill people among them have given instructions to the government and the regional authorities to allocate money to each and everyone who has and could 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 done 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 they're getting help from the military but the problem is the weather not only is it excessively hot we're here 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 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 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 is a thick heavy smog that's a blanketing the city my colleague mary of the national their 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 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 going down the central russian cities it's been even worse and earlier in the morning when visibility was just three meters 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 year and how facts praise saying that air pollution is served very hard 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 prevent these terror here in most cases is a cruel into smoking to hold three packs of cigarettes in just a few are was with fire is frightening 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 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 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 was 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 rage up to four to one. so several temperature records have been

registered in russia they saw much maybe more to. a situation you know we have to be stronger and have to protect ourselves as much as possible as it's all best but this. is far from over. flight recorders have been recovered from the site of a passenger plane crash in siberia in which eleven people have died four people are being treated in hospital after the accident in russia's close and yards created a fog a suspected as a possible cause of the tragedy which happened as the aircraft was attempting to land. we received information it's nine thirty in the evening an untold of twenty four plane had crashed some seven hundred meters away from the runway a while trying to land people who were on board eleven passengers including a child and 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 that the child was among those killed the fire has been put out and in this the gaiters unknown working in the sea. that was a spokesperson for the emergency ministry on the fatal plane crash in siberia and which eleven people have died. without seeing just a few moments food for thought obviously. being starved of business by you paula says that the country is being treated as a colony rather than a partner and also. wiki leaks post an encrypted file with no kidding it was appears to be a p.r. stunt after the afghan war disclosures come as no surprise. in a surprise move a zero has agreed to cooperate with the united nations inquiry into its military attack on a gaza bound aid flotilla in may. secretary general ban ki moon and as the investigation after nine turkish i. of its work by israeli commandos at sea the resulting

international outrage may have influenced israel's change of heart on involvement in the yuan investigation which would have previously their proposed policy explains. what we hearing is that in principle israel will agree to a united nations probe into the photo ready to back you 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 the state's 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 hearing now is that the israeli prime minister has tossed his defense minister to tell american officials where the is at the moment in new york that is what in principle will agree to having other papers and putting forward its

augment and 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 process that and here in israel 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 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 turned the israeli military probe it questioned and it actually put forward this is . it's time 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 rift nine people dead but they 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 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 which some israelis holding demonstrations and some israelis say that in fact this for to the wasn't humanitarian effort and it should have been allowed to pour through into gaza. barack obama says the u.s. is on track to withdraw troops from iraq by the end of the month but he also hinted that an american presence remaining in the country will be the forseeable future saying the u.s. sacrifice had not had an did and. george mason university near washington d.c. believes that while it's unclear if iraq your forces can do without them americans

withdrawal is still the best option. it's very likely that when the troops withdraw the situation will get worse rather than better. the situation on the ground. it's just not in the place where a troop withdrawal is going to leave a stable government behind at the same time troop withdrawal is most likely it's a good decision because this troops in baghdad are not really contributing and great weight at the security situation in fact they are even enduring it by their presence creates more division within the within the camps and ultimately it is itself a target for defiance. and obama has a new potential confrontation of his hands after iran's president challenged him to face to face debate speaking in tehran mahmoud ahmadinejad also dismissed the

weekend comments by the top u.s. military officer that a strike against iran could not be rolled out if diplomacy fails to contain the country's nuclear ambitions marina point neither 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 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 countries entitle 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. this is sound to you condo the iranian american political action committee so as admiral mullen statement was intended to displayed move the tree 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 seriously under the obama administration as under the bush administration by 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 is important especially with the elections coming up and so on not to be perceived as being weak on security to hold this threat out seriously and finally the third target of course is the israelis and israelis of course are concerned that this this whole new sanctions process is just something that will by the iranians more time and so

they they want reassurance from the u.s. . let's check some other stories making headlines right now around the world french politicians and activists have expressed outrage over an online video police forcibly removing women and children of african descent from a makeshift counts these disturbing images show offices with immigrant scooters and power is under pregnant woman lying on the ground being carried away another woman is holdaway while carrying a child on her back please denied. violence. seven people have died after indian troops fired on a huge demonstration in kashmir and some of the worst of violence seen in two months so proud has tens of thousands of posts to india of all of the region taken to the street before the soldiers fired live rounds into the crowds around sixty demonstrators were hurt while seventy police and army were injured talks are under way with local leaders and the indian government in an effort to diffuse the.

worsening crisis. a decade ago hungary's soil and climate made the country a hub of agricultural production but since joining the european union in two thousand and four films have suffered a shunt 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 sas his land is perfect for this kind of business only countries in western europe and the us we in hungary keep or birds in open spaces want to climb in an environment allows that that's why did the world produce a collage 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 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 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 that 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 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 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. 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 allow budapest to extended alexy russia of ski r.t. reporting from hungary. the whistleblower website of wiki leaks has followed up publication of thousands of classified american and afghan war documents by putting a new massive file on the internet it's about one hundred times bigger than the

other recently posted top secret dossier but no one has been able to open it so far as it's been scripted speculation is rife over what the file may contain as aussies lore and that reports. we know very little about this file we do know it's one point four gigabytes which is quite a large file 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. on the website so obviously we're not meant to be able to. experts all the experts in the business is saying that is that one posts a file like this when one feels under threat it's in some way what they think will happen is that if any harm comes to do to national or any of his possibly even the website itself then the key will be sent out posters on the website and everybody will be able to open it and it will reveal some sort of huge secret we should also

examine the possibility that this is a publicist the start and if you just look at the timing. 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 this last week's leak of the eighty thousand files was one of the biggest leaks in u.s. military history and that is notable about 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 it and that they were all of a sudden the public to me 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 were being killed either by just playing down the numbers or by making calling civilians in. reports. really detailed accounts of the

pricing over the last six years and it's noticeable and it's. back with the headlines very soon but first more of those leaked classified documents on u.s. operations in afghanistan talks to american investigative journalist. who published 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 process in public i'm here with neil sheehan former new york times reporter who released the famous pentagon papers 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. as to maybe investigative reporting well yes 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 beyond that there's no comparison the pentagon papers was a record of the 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 tactical 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 its values it's tangibility about the war itself 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 is the founder of wiki leaks as opposed to giving it directly to a newspaper like the new york times or the guardian is there anything significant about that to a bank 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 had previously used 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. military who are who are now saying it was putting informants in danger which he may have done other times and the guardian and were very were very careful spiegel to take out the names of informants probably in the original documents there are names of it forms the military are incredibly curious to put this stuff almost virtually online within their own system apparently all of this could have come from one soldier who obtained. when i was in. the names of the form it would be would be it would be very carefully guarded you not many people would be able to get that kind of material notoriously got very careless again because of the electronic age or maybe you put this thing

all within their system and 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 releasing the information as opposed to maybe doing it himself because this material if he just dumped this material out there on the internet. it's in comprehensible ninety thousand or ninety two thousand pages of documentation to the average person it's absolutely income perhaps what 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 channels 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 actually an astonished 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 we're bound to get angry over this and this is a major embarrassment to these people that the 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 the documentation people who make leaks like this whoever leaked it and the science who distribute it. always have an axe to grind. and that's why they're they're taking that they're that action

that's where they're taking the risk so what you have to look at is how valid is this material to get some a bunch of kids make this up in a cellar or is this really military information. that gives you that maybe gritty the tank that makes the war more tangible nothing in there is far as i could see had been previously revealed what that material does is it shows how difficult. how difficult the environment is to work in you don't know who to trust and you're 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 there we don't have a draft anymore the sons of the middle class are not being drafted to be sent off to war occurred in vietnam the soldiers in afghanistan are 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 edgy. they will catch a board they won't care to be explosive it won't happen to them so. 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 and i want to thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. but our again this is all see coming to live from moscow the headline. blazes a state of emergency has been declared in seven regions across russia well wildfires have claimed up to fourteen lives the president made a bed of coals for the nation to good night in the face of the disaster. vowing to

pressure israel agrees to cooperate with an international investigation into the country's deadly storming of a gaza bound a ship and may. the rounds president challengers. face off debate on t.v. as america's top military man refuses to rule out unarmed time against taliban over its nuclear program. plus the only law the whistleblower wiki leaks posts a massive and script to file which some say is a p.r. stunt what's save the os thought i should say it follows its disclosure of a lot. of the headlines up next is this part light interview. vote for bush. always adds by one vote for kerry for

kerry so the people that are going to be validating this machine can stand there all day long and vote for somebody and it will be right every time but the guy can walk up here and if he hits the right buttons he can flip the boat that he's. hello again and welcome to spotlight the interview show note see i'm al green of and they will be talking about a russian super car. this fall i russian company called martyr's presenting its first ambitious project a sports car when we say the name of the new brad could mean that the russians are making another effort to.
