medvedev is promising that the russian government are doing all within their power to make sure that these fires can be extinguished as quickly as possible. but the heat still here and the forecast. there for the threat of new fires persists the mob boss of signed a decree today announcing the emergency situation in a number of regions of our country which are hardest hit by the fires which is which in this but much will depend on our actions in the city it's difficult to stay in the city it's stuffy and very hot and people want to escape to the countryside that's where we should be very careful and cautious so i must remember that one dropped match could result is exhausted and the brits the government understands its unconditional responsibility a main task today is to help the victims get back to their normal lives as soon as possible. well more than a quarter of merely a quarter of a million of people have been involved in the effort to try and extinguish these fires that's including the fire brigade the military as well as volunteers who have
12:03 am
stepped in and it's very important that they try and do their best to get this puts out i mean where i'm stood it's quite easy to see just why everything can be so good if these fires being such a problem all of education completely dry bristled hope place is a complete tinder box and it's very important to make sure that people all if they don't do any kind of much is make sure that they can cause any more problems with these fires when kennett's hollin now as we've been hearing that from peach of the situation really is quite critical especially across russia's more southerly regions but how most scribblings feeling as the fall is begin to approach the capitol. hill greeting and most who has been very difficult for the past couple of days the air still feels very heavy ecologists are saying that right now the air in the russian capital is seven times more polluted than it usually is and doctors add to that that's breathing for a couple of hours is equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes some people are wearing face masks in order to decrease the poisonous small cars that they inhale
12:04 am
and of course the air conditioners and fans are all in the lobby to monday night here and people are queuing to get them and many a seller is actually trying to make money on that increasing the prices told them sometimes doubling or even tripling them a little do trees in the russian capital are burned down by sound and doctors are recommending those with lung problems and heart diseases to stay at home and to spend as little time in fresh air which is not at all fresh at the moment as possible so the situation that very bad in the capital is crossing back to you now piece of the scene you see those were full of pictures of fires ravaging the home villages were all for she's doing to help the victims. these five is. well prime minister vladimir putin this pledged a hundred thousand dollars to each family that have lost their homes in these
12:05 am
disasters and these fires that have been ravaging the country. they already received the expected that that money will be to give it out next by next week at the moment we're seeing that the initial payment is being given to those who most need a say maybe two thousand people lost their homes already due to these fires that show no sign of abating just yet but we are actually hearing reports that people are taking advantage of this terrible situation and setting fires themselves in order to try and get new homes we're also hearing of looting in these villages that have been being destroyed by fire people going in and trying to steal whatever they come that's left so see it's the government trying to best to to help people that are in trouble but obviously there is this this down this dark side to it of other people trying to take advantage of the situation and looking ahead to the future now in the town is there any hope in this heat wave is actually going to begin to
12:06 am
lessen what's the full cost is there any who. will unfortunately the forecasts are not very optimistic russia is praying for rain and of course so is moscow but away their services are saying that they will be some short rains in moscow today but this is only the all that we can hope for for now as temperatures are going to increase to over forty degrees during the day and right now at night in most cases it's still at about thirty degrees celsius so i know that many across the country are hoping for for now aussies peter all of our reporting from the mosque a region and the tally in the of of of there in the capital centered many. a day of mornings have been declared in a russian cause and all three to. in siberia following the deadly plane crash there in which eleven people died while the area's government says victims' families receive over sixty six thousand dollars in compensation for the tragedy fall guy is
12:07 am
suspected to be the main cause of the tragedy which happened as the ad was trying to land. we received information at nine thirty in the evening that in a tone of twenty four plane had crashed some seven hundred metazoa way bottom of the runway while trying to land we got these people are on board eleven passengers including a child and eleven people have died in the accident with for now being treated in hospital in the report suggests that three of the survivors are crew members and the child was a man those if one has been out and in this to gators and. all that was an emergency ministry spokesperson on the fatal plane crash in siberia it which eleven people dying. ok there's plenty more to come this hour last meeting new hopes to check she. children are here to have
12:08 am
a kidney problem and in the process they're trying to look forward to get the most that's why they're really wanting the last the visit some much needed facilities for treating children with kidney problems in the north caucasus. u.s. combat troops are withdrawing from iraq as promised spend fifty thousand will stay on to help iraqi forces president obama confirmed america will stick to its deadline of the end of this month but that the sacrifice is not yet james a dense allow a middle east politics and security says a bottomless promise is overshadowed by fresh violence in iraq. they will hand over to a more of a combat support than a combat role in the coming months and 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
12:09 am
emissary to iraq in recent months i think he's using this reminder that he's the president to take us troops out of iraq to continue 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 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 of the rock is certainty of of uncertainty and i feel that both in terms of the government's ability to make policy and its ability to secure its own people both significantly compromised and maybe another struggle coming president obama's way after iran's leaders challenge him to a face to face t.v. debate it all is a statement by top u.s. that a strike against iran could not be ruled out as he's made a point i have the details for us from new york. we should mention that president
12:10 am
ahmadinejad has made this offer and presented this offer in the past in the past few years to obama last year and to his predecessor george w. bush 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 given up this story all the very popular blogs on the internet have taken this story its main 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 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
12:11 am
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 countries of 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 the founder of the iranian american political committee says the upcoming u.s. should is among a number of big schools in america to get. these comments are really directed to three different audiences one is towards iran obviously and to try to use the carrot and stick approach and continue to use the carrot and stick approach and emphasize that that stake is real to the extent that the iranians may not be
12:12 am
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. . well russia. by the thought of who sits on the international affairs committee but whatever goal the u.s. is pursuing it's treading a dangerous path and we'll hear more in around twenty minutes time but here's just
12:13 am
some of what he had to say. we've been worried about recent talks on possible attacks on iran or a war with iran this is a serious problem we can't ignore the fact that they're trying to destabilize the situation not only by economic sanctions but by ethical means as well iran is a multiethnic seventy million people country destabilisation attempt is rather dangerous. to other news now and arabs living in israel say more and more laws are being brought in which actively discriminate against jews and human rights campaigners believe that racism extends beyond muslims as long as he's paul is clear reports one recent bill forces perspective citizens to declare loyalty to a jewish and democratic state. they're just back from touring the
12:14 am
states with a protest music found sympathetic ears among jews and arabs they go by the name of damn blood and they're the first arab israeli hip hop group to rap in arabic hebrew and english their lyrics are bold and demand better treatment for arab israelis who they say are treated as second class citizens live in money saying. they want to take the i was out for the loud and people elected them so it's not the government that they are i mean this is the face of the people like what started first i don't know but this is the situation ever seems like they elected gangsters and so whites groups agree they say it's official the current israeli government is the most racist in israel's history. two hundred ninety six instances of all races are not just against arabs there's also a significant rise in racism against other with russians ethiopians and. i believe
12:15 am
that israel is a racist country. it's bills disaster for the state of israel already at least twenty one bulls that arab citizens against a school just schoolmate against them have been past the most recent perspective citizens now have to swear allegiance to a jewish and democratic state changing the whole discourse in israel now into one in which the assumption is that palestinians are not loyal they have should have no rights they have to prove their loyalty and so this is very much part about wholesale same kind of move the first victims of this this legislative drive will be the palestinian parliament members who are because one of them she's one of thirteen arab parliamentary members out of one hundred twenty she says it's a daily struggle for arabs to be treated equally even the most liberal israeli parties often struggle to support them in the first part. is to keep the position in the coalition government this is the house all. week it is still
12:16 am
against the us this government has no vision not just for pieces of the c.e.o.'s this ship but also has the speed with its own citizens but in its defense the same israeli cabinet approved the largest economic development plan for arabs this industrial park is the brainchild of stephan. a jewish israeli millionaire who's joined hands with shockey the former mayor of the largest arab city in israel nazareth. the arabs are not participating in industry they have stayed in the profession we want to bring arabs into the circle of industry and my vision is that five years from now there will be twenty twenty five production factories here but that regime is being tested because although parliamentarians still need to vote on the proposed amendments to the citizenship law another ball that has already been passed includes threatening to cut off funding to institutions that support the
12:17 am
palestinian version of the one nine hundred forty eight war and now the ball criminalizes and denying israel's right to be called a jewish state which is why they'll be no shortage of lyrics anytime soon and the music will wrap on. our t.v. israel. and there's much more on our website www dot com of course they. can't show online. thousands of bras and be the one place that you need all of us during the last days gorky park. on the russian biker rally which premier. prime minister better get putin i'd say.

now and parents discover that their child is ill they'll do all in their power to make them well again but in regions in russian regions that the chechen republic getting treatment for serious conditions that has kidney disease meant having to travel to moscow that's something that many families just can't afford now the only visitors you mean vital medical care is within reach r.t. died as a how the story it's been a year since her adopted baby girl died but lady said she still mourning she's always looking at the pictures of her girl when she was in hospital the only memory she has no she was more than a child she was in a time of this so we think about her all the time my mom still crying. a little harder to get around so when most old marshall was brought to this hospital with acute kidney failure the doctors did their best to save the girl but
12:19 am
with the special equipment to purify the plant there was no hope it was a shame to see a child who couldn't help muslim has been working at the hospital for three years during that time ten children have died from acute kidney disease. this new equipment was installed four months ago to dock to say it will support due suffering from renal failure until the moment they'll be able to find a donor kidney the last patient was treated here for two months before going into more school for transplant. i don't think it matters that these machines are not being used right now what really matters is that they really do accept patients and help them at least a little bit. the children's hospital in the center of the chechen capital has eleven departments which makes it one of the biggest in the north caucasus people from all over the region come here for medical care but the center for the treatment of kidney problems makes it special children are whole kids if they had
