2:03 am
these fires that have raged across the country seven russian regions already declared a state of emergency and it's quite easy to see why because these fire is continuing to to the fact that everything is so drive you have a look at everything around where i am here in the moscow region everything completely dry it's like a tender box here even the smallest the smallest cost way much of the smallest spark could ignite yet another fire so the one of the main jobs this is those to make sure that not only the fires that are currently lives are being put out but that no more a star says ok thanks peter as closely written the tally and now and tell me as we were hearing that the situation across russia really reaching critical point now but how a most crippling speeding up as the fire is approached the capital. will be leaving in moscow has been very difficult in the past couple of days if you get flight lee better during the day but overnight most grease completely covered with white small getting colleges are saying that air pollution in the city right now is seven times

2:05 am
those most in need is already being received not all we are hearing though is that in some of these villages that have been completely destroyed as part of the some fires may have been started deliberately in order to try and claim this compensation money and also in another dark you know we're also hearing of of looting taking place in these villages so whatever hasn't been down is ending up being stripped by people going in and trying to take whatever they can that's been left by the fire reading the pictures that we're seeing there as well as villages on the fire the situation really is quite desperate now isn't an italian in the capital again now any hope that this heat wave is going to lessen soon what's the full cost. almost by it's our last rain for one big rain to fall in this city unfortunately weather forecasts saying that there will be couple of short rains during the day today that are not going to be any really bring any relief to muscovite they're also predicting that temperatures are going to go up even higher
2:06 am
over forty degree celsius i joined the day and sometimes at night in moscow the temperatures reach thirty degrees right now so does look like moscow he's going to stay one big of an for a while now. all of our reporting from the mosque a region. in the capital found that. now wednesday will be a day of mourning and rushes. inside bay area following the deadly plane crash which local doctors say has claimed eleven lives well the area's governor says victims' families will receive over sixty six thousand dollars in compensation for the tragedy. fog is suspected to be the main cause of the tragedy which happened as the aircraft was trying to land. we received information at nine thirty in the evening that an untold of twenty four plane had crashed some seven hundred meters away from the runway a while trying to land fifteen people were on board eleven passengers including
2:07 am
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 that the child was among those killed the fire has been put out and in this to gators and now working at the scene. that was an emergency ministry space path on the fatal plane crash in siberia in which eleven people died. ok there's plenty more to come this hour on. new hopes for chechen parents. children of ok if they had a kidney problem in the past. that's why didn't dare really she said enough. r.c. visits a march needed between children with kidney problems in the north caucuses. u.s. combat troops withdrawing from iraq as promised fifty thousand will stay on to help
2:08 am
iraqi forces president of america will stick to a deadline of the end of this month but the sacrifice is not yet over james that denzel our writer on middle east policy security says obama's promise is overshadowed by fresh violence in iraq. 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 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 continue the same amount of support for his war in afghanistan where 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 in jordan its worst month of violence for the past two years over five
2:09 am
hundred people killed in shootings and bombings across the country so one thing you have of the rock is. 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 significant be compromised. and there may also be a struggle coming president obama's way to challenge him to a face to face t.v. debate it follows the. u.s. military is that a strike against iran could not be ruled out poor details 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 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
2:10 am
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 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 it's 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
2:11 am
iran one after another after another and iran has not changed it's course. the founder of the it rainin american political action committee says the upcoming u.s. mid-term election is among a number of things causing american rhetoric to get fired up. 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 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 didn't support and especially with the
2:12 am
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 by the iranians more time and so they they want reassurance from the u.s. . russian m.p. . far off he sits on the international affairs committee but is whatever goal the u.s. is pursuing is treading a dangerous path forward here more in about twenty minutes time on that but his just a quick taste 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 destabilization 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 in the human rights campaign is believe that racism extends beyond muslims as are clear reports one recent bill forces the perspective citizens to clear loyalty to a jewish and democratic state. they're just back from two in the states with a protest music found sympathetic ears among jews and arabs they go by the name of dam or 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 of money saying.

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 of that whole set 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 fourteen arab parliamentary members out of one hundred twenty six she says it's a daily struggle for arabs to be treated equally even the most liberal israeli parties often struggle to support them the first priority is to keep their position in the coalition government it think this is the how. this will be in the us this government has no vision that's just not pieces of the c.e.o.'s of the bench but also vision of peace 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 vet

a jewish israeli millionaire who has joined hands with sharkey the former mayor of the largest arab city in israel nazareth but at the moment the arabs are not participating in industry in israel they have stayed in the professions we want to bring arabs into the circle of industry and my vision is that five years from now there will be twenty to twenty five production factory. here but that vision is being tested because although parliamentarians still need to vote on the proposed amendments to the citizenship law another bill that has already been passed includes threatening to cut off funding to institutions that support the palestinian version of the nine hundred forty eight or another 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 policy on our t.v. israel. and of course there's much more from us on our website at www dot com
