we've been all the same to be standing is you might be able to see in the background what is the chimney stacks from people's fireplaces and this is a thing typical all around this area from where i am right now where president medvedev and the rest of the government have been saying that they're going to do everything they can everything in their power to try and put these fires out and bring normality back to people's lives. but the heat still here and the forecast of bleak there for the threat of new fires persists i've signed a decree today announcing the emergency situation in a number of regions of our country which are hardest hit by the fires but much will depend on our actions it's difficult to stay in the city it's stuffy and very hot people want to escape to the countryside that's where we should be very careful and cautious we must remember that one dropped match could result in disaster and 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. well

nationwide a quarter of a million people are involved in trying to put these fires out and make sure that they don't spread any further now how it is right here it's very oppressive with the smoke very thick smoke everywhere very difficult to breathe and very stinging on the eyes as well the situation the moment doesn't look like the ground or all around me still is still smoldering it doesn't look like it's going to be clearing up any time soon ok many thanks for the let's call so you see this tony at how well most of the lights feeling and all this is the family is back pretty begin to approach the capital. breathing in most what has been quite difficult over the past couple of days it gets slightly better during the day but overnight to stay clear of small arms and covers most of it it is almost impossible to see anything ecologists are saying that the level of pollution in the city right now is seven times higher than it usually is and doctors are adding that breathing in most

though right now for a couple of hours alone can be equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes that is why some people are choosing to wear face masks in order to reduce the amount of this boys and air that they inhale of course air conditioners and fans are in great demand right now and shops shows in the shops are simply empty because everything is sold out and some people are even trying to make money out of others people's misery by ridiculously increasing the prices on those area conditioning and conditioners and fans a lot of burned trees in the city center as well and doctors are recommending those with lung diseases and heart diseases to stay at home and to spend as little time outdoors as possible and peace awards all of you all for she's doing to help the five victims that we've seen in villages across the south in the regions in russia . as prime minister vladimir putin has pledged one hundred thousand dollars for each family of lost homes and they are expected to receive the money next week

those that are worst case and in most need of financial help to do that have received an additional payment of a couple of hundred dollars already this week so if the help is already starting to get them to the financial help what we are also hearing though is that people are taking advantage of the situation in this alleged use of the word was starting fires of their own accord in order to try and claim this compensation money we're also hearing of looting going on in villages that have been destroyed by fire where we are right now is a very very strong police presence offices on the underground the streets making sure that nobody is doing anything untoward while this tragedy occurred oh ok any hope that he wave is going to lessen soon is there any relief on the way what's the full cost. of course most of all it's are hoping for a heavy rain to fall in the city to clear help it's cool it down and clear the air

however what weather services are not predicting any heavy rain they're only pretty good short term rains maybe during the day and later in the week and they're also predicting where the heat to go up to over forty degrees celsius during the day right now the temperature at night alone reaches over thirty degrees so it does look like must be going to stay one big all been for a while right many thanks to both of you that was almost all of a report for the mosque a region an italian capital center. wednesday will be a day of mourning and russia's. siberia following the deadly plane crash which local doctors say has claimed eleven lines will be areas governesses victims' families will receive 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. well that's a very we received information at nine thirty in the evening that an untold of twenty four planes had crashed some seven hundred meters away from the runway a while trying to land the fifteen people who were on board eleven passengers including a child and four crew eleven people have died in the accident with four now being treated in hospital preliminary reports suggest that three of the survivors are crew members and that the child was a man those killed the fire has been out and in this the gators are now working at the scene. that was an emergency ministry spokesperson on the fatal plane crash in siberia in which eleven people tonight i hate this more to come this hour on our including new having spent chechen parents. children are born here they had a kidney problem and in the process their whole child for the whole world to go to moscow that's providing their relatives had enough money is needed for treating

children with kidney problems in the north caucasus. us a call much with touring from iraq as promised but 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 over james that dense allow our rights for middle east politics and security says a bomb as promised is a shot age 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 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 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 in 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 significantly compromised and there may be another struggle coming president obama's way after iran's leaders challenge him to a face to face t.v. debate if statement by a top u.s. military officer that a strike against iran could not be ruled out. the 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 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 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 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. the uranium american political action committee says the upcoming u.s. mid-term election is among a number of things cools the american. 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 as 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 as something that will buy the iranians more time and so they they want reassurance from the u.s. . for russia. the third of sits on the international affairs committee believes whatever goal the u.s. is pursuing its treading a dangerous path we'll hear more in our next hour but here's just 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 destabilization attempt is rather dangerous. now 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 is police clear reports one recent bill forces prospective citizens to declare 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. he won a victory out of them for their loud and people elected them so it's not the government . the government is the face of the people like what started first i don't know but this is the situation and syria's going to gangsters and civil rights groups agree they say it's official the current israeli government is the most racist in israel's history. as for laws studied them and side two hundred ninety six instances of races are not just against arabs there's also a significant rise in racism against other ethnic groups russians ethiopians and eastern jew i believe that israel is a racist country and if this trend continues its bills disaster for the state of israel already at least twenty one bills that arab citizens insist just combinator against them have been passed the most recent prospective citizens now have to

swear allegiance to a jewish and democratic state but 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 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 she says it's a daily struggle for arabs to be treated equally even the most liberal israeli parties often struggle to support the first priority is to keep their position in the coalition government is that this is the how. weak this will be that this government has not vision not just some pieces of the c.e.o.'s of their shit 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 their time or a jewish israeli millionaire who has joined hands with sharkey khatib 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 factories here but that vision 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 palestinian version of the nine hundred forty eight or another ball criminalizes 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 party policy on our t.v.

is wrong. or there's much more from us of course available or website any time you like all to dot com here's a look at what might catch your eye online of the moment elss of russian power achieved has been the heat while celebrating their unit eightieth anniversary of moscow's corkey park. and the russian biker rally with provia pulling power as prime minister vladimir putin arrives it. now when parents discover their child is ill they'll do all in their power to make them well again but in russia regions of the chechen republic getting treatment for serious conditions such as to please aziz meant having to travel to moscow without something many families just can't afford now though new facilities mean vital

medical care is within reach as artie's date as he is the for report. it's been a year since her adopted baby girl died but lady sit still mourning she's always looking at the pictures of her girl when she was in hospital the only memory she has now she was more than a child she was an angel we think about her all the time my mom still crying. little certainly hard to forget such a child seven months old marshall was brought to this hospital with acute kidney failure the doctors did their best to save the girl but without the special equipment to purify the blood there was no hope it was a shame to see a child who couldn't help. 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 see 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 to 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 born here they had a kidney problem and in the past there. was told to go to moscow that's providing their relatives had enough money but the russian government determination to decentralize specially here this unit is on their doorstep. play

could declare and so most of the developers could declare that the process up there rises soon in every single sector from economy parliaments to luxury homes here in this area for the school is where this it is most expensive apartments are like cases the sculpting price of just one square meter tops thirty thousand dollars but this is not the upper limit their 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 my only question of business r.t. wheat prices again for a six or twenty two months high drought and stop exporting. fields process last week alone but the head of the russian grain union says that's justified. fundamental factors do not support current grain prices last week we reached two hundred forty dollars per tonne but this price is quite groundless according to the latest forecast of the global grain council green reserves will reach one hundred ninety two million tons this year compared to last year's record volume of one hundred ninety seven million tonnes is that really such a big difference if the decrease is just five million tonnes but the average price has jumped from one hundred eighty dollars to two hundred forty. let's take
