so drawing the spreading of a very very quickly in some cases out of control yesterday they did manage to save three hundred towns and villages from being wiped out and being engulfed by these planes but in some cases of i say the flames just out of control in the last week forty people have died as a result of these guys two thousand homes have been wiped out as a flame just engulfed these these homes and people have just lost all their possessions and to hear more about this we can now last report from my colleague jeff a question. when darkness dawns hours ahead of schedule although it's already been five days since fires incinerated this village ash clouds are still so thick they block out the sun. firemen continue to keep the trolls as yet more flames break out but for a good in their efforts don't matter anymore those put it all through the good while my daughter ran up and said a bus is weighty and everyone's being evacuated

we already had our bags packed under my wife will drown the cattle with a religious icon with asking for protection but even the bombs have vanished. a wall of flames up to three hundred meters wide was more than the firemen could handle all but a few of the one hundred houses were totally destroyed. everything even had built up in thirty years living here the family home their daughter's house their cattle even their dogs all lost to the flames but amidst the scenes of utter destruction a glimpse of hope and honor. for. just fifteen kilometers away another village lays in the path of the flames its people are worried the same fate awaits them as the chest but only a moron arriving the men have to get it should be. we don't know where to expect

the fire from that nobody is informing us about anything. but for those whose battle with the fires ended in defeat the temporary shelters of being found part of the evacuated were taken here and so on old school building they say it is received as often as four times a day although that's still not enough the most basic things are much needed underwear to pillows to warm clothes back in moscow volunteers assemble what help they can they say there's enough supplies the problem is delivering it's huge problems with transportation because we don't have cars of our own but will flames already appearing on the highway half way to the villages finding a car could prove a lot easier than actually getting them to if they cross party central russia. central russia but i've. helped with clara small today and it looks like it will work. yes definitely the visibility this morning was very very poor

there was really very very big you can see more than fifty meters even. some of the tops of the building it was really that big and even now it's supposed to be broad daylight it's after eight am it's hard to the summer should be broad daylight but the cars are still driving around with their headlights on very very difficult to breathe and it's so bad that health experts they're warning them ask why should we really wear masks to protect us against the pollution is seven times higher than the normal levels of pollution and it's the equivalent if you stand outside for say an hour or two the equivalent they say of smoking two packs of two packs of cigarettes and you can really taste the in the air the how how strong the smoke is it's really that thick and apparently the weatherman says it could still be worse to come because this weekend where the situation really is the worst in those seven critical regions that are under a state of emergency they're expecting temperatures again around forty degrees so

it seems that there's no let up to these this soaring temperatures the searing heat and attention more wildfires to come and it's really not the news the moscow guys want to wake up to this morning is there a k are there many thousands for that was. i bet reporting for us from the moscow region. the u.s. is imposing more sanctions on iran drawing up a new expanded blacklisted group suspected of terrorist slings it ball is recent comments by america's top military officer there were a few using to using armed forces around doesn't stop if you're a rich meant to round lash out in response saying military action would lead to the u.s. suffering a defeat worse than those in iraq and afghanistan. has more from new york. well the united states treasury department did and now it's sanctions against twenty one iranian entities entities that u.s.

officials say and accuse of aiding groups such as has hamas and the taliban now are these. u.s. sanctions are targeting iranian companies in the banking insurance investment mining and engineering sector americans or u.s. companies are now in a bid from doing any business from those entities that are now being sanctioned by the u.s. treasury department and all of this is coming just a few days after the u.s. joint chiefs of staff michael mullen said that the option to strike iran a plan to strike iran is still on the table and it's an option that's ultimately up to u.s. president barack obama that subject it come up at the united nations when i ambassador vitaly churkin the russian representative to the united nations to held a press conference as russia assumes the presidency of the security council now why

the issue of a potential strike did come up with discussing iran and the mounting sanctions that have been placed on iran by the international community ambassador churkin also noted that all of the u.n. resolutions that include sanctions against iran do not include any text that allows the use of force to be used against iran under any circumstances let's take a listen when we discuss iranian nuclear issue and we will not resume on this matter as you remember we have very clear language never does aleutian in the last resolution even clearer in three previous resolutions. it has nothing to do with any possibility. use of force against that brazilian president lula da silva was among the first world leaders to react to u.s. sanctions against iran saying that they will not help but possibly hurt from

engaging iran and bring iran back to the negotiating table specifically what it cost to do with. the nuclear fuel swap program that was proposed by turkey and brazil a program that is gaining support among the international community and it is something that the president of brazil says that the u.s. could be deterring with these amalgamating sanctions that are being done unilaterally outside of the united nations. israeli prime minister's plan to relocate to west bank to do which is not surprisingly finding a few supporters in the neighboring arab state they say we hear from an easing jordanian who make about why the move can destabilize the region ready fragile peace. this is a very negative development and we completely reject this decision and oppose it you cannot definitely uproot people from. throw them anywhere else

in the world and expect to have peace with them or they present this this just doesn't happen. we would like all these unit steps to stop immediately because they are very dangerous to the peace. and the they will definitely torpedo efforts. to make sure you catch the rest of ozzy's interview with. twenty minutes time. i was saying that is currently the focus for how america treats its immigrant population but the u.s. states also getting some think of a mini as protesters descend on the spot and because all ski reports on how the running also keeping the tills ringing. these past few

months. the state of arizona has become synonymous with immigration protests i got here and now another word floating around boycott boycott arizona corporations but considering how many people have flooded into arizona recently unless they all packed their own lunch it's pretty contradictory to pour into a state that you're boycotting in order to boycott it i suppose are working out quite an appetite with those tantrums are throwing down towns maybe they'll drop by for a meal restaurant owner michael monte says he's seeing business as usual it's very hard to tease out any discernible effect of the boycott. our numbers are stable compared to last year right now this place has actually been here since eight hundred seventy one it's the oldest standing building in this part of arizona and despite all the calls to boycott the state is still standing pretty strong man pretty good. and general manager jerry ceasar is i was born in michigan may go i

came to the united states and nineteen seventy six the age of six has a unique take on the issue what they're trying to do is do the right thing for the state and what. hasn't been done basically from the federal government our local area has been all over populated with a lot of the hispanic community. and you know it just seems to be out of control to take that's often under even on reporting we have left the spike . across the runs around here saying the. right well why are they saying that even sir elton john. had a few choice words for some pro immigration activists saying quote i have read that some of the artists won't come here they are all. maybe artists aren't coming here but regular folks still are my sales have increased people are calling me and

telling me they want to support arizona they want to they want to buy a flag or pins that have the state flag on them and show their support for arizona nevada resident daniel lavar was so intrigued about what's going on in arizona he decided just to come see for himself i came here to be enlightened a little bit i think that this is a trial i can see trial and i think it's a good trial i think it will bring a lot of issues to the surface that nobody's wanted to talk about but some people are willing to talk about it i'm angry at our government for allowing the illegals to see lots of people coming in now what were they waving they were waving the mexican flag and they were waving the cuban flag if they want to be americans they better wave the american flag we would not think of going to their country and waving our flag around demand. rights that we're not entitled to.

to business crude oil is trading at the three months high at around eighty two dollars a barrel credit the rally on renewed optimism about the global recovery relatively strong corporate results in the u.s. and europe along with the threat of horror in the gulf of mexico. this is a really important number to get past i think the eighty dollars figure is more important psychologically that represents a major milestone or a major hurdle that's when i look at it really back towards the one hundred level which is really at the back of everybody's mind and i think anybody is talking seriously about one hundred right now but it's a big number and you know i think it certainly draws attention first of foremost and squarely to opec you know kuwait's oil minister was in moscow this week having some discussions with the russian oil minister and really what came out front and center that discussion was that he is concerned about the compliance of opec members with their production quotas in this high price environment you mentioned it's down to fifty fifty five percent whereas opec would rather it was around

seventy five to eighty five percent now it's important for investors that it's about baby but the question that we're asking is how long can opec be disciplined in this high price environment traditionally they start to pump more. oil minister is in moscow shape explain to us a he believes the oil price will hit one hundred dollars about next year he also revealed that russia's beauty bag has approached the emirates of kuwait as a potential partner. kind in their lives i have met with president and he expressed his desire for kuwait to become a shareholder in the bank i told him i would advise an investment body responsible for such decisions about this opportunity and they would decide whether it was in line with their plans and strategies and he does not intend to offer the share on the market and they don't want to announce it they're looking for a limited circle of investors searching for strategic investor is sovereign on some fantasy and that's why they are approaching governments such as kuwait and perhaps other gulf countries a what if the ruble has been enjoying

a strong rally against the dollar on the back of the rising oil price the russian currency is now for below the psychologically important level of thirty to the dollar looks at the key factors driving the markets. the russian ruble is at a three months high versus the greenback and analysts say the rising oil price is not the only reason for the rally since the start of the year with a huge win for the rubble didn't do anything instrument just because of. the central bank and because of market perception to risk appetite everyone was looking for a high yield in assets and bearable was one of them in a minute debt and instruments. pleats on the rubles longer term prospect some are predicting the ruble will fall significantly next year as investors buy into the dollar which is seen as relatively the cheapest currency in the developed world but for the ruble bulls the appeal of the dollar could be trumped by the

russian currency which they believe offer us the best value in emerging markets you perceive the best. buying various assets all around the world. of course one of the best bets in a measured market taking russia india china and south eastern countries one of the best undervalued commodity currencies for the time being the ruble is likely to attract the rise and fall of crude prices in which case. that confirms a global recovery or even a big hurricane in the gulf of mexico could blow the russian currency to new heights as it serves as proxy trade for speculators that channel believe global business our team. hold this is impacting the stock exchanges asian shares all mixed in wednesday morning trading jeff unease shares fell as the dollar hits an eight month low against the yen of the weak u.s. states if you will talk of more fed policy easing to close benchmark is currently
