just most all the positions hard to hear more about as we can now offer a call for my colleague to face. 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 it as yet more flames break out but for a good in their efforts don't matter anymore those put it all through the river my daughter ran up and said a bus is waiting and everyone's being evacuated we already had our bags packed my wife walked around the capital with a religious icon asking for protection but even the bombs have vanished on 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 and 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 we speak yes but only a certain way you may run are even the men have to get to tractors smokey's everywhere we don't know where to expect a fire from neighbors informing us about anything but for those whose battle with the fires ended in defeat temporary shelters are being found part of the evacuated were taken here and an 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 and there were pillows to warm clothes back in moscow volunteers assemble what help

they can they see there's enough supplies the problem is delivering it's huge problems with transportation because we don't have cars of our own but we've flames already appearing on the highway how we to the villages finally going color could prove a lot easier than actually getting there to a fee across marty central russia the visibility this morning was very very poor there was really very very thick you couldn't see more than fifty meters even or some of the tops of the building it was 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 because a still driving around with it 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 up seven times higher than normal levels of pollution and it's the equivalent if you stand outside for say an hour or two is the equivalent they say of smoking for two packs of cigarettes and

if you can really taste in the air how how strong the smoke is it's not really that big and apparently the way the man 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 states of emergency they're expecting temperatures around forty degrees so it seems that there's no let up to these to these soaring temperatures the searing heat. to come. have been reporting. for us is imposing more sanctions on iran drawing up a new expanded bluntly group suspected of terrorist links it follows recent comments by america's top military officer that they're refusing to rule out using armed forces around doesn't still its uranium enrichment to around last time to respond saying military action would lead to the u.s. suffering a defeat worse than those in iraq and afghanistan. while

the united states treasury department did i denounce additional sanctions against twenty one iranian entities entities that u.s. officials say and accuse of aiding groups such as hezbollah hamas and the taliban now these u.s. ancients are targeting iranian companies in the banking insurance investment mining and engineering sector americans or u.s. companies are now in a bit from doing any business from from those entities that are now being sanctioned by the u.s. treasury department 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 did come up at the united nations when i ambassador

vitaly churkin the russian representative to the united nations held a press conference as russia assumes the presidency of the security council now why the issue of a potential strike did come up when discussing iran in the mountain. sanctions that have been placed on iran by the international community ambassador churkin also noted that all of the un resolutions that include sanctions against iran do not include any text that allow the use of force to be used against iran under any circumstances let's take a listen when we discuss iranian nuclear issue and even though the resolutions on this matter as you remember we have very clear language in it as aleutian in the last resolution even clearer than the previous resolutions. it has nothing to do with any possibility even the remotely. use of force against

a 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 in bringing 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 amalgam ting saying sions that are being done unilaterally outside of the united nations. israeli prime minister's plan to relocate west bank palestinians to jordan is not surprisingly finding few support in the neighboring arab states they say we hear from in leading jordanian lawmakers about why the move could say that we didn't already fragile peace. it is really

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 their representatives this just doesn't happen. we would like all these you know steps to stop immediately because they are very dangerous to the peace. and they will definitely torpedo any efforts. what do you catch the rest of assays interview with dr now in around twenty minutes time. arizona is currently the focus for how america truth immigrant population but the u.s. states also getting something of a mini boom as protesters descend and spend. all the rallying

calls also keeping the tills ringing. these past few months. the state of arizona has become synonymous with immigration protests. and now another word floating around boycott boycott arizona corporations but considering how many people have flooded into arizona recently unless they all pack 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 or throwing down talents or 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 is the oldest standing building in this part of arizona and

despite all the calls to boycott the state is still standing pretty strong and 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. 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 reserve 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 a take that's often under or even on reporting we have left the stripe. cross the runs around here say in the business on the right well why are they saying they're 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 a 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 pin that have the state flag on them and show their support for arizona nevada resident daniel lavar was so intrigued about what was going on in arizona he decided to come see for himself i came here to be enlightened a little bit i think that this is a trial i think it's a trial i think it's a good trial i think it will bring a lot of issues to the surface but nobody's wanted to talk about but some people are willing to talk about it but i'm angry at our government for allowing the illegals we see an influx of people coming in now what were they waving they were waving the mexican flag they were waving the cuban blood 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 demanding rights that we're not entitle to don't let the fence or them on the way out you know and just go. come back when you're legal and in arizona where you're legal you are welcome it's a great state and we have a lot to offer and i'm doing great business because of the devious soft r.t. phoenix what do you remember to head for more of what we've come for in here let's look at what else you can find at the moment the death penalty debate that back in the american spotlight as the bus woman in the face is executed. on the parasailing don't compete with the world. head services high level rehab she's moved them into the stables to help her get the keys have done.

india is one of the world's fastest growing and most powerful economies but the workforce of tomorrow could prove to be an achilles heel millions of children are growing up and trade with compulsory for education but as karen singh explains going to clone could also mean going without things when he does not go to school his parents simply cannot afford to send him he is one of the million children in india facing the same predicament even though the government has made education free and compulsory for children under fourteen the family cannot lose the income he makes as a rag picker. we have no money to teach our children the government doesn't give us a livelihood so the children have to help our family support itself we spend a day trying to get food to eat how can we educate our children. even if money got access to education this is what might well greet him not

a classroom in sight in rural india government schools often exist only on paper they may be registered but there may be no buildings or teachers. who have no books here the children have no books to write on there are no pencils. you can see the state of the board it's very difficult teaching this way. this means many who are in school barely able to read and write for instance i ask. recite the alphabet. and. be. yes. he and and and. he. seven out of ten children in delhi drop out by the time they turn fourteen when many schools.

too i mean especially municipal schools teachers write the answers on the ward so there's no question of anybody feeling it doesn't matter if you understand all the understand so the trial used to reach classics and we talking on able to cope to go to this start the group to provide educational support in underprivileged areas project y. helps seven hundred students from delhi slums who are looking to supplement their government provided education thirteen year old girl who likes mathematics and wants to be a banker when she grows up. i learn more here than in my school first of all their kids make a lot of noise so you can't hear anything and also the school teacher doesn't explain things here i can ask my tutor many things but in school before the teacher can explain the class is over and the teacher vanishes. and india is one of the youngest countries in the world with over half its population under twenty five

while this may provide a workforce with an edge over countries with aging populations access to education will be needed for all indian children for the country to continue its economic growth story got unseeing r.t. new delhi. but white house is playing down comments from pakistan's president that u.s. led forces have already lost to the taliban because they failed to win over the afghan people that military analysts are going to crucial thousands washington obsession with pakistan and its intelligence agency that is now spreading violence in neighboring afghanistan. according to the conventional wisdom the main reason of u.s. casualties in afghanistan are improvised explosive device which overall kill more than seventy percent of the us forces in afghanistan but when you dig a little further you will realize. the actually very main

culprit is not the taliban or any insurgents weaponry conventional or otherwise it is american policy in pakistan it's due to american addiction to parakeets especially the cia covert cooperation. we had curried both instability and violence in paris turned itself around in afghanistan. which is driven by political expediency creates a very hostile environment and kills american soldiers and marines in afghanistan. but that was. going to. let's cross are small the news making headlines across. the south and b.p.'s tapings of the sea it's leaking oil count in the gulf of mexico with a specially formulated mud in a process called kill the mud and be pumped in to try and push the oil back down

mold to get into the conflict and says a third party should enter the company to mediate a solution. crude oil is trading at a three watts higher to around eighty two dollars a barrel and let's put the rally delta renewed optimism about the global recovery but also concern over horror in the gulf of mexico. i think the eighty dollar figure is more important because psychologically that represents a major milestone or a major hurdle it's been how you 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 and 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 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 a 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. the ruble is enjoying a resurgence against the dollar on the back of the rising oil price the russian currency is now holding below the psychologically important level of thirty to the dollar but there are other factors driving the market to turn a profit of reports. the russian ruble is a three month 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 need these things to mentors because of mine to both your central bank and because of market perception to risk appetite everyone was looking for high yields in assets and variable was one of them and rubble dimmed in a minute there and our instruments evelyn 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 offers the best value in emerging markets you perceive that investors. are buying various assets all around the world so. of course one of the best bets in emerging markets world taking russia india china and south eastern countries over 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 strong data 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 political the business our team. we're going to stock markets now asia shares are mixed in
