jested from satellite imagery this morning is that there are eight hundred still burning throughout the whole country in total emergencies ministry has got one hundred fifty thousand emergency workers trying to put out the flames across the country not only firefighters but troops from the ministry of defense and also volunteers and i think some of the people in the forest behind me volunteers and yes they said they succeeded in preventing the flames reaching three hundred villages and towns but unfortunately simply is there's not enough people to try and control try and contain all these fires because they are getting out of control in some areas just because it is so dry and in total in the last seven days forty eight people have died as a result of these fires as they sweep across the country and two thousand homes have been destroyed and on more about the people who have lost all their belongings in these wildfires is a report by my colleague jim of fake us you know like. when darkness dawns hours ahead of schedule although woods already been five days since fires incinerated

this village ash clouds are still so thick they block out the sun. fire many continue to keep it truly as yet more flames break out but for a good in their efforts don't matter anymore but it will through the grip of 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 capitol with a religious sign called 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 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 on are. full of. 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 for certain for you. the men have to get to the truck to smoke is everywhere we don't know where to expect a fire from neighbors informing us about anything but for those whose battle with the flyers ended in defeat temporary shelters are being found part of the evacuated were taken here into 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 underwear to 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 in the highway how are we to the villages find you can car could prove a lot easier than actually getting there too if you cross through archie central russia. some of the problems facing people living in central russia a bit and here in moscow people are waking up to a thick layer of small call my own brain it looks like it was two weeks. yeah definitely that was the assessment i came to when i woke up this morning definitely the worst we've had the visibility was down to around fifty meters i couldn't even see the tops of the building and the smell of smoke was very very strong and you could even taste a real acrid smell and health experts are warning moscow has to wear masks like this to stop you breathing in all the pollution because it is seven times higher than the normal levels and so it's very dangerous health does pose health problems they say that if you're out for more than a couple of hours or so it's the equivalent of smoking two packs of cigarettes but

if you think that's bad then you should come down here is just one hundred kilometers south of moscow as i mentioned and. the further we drove out of moscow then the worse the situation got so got and you could smell it through through the air conditioning in the car people still had their lights on even half an hour ago and it's broad daylight should be here on the traffic was moving very very slowly was that dangerous on the road to the village visibility is so poor and the smoke is really just very very thick here and unfortunately it seems that it doesn't seem to be any let up in the temperatures this weekend is forecast in the worst hit areas temp just could hit again forty degrees around that temperature and so the heat doesn't seem to be getting any cooler and so there's definitely more chance of wildfires spreading. really not the news anyone across the country was wanting to wake up to is it ok for now ivan many thanks but i was artie's i'm a bennett reporting from the most the region for us. we've gone now the u.s.

is imposing more sanctions on iran during up a new expanded blacklist of groups suspected of terrorist well it's always recent comments by america's top military officer that they're refusing to rule out using force if iran doesn't stop its uranium enrichment to round lashed out in response saying military action would lead to the u.s. suffering in defeat worse than those in iraq and afghanistan in a poor ny has more from new york. well the united states treasury department did i now it's 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 us 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. 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 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 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 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 we will know the resolutions on this matter as you remember we have very clear language in there that is illusion and in the last resolution even clearer than in three previous resolutions. it has nothing to do with any possibility. will use a force against them 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 amounting same sions that are being done unilaterally

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 to the united states and nine hundred seventy six. 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. it just seems to be out of control a take that's often under or even on reporting we have left those. press those

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 entitled to go up offensive i'm on the way out you know 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 dean of the soft arty phoenix. what do you have on mind for more of any of the stories that we're covering here today on marty is this a quick taster of what's at all si dot com at the moment for you death penalty debates back in the american spotlight as the first woman in five years faces execution. and

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 mike will 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 right you can see the state of the board it's very difficult to see in this way. this means many who are dense. to read and write for instance i ask. recite the alphabet. after. the. air. and

and. the air. 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 wall for their best everybody feeling it doesn't matter if you understand all the understand so the trial used to read classics and talking on able to cope to counter this has started a 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 there the 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 with economic growth story got unseeing r.t. new delhi. the donkey that was sent parasailing above a russian beach in a cruel stunt is ready for her new life. got worldwide sympathy for her and can now look forward to some high level we have when she's just arrived at the kremlin's school of bing near moscow which is where our. right now for us at home is going to turn around is there in the fortunes of a nap what does she have to look forward to now. well

it's going to be some serious pampering she's just arrived here at the kremlin school of writing she's come a long way and yes she's she's got now a month here where she's going to receive a specially tale of diet specially tailored exercise must sarge is with oils the list goes on and she's going to have a really quite sartorial time here at the kremlin riding school and that's to try and help her get over the experience that she was that she went through it was the middle of last month the middle of july when a tourist company down on the coast of the sea of ours often in southern russia decided they'd try a little p.r. stunt and try something it's called parasailing where you attached usually a person to a parachute and then pull it by a boat around the bay it's quite fun for people not so much fun for animals like donkeys and when they attached a donkey to the parasail people on the beach reported hearing the animal braying in

distress it was then dropped roughly in the water and drank for a few yards before it was brought back onto the onto the beach and when that story reached the local media it quickly picked up the attention of international animal rights activists and concerned people all around the world one of which was brigitte bardot who contacted supposedly the russian president demanding that the animal be looked after properly so it's it's come here with me to talk more about this is gary o'shea from the sun newspaper who have helped bring this animal here gary it's been a long road to all the way from southern russia tell us a bit about the journey. you've had all the way up here to moscow that's correct it has been a very long journey one thousand two hundred miles in total wherever we've gone during that journey we've experienced such a huge wave of support from the russian people wherever we go there's been huge concern for enough it seems that everybody in russia has a has a place for now in their hearts it's left. knowing that you know russia is

certainly a nation of animal lovers. well that's the long journey there's also questions about that because future gary so i mean there's been rumors that the coach of. football club of all places has has put in an offer to try and or has expressed a lot of interest in buying and bringing over to britain it seems that britain seems to want to have this donkey to what do you think of her future what's going to happen well we're examining a lot of options here at the moment and yes that is true that harry redknapp the manager of top them for football club has contacted us. has an ambition to open his own animal sanctuary in the hampshire area of england and he has perhaps could and i could join him at that animal sanctuary we're going to take the guidance here at the people live from the kremlin school of writing as to what is in the best interests of and this is one of the finest facilities in the world we're happy to

take the experts view as to whether she should travel to england or whether she should perhaps have a home here in russia all options are still open everything is being examined at the moment thank you very very well that's the possible future for america for the moment she has a month of wonderful pampering ahead of her here at the common riding school outside moscow harris said many thanks steve that was assays that made. them all right to go in now they've got all the latest business steve is coming your way in just a few moments with daniel. welcome to business millionaire the democrats on it could turn the tables on all of their past by buying him out of mining giant neural cynical yesterday we reported how his bid for puts on is looking steak in the world's top nickel producer accusing him of weak management but this morning video mr daly says patel is now looking to raise the cash to purchase their past his twenty five percent stake president medvedev is

demanding an end to the conflict and says a third policy should enter the company to mediate a solution. crude oil is trading at the three months high it's around eighty two dollars a barrel and this put the rally down some renewed optimism about the global recovery but also concerned over in the gulf of mexico. i think the eighty dollars figure is more important because psychologically that represents a major milestone or a major hurdle it's been a look at a 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 that discussion was that he is concerned about the compliance of opec members with their production quotas in this high price environment he 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. 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 poke over explains. 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 we had a huge win for the rubble didn't anything instrument just 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 bearable 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 can see 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 you know believe global
