would rather forget reflection r.t. moscow region. let's take a look now at the smog situation in moscow our correspondents they supervillains brings us up today. do you have a clear picture of the family behind me this is the polar opposite situation that we had yesterday what you would have seen from this vantage point is a wall of white just thick smog in fact it was difficult to see even fifty meters in front of you it really was like living in a snow globe but just because the the facts of the fires aren't as strong today it doesn't mean that the side effects aren't i mean people still are experiencing nausea. and all around discomfort if you're out in this for too long because the air pollution is so high six times what is normal you feel like you've snorted or you feel garbled on travel it's a really uncomfortable feeling and muscovites are
7:11 am
a little bit impatient and they're a little frustrated because they've been going on for so long you couple that with the unbearable smog and the how difficult it makes it to breathe and people just want it to end now obviously and it's gotten to the point where doctors are urging the elderly and people who have breathing problems just to stay home if you don't have to be outside if you can work from home do that because it's just not worth it and also the health ministry is suggesting that maybe russia should hold off on the first day of school it's god's will for september first but because of the conditions right now they're thinking that maybe it be best to hold to postpone on the first day of school not mention the frustration that many muscovites of having because there doesn't really seem to be in the site jake mentioned the flare ups with the fires the seem to be more firefighters make in advance of the more fires come about and so you have the weather that stoking and has started these fires and

7:13 am
that this this is not strictly an israeli military project the united states since the mid ninety's in fact has indicated rather as a possible target and that the war plans which have been ongoing since two thousand and four in fact in the wake of the. bombing of the invasion of iraq have been a joint program u.s. they tow and israel so that in fact these war plans are already well i'm going it may be convenient for washington to let israel unleash the attack and in fact dick cheney back in back in two thousand and four intimated that israel might do the work for us still to speak iran has ten percent of the global oil and gas was five times those of the united states it's
