and then the air would get contaminated the winds would carry the air to different areas the minister spoke a bit ago here's what he had to say. several liberal trees are closely monitoring the situation in the brown streets in the territory which is contaminated. farms and there are. new to come be released into the year or. more use could become contaminated emergency ministry has dispatched more fire crews to combat fires that threaten the briana region there were two fires that are put that were put out in the matter of about two hours so the ministry is keeping a close eye on the situation it's a very serious situation no matter what if you're in the line of fire or if you are just on the outside now i'm in the moscow region which is one of which has been a natural disaster and then this small village i'm going to have my of my caravan andre follow me if i just take a look at the damage here homes here along the way nothing is recognizable you

could see a boot. a bicycle but you can't really see anything else and if you take a look to out here you can see the amount of houses and just the serious damage that these fires have had on the moscow region and you can see the smog in the air which is also a major concern because of the the air pollution quality and it's so bad the doctors are suggesting that people where mask but overall i mean it's a pretty critical condition it's been deadly for fifty people who've been found so far or killed in these fires and also it's been very critical for the thousands of people who have been left without homes and now they're wondering how do they go about picking up their lives and starting over it's a very humbling experience for people who have essentially lost some of their independence and now they're relying on neighbors and friends on cherry.

organizations to fill in the gap and to give you an idea of just how big of a space we're talking about throughout russia one hundred fifteen thousand. acres have just been burned so we're talking about what had just for some people to give you a better idea is the size of a baseball field or the size of an international rugby pitch so firefighters have a lot on their plate as the weather is still a major concern there still drought there's no rain predicted into the forecast and the high temperatures are expected continue to at least mid august. reporting from the most clear region the. president will be sworn in during a lavish ceremony on friday but on this off the middle school. kaczynski his plane crashed in russia in april killing him and many of the senior officials and is likely to shift report schools to keep a memorial cross dedicated to the late lead to kids if the shot if you know your

ration. now the former speaker of polish parliament bernice live komorowski is due to be inaugurated as poland's new president after gaining a victory with a narrow margin on july the fourth in the second round of the polish presidential election over the brother of the twin brother of the late polish president lech kaczynski it was love now we understand the ceremony will kick off at ten o'clock local time in the polish parliament where the new president will will take an oath becoming the country's new leader and then the ceremony will move on to one of the central cathedrals in warsaw where mass will be held to mark the fact that but he said coming off he has become the country's new president and then the whole soul and ceremony will move on to the royal castle where the final stage where the all the regulars all the tributes of the presidential power will be handed over to the coming of steve then he will move on to his new residence the

presidential palace here in warsaw but the fact is the question is where they're going to come out of it will be able to make it inside the presidential palace here as protesters are gathering here the fact is that the wooden cross there in the background the one which was put here when poland lost its president lech kaczynski and most of the country's political elite is due to be removed by the new president and supporters of the late lech kaczynski of the late preselections can his brother you also kaczynski have gathered here to protest and to defend this cross from removal several days ago these protests were even more large scale several hundred men gathered here in front of the presidential palace in warsaw and even clashed with the police very simple enough he wants to move this cross to one of the cathedrals in central warsaw and replace it with ammonium and can commemorating the death of most of the country's political elite and the president but the people who

are gathered here in masses say that they do not want this process to be. well i do you check home websites of course for all the stories that would come and whole lot more here's just some of what you'll find at the moment. the whole of the middle east is turning its face to the west the younger generation that feels much at home among american restaurants and english d.j.'s. and to measure the record breaking the most i was building on a hundred and six me to highlight the moment. i scraped a high could set a record all of it saying do you had. the sixty fifth anniversary of the world's first atomic bomb that's had more than a hundred and forty thousand people died in the blast over radiation poisoning after the u.s.

dropped the bomb in the final days of the second world war. thomas is that her. hiroshima peace memorial ceremony was a significant and important event with thousands in attendance including foreign and international dignitaries from japan now the ceremony started just before eight o'clock with a water presentation ceremony with water taken from sixteen different locations around here are meant to quench and calm the souls of the people who were killed sixty five years ago and were aching for thirst during that time there was also a presentation of the register of the names of the people who passed away the bomb exploded but there were also speeches from dignitaries including and now to who is the prime minister of japan john roos was in attendance the first time that an official representative of the united states was in attendance at the ceremony which has been going on since the year after the actual bomb exploded all except

for one year in one nine hundred fifty when the occupation army disbanded the ceremony also very important. q moon who is the secretary general of the un the first time secretary general has participated in this ceremony as well he spoke about nuclear nonproliferation and said as long as that nuclear weapons exist we are under the threat of global terror he also pointed to the united states and russia as major powers moving forward with the new start treaty as a good example of a step towards nuclear nonproliferation which is his ultimate goal something he has said he is making a priority for the united nations also in attendance for many survivors who felt the direct impact of the bomb itself and others who were indirectly affected we had the opportunity to speak to some of those directly affected this is their story. at eight fifteen in the morning on august sixth one thousand nine hundred forty five the united states destroyed the city of hiroshima instantly with an atomic bomb while not directly hit the people living in the surrounding area faced another

danger black rain. there was a big flash heaven and earth overturned then we heard a blast the students inside were all hit with glass fragments it was chaos. the black queen started to pull and turned away blouses black with spots and even though here in faces of. the bomb sent a mushroom cloud into the atmosphere creating its own weather system pouring down the radioactive soot filled rain onto the survivors some people who were unaware of the dangers even welcomed it as i. had just come back from receiving my brother's body for station i had never seen before i remember it was such a pleasure to play with. the u.s. and japanese governments acknowledged black rain as a health risk and set up an official area where they believed the phenomenon had occurred but people living around here ashima say the designated section was far too small and that the government didn't do enough to protect the entire population that suffered now groups of survivors like of the black rain association are

gathering to make their voices heard. members are not consider typical survivors but more than eighty percent of us suffer from serious origination related illnesses and cancer we just want to government to recognize that. this building was destroyed in the initial blast and miraculously this wall was left standing it is been to the left here as a memorial to that tragic event and the like this building victims in the media path of the radiation wave are easier to identify than those in the surrounding areas in an ironic twist it is another set of buildings built shortly after the bomb was dropped that has given scientists the information they need to help black rain survivors. two or three years ago we found one thousand houses with mud under the floorboards because when the houses were built we know when that mud was exposed and when we took samples the mud was still radioactive evidence of radioactivity from black rain can go a long way towards getting help for the victims also using new technology teams are

reassessing the size of the radioactive cloud. the commission that identified the original area calculated the mushroom cloud at eight kilometers but by finding the poor and the pilot and where photos were taken we can get a better idea of the real height which ended up being sixteen more than twice that we had thought traditionally armed with new information in the city of hiroshima has commissioned a new study with the idea of increasing the official area for a bomb and black rain victims. our biggest goal is to extend the black rainy area and continue to care for the health and support the survivors even now sixty five years on from the event the tragedy continues in hiroshima alone it is estimated that three hundred fifty thousand people were exposed to the bombing nearly one hundred fifty thousand died today the city that was once destroyed is a thriving epicenter for culture and peace those who live here fight to rid the

world of nuclear weapons through their experience store. and memory thomas hiroshima japan. has got more on this story now from don't do you keep a knock over in japan a professor from the hiroshima of peace institute. a many thanks for joining us now how much closer do you think japan is to recognizing the suffering of all those affected by that bombing. well you know but to be recognized as a form survivors you have to fulfill of quite strict regulations set by the japanese government for example there are certain types of town so certain type diseases that the japanese government recognizes dialect are linked with radiation so if you're suffering from the disease which are not in that category you can't get the medical for free medical service the government change the law to some extent last year the end of last year however i think we need to move the law

further so that the many more people can be officially recognized as they have them survive those and they can get the free medical service and let's talk about that the threat that still exists in the area what kind of radiation legacy remains on the site. well actually physically there is a very little radiation left over now but the problem is of course as i said the council has a problem you never know when the you know you develop the council if you survive as you always have a psychological fear. soaks psychological fear that you know one day you'll be attacked by counsel so you know that they have to leave with this fear a constant fear that's the major problem of survivors and i'm looking at a specific and say sixty fifth anniversary commemorations today was the first time

that the usa was represented many so what emotions do you think that stood about how america has dealt with japan's people since the attack. well this year that the first time that the ripper sent out of the united states. to japan participated in the ceremony so people appreciated that but the. the the u.s. government just. you know the offer any apologies to two survivors i mean the bombing of the large number of civilians is of course clete was clearly against international law a crime against humanity so. the the survivors you know requesting the official apologies from the from the from the u.s. government so participating in the ceremony it's a step towards the official record a recognition of the crimes that the the u.s.

government committed so i hope someday us soon i hope in the near future the u.s. government. official apologies to. those this anniversary. that is home when nuclear fears are really at their greatest for some time with concerns over north korea and iran for instance mean the u.n. secretary general spoke african memorisation about the openness that the u.n. is is playing. perforation the effets feeling do you think there is a way you wall in hiroshima about lessons being learned from your history. well the as i said the attacking civilians and killing large number of civilians. you know is a crime against humanity and also the. so-called new.

sarette even if you're not using the negro weapons but the. holding a nuclear weapon itself is a is a crime i think because you're prepared to use commit the. crime against humanity so what we are. demanding is the immediate establishment. the nuclear weapons. convention so that the old nuke will be abolished. the even the experiment of the new weapons will be banned. so that the you know the no one will be. suffer from even psychological fear from the. ok. on this the day that hiroshima is marking the sixty fifth anniversary of the

world's first atomic bomb the time many thanks for speaking to us says professor of peace institute. ok kid is author of the saying the situation is under control in the central asian country after violent clashes erupted near the capital on thursday riot police used tear gas and sound grenades to disperse antigovernment protesters demanding an opposition leader the may prime minister interim president to them by ever accuse the demonstrators of trying to seize power police around it up twenty seven people they say organize the rest including the man protesters i wanted to put into power but. while he's away he wanted to trying to stage a coup five years ago the country suffered from months of deadly political and ethnic. that i'm back here was overthrown in april kyrgyzstan's home to foreign

military bases the u.s. transit center and mass which helps operations in afghanistan under russian air base and count. ok time now to take you through some of today's although world views on pakistan is the worst of a floods of claimed sixteen hundred lives and more the un's describing as a major catastrophe raging waters have already deluge the doth west in the now threatening the more densely populated one serious concern is that the major food producing region of the job lies in the floods paul intense rescue efforts still trying to reach millions of people left without food or drinking. washington has released a new report on terror which says although its hands to fall into a five year low all qaeda is still a resilient and adaptable threat it also calls al qaeda the main threat to pakistan national security in the report washington singles out iran as the most active

state sponsor of terrorism also mentioned in the document of the efforts of individual countries to fight terrorism across the globe. to naysay strike cities down to have killed at least twenty five civilians in one incident today as you had a fire on a vehicle that was it carrying a family in the body of a flight victim in a separate attack scene died when u.s. and afghan forces raided a compound it calms a day off the u.s. commander general petraeus troops to avoid civilian casualties. hundreds of workers have staged a protest against a government minister in sri lanka it happened to deputy minister tied a public official to a tree for failing to attend a meeting protest as well as of the to apologize and demanding an investigation the incident was strongly criticised by labor unions and opposition politicians.

continues his summer tour satellite. he's known as the golden ring this time he's in paris level to explain the shape that define that distinctive skyline if it's pretty and peaceful monasteries you want and this is the place to come in fact you'll be spoiled for choice there are many here in paris level like this one here which is now a museum the former good it's good ministry built in the fourteenth century. about ten minutes time here on our city down to business first with catalina he's

a from the business for us and he's got details of why russia's drought means some crop exports will dry out for a while as well. how unwelcome to a business program good to have you with us russia is imposing a ban on grain exports because of the drought and wildfires promised him a push and says measures are taken to help russian farmers and to prevent rising food costs at home. it is. due to the abnormally high temperatures and the courage drought and i think we should impose a temporary ban on the export of green and its derivatives from russia we do have enough reserves point five million tons we need to guard against domestic prescribers is. now the premier also said grain held in state reserves would be distributed across the regions to help alleviate any shortages and there's further aid for farmers that government is promising one point two billion dollars in

assistance roughly a third of the money will be direct a rest will go to subsidized loans. and wheat prices on the international claudie markets a racing to new highs russia is the world third largest exporter of wheat but the worst drought in half a century is wiped out more than twenty percent of the crop with every passing hot dry days expectations for a harvest become more gloomy grain union now predicts a wheat field of under seventy million tonnes compared with nearly one hundred million tonnes last year the country's domestic where consumption is seventy five million tonnes. now the ban on grain exports may cause russia to lose market share as a global wheat exporter which we will call from the institute for market for agricultural market studies says that with frictions could hit both russian companies and foreign importers. of course this will put a negative impact this ban will be

a very painful measure for both domestic producers and for exporters but when one has to choose between the domestic consumption market and the needs of other countries it's obvious what decision should be taken there quite a lot of grain storage is in the us as well as in the european union so the obligations that the russian companies have made will go on to other countries. now in time shake up the stock market asian stock markets are mixed as investors look at the monthly employment figures in the u. west the nikkei is flat to negatives ordered by solid earnings from companies including tejada the hang seng is up over half a percent here in russia the out here is open lower in friday's trading session all the blue chips are in the red on the r.t.s. at the moment the worst is both the forces finished thursday's session in the red as well erasing their previous games spread back was among the main losers setting for one a half percent. chance day with prayer bank the bank spent more than

a billion rubles of the first half of the year on advertising more than any other bank in russia it came in second spending more than seven hundred million rubles bt twenty four which of the banks retail branch spent almost three hundred million. dollars to the number of credit cards issued by sixty five percent in the first seven months of the year as of august first for banquo cards in moscow exceeded five point six trillion. there's there was interest rates stay any europe the european central bank and bank of england followed market expectations and kept their policies the same the president called trish they said euro zone economy was recovering faster than expected and that gave a further lift to the single currency against the dollar a move has b.c. bank in london sees a sustainable. we believe that some of the panic that was within the euro zone was a bit overdone that we do have structural challenges in the us as well the twin

deficits are still there and also you know there is this discussion between the european governments and the u.s. when actually should you start to rein in do you deficit and it's very clear that europe is a bit more on the side that you have to do it rather earlier than later and it made it we had a crisis worse the us is much more reluctant so we think given that you have more austerity stance you have less willingness to provide a lot of liquidity in the european market this just helps the currency and we believe that your dollar will trade around one thirty five by the end of this year . russia's international reserves have grown by five billion dollars in one week that's more than the growth experienced throughout the whole of june the central bank says the reserves of varying of varying currencies are now around four hundred seventy billion dollars say growth accelerated over the last two months due to the rise of the euro and the pound to the dollar faced

a sharp decline in its reserves at the end of two thousand and eight when they were used to support the ruble rate as the global recession took hold of international reserves include foreign currencies gold and other assets. a funk to finance russian overstructured projects has been drafted by the country's finance ministry it will initially be worth around six hundred seventeen million dollars that investment should double in three years whether mr newspaper says the t.v. capital may become the king buster of the main aim is buying shares in energy transport and utility companies right as russia has fallen in competitiveness according to global rankings and is now lows among the bric countries with declining infrastructure being one of the key factors. that's all for now i'll be back with more and about forty five minutes from now meanwhile let's take a look at what's happening in the world.
