air we're not just talking about the pollution and the smog that we see now but we're also talking about radioactive particles that could find its way into the air the ministry has its eye on the region which was affected by the charred noble catastrophe and the concern here is that if the fires head south that the force there will will bird and that the contaminated soil will find its way the particles from the find itself in the air in the wind will carry it along going to ask my camera man to follow me and i'll show you just what happened the this is part of a smaller village that has just been destroyed look at the homes here nothing is recognizable you can see like maybe a child's buddha a bicycle and if you take a look over behind us look at what has happened here it's absolutely awful nothing is standing it's it's practically a wasteland out here you can feel the have a small that has made its way to the capital and that's just one example of how when you get forces together it's hard to battle and you have this excessive heat

which they're expecting to continue to rise is that as a matter of fact meteorologists are predicting that we're going to see temperatures hit thirty eight degrees celsius. and we're not and there is no rain in the forecast so firefighters have an extreme battle ahead of them. reporting in from the most region. in moscow getting back on track no tonight that blanket a small group in the capital is finally started listing. the weather conditions cause i was in delays for passengers as visibility plunged to below the norm earlier on the more than forty planes to be diverted from moscow to reports from neighboring regions. it's been a day of remembrance in japan for the victims of the deadliest bomb blast in human history in the american atomic weapon dropped on hiroshima sixty five years ago claimed a large one hundred forty thousand people for the first time ever washington sends an official to be on you all sort of money in the city. ground zero still isn't

free from the fore. but here she mouthpiece memorial ceremony was a significant and important event with thousands in attendance including four and international dignitaries from japan there was a presentation of the register of the names of the people who passed away when the bomb exploded but there were also speeches from dignitaries including the now took on the 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 is that ban ki 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 also a goal something he has said he is making a priority for the united nations also in attendance for many survivors some 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 indirectly affected this is their story. 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 heaven and earth turned. the students inside. started to turn away. and even though here in. the bomb sent

a mushroom cloud into the atmosphere creating its own weather system pouring down a radioactive suit filled the rain onto the survivors some people who were unaware of the dangers even welcomed it as. a station i had never seen before i remembered. the u.s. and japanese governments acknowledged black rain as a health risk and set up an official area where they believe the phenomenon had occurred but people living around here she must 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 the black rain association are gathering to make their voices heard. our members consider to. suffer from. cancer to government. building was destroyed in the initial blast and miraculously this wall was left

standing it has been the left here as a memorial to that tragic event and to like this building the 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. three years ago we found nine thousand houses with the flu. boards because of when the houses were built we know when that mud was exposed and when we took samples of 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 in. the commission that identified their original area calculated the mushroom cloud at eight kilometers but by finding the poor end of 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 rain 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 stories and memory sean thomas r.t. hiroshima japan i spoke to story jack powers who told me that he believes that by bombing hiroshima the u.s. was trying to intimidate the u.s.s.r. that. the reason for bombing hiroshima was that it had not the city had not been

previously bomb that was a virgin targets of the speak so to drop one bomb to obliterate an entire city would one bought one bomb which showed the power of this new weapon where the united states hacked up and that was the whole idea to impress moscow with the new weapon that the united states hat and wanted to moscow to know they had and want to moscow to know how powerful that weapon was but how could you get that across unless should demonstrate it so demonstrating it would have to bomb a city well you couldn't bomb a russian city because you were now if russia had a bomb in any city and you still have an enemy japan so you're going to a japanese city dropping that bomb on tokyo would have that made sense because tokyo was already destroyed in advance so if the bomb had been dropped on tokyo nobody would have noticed much difference but hiroshima was there intact the day before and was story obliterated the day after by one bomb that sort of brought the

message home. the thought service or a north pole is talking a little bit earlier on tonight. the russian president some veiled the latest stage of his top to bottom overhaul of the country's police force that a meeting with a security official to me to medvedev surprised everyone by proposing to drop the name he's sure so. ever since the bolsheviks revolution our law enforcers have been known as the militias this emphasize their popular or proletarian nature i mean they were volunteers in uniform we need professionals honest and we'll coordinated people who are good at their job this is why i think it's time we gave our law enforcers back their original name and stored it calling them to the police. but when he was asked health officials and lawmakers to consider his office the force is currently undergoing deep reforms with a new one to regulate the body in the making the president only proposed cutting the number of offices by round of course keeping only the most qualified the

militias have recently come under fire after several high profile cases of mother and corruption by high ranking officers. hadrian chief of self magazine viktor linnik believes that russia's police force needs to be reform so that people can regain trust in the country's law enforcement i think the. mini's. they said they should have obviously to yes to shift an image of public perception rather of the up today's of militia the image that is spent very tarnished that's been very compromised in the public eye the ministry has been so compromised people are scared to turn to malaysia people are scared to to get into contact with the man in uniform in the street so yes we need to root out corruption that's what should be behind this whole reform when he truly unprofessionalism what

he to root out ineffectiveness so the reforms are all the are long overdue but whether the effort will be worth the the. the idea remains to be seen. thoughts from editor in chief of the magazine viktor linnik some world news in brief now tonight the pentagon is demanding that wiki leaks remove secret documents from the afghan war from its web site tens of thousands of league files with information about civilian deaths and other sensitive issues appeared on the site last month officials say the disclosure couldn't put u.s. troops in afghanistan and risk the pentagon's also asking online whistleblower not to release documents and home. from flooding is making its way across southern asia in pakistan the worst moment soon rains for eighteen years of no claim more than sixteen hundred lives and threatening the densely populated so rains are also hit india with flash floods killing over one hundred and seven kashmir intense rescue

a coma george hollands and ben-hur one must go to greece for a european arrest warrant the warrant operates europe wide and doesn't require the extraditing country to present any evidence of people having been involved in a crime. the links all having to go through. it wouldn't take. long for the person to. look at the evidence look at everything. that the statements confirm. and report back to the greeks from where the judicial. evidence in the case and then decide their name whether there is any sufficient evidence to show people to these foreign countries i was in prison at the incident and oldest wish. to me out of nine nomination under the european arrest warrant once an extradition requests been

received if the forms correctly failed in there's very little individual countries can do to prevent an extradition taking place but i don't actually have to produce any evidence this is the fundamental flaw of the european arrest warrant is all i have to do is fill in a piece of paper that says my name address what the offense sees where it's supposed to the kurds and by subito. but they keep the examining court the british court in this case has no power whatsoever to examine the problem of five she evidence and decide whether there is a proper case to answer a tearful goodbye. and ben and george go on to join three friends accused of the same crime no one knows when they'll come back these young men have now handed themselves into police custody and they'll be transported from head to prate where they're likely to be reminded in custody for up to eighteen months awaiting trial as they head into an uncertain future in a foreign land some question and e.u.

whites diktats which strips individual countries of the right to protest that own citizens the young men's parents see them as victims of a u.k. government which has repeatedly failed to stand up to. in ever more legislative e.u. the fact is the u.k. should have to pay for extradite. that's why they don't change the european arrest warrant innocent people will carry on being extradited as a member of the european parliament civil liberties justice and home affairs committee gerald batten says the european arrest warrant is just the tip of the iceberg the next thing that's coming along is something called the european investigation order and what happened there is european countries like greece rumania both areas they will be able to require the british police to actually investigate cases for them they can snoop on you they can buy your telephone they can take you to your night your fingerprint evidence what's wrong about all this is

entirely one sided the collecting the evidence for the prosecution as they've done in this case where they've interviewed witnesses but not for the defense critics say the arrest warrant and investigates in order rests on the assumption that standards are the same across the board inside the e.u. but the prison where ben and george are likely to be held has come under fire from amnesty international for inhumane treatment of detainees something the u.k. courts refuse to take into account nor and that r.t. london. got my thoughts on the story the e.u. war and systematists nobody darty dot com website of course our home page online twenty four hours a day just hit the discussion button on the stories that you thought also plenty of others of course online let's see what is there tonight as well a record breaking gadget to major record breaking temperatures there are moscow installs a thermometer over one hundred meters tall which claims to be the biggest in the world you can find it with also for russians who saw want more after mcdonald's and

burger king the world's third largest fast food chain wendy's is about to open a restaurant in moscow and st petersburg. and swimmers in the moscow river might start coming across tiny jellyfish as the. heat wave in russian brings out some new not very pleasant surprises under the water there. exactly ninety minutes past ten at night here in moscow more news brought to ski has officially been sworn in as poland's new president comes just four months after the tragic death of the lately the lech kaczynski along with a delegation of polish officials in a plane crash well today should have signified a new beginning it's been marred by protests hundreds of people gathered outside the presidential palace to boycott the moving of

a memorial to the wooden cross was erected in honor of the late leader along with everyone else crash demonstrators are opposed to being transferred from state to church ground but the new president claims the symbol should not remain in front of a top state building party's election as your scheme was more for us. it's a big day for poland now that he has been sworn in as the country's new president you know gratian was quite long to begin again in the morning here in the polish parliament where he took an oath to become the country's new leader then the whole ceremony moved on to one of the central cathedrals in warsaw where a mass was held to mark this fact that he is now the country's new president and then the final stage of the ceremony in the world powers was held where all the attributes of the presidential power were being handed over to bring use of what would it mean for foreign relations of poland we're joined by gareth price from the warsaw business journal many thanks for joining us this hour here in warsaw my

first question to you obviously we've been hearing a lot of things about the changes in the foreign backed with the now in office what would this mean for russia for relations between poland and moscow ok well you have to compare this period that's coming up to when he was president and the rather cold relationship that russia and poland had with one another then. come out and said that he will try to improve cooperation between the two nations you have to remember that he is from the same party as donald tusk the prime minister from the city cut from party who has before this one tragedy. reached out to russia and tried to improve relations there so over a week we can say that heroes have a platform with president will continue in this same the same direction of improving cooperation between the new two nations well recently we've heard lots of accusations coming from warsaw concerning the investigation of the smolinski tragedy saying that some people in warsaw believe that russia is holding back facts

and trying to stall the investigation do you think this investigation is still somewhat in the warming the relations between the two countries are the point here is that the investigations can drag on for too long a period and if if there's no final conclusion they can't get over this and continue what prime minister to have begun when he and putin met at caton for the cats a memorial and this investigation somehow needs to be wrapped up. right now there is are some conspiracy theories but the main the general polish population. isn't accusing russia it doesn't feel that russia has done anything wrong here but the longer it drags on the more room is there are then the more this groundswell of popular dissent against russia's investigation will build and could indeed have a damaging effect on russian relations right now. there's enough time we just need a conclusion right thank you so much this was go at the price from warsaw business

journal joining us here live in warsaw watching what's happening with integration and we'll bring you all the latest details from the polish capital. correspondent in warsaw but later on this hour martin andrews takes us on a tour around russia's golden ring cities that's coming up in about ten minutes after the business now with charlotte. for the full story we've gone to. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. and

i welcome to the business program here. is the hottest driest summer in recorded history wildfires are raging across the country and the capital has a blanket of thick choking smoke giving the impression of widespread disaster there's been terrible human cost because of their normal weather with their lives and homes lost it's also created severe problems for the nation's farmers with more than twenty percent of the reach harvest wipes out on thursday promise to imposed a ban on grain exports to ensure there wouldn't be a shortage and food prices won't start to rise although the situation is grim the underlying health of the russian economy is not being damaged our correspondent explains. moscow east coverage with how the smoke and it really looks like the end of the world behind my back is the white house but it is completely out of sight

now but once the fine is done the smoke has lifted the russia will still be intact and that's according to you just love it chief economist. who says that the damage to russia's economy should be insignificant. with regard to industrial production pick ups. growth performance in the summer period after that i think things will stabilize we have heard. pauses in the operation of some of the plants including in the auto sector because of high temperatures may be compensated by. still significant. household consumption apart from terrible human costs locally there will be in the economic impact the decision to ban grain x. period will be filled by some russian agricultural businesses and according to. agricultural market studies. 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 is 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 may well go on to other countries for the time being the situation here in the downtown of moscow is still green but from an economic point to eat everything looks worse than it really is. speaking to business russia's largest insurance company. says it has more than enough funds to cover the cost of any damage from the wildfires. but if we think around eight hundred buildings insured by a company of being hit by the world fires this amounts to about two hundred million roubles every week we pay out around a billion rubles that's

a sum of two hundred million rubles even if it doubles because the phone is a difficult to fight is insignificant compared to our phones reserves and payments we make through the year. let's have a look at the markets now in line with global trends the russian markets finished the week and they read that says that oil is a kind of a disappointing jobs report from the u.s. stoat concern the economic growth flowing russia's biggest lead us there was a long and mainly. looking back at the trading week and initial rally in crude prices above eighty two dollars a barrel helped the russian markets but a positive sentiment wasn't to last. the markets are fine was the growth i. saw him on the positive for from us europe we have what we had for all. of the market was flat or mix of the from china and us during the week we're hopeful for russian market is a longer so much really well. it's through eighty. dollars per barrel it was the

extreme opposed to this was one of their other for the show performance. and that naturally because all priced groups of the info we get. you know the news rushes trade surplus grew eighty percent year on year the first half of two thousand and ten to ninety four billion dollars both the volume and price of exporting goods rose during the period with fuel and other energy products being by far the dominant sector rushes main trading partners outside the former soviet states but china germany and the netherlands russia's international reserves of growing by five billion dollars in one week that's a big increase thems experience throughout the whole of june the central bank says the reserves are now around four hundred seventy billion dollars the list say growth has accelerated over the last two months because of the rise of both the year and the pound against the dollar russia faced a sharp decline in its reserves at the end of two thousand and eight when they were
