as the fires head south that the force there will will bird and that the contaminated soil will find its way the particles from the candidates will find itself in the air and the wind will carry it along then asked my camera man to follow me and i'll show you just look what's happened now 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 see 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 not fun and we're not and there is no rain in the

forecast so firefighters have an extreme battle ahead of them the smoke from wall phones has taken its toll on air travel to fly from the company disrupted with passengers suffering hours of delays as visibility limits. don't we did have room for just. almost the airport's a currency operation according to the shadow but we cannot say for sure whether the problem is over now because it's changing all the time for more than two weeks already the smoke from terrible forest and people far as my colleague states abuse has just been talking about has been operating in the russian capital but it's never a factor in the work of the city's airport until today friday has probably been one of this is the worst days for most people we have been able to speak to some witnesses to at the airport in the morning you can see anything we could to see the planes that we've right next to the terminal now the smoke has subsided and you can

see the planes in the field. of flights was redirected back to town because of two visibility but we will thought there was better than landing without being able to see the ground the most complicated situation is add them up they do airports it's in the south of most a and as the eastern and southern parts of the most coverage and have been most affected by the wild places in the morning the visibility that has been down to three hundred twenty just which is three times less than normal level and since then all the flights have been delayed there and several planes have been unable to land enough that they've been directed to late in the day the station has started to worsen other airports and since then all the flies to mosco have been directed to all the russian cities to st petersburg nizhny novgorod and other cities and that's how the city is abdul it's happening operating for several hours on friday. so look some other news it's been

a day of remembrance in japan for the victims of the deadliest bomb blast in human history the american atomic weapon dropped on hiroshima sixty five years ago playing the lives of one hundred forty thousand people for the first time ever washington sent an official ceremony in the city to sean thomas reports ground zero still isn't free from before. the hiroshima peace memorial ceremony was a significant and important event with thousands in attendance including foreign and international dignitaries from japan there was a presentation of a 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 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 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 like brain. that there was

a big clash in heaven and earth would turn then we heard a blast the students inside were all hit with glass fragments and it was. the black queen started to turn away blouses black with spots even though here in pieces were soaked in blood between the bomb sent a mushroom cloud into the atmosphere creating its own weather system pouring down the radio. active so it filled the brain on to the survivors some people who were unaware of the dangers even welcomed it. remembered. 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 she must say the designated section was far too small and that the government didn't do enough to protect the entire population now groups of survivors like the black rain association are gathering to make their

voices heard. our members. suffer from. the government. building was destroyed in the initial blast and miraculously this wall was left standing it is 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 is given scientists the information they need to help black rain survivors. two or three years ago we found one thousand houses with. because of when the houses were built we know when. we took samples. 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. identified their original area calculated mushroom cloud at eight kilometers but by finding. the pilot photos were taken we can get a better idea of the real height which ended up being. more than twice. that we had thought traditionally to be armed with new information that 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 stories and memory thomas r t hiroshima japan. the russian president some veiled the later stages top to bottom overhaul of the country's police force but a meeting with security officials to meet and we'd read of surprised everyone by proposing to drop the main he's sure. ever since the bulls have a crew of aleutian or a long courses they've been known as the militia emphasize their popular or proletarian nature i mean there were volunteers in uniform today 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 pollutants. but it was asked top officials and lawmakers to consider his offer the force is currently undergoing deep reforms with a new law to regulate the body in the making right now the president earlier proposed cutting the number of officers by around
