and the concern here is that if 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 contaminated soil will 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 with 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 boot 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 boat 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 as the as a matter of fact meteorologists are predicting that we're going to see temperatures hit thirty eight degrees celsius not fun and and we're not and there is no rain in

the forecast so firefighters have an extreme battle ahead of them. the smoke from the wildfires is taking a toll on the air travel to flights from the capital's airports were disrupted with passengers suffering hours of delays as visibility plunged below safe limits artie's worry if an ocean is i don't know devo airport outside moscow with more. almost the airport's a currency operation according to the shadow but we can all 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 a terrible forest and people far as my colleagues tasted is has just been talking about has been operating in the russian capital but it's never a factor at the work of the city's apples until today friday has probably been one of this is the morse days for most of the boys we have been able to speak to some witnesses to at the airport in the morning you can see anything we could certainly

see the planes that were right next to the terminal now the smoke has subsided and you can see the planes in the field. of flights was to 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 a bit of an airport 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 there has been down to three hundred to me 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 place on the day the station has started to worsen all other airports and since then all the flies to mosco have been directed to all the russian cities to st petersburg and all roads and all the cities and that's how the cities abdul it's happening operating for several hours on friday. or if

a notion of reporting from moscow airport. 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 during the second world war claimed the lives of one hundred forty thousand people for the first time ever washington sent an official to the i knew will ceremony in the city as artie's sean thomas reports of ground zero is still not free from the fallout. but here she mouthpiece 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 obama 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 bond ki-moon who is the secretary general of the u.n. 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 a 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 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 and even though here in pieces were soaked in black rain the bomb sent a mushroom cloud into the atmosphere creating its own weather system pouring down a radio. filled the brain on to the survivors some people who were unaware of the dangers even welcomed it as. i had never seen before i remembered. the u.s. and japanese government technology and 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

now groups of survivors like the black rain association are gathering to make their voices heard. our members consider to. suffer from. the government. this 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 but 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 the mud was exposed 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 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
