showers drink as much water as possible and of course try to avoid reading this unfortunately weather forecasts aren't really giving any cause since they say that in this heat the hot weather is likely to stay and just talking about moscow this small is may dissolve but not sooner than the middle of next week over fifty people have now been killed in these fires and several thousand people have lost their homes or to use money if the north went to see for yourself how devastating these fires can get. rushes in flames. the hottest summer on record has also become one of the most destructive with wind speed twenty meters per second it's moving off as you can see behind me it's a frozen out leaving behind a trail of devastation. this used to be a small picturesque village naslund beautiful pine forest some one hundred fifty

kilometers south of the russian capital a paradise to the three hundred people that lived there with a kindergarten a church and a community hall it will never be the same again it to dismiss for a frightening display of mother nature's fool force to change it for river twelve perished in been through some in her refined circumstances panic has been spread among people as fast as the flames have been engulfed in their homes five people an old couple and modern the son and another woman decided to hide in a basement their place of refuge became their tomb temperatures inside became too hot to survive. most people in the village managed to flee elaine it was one of those that escaped a day later she's bag hoping to find something in tact but it's all in vain all the

flames were really high even above that salzhauer and the black smoke filled all the space below i thought really say or do when i saw the red glow of the fire and the black smoke you know i've seen houses and barns reading but here the entire village burned down completely this was really horrifying. the dormitory of a local college has become a new home for dozens of homeless its staff in smoky kodos in rooms but it's the only shelter they have now. we won't see things for all the scare they feed us here very well they talk to us and we have a corner to sleep. but they hope this tape here will not be alone or that this is we've already got about seven thousand dollars in compensation each pension isn't jobless a bit more but what we're really especially waiting for at the new home they promised it for every family within the next three months and we're ready to wait.

when the house is a rebuilt the victims of this unstoppable and merciless force who try to rebuild their lives and consign these ghosts religion to the past all here would rather forget riff notion r.t. mosca region. and hiroshima is marking the sixty fifth anniversary of the day it was devastated by u.s. launch nuclear attack more than one hundred forty thousand people died in the blast or from radiation poisoning after the u.s. dropped a bomb in the final days of the second world war and there was a surprise this year's ceremony when of this year's ceremony rather when the u.s. announced it would send a representative the first time that's ever happened u.s. ambassador job was on hand to observe the events but offered no official apology despite this international attention there are still a group of victims in japan that are only now getting the help and recognition they deserve artesian thomas in hiroshima and filed this report. 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 brain. that there was a big heaven and earth overturned then we heard a blast and the black korean started to turn away. and even though here in faeces were. 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 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 that suffered now groups of survivors like the black rain association are gathering

to make their voices heard you are members or not consider to. suffer from. illness and. the government. this 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 is given scientists the information they need to help black rain survivors. three years ago we found nine thousand houses with mud under the floorboards because when the houses were built we know when the 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. commission that identified their original area calculated the mushroom cloud at eight kilometers but by finding. the pilot and where 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 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 hiroshima japan. and dr robert jacobs from the hiroshima peace institute believes u.s. attendance of the anniversary ceremony marks a turning point in the country's attitude. i think that there's still a lot of contention in america over how that how those actions were viewed how the bombings of hiroshima nagasaki were viewed it was only in one thousand nine hundred five that at an exhibition commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the bombing at the smithsonian institution in the united states that there was controversy over including photographs of him shot along with the display of the enola gay but i think that the attendance of the ambassador today is a testimony to president obama's desire to effect healing and to find finally get over the division that's happened over through this bombing and i believe that this is laying the groundwork for obama himself to attend the ceremony

sometime in the future or to visit hiroshima sometime during his presidency watching r.t. coming to live from moscow still a common program the good life awaits. the russian parasailing donkey mistreatment provoked global outrage from i am a lot gets a hollywood bank over at the kremlin riding school more details in her celebrity life later in the program. south the city is remembering the victims of the two thousand and eight war with georgia hundreds were killed went to release the attack the breakaway republic with artillery and tanks two years ago for more now we're joined by our teaser in english go who is and georgia and who is and solve the city of well first let's go to natalia and to tell us a bit more about how people in south the city are commemorating the events remembering what happened in south ossetia. well the moral ceremonies have started

late night last night here at exactly eleven pm thirty five minutes so the first ceremony started because exactly. at that time two years ago georgia opened fire in southeast asia so everyone here vividly remembers that day and that's our here on central square of thousands of people have gathered for their requiem that lasted until six o'clock in the morning they stayed here for hours holding candles and remembering the victims and other topics president addressed his people trying to reassure them and give them some hope that their if the situation will never be repeated it's simply similar ceremonies are held throughout the republic another big one is held in the village of that suffered the most from georgian aggression that was nearly completely destroyed there today and museum of thirty souls is opened to remember all the victims a lot of people wearing black in south the city it's a very sad atmosphere here indeed but not to forget that in just about two weeks time here people will be slightly more optimistic as they will be celebrating the

independence of their republic that is on the twenty sixth of august. all right thanks for bringing us the mood in the city a bit we will return to a later bernard i would like to cross to your rena who's in georgia going to tell us about what's happening in georgia how are people reacting to what's happening in one of the think about what happened two years ago. as a matter of fact of course people there's not much going on in terms of can remember commemoration of course but a lot of people do consider this to be a very tragic day you have to understand that georgians have already been through several wars they have been through the uprising in the starting wars at the beginning of the one nine hundred ninety s. with thousands of people dying hundreds of thousands running from their homes so and then and then of course the war of two thousand and eight has also left an imprint on people's minds very scared they're right that another war may be coming and the georgian government is not doing anything to help them in order to ease the tension because georgian citizens essentially are being bombarded by not almost

never ending messages that russia is the aggressor and russia will strike. again soon and of course those messages are most of the time coming from presidents or anybody else one of somebody else at the top of the georgian government at the same time georgians hope that nothing of the sort will ever happen again they do believe the president really has acted to say the least the state police irrationally and. two years ago some of the members of the opposition in georgia believe sanctions should be imposed on the georgian president they do not specify what sort of thing but they do think that the international community must show their disapproval of the president's actions and listen to. the member of the conservative party has to say on the president's actions two years ago. the. results

are and we see the results. being degraded. for. the biggest mistake for sure. so basically what you have is a country that is living in a constant fear of another war and you have the government that does not do anything in order to ease the tension also the president of the international union of georgians on saturday has issued an apology on behalf of more than two hundred thousand georgians living worldwide issued an apology to the set in the nation saying that it is very regrettable that the actions of one irresponsible man who was not thinking straight have caused this rift between georgia and south the city

who historically and traditionally have a lot in common and should be good neighbors. ok thanks for this now let's go back . tuna tyin the south assyria there and especially how are people two years on try to please their lives together tells me more about the restoration going on in the republic. while a restoration is in full swing a lot of their infrastructure has been restored that was completely destroyed during george's aggression a lot of people really. for a lot of people new homes have been built and construction works can be seen anywhere everywhere throughout republic so life here is slowly getting back to normal and as my colleague might as ease of our reports any construction is not only taking place in the republic but also in the relations between georgians and south the city is leading here. is a georgian police in south acedia he was born here and didn't leave his home even during two war he has
