pretty much among the most tricky one seriously can go on for months deep underground and surface from time to time anything new small and new carbon dioxide over fifty people have been killed in these fires still for thousands of people have been injured and thousands of people have been uprooted and their homes have been destroyed in these fires off duty say that just breathing this air for several hours is equal to smoking two packs of cigarettes that's why they advise everybody to stay inside to shut all the windows to drink as much water responsible to take showers and to avoid reading this as much as possible and of course use masks wherever they have to whenever they have to go outside these conditions are of course more dangerous for people with court and long problems and truly several thousand firefighters and volunteers are fighting these blazes across russia but

weather forecasts aren't really giving much hope because they say that this heat is going to continue and that just in moscow alone the small is expected to start dissolving not sooner than by the middle of next week certainly sounds like tough times for everyone there igor and especially you would know that thousands of people lost their homes as they watched the houses burn to the ground so tell us a bit more what's happening to these people are they getting any support at all from the government. over two thousand people have lost their homes in fact there have been really troubling stories of how some victims of these fires tried to hide in the basements of their home and they died as the as their homes were burning right above them but those from managed to survive these fires they now. who have been thriving of their homes they are now forced to live in temporary shelters the government as. to pay them for compensation for their forms and also to build new

homes in the nearest possible future president dmitry medvedev has been across from the holding news conferences talking to officials and personally monitoring the situation and orgies murray if emotion wants to see the devastation that could be caused by this fire for herself. rushes in flames. the hottest summer on record has also become one of the most destructive with a wind speed of twenty meters per second it's moving off as you can see behind me it's approaching 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 more scope and paradise to the three hundred people that lived there with a kindergarten. and a community home it will never be the same again it to dismiss for

a frightening display of mother nature's food force to change it for rever. twelve perished in through a new sun in her a fine 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 the basement at 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 and a later she's bag hoping to find something in tact but it's all in vain or players who are really high even above that tower and look like all the slaves below i thought really scared when i saw the red glow of the fire and the black smoke you know i've seen houses and gardens reading but here the entire village

burned down completely this was really a horrifying. the dormitory of a local college has become a new home for dozens of homeless it 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. that this is you know already got about seven thousand dollars in compensation each pension isn't jobless a big moment but that's what we're really especially waiting for the new home they promised it for every family within the next three months and we're ready to wait. when the house is rebuilt the victims of this unstoppable and merciless force who try to rebuild their lives and consign these ghosts really to the past all here

would rather forget riff notion r t mosca region. south the city is remembering the victims of the two thousand and eight war with georgia hundreds were killed in the fighting which followed police as attack on the breakaway republic with artillery and tanks two years ago artie's correspondents are in georgia and in south the city are following the story. well the moral ceremonies have started late night last night here at exactly eleven. thirty five minutes 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 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 projects president addressed his people trying to reassure them and give them some hope that there is the situation will never be repeated similar similar ceremonies or help throughout the

republic another big one is held in the villages that suffered the most from georgian aggression that was nearly completely destroyed there today a museum of birdie souls is opened to remember all the victims a lot of people wearing black. it's a very sad atmosphere 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 now they would like to cross to reno who's in georgia 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 there is 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 georgian citizens essentially are being bombarded by 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 president saakashvili or

somebody else at the top of the georgian government at the same time georgians hope that nothing of this sort will ever happen again they do believe the president because really has acted to say the least if you think believe you rationally and responsible 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 thanks they do thank that the international community must show their disapproval of the president's actions with. big. results are we seeing the result for. the self. being degraded. from.

the biggest mistake. let's go back to the south assyria there and especially our people two years on trying to please their lives together tells me more about the restoration going on in the republic. of restoration is in full swing a lot of the infrastructure has been restored that was completely destroyed during george's aggression a lot of people. for a lot of people new homes have been built. construction works can be seen anywhere everywhere throughout. life here is slowly getting back to normal and as my colleague. reports every construction is not only taking place in the public but also in the relations between georgians and south the city is leaving here. in south the city he was born here and didn't leave his home in jordan or his small farm and keep still reasonably sized garden. but this family. is his

favorite pasta and he says. he is it safe for you an ethnic georgian to live here in south a city especially after two years ago georgia atop this republic. it is safe here no one is bothering us. we're saying don't worry don't go. staying even during the war no one came until the sleeve of. the overwhelming majority of the population in this city in the village. of georgia's a pharmacy or small scale traitors some regularly travel to georgia as that's where they nearest hospital. this is a checkpoint controlled by russian border guards they hear not only to secure the republic but also to guarantee free movement of the locals who live in this segment to georgia and back this is essential as many of them have relatives on both sides

of the front. of all here's your passport thank you. the roads are bad and displaced war public and it can take several hours to reach the capital so many go to georgia to shop. now there are no problems between the orderly people like us we have nothing to petition it's the people in our government. we need to use first of all we need to would just like both of us sitting here million there must be a confrontation of young george associate an uprising will grow brothers and sisters here doug. to release a status of users to recognize the sovereignty of its former territories but these two old friends georgian authority and a city in sergei say the time has come to restore relations between georgia and south city and is to separate independent countries nato says about r.t. from self-deceit him. and south ossetia saw

a real conflict but coming up our special report looks a hell of a georgia news report about a russian invasion cause nationwide panic that's about an hour's time here in r.t. . one of the key elements of democracy which is so uncomfortable for me authorities. who pays for the news. how dependent dues this independent media. and who is behind the t.v. story. georgia media fiction and reality on. hiroshima is marking the sixty fifth anniversary of the day was devastated by u.s. launch nuclear attack and more than one hundred forty thousand people died either in the blast or of radiation pies or poisoning after the u.s. dropped the bomb in a file days of the second world war there was a surprise of this year's ceremony as the u.s. sent a representative the first time that's ever happened while the u.s.

envoys attendance was viewed as a step in the right direction some in japan also want to vishal apology especially as there are some victims who are still suffering the consequences even now are to shun thomas' and hiroshima and sent us 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 rain. there was a big. turn. green started to turn away. and even though here in. the bomb sent a mushroom cloud into the atmosphere creating its own weather system down a radioactive suit filled the rain on to 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 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 the black rain association are gathering to make their voices heard. our members consider to. suffer from serious radiation related illnesses and. to governments. this building was destroyed in the initial blast and miraculously this wall was left standing it has been 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 area 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 one thousand houses with. because when the

houses were built we know when the mud was exposed and 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. goal the commission that identified the original area of the mushroom cloud as eight kilometers but by finding the poor old 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 thought traditionally to be more than 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 a story. the bombing of hiroshima may actually have been a message to the soviet union. the reason for bombing hiroshima was that it had not to city had not been previously bomb that was a virgin targets of the speak so to drop one bomb to obliterate an entire city with one bought one bomb which showed the power of this new weapon the united states hacked 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 and should

demonstrate it so demonstrating it would have to bomb a city well you couldn't bomb a russian city because you were now of russia had a bomb in any city and you still have an enemy combatant so you buy a japanese city dropping that bomb on tokyo would have made sense because tokyo was awarded 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 certainly brought the message home . and you're watching live from moscow still come in the program food for thought. less than a decade ago had their soul to everywhere across western europe yeah but no but overall for other markets including egypt. it has been very hard for him to sell it called for. by now why farmers in hungary once a european bread basket say they're being starved of business joining the e.u.

four years ago. and this week a new round of violent clashes erupted near the carriages capital riot police used tear gas and sound grenades to disperse anti-government protesters who were demanding an opposition leader be made prime minister up to thirty people were detained including the man the protesters want to put into power or modbury to vasa has already warned of four trying to stage a coup five years ago when the now ousted combat but if it was in power the country suffered months of deadly political and ethnic on the rest since but if was overthrown in april i spoke to the country's minister about the roots of the violence and the prospects for social economic stabilization they can catch the full interview in fifteen minutes but here's a taster. there are several large groups one of them includes the overthrown president to visit media family m to supporters who used to

be in the country's government will be vary from the second political group is those who are waiting for the fighting saves to get exhausted before to suddenly appear in the political scene but there are three key groups fighting for power in the country these events are governed by their aspirations as you will do before. and after ninety three years the russian militia could soon be given the title of police again in a bid to reflect the professionalism of the force at a meeting with security officials meter maid we have proposed it as a part of his top to bottom overhaul of the country's law enforcers. he's sure so. ever since the bolshevik revolution our law enforcers have been known as the militias this emphasize their popular or proletarian nature i mean they were volunteers in uniform but today we need professionals honest and well coordinated people good at their job this is why you think it's time we gave our law enforcers

back their original started calling them out of. the proposed law which includes a number of other measures will be up for public discussion the forces currently are going to perform earlier proposal suggested cutting the number of opposite by around a quarter keeping only the most qualified the militia has come under fire recently after several high profile cases of murder and corruption by high ranking officers . bratislava roski was officially sworn in as poland's new president on friday comes just four months after the previous leader died in a plane crash in russia and one of the new president's first initiatives has sparked protest in warsaw hundreds gathered outside the presidential palace to boycott a decision to move a memorial to the crash victims the one who cross was affected in the central square shortly after the accident in which more than ninety die a new president wanted to move the memorial to church ground but after the protest

transfer has been postponed. and u.s. hip hop star weikel of john has formally and heard of the presidential race in haiti born on the island he's been actively involved in reconstruction efforts after a deadly earthquake devastated the caribbean nation earlier this year when journalist laura harvest asked people in the big apple what they think of celebrities switching from entertainment to politics. why cliff john an american music celebrity is running for president of the haiti do you think pop culture and politics should ever max this week let's talk about that if you look around here you go. you go it's a few celebrities around here and if one of them was suddenly. stopped for him to provide a bit of probably take more and more attention as opposed to somebody who's pop's other guy running the treasury or something else you know i've just been in years

in them entertainment business how would that prepared me one for politics like i don't think that and i was my whole point i think you should stay where he should is that mainstream town entertainment otherwise just start low not a president exactly somebody like by clip john has a possibility of being able to raise huge amounts of money for haiti i mean his international media awareness makes him an interesting figure in the possibility that haiti which needs desperately to get a huge amount of worldwide support to rebuild he actually could help make that happen and she just before him do what they got until when that's it we come to watch them we don't need their opinion i don't like it i mean if you have a lot of money and you have nothing else to aspire to but maybe higher office than when i use your money for that may whitman of california is an example you know she spends gobs of money and so does carly fiorina and what qualifications do they have

to go for the top office right away senator and governor so there's ego involved you think well that's what i said bennett and you know say he lived there he knows these people whose families they're on tuesday he's been poor he lived in a he had to drink out to ponder some you know say he knows what the people want. in the case of my class he's ok celebrity to be a politician. he's ok but they're not even think people from different profession. backgrounds should ever get involved in politics the bottom line is you can make your opinion count but you vote. the right chance for lannes of hungary have long made a source for food production by farmers they are saying that since joining the european union in two thousand and four they've been losing business. has been examined their plight this is one of the biggest and hungary more than ten

thousand dogs bring quite a profit for its owner liver and duck eggs are in high demand he sas he's perfect for this kind of business countries in western europe in the us we in hungary keeper birds in open spaces the climate in the brain when allows that that's why did the world produce. less than a decade ago how gary and ducks were sold to everywhere across western europe and the c.i.s. but now the owner of the stock farm has to seek other markets including japan and china because it's been very hard for him to sell it and he says that ever since his country became a member of the european union he had to reduce his stalk almost two fold that out of the russian market i mean buyer in favor of the market return now that you're apart from france wasn't interested in our products seriously in fact the demand and farm owners had to secure their stock because according to new regulations

keeping it was too costly in two thousand and four the country was accepted into the european union but instead of greener pastures membership promised from gary in forming suffered a serious blow. brussels have a special program to develop regional agriculture and which promise bigger income for foremost but it has brought little result local producers have been losing more than a third of their revenue every year since two thousand and four compared to the nine hundred ninety s. and now even their own market is practically close to them i mean foreign supermarkets flooded the hungarian market with cheap goods which are being far better promoted than domestic products and according to e.u. regulations we cannot these supermarkets to sell our products the only thing we have managed to do to avoid a complete destruction of the local market is to push through the legislation which obliges these shops to have at least thirty percent of domestic production on their shelves hungary has

i'd like to clarify what really happened it wasn't a rally but rather an armed attempt to seize power but this was an obvious fact proved by numerous witnesses nevertheless therefore simply didn't let the crowd into be scared like the when they started storming and beating up police officers one of whom the siege is the injured and taking away their service weapons we have to use of force within the legal limit such things are likely to happen again this political struggles hobbling against the backdrop of an unstable situation so the would be tempted to try to seize power in this way there are powerful groups within this war. do you know who those powers might be. there are several large groups one of them includes overthrown president of the median family i'm supporters who used to be in the country's government you will believe in the second political group is those who are waiting for the fighting sides to get exhausted before suddenly appeared in the political scene but there are three key groups fighting for power in the country.
