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 farther you can see behind me it's a road leaving behind. 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 a church and a community whole 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 the inferno sun in her refined circumstances panic has been sprayed in among people as fast as the flames have been in gulf in their homes five people an old couple and mother and a 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 and a day later she's bag hoping to find something tacked but it's all in vain all the flames were really high even above that small tower and the black smoke filled all the space 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 barns were heading 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 its staff in smoky kodos in rooms but it's the only shelter they have now. we won't see things for all this care 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 engine isn't jobless a big moment that what we're really especially waiting for the new home they promised it to every family within the next three months and we're ready to wait. when the houses are 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. reef notion r t mosca region. and south a city is remembering the victims of the two thousand and eight war with georgia hundreds were killed in the fighting which followed police as a tag on the breakaway republic with artillery and tanks two years ago artist correspondents are really in georgia and south are following the story. well the moral ceremonies have started late night last night here at exactly eleven. 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 thousands of people have gathered for their record in that lasted until six o'clock in the morning they stayed here for hours holding candles and remembering the victims. other projects president addressed his people trying to reassure them and give them some hope that there if the situation will never be repeated it's simply similar ceremonies are helped 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 a museum of bertie souls is opened to remember all the victims a lot of people wearing black. 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 now they would like to cross to rina who is 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. commemoration of course but a lot of people do consider this to be a very tragic day 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 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 that we do face value 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 but they do say that the international community must show their

disapproval of the president's actions with. big. results are and we see this is out for george. to. be integrated. so i. think. the biggest mistake for. a president continues to capitalize on that in the aftermath of the two thousand and eight war with that is according to a lot of politicians and political analysts here and probably most glaring sign of that would be a recent statement that he has made during a speech at the ministry of defense he has called for total militarization of georgia saying that every every citizen of the country should be prepared for an

imminent strike from the enemy more details on what exactly the presence of us really wants to do with the military and how that will affect relations between georgia russia and other countries more on that in my report now. you know president mikhail saakashvili is up in arms over his country's defense capabilities . each village should be able to defend itself there should be small train units in each village and each settlement which have a certain number of arms so that everyone can defend their own land. and this is the two thousand and four in south the city the georgian president appears to hold the belief that force is his country's enemy number one still plans to attack georgia claims and this calls for full scale military. what you know that if the enemy forces decide to advance from the ethnically cleanse territories. every square meter of georgian land should burn beneath them that's the task the

president's rhetoric has got many concerned not only in south the city and the other former georgia republic of a cause but even in georgia itself human rights activist really sees it as another attempt by the georgian president to hold on to his authority which has been severely shaken following the conflict of two thousand and eight expensive this campaign will be used against so maybe sarkozy to start some kind of new easy dance a new war these. breakaway regions just in order to survive to keep his power because you know what is excuse always agreements war you know he can do everything and i think since the main reason militarization comes at a price just over four hundred million dollars is being spent on defense this year and while the georgian government continues to claim the need to pull the country out of the economic recession just twelve million dollars is being spent on

economic development. many analysts claim georgia mainly survives on loans from the west such as of recently approved fifteen million dollar loan from the world bank something here this money will go towards health ins billy c. prepare for another war what happens when the world bank adds to that to those to those revenues the body is rearranged that allows you to spend to jus to redirect the which was no belly. tax your health and education your redirected military expenditure and then you use the well back money to find an education that is the way it works with his country deeply in debt and the people hoping for stability in their lifetime the georgian president has to task on his hands but it seems for now really is what concerned with dealing with a perceived military threat and hyping up the danger he was courting. georgia.

and south said he saw a real cause like but coming up our special report looks at how a fake georgia news report about a russian invasion cause a nationwide panic and that's about twenty minutes time here in our team. one of the key elements of democracy which is so uncomfortable for me authority. who pays for the news. how dependent does this independent media. and who is behind the t.v. story. charge of media fiction and reality on our t.v. . 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 either in the blast or of radiation poisoning after the u.s. dropped the bomb in the final days of the second world war there was a surprise of the ceremony as the u.s.

sent a representative the first time that's ever happened and un secretary-general ban ki moon was also they are to commemorate the anniversary and this trip was his first to the event as well despite the international attention there are still a group of victims in japan that are only now getting the help and recognition they deserve 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 brain. that there was a big heaven and earth overturned then we heard. 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. our members are not concerns or to. suffer from serious radiation related illnesses and. we just want the governments to recognize. 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 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. 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 of the mud 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 the original area calculated the mushroom cloud as 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. japan still waiting apology for what he calls a crime against humanity. well this year that the first time that the ripper sent out of the united states. to japan participated in the ceremony so people appreciated that but the. the the u.s. government it still hasn't you know any apologies to two survivors i mean the bombing of the large number of civilians is of course clearly was clearly against

international law a crime against humanity participating in the ceremony it's a step towards the official record a recognition of the crimes that the us government committed so i hope someday soon the u.s. government. official apologies to. those. also look i'm here on r.t.e. food for thought. less than a decade ago and gary and ducks were sold to everywhere across western europe and the c.i.s. but now that overall the stock farm to see other markets including japan and china there's been a very hard for him to sell it in his own called to. find out why farmers are hungry once a european bread basket in say they're being starved of business is joining the new four years ago. had a group of former intelligence and military officials is demanding immediate action

from barack obama to prevent a war in the middle east they claim israel's counting on washington to offer unconditional support for an attack on iran as early as this month it comes just days after u.s. top brass refused to rule out a strike on the islamic state the group which includes former cia agents as a war in iran will ignite a regional conflict which could lead to the allocation of israel to iran has repeatedly refused diplomatic relations with tony bennett as it maintains the jewish state has no right to exist political analyst michel chossudovsky believes an e.u. . only action would have to be given the green light from washington. saying a series of. very. serious. people of course this should be taken very seriously it is technically from a military standpoint impossible for israel to actually launch a war on iran with all the green light from the united states we have to understand

that this this is not strictly an israeli military project the united states since the mid ninety's indicated iran as a possible target of the war plans which have been ongoing since two thousand and four have been a joint program with us today total and israel so that in fact these war plans already ongoing it may be convenient for washington to let israel unleash the attack and in fact dick cheney back to back in two thousand and four intimated that israel might do the work for us so the speak there on it is ten percent of the global oil and gas was five times those of the united states that it has tremendous well ultimately war in that region is the battle for oil and natural gas the threat of war is real implications of far reaching if that war were

launched. within the next few months the whole region with flare up from the eastern mediterranean right through to the chinese border now this weekend new round violent clashes erupted near the kenya's capital riot police used tear gas and sound grenades to disperse anti-government protesters who were demanding an opposition leader be made prime minister after thirty people were detained quoting the man the protesters want put into power very fast something he's already wanted for trying to stage a coup five years ago more than. to come back to kiev was in power the country suffered months of deadly political and ethnic on ras since but cave was overthrown in april and r.t. spoke to the country's interior minister about the roots of the violence and the prospects for social and economic stabilization and you can catch the full later of the full interview or other later in the program but here is 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 the second political group is those who are waiting for the fighting saves to get exhausted before suddenly appeared in the political scene but there are three key groups fighting for power in the country all 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 policing gatt in a bid to reflect the professionalism of the force at a meeting with security officials determined to be at a for a poll said as a part of his top to bottom overhaul of the country's law enforcers. he sure. ever since the bolshevik revolution or along it were shares of the known as the militias that emphasize their popular or proletarian nature i mean there were tears in uniform but today we need professional should be honest and we'll coordinated

a sporting event in the stone year as one of widely criticized for honoring nazi support for a british european parliament member glenn ford believes the drill is offensive but what concerns me about this it appears how some support from if you only officials were near stone in government and that's what's much more concerning because that indicates if you want to a political collaboration with the people realizing this event it's clearly both offensive a bizarre that while there is a new enthusiasm for extreme sports you basing it around a nazi collaborating organization you know for all of the second world war the generally across the european union the vast majority of people will be horrified about what's going on there always are a small minority of people who actually sympathize with the nazis but they are extremely small these days and i can't imagine that anywhere would support for this kind of event. live from moscow don't forget that we've got much more on our website r.t. dot com including top videos blogs forums and galleries so here's
