here's parker we are trying to extinguish them in total during the whole time that these fires have been raging for fifty people have now been killed and around five hundred people have been injured in the fires and several thousand people have been deprived of their forms basically there probably were just courage to be. currently living in temporary shelters and the off doughty savored to give them full compensation for their property and also to give each affected family a new home in the nearest future and artie's more youthful notion i went to see the full scale of the devastation that these fires have wrought rushes in flames. the hottest summer on record has also become one of the most destructive massive forest fires have already burned about thousands of factories of land with the wind speed of twenty meters per second it's moving through fourth as you can see behind me it's approaching now leaving behind at trade devastation. this used to be

a small picturesque village naslund beautiful pine forest some one hundred fifty kilometers south of the russian capital and paradise to the three hundred people that live there with a kindergarten. and a community hall it will never be the same again it to dismiss for a frightening display of mother nature's food force to change it for a 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 later she's bag hoping to find something tagged 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 here i feel really scared when i saw the red glow of the fire and the black smoke you know i've seen houses and barns burning 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 meets corridors in rooms but it's the only shelter they have now. we won't see things from this care they feed us here very well they talk to us and we have a corner to sleep. but they hope this take here will not be alone or that this is we've already got about seven thousand dollars in compensation each

pensioners and jobless a bit more but what we are 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 a rebuilt the victims of this unstoppable and merciless force who try to rebuild their lives and consign these ghost village to the past all here would rather forget. t. . well while russia bakes in the heat central europe is swimming in floods heavy rains have caused rivers to burst their banks and left at least fourteen dead and several of those missing in the last few days the flooding the struck an area near the borders of poland germany and the czech republic hailstorm strong winds and torrential rains destroyed bridges damaged buildings and ruined crops thousands of had to be evacuated from the worst affected areas helicopters are plucking people to safety from the ruins of their homes and states of emergency have been declared in a number of cities. is in mourning as

a remembers of the victims of the war with georgia two years ago hundreds were killed when tbilisi attacked its breakaway republic in august of two thousand and eight artie's correspondents are following the anniversary on both sides of the conflict. several sorry monies have been help their publics president who are quite delayed grief stole the places that have become symbols that were pulled was two thousand and eight here and seen evolve one of those places was a local school number six nearby which a lot of people have been killed and it has become involved has become one of the places where reefs are laid annually in a small village of he thought i would have outside of involved and museum called museum over burned souls was opened it basically looks like dozens of burned down cars put in a circle with the monuments in between them many families have died in those cars trying to escape south asia as the war broke out and they were simply burned down by the georgian tanks first racoon began last night at eleven thirty five pm that's

moment here in south the set here is remembered vividly as two years exactly from now i'm sorry two years ago exactly at that time georgia began its assault in south a city and opens fire many people are wearing black in south the city it's a day as well as some believe it is buildings that are covered with black fabric very sad day here indeed but let's not forget that in just about two weeks time people here will be celebrating the second anniversary of the commission of independence of the republic and that will take place on the twenty sixth of august will the reconstruction is in full swing here many over infrastructure objects have been restored several more schools and kidan gardens will be finished by the september also many people have received new homes that they can now live in of course it's still a long expensive and difficult process so some are still waiting for new homes local university still hasn't been restored but i was here last year as well as two years ago and i can tell you what i see with my own eyes is definite progress small

airport is being built outside of the capital to involve so life here is slowly getting back to normal and as my cold night eyes he's a reason based here reports it's not zero. conception is taking place not only in the republic but also in the relations between the south the city and enjoy living here. yes she is a georgian who lives in south acedia she was born here in didn't leave his home even during the war he has a small farm and keeps a reasonably sized garden needs but what you know this family was swallow's is his favorite pasta salad he says. he is it safe for you and ethnic georgian to live here in south a city especially after two years ago georgia atop this republic you are going to have written it is safe here no one is bothering us the surgeons were saying don't worry don't go away stay even during the war no one came and told us

a leave. the overwhelming majority of the population in this a city in the village we yashin these are georgians most of pharmacy or small scale traitorous some regularly travel to georgia as that's where they nearest hospital is 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 trunks yeah. here's your boss board 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. there are no problems between the elderly people like us we have nothing to petition it's the people in power the government.

we need peace first of all we need to all of us friends would just like both of us sitting here there must be a new confrontation between georgia and. brothers and sisters here. to police the status of the fuses to recognize the sovereignty of its format to a tree 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 is to separate independent countries. from self-esteem and it does look like on the other side of the georgian south of the border the attitude towards the war its causes and consequences is also changing as my colleague. from b.b.c. . and so i can tell you the attitude is changing if two years ago people did feel that there was a right time president because for his behalf to start a confrontation with the sense here two years later that attitude has changed dramatically a lot of people do not believe that conflict of any sort is the way to go in fact

many of them most of the people who live in georgia have already been through several bloody conflict so a lot of people are feeling very strong antiwar sentiment in fact. quite a few people came out on the streets today in order to protest the decision that was made two years ago by president successfully to attack a south the said there is also a very strong anti-war sentiment amongst the representatives of the opposition forces in the country labor party has actually called for sanctions to be imposed on the georgian president they did not specify what sort of sanctions but they did say that it is time that the international community has let it known. actions like the ones that were taken by the georgian president in the summer of two thousand eight hundred no circumstances be repeated every again and about let's have a listen to what the leader of the conservative party had to say on the matter is well within the. big very big.

confrontation with russia the results are and we see the results of georgia to. be integrated dean. so after two years or. so it was one of the biggest states for sure but you also have to remember that at this point president president really is not stepping off the war path in fact georgian citizens are being bombarded by messages that russia was the main aggressor in two thousand and eight and russia is getting ready to strike again but really has actually made a speech just at the end of last week at the ministry of defense meeting saying that very thought to say the country should be prepared for an attack at every single moment that every village every resident of every town should be prepared to take up arms and go defend their country reporting from our to go in the georgian

capital tbilisi and italian overcoat from south well following the conflict in south a decided to recognize the independence of the republic and another georgian breakaway region. i mean as a capital russian president dmitri medvedev talked about the reasons behind the move. the decision russia made after the military conflict wasn't an easy one but time is shown it was the right move for the existence of the uprising in south the city and people was at the time under threat and if those decisions weren't made the situation would have been totally different. made that i've also said he was glad to see a life changing for better in the region and promised that russia would continue to help with reconstruction the next step is likely to be the resumption of direct air travel to abkhazia which will stop after georgia's war with a republic in the early one nine hundred ninety s. . coming up in a few minutes here on our team food for thought farmers in hungary say they're

being starved of business by e.u. policies that are being treated more like a colony and a partner. but first it's been sixty five years since two japanese cities hiroshima and nagasaki became the only places on earth where atomic bombs were deliberately used against civilians more than two hundred thousand people died either in the blast or due to radiation poisoning after the u.s. launched its nuclear attack during world war two on a friday hiroshima held at the biggest memorial yet remembering the victims of the tragedy for the first time washington center representative it was also a first visit for u.n. secretary general ban ki moon but despite those international attention there are still a group of victims in japan that are only now getting help and recognition. 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 clash heaven and earth overturned and then we heard a blast. on the black queen started to turn away blouses black with spots and even though here in faeces were between the bomb sent a mushroom cloud into the atmosphere creating its own weather system pouring down the radioactive soup 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 consumer to survive but more than eighty percent of us suffer from serious origination related illnesses and cancer we just went to government to record. this building was destroyed in the initial

blast and miraculously this wall was left standing it is 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 but is given scientists the information they need to help black rain survivors. two or three years ago we found nineteen 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 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 in. the commission that identified the original area calculated the mushroom cloud at eight kilometers but by finding the bunted school and all the pilots and where photos were taken we can get a better idea of the real height which ended up being sixteen two on the doors more

than twice that we had thought 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 r t hiroshima japan. dr robert jacobs from the peace institute believes the u.s. presence up a ceremony marks a turning point in washington's attitude. i think that there's still

a lot of contention in america over how that how these actions were viewed how the bombings of hiroshima nagasaki were viewed it was only in one thousand nine hundred five 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 people 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. a group of former military and intelligence officials from the u.s. are demanding immediate action from president obama to prevent war in the middle east they claim israel is counting on washington to offer support for an attack on

iran as early as this month this comes just days after u.s. top brass refused to rule out a strike on the islamic states which includes former cia agent says a war in iran will ignite a regional conflict that could lead to be annihilation of israel terror on has repeatedly refused diplomatic relations with israel as it maintains the jewish state has no right to exist political analyst michael chossudovsky believes that any israeli action would have to be given the green light from washington. saying it's there is a lot of very. serious. people of course this is that's should be taken very seriously it is to keep them a military standpoint impossible israel so actually launched the wall of a liberal and with the green light for the united states 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 and that the war plans which have been ongoing since two thousand and four have been a joint program of the us they total and israel so that in fact these war plans are already ongoing it may be convenient for washington to let israel unleash the attack and in fact dick cheney back in back in two thousand and four intimated that israel might do the work for us so to speak iran has ten percent of the global oil and gas was five times those of the united states it's a it has tremendous wealth and ultimately war in that region is the battle for oil and natural gas the threat of war is real the implications are far reaching if that war were launched. within the next few months the whole region with player up from the eastern mediterranean right through to the chinese border. what's in

a name well russia's millett see it could soon be finding out president medvedev wants them to be renamed as the police the title of the force held before the bolshevik revolution almost one hundred years ago the move which includes a number of other measures will be up for public discussion including on the internet last december the president ordered sweeping reforms to the law enforcement agencies proposals included cutting the number of officers by about a quarter and keeping only the most qualified that believes he has come under intense pressure recently after several high profile cases of murder and corruption by high ranking officers. a stony as held a military exercise commemorating nazi collaborators the annual international war game called the air in a raid honors a reconnaissance group that work behind a red army lines during world war two russia says the exercise glorifies the stoniest cooperation with hitler's regime while talon claims it's just a sporting event estonia comes in for frequent criticism for honoring nazi

sympathizers for a british member of parliament glenn ford believes a drill may be a lot of support for the nazis on a political level but what concerns me about this it appears to have some support from if you only officials would be a stone in government and that's what's much more concerning because that indicates if you will into a political collaboration with the people or organizing this event it's clearly both offensive a bizarre well there is a new enthusiasm for extreme sports see it around and a nazi collaborate to organize a should. only 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 i can't imagine the denny where would you support for this kind of event. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe twelve people have been killed in

a spate of attacks targeting police across afghanistan in herat near the iranian border a regional police chief and three bodyguards died when a suicide bomber struck their vehicle in a car packed with explosives another local commander was shot dead along with six others when gunmen stormed his home in northern couldn't do his province and in khandahar an officer died when the minibus he was travelling in struck a roadside bomb. at least one hundred twenty seven people have been killed in the landslides triggered by heavy rain in western china two thousand are missing after floodwaters tore through the gansu province toppling buildings and overturning cars the disaster is the latest to affect the country this summer which has seen the worst seasonal flooding in a decade. for federal police commanders in northern mexico have been suspended over alleged links to drug cartels on saturday two hundred officers detained one of before at gunpoint on suspicion that he does that he was involved in murder and kidnapping more than twenty thousand people have died since president

felipe calderon ordered a crackdown on the cartels in two thousand and six. the rich and fertile lands of hungary have long made it an enviable source of food production but the farmers there say that since joining the european union in two thousand and four they've been losing money artie's alexei ski has been hearing about their plight. this is one of the biggest bird farms in hungary more than ten thousand geese and ducks bring quite a profit for its owner liver goose and duck eggs are in high demand she says his land is perfect for this kind of business only countries in western europe and the u.s. we in hungry keep are birds in open spaces to climb in an environment allows that that's why did the world produce a collage you can keep your meat and eggs 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 this dock farm has to seek other markets including japan and china it has been very hard for him to sell it continent 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 this 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 which e.u. membership promised and care in farming suffered a serious blow. brussels have a special program to develop regional agriculture and which promises bigger income for farmers 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. 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 shelves to have at least thirty percent of domestic production on their shelves hungary has a moratorium on purchases of farmland by foreign as farmers say this is the only thing which keeps their agricultural sector from being completely overrun the ban expires in april next year and it's unclear whether the euro commission will love budapest to extend it. see reporting from hungary. in a few minutes when we bring us. both reading that help george w. bush taking us presidential see for stay with us here on our team.
