i don't quite know how it got there and why just a little bit over there with probably the bedroom because we can see the charred remains of the bed lying down there and this was evidently the kitchen there's the remains of us and some other kitchen paraphernalia like kitchen utensils and various other things so this was somebody whose home people lived there people accumulated their possessions and they lost all of it in a matter of hours one of the local residents here didn't want to go on camera but he showed us mobile phone footage of when the fire started it was literally just a wall of fire as tall as the trees it was terrifying and they said that it all happened in almost a matter of seconds there was literally nothing people could do the fire spread from the trees to the houses burning them down in seconds people losing everything that they've been accumulating for their entire lives now they don't know what to do how to start over again and this of course is just one of the villages in russia

where such a thing such a terrible thing has happened all across the country with the fires ravaging central russia for over a month thousands of people have been left homeless over five hundred injured and over fifty people have already lost their lives because of this terrible fire ravaging central russia i've been born and bred in moscow and i've never seen anything like this of course the people do tend to flare up every summer especially towards the end of the summer and on some occasions you could feel the smell but nothing as apocalyptic and as terrifying as this summer has been and of course the city especially in this city it's almost impossible to breathe with a level of talks toxic elements in the air above the a lot of the allowed limit quite significantly higher than the allotted limit and people of course have been finding it very difficult to breathe they are trying to use masks blood. those

masks that are widely available to the public and pharmacies are mostly used to prevent people from passing on their respiratory illnesses and flu like viruses so they work at preventing spreading the air that you exhale but they're not actually very good at filtering so the only way they do work is if you wet them but even then that works for only ten to twenty minutes so it's been very hard on the citizens of moscow. more than the small these terrible icon it makes my own eyes in. which. people should be working conditions the government. gives like human kind of an option there is stash engineer it makes my town sore and his view is dreadful and. so this is what been affecting russians for the last month it's very difficult of course breathing is almost impossible people try to do everything they can to avoid being outside to avoid breathing in this toxic air and

yes. it was an arctic i mean to live from moscow now the japanese city of nagasaki has remembered those killed by the second atomic bomb dropped by the us sixty the us sixty five years ago r.t. shaun thomas has more. the city of nagasaki is smaller than the city of hiroshima and so the ceremony was smaller and much more intimate as well but no less

important the time of the bombing about two hundred seventy thousand people lived here in the city seventy thousand of those people died at the moment the bombing let me give you a little bit of history he wasn't officially the primary target in fact. the city of kokura japan was supposed to be the target but when scouts realized that there were clouds covering the city they couldn't see the target they moved onto nagasaki which was home of a munitions plant at the time there were clouds over nagasaki as well. there was a break in the clouds they were given the go ahead to drop the bomb and at that time eleven o two the bomb exploded in japan that moment was marked here today with the air raid sirens and bells and a moment of reflection and word prayer as people stood for a minute in silence and then followed by a declaration of peace one of the main messages that people wanted to get out here today was their hopes that nagasaki is the last city that will ever have to endure a nuclear attack we also heard from the prime minister of japan as well as the

governor of the nagasaki prefecture as well as survivors of the atomic bomb explosion in nagasaki at the time we had the opportunity to speak to two of the survivors this is their story. sixty five years ago. was enjoying a simple morning bicycle ride when in a tragic instant his life was changed forever. i was thrown to the ground and i didn't eat piecing sound i thought i had been killed but i encouraged myself not to do that it was important to go on living. at first noticed his bicycle had been twisted and bent out of shape but as he started to move he began to realize the severity condition. my skin was dripping and i had severe. eleven year old yoshi kawi was at home with his twin brother just two kilometers from the blast center on that

fateful morning. at eleven o two i saw the flush with lights and give to the floor to cover my hand eyes and ears there was a wave in our entire house crashed over us. go and his brothers crawled from the rubble and went into the city to look for their father who worked at the mitsubishi munitions plant close to the heart of the explosion on their way they found countless charred bodies and a terrifying scene you have. while crossing the river we were drawn to a woman who was walking with what looked like a wide belt or cloth trailing behind her but when we took a closer look it was her intestines coming out of her stomach there was nothing we could do. this is the hyper center of the bomb which means sixty five years ago it exploded five hundred meters above this exact spot and the people who suffered that horrific event well their stories are truly amazing but what they didn't know back then and just as disturbing is the long term effects of that radiation the effect

is continuing. cutting her. that sixty five years. so that it true that the. radiation is affecting human bodies for sixty five years . has had continuous surgeries throughout his life to remove tumors on his back caused by the radiation now he declares that the war did not end in one thousand nine hundred five but rather the effects continue to this day and even though. he wasn't as severely injured initially as an adult he has endured liver disease and two types of cancer attributed to the bomb as well as the psychological damage of the event. the atomic bomb was extremely cruel america should never have to drop the bombs and human beings the tests in new mexico should have been the end of nuclear weapons once the power of these weapons was known but having experienced the wrath of the world's most devastating weapon these two survivors have one

shared message. saying people use the word deterrent but i do not believe that human beings can co-exist with nuclear. a reason why the a bombs survivors of hiroshima and nagasaki are pushing for peace and complete global nuclear disarmament thomas nagasaki japan. now it's unlikely nuclear weapons will be used any time soon despite fears in the west about countries like north korea that's the view of power rosman an expert on south asian affairs in moscow the full interview is coming your way in just how we're fifteen minutes time here's a quick preview. north korea has been threatening to spill shoes of blood and destroy imperialists and their marionettes for several decades i would not overestimate the actual threat if you look at it from a historical perspective it has become subjects for jokes i think they could not have kept silent in their current position to say something now what are they going

to say they threaten but nothing specific company sure there's been the liberalization in north korea the armed forces remained in their current positions . to india now where attempts to break down the traditional caste system are being met with resistance discrimination based on the system is now illegal but changing mindsets is throwing a lot more difficult and simply changing the law artie's current saying visited a school when eastern india to see how the problem affects people there. it's a problem that's been simmering but now so only davey sees it's fast reaching boiling point she's a newly appointed cook in this primary school and johnny board here to prepare the government funded midday meal but despite sony's best intentions some of the students turned their noses up at the many creations because she's a doll it or untouchable in traditional hindu society only upper caste cooks

a lot of community means that even now in some children don't want to trued me by me their parents consider the food polluted by my time church what can i do i'm here to make lunch in the school and treat the children here just like my own kids one hundred twenty million children across india receive a meet every working day in the largest school lunch program in the world but when the education ministry decided to send it cooks to get schools where the majority of pupils are upper caste hindus many found that hard to swallow. the media a meal can entice poor parents to send their children to school because look forward to it but there are some parents who don't want their children to eat food made by low caste people and have removed their children from here and also threaten us as well. meet the same family

a member of the upper caste raj board community they refused to allow their ten year old son to continue studying in a school which they felt didn't respect their customs and pulled him out immediately. we are upper caste we believe strongly in the cost system we cannot eat food made touched by somebody from a lower caste that's why we're moved to child from this government school and take him into party activist said this kind of reaction demonstrates the difficulty in eradicating the caste system discrimination on the basis. of cost is illegal in india but the practice is still entrenched in. with the kind of work you do who you could meet with is largely divided along. then that a much loved people are treated like at the upper castes or just about they tell us stay on one side wash the utensils that anything to humiliate test they want just

remain low and never rise that. the government says legal action will be taken against religious. groups and schools the earlier this is done the better after all this attempt to get children of all costs to eat together the specter of a who's made the food is a small but important step in the country's journey to bridge social divisions god and seeing are to. us now take a look at some of the stories from around the world and controversial muslim cleric album harbor shere has been arrested in indonesia for his alleged ties to a recently discovered terrorist group police believe the group was planning numerous attacks including the assassination of the country's president the cleric is considered by some as the spiritual leader of another group jemaah islamiah which was behind the deadly bali bombings eight years ago. that is when one president which obvious has urged colombian rebels to give up their hostages saying it would help pave the way for improved relations between the two countries and

this is public statement now we can meeting between the country's foreign ministers have made a meeting where the newly inaugurated colombian president possible to take place on tuesday relations between the two neighbors soured last month when the colombia's former president accused venezuela of giving anti-government rebels example which led to severing of diplomatic ties. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the country's military did not violate international law by storming the gaza about a flotilla in may the comments were made during his time. i'm only given to the panel investigating the delhi raid the internal inquiry into the highly controversial attack which left nine turkish activists dead was sort of under considerable international pressure the defense minister and the army chief are also to give evidence later this week. but we're up to date now and it's time to catch up was stephanie and the latest business of the whole gas definitely and well

some of these that we're hearing is that we may be about to see a new fertiliser giant in russia is that right marina one of the main shareholders and cali is looking to get a controlling stake in potash producer sylvie net and create the second biggest fertiliser producer in the world i'll have more in just a moment but first. grisel has filed a request for a russian mine and the real cynical to hold a new general shareholder meeting the argument in joint owns about a quarter of neurosurgical and is not happy with the results of the miners the new general meeting on the twenty eighth of june at the meeting board representation fell from four people took three we saw it is now battling for control of the mining company with the russian conglomerate interest group which also owns a twenty five percent stake here so wants to us to sell. us bottom and produce a stillwater mining and to minimize activities outside of the caucasus. and you fertilize the giants may sprout up in russia this week what are the main

shareholders in oral kelly suliman curbeam of plans to acquire a controlling stake in potash producer so we knit much the holdings with his company then you fertilizer producer is estimated to be worth twenty billion dollars and it could become the second biggest in the world off to the canadian potash corp off currently owns a quarter of so b. net but plans to buy the other thirty percent stake with a consortium of bias is also in talks to buy shares in brother scully and force. russia's first and low cost airline sky express is facing the prospect of having its license revoked because of financial problems and a lack of reliability it was supposed to be a pioneer in the new world of low cost travel in russia so will it ever be possible to fight cheaply in russia or china put it finds out. this airplane costs about ten dollars unfortunately this is the closest trust funds can get to a low cost airline in this country of regular air carriers so even the last six

flights at the price of many people's monthly salary and russians are craving for the discounters so popular abroad eight pounds from liverpool to crack of twenty euros from all sorts of front for russia's first low cost airlines sky express was meant to be like that however it and that are praising prices to match the network airlines but without the reliability or in-flight service constantin to tear down the head of charter airlines redwing says flying low cost is very expensive in russia and the experience of sky express proves it is impossible to repeat the business model of ryan there or is it just warners do it. it's only possible to make a quasi low cost airline was just a budget carrier who will have one or two but they won't be able to have such extremely low tariffs as in europe or the states constance in says russia offers

few opportunities for a carrier to strip out expenses at twenty percent temperate juta on planes and monopolize asked services contribute equally to all russian carriers and the cost is high then most cities just don't have second half was which are widely used by discount as in other countries and it's equally difficult for foreign low cost carriers to operate here mainly because of legislation it's were strictly regulated. system of bilateral agreements between russia and all european and actually all the countries which limits their number of carriers number of distant nations to the frequencies of slides number of seats in their drive to overcome this is their ocracy and these limitations. any airline actually marse bound to

a lot of air france minor. course. during the. spring to. try or procure resources whatever russia's aviation rules were created in soviet times. just a couple of planes a day and that is the government should reform of the airspace code if it wants to develop cost effective and travel for the general public this could prove the way for greater competition in the industry and make flying in russia less free for the few. business aren't to. own let's have a quick look at how the markets are doing the nikkei has shed three quarters percent on monday with export names and once again leading the decline on continued strength in the yen that follows worse than expected u.s. employment data on friday suggesting economic recovery is losing traction behind sanders edged into the black on a choppy trading day in hong kong tough as investors wait for

it what you are going to live from moscow marina joshua data and our top stories the crisis marked by wildfires raging across russia shows little sign of easing over fifty people have already died and hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest have burned down. meanwhile people are fleeing the toxic smoke covered russian capital with many suffering breathing difficulties both in their homes and outside the number of deaths in moscow has doubled since the record heat and smog since the city. and its sixty five years since the u.s. dropping second atomic bomb on japan survivors of the deadly blast in the city of nagasaki are calling for a complete global leader disarmament. nuclear weapons can't be used to attack these days and can't solve any problems either that's

a view of rosalyn an expert in south asian affairs in moscow in an interview with r t's and tell you not go he explained why he believes the north korean threat is blown out of proportion. they did a pretty big north korea had threatened to attack following joint south korean u.s. move as well because the fifth north korea senshi declares that it is ready to attack any vessels that come to that designation legion to take part in the mini this was north korea said press if in its response. this falls into the line of be a viewer that is generally considered as aggressive a general aggressive stance north korea has been threatening to spill she's a blood and destroy imperialists and their marionettes for several decades i would not overestimate the actual threat if you look at it from a historical perspective it has become subjects for jokes remember the late one

nine hundred fifty s. jokes about the one thousand two hundred fifteen serious changes warning so they issued warnings but nothing followed i think they could not have kept silent in their current position and they could not have approved of the maneuvers they had to say something now we're going to say they threaten but nothing specific happened there's been no new bill is ation in north korea the armed forces remain in their current position i think it's just natural for north korea to take the stance of a military that's how would it most i think they're not actually chances off. and i . think it is so i don't think that the united states is interested in any kind of intentional on exacerbation of the situation and going to extremes taking into account the fact that they have problems in iraq as well as an afghanistan therefore starting up something new was unlikely at the same time and naturally has concerns just.
