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 and 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 where the fires are 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. all right let's go to the latest now on the situation in

the small stricken russian capital with. close to the kremlin so. moscow is a disaster area with the smoke tell me what are the conditions like where you are. the conditions are extremely difficult at the moment the environmental situation is critical she. is the mine years in this square which is one of the main tourist attractions in moscow because it's just several hundred kilometers away from the. party probably the square but it's usually people take pictures off the kremlin says this is one of the most ideal places the now you see the kremlin because the small is so big it's hard to read without a mask. right here but despite the fact that i would. be. watering. yeah in fact officials say that the levels of

carbon dioxide in the hair grow you double the norm and they have buys everybody to see inside to to drink as much water as possible and to hold themselves themselves down because the seat is also quite intense it's around thirty degrees celsius that the moment which makes it even more difficult to breathe for everybody really in the city people are of course the concern about the situation the authorities have organized these so-called small centers across the city where water and masts are given out there was forced out pharmacies many pharmacies across the sea are sold out of medical masks because people think that they would be useful in these conditions but in fact i've been told that these medical masks are really of no use in this conditions and what you need and i want to show our viewers clearly in russia you would need these types of masks which have an opening here and they have a filter which filters the air that you breathe lots of people are trying to leave

the capital to small free regions however the fact that seventeen regions are affected by the fires and also infiltrated by this small detail for many too difficult to leave the city that's why the locals here in moscow are very concerned about the situation us listen to what some of them had to say. and i see more of the small these terrible i can breathe it makes my eyes each and nothing helps no matter what we do with it where masks were put went curtains over the windows. which are of wood people shouldn't work in such conditions the government must send him home. lives like. there is station here it makes my throat sore and his view is dreadful. at the moment people are just praying for a change in the weather for a cooling in the temperatures and for some rain but unfortunately we're. forecast

all for a little while saying that this heat is likely to stay and that the winds may change only in a couple of days and which means that the small me start to solving only in a couple of these time so moscow is below likely to continue to be covered in this blanket off the stocks and small now the doctors in moscow have said that their death rates have doubled they say that this is because of the smog and the environmentalists are all also be concerned about the situation and already talking about some extreme consequences that this emergency could bring. to his trouble. related to a nuclear power plants because because of what he and the forest fires some of the nuclear power plants has been shut down last to be actually according to the child or information be expanding more shutting down the free outdoors. at least five

nuclear plants across russia and the other problem is a. forest fire sale ready approach the. forests going to be needed for id of people after chernobyl and this is actually a big threat of spreading right around to get around the country. as you can see some of the consequences of the same urgency are you could be come to really get that massive scale we're talking about nuclear nuclear waste and now here which would form the environment and it's not all this small and the fire so hopefully the situation will stand allies and moscow will. release itself wilfried self from the smog and then your station but like i said they be where the weather forecasts so far are offering little for. you go to you can put your mask back on now you can because from reporting from the center of mass from tax. well lit. come this hour

here on r.t. animal rescue. it seems like the fire was playing a game of cat and mouse with an animal shelter springing on it from different sides and it seemed like the game was almost lost just a couple days ago when the fire was called us one hundred fifty meters in that forest find out how workers at a wildlife sanctuary managed to prevent a tragedy that's in about ten minutes time right here on our team. the japanese city hall has remembered those killed by the second atomic bomb dropped by the u.s. sixty five years ago. reports. 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 of the bombing let me give you a little bit of history nagasaki 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 about eleven 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 inward 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 those 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 of his own condition. there. on my left arm and shoulder all my skin was dripping off and i had severe burns on my buddy. 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 lights and drove 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 had. 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 just as disturbing is the long term effects of that radiation the effect is continuing. cutting her. that means 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 mom as well as the psychological damage of the event. the atomic bomb was extremely cruel america should never have dropped the bombs and human beings the tests in new mexico should have be. 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. 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. nuclear weapons are unlikely to be used anytime soon despite fears in the west about countries like north korea well that's the view of an expert on south asian affairs in moscow the full interview is coming your way in just fifteen minutes time here on our t.v. but here's some of what he had to say. three. years been threatening to spill she's a blood and destroy imperialists and their miriam and it's for several decades i would not overestimate the actual threat if we look at it from historical perspective it has become subjects for jokes i think they could not have kept silent in their current position to say something now we're going to see they threaten but nothing specific company there's been the bill is ation in north korea the armed forces are mean to their current positions.

shelter who can help is helping do anything possible to keep the wolf or in this case the fire from the door because behind it live a thousand different animals with no escape. each has its own story this monkey was no longer wanted because he has diabetes each day he needs two shots of medication and gives back a little thank you for the care. however his and his friend's new home is in jeopardy flames are threatening to overrun the shelter it seems like the fire was playing a game of cat and mouse with animal shelter and spring on it from different sides and it seemed like the game was almost lost just a couple days ago when the fire was called us one hundred fifty meters in that forest the dancing flames were almost doubled as ditch quickly dug by tractor and workers from the animal shelter aren't of buckets shovels and fire hoses their efforts pushed the flames back by kilometer but the danger remains. right now the

fire is coming from that direction we put out the ground five of the treetops of burning to it so hot on issues will metal saying for almost a week employees from the animal shelter how flawed the flames around the clock we have thirty workers and most of them are here just a few are taking care of the animals evacuating around a thousand animals is very difficult almost impossible and you cannot do it quickly special equipment is needed for some species like bears so they've had little other choice than to fight nature's full fury themselves but with little help from the authorities. when we tried calling the firemen they told us that fire trucks have busy and we have to extinguish the fire sounds like you can put in and manpower the firemen say there's only so much they can do it we're working double shifts additional shifts people shouldn't be insulted by have to fire trucks and provide help where it's needed there is no threat now for the villages animal shelter or

anyone else the fires are under control. this means more of the water could now be used for more peaceful purposes timothy cross or archie mosco region. or i will catch up with the latest news now with stephanie so we may be a bouncer so your new fertilizer giant in russia that's right laurie one of the main shareholders in overall cali is looking to get a controlling stake in potash producer sylvie net and create the second biggest fertilizer producer in the world i'll have more in just a moment but first. russia's car joined after passes to resume production on monday the company suspended production for a week in august you to up normal heat in the some are region after the us has seen a sixty percent boost in sells for july year on year as the car giant continues to benefit from the state sponsored cash for clunkers program and continued economic recovery. resell has filed a request for russian miner neurosurgical to hold

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 a jet wuornos 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 he won't be able to have such extreme low tariffs as in europe or the states constantine says russia offers few opportunities for a carrier to strip out expenses at twenty percent temporary juta on planes and monopolize asked services contribute equally to all russian carriers and the cost is high then most see it is just don't have second airports 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 there were strictly regulated system of bio ware traill agreements between russia and all european and 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 the is there of course a and these limitations. any airline actually must spend a lot of efforts minute. course. during the. war would spring to. try and approach the resources whatever russia's aviation rules were created in soviet times when some airports serve 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 air travel for the general public this could prove the way for greater competition in the industry and make flying in russia less awful much room for the few. businesses are to. run that's a quick look at how the actor markets are doing on monday the russian markets here moscow of both more than one percent higher this hour energy names are leading the gains with gas pumps the top performing blue chip on them by six banks are higher two would be to be answered about both more than one percent in the black. and european shares have jumped on monday with mining firms and oil and gas producers leading a broad based advance or giant b.p. gained two percent after it said cementing producers on the leaking well in the gulf of mexico have been successful the times that is among the top again is on the docks just under two percent higher this hour. and news from the tourism industry half of the hotel rooms in moscow are empty and it's not just because of the heat and smog according to a survey by real estate company knight frank the average annual occupancy in moscow

is slightly more than fifty eight percent the sector did grow three percent this summer but the figure is much lower than in most european countries however average hotel prices are among the highest one night in a typical moscow hotel will set you back three hundred dollars while in her she would pay just two hundred and thirty. that's all the business use for now but of course you can always find more stories on a website that's r.t. dot com slash business.

with your headlights on the crisis by wildfires raging across russia shows little sign of easing fifty people have already died and hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest. people often. toxic smoke covered russian capital with many suffering breathing difficulties both in their homes and outside a number of deaths in moscow has doubled since the record heat and smoke seized just the city. and its sixty five years since the us dropped a second atomic bomb on japan survivors of the deadly blast in the city of nagasaki are calling for complete global nuclear disarmament. well those nuclear strikes on japan are the only example in the history of atomic weapons being used to attack

today the only possible use of such arms is self-defense but that's the view or. an expert on south asian affairs who is based here in moscow in an interview with r.t. as an italian overcover he explained why he believes the north korean threat is blown out of proportion. seven a pretty a big north korea said it was prepared to give a military response when the south korean and u.s. naval exercises in the yellow sea why do you think the reaction was so aggressive. or. this falls into the line of be a viewer that is generally considered as aggressive a gentle aggressive stance north korea's 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 what are they going to say they threaten but nothing specific happened there's been no mobilization in north korea the armed forces remain in their current position i think it's just natural for north korea to take the stance . that's how would it know without the u.s. imposed new sanctions against north korea at the same time it seems that north korea was nearly ready to go back to the six party talks do you think the u.s. is adding fuel to the flames will do or i don't think that the united states is interested in any kind of attention on exacerbation of the situation and going into extremes taking into account the fact that they have problems in iraq as well as in afghanistan there.
