fresh air after weeks or so of this but again this morning a blanket of toxic smoke covered the capital it really is quite unreal some of the scenes on the streets of moscow something from some kind of film as are going on now reports. this is not a scene from a science fiction movie with a post-apocalyptic plot this is moscow with every other person wearing a mask the city now looks like the center of a dangerous epidemic and like such a scenario people's health is at great risk with. the smog which just come to moscow has increased the carbon monoxide concentration in the air by several times this smog is very toxic and poisonous to greece we have registered a death increase in comparison with the usual summertime. shrouded in a smoky haze desperate people have tried everything from dampening cloth and putting it on the windows to using vacuum cleaners to suck in the poisonous air

unable to cope with the heat and toxic smog many are now fleeing the capital. staking her whole family on an unplanned vacation on a hunt for groups of fresh air. but i think there isn't one person who only moscow right now if they had an opportunity i felt sad for the elderly most of them are really stuck here. dr see the number of deaths has doubled because of the pollution authorities are trying to ease people suffering which includes heat stroke and dehydration so-called small centers have been set up distributing water and masks what i lack of air conditioners more of the initiative there may be no smoke in sight but the heat is unbearable and airports have become a mecca for tens of thousands who hope to keep the small choking the sea here orchard for the reason free countries are the number one choice because it's possible to leave ride the next day but besides that people go in in all directions even talk. countries which seem more comfortable compared to this heat but the

thick smoke delete flights turning many airports into suffocating traps for stranded passengers rain is now as highly sought after as snow at christmas weather forecast to see there will be a small decrease of temperatures and a change of wind in the next few days but unfortunately that's not enough while burning forest and the box are feeding the capital smog there's no imminent end in sight to the apocalyptic scenes you've got this going off or to moscow. well to speed up the process of fighting across central russia prime minister vladimir putin has gotten behind the controls of an and fabulous plane soon as put in a riot in one of the country's worst affected areas he swapped his own personal plane for an emergency one where he acted as a copilot. helped take water from one of the countries reverse the car and drop it into the burning forests two fires were extinguished thanks to the joint efforts of

rescuers. while you're watching on c.n.n. still ahead for you last second chance by women prisoners in the state of california are seeing their hopes of freedom dashed because of political power plays. the international nuclear watchdog says iran has taken the next step towards building a bomb we talked to an expert from tehran about the country's intentions and hear about the fears of the global community from an expert in london. human rights campaigners are outraged by a new e.u. project which would lead to the monitoring of everything at passengers do while in flight it's aimed at preventing terrorism but some believe it is a further erosion of the democratic right to privacy. off for a week in the sun but if the european union project goes ahead these people could have their conversations and movements monitored while they're flying the plan has

a law on civil liberties campaigners who fear further growth in the surveillance state but at passengers a divided yelling as this kid is like private personal you wouldn't i don't know this i think is a line and you keep pushing and pushing it with like the regulations and i think it's so prevalent already. with this expected you watch t.v. you watch t.v. you'll be surveilled and be surveilled and hear there's a more in me but nothing to hide so i wouldn't worry me personally. the e.u. project is aimed at tackling terrorism by analyzing the way passengers behave in a bid to isolate potential bombers or hijackers when they're already on board at the moment surveillance on planes is mainly limited to a c.c.t.v. camera near the cockpit britons are the most watched people in the world with more c.c.t.v. cameras per capita than any other nation there are cameras on motorways in train

stations and at ports and it's here at the university of reading that the new in-flight surveillance system is being developed it won't just include cameras they'll also be microphones and special systems for monitoring unusual behavior behavior the system will eventually be able to pick up include sweating moving around the cabin in an erratic way and repeated visits to the toilet dr james ferryman insists it will distinguish between potential terrorists a nervous flyer is now one way to do that is to look very carefully at the types of cues that we take so for example someone may be nervously anxious lee sweating in our solution because it doesn't say anything it could be just. but it could be a terrorist but we only know that when we combine this information with other sources of information that come to places. a lot to think of it as not big brother watching but big brother looking after you not everyone sees it that way campaigners say previous is one of the litmus tests for democracy and mass

surveillance erodes it enormously it treats every one of us us. and that completely contradicts the main tenants democrats of all news and incident into. continuing surveillance of mass surveillance video communications whatever the many ways that seem to just be creeping forward completely goes against that and we will . see apart from the civil rights issues many question the efficacy of an on board system if a terrorist isn't course at the airports they say by the time the planes thirty thousand feet up is it is already too late nor and it. london. is just turned ten minutes past the hour here in moscow you are with r t and the international atomic energy agency has said that iran has started the next stage towards building a nuclear bomb. he says the islamic state has developed

a second set of centrifuges which can enrich uranium to the twenty percent threshold experts fear can be turned into weapons grade material if enrich to around ninety five percent uranium can be used to build an atomic bomb iran insists its nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes only to listen to both sides of the argument. iran announced few wants back that it needs twenty percent enriched uranium for its radioactive medicine for four cancers patients and for agricultural products iran actually was always provided that the twenty percent enriched uranium for these particular reactor by international atomic agency but because of the sanctions iran has not been given. the twenty percent enriched uranium so iran. the i.a.e.a.

that i there you provide us with the twenty percent enriched uranium or else we have no other alternative but to enrich uranium in tehran they can always tain the isotopes the medical isotopes that are produced by the tehran research reactor from the international marketplace like most other countries do they don't need to produce it themselves the international community is very concerned most countries are concerned because twenty percent enriched uranium is very close to being able to be usable in nuclear weapons and right now iran cannot do anything with this twenty percent enriched uranium it is pretty producing except stockpile it for weapons purposes because it cannot actually produce the fuel for the tehran research reactor there are so many contradictions in iran's explanations that make observers very concerned indeed about its intentions but the sanctions

are actually hitting the iranian people rather than the iranian government although many people in the verse and in united states talk about intelligent sanctions but there is no such a thing as as intelligent or or a small sanction well we just don't know whether they will be effective or not i mean i don't think i'm not up to me. that they will persuade iran to change its pursuit of technologies that can be used in nuclear weapons but i think they can perhaps be effective in persuading iran to come back to the negotiating table you mentioned earlier in your question that it looked like he was on the way he's ready to talk again it might be but it's not clear now the the more sanctions that have been imposed in the past few weeks the more likely it seems that iran is willing to talk speculation of a possible u.s. military attack against iran has pushed iran to take

a rather unexpected council move former iranian revolutionary guard has said mass graves have already been dug for u.s. troops and followed comments by america's top military man last week that there was a contingency plan to attack the islamic republic the graves are in the southwest of the country where iraqi soldiers were buried during the war between the neighbors and. women prisoners in the united states who have killed their abusive husbands can see their chance of liberty snatched away many of those who've been granted parole have had their decision overturned by state governors rights campaigners claim even the most deserving inmates are rejected freedom because of the desire for political gain. meet norma when i first came here my son wasn't even a year old and i think that he. kind of sees me and the other women that he's met here at the visiting room he kind of sees like women that have. gone through

a lot and ended up in a still standing on our feet now forty years old she's been behind bars since one thousand nine hundred ninety two people convicted of killing her abusive boyfriend during a violent attack one of many in their relationship this is somebody who doesn't belong behind bars somebody who made a terrible mistake and readily admits that she made a terrible mistake by picking up a gun in the first place in two thousand and nine she was found to be suitable for parole by the california parole board that decision was overturned by california governor arnold schwarzenegger's a reality shared by many women here at the california institution for women in los angeles most have long histories of abuse from the person for whom they are convicted of killing down the road the university of southern california law school has taken up the cause of many of these women in a program called the post conviction justice project professor michael brennan is one of the founders our clients for the most part have committed

a single serious crime in their life and that's a crime that they're serving their sentence for they are represented by law students like andy martin i'm representing their saw garcia who was at the age of thirteen trafficked into the united states and sold to a man who for six years physically emotionally and sexually abused her garcia was forced at gunpoint to help that man drag and bury the body of the man he had shot then convicted of aiding and abetting so far she has served seventeen years in march she too was deemed suitable for parole the parole process is really the beginning of a long legal battle for the convicted it's. not the end of the story it turns out it's not even the end of this chapter parole for both garcia and could be and was just reversed by california governor arnold schwarzenegger of the four thousand cases that go before the board each year just about seventeen percent are found

suitable for parole and of those governor swartz a nigger has overturned more than sixty percent previous governor reversed ninety percent so why why this obsession with incarceration because most governors in california certainly at some point in their career feel that they may have. possibility of running for president they're concerned about granting parole to inmates who might go out and commit a serious crime but many of these women's records show they would not be a danger to society that they were young and scared for their lives or for the lives of their children. ok the crime or the number we. heard there on the way for them to be on the one. end of the line for many is here. in prison for life despite their

sentence you can't turn parole boy if sentences into. what we call l.-wop sentences life without possibility of parole simply because. victims rights groups or others think that if you've been convicted of murder you should never be paroled a broken system chance is given then taken away here and still hope the system will change for campian that she'll be reunited with her son it will work out in the end if if you really truly love somebody like the way that i love him i want him to be the best like even if i have to stay here forever i just want him to be. the best in los angeles christine for south r.t. . the military trial of the youngest detainee at guantanamo bay prison is now

and you can watch the full interview next hour right here on. oh i will now it's time to dive into the world of business news with kareena stay with us. hello and welcome to our business program good to have you with us russia losses due to the force and peat fires still raging across the country could reach fifteen billion dollars according to early estimates that record temperatures this summer may cost at least one percent of g.d.p. growth most of the money will be spent on restoring houses and compensation the first official figures are expected next week as a part of the federal statistics services report on july's industrial production the long term effect is unlikely to be known until the end of it here but some experts already claiming the impact will not be significant. because of all of the direct costs like the experience of extinguish the fires

because the emergency ministry has insurance costs are likely disfigure will be no more than several tens of billions of rubles but if you keep in mind that real budget is trillions of these expenses are just a drop in the oceans. and it's not just fires devastating the country russia is experiencing its worst drought in centuries due to high temperatures officials are expecting to harvest only two thirds of last year's amount of grain barley used by farmers as animal feed has already doubled in price care ward senior global economist at h.s.b.c. says the cost of meat and poultry globally could go up as well. well in the market is a very concerned about but possibility because obviously in two thousand and seven two thousand and eight we saw a commodity price spike of course a whole range of foodstuffs had a huge impact on global inflation and actually in some emerging markets it led to quite considerable social unrest we do however think things are different this year

and therefore we're more relaxed about what the current problems in the wheat market means for commodities across the food chain quite simply the difference is this time around that actually we had good harvests last year and therefore stockpiles across a whole range of commodities are in much better shape than they were a few years ago so we shouldn't see this we issue translate into other problems in either live still korean or in oil and therefore hopefully not for global inflation either. now the world bank has those countries not to follow russia's example and limiting world grain supplies that's according to reuters citing the bank's managing director now last week drought had rushed to impose a temporary ban on grain exports causing a shop spike in global prices meanwhile the world's number six weight exporter ukraine is facing delays after the new system of customs control came into force floods in india pakistan and china are also fueling concerns over food supply the

world bank says the new un bongos of wheat supplies could cause a global food crisis with poor countries first to suffer. but the markets finished in the red on tuesday with the r.c.s. shutting one point eight percent of the mines it's losing over what a half percent and energy majors were a drag on both the boys says ross knapp was the biggest loser on the buy six down over two percent while the oil said one point nine percent on the r.t.s. . more than one hundred thousand people fled moscow by plane on sunday due to heat and small blanketing the city most airlines so extra tickets for the we can but worsening weather conditions have led to flight delays at moscow airports that's all the business news for now but you can always find most stories on our website we have the crap. but it's horrible to see. the small bit of the climatic conditions we're experiencing the most does it have

a huge advantage of the business of making cars if we were to leave the city flying to the beaches in the south so i think go solve the destinations are doing very well in terms of the operation of. some small persians today what are your company's extension plans we're aiming to put. in local as his royal road. trademark has. five hundred routes that are about two hundred fifty rubles one boy so the key where you motivate people to fly is of course. is but you've got a couple that we've safety and reliability and safety is a key issue for us as well you have competitors on the russian market do you think russian market of low cost company is a way for low cost airlines i think will be the big driver of russian transport to develop into the next five years so the point is being made in many markets it's low cost airlines that really. had profit to mom and drug traffic growth i think

from a national perspective. the growth of low cost airlines is very important by liberating people to be able to travel by every cheaply you improve national identity you improve social cohesion you increase social mobility these are the plus points but you also very importantly i think lubricate economic growth because for small businesses in particular local aviation is very important and encourages into a city called mostly into into city business and finally last but not least you. think we can give a big boost to domestic terrorism and we can encourage russians to stay at home and have holidays inside russia very cheaply rather than trouble to to egypt old tokyo or so socially economically politically i think the local site is already important for russia but it will become much more important next five years. and that's all for now but you can always find all stories on our website that's actually got

called flash that's. first.

heard. on a. it

is seven in the evening here in moscow you are with headlines now fighting flames some of russia's wild fires are now under control but others are still spreading

claiming lives and homes. and a killer missed many muscovites fleeing the capital to get away from toxic small good health. plus big brother is watching you the european union's plans to install surveillance systems on airplanes and british human rights campaigners for violating privacy. well in about half an hour's time my colleague bill dog will be here but for now it's the kaiser report this time a look at so-called robot traders and software programs that are executing thousands of trades outside of business hours that's next right here on our thank you for watching. imax guys are welcome to the kaiser report markets finance and scandals and robot

trainers care rising wall street and the american and global economy let's bring in stacy herbert stacy herbert tell us more max kaiser well it is summer and summer is often the time of sequels so this brings me to the first headline deflationary blackhole the sequel who will wall street send to congress to extort fifteen trillion dollars this time yes they're back but before i start the whole that story i want to set the scene yes at this unhappy robber gunmen calls a restaurant to gripe so this is a restaurant in atlanta georgia and a man who robbed a wendy's at gunpoint last week apparently was so upset with his haul that he called twice to the restaurant to complain afterward he said quote next time there better be more than five hundred eighty six dollars poses

a brilliant i see we're going with this is brilliant because if the man were hank paulson and he was in front of congress they would have given him seven hundred billion you see because he's not a partner to wall street firm he's an untouchable in america's society he's an underling is part of the sort of class yes but as we also see the set up for a second heist of the american population it's a trickle down mood that they can get away with it like this guy obviously feels that it's ok and it's acceptable to just call and complain about how little you got the first time we only get seven hundred billion the first time we want a trillion or two trillion i think it's a good point the wall street bankers are setting the moral agenda and the american landscape and there's no leadership in white house to counter that with any kind of moral leadership whatsoever they outsource their morality to wall street and wall street of course is a cesspool well that brings us to the main headline deflationary blackhole.
