each center packing up bags to be sent to needy families i know what the people brought today but all of that is valuable aid we only got one is my bag of things that we couldn't use nobody had enough clean food we need now medicines water and can meet. this may not seem like much to look at but for those who've lost almost everything in these wildfires inside these boxes of vital reminders of their past lives the toys for kids who no longer have any cooking equipment for those who lost it in the flames here it's the kind of survivors that's probably hope to many in their darkest moments. they are called for help is only growing stronger as the fires continue to rage the moscow region has been one of the worst affected areas and it's thrust charity workers into the role of the living body to aid where it's needed most and owing to the location of many of the devastated regions is proving to be a challenging task looked almost impossible to push these people really need health

systems though it's no easy matter even to organize meals for such a large number it's hard to organize everything in small villages where there are sixty people we have to send because with water and fire extinguishing equipment people from neighboring villages volunteer they simply do have the resources to put a little love thy neighbor is a sentiment not lost on those giving their time and belongings to help people in need. even those who don't believe can perhaps take some solace but people like alexander a marine are there to look out for them. normal weather conditions are now joined by dr fred goldberg a climate analyst from the role of technology in stockholm thanks very much indeed dr goldberg for joining us as you can imagine it's pretty grim for us here in moscow and plenty of other parts of russia and not only are we concerned about the effects of these fires but also really perplexed why this country should be experiencing such abnormal heat this summer what's your reasoning.

very heavy high pressure. positions. in two thousand three. hundred pressure pushed up a lot of hot air from. creating the loss of many lives and. quickly i know you're talking about high pressure and various reasons but we actually seeing a very very big change in global climate. change from climate is a weather phenomenon. the high pressure. bringing up from the tropics to your area and we've got some of the more weather to in scandinavia. so many scientists. many scientists

is saying that this is a result of c o two emissions this is global warming caused by man and. there are a group of scientists who are living in sea and politicians who want. to . provide the politicians. to get a lot of research money to play with climate. if you think if you think about the industrial revolutions have happened in the last two hundred years the amount of c o two emissions and also the fact according to. recent surveys. we are seeing big changes in weather for example just recently the flooding in central europe and also in asia also the extreme temperatures in the southern hemisphere these are all happening quite recently in comparison to the history of the world so surely he must have some connection to. be in the floods.

all the time to read the entire of television fifty years ago so we never heard about it then the same way we are hearing about it today and also remember that we seldom hear any reports about how cold it was last winter that's one million died in machinery. in south america right now it's terribly cold you never hear about it we only hear about the heat waves around the world which is sort of a bit strange to me. sorry did i mention carbon dioxide yes it is also really important to mention doubt if there's only a three hundred eighty five parts per million carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and it stands for one percent of the greenhouse effect ninety five percent of the greenhouse effect is water weight but the people are never told about these facts. out of the window here and see all the traffic in. all the c o two emissions we're

also very concerned about carbon monoxide poisoning here you're talking about an effect surely that effect by the very nature that so much of the world is now being covered i've been cities short of that will have big effect on climate. climate you're talking about temperature measurements. where all these temperature measurements will find that most of the airports. are very unnatural temperature that is being recorded to register and if you want a very accurate measurements globally you have to go to satellites measurements and they differ quite a bit from the measurements that the i.p.c.c. are you seeing in their reports claiming global warming it's very interesting also that. perhaps we could expect colder weather on the way now it doesn't really seem possible when we think about the weather at the moment but could perhaps rather see a much colder winter as a result of. this thing so there climate is controlled by. and

ocean currents right now we have the same conditions as we had in the early one nine hundred forty s. which were the cold winters so i predicted that this last cold winter in may last year and i'm predicting another maybe even colder winter next year coming in the winter. and also predicted a warm summer which seems to be correct well. sorry we have to leave it yes so it sort of will have to be but as fascinating what you have to say and also the fact that you did predict a very hot summer will be remembered what you said about the winter as it heads towards us here in russia thanks very much indeed dr fred climate on us from the role institute of technology could have your naughty thank you. thank you very much . when we come to you live from the russian capital plenty more coming your way only this hour including nuclear brinkmanship international nuclear watchdog says iran is taking the next step towards building

a bomb we took the next but from tehran about the country's intentions and hear about the fears of the global community from experts in london. confession extortion youngest prisoner. is facing military trial for crimes he says was tortured into admitting. human rights campaigners are outraged by a new e.u. project which would lead to the monitoring everything and passengers do in flight it's aimed at preventing terrorism but some believe it's a further erosion of the democratic right to privacy. all 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 are divided yelling as bad this kid is like a private person or 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 surveilled is annoying 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 in 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 anxiously 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 and come to places. a lot to think of it as not big brother watching you 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 treats. completely complex maintenance of democratic. and incident into. continuing

surveillance of mass surveillance video communications whatever many ways that seem to just be creepy completely goes against that we are all democracies 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 a plane's thirty thousand feet up is it is already too late lor and it's r t london . the international atomic energy agency has said that iran has started the next stage toward building a nuclear bomb the i.a.e.a. says the islamic state has developed a second set of centrifuges which can enrich uranium to the twenty percent threshold which experts fear can be turned into weapons grade material if enrich to around ninety five percent uranium can be used in building an atomic bomb to run insists its nuclear activities of peaceful purposes only so there is a column a professor of political science says the international community has no grounds

for concern over iran's nuclear development. the person you're a new enrichment which the war hearing about is not anything new iran announced a few wants back that it needs twenty percent enriched uranium for its experimental reactor its products are are 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 because of the sanctions and because of the dispute between iran and five plus one iran has. not been given. the twenty percent enriched uranium so iranian air. that i there you

provide us with the twenty percent enriched uranium or else we have no other alternative but to enrich uranium into iran more aware of this sanctions are actually hitting the iranian people rather than the iranian government although many people in the press and in united states talk about intelligent sanction but there is no such a thing as as intelligent or a smart sanction women prisoners in the us have killed their abusive husbands can see their chance of liberty snatched away many of those have been granted parole had the decision overturned by state governments 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 you know still standing on our feet now forty years old she's been behind bars since one thousand nine hundred ninety two 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 the 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 a 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 with 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 schwarzenegger has overturned more than sixty percent previous governors 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 those are the ways. the way for me 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 of 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 zero r.t. . the military trial of the youngest detainees at guantanamo bay prison is underway

in cuba twenty three year old canadian born was fifteen when he's captured on a battlefield in afghanistan he's accused of throwing a grenade which killed an american soldier in two thousand and two during a pretrial hearing on monday he pleaded not guilty to all charges including murder conspiracy spying and assisting al-qaeda he claims he was tortured while detained at the u.s. military base in afghanistan before being moved to guantanamo the alleged violation of violations of human rights have been discussed by the united nations if convicted he faces a maximum life sentence. nor professor and author of the book the effect says that military commissions are president obama's best chance to prosecute alleged terrorists. president obama well he pledged to close guantanamo and hasn't been able to do that. never said that there were no be no military or trials or prosecutions of guantanamo detainee so i think we need to be those are

two separate issues i'll deal first with the issue of the trials themselves president obama well he was campaigning had pledged not to continue with military commissions and now we see that military commissions are indeed going to happen president obama was able to amend the military commissions act that's the law that govern these trials that he had inherited from the bush administration second he did a complete review of all of the remaining detainees in guantanamo to determine the outcome of those cases i really think that we can understand omar kotter case at the time best case for what will happen to the high value detainees and their prosecution it remains to be seen whether any of the high value detainees will be brought into the united states for

a federal trial at this point that looks unlikely there for a military commission seem to be president obama's best option to prosecute the a legit mastermind of the nine eleven attacks not to bring up state for the moment when all of the business news is coming up shortly with kareena and i'll be back with a recap on top stories after that. hello and welcome to our business program good to have you with us russia losses due to the forests 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

a year but some experts are already claiming the impact will not be significant. little small because of all of the direct costs like the expensive extinguish the fires because the emergency ministry has insurance costs and the disfigured 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 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 followers 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 then the market is a very concerned about that 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 week issue translate into other problems in either live still korean or in oil and therefore hopefully not for global inflation either. the world bank has those countries not to follow russia's example and limits in 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 the shop spike in global prices meanwhile

the world's number six wheat export or ukraine is facing delays after the new system of customs control came into force floods in india pakistan and china also fueling concerns over food supply the world bank says the new unbar goes on wheat supplies could cause a global food crisis with poor countries first to stop. russian 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 energy majors were a drag of both of those ross never was the biggest loser on the buy six down over two percent while lukoil said one point nine percent of 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 sold extra tickets for the weekend but worsening weather conditions have led to flight delays in moscow airports now for more our team has talked to c.e.o. of the russian discounter nova and rapine. it's horrible to see the small

good climatic conditions we're experiencing and what does it have a huge impact on business and my encourage people to leave the city and fly to the beaches in the south so i think i'll sell and destinations and to grow wealth in terms of the operation i mean it has had some some small impact on oil prices to date what are your company's extension plans we're aiming at to put. those royal. i'll trade mark has been five hundred roubles they are bhatkal two hundred fifty rubles one boy so the key way of motivating people to fly is a cold. but you've got a couple that we've safety and reliability and safety is a key issue for us as well you have combat areas 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

local stylize that really draw you had profit to mom and drive 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 i can only 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 we can encourage russians to stay at home and have holidays inside russia very cheaply. trouble to to egypt. markets so socially economically politically i think it is already important for russia but it

will become much more important in the next five years. and that's all for now what you can always find most always on our website that's our t dot com slash business .
