people in their fight for relief from the fire devastation those compelled to help have organized aid centers bringing vital necessities and generously donating their time for the benefit of the victims. ascites that's becoming all too familiar for russians but wildfires of ravage the country are showing no signs of letting up in their wake they've left thousands displaced and only ruins where communities once stood and as firefighters continue to tackle the blazes people in russia's capital have begun pitching in to bring relief to those who need it the most alexander turned up this morning after harrowing t.v. reports spurred him into action. this is the first time i'm actually going out to search for them i just sort of reconnaissance mission for me they loaded my car up with everything they could i'm going to seek out families in need and unload the seed wherever i find them and he's not alone these women are at the heart of this aid relief center packing up bags to be sent to needy families and more don't get what the people brought today but all of that is valuable aid we only got one small

bag of things that we couldn't use we already have enough scenes where we need now i medicines water milk and canned meat. 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 all in the flames here it's the kind of survivors that's probably hope to many in their darkest moments. they are quiet 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 pivotal role of the living by to aid where it's needed most owing to the location of many of the devastated regions is proving to be a challenging task force looked almost pushing these people really need help and

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 fusion fire extinguishing equipment people from neighboring villages volunteer they simply do not have the resources to love thy neighbor is a sentiment not lost on those giving their time and belongings to help people in need. even those who do believe can perhaps take some solace but people are going to extend a marina a van to look out for them. greece. to help speed up the process of fire fighting across central russia even prime minister vladimir putin got behind the controls of an amphibious aircraft as soon as he arrived in one of the country's worst affected areas putin swapped his own plane for an emergency one where he acted as copilot the premier helped take water from one of the country's rivers the okai and drop it on to the burning course two fires were extinguished thanks to the joint efforts of the prime minister and the rescuers. as russia

battles with the media the problem of putting out the blazes the long term effects of the disaster are unclear but as of that team. from russia's main weather forecast center says this summer's blazes will affect the country's ecology for years to come. but look at this but i think the consequences are really disastrous because many would have burned down but it will take a lot of time to make up for it which can be planted within one season if enough time and money the other cases yes they can be planted but it will take time for them to grow it will take several decades to make up for this loss we've lost the loans of the most school region i mean contributing to air purification and oxygen production we've lost these loans which is a considerable blow against the environment of the metropolis and of the whole of the european part of russia another point is that quite a number of heavy particles have been added to the atmosphere i mean carbon monoxide it's combination with atmospheric vapor leads to carbon acid formation resulting in acid rains later on which can inflict even greater damage on the woods

by destroying foliage and trees. and stay with us here on our team we've got lots more headed our way including nuclear brinksmanship the international nuclear watchdog says iran has taken the next step towards building a bomb we talk to an expert from tehran about the country's intentions and hear about the fears of a global community from an expert in london. first though the military trial of the youngest detainees at guantanamo bay prison is underway in cuba twenty three year old canadian born omar kotter was fifteen when he was captured on a battlefield in afghanistan cotter is accused of throwing a grenade back killed an american soldier in two thousand and two during a pretrial hearing on monday he pleaded not guilty to all charges including murder spying and assisting al-qaeda he claims he was tortured while detained at a u.s. military base in afghanistan before being moved to guantanamo the alleged violations of carter's human rights have been discussed by the united nations if convicted he faces a maximum life sentence lawyer eric montell though says the whole trial breaks

american law. well i would just label the whole process is a travesty you know you know we've got a juvenile who by our own signing we've agreed not to prosecute juvenile offenders. so we're breaking our own law second issue it's about we have five alleged coconspirators in the line eleven conspiracy who within the last year offered to plead guilty in the commission system and they're still haven't been brought to proceedings and there's no end in sight i mean they have assigned to some of these cases six to ten prosecutors to prosecute one case this is outrageous there are people that can eat in this country there are people that don't have a house and yet we're spending millions upon millions of dollars on this process and we're getting absolutely nowhere and then we look at the priorities of who we're trying to prosecute we've got a child we've got a child who by law we're saying is not culpable of doing the things that we we're

prosecuting him for and yet we're spending all of our resources and he's the first one in the tube to go not to mention that you have the fact that he doesn't he's gained such a jaded distrust of anything associated with this he can't even make appropriate counsel choice and so he's not even represented in these proceedings human rights campaigners are outraged by a new e.u. project that would lead to the monitoring of everything air passengers do in flight it's aimed at preventing terrorism but some believe it's a further erosion of the democratic right of 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. or you'll be surveilled to be surveilled here is a more image but nothing to hide so we don'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 almost always 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 acting nervously were anxiously sweating in oscillation because it doesn't say anything it could be just a nervous flyer but it could be a terrorist but we only know that when we combine this information with other sources of information that come to play it's. 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 prissy is one of the litmus tests for democracy and mass surveillance erodes it enormously treats and one of the suspects and completely contradicts the main tenets of democratic which is that of all news and it's the.

continuing surveillance of mass surveillance video communications one of the many ways that seem to just be creeping forward completely goes against that. apart from the civil rights issues many question the efficacy of an on board system if the 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 that. london. female prisoners in the us in jail for killing abusive husbands could see their chances of liberty snatched away many of them have been granted parole have had the 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 khun pm 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 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 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 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 and they are represented by law students like andy martin i'm representing maris or 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's fortune egger 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. i. remember we. were promised 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 international atomic energy agency has said that iran has started the next step towards 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 experts fear can be turned into weapons grade material if in a rich two about ninety five percent the arraign can be used to build an atomic bomb iran insists its nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes are to listen to both sides of the argument. here on our knowledge back that it needs twenty percent enriched uranium for its radioactive medicine for four cancerous patients and for agriculture 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.

that twenty percent enriched uranium so iran and its that the i.a.e.a. that i there you provide us with the twenty percent enriched uranium or else we have no all that alternative but to enrich uranium into our own 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 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 this sanctions on actually hitting the iranian people rather than the iranian government although many people in the verse i mean united states talk about intelligence sanctions but there is no such a thing as as intelligent 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 optimistic 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 that look like iran might be 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. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe two people are

still missing after the collapse of a building in the argentinean capital buenos aires that left one person dead rescue workers have pulled at least eight people to safety the city's mayor blamed negligence whether you're by construction site for the accident in the past fifteen months at least six buildings have come down in the capital. u.n. secretary general ban ki moon has met with the organization's inquiry panel into israel's raid on a gaza bound aid flotilla in a during the meeting they laid out the commission's task highlighting that it wasn't set up to find individuals responsible but to access the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident israel was widely condemned for the raid with turkey demanding an international investigation into the incident report is expected by september. two people have been killed one injured after suspected kurdish militants blew up an oil pipeline in southeast turkey authorities believe the outlawed kurdistan workers party is behind the attack in july

a blast on the same pipeline cut the flow of oil for several days clashes between the kurds and turks again in one thousand nine hundred four over the independence of the kurdish homeland militants called off a fourteen from all fourteen month long ceasefire in june. former us president george w. bush is visiting the haitian capital port au prince he's there visiting organization supported by the bush clinton haiti fund the charity was set up to raise funds after january's devastating earthquake one enterprise getting back in is a mango export plant a business now seen as a vital to reviving the country's economy. following months of political turmoil kyrgyzstan's interim government has set a date for the parliamentary election about what happened on october tenth in april a popular uprising ousted the country's president kurmanbek bakiyev referendum in support of the constitution change that would make kyrgyzstan a parliamentary democracy and significantly reduce presidential power. coming up i . met with the man who used to head the country's security council under ousted

president but now he's the leader of kyrgyzstan political party quickly gaining momentum in the country south just ahead he shares his views on prospects for the future of the central asian state. i still have a lot of thank you so much for finding the time to talk to us the last few months

in kurdistan have been very tense and there's been a lot of violence why does this happen because if the people were unhappy with president bakiev it would appear that it would be logical for the tensions to die down after he was ousted love is hopeless levels of riches well the question is solid jerram of the present government is right and whether their actions comply with the constitutional norms that it was said initially that the constitutional framework should not be while later according to our constitution no one has the right to disperse the parliament and the constitutional court it appears that older mass resulted from these first steps taken by the interim government to lecture it is rather plaster it's obvious that the caregivers people were the so-called electorate have divided into two groups having opposite opinions because there is a small portion of the caregivers people who support the government and an absolute majority of those who don't recognise the present authorities either legally or

socially as the leader of the united could get stoned party and have traveled across more than sixty percent of our republic being special attention to the us to loll about and back in regions people there deny this government completely and i deny the suit a referendum they've carried out completely all the more so because of the staggering figure of nine you want to percent of those who are allegedly supported the government which sounds like a joke like a grim joke nowadays what do you think that the people of kurdistan are politically mature to make a healthy political choice of the belittle with as i have said before if people have a chance to make a choice they're ready to do so assure whether a tomorrow or enjoys popularity or not in. in fact we have heard nothing neither social nor economic nor foreign policy nor priority areas of the country's development therefore it's a non entity the present interim government does not comply with the constitution

and the queue to get legislation there live by their own laws and that's how they tell the kid gives people that one can live outside the law and outside the legal framework i think it's a very bad example. as the temporary government have a foreign policy but it's a political the should use foreign policy must be said self primarily on relations with such foreign partners and highly respected international organizations as the shanghai cooperation organization the collective security treaty organization and the c.i.s. there should be at least some coordination regarding political issues in these terms the kid gives government is not pursuing a new policy i can see a new foreign policy no sign of it there is only one area of their relations with the european union the aspects of working with the us are also gaining momentum several state department officials have been here for over a month i would say that of them by about and the whole of the interim government

are good students of those coming to kyrgyzstan their science certain tasks for certain period of time and then come back to check and assess what has been done i would say the political short sightedness of the temporary government will on effect gets done as a sovereign state as a member of the as c.e.o. and do c.s. cio according to some polls over fifty percent of the people believe that corruption is one of the country's biggest problems what do you think could be done to battle it to eradicate it lovely image of political will our future leader will need very strong political will he cannot be corrupt no one should be influencing his decisions neither is wife nor his children nor his brothers no relatives nor lovers corruption and our state can be eradicated within three or four months corruption is not something regular people engage and hardly heaters have to have a strong backbone he has to give up all earthly pleasures to serve their country we

need an ascetic man to be put in charge of a very harsh man perhaps he would look just what could be done to reconcile the country's progress and respect. operations what could be done to prevent the bloodshed from happening again a problem when you see people killed give stories back are not the problem here the political how glares are the problem i would call those people political profiteers i think the problem would be solved once the government tried to stop and approves a solid document on ethnic policy and starts promoting it without looking back and those who might not like it this document will have to be very clear and appeal to every ethnic group and could get stance that would solve the problems lisa could see. thank you so much.

imax guys are welcome to the kaiser report markets finance and scandals and robot trainers terrorizing 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 that this unhappy robber gunman 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 and america's society is an underling is a 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 got seven hundred billion the first time we want a trillion or two trillion i think that's a good point the wall street bankers.
