small biz expects wildflowers in a heatwave continue their grip on central russia. nationwide memorials mark a decade since the course submarine tragedy the families of the one hundred eighteen victims singly still struggle with that. fashion face off with a political twist german activist set up a closed ground to expose a bible seen as a correction of me and not susan. but out there around the clock news for you hey on our table come to the program moscow is bracing itself for another uncomfortable cloud of smaug experts warn that a new wave of noxious smoke is likely to go for the city off a burst of rain gave the capital a couple of days where spite of wildfires continue to burn in the capital and the

relentless heat shows no sign of abating topping off a covert reports from the outskirts of moscow. the blazes are slowly crawling into the russian capital in this park just on outskirts of moscow several fires have covered and there are two hundred where meters that have been stopped by now but the smell is still in the air for the past two days however most avoid had a chance to breathe fresh air well as fresh as it can be in the capital of course as the rain fell on the city however experts predict the smog to be back late thursday thursday or friday. as the wind changes they do say however that it will be much less intense doctors are saying that because of this smaug people's immune systems have gone down so that we will see significant increase in the cold in flu cases over the upcoming also mosco thirty's are saying that the death rate in the city have doubled during this period over fifty people have died in the flames

russian authorities are doing everything they can of course to decrease the number of fires. fears however spread among russians many are afraid for their lives how many are simply in unstable emotional states however there are also those who are not giving up and volunteering to help firemen to tackle the blazes and one of the regions that was affected the most by the far is is the region around the city of resign from where my colleague any sonali now reports. for some of the destruction is already being swept away. for others it's sweeping towards them this is how it all starts with a small flame that can quickly engulf the entire forest making this a very fierce battle for emergencies workers and volunteers it has been sergei's job to protect this forest for years but this summer has become his worst nightmare

. the most dangerous is one of the treetops are burning. and the flames move at an incredibly fast pace thousands of volunteers have joined in to help fight the flames widen fire breaks between damage to non han trees and damp in the smoking earth. it has to be said the work we have been doing here helps the effort tremendously the battle has been going on for weeks with over fifty dead hundreds injured and thousands homeless while the struggle to contain the flames below continues hundreds of tons of water are dropped by the emergency services a day by helicopters and specially adapted aircraft. but sergei who will be here once the flames are finally put out is scared there might not be much left to protect. and some time to syria will be just complete

heaps of trees. and he's now a r t central russia. where the spy the fact moscow is had a drop of fresh air after a burst of rain effects of the poisonous smog hasn't been washed away completely later we talked to a meteorologist who explains why the consequences are so dire. doctors are saying bending one hour out on the street breathing the small is equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes. all those poisonous lead emissions were of such a scale that air pollution was at times eight times higher than acceptable. even with the small gone we must give up its many others have lost our lungs as the trees around us that used to purify the air monolog burned down. but the worst part of it all is that a lot of those of hard carbon monoxide emissions and are stuck and we're in a severe problem when they mix with steam in the atmosphere they create carbonic

acid which then turns into an acid or a net because of that temperature abnormalities you can continue for several years . and you can see the full interview with meteorologist demers of all exchange golf next hour here on out. the prolong the dry spell is making russian wheat much harder to come by the season the harvest is expected to reach around sixty five billion tons which is just enough to meet domestic demand the government is now halting grain exports the next few months it could be a target for the resume russia is the world's third largest wheat exporter and the announcement that supplies are being cut forced prices to rise but the un's food and agriculture organization says the russian government's moves are understandable . i sincerely hope that it is still not a case where we will have a grain shortage but there is certainly a very severe situation in terms of supply and the drought has been extremely severe and the production shortfalls are far more far more dissipated as early as

three weeks ago therefore it is understandable that the restrictions of. on exports is the one way to comp our domestic food inflation especially the price of bread wheat mostly is useful and i think this is what the government at the end decided to do i'm not sure that there were many other options perhaps they could have also considered taxing exports or perhaps do a good deal in knowing gradual terms but you know in situations like this as the year is the you know governments tend to go for the most secure of the measures which is the total ban there had been a very extraordinary action to the ban in russia and the prices. rose very sharply but you're glad that they have calmed down a little bit the market is actually taking into consideration of inventors that are available in other countries in particular in north america so that even invent results and we believe globally this year's global supply and demand for

wheat although a bit tighter than we had anticipated it still is very much manageable and we can even. take care of the disastrous emergencies currently under currently in pakistan so the inventors are not i mean russia is drawing down on inventor is it will be some more here and but in general terms we are in much better situation than for example in two thousand and seven and eighty should be chief you'll recall we had a global food crisis and i think that the russian solution given the situation not just with the grains but also be defiant and all the uncertainties surrounding it really left the government of doubt much other choice and it is understandable. moral services are being held on thursday at all of russia's naval bases to mark a decade since the coup tragedy the nuclear submarine sank killing on board most of the crew and the thirty. six pack. the

course submarine russia's biggest post soviet naval tragedy to date on august twelfth two thousand the nuclear submarine sank in the barents sea. international rescue efforts failed to save anyone on board one hundred eighteen sailors died trapped in a watery grave waiting in vain for help. it's been ten years but it feels like yesterday when i think of the pain he felt it's me i would do anything give my life to take away his speed anything for my boy. he just twenty four year old son andy was a lieutenant on the sub she and her younger sons and grandsons visit under his grave all the time his memory is something they're not prepared to ever let go. i'm a teacher not a military expert so i don't know whether the tragedy could be avoided but i do

know it would be should have been see our boys be happy to see better. according to some experts if rescue operations had begun immediately instead of some days later lives could have been saved official investigation results show that the explosion that tore apart the door pito section of the sub took place here afterwards oxygen levels in the remaining sectors or survivors huddled dropped dramatically by august fourteenth navy official state of the chances of getting the sailors out allies were minimal week later when divers entered the sob one hundred eighteen people are dead there have been many different versions of what happened to the sub some people believe it may have collided with an american submarine that was in the same waters others that it could have struck a mine left over from the world war two days but regardless of the theories floating about the human tragedy of course. cannot be denied were ever forgotten.

the ideology of the third reich founded just eight years ago its line has already become very good for german air nazis. but last year the youth wing of the left leaning social democratic party decided to strike out against nazi chic we wanted to do something about this. methods they used to attract the younger people with it with passion with contemporary music outdoor activities because it's not like the old fashioned neo nazi everybody news with a new uniform and a baseball bat or the new label star khiam or an obvious spot on their original prominently features a power hungry stall obsessed with nordic mythology and its plan to rule the world of fashion top style or fail to see the funny side and sued for damages brand choosing to file the lawsuit at the court in nuremberg the judge has rejected the
