rounds of russian built nuclear energy long bill are all next week but in russia the tomic agency says it will tighten control. you are very strong. and there's no hope and promise fading from the army for these guys the german army wakes up to the problems of post-traumatic stress within its ranks as soldiers say their role in this is being overlooked once the facts on the front line. a very warm welcome to you this is our life in the russian capital with me alice habit moscow is once again slowly being in gulf by suffocating small after just a few days reprieve say they're having some success in tackling the forest blazes

that have been blowing dense but who cross the region and beyond however the situation in some regions in central russia remains serious. the warmth of the air pollution could again worsen as the record heat wave clings to the capital the challenge is on the outskirts of moscow for all to see. the burning area has shrunk by thousands of hectares throughout the country in the past twenty four hours and states of emergencies have been lifted in several regions in russia however the overall situation is of course still devastating as many villages have been burnt down completely and thousands of people have been left without homes over fifty people have been killed in the blazes wide now we are from two hundred kilometers away from moscow and this is the area that one of the areas that have suffered the most from the fire is right now behind me you can probably see the completely burned down or is here right now. helping farman to tackle the blazes are very

important task of the russian government right now is to protect the country's strategic objects such as military bases and nuclear plants and all fires in those regions contaminated by the nine hundred eighty six chernobyl nuclear disaster have been extinguished by now as they have been concerns that they could spread radio active particles further and russian authorities right now are saying that the radio active level in those regions is normal meanwhile in regions like this one they're still burning the small is still very very thick it's very difficult to breathe here and doctors a saying that's standing here in this forest for just one hour is equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes but also saying that immune systems of many people have gone down during this period of fires of course those with lung diseases and heart disease have suffered the most meanwhile the weather forecasts are not very optimistic even though we saw heavy rainfall early morning on friday it seemed that

for the shower it was very isolated and just as we left the capital on our way here the showers have stopped they did clear the air in moscow however they didn't help to fight the fires outside the city experts are saying that this heat that will last for the next couple of days will then be slowly replaced with a lowering temperatures which might bring heavy rains and storms in the city. as having another cover there was a firefighter struggle to cope with the places that have now destroyed tens of thousands of hectares across central russia hundreds of volunteers are joining in to help exonerate lee had a choice followed one of the groups on duty. meet alexander in a drive in cinema manager by night. to get it there's open fire over there to see that about a firefighter by day one of the many russian volunteers who are trying to save

forests villages and people. in the morning i have two toddlers when you wake up the whole city is choking with smog the kids a coughing and you really want to get rid of the smog but how we understand that we ourselves have to do something one day did fire to a spectacular forest into wasteland alexander and his friends spread the word valentijn and people do. we take food so that people won't be hungry we've got food rations from the emergencies ministry it tastes good volunteers usually have no gloves they are needed as the fire is everywhere and you can easily get hurt. almost every day team of twenty from different backgrounds meets at this square the group is almost ready we're just found out the fire speed didn't go all meters away and this is where we're going and half an hour later the real job begins the volunteers the forest becomes

a war zone i'm going but the. fire got close to the solid line it can move over it and into the forest at any minute i turn is to hold back the fire covered with sand so it won't get into the village the team may be small but they're punching above their weight or three. today the four is not so bad but yesterday volunteers braved the worst they put out using anything to hand. out this guys here helicopters are a good thing they're dropping water but here on the ground there's guys face to for close up shop work. for you guys we need to end here over there the fire is moving up the tree we need to try to stop but the ignorance of the volunteers is infectious.

it's hard tough work a real challenge lehner refuses to go on vacation and follows her husband and his forest saving mission you know some of you with your eyes just a lot of help for fire and cold my husband hicks think wishes that with a shovel or drops water when we're moving from place to place and helping with the caring. the team stays in the forest until dawn but while most of them rest at home alexander will work his regular shoot at the drive in cinema and the following morning he will gather more volunteers who will again toil and sweat to save the forest. arche. russia says they will launch a rounds of first nuclear power plant next week the russian nuclear agency which is building the facility in boucher announced that engineers will start loading the react to with fuel olga's the twenty first under strict control well let's get moving on this and now from aussies got that in the us of a i guess to the north

has been delayed several times down so how all the details to be put agrees. alice it does appear so with the announcement by the russian nuclear agency that the launch of the pushchair nuclear power plant iran's first nuclear power plant will be on august the twenty first of this year this of course problems after a number of delays in the launch day it has been moved to a number of times due to various reasons of course the plant itself began the construction of the plant began in the one nine hundred seventy s. it was done by a german company but after the iranian revolution construction was halted and later picked up in the one nine hundred ninety s. by the russian side now the original of the launch date was set for two thousand and seven but after financial difficulties on the iranian side and their inability to pay for the full amount of work that the russian if the agency has performed that lund launch date was pushed back and back up until today when the launch date

of august twenty first has finally been announced on that day according to the russian nuclear agency enriched uranium will be loaded in to the nuclear power plant at which point it will effectively become operative and of course all of these sensors all of these stages are heavily monitored by not only the russian side but also by the international atomic energy agency the i.a.e.a. the iranian that will actually go into the plant itself is currently being stored under the i.a.e.a. watch and once it has been used the depleted. cranium will also be returned to russia also monitored all the way so this is basically everybody involved in the process say that each and every step of iran's nuclear energy is basically aimed at making sure that iran only uses the energy for peaceful means and that every step is. monitored not only by the russian side but also by an international

observer and iran is currently industry un sanctions isn't it so how does this power pole fishing without us. well of course iran is as you said under strict u.n. sanctions the last u.n. sanctions were imposed a few months ago russia actually back in there which has somewhat cold and damp and relations between moscow and tehran but of course russia has always maintained that the bush air power plant does not fall under the sanctions so it is actually exempt from that and of course there are rigorous of the fact that each and every step of the powerplants operation is monitored not only by the russian nuclear agency but by the i.a.e.a. as well this is the russian side hopes will guarantee the fact that iran is only uses the power plant for peaceful nuclear means to him and he found so she's got that he has a lot of reports. still to come on the program we look into the future shareholder

as we meet the psychic stock brokers who think cashing in on the credit crunch spots in the way. germany now where the army is chilling to cannot show with hundreds the suspected cases no fix soldiers suffering from mental health problems this comes as the country's forces attempt to step up their efforts in tackling the growing insurgency in the northern afghan province of . the examines the allegations that even one of the world's most developed countries is failing to the gulf to its former soldiers. these men were once soldiers and dress truman served germany for twenty four years and then up left and colonel in afghanistan he had his fair share of hairy experiences i was fighting against the taliban around about five i was in one minute i had suicide attacks i

germany. very strong war note. and there's no help anymore from the state and from the army for these guys the windows were told us they're trying to find out how many unreported cases there are amongst former soldiers orica schmidt and her team are working to try and discover the molecular basis of such stress in the brain tree also treat soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder trying to slowly face the flashbacks that prevent them living normal lives . but she says the treatment is sometimes frightening tense sitting somebody in front of you in that pretty moment this really experiencing all the horror and exiles and that he experienced during the war and you need a lot of empathy to help people. but you have to you have to try to control the us war becomes otherwise that will overwhelm us and

therapist in germany it's not just tsongas who is stressed with the war criticism of involvement in afghanistan is widespread the polls according to at least seventy percent of germans oppose it and history weighs heavily on the debate really big and so for us it was the second world war two and zero for ninety yes it was. in the majority of traveling people invest in part of germany said never again should we. take as a country while the political debates rage on the battle with traumatic stress is being fought out in labs and psychiatric wards with attention now focused from the army it's hoped they may be able to treat former soldiers who have until now suffered without health blunders worse says some five hundred soldiers have come home from afghanistan with psychological wounds this year alone healing the moral choir a lot of time and patience and a lot of work in labs like this but as far as german's attitude to their country's
