spread greater acts of 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 are saying that 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 diseases have suffered the most meanwhile the weather forecasts are not very optimistic even though where they 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 but they didn't help to fight the fires

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 this guy's face the four close up shop work. for the new. guys we need stand 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 on his forced saving mission. really dear i should use my lot of that i would prefer and

have been hammered out and iran's a first nuclear power plant in bush era will indeed launch on august twenty first of course it's been a long wait getting there at the plant a bridge in italy the construction of the plant originally began in the one nine hundred seventy s. they were poured by a german construction group of course after the iranian revolution construction was halted and was later picked up by the russian state nuclear agency to stop them in the up to the ninety's of original launch date was originally set for two thousand and seven but that iran had some financial difficulties failing to pay some parts of the bill that assad presented it with so the date had to be moved but as a party to officials here at the south the this is the final launch date of august the twenty fourth iran's first nuclear power plant will begin producing peaceful nuclear energy because of the battle to wisconsin iran is now facing some really tough international sanctions so how does the nuclear fission with the framework

all those restrictions. alice according to the officials that we've spoken to at the russian state nuclear agency are sought them they say that the sanctions currently enforced against iran by the united nations security council are a do not actually the effect of the bush era power plant project they did that the bush era power play. it's not included in those sanctions of course moscow backed the last bout of sanctions against the islamic republic of iran and that has dampened relations somewhat between moscow and tehran but the russian the nuclear state see nuclear agency says that it is working very closely with the iranian side it is working very closely with the international nuclear watchdog the international atomic energy agency to make sure that every step of the way of the process at every step of the functioning of this power plant is strictly controlled

and the uranium used in this para plant is used strictly to produce peaceful nuclear energy of course the russian state atomic agency will remove the depleted uranium from iran and carry it back to russia disposing of it themselves bringing it over themselves so they say that every step of the way is controlled very strictly not only by russia but by the i.a.e.a. as well. you cannot in you know use nuclear power plant in your head that they told me that they were. you give all land is just it to you right that you could use it. is true that there are a million. people that this double double service these are issued pounds been through a man but with this an immense beginner. or in your responsibility because we are going to supply it with nuclear fuel sure nuclear bombs for all the

a massive brawl that took place at a military academy just outside moscow it was a brutal brawl that lasted for about a half an hour some twenty or so students who were training to do their mandatory year in the russian army just going out if you can see this brutal video which was posted on you tube and of course why officials are so outraged. that he said what are the consequences for their use in bold in the. book two of the commanders from the military academy in fact are being forced to resign for not being able to stop or prevent a fight like this three draftees like i said were preparing for their first year since this happened before these these men were going to be soldiers even got into the army of course maybe part of the reason why officials and top ari's are not very happy about this but they are going to these three draftees go to court with facts face trial for being the ones to instigate this fight they were known to be

the most violent during a fight and so we don't know what's going to happen to them but it's very clear that an intense investigation has been launched. the prosecution do we know. what they do have this video but it's clear to say that this investigation probably would have taken the place whether or not this video was posted on you tube as we know russia. been launching tremendous army reforms over the past couple of years it was one of the first decrees in fact that president medvedev made when he stepped into all facing is something he's been pushing very strongly for over the past couple of years i'd also like to just point out that these were forms are taking place we have living proof here in our to our sound engineer who in fact is doing this work with us right now just came out of his mandatory year he says it was more than adequate they were said well they slept well but he didn't see any kind of fights like this we in fact went as far to say that he enjoyed his first
