for a run back to power station the sheriff saying the latest u.n. sanctions won't affect the joint projects. to come on there's going to be given them a little amount so for the last military academy in the months to be. a very warm welcome this is all live from moscow with me alice have it now the area and gulf by wildfires in russia has been reduced by a fifth over the long stay the record breaking heat that's been aggravation the fall is in the region is now we saying but full call to say hurricanes could strike this weekend as only sees a time and not report. 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 washy 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 some two hundred kilometers away from moscow and this is the area that one of there is that have suffered the most from the far is now behind me you can probably see the completely burned down forests here right now russian military is helping farming to tackle the blazes are very important task of the russian government right now is to protect the countries such as military bases the nuclear plants and all foreigners in those regions contaminated by the nine hundred eighty six the chernobyl nuclear disaster have been extinguished by now as they have been concerns that they could spread. particles further and russian authorities right now are saying that the radioactive level in those regions is

normal meanwhile in regions like this one that 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 they're 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 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 but 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 lowering temperatures which might bring heavy rains and storms in the city. to tell another

cover reporting from the mosque a region there now volunteers have joined a hundred sixty thousand firefighters to help out the wildfires the situation remains critical in some regions artie's examine the choice of all went to see what ordinary residents in the mosque a regional doing to take the flames and do you want some water. meet alexander drive in senior management now to figure out if there's open fire or seeing it about would prefer if i find to buy 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 and the whole city is choking with the 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 mari did fire to speak take your forest into

wasteland alexandria his friends spread the word by the interior 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 fires everywhere and you can easily get hurt but. almost every day a team of twenty from different backgrounds meets at the square the group is almost ready but just found out the fire speak don't go meters away and this is where we're going and half an hour later the real job begins for volunteers the forest becomes a war zone are going but the. fire got close to the solid line or it could move over it and into the forest at any minute our task is to hold back the fire covered with sand so it won't get into the village the team may be small but they punching above their weight or three. today the four is not so bad but yesterday

volunteers brutal. worst out using anything to hand. disguise here and helical are sort of good thing they're dropping water but here on the ground. for close up work for the for the new guys we need and here. over there the fire is moving up the tree we need to try to stop it. it's hard tough work a real challenge luna refuses to go under kishen and for those who has been no use forests even mission that's my feeling here i should use my lot of that i would prefer and call my husband hicks think wishes it were the shovel or crops water when we're moving from place to place and helping with the carrying. the teams to use in the forest until dawn but while most of them are arrested who alexander will

look his regular shift at the violin cinema and the food morning he will get the evil in tears who will again to lance went to see the forest. axe on the you could charge r t russia says it will launch a rounds of first nuclear power plant next week the russian nuclear state corporation which is building the plant announced the reactor will be loaded with nuclear fuel on the twenty first. of a report. all signs seems to point to the fact that yes all issues have been settled all the details have been hammered out and iran's a first nuclear power plant and bush air will indeed launch on august twenty first of course it's been a long way getting there the plant the bridge in the way the construction of the plant originally began in the one nine hundred seventy s. they were paid for it by a german construction crew that a person after the iranian revolution construction was halted that was later picked up by the russian state nuclear agency to stop them in the uk there was

a ninety days 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 bought as a party to officials here at the us of the this is the final launch date of august the twenty fourth iran says first nuclear power plant will begin producing peaceful nuclear energy according to the officials that we've spoken to at the russian state nuclear agency it us off them they say that the sanctions currently enforced against iran by the united nations security council do not actually the effect the pushchair power plant project they did that the bush era power that is not included in those sanctions of course moscow backed the last bout of sanctions against the islamic republic of iran and that that has dampened relations somewhat between moscow and tehran but the russian the nuclear state to see if the 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 every step of the functioning of this power plant is strictly controlled not only by russia but by the i.a.e.a. as well you cannot and you throw these nuclear power plants in your head that they support military. you get bogged down just to do right the degrees c. . is true there are two areas. we call the double double purpose it is richelieu sounds been through a man but both this is their memory so we give our souls were in your responsibility because we are going to supply with nuclear fuel should you put a ball once all the life time them go to get spent fuel back perverseness of the

russian area so a lot of controls in force but still the media is i is definitely going to be on iran come august twenty first. but for more on a round of the news we see one but that's what we call for this quote from this film needs to say well because of the international relations joining us now that the report says we are going to run a shot several drawings at me of the sham wow a bomb to think that there is a threat and that is he could become a target all over his radio u.s. air attack. well i don't i don't think so i think that the child so far any attack from ma u.s. so all. these are really forces says a very me are i think the basically this so this is a video video that is small chance often it's a console i don't think that. the launch of the sound of

a public policy station is a big deal for israel all for united states because if these are complying with the international atomic agency the rules and the launch of the blog has been dispensed several times now so why is it being the oldest right now is that what you see specific about the timing of all this. while i don't think that ball so there is some something specific about the timing of the launching of the plan then they are befalls us but i suppose that. if we will remember the history all thought constructing the bush out of nuclear power project in the run of the cross the deal between russia and iran was signed in down the focus the lines in ninety two and i think that brush up probably is trying to be in time for the completing all the project because as you write this out this project has been postponed several times so i think that this is just the reason both russia helping supply and around with

air defense systems though that was a contract see some good relations and cooperation in general between moscow and surround today to say. you know it's a very good question because. in this recent boss the railway out some emotional state months on behalf of the iranian leader president ahmadinejad the ball so they stayed there for you know any and russian relations but i think that the nucleic embarrassed. industry is not the fact that by the statements on the i think that the trade relations between the russian federation and the iranian islamic republic of iran still do that and these sub project is showing off that. they are actually going to have the aisle with their own way on the project will be completed ready so both iran will now have an operational nuclear plant so will it mean that around will call on the nuclear program that's causing this global

controversy. while i think that the. controversial nuclear program or for islamic republic of iran is quite the big issue for the wall community because it's not only the peaceful uses of atomic energy like for example constructing a bush out atomic power project but this is the possible minutes that are used on behalf of iran in its nuclear program so i think the. actually if i'm wrong it will be successful in the sweating big international community that doesn't have any intentions to use the nuclear power one militarily so i think about in this case the international community cannot really take call for any question say against iran and its the nuclear program what do you think needs to be done to resolve the remaining save iran's nuclear program. like i was

so yeah i've just got it wrong to object to the persuade the international community that it is in the fully compliance in full compliance with the international atomic energy agency of rules on with an international community of rules and that should persuade the united nations all the counters all the walls but it doesn't have any intention to build any atomic weapons in iran so i think that the rom should cross the fall going to be instead it doesn't have any military from dungeons and secondly to be in compliance with the united states of resolutions. on this from the of world economy to its national relations many things. on the way most would say playing the stock market down will put notice and. find out how they say you can make

ones to instigate this fight they were known to be the most violent during the fight and so we don't know what's going to happen to ben this investigation probably would have taken the place whether or not this video was posted on you tube as we know russia has 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 also this and it's something he's been pushing very strongly for. and it's now with our reporting from moscow for us well we're also online for you twenty four hours a day of course kong with plenty more stories say here's a quick look at what's on live you at the moment find out how com osas made one billion dollars by extracting money from owners of luxury cars. and here is a new business for georgia as it aims to become a serious player in the crowd and for me my kid exposing this project is
