and nine children for sixteen years until the last moment they refused to pack up and left with nothing more than the clothes on their back assigned to their house was the only thing they brought with them. by of years ago most israeli supported the withdraw but today more than half think it was a mistake so out as well there are some dozen communities like this where gaza refugees despite the promises made to them are still living in temporary housing. and now in settlements across the west bank people are afraid the same fate awaits them sure goldstein has been mayor of the settlement block for eleven years he's furious with israeli premier benjamin netanyahu who in his latest bid for peace allegedly offered the palestinians ninety percent of the west bank if they agree to direct talks palestinian president mahmoud abbas is under pressure to give an answer in the coming days if the government of all of this decide to go out of the

forming of quitting suicide there with. if we're going to give the. drive for a. vehicle drive it for ten minutes. who can defend it these really government spent more than two billion dollars evacuating eight thousand cities from gaza it would need to remove many fifty times that number from the west bank a financial and logistical nightmare a more thorough assessment of the principle of thing until we truly everything save numbers will be for. the for in three maybe we could reach an agreement. for many of those three and the palestinian sovereignty today more than ever israeli settlers in the west bank have the sympathy of the israeli public the last thing they want is a repeat of these pictures what the public says no more no you. we're not
9:09 am
going to do it like this. we're not going to disengage we're not willing to do any concessions it's time of the arabs it's time of the palestinians to do their part in the game and while the israeli government contemplates another withdrawal the awful of rand still waiting to be reimbursed for her home she was promised a new life but he's still living in a caravan five years later policy r.t. . southern israel. well the situation in gaza after the pullout in two thousand and five has seen no improvement and in fact israel is still in control of gaza as dr. a political analyst from gaza. what we have in gaza yet is still an israeli occupation. in two thousand and five that was an end of the occupation for me as a political analyst i believe that was very very deployment for the israeli army.
9:10 am
it has increased even more than before and this specially for the past three years especially after the election of hamas. form with the hamas government and palestinian territories in the. i know it's bank and what we have witnessed the siege which has imposed against the gaza strip and this will afflicted the life of every citizen in the gaza strip so the tension has increased even more than before how mass has increased its more here but will it lead to launch. some home or homemade rockets into the israeli side and at the same time days or even a government one. government to be existing in the gaza or the west bank so the tension has increased especially for the bus of three years and we have witnessed the war in the gaza strip at the end of two thousand and eight so we believe that life has become bitter things have even bad consequences of
9:11 am
for the long term because in illegal tim for some people seeing gaza it becomes independent and we palestinians would have the responsibility of the gaza strip for others and foremost political analyst they believe here their israeli side would have the full responsibility and the gaza strip still under the israeli occupation up to now. live from moscow you're with our team much more coming your way including making their voices heard immigrant in finland apartment of their own will break down barriers and the threat of race is on the roster but some don't think it will work. strong winds and heavy rains are taking the place of the record heat which has been baking central russia since the middle of june on sunday a hurricane hit north western regions of the country operating trees and causing
9:12 am
streets to flood the storm swept through residential areas overturning cars damaging railways and electricity wires forecasters say the hurricane level winds will hit moscow within the next few days there is little respect from the extreme weather which is already in danger of lives and well so this year ambulance crews have been in a tough battle to get to people with a number of emergency calls record levels. between china and iran haven't left their partner for days the husband and wife struggle with the daily heat wave blasting their home but it's better than even thinking about going outside. what killing you are. right i haven't been out in the streets for days the heat is so difficult for us it's hard to breathe and your hearts can give you trouble with no air conditioning and only one hundred eighty u.s. dollars per month pension even than his wife can only rely on their daughter she hangs what drapes in doorways and covers appearance with dentists and into temp to
9:13 am
ward off the heat and the trouble it brings. nice and cool. this couple is pulling through thanks to their daughter but many others are not moscow's prolonged heat wave has endangered thousands of lives but the brunt of it falls on the elderly emergency services are getting twice as many colds daily as they would in any other month with the result being that not every patient gets help in time there are no official statistics on how many people have died in the past two months but many still find a way to speak out. the hospital death toll or the past twenty four hours has reached seventeen it was sixteen the day before yesterday this morning there were sixty five corpses in the hospital morgue our own patients plus the bodies of people who died of nation causes in nearby flats the corpses are stopped in the basement upright all the refrigerator center full ambulances are bringing all
9:14 am
people in huge numbers all of them are suffering from heat stroke and medics are working round the clock trying to get every patient on time even private healthcare has seen an increase in calls. we get a lot of calls and some not from regular clients would we handle it all we will still have to and will stocked the ambulance sirens screaming but without the weather on their side even the medical men may find themselves fighting a battle they can't win. gas or r.t. . immigrants living in finland could soon be represented by their own parliament the country is trying to deal with the relatively new phenomenon of large scale immigration before any potential problems through. all the right. has become a success. to go on to study. to

continue his education. here and i came direct i was. very busy so. didn't have a lot of stress by a lot of sports. i tried my written off life this speaking six languages it's not been difficult for me to integrate here as a two year old daughter and a home. but not every immigrant in successful. a local newspaper and claims newcomers are often denied jobs simply because they don't have a finnish name born abroad to a finnish mother she joined up with other immigrants to propose a parliament to fight for the rights of the newcomers. finishes cited systematically not ready to understand that it's changing and even though currently
9:16 am
the amount of immigrants is only about three percent of the population if measures are not taken out the problems are only going to grow more and organizers say the immigrant parliament will be an independent nonpolitical organization but not many friends including this member of parliament from the finnish fork party support the project i don't think it's a good idea for immigration groups integrate people who can't read or write are coming in to fail on down they are not predictable many immigrants are refugees from troubled regions like somalia and iraq and some of them don't speak finnish that means they can't find a job so they live on state handouts it's provoked a backlash from right wing nationalist in the country authorities support the immigrant parliament saying it may help stop the rise of racial hatred we would like to do the policy so that we can also hear the voice of amy so i think that
9:17 am
this is a good idea because they say gives voice. to migrants and they can act as a kind of a device or vote that voting is planned for next year in parallel with the finnish problem in three elections every registered immigrant who is over eighteen and has moved in finland for at least two years will be able to take part every person sure we have the right for a decent life and to travel but having this right doesn't mean abusing it living by the means of others' feelings may be new to the immigration issue but it's long become a part of the reality for many other european state and now the time has come. for this country to find its solution before these emerging problems turn into a nationwide crisis. or to help. the commander of u.s. and nato forces in afghanistan says he is not bound by the july twentieth levon date set for a troop pullout general david petraeus said he could well advised president obama
9:18 am
not to go ahead and he believes it's the wrong time american public support for the war is that an all time low with july being the deadliest month for u.s. and nato troops since two thousand and one party's military analyst says one way to succeed against the taliban is to accept terrorism and the drug trade are two sides of the same coin. i have to do a trained special investigative unit and major crimes task force apprehended afghan national security advisor the president accused americans of behaving like russians eluding to the soviet military campaign thirty years ago well comrade cars i could get more than he had bargained for it is a bit to irony that in soviet times in afghanistan it could be just in comprehensible even to imagine that the soviet backed leader would be involved less
9:19 am
to fall protecting them are rampant corruption and drug trafficking and drug production all across the country so that in a way could be a measure of success or the lack of it for the american leaders you know afghanistan while the general petraeus has already initiated an official rate evaluation of u.s. policy in afghanistan which has already drifted from the classical counting insurgency to counter terrorism and to count on our cottage it is only one missing element that would provide the new measure of success to regain the momentum that is to admit and openly declare that the terrorism and drug trafficking are just two parts of the same challenge and it should be properly attributed and cold as narco terrorism. the vietnam war is regarded by many american and many rather as america's bloodiest defeat in history so what did almost six thousand u.s.
9:20 am
servicemen really die for find out what vietnam veterans really think about the war thirty five years on the northeast special report coming up in about ten minutes. because i thought that it was my duty to write to help my country. my government. necessary. man it was a lot of. it was a lot of murder of american officers. there were a lot of. the war i always thought i wanted to leave a lot of metal to have a lot of desperation. but afterwards i realize that they don't mean anything. that important. i don't i never get the medal.

sold twenty percent. among the countries most affected by russia's grain export ban will be egypt turkey pakistan and syria russia exported over ten million tons of grain to these countries in two thousand and nine and that accounts always hold off with their overall imports but first have to crimea as you call says foreign buyers understand why russia's impose the bag. now tell us more about what's happening on the global a grain markets i'm joined by i always thought hansen commodities alison succubi in copenhagen now thank you very much for joining us the russian grain export ban came into effect on sunday how was the market responded the market reaction has been fairly limited to just today we're actually trading on change currently both in chicago and in paris where we seeing the milling wheat. the to offset the band we are actually seeing weather forecast now which is projecting rain later in the week
9:25 am
in the affected areas so that may have an impact already so do you think that the current cost of weight is justified given the large reserves in some countries. it's it's it's hard to justify but obviously we had a we've come from a situation where we as has been trading at relatively low prices for a while and the market has probably the hedge funds and so on has been selling into it because they didn't see any prospects for higher prices so there's been a lot of scramble to cover short positions over the last month and but the global stocks are still still pretty high the stock to use is only dropping from twenty eight percent to twenty five percent this year so there's still enough to go around the main issue is obviously to get the surplus in the us into the different areas where they where they need them. let's move more to the long term now do you think the russian export by will have any longer term consequences or russia's position in the global grey markets. no i think the world needs russia's surplus production
9:26 am
and this was a force majeure event no one could have no one could have predict what's going to happen so so even obviously as you mentioned some of these affected countries will have to look elsewhere i think long term it's not going to have a major impact now the current export ban runs into december when they should be clear what the winter wheat crop will be like how important is the winter harvest well the affected areas think that something like eighty percent of the total annual production that comes from winter wheat so it's obviously incredibly important with the rain that's forecast and there is hope obviously the worst is behind us and that they have announced that they will be. there will be a revision of the band early october so if we have if the weather behaves from now on we could potentially see the band get lifted before december. and what is the inflationary impact of the high of grain prices. it's difficult to measure i think
9:27 am
it's probably going to have a bit of a long term it's going to take a while before we can see the actual effects the main thing is that we don't see the price rises spread to other stable something like rice it's it's a stable part of stable a diet for nearly two billion people on the globe so that is obviously incredibly important which will prices spike dramatically in two thousand and eight and we want to see that situation we want to avoid that situation happening once again. and also it probably will have a main impact on the emerging economies because the cost of food is such a high part of my part of their total cost so that's where it's probably worth keeping an eye on. ali still hansen from saxo bank thank you very much for your analysis this hour. now another market news the agricultural bank of china has raised a record twenty two point one billion dollars for its initial public offering the country's number three lender braved falling stock markets in shanghai hong kong to become china's last major financial it's a list investors have been cheated by double digit growth in the chinese economy
