gone with the wind it seems that the recent climate change in moscow has bought an end to the recent forest fires that have been ravaging the nation. all talk and no action the nicaraguan president says washington's promises of trains are flowing flying criticizing the government for what he calls an aggressive policy and constant meddling. punch to stardom as the us and raises new cultural symbols in the face of outrageous reality stars some americans fear it's trashing the country's image abroad.

live from our studios in central moscow this is archie with me nice and now way it's four pm here in the russian capital eight am in new york but first this hour firefighters have succeeded in extinguishing almost all of the blazes in the moscow region one of the one of the areas worst hit by the state of flames this summer well the damage caused to russia's budget by the record breaking heat wave is approaching four hundred million dollars we cannot cross country who joins us at the mosque our region of course seems to be almost done with taming these fires page a picture for us of what's happening in other parts of the country. and he says it seems that the emergencies ministry did report that all most of the country's fires have been played out specifically in the mosque of region as you can see the weather is good. different to what we've gotten used to over the past few weeks

it's actually quite cold people are wearing jumpers sweaters at the recent wind and rain according to the emergencies ministry helped a lot in extinguishing the fires and neutralizing a localizing all the existing fires in the moscow region but the fires in other parts of the country are still ravaging the nation of course people and nature are both very much affected by this emergencies ministry is still putting out all kinds of fires in central russia and the most affected regions like the region overdesigned for example there forest fires are still ravaging the countryside with many people losing homes of course thousands have already lost their homes hundreds of lost lives the government has been paying compensation and has promised to rebuild all of the homes that have been destroyed by the fire but now with the warm weather coming to an end many people are already worrying about whether they'll be

able to actually welcome in the cold and the winter and you home or whether they'll be still facing building construction process as when it comes down to the brush a winter which as everybody knows is no mean feat when you talk a little bit about how many people have been devastated by these fires can you tell us anything about what exactly is being done to help the victims. and he said we know that the of families of all those who lost loved ones in the fires were paid over a million roubles in compensation in order to help them bury their loved ones to compensate for the loss if it was a caregiver of the family like a husband or a father we also know that all of those who have lost homes have been promised to to have those homes rebuilt by the government we know that nearly one hundred million roubles has already been paid out in compensation to all of those who were affected by the forest fire. ravage the country in the central part of the country

for nearly a month we also know that the russian prime minister is monitoring. practically personally monitoring the construction process as in some part of the country web cameras have been set up in order for the government and those responsible to be able to monitor the construction process more closely everybody who has lost a home in the fire has been promised a new one whether it is in the same place or in case of some villages which have been burnt out completely they will be relocated the entire village will be relocated and rebuilt in a different part of the country so a lot has being a lot has been done a lot is being done but of course the situation is nowhere near over despite the fact that the forest fires have lessened and the murder ministry is doing a better job of controlling them the situation is no where near an end run from outranking a fire situation in russia live. thank you for that. the

turkish police could soon be patrolling the streets of germany it's part of a new plan to bring increasingly volatile immigrant communities in the country under control because artie's tom barton has been finding out critics say it's just another example of discrimination. crystal feels like a stranger in her own country daily she enjoys the summer parks and life here in this close when not working as a doctor but she feels totally numb to death. toll happened very silently without anyone noticing much the german population really doing day children were taken out to disclose and suddenly there were only turks here. there are around two million turkish citizens living in germany with many more having adopted german citizenship special worker recruitment agreements from the one nine hundred sixty s. made germany the destination of choice for turkish economic migrants. our immigrant

. was there when you did the work or now we have immigrants in the year we make them all to make. and rate them. but as well as being the largest ethnic minority some believe they're also the worst written into their new society if there was a probably it's a big problem that the turks of the last generation haven't integrated would have developed further away we have fifteen to twenty year olds who have moved further away from german culture than old immigrants this is big effect on their behavior. procol known as a small group and although many germans think multiculturalism isn't working many also think turks should be allowed religious cultural freedom was. great that they are all the way. they behave a little when we went to some of these areas many turks themselves denied there were problems taken out of there trying to live together and i understand there are

some problems but it's not true that turks can't integrate. we all get along there are many turks russians germans and arabs here on t.v. in the media they talk about people shooting each other and fighting but that's not the case here. but not all. you feel this. way. as well as a cultural divide there's also the more serious problem of crime unemployment among young turks in germany is high but the resulting boredom leading to delinquency crystal has seen it all cash. betty theft and violence that's what the young ones do in mice themselves drugs what turns don't drink as we know it but they do fight each other. and they don't just face off with fellow turks and a new plan police from turkey will help their german counterparts patrol troublesome

neighborhoods those behind it don't want segregation but rather a more sympathetic approach to policing turkish communities of them so they of course the german police can handle the situation but there have been lots of recent reports about attacks and violence against police officers who try to enforce law in such problematic regions with a high violence potential so we have to think about what we could do better. but the plan is getting a lot of criticism some saying it's clear evidence the police don't know how to deal with turkish communities and crystal is one of those who thinks it's discrimination against turks. i don't like this plan the russian polish minorities don't have police it's not fair for the turkish to have them you have to police other people won't respond german police. this is the main turkish street in the old german city of cologne and streets like this that these new police officers are

intended for and it's on streets like this where people will decide whether this plan is an example of police and militia to fight or a failure to engage with germany's immigrant population tom barton r.t. cologne germany. well america needs to consolidate to be able to challenge the united states. date which treats the region as its backyard so says nicaraguan president daniel ortega who's given an exclusive interview to r.t. . the world is changing the us isn't this isn't a problem just for latin america but rather for the entire world and this country has military and economic power and at the same time it's not changing its expansionary and imperialist policy while the carry on the same policy is always they've been acting just like in the past their policy is of unwelcome intervention . and threats and. what could have been done to find

a way out of the situation. a lot and all of us hope were doing for my going to be a little bit with the united states whenever i speak to presidents of latin american countries no matter how conservative they are private they condemned the united states and added to the words of them they are against the fact that the u.s. government attributes points to them in their own classification of what government can support their idea of the u.s. acting like a green judge which gives you two points for democracy human rights and fighting against drug trafficking and your own who in turn will judge the us of course it gives way to emotions to speak about the economy about the protectionist policies that you was in european countries nobody agrees with it in a mob the thing is that we have not learned so far to organize or latin america and consolidate our you can people which will enable us to negotiate with your us and with developed countries on reasonable terms. there was that one that you can watch

the full interview with the nicaraguan leader in about twenty minutes time here on r.t. . now on the way for you she's the talk of america. snooki is no peace no peace no snow here find out why and. reality star is a modern day icon capturing the public's imagination. now as the russian built nuclear power plant was loaded with fuel in the wrong city of bush air on saturday the start of received mixed reaction from across the globe while israel called the idea of the station totally unacceptable the u.s. said the facility poses no proliferation risk and for more on the consequences of this launch we can cross to a political expert from the russian commerce newspaper so again i know mr stern i can thank you for joining us now israel said that iran should be able to enjoy the benefits of a new kind of nuclear energy because it's ignoring the world's concerns over its

atomic program but do you think now that it has the bush era plan in up and running tehran may be willing to return to talks over its nuclear projects. while i personally don't understand why there is so much noise all. station let me start by saying that if the international community is sincere in saying that iran can enjoy a fool right of developing its. peaceful nuclear program then definitely share should operate because as you are everywhere bush air station operating in full compliance all for all of the recommendations of the international atomic energy experts and also it. didn't contradict the. so-called nuclear nonproliferation regime and finally the most important thing is

that. bush air station was not embraced by the latest u.n. . resolution which. as you remember adopted in june of this year which imposes new sanctions on iran so so all in all we must. c.n. saying that iran. should be not deprived of their opportunity to build up its nuclear program with a parade to the west says concerns over the bush era project were eased after russia said it will be responsible for the disposing of the reactors used fuel which of course can you be used to make bombs is there any chance iran can cut cooperation with moscow all of a sudden and start operating this plant itself. well as i have already said they will share station the act in full compliance or for nuclear nonproliferation regime under the strict control of the international atomic.

energy so it seems that so far there is no way for round two to escape it of course they're ridiculous we can't rule out a possibility that it's at a certain point you're on would take on acting on its own but i don't think that iranian leadership which is quite pragmatic you see they will just the challenge not on the international community but jeopardize its relationship with russia understanding full consequences let me again emphasize that. the operational. largely depends on the rational in the russians are rational so the sheep went off fuel and this was emphasized you during their recent to be said to to iran as the head of the. company. if iran would but of course russia will have to take any action so i don't think

that your opinion side of all it will just the bakery and i think that this theoretical option now is emphasized by those who want to deprive the right of the right to build nuclear energy program peaceful nuclear energy program now to iran has announced that it's building another enrichment plant why is it doing this if it already has a share. well having said that iran should enjoy the right to their all of its nuclear program at the same time i must admit that their. side acts stop only and. will share which is totally different story there's also. a way around is in reach in the you're in the i'm at present through twenty percent degree but of course it would be easy for you around if you have the work. to get

ninety five percent in the reach the wrap on your a.t.m. that's why of course these type of your radio or iranian nuclear program is not the like and not to the liking not only only the united states and invest in areas but also it is a subject of concern for russian government and. i things that the un resolution like this u.n. resolution which was imposing new sanctions on iran was make in itself rhetoric when it clearly is that iran should not cross it on the red line and the world community at present is almost unanimous in depriving iran of their right of. political expert from the moscow based congress on newspaper thank you very much for your time. this is the girl the whole of america is talking about thirty countries around the world are gripped by a t.v. show that follows her life and she's even grabbed president obama's attention who

is she known simply as snoopy artie's marine important to the streets of new york to find out what all the fuss is about. she's the legendary sex goddess who in nam heard the world. clamors and females found. the fifty c.m.'s now women around with each passing decade a marriage. i embrace a new icon who created trends and fed fantasies. but to these a for a snow cave smokey smokey is not the snow these snow geese snooki is here snooki or nicole khaleesi is the smallest and hannah just cast member of m.t.v.'s reality show where he sure. is. from wall street. to the red carpet and the one who got me into the big hour.

tonight we need her was she well you know she's cool i think she's that way someone entertain me you are the one thing. if you are a reality t.v. star has become america's new cultural symbol a reflection some say of a different kind of a member of congress club or whatever to look into. the family has her own signature law and figure file that americans really have called the jersey sure so relatable even the u.s. president when he speaks of snow excluded from the indoor tanning to within this bill. snooki then gets caught should snooki run as mayor of was ala. moana smoking fact is artie called the streets of manhattan right on able to find even one person who doesn't know snooki yeah i would take me for

a drink right absolutely why because she's is the air is just like me making it through we make you popular cast member smokey of that hit reality show has been arrested with a reported salary of thirty thousand dollars per episode this reality show star has made it so he said national appeal may be debatable but her international reach i'm deniable jersey shore is currently broken. i think in more than thirty countries around the globe and their partners are turning to be learning about america that might make you know the most famous u.s. ambassador and that has some americans believing snooki might bore what the world thinks of the usa i don't associate myself with i just don't think that she's adding anything to to our cultural experience love her or hate her i think snooki is a new and different kind of symbol what. they need to get america. and meet

her in a poor naya. new york. this is live footage of an ongoing hostage situation in the philippines security forces are surrounding a bus which you can see seized by a former police officer which has fifteen tourists on board as we speak now this attempted operation to storm the vehicle was started after gunshots were heard local radio has reported the hijacker claimed to have killed all hostages we know that is not the case now the man who was armed with a rifle is demanding to be reinstated in his old job after he was dismissed from the police force in two thousand and eight and we know children are among the fifteen passengers still on board who are believed to be mostly from hong kong ten have already been released again live pictures from the philippines with an ongoing hostage situation taking place. in other world news the

you our exclusive interview with the nicaraguan president daniel ortega but first we're going to take a look at what's happening in the world of business with daniel. welcome to the program we start with a naughty business exclusive the c.e.o. of neurosis nickel tells us he's worried the company could be used as a cash cow when the bustle for control is resolved but they may put time in. twenty five percent of the group want to buy the other out chief executives. there's not say who would like to see winning as long as they put the interests of the company first. the bad thing about. this situation is quite difficult as you know there are several ways shareholders and managers view it something that you should take all you can now without thinking of the company's future which other shareholders who are in for the long term think that such a policy would slow down the company's development and would have

a negative impact in the future what i'm convinced that if you drain all the money out to the dividends it will seriously affect the local society salaries and tax receipts everything should be in balance dividends should be reasonable and not prevent the company's development. what you would now in your joint may be about to appear on the global communications markets across as visible com is reportedly in talks to barter telecom companies it's nice when a middle eastern or us called for six billion dollars the assets the courtly owned by egyptian tycoon negative so where is pool reports vimpel com is in talks to buy one hundred percent of wind and fifty one percent of or a scum the russian operator will reportedly from the deal with shares and around one billion dollars in cash if it goes through vimpel com will more than double the number of its uses but analysts say the main attraction is the development opportunities it offers an asia russia and ukraine.

growth drivers. at least both keir starmer and will calm russia can't deliver such high growth rates the way the lever several years ago in that case until it's reasonable to call for or for many activities such markets as the markets. asked you on the present rate that the market is not taking kindly to pull coms plans shares in the company fell dramatically as news of the possible acquisition emerged investors are worried about the debts associated with the companies the egyptian try coom wants to sell in the wind the wind has long been debt ridden currently its debt standard eight billion euros this is one of the main problems now service was trying to resolve by during new loans he had difficulties financing his activities i believe his main

objective with this deal is to resolve the problem of winds debt. another reason for the market to be unhappy is that the profitability of wind or risk is much lower than that of vimpel com so while the deal would mean vimpel com will become the fifth largest mobile communications group in the world for users it may be a case where more is less nick poole business r.t. . top of the stock market moscow is barely moving in extremely sluggish afternoon trade for russia's largest of rosneft is holding its one percent loss from the morning after the price of light sweet hit six weeks lows. exchanges are inching up over in europe on mergers and acquisitions talk from financials of mutual gained almost five percent of the h.s.b.c. bank said it could take over its parent company but insurer lost more than three percent as its forty nine percent drop in first after that. more than thirty

percent of experts working in russia were forced back to their respective countries because of the financial crisis but as the economy rebounds companies are starting to rehire foreign labor welcome guys the details. russia for foreigners has always been a country of perceived risk but it has always been a risk with potentially huge rewards big salaries and low taxation have been a draw for many in addition russia is a relatively undiscovered country for the people in the west and offers a sense of adventure although that sense of strangeness works both ways in russia there is very much the concept of local we're now seeing in central eastern europe much less of this because if an american works in the u.k. or a german works in italy this isn't their ex-pat this is just somebody working in a different country and i think eventually that will happen here the recent crisis spell the end for many ex-pats working in russia as companies cut costs by letting go high paid staff with

a recovery has come renewed demand for outside expertise and the ability to pay for it. but headhunters cautioned against the idea that foreign is necessarily better on the whole i have to i'm a little bit skeptical about how successful foreigners have been when working for russian companies because far too often they're brought in for window dressing purposes that you know hey we've got this guy let's wheel him out for the investors because he's got a big name clearly it's a question of hiring the best person for the job but russia presents its own set of challenges for business your local knowledge is often of paramount importance its vast majority expatriates are not grades as general managers see those of the corporations not because they're bad but because state dominates g r as a function is vital here so you shouldn't high expatriates for this difficult role as first deputy here heading up marketing heading up operations expatriates are

great the key to russia's appeal is that there is still so much to do and accomplish something that foreigners from a saturated and developed west akim. to be a part of and should president medvedev strive from one night zation gain momentum it could open up a new range of opportunities in small and medium sized high tech companies michael . business. that's the way it is business the headlines on that with.

russia would be so much brighter if you knew about songs from phones to impressions . for instance on t.v. dot com. wealthy british style but. that's not on the tires on. the. market why not come to. find out.
