don with the way and it seems that recent climate change in moscow has brought an end to the recent forest fires that have been ravaging the nation. in other news all talk and no action on the nicaraguan president says washington's promises of change are falling flat criticising the government for what he calls an aggressive policy and constant meddling. and punch to stardom as the us embrace of new cultural symbols in the face of outrageous reality stars some americans fear it's trashing the country's image abroad.

it's five pm in moscow and this is r t coming to you live with me nice in no way firefighters have succeeded in extinguishing almost all of the blazes in the moscow region one of the area's worst hit by the fatal flames this summer the damage caused to russia's budget by the record breaking heat wave is approaching four hundred million dollars because i mean i was out of a house the latest update on the fire situation across the country. it seems that the emergencies ministry did report that all most of the country's fires have been played out specifically in the moscow region as you can see the weather is completely different to what we've gotten used to over the past few weeks it's actually quite cold people are wearing jumpers sweaters and 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 in central russia and the most affected regions like the region overdesigned for example there forest fires are still ravaging the countryside thousands have already lost their homes 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 your home or whether they'll be still facing building construction processes when it comes down to the brush a winter which as everybody knows is no mean feat the of families of all those who lost loved ones in the fires were paid over a million roubles in compensation you know they are hundred million rubles has already been paid out to those who were affected by the forest fires the russian

prime minister's monitoring. practically personally monitoring the construction processes 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 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 murders these ministry is doing a better job of controlling them the situation is no where near an end. turkish police could soon be seen patrolling the streets of germany it's part of a new. to bring increasingly volatile immigrant communities in the country under control as artist tom barn has been finding out critics say it's just another example of discrimination. crystal tank feels like a stranger in her own country daily she enjoys the summer parks and life here in this cologne suburb where not working as a doctor but she feels totally outnumbered death can't live with it all happened

very silently and without anyone noticing much the german population will delay their children were taken out of the schools and suddenly there are literacy here and 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. are immigrant . was that when you did the work for now we have room to move you make them all to make it and rape them. but as well as being the largest ethnic minority some believe they're also the worst written into the new society is then was 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

a big effect on their behavior. a broken bone is a small group although many germans think multiculturalism isn't working many also think turks should be allowed religious cultural freedom most of the immigrants are the great that they are all the way the ordinary were. they behave a little when we went to some of these areas many turks themselves denied there were problems taken out as they are trying to live together and i understand there are some problems but it's not true. the 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 where always you feel it. as well as a cultural divide there's also the more serious problem of crime unemployment among

young turks in germany is high the resulting boredom leading to delinquency crystal has seen it all passion betty cept in 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 the 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 best information our company would have 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 the high violence potential so we had 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 you have not really i don't like this plan the russian polish minorities don't have the police it's not fair for the turkish to have them you have to talk as police other people won't respond german police. this is the main turkish street in the old german city of cologne in streets like this that these new police officers are intended for and it's on streets like this the people will decide whether this plan. an example of policemen or of a failure to engage with germany's immigrant population tom barton r.t. cologne germany. but in america it needs to consolidate to be able to challenge the united states 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 their entire world and this country has military and economic power and at the same time it's not changing its expansionary and imperialist policy. they carry on the same policy as always since they have been acting just like in the past their policy is of unwelcome intervention of coups and threats and i guess about a third of what could have been done to find a way out of the situation say i was offered at the lot and all of us supported the new format of relations with the united states whenever i speak to presidents of latin american countries no matter how conservative they are private they condemn the united states and added to the words of them they are against the fact that he was government attributes points to them in their own classification of what government can support the idea of the us acting like a greedy judge which gives you the points for democracy human rights and fighting

against drug trafficking in your own currency who in turn will judge the us of course it gives way to emotions to speak about the economy about the protectionist policy of the us and european countries nobody agrees with that i'm up the thing is that we have not learned so far to organize a latin american area to consolidate our able latin american people which will enable us to negotiate with europe now with us and with developed countries and reasonable terms they will see that it wants and that meant. you can watch that full interview with daniel ortega next hour here on our team at six thirty pm moscow time. now on the way the people turning to spiritual powers instead of science discover how a sacred spot on the bank of siberia is led by kali is home to a goddess with a strong fertility ability. snooki the snow keep the snow geese not be easier and find out why an outspoken reality star is

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 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 inbounds dividends should be reasonable and not prevent the company's development. why would your joint may be about to appear on the global communications markets russia's vimpel com is reportedly in talks to buy two telecoms companies it's a middle eastern or us going for six billion dollars the assets are currently owned by egyptian teicher negative so where is the 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

a third of ex-pats 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 walk across 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 the 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 of being 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 to 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 try expatriates for this difficult role

as first deputy here heading up marketing heading up operations expatriates are great the key to rush'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 mitigated strive for modernization and gain momentum it could open up a new range of opportunities in small and medium sized high tech companies michael . business ati. futures are up ahead of the opening bell join us for that in fifty minutes.
