six am in moscow thanks for joining us on our t. our top story the final state of emergency imposed due to russia's drought and wildfires has been lifted the cost of the damage caused by the record breaking heat wave is approaching four hundred million dollars. has the latest update on the fire situation across russia. 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 russia 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 roubles 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. the choking smog that smothered moscow in parts of central russia raise serious concerns about the possible impact on the country's ecology a campaign director at greenpeace russia even on block of says the long term effects are extremely dangerous. that's right in moscow during that period of the probe was growing two to four times the ban on different estimates and we can definitely talk about several sols and people who died because of the way people were suffering from the influence of the so much sooner than previous to that once they come up with some of their counter and one of them also what's being true is that there is the problem of this system become face consequences of such

a promise you monson yeah unfolds in a while and that will be the. latin america needs to consolidate to be able to challenge to be us that treats the region as its backyard that's according to nicaraguan president daniel ortega who spoke exclusively to r.t. . you know the world is changing the u.s. isn't this isn't a problem just for latin america but rather for the entire world and this country has military in the comic novel and at the same time it's not changing its expansionary and imperialist policy 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 hungry for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. you can catch the full interview

with ortega later in the hour here on our t.v. well on the way the people turning to spiritual powers instead of science discover how our sacred spot on the back of siberia's lake by call is home to a goddess with strong fertility ability. so no key. no peace no peace no peace no he not be here and find out why an outspoken reality star is becoming a modern day icon capturing the american public's affection. but first iran's nuclear power plant to start up has received mixed worldwide reaction after being loaded with fuel in the city of boosh air on saturday while israel condemned the movie us said the facility poses no proliferation risk iran expert professor ali ansari believes the world wide criticism of the start up has received . criticism at the start of has received is unjustified those who look at

this will realize what it is which is basically a lot will to react which is meant to fulfill some of the needs of iran and it just the requirements power requirements and i think overall in order in some ways to reassure him to defuse some of those iranian allegations that the international community or the west for that matter is against the element of iran's nuclear policy i think they should in broad terms welcome it we ought to remember of course that for instance the french have signed an agreement with the united arab emirates for the development and building of nuclear power plants then so it's not as if this is breaking the mold to speak there are other developments taking place in those reactors i think they've signed for several reactors actually not just one turkish police could soon be seen but trolling the streets of germany is part of a new plan to bring increasingly volatile immigrant communities in the country under control but as artie's tamari has been fighting 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 out numbered. and. it all happened very silently without anyone noticing much the german population will delay their children were taken out of the schools and suddenly there are only talks here there are around two million turkish citizens living in germany with many more having the doctor 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 you can't. go there when you do the work for now we have room in the year we make them all to make. you great. but as well as being the largest ethnic minority some believe there are also the worst at fitting into the new society 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. procol lone is 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 behaved. when we went to some of these areas many turks themselves denied there were problems. with 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 where are we going to feel

that. 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 passion betty sefton 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 in 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 thought 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 had to think about what we could do better. but the plot is getting a lot of criticism some saying it's clear evidence that police don't know how to do it to these communities and crystal is one of those who thinks it's discrimination against to you know i don't like this plan the russian police minorities downtown police it's not fine after the turkish to have them you have to police other people don'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 where people will decide whether this plan is an example of police and or of a failure to engage with germany's immigrant population tom bottom cologne germany . hostage crisis in the philippines is now over after

a hijacked bus was stormed by police officials say eight of the hostages plus the gunmen who held them captive are dead another eight captives were wounded the hostage taker was a former police officer demanding to be reinstated following his sacking in two thousand and eight. to be mostly tourists from hong kong. triple suicide bomb attacks in pakistan's volatile tribal belt along the afghan border have killed at least thirty six people the deadliest at a mosque which left twenty six dead earlier a bomb exploded during a meeting of trial tribal elders killing a seven and a third bomb blast killed the leader of an anti taliban militia along with two aides on the outskirts of peshawar no one claimed responsibility for the attack but the finger of blame is pointing solidly towards the taliban. in siberia along the shores of lake baikal locals and childless couples make pilgrimages to a sacred place people believe it's the home of a fertility goddess that helps even infertile women have children or can use sean

thomas met some of the lucky parents. many seeker wisdom but she never utters a word hundreds come to be blessed with children but she doesn't work in any clinic yet here near the shores of lake by call lies the sacred place that's home to the powers of the goddess yon jima and it's not just the local people who are drawn in . i was here last year and i always keep remembering the garden this year i came to play with my sister and a girlfriend this place is special you could say it's closer to the cosmos. image is said to be found in these rocks many come here to pay homage but it is said that each has a unique perspective. she's always seem differently to some she's dancing to others playing a guitar some see her in a car or on a horse some see a tiger which is a keeper of buddhism some don't see her immediately this means they have to walk more circles around the mountain the more the better then they'll see her though the spot is said to be sacred in general those who come here say that this area has

one very special and specific power or choko you hear to create and jim is a very strong god is he she helps people and children she helps this women to have children in fact influence is said to be behind a kind of population surge so they both rates going out yes we need to have kindergartens opened again but they've all been closed now we need them again and the people who haven't bought a busines say that the power of these rocks is so real that women who have been medically declared infertile are able to have children once they've experienced a miracle here natalia solomon's gay or was an accomplished professional athlete but what she wanted more than anything was to have a child something might just the way or professional sport is not good for your health because it's just about chaining medicines and that since my body was exhausted in one thousand nine hundred seventy i was diagnosed with it you might have to keep me to moved they told the doctor i wanted another child he did

everything possible for me to have more children but it wasn't a possibility why. visiting her parents neighbors suggested she paid a visit to young jima and though skeptical natalia made the journey the other the so i just want to. have everything in my mind well i'm asking for is the child they didn't even care whether it would be a boy in a week who returned to my parents' home and went to that place again and just doesn't look like i could. while in her mid forty's natalia gave birth and is now the proud mother of a healthy four year old daughter today she directs other would be mothers down the same path on your i need tragedy not to be one who in their brain was married twice and had no kids she's a wealthy business woman says that perhaps everywhere but she had a baby at forty one but it hadn't visited that grace there are many examples so it's true that she hopes to. doctors of course will have other ideas but in the

absence of a better baby boom explanation as mountain will bring mothers to be in search of a family shawn thomas and artie siberia. you're about those news block with a dose of pop culture she's america's latest sweetheart thirty countries around the world are gripped by a t.v. show that follows a lives of her and her friends and she's even grabbed the attention of president obama who is well she's called snooki our teams marina port and i took to the streets of new york to find out what all the fuss is about. she's the legendary sex goddess who in namur the world. symbol glamour and famous friends whom the fifty's gave us now monroe with each passing decade america embraced a new icon who created trends and fed fantasies. but today's it for a snow cave snooki is no peace no peace no snooki is here snooki or nicole khaleesi is the smallest and hannah just cast member of m.t.v.'s reality

commandante thank you for joining us today regarding the code to time hunt do you read. as an isolated incident a good situations possibly. was a blow for all latin american countries which just a few weeks prior to that had a meeting with president obama in china died in two boggo a letter proclaimed the beginning of new relations with latin america that cool meant the fight against intentions expressed in china the time to bother about not just against the latin american people what against the policy proclaimed by the president obama as well because the u.s. forces of reaction are capable of organizing condone such a openly in front of their president we cannot even talk about what would happen in the future these forces are trying to establish their power in spite of suggestions

and obligations taken by president obama in relations to latin american and caribbean countries you mentioned changes in the u.s. policy regarding latin america how would you define that change and how would you assess a us throw in the politics of latin american countries and china got into lago president obama said he wanted our relations to be based on your children respect and so on or about how can anyone explain u.s. involvement in the cohen whom duras just a few months later and how can we explain the fact that the us was fighting to recognize the hundred mg. the only thing we see is that the us hasn't changed in its essence the world is changing the us isn't and this isn't a problem just for latin america but rather for the entire world this country has military and economic power and at the same time it's not changing its expansionary and imperialistic policy. if you talked about basing your relations with the us and

we had to respect is there any progress in this matter has anything changed in this regard. what has changed so far is the method at present them have any means for organizing nicaragua or for instance if they had they would have tried doing it they cannot start a war against. or against. ecuador or nicaragua they do have the means within the us but the situation in latin america wouldn't let it happen even though the u.s. is always keeping it in their plans doesn't mean the risk is always that love and the threat is always there what could have been done to find a way out of the situation for them is a law that's necessary to strengthen the unity and mutual integration of latin american countries of course the more we are united and integrated the more we will be respected it's logical i think the main thing you was polish you did was to

divide us to rule us we are really integrated and united as the partners have been your core are. cuban or bolivia work or the work partner will be latin america and the caribbean countries such a partner will be more authoritative and have the opportunity to look for ways to reach an agreement with respecting each other and feeling equal. what can different latin american countries do to continue fighting for the implementation of that policy what can they do to reach an alliance while there are fundamental points of dispute like between. venezuela and colombia. look at you know i think that there is a principle which we all share taking into consideration the processes in different countries and their own peculiarities which we all have to respect who are always be issues which we viewed differently but there will be issues which we view in

a similar way especially in relations between the people of latin america governments and their international community that all of us condemn any kind of military aggression on the part of the united states but all condemned plots against latin american governments and takeovers which for example were organized in venezuela and wonderous we all support lifting the embargo on cuba a country where for dell has turned into a doubtless leader who protects their years which are shared by all latin america and other words there's a number of issues which we all view when a similar way 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 and private they condemn the united states attitudes towards them they are against the fact that the u.s. government attributes points to them in their own classification of what government can support the idea of the west acting like a greek church which gives you the points for democracy and human rights and

fighting against drug trafficking and your own country who in turn will judge the u.s. of course it gives way to emotions speak about the economy about the protectionist policy of the u.s. and european countries well nobody agrees with that this thing is that we have not learned so far to organize or latin american area to consolidate our able latin american people which will enable us to negotiate with europe and the us and with developed countries and reasonable terms. at that but let me make it clear you find a stand you can directly use. that's all presidents without exception chad this viewpoint. says that. yes at least in my experience of talking to them in private or heard all of them criticizing the american policy they're not agree with that and of course at the moment i cannot say for older latin american presidents but i am sure that they cannot agree with

a policy which contradicts the interest of their people countries and economic interests with. political decision in nicaragua as recognition of the independence of the caucasian republics of a pause in south the said here was also disputed although many people died did that there was any sense in a twenty. something included an exotic step what lay behind your decision. within our principles our national identity our year for struggle of independence of other nations irrespective of how small they may be and the respect which every nation even the smallest ones deserve here in latin america we continue waging a struggle for their independence of puerto rico whose people are fighting because the united states is occupying its territory in the twenty first century what we continue fighting to force the british empire or what's left over to be more precise to leave them on venus islands it's a tiny territory but there's

a reason for us to stop fighting for it and give it up no this territory belongs to the argentine people and should therefore go back to them the same asu of the guantanamo territory and cuba in this case we're talking about then dependence of two small nations who have their own national identity and history and who have risen to fight for their independence many times therefore within has a t. to recognize the independence of those two nations do you think that your decision to recognize the independence of a positive south essential was right every. the i'm becoming more convinced that the decision we made was right of course it was great in what it is about to have russia can stay neutral when the events occurred in those two republics because it came under direct attack from the georgian troops in this connection many interpreted nicaragua's position as an expression of solidarity with russia what can you say about that. yes it is necessary to take into

account. and russia had developed their relations long before the events in south and applies here historically we still have very warm relations with the former soviet union and those relations developed intensively between one nine hundred seventy nine and one nine hundred ninety i would describe those relations as extremely fair an example of what relations between developed and developing countries should look like in those days we applied principles which is so much talked about today the principles of honest trade exchanges and mutually complementary relations this is the principle that was applied so in the cases of cries here and south their seats here which is the only country that could protect those peoples who were attacked and the fan the popular will there is contacts were embarking on the same path of relations with russia where we storing historical

relations with russian people under new conditions i think the us so what prospects do you see at this new stage of relations i can indeed there was a period of howling in nicaragua as relations with russia. that what and what isn't you know we're ready see the results we think about digging a can now we in the corroborate cannot imagine doing it without russia this canal should be built with assistance from russia but i don't know doubt to lead the world community but russia's participation is a priority. i mean as well as fully agreed to participate in the construction of the canal there will run through the carotid one territory the canards construction that was always been on the agenda and the conditions of this construction have always been nicaragua's mean sin that the god why because it always been sinful in the eyes of the united states the nicaragua wants to control every movement by the

central american region i feel that relations with russia are progressing in all directions when i want to thank you very much for being with us today thank you very much.
