a place like this you don't have to go far from the capital this smoke is familiar to everyone who was in moscow last summer back then doctors said breathing in the smoke that covered the city was equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes every hour now the question on everyone's mind is whether the smog misery is back again peed bongs may look harmless with just tiny flames on the surface but in fact every square meter requires a ton of water to extinguish the fire burning deep underground before you get ever wanting it down your small green peas beneath the surface may undermine or work. the authorities insist the situation is under control and most of the flies in the moscow region have been successfully extinguished however campaign is city officials are under reporting the extent of the problem both around moscow and across the country. after this situation has made it worse by the bureaucrats instead of reacted swiftly it went all the time concealing the information about

fires and does make it more difficult to get the bill in time but it would. campaigners say part of the problem is that the forests are being mistreated they say more needs to be done to prevent five by better management with summer at its peak remnants of camp fires are all across the forest despite advance introduced a month ago and there's only so much plenty is can do but when i was driving into the forests there in syria for a betting line. there is a huge placard at the entrance to the right. breaking heat of summer two thousand and ten resulted in devastating forest fires that killed sixty two people destroyed one hundred ninety nine towns and reduced city two hundred houses to ashes but the fire was literally coming towards us we could hear the trees crackling they were burning and then who's the wind blew it the other way. this year most of the countries against words rain and the fires are raging once more large areas of

fifth fleet or you move through the election rates which controlled by the american seventh fleet chinese are very sensitive to this they. they worry about the fact that the united states could sort of footage from on their energy juggler vein and shoulder their very kind of tense and other concern about keeping those sea lanes open that's why they are so. pushy about the south china sea i think that mistake on the part of the chinese advantage is that they've been a little overly pushy with some of the smaller countries in the region and that has allowed the united states to get four in the door but this is part of a worldwide competition for energy resources between the number one and the number two powers now energy users in the world and the fact that the united states has pretty much surrounded most of china with bases that go all the way from central asia to the north pacific but that's the context in which this takes place. some

other international top stories this hour. in the asiana airlines cargo plane has crashed into the sea about a hundred kilometers west of the south korean city of jejune both the pilot and copilot were killed contact with the plane was lost shortly after the crew important uncle difficulties that speculation that strong wind and rain may have caused the tragedy. israel is reinforcing the northern border of the occupied golan heights where it meets syria with a one hundred twenty kilometer long fence eight kilometers have already been built comes off in the last months of rest when hundreds of syrians and distant protesters stormed the building that israel is checking on its contested for instead of a u.n. vote in september recognition of a palestinian state. libya's foreign minister has described the person's decision to recognize the rebels and expel one of the

dolphins diplomats as illegal and responsible for but its government is also on freezing one hundred fifty. a billion dollars of libya's oil assets to help fund the rebels opposition m.p. and peace campaign jamie corbin is trying to play the role of judge and jury the future of the state. is involved ourselves in a civil war between the government and the gadhafi regime in tripoli and i suspect this is going to run for a very long time and incredibly nasty and bloody and there are human rights abuses being reported on both sides including the treatment of african people by the transitional government as well as the treatment for position people by the government to market efforts to reality on reality would have is a war for regime change and this is now been successful and i think that this is going to be subject to a lot of legal argument it's a very strange situation all round because britain formally recognized the

government of gadhafi indeed we were providing arms and training for his forces until march of this year huge amount of trade with libya and indeed a vast amount of libyan investment in britain then when the war started in libya britain and france joined in nato jointly and they persuaded the u.n. to pass one nine seven three which is allegedly a no fly zone and now they've decided they're going to switch horses and expel the diplomats from tripoli and replace them with the people from benghazi will seems to me that we are now deeply involved in the civil war in effectively trying to play judge and jury on the future of libya surely the future of libya is for the libyan people the source not western arms. it's been more than a thousand years since ancient russia was christianized cation top officials and wish it was a gathering in kiev that's where the message started to spread millennium ago.

a native with bright colorful concerts later in the evening now indeed of course this is a very important for the history of russia that the country adopted orthodox christianity but that choice may well have been different and the beautiful monastery which you can see over there may have easily been a mosque because back then in the year nine hundred eighty eight delegates from all religions came over to key of two of the priests to offer their religion and. historians are still finding proper explanation why did ludhiana choose orthodox christianity some even joked that just choice because the orthodox christianity in fact el. loud people to drink wine well maybe this is a joke this is being debated by historians more likely that the choice for the orthodox christianity was more geopolitical because of the lemon want to do have closer ties with biden team and other european powers nevertheless this was

. coming up next l.t. talks to iran's foreign minister about the country's nuclear program than russia's role as a mediator between tehran and the international community. the worst the suspicious of iran's nuclear program while you insist that you have peaceful intentions around doing to convince the west that you nuclear program is intended to serve peaceful purposes but when you come home. the only international body that has the authority to evaluate our activities this is. a new state is allowed to accuse iran regarding its nuclear program bedside i.e. a bank to raise or to initiate any international action against iran this is why we pay no attention to the west claims regarding our nuclear research iran is

a member of the i.a.e.a. and a party to the nonproliferation treaty iran is going to respect that treaty says nuclear nonproliferation is in our interests as well i confirm that iran has made its intentions quite clear with regard to its nuclear program proving that it is peaceful this is further reaffirmed by the fact that the i.a.e.a. did not state in any of his reports that there is any military activity going on in iran's nuclear sector as for their intentions how come the united states accuse us of pursuing non peaceful purposes while america itself was the first nation ever to use nuclear weapons killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and. this is why we have no faith in america's intentions as history shows cannot be trusted during our war with iraq saddam's regime used chemical weapons against iran but we did not respond in kind and surrounds policies based on shari'a law which forbids us from producing storing or using nuclear weapons.
