the russian president and. the kremlin is puzzled by this blacklist the so-called blacklist earlier forced by the state. which reported goods around sixty russian citizens including some senior police officials the federal security service. doctors and others from the state department. to see the markets. have. his rights while the kremlin says that it's possible because there are currently several investigations going on here russia looking into the circumstances of money to the staff there haven't yet been any decisions on them and neither have any more people on the american black list been found guilty of a similar rights violations are actually going to force the russian the blacklist will move the american officials for thought to. forethought to have.

hammered the rights of russian citizens in the united states this is really turning into some sort of a look just to see the russian foreign minister said that this was done. by the american side which could negatively affect trust between the united states and russia and did promise an adequate reaction so i guess this is the reaction that will been waiting for since wayne state just to remind us again my goodness it was a war of words for the boys for the best man for and here in russia he was accused of organizing a minute longer than scheme was arrested but died in prison before the court could make a decision on his case has caused a huge reaction here in washington and i'm all the international community several investigations began including one which is kind of my president's commission on

the former vice president who did just this personally monitoring the course of this investigation and since it hasn't come to an end yet and there hasn't yet been a court decision on this case and it's really not clear why the american side thinks that all these people are directly related to what's the money is that. is to come no doubt there's no fact thank you very much for that update. well there's a lot more to discover on our website as well at r.t. dot com or despite extreme heat shorts out of fashion in russia's northern capital is not instigating something up even the threat of violence from flushing a bit too much leg also online. to russian cities are rated among the ten most polluted in the world considered even worse for people's health in general but on to our website on our stories along with the latest biggest problems.

for. america says it plans to continue a constant solutions that china is comes out of to a chinese fighter jets intercepting. taiwan and china claims as its territory beijing is wal-mart the move could damage with nations with washington journalist amount of respect for its territorial sovereignty now the u.s. maintains the errancy should be open for any country to navigate some part of a simple past competition for energy routes so says conn hallinan from the american based on policy focus think tank. prey on the united states is the number one user of energy in the world and china is the number two and chinese oriel eighty percent of chinese energy supplies moved i see that you move through the streets of rome

once which is controlled by an american fleet well it moves straits which controlled by the american seventh fleet chinese are very sensitive to this and they they worry about the fact that the united states could serve puts so much on their energy shoveller vein and so there they're very kind of tense and now they're concerned you know 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 have been 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 a foot in the new work but this is part of a worldwide competition for energy resources and to a number one in 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 there

all the way from central asia to the north pacific that's the context in which this takes place. that we've got more stories are coming your way this hour find out how orthodox of it best of it and russia. in russia ukraine and belarus are celebrating at thousand and twenty three years since this part of the world adopted orthodox christianity but this choice of the religion may well have been different joining me from here for all the details. as the mercury heads for forty degrees celsius in moscow and last summer smoke up at city of me was artie's it ever school discovered the extreme heat wave has already caused an outbreak of wildfires in italy. i and with all the smoke and moscow's in panic again the toxic cocktail of beat smoke wood smoke and exhaust fumes that filled the capitol last august is still buried in people's memory intense people fires and the record heat

waves were blamed on the then small bets and pollution levels soaring ten fold and was thought to have contributed to tens of thousands of deaths in the capital the authorities swore they would be prepared this year to find a place like this you don't have to go far from the capital this smoke is from elliott everyone who was in moscow last summer but then dr said breathing in this not that covered the city was what led to smoking a pack of cigarettes every hour now the question on everyone's mind is whether the smog misery is back again the bugs may look harmless with just twenty flames on the surface but in fact every screen need to revise that kind of fuel to the extinguish the fire burning deep underground before you get there without fighting it than a small group is beneath the surface may undermine all you're doing with the authorities insist the situation is under control and most of the fires in moscow region have been successfully extinguished however campaign is state officials

under reporting the extent of the problem both around moscow and across the country so it's a question as there often is a division is weighted with words by the bureaucrats was that of reacted swiftly and all the time conceal as they summation of wires and does everything or make it more difficult to get to be able to time but i would say you're going to have what campaigners say part of the problem is that the forests are being mistreated they say more needs to be done to prevent guys by better management with summer at its peak remnants of camp fires out all the force of forest despite the ban introduced him to do and there's only so much room to use come to me when i was driving into the forest then seeing you for that english are you talking on there is a huge track heart at the entrance the record. and 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 thirty three hundred houses to ashes. the

fire was not only coming towards us we're going to hear trees crackling of they were burning and then who's the wind blew it the other way you know this year most of the country's against well drained and the fires are raging once more large areas of forest have already been destroyed in russia's far east more parts of the north are already choking on smog and with all the still to go russians from the capital to the countryside hope this summer sun won't be as deadly this time. r.t. moscow region. are some of the international top stories for you this hour and i see on airlines cargo plane crashed into the sea about one hundred kilometers west of the south when seeking pleasure by the pilot and copilot will contact with the plane was lost shortly after the crew reported mechanical difficulties and speculation that strong wind rain may have caused the tragedy. israel is reinforcing the northern border of occupied golan heights where it meets syria with

a hundred twenty kilometer long fence eight kilometers already been built the move comes after last month's unrest when hundreds of serial palestinian protesters stormed water as well a struggle or it's contested borders ahead of a u.n. vote in september on the recognition of palestinian state. libya's foreign minister has described britain's decision to recognize the rebels expel colonel gadhafi as diplomats as illegal and responsible for the government is also on freezing a hundred fifty million dollars of libya's oil assets to help fund the rebels well positioned n.b.a. and peace campaign a journey called in certain players trying to play the role of judge and jury in the future of the north african state. it is involved in a civil war between the government and the gadhafi regime in tripoli and i suspect this is going to run for 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 of opposition people by the government of narco perfect reality on reality of how it is a war for regime if this is now been successful and i think 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 in providing arms and training for his forces until march of this year huge amount of trade with libya he did a vast amount of libyan investment in britain then the war started in libya britain and france joined in nato jointly and they persuaded the u.n. so one hundred seventy 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 and 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 and occasional top off the box officials and question is a gathering in ukraine capital let's say your share schemes in kiev started to spread the millennium. thousands have gathered in key of central monastery to cue the chest a lot of the one you can see over there behind me to attend the biggest liturgy the biggest service held by the head of the russian orthodox church have to deal with came over to the ukrainian capital to mark the celebrations of the christianization of ancient russia indeed a thousand and twenty three years ago. who was back then reigning in kiev adopted christianity he took several citizens of kiev to the waters of the river here in kiev and turned them into orthodox christians this is the biggest religious holiday

for the believes all cross post soviet space indeed russia ukraine and belarus are celebrating this holiday and today a thursday is the final day of the celebrations were understand that services and liturgies will be held everywhere across these countries and also this is becoming 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 orthodox christianity but that choice may well have been different and the beautiful mona she 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 kiev to the tool for their religion historians are still finding proper explanation why did not even choose orthodox christianity some even joked that just choice because the orthodox christianity in fact allowed 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. even wanted to have closer ties with other european powers nevertheless this was a historical decision and believers all across the post office space are celebrating this day. well the business news is next i would mean a closer. hello and welcome to business here on our team now we start this hour with the rule which has reached a three year high against the euro dollar baskets the growth of russia's currency is mainly due to uncertain see over the u.s. that ceiling and problems in the eurozone analysts also say strong oil prices and lower capital outflow are the popular support of the google. and let's take
