that the move could damage relations with washington china is demanding respect for its territorial sovereignty while the u.s. maintains the air and sea should be open to any country to navigate it's all part of the super competition for energy so says helen from the american base foreign policy in focus think tank. radio in the united states is the number one user of energy in the world and china's the number two. chinese oriel eighty percent of chinese energy supplies moved by see the move through the streets of four months which is controlled by an american city fleet. street 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 sort of put it on their energy joggler again and so they're they're very. tense and now they're concerned about keeping those

sea lanes open and that's why they are so. pushy about the south china sea i think that the stake on the part of the chinese that there is they've been a little overly pushy or 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 learn number one and then number two powers in our energy users in the world and the fact that the united states has pretty much surrounded most of china with bases there always from central asia to the north pacific that's the context in which this takes place ok we've got not the stories coming your way this hour find out how orthodox religion first appearance. orthodox believers in russia ukraine and belarus are celebrating a thousand and twenty three years since this part of the world that got that

orthodox christianity but this choice of the religion may well have been different joining me from kiev all the details. as the mercury heads for forty degrees celsius here in the memories that will last long as snopes covered city are looming as r.c.a.'s as i have over reports the extreme heat wave as a when he calls an outbreak of a lot of pies on the weekend. and whiff of the smoke in moscow is in panic again a toxic cocktail of pete smoke wood smoke and exhaust fumes that filled the capitol last august is still the lead in people's memory intense pain got fires and the record heat waves were blamed for the dense smog that sent pollution levels soaring ten fold and was thought to have contributed to tens of thousands of deaths in the capital you thought at least for they would be prepared and seeing to find a place like this you don't have to go far from the capital this is familiar to everyone who was in moscow last summer back then doctors said breathing in the

smoke that covered the city was it would lead to smoking a pack of cigarettes every hour now the question on everyone's mind is whether the smog misery is back again piedmont 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 during the underground threat of mining occurring is waldron please believe the surface way of the mine or. the authorities insist the situation is under control and most of the fires in the moscow region have been successfully extinguished however the campaign is see i think under reporting the extent of the problem both around moscow and across the country where this edition is waiting for words where the bureaucrats head of rich and sweet quit and all that kind concealing their formation about fires and those that make it more difficult to get away with time. 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 campfires out all the course the forest is by the band introduced a month ago and there is only so much room to use continue when i was driving into the forest that ensuring you're providing a time when there is a huge plaque card at the entrance the record. in 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 c.d.t. hundred houses to actions. the thought i was literally coming towards us we could hear the trees crackling they were burning and then hoosh the wind blew it the other way that this year most of the country's advance well drained and the fires are raging once more large areas of forest have already been destroyed in russia's far east more bored to the north already choking on smog and with all the still to

do russians from the capital to the countryside hope the summer sun won't be as deadly this time variable r t the region ok well some other international stories of this hour for you are heading for his claim that he's fearful for a less than three days they have a cell for a capital soul flooding has forced thousands of their homes the destroyed many buildings scenes of rescue workers are using heavy machinery and shovels to search for the survivors forecasters predict another twenty five centimeters of rain will fall by. israel is it reinforcing the will of the order of the occupied golan heights where it meets syria with a one hundred twenty kilometer long a fence eight kilometers have already been built the move comes after a lot of other arrests were hundreds of syrian and procol a story of protesters stormed the border it's well let's check it well it's contested borders ahead of a u.n. vote in september on the recognition of

a palestinian state. libya's foreign minister described britain's decision to recognize the rebels and expelled meant as illegal and irresponsible government and freezing a hundred million dollars of libya's oil to help the rebels opposition m.p. and peace campaigner jeremy cool beans. and inconsistent policy and offer. these involve ourselves in a civil war between the sensational 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 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 of market there for the reality. is a war for regime if 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 situational road because britain formally recognized the government of. providing arms and training for his forces and so on march of this year huge amount of trade with libya into a vast amount of investment in britain then the war started in libya britain and france joined in nato jointly and they persuaded the u.n. to pass 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 going garcia 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 snog the occasion top baltics officials and worship at the gathering in the ukrainian capital let's hear

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 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 key of two of the pool for their religion historians are still finding proper explanation why did not even choose orthodox christianity some even joked that this 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 the other european powers nevertheless this was

a historical decision and believes all across the post of its base are celebrating this day. ok that's movie news this is now here on r.t. business states reliever. hello and welcome to business here on our team now let's take a look at the latest the ruble has reached the three year high against the euro dollar basket but growth of russia's currency is mainly due to uncertainty over the u.s. that ceiling and problems in the euro zone analysts also say strong world prices and lower capital outflow other factors supporting the legal. let's take a look at the markets now precious metal prices are mixed this hour as silver has slipped into the red gold is gaining as investors look for safe haven it's an insurgency over the u.s. that the solution. boiled prices are also makes the sour there is still under pressure as the owners of us that ceiling debate chipped away at investor
