2:17 pm
moment fire and sound until there is a state of emergency here and also urging people to go and check that the bomb shelters up to scratch not approach it doesn't make any mention of any kind of any round but certainly it is giving some kind of urgency and there has been those who suggested that it is really the latest state by israeli politicians in preparation for human and war and certainly we've heard that kind of rhetoric coming out of the israeli political elite some officials have said that we're looking at a civilian conference some five hundred people in any kind of war that would follow and it's raining strike on the run parallel to the brochure there is an advert that is writing on israeli television and it shows the way in general we sit with these maybe army officers and they're trying to convince him to give this up in an israeli attack on an enemy state presumably the ranch the general at that stage paid paid by the bucket people not sitting in front of the fence something along
2:18 pm
the lines of let's go nuts which the israelis misinterpret to mean that he has given them the green light for this operation for the missile stock to fall right and you have. those who were out of the way for the israelis so we have been putting up there with them it does seem as if there is something wrong with both we have heard some israeli politicians on record saying that a strike on iran is going to mean that the official line to be from the government in terms of this brochure and when we spoke to the army was that it is nothing more than just the general public awareness campaign that people countries need to know what to do in a state. where we are. now the two runners in the us presidential race desperately trying to outwit and outmaneuver one another to win the hearts and minds of americans. if you want to get out absolutely none of it why not i hate the republicans you know watch the democratic convention probably not

actually be dangerous this summer dozens of dead dolphins washed up on crimean shores ecologists say this is down to an infection and the actions of local poachers but others have connected these deaths to something more sinister divers recently discovered these barrels containing poisonous gas which were dumped in the sea by the retreating soviet army prior to the nazi invasion of one nine hundred forty one archives suggest one thousand two hundred containers are scattered around the crimean coast we have find and identifiable creations of around five hundred in twenty ten the integrity warranty of these bottles officially expired meaning that starting from two thousand and eleven these containers can start falling apart. if poisonous substances are released into the sea water the consequences could be unimaginable a breed gas can theoretically kill everything within forty kilometers however the state ecological watchdog firmly denies this threat even exists. are divers and
2:21 pm
specialists from the interior ministry check the bottom of the sea or the board tori's tested water for poisonous substances and we found nothing. but this recently declassified documents suggest the opposite in two thousand and four crimea's authorities urged private colleges to check the coastline for threats that is when those containers were found former m.p. oleksandr question is probably the only politician in ukraine who is making comments on the issue because she says the authorities are deliberately keeping the public in the dark and europe it would get that same intelli barrack rats who come in for a year or two now this and don't want this problems on their hands meanwhile more and more kids return to this virus infections from crimea's summer holidays and this is definitely caused by travel and politics state of the sea water cooler says lifting those containers from the bottom of the sea is impossible they will fall apart that's why experts suggest a different solution. there's
2:22 pm
a technology which allows us to see all these containers all for seven hundred years underground succumb for gases are constructed and put above the decaying barrels would solve the problem. it is hard to estimate how much this kind of operation would cost but as long as these barrels are a threat to every black sea country key of would most certainly get international aid should it appeal for help this year's tourist season has finished with no major incidents but some say that next year unless there's urgent political action the region may not be so lucky. alexi russia of ski r.t. reporting from crimea in ukraine. moscow celebrating the city day marking the anniversary of its eight hundred sixty fifth yeah and on our website you can join in on the festivities. i.
