this is home to andrei lugovoi and dmitry kovtun.ted by both scotland yard and interpol, suspected of killing litvinenko. around the world, they were villains in a tale of international intrigue and murder. yet here in russia, we found plenty of people who thought if the two did kill litvinenko, he probably had it come in coming. >> thank you very much for talking to us. >> in the duma, russia's parliament, the pugnacious leader of the ultra nationalist party has nothing but disdain for litvinenko. >> who needs this little petty person? he was just a piece of rubbish. >> vladimir zhirinovsky told us that here in russia, litvinenko made plenty of enemies. going back years. back in the 1990s, russia was in chaos after the collapse of the soviet union. it was a time when enormous fortunes were created and outrageous crimes committed, sometimes by the very people sent to investigate them. back then, alexander litvinenko was a young fsb agent who claimed to be disturbed by what he saw. >> litvinenko specialized in organized crime investig

the past 3 months, the fires have left nearby cities blanketed in choking smoke or corresponding dmitri polk reports from the front line where some 3 fellows and people are bustling nature's fury. just arrived at the campsite were supposed to be saying, but apparently we might actually have to evacuate right now because the fire is already near the camp. the firefighters are trying to balance right now. but as you can see behind me, its spreading really fast, like that tree just caught on fire and like less than a minute. with the fire spreading really quickly to wind and still really dry. there's still been no rain. and the, the reason for a while for over a month me the listing, if it were really nice people here now the fires cover a very large area. it's hard to keep the track. it's almost impossible. i don't know how we can manage that whole water with a hand pump. but this, by being very primitive, is one of the most effective things they have. right now we're going through a fire that we are still battling. it's taking a while. it's been way recent hours since we got here. we're

reeking and more destruction havoc in eastern russia. poking cities and dense most correspondent dmitri house, in the office and with a fire fighting unit, brings out the 1st time the account in order to fully finger them. you would need to because they're not just running on the surface. they're burning underground. ah, loving up your top stories around the. this is off you to national live for moscow with me real research shape, a very woman in anti vaccination protesters in london have tried to storm the offices of the b, b. c. a police stood in the way pushing back to the crowd. the demonstrators are furious. about government plans to start injecting teenagers, something it says it's necessary in the face of the new delta strain shot here it was dashed reports from luck. well, facts in protest is all on a mission to david taking the streets of london going from one media outlet to another. today, the doctor tried to go to b, b. c. they were met with about police officers and even tried to push out of the entrance days protest really started early in the nearby pause. i hadn't got th

all right, let's get some analysis with dmitri stefan, which joins me now from moscow by stripe dimitris. define of, it's welcome to counting the cost. so 1st up, the, the technical challenge with hypersonic weapons is enormous, isn't it? how's russia managed to get ahead of the game here? in russian case we have invested a lot or even during the harshest year, so the 90 to thousands in the strategic weapons. and now it's paid off, while in other countries probably there were not the investments were not as stable as rush in case. and now the important factor is that the, well, we must understand that hypersonic weapons are not but new actual research should date, decades ago. so probably now what we get, what we've got during the last decades last year says that we actually achieve the reliable systems due to materials due to the hardened electronics you to communication. so things like that. why is russia developing this technology? the reason for rapid investments in the of in the vase in sick is actually us withdrawal from the abm treaty to the limit of missile defenses and hyper son

dmitri, great to have you on the show, especially on a day like this. in just the last phi days -- five days, the u.s. state department, t-mobile, polynetwork have all revealed they've been hit by hackers. what must these ceos and the biden administration accomplish starting today? >> well, liz, the problem is so much worse, and it's actually getting worse. not just these companies that you mentioned, but we had four hospital systems hit by ransomware just last week alone, and they were turning away ambulances. criminals, likely from russia, were shutting them down and demanding millions of dollars in ransom. and is with all due respect to tim cook and andy jassy, the fortune 50 company, they're doing really well. they're investing tens of millions of dollars into cybersecurity. you rarely hear about them getting hacked. it's the small and medium businesses around this country, the law firms, the engineering organizations, schools, police departments. these are the people that are getting hit, and they don't have the resources to protect themselves. liz

dmitry had helped build the barricades outside parliament.he coup failed. i felt a great hope for a great new russia, democratic russia. where everyone has the right to influence all the things going on but now i feel that my hope failed. the country is deteriorating, human rights deteriorating. the soviet union is an autonomy. at the time the collapse of the coup was hailed as a victory of people power but in the years that followed, democracy failed to root itself in russia. that is partly because life became so tough here that in the eyes of many russians, the very concept of democracy became discredited. but it is also because for those running russia today, authoritarian rule is back in fashion. this year, the authorities cracked down hard on anti—government protests. and there have been police raids on government critics. so, where does that leave democracy? for many here a distant memory. this monument honours the three men killed in the 1991 coup. there are few visitors. there seems to be little interest in moment in history when russ

here's dmitri polk, florida. polk county sheriff's office has just released a list of 17 people who have recently been arrested for attempting to seduce under age girls and boys online. 3 of the suspects turned out to be employees at walt disney world. 2 of them were a couple of custodians looking to find an under aged girl for a role playing 3. some are fantasy is to play step dad. step daughter, step mom, teacher, student ah, maybe even shoplifter where we do a strip search. the other disney employee worked as a lifeguard at one of the resorts he left his girlfriend who was 7 months pregnant with his child. in order to go have sex with a child. r t is reached out to disney for comments on these russ, but so far there's been no answer. the whole bus was a result of the so called operation child protector, a 6 days thing, that's our agencies across florida, join forces and implement under cover detectives pretending to be teenagers. to else would be child sex. offenders of the other suspects. one turned out to be a registered nurse and another married man who had traveled to florida for

i'll say who play dmitri pie? yeah, it's even had a bottle thrown at him. match was abandoned with 15 minutes to go. the drove all the groups the age of the champions league takes place late, and mo, devon club sharif tid spoke, we'll be making their debut. the 1st thing from over to make it the saw in the competition of the, the thing freedom, a czar grid. 3 know, on aggregate on wednesday, it throws up the possibility of some of the biggest stars and will football likely . and they'll may feel grossly on rinaldo playing as shit, if 12000 feet the stadium in the countries capital. the former captain of the african women's football team has told al jazeera they still work to do, to safeguard athletes that remain in the country. carlita popo has been working with human rights activists, lawyers, activists, as well as the football players union fee for to secure the evacuation of a former teammates around $75.00 plays. and some of the family members were flowing out of couple on tuesday, the past few days we have be

even on basics, like math guidelines are cheese dmitri park comments science statistics. apparently none of those things really matter when dealing with cove it because the whole thing seems to have become more about politics than anything else. take florida just recently reported a record breaking 21000 new daily cases. the state literally accounts for about a 5th of all new cases in the us, but nevertheless florida governor rhonda sanders continues to refuse, imposing restrictions to prevent the spread of the disease. in florida, there will be no look downs. there will be no school closures. there will be no restrictions and no mandates, no mask mandates, no vaccine requirements. many fear the whole thing might become a repeat of last year's cold crisis in new york. back then that liberal states delayed response, which led to numerous death was blamed on political resistance to then president donald trump. but with democrat, joe biden, now in charge and calling the shots. it seems that florida's republican governor is just doing the exact same thing and regular people f

whether this message is something people in that part of the world really want to hear as ortiz, dmitri polk explains, america is back in vietnam, not exactly the bus wording to use considering its appalling legacy of carpet bombing the country in the sixties and seventies, but vice president, kamala harris's 1st ever plan visit to vietnam, is claimed to have a noble aim. keep in mind, the biden harris's administration, main message to the world, is not supposed to make you cringe. but really though, can you help it? at least that was the reaction on line vietnam, the nation we destroyed and who is still dealing with the aftermath of our last visit there. kamala is an imperialist, saying, americans back in vietnam can juris images of b, 50 twos, dropping d to t bombs on villages. do you think if camera was off, how many vietnamese civilian and soldier deaths america was responsible for over 25 year period? that i guess would be even with an a 1000000 of the actual numbers. i mean, seriously, america is back that the wording the u. s. went with when visiting a country, it ravaged with a

all right, across this forest is corresponding dmitri pokes who have a lot to try and get a handle on here. any further clarity? well, not really. it's still unclear why does stay when it was even made. it seems like the ukrainian foreign ministry is kind of arguing with itself. but as you said earlier today, the deputy foreign minister came out with a state and saying that their flights to their creation, flights from against and to ukraine were unsuccessful. but more than that, he claimed that one of the plains was actually hijacked by armed persons and then later was practically stolen and flown soran. last sunday, our plan was hijacked on tuesday, the plane was practically stolen from us. again, it flew to run with an, an identified group of passengers on board instead of lifting ukrainians. our next 3 evacuation attempts were also not successful because our people could not get into the airport. now the kind of the statement that started all this confusion, it was extremely technical. it's extremely on specific. what kind of plane is it a military plane? is that a passenger plane

and dmitri pans joined a group of verbal and firefighters in the region as they seated tribes to force it to rain. so we are now at the you could concern national airport where we're going to watch the launch of the airplane and $26.00. the news. what this plane does is it goes up into the clouds as long as there are clouds and shoot these projects out for chemicals that turn these regular cloud into precipitation clouds. because as a reminder, this year has been one of the dryers in this regions history. the last time the precipitation where this low was back in 1888. right now we're going to go talk to the airplane pilots. the engineers who will probably explain more detail how this plane works. the running flight to where the fires are and on command by so iodide into the clouds. depending on the clouds, we have to go around and sometimes we shoot canisters to the right hand side. sometimes the left, but we are trying to fill the clouds silver iodide, which hopefully causes them to rain. so these are the actual cartridges that are going to be fired into the cloud to once again make

i took for former health ministers to talk with mister dmitri, of assigned to the former president of the visa and governors of the p t party. what are you to prepare your to go, but including one from the northeast region of the unit. they are all fighting to get vaccines and have orders, at least for a transfer. we met these good. we found the seems to be a problem with production and distribution with the coffee and also with its acceptance here in brazil, yuki, all of you already, any people are suspicious that former president trump recommended pro, and there is documentary evidence of it. he put a president bell scenario does not purchase the russian vaccine off in the same way that he heavily criticized chinese vaccine. finishing the over if the brazilian president was really committed to the people of his country to the he would have spoken to president. paula would have set up a bilateral committee with russian and brazilian experts get our phone and we would have solved the vaccination problem. a long time ago, when we go over the president does not take any measures. and th

assume that you were regarding it as a positive is because your colleague, your ambassador in kabul, dmitry zhirnov, he said, "the mood in kabul can be described "as one of cautious hope. there was a bad regime "which disappeared. people are now hopeful. "they say it cannot be worse, so it should be better." my colleague, ambassador in afghanistan, has said that these initial hours after taliban has entered kabul, he saw that embassy is safe, that there is order on the roads, but we are still watching what's going to happen. and we have lots of concerns about spill over of terrorists on the territories of neighbouring states in the first place. moscow did for a long time designate the taliban as a terrorist organisation. has that changed ? no. exactly. it is 2003 we designated taliban as a terrorist organisation, which is banned in the territory of the soviet union. and there are lots of reasons for that, because taliban at that time, they were preparing terrorists on their soil and sending them to chechnya. they were supplying chechen rebels and militants with weapons, with money and all o

and it's heavy, exhausting work is our team. dmitri polk discovered when he joined one helicopter cru heading to the front line. so i'm about to take my 1st helicopter right before a better reason. we're going to take a look over the fires of the region, just north of the capital. of course, we're going to see how bad situation is because right now the fires are threatening several villages. we will see just how about it is and deliver supplies to the people on the ground fighting it and well take off. this isn't scary at all. on the way to the village of the views were stunning, but the closer we got to the village day became somewhat terrifying. first, it's clear skies in an endless horizon. and just moments later, it's a wall of smoke. soon as we land, we see a whole bunch of heavy machinery. mister defense has a lot of military equipment, vehicles, and trucks and everything to this region because it's the most under threat right now from the flyers. armored personnel carriers, a couple of heavy duty diggers and several trucks. their purpose to create a mineralized zone there which
