Smog Shock: Moscow chokes from forest fires in melting heat

Russia's emergencies teams are bracing themselves for worse to come, as forest and peat fires continue to hold their grip in many parts of the country. What makes firefighters so worried is that the relentless heatwave is keeping the landscape tinder-dry. And the scorching temperatures are set to top forty celcius in the next few days. RT's Ivor Bennett in the south of the Moscow region.

There is so many people who tells something like "Russia is getting what it deserves"..But this country, people of this country at firstly suffer of what our government doing and what did it in past. Apparently, you don't know history, how much Russians was died cause of governors. I hope you'll understand my beginning English.. Fight with your prejudices and we'll try to fight with Putin and Medvedev, but i make doubt that it can be truth.. What citizen is able to say in Russia? Nothing.

У тебя заклинило кнопки!?

Poetic Justice. As a Ukrainian I say that Russia is getting what it deserves. Payback for tsarist and soviet terror, imperialism and genocide

@qeti777 you have no idea how to live in Russia. Russia did not attack Georgia. By the way, Georgia is not a U.S. state, this state next to Russia, which wanted to subjugate the North Ossetia region of Russia. You have no right to judge our country that have never been !!!!!
