thousand barrels which have got into the water three thousand of them contain chemical substances including acids which may be harmful to the environment and there have been reports that some of these barrels have leaked these chemicals into the water and the old we also be en route towards the also been reports that some of the barrels may have sunk into the water and that creates a potential future of threat to the environment and also makes it much more difficult to extract them to surface and since the river is a major source of fresh water in the city. and in russia's far east in general many locals here are very concerned about the situation. they say they're trying to intercept them but i still think some will eventually end up here some say they're leaking and the chemicals will come anyway. but it's not the first time we've had problems like this in the winter there was

a big cannick spill and we had to use what's a filter is china has to find a way to prevent the steam's we won't be able to drink the sort so it'll of course . the authorities in russia are very concerned about this situation as well and the russian cause and embassy are cooperating with authorities in china nevertheless the officials. are already planning ways to distribute fresh water to the local population in case of contamination does occur but thankfully so for the emergencies ministry which is monitoring the quality of the water by taking samples at least twice a day they see that so far they haven't found any abnormalities. that was a corpuscle for forty they're still have here an hour to a milestone for the ice ask find out how the docking a russian module of the international space station ten years ago made work aboard the largest construction in orbit possible. this is a baby box if a mother wanted to meet but show all should have to do would be to pull on this

talk about that i'm a journalist and i think freedom you get the people need to know what's happening and i think it's great is there anything that the public shouldn't know. i don't want sordid details of politicians i don't think we need to know that but information that's in the same public domain just such as should know everything is there any information that should never be published by a watchdog oh yeah i mean if they're saying which is going to endanger troops or something which is really going to hurt us or hurt the people who are really trying to the right thing in afghanistan it should absolutely not be shared so out of ninety one thousand reports it is possible i'm sure there's a bunch in there that's bad stuff i believe that you know america should know a lot of things but also america should be kept in the dark about other things and they compared to the pentagon papers this was released without a lot of. time explaining what it all means it's just a lot of information without a lot of explanation and that leads to you know anyone could take it and use it how

they want to use it should they have done it and no but is the i'm a she should the information been classified in the first place that's another question i mean some of that information is pretty basic is it really a serious risk to national security and the fact that the information is published it doesn't look like it but it's not a good idea to be leaking classified information whether or not you think this kind of government information should be released to the public the bottom line is that now it's out there for the whole world to access so let's just hope it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. it's ten years since the international space station first became habitable when a russian module was the life support systems docked was your bitter event revolutionized their research which could be carried out on the isis are to sean thomas reports. it circles the globe about three hundred fifty kilometers from the earth's surface it is the largest construction in space it is

a marvel of modern engineering which is approaching a crucial milestone moment the i.s.a.'s is a major contemporary space project it involves a big number of program participants including the united states canada european countries and japan and the station is being used as a big scientific laboratory though it is a prime example of international cooperation now the roots of the station stem from the apollo soyuz program thirty five years ago when two rival space programs of the u.s. and soviet union integrated technology for the first time twenty years later russia and the u.s. expanded on that shared experience with the goal of creating a permanent space presence. we work hard and ride similar news operation of both the mir orbital station and preparation for the launch i remember those years the most interesting period of strenuous work which finally did to this great result this is the mark up of the capsule which is where astronauts and cosmonauts come to

train at star city who are traveling to the international space station and it is in here that you get a sense of the significance of this capsule in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight the zarya and the unity capsules world watch but it wasn't until ten years ago when there's various the capsule was attached that the space station became livable. but made it possible for the crew to stay in both the station would be impossible to build the station at the pace it was constructed that without the special part of the infrastructure was now in place it was up to the station's first crew to get everything in motion you're with the first two weeks were critical since a lot of the systems were being activated for the first time some russian system segments were merged with us systems those machines had never seen each other in earth and that was the. they would work together. ten years on the i.s.o.'s is approaching the record for

a structure being continuously inhabited in space and on are currently held by russia's mir project and while it was originally only supposed to be in service until two thousand and fifteen it looks like a bright future for the international space station which i think a part of my assessment was decided to prolong the station's use until twenty twenty and possibly even longer if the technical state of the station is good ensuring a continued international presence in space for many more years to come john thomas r.t. moscow has a breakthrough there by the later today we take you to the world of another theater closer to home three days joint technology update on the set of russia's first comedy filmed fully in this format. coming into the future. he escaped from the cinema and landed in your living. specimens is. your stereo display a life filled glass is no problem. three d.
