overlord shot in central moscow but manages to escape with his life. a new plan announced to revive the troubled u.s. economy and claims the country is recovering from the global crisis but despite new measures millions of unemployed americans still struggle to survive. looks at the vast oil and gas reserves of the. far east as we embark on another journey one cover the unique. eight am in moscow i'm mad trezeguet good to have you with us here on r t our top story the u.s. senate foreign relations committee has voted in favor of the nuclear arms reduction
12:04 am
treaty or start treaty signed with russia in april the deal now we needs the e.u. approval from the full senate that could eventually see the two countries reduce their warhead stockpiles by about a third or he's got a cheeky on reports america's in-house issues could still hinder plans for the ratification. the start treaty got the green light from the senate foreign affairs committee and is heading for the senate floor this treaty will make america more secure it will assist us in moving towards the goal of less nuclear threat and for that reason we're probably actually took today it's been a bumpy ride this five months of hearings and the resolution that the senators passed reflects that they put all their concerns in one package among them. the time between offensive and defensive weapons senators clarify the treaty in no way is an obstacle for the u.s. plans to deploy defense systems american officials see it the same way it commits us to continue to develop the ability to be able to protect our people and to have
12:05 am
a robust missile defense system but russians do take the time mentioned in the treaty quite seriously they see the new start as an agreement based on equality and balanced and if that balance is shifted or disturbed they say they can pull out but some in washington say there are hurdles related to the ratification are not so much about the details of the treaty but about republicans trying to make a point to the democrats one of the problems is good old fashioned red meat politics the republicans don't they just can't resist this opportunity to say well you know the democrats are weak on national security and that's one of the real barriers that the that the obama administration faces here i have no doubt whatsoever if we had a republican administration this this treaty would be already ratified the paradox is that the number of republicans who had testified for the treaty outnumbers
12:06 am
democrats on top of that the u.s. military officials are unanimous in their support of the deal something that many experts are pointing out here senators ten express their concerns but they can't really change the trading they can either ratified or not and. judging by what senators were saying this thursday they surely will the question is when i'm going to check out our reporting from washington d.c. . ivan eland director of the center for peace and liberty at the independent institute in washington says the arguments brought up against the start treaty carry very little weight it's not the warhead so much because it is only a thirty percent reduction but i think it's the fact that the process is moving forward in there will be another round which is deeper and also i think it helps the overall relationship between the two countries but there have been other arguments made that the nuclear weapons. labs will go into remission that the treaty somehow precludes missile defense which it really doesn't
12:07 am
and it won't and impede u.s. missile defense efforts anyway i think those are the two main domestic arguments here and i don't think they really have much water i think it's mainly a political thing don't bring them up for a vote unless they have the votes to pass and. the ratification of the start treaty is a way to modernize and improve nuclear defense according to gary hart former u.s. senator and member of the commission on u.s. policy towards russia. it's a large step it will get rid of dangerous unnecessary nuclear weapons on both sides at the end of the day there will be a vote on the treaty people will have to vote for it or against it and those who vote against it are going to have to justify why they voted against it and why it makes us more secure not to have a treaty then if we have the treaty if you replace. warheads or delivery
12:08 am
systems that are old and increasingly unstable with a newer generation more secure technology you are actually improving security rather than in danger yet so a limited argument can be made for modernization of nuclear arsenals certainly not expansion of them if we are serious about hermetic reductions in these nuclear arsenals then we widen the club and bring in all the nuclear powers and say enough we're all we're going to get rid of all these it does seem like. kind of ideal dream but it is a goal to reach for. this sunday you can watch the full interview with gary hart former u.s. senator and co-chair of the commission on u.s. policy towards russia. a suspected russian criminal mastermind has survived an

a report on what are the energy sources the situation is like in the cycling and we can watch this report right now just like most women scientists not likes to receive flowers but this time the red carnations serves as a victim of an experiment. she puts the flour into a liquefied gas where it immediately freezes. and with a loud crack not dahlia breaks it onto our cameras lens thus she demonstrates what liquid gas the phonology is all about that. when an object like this balloon is put into liquid gas of cryogenic temperatures it massively decreases in volume in fact it becomes six hundred times smaller but after a short while when put back into normal temperatures it's volume increases again this property of natural gas allows much better transportation six hundred times more gas than a normal storage. the cycling energy project is the first liquid natural gas
