open history of. an alarm went off aboard the spacecraft saying that the airlock isn't properly secured and the vehicle isn't isolated from the vacuum of space after a thorough inspection it turned out this was a false alarm and this is no ordinary jammed lock this journey home takes intense preparation. they haven't slept for a day preparing for the landing checking the spacecraft costumes and testing the air tightness and now they have to go through that all over again which means another day of no wrist it's very tough but they're well trained with safety is the watchword here mission control center needs to be one hundred percent certain before giving the next green light we could have proceeded with the undocking and landing today but we decided to do it tomorrow just to be sure there is nothing wrong with either the station or the landing module. now the problem is solved nothing should stop same spacecraft from successfully detaching his plans in case

of emergency in case the spacecraft fails to undock again there's always a back up model that they came here to five back to earth and there's always plan c. as then by say you spacecraft that's ready to take go for the isis and bring the stranded crew safely back to earth not only the kind of moscow region. elite anti terror kill teams run by america's intelligence agency have now taken the u.s. led war beyond afghanistan well those are the claims in a new book called obama's wars by veteran journalist bob woodward he reveals that a secret army of three thousand afghan fighters sent to hunt al qaeda and the taliban have now infiltrated pakistan a sheaf of think tank a project for pakistan of the twenty first century says these death squads may become a major source of problems for afghanistan and its neighbors. but the united states continues to rely on warlords in afghanistan when when i heard about the this

mercenary force of three thousand well trained of guns i still there's one part of the story that is still missing and that is where these three thousand of gone volunteers for this mercenary army came from and i have no doubt about the answer to this question and that is they came and they were recommended by some of the warlords of course as you know there is a there's a problem of loyalty and enough to understand you cannot recruit people without knowing exactly where they're coming from so most of this three thousand force must have come recommended from some of the warlords and these warlords are really milking the u.s. government and the u.s. military they're making a lot of money and of course we all know the story of what happened in toto back in november and in december two thousand and one when it was some of bin laden actually escaped from tora bora thanks actually to the very allies of the u.s. military be of gone warlord to some of them according to reports took money and let many almost one thousand al qaeda fighters really escape so you really these are

really shifting loyalties and these three thousand fighters must have come from somewhere and they must have loyalties to some warlords inside of god is done and this confirms actually that we will have problems about these militias and these mercenaries getting out of control at some point in the future. for artie's close of team on a journey that explores the ethnic diversity of the subaltern in russia's far. more middle east peace cutting nuclear weapons and the un's own make over should have been the highlights of thursday's general assembly session but the iranian president again a stole the show and that's the spite sending key v.i.p.'s of the audience marching for the exits let's now get more from mark and that's the spiritual cannot who's in new york hi there well i suppose it was no shot that the iranian president would deliver a highly charged speech but it's just the content as it were that was a surprise wasn't it. doesn't you're absolutely right obviously president

mahmoud ahmadinejad has earned himself a reputation over these last couple of years and is known to traditionally come up with theatricals when he addresses the united nations general assembly but yesterday's speech was in fact a surprise this was the first time that the really and president mentioned the events of september eleventh and the underlining message that he sent to the international community was something that sent the u.s. delegation out of the assembly hall take a listen yet. there were three viewpoints first that a very powerful and complex terrorist group able to successfully cross all the years of the american intelligence and security carried out the attack this is a prevalent viewpoint which has been supported i mean we are the created by american statesman second that some segments within the u.s. government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining american economy and its grips in the middle east in order to save the zionist regime the majority of the american people as well as most nations and politicians around the world agree

with this view. well mahmoud ahmadinejad also took time to extensively criticize dominating missions he talked a lot about the history of certain world powers dominating others other nations and of course in these last couple of days mahmoud ahmadinejad has really been a one man reality t.v. show he's been in new york for several days he has said he has had several media appearances and has really been sending out mixed messages to the to the international community while the international community has been trying to say that we're ready for dialogue we want dialogue to resume again and of course here in new york yesterday thursday one mahmoud ahmadinejad was giving his speech one of the biggest protests took place we saw buses of people arriving with signs saying mahmoud ahmadinejad is a terrorist a tyrant and so on there was a. cartoonish figure of ahmadinejad right outside the united nations and people

were really getting worked up criticizing the u.n. and the iranian human rights situation as well as it's controversial you read him in richmond program barack obama of course who was also addressing the u.n. general assembly on thursday obviously brought up the issue of iran he said that the united states is still expecting that dialogue could resume and hoping that iran would just start negotiating directly again and not sending out different messages but the u.s. says it still wants iran to prove that its intentions are peaceful many countries including the u.s. and russia continue to call for iran to engage in dialogue over its nuclear program now is that falling on deaf ears. well it's you know it's a difficult question to answer at this point for several several different reasons first of all yes we do have the international community calling out to iran yesterday russian minister russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said what the international community wants iran to do is start cooperating with the

international atomic energy agency sign up to the important international nonproliferation treaties as well as really get rid of all suspicions and really prove that it's open and it has nothing to hide take a listen to what the russian foreign minister said about iran. we can count on the fact that this signal was heard we see signs proving that to ron is seriously reviewing the current situation and studying the propositions which were given to worry iranians colleagues the foreign ministers of russia the us china france germany the you kerry held a meeting where the i mean big u.s. lee confirmed that our emails to start negotiations we expect that soon we will hear from iran that they were ready to begin this process. well even though these calls from the international community came repeatedly asking iran to join the dialogue again we have definitely been seeing very mixed messages from the

iranian leader over the last couple of days starting from the. speech at the united nations general assembly to sending out messages and giving contradicting statements he said that if the united states continues attacking iran if the united states attacks iran's you really do you really impact the facilities that a war would take off then she was saying that yes iran is ready for dialogue but iran is not happy with the format of the dialogue being suggested and then she would say that iran has been ready for dialogue this entire time so we're going to have to wait and see if real dialogue takes place any time soon all right thank you for that there was a nice to see a chicken of reporting from new york. now with this week's arctic forum in moscow looking at its projected mineral wealth the polar icecaps never been hotter later artie's call saga zones in on whether the international scrabble for a slice of the profits can be done without ecologically costing the earth. the

energy which is drilling off the coast of greenland at the moment. you know all the vessels available there if something goes wrong that they were able to call on in the gulf of mexico greenpeace is more than happy to point out or oil breaks up much more slowly the arctic area than it would in the gulf large well if you want to jump in here i want to really jump in and say that there is. also the one that we people will explore in the future but to be childish is of course that we should you actually try to take it out i think they will be. the first to you start to explore then it's too late if you fight because then they're going to be probably goes into greed as you say. there's more from peter lavelle and his expert panel in just over an hour's time here on r.t. . now the u.n.

nuclear watchdog has literally rejected a resolution proposed by arab nations which calls an easy to open up about its nuclear activities now they urged argue that israel's widely assumed atomic arsenal is a threat to regional security while the u.s. voiced concerns that the draft proposal could jeopardize middle east peace talks now to discuss this we are joined by the city really a former assistant to egypt's foreign minister thank you very much for joining us now could you just tell us why hasn't this resolution been passed. well i guess the united states of america and the western powers have always ejected any move on the part of the arab countries to call on israel to join the nonproliferation the n.p.t. the n.p.t. so the position taken by the american delegation in vienna that's not as a surprise for us but i guess the other countries do insist that. that is

a must join the n.p.t. . because we are we call for the nation of the middle of the middle east furthermore we don't understand the insistence of the americans and western powers on the iranian nuclear issue. without dealing with the nuclear arsenal of israel the country is against the this policy of double standards when it comes to nuclear weapons in the middle east we hope in the future the americans and the west would change their position as as as far as the american argument is concerned which says that. calling on israel to join the n.p.t. would harm the peace process i guess this this this and this argument does not hold

water that we and the arab world we believe that if israel would join the n.p.t. that would be proof that israel is the sincere in reaching peaceful peaceful settlement and living in peace and security with the arab countries a lot last year with the same proposal was passed at the i.a.e.a. why hasn't it put pressure on israel to join the nonproliferation treaty. would you would you be kind enough to carry the question madam all right last year the same resolution was passed now why hasn't it put pressure hasn't put pressure on israel to join the n.p.t. . well frankly personally speaking i expect for the foreseeable future that the nuclear agency in vienna. exert pressure. to join the n.p.t.

. but we hope we hope that in the years to come the the. last of the western powers would adopt a more more forthcoming. attitude forthcoming position as far as the nuclear capabilities. are concerned all right now and i doubt very. well you said that you don't think that they will put pressure but could such pressure on israel put the middle east peace talks under threat. no i. guess the. i guess as far as the negotiations going on between the palestinians and this is the day. to day i don't see any direct relationship between the question of the israeli nuclear arsenal and the negotiations but if we discuss the larger. the larger. peace process in the middle east.

from. the view. i think that that linkages between these two issues the two issues because if we we we want to establish a comprehensive peaceful settlement in the middle east and if one one power would have would possess nuclear new. there are moments and the others says these kinds of arms i guess security in the region would be under threats so this is the linkage that i see between the two issues money or will do you think that israel will ever admit to having a nuclear weapon capability. well the there is that leaders have seen that they you want a thing that is the investor national interest to. be ambiguous as far

as. their perception of looking or not but of course the whole world the whole world knows that israel has nuclear weapons and we don't see any need for these weapons in the middle east in the middle east and of course we will never reach a comprehensive peace with that settlement as as long as israel hasn't joined the n.p.t. and hasn't accepted the the vision the protocols of the of the n.p.t. all right thank you very much for your comments that was hussein who really a former assistant to egypt's foreign minister. well our website has plenty more for you to explore and here's a taste of what people are watching right now what our t.v. dot com a u.n. probe has concluded that israeli commandos committed a willful killing and torture when they boarded

a gaza bound aid flotilla in may. and the unemployed of muscovites says he's the victim of a three million dollar theft police are on the case to find out how the money was lifted from a safe deposit box for more just head to our tea dot com. and on the way our close of team takes another road trip to bring you the very best of russia. and this time we're heading seven thousand kilometers from moscow to the country's far east russia's biggest island somehow in is also one of the country's most prosperous regions located not far from japan it was the scene of territorial struggle between moscow and. in the early twentieth century now in the late one nine hundred thirty s. salim became home to thousands of koreans sent there by japan as cheap labor and he

spoke to members of that teeny community who still call the i want their home. artie's close up team continues its inside in the circle in region in the russian far east and this time we'll talk about what this region is like in terms of its social structure now this region has more than half a million residents predominantly russian more than eighty four percent of the people living in the cycling island and everywhere around the region are ethnic russians also we have less than six percent of ethnic koreans the diaspora which was sent here by japan at the time when this this island was occupied by the land of the rising sun and the korean diaspora in the sakhalin is the largest of all russia we know that all of us half a million koreans living in every way across russian mainland but their biggest chunk of this diaspora is living in here in the stockholm region and we did a report with inside on the tragic story of these labor migrants in this part of

russia let's have a look at this report right now. korean team there prefers to be called judge a court russian style this nineteen year old man worked in saddam's school mines for more than four decades under two different political regimes he still remembers the night his life changed completely nor you are not japanese soldiers came to our village in korea in one thousand nine hundred three and dragged me and some of my family out of our house they said they were taking us to sakhalin to work in a mine and promised we would only be there for two years because you can see i'm still here. you came lives in a small mining village in eastern sakhalin home to several hundred people who share his story koreans were sent to cycling by japan as forced labor migrants to work in coal mines thus they supply talk with the resources needed for the war. the

japanese occupation ended more than six decades ago and most of the coal mines are no longer operational but the koreans are still here. just under a thousand koreans were sent to cycling by talk while their country was on the japanese rule. now there are almost fifty times as many living on the island and if the third generation has adapted to life here some of the older people who see themselves as forced migrants still dream of going back given their holiday gatherings turn into political rallies i think we demand historic justice. this organization deals with we've got three ation and has helped more than fifteen hundred koreans return home over the past twenty years its president says this number would be higher if talkee or provided help. because. as

we believe japan is guilty of causing the situation in the first place since nine hundred eighty five we've heard tokyo apologize twice you know but it hasn't gone anywhere from there there's been no action that's why we rely on our own resources and help from russia and south korea. moskos stance is to assist the report's relation of the cycling koreans and local authorities say they try to do just that but the number of people wanting to leave is diminishing every year but it is going to go with it but will fully cooperate with local green organizations on the pattern but ethnic koreans are getting more and more into south and in life they held positions an administration there is successful in regional business and they get a good education that's why some even come back after a patch ration to korea. says he'd happily return to korea but all of his family are here so like many within the diaspora he sees no point in leaving his home even if this was not the home he chose. stuart see reporting from the

cycling region. well one invention that's undoubtedly made the world smaller is television later martin andrews looks back at the days before our high definition high five flat screens to watch soviet life as seen on t.v. . the first television broadcast in russia was in one nine hundred thirty one by the martin fifty's people in the u.s.s.r. could watch three television channels the receiver like this one here. all joined martin in about ten minutes time here on our t.v. but first we turn to now with the live business update and charlotte good news in the world of mergers and acquisitions hello yes i'm going to activity has gone up for the third quarter in a row which the best results in two years well more on that in just
