the soyuz t.m.a. eighteen crew has undocked from the international space station it is on its way home i'm sean thomas at mission control and coming up we have all the details. on the brink of collapse the columnists and currency experts hold out little hope for the euro as they gather at a conference in berlin. brain drain reverses the american economy shrinks many indian immigrants in the u.s. heading knowing jump still missing innovation in their native country. and in our close up series we explore russia's biggest island in some come in with its unique wildlife and rich sits.

a very warm welcome. from moscow with me i said but a russian soyuz spacecraft with three crewmembers on board is nearing its you to land in around twenty minutes time and well the spacecraft left the international space station on its second attempt after a technical glitch on friday our correspondent sean thomas is following the flight's mission control. the stories to me eighteen crew got into their capsule this morning at six o two they were released from the international space station and it looks like they are on target for their landing this morning around nine twenty one in kazakhstan in fact it's been an interesting couple of days where the crews had to troubleshoot and problem solve in fact for the first time in history. was not able to release from the international space station and that's because the latches that

hold it to the craft to the space station did not release when the crew tried to make that happen during a test so what happened they had to reset the situation they decided to make sure that everything was safe and take an extra day to solve the problem and they were actually to bypass the relays which had failed to allow that mechanical mechanism to release this morning everything did happen everything is going according to plan and at this point in time mission control is gearing up people are showing up and you can see on the screens behind me that everything is set for a scheduled landing at nine twenty one this morning. in spring in. greece portugal and spain any drying theories that it was a seven hundred and fifty billion euro bailout package that maintain the shaky balance but many experts still believe what we've witnessed is the beginning of the end of the war and that reports from bad. in berlin this weekend a group of economists currency experts and former european central bankers the

gathering to discuss the fate of the euro their view it won't survive it won't collapse today it probably won't be tomorrow but one day in the not too distant future the sixteen country eurozone will fall apart according to those gathered in berlin this weekend and where better to hold a conference like this of all the economies in the eurozone germany has paid the heaviest price for the economic mismanagement of the countries that have come to be known as the pigs portugal italy ireland greece and spain forced to do some things to rescue those economies the e.u. and the i.m.f. set up a seven hundred fifty billion euro emergency fund one hundred ten billion euros has been lent to greece and there's some speculation in the press that the greeks are looking to delay repayment of that loan but the collapse of the euro looks less likely than it did three months ago eurozone economies are doing much better than expected germany has fewer unemployed people and in the second quarter of this year

it clucked tough it best course in the growth rates for twenty years but nigel farage of the u.k. independence party says more on the rest is coming the situation in portugal possibly worse than that in greece so i mean don't think that because we had a relatively quiet summer that these things have gone away plus between now and christmas the greeks have to roll over a huge amount of their own government debt this has not gone away the basic fundamental problem with these countries are not suited to being in the same monetary union hasn't gone away it will come back it'll be argued here this weekend that the whole idea of the euro is fundamentally flawed it's attempted to cobble together an economic union for political reasons the economies that unites in competitiveness have no shared labor markets and some haven't stopped to rules on fiscal policy. see that we're agreed on entry to the eurozone therefore according to some economists it's impossible to have

a common monetary policy but despite the last year's upset in the euro zone new and more diverse countries people enjoying weakening economic parity even further estonia is the newest recruit it will join in january what's the fate of the euro i'll be in berlin talking to economists and currency experts all day stay tuned to find out. want to know this sunday when we'll be running an interview with dr william hung kl he's one of the currency experts who filed a lawsuit in the german constitutional court against the greek bailout he says it breaks the basis of monetary union. if we force the. community behavior is completely forbidden for a very simple reason a country which can cause it to be bailed out not from financial and monetary.

treaty must be fulfilled. indians have for many years one of the largest immigrant groups in the u.s. with highly qualified technicians a program is boosting innovation but now a new migration is underway as hopes for a better living in greater job opportunities are driving many back home pressure of reforms. ten years ago saying would have never imagined that he'd be back in india going overseas for higher education was something that the guys who did well in the mix that was the first preference there weren't too many jobs in india. in the private sector and so i followed this trend lead saying to a ph d. a job at a prestigious. search institute and ultimately the skills to start his own company but living the american dream wasn't enough the attraction for it is only when

you're sort of doing news and you're sort of pushing the on the open whatever you're doing and that really is synonymous with go if you're looking to sort of. this is that a place to be and this place is bangalore india. the city of six million exports more than thirty billion dollars of i.t. products every year amidst the hustle and bustle of congested roads and street markets is the sober jazz mean a tranquil gated community tucked in the corner of india's silicon valley many immigrants who have left the united states and come back to india have settled in gated communities like this one the residents here say that almost seventy percent of the people who live here came from abroad but one thing they can all agree on is that you definitely get more bang for your buck here in india in singh's gated community residents can enjoy the olympic sized pool state of the art tennis courts

and a playground where there are just as many maids as children to supervise the kids while their parents exercise with the perks of india's affordability and the style and cleanliness they remember from the united states residents have designed their own dreamworld everybody's a more friendly in that sense it's more of. a close knit community i can pick up the phone in the middle of the night and call people for help so boards are you know positive as it's a far cry from the lives these immigrants were leading in america other data databases a lot of the things get taken care of the comes into the sweepings well being called into place. but it comes into the clothes so between four or five people who help us out it certainly makes a lot of those. certainly gives us a lot more time to spend. and while most cite india's growing economy as

a reason for moving back they won't discount the quality of life as a perk to just ask bhattacharya she worked as an i.t. professional in the u.s. in a double income house but now says her life is better than avar as an indian homemaker i see definitely. you know up to the standard of living in the sense that you have a house. affordability is much better. it's good the going is good here it's comfortable it's your own country. and while the crew at the silver jasmine are living it up they can't help but wonder if their presence in the united states is missed the united states has enough people to support it so it should have been on employment situation before the indians come back to while many americans may view immigrants as taking jobs the reality is that indian and chinese immigrants created fifteen percent of the jobs in places of power like silicon valley but now that entrepreneurial spirit is being brought back

to the place they started from the economy is definitely booming far more opportunities far more it is that they're going to work and the younger generation has a lot more things going on for them. this is good for them this is good for the country a country that gave them the wings to leave but ultimately the roots that drew them back preassure either our t. bangalore india. there was still to come. in between the russian mainland japan and the sun coming island is the island of minute on. french sea pharaoh discovered it is described as the right to settle in region. as we travel so one of the country's most prosperous regions in the fall rates. the united nations general assembly has seen another war of words between us underground with president mahmoud ahmadinejad saying he

believes america was behind the nine eleven terror attacks while the claims that it will buy u.s. and western nations into the wrath of barack obama. has moved from new york. well the us mainstream media has largely been focusing on barack obama building him up as the host the united states running the show it's still been mahmoud ahmadinejad really stealing the spotlight being the main leader in world headlines throughout these last couple of days he has really gotten himself a free one man reality t.v. show throughout this week in new york with his fiery speeches and countless protests surrounding his persona he has really been in the spotlight addressing the united nations general assembly debate in his speech he said that he believes that americans were behind the events of september eleventh and he actually said that he believes that most of the world knows this and this is something that got the u.s.

delegation outraged they left the assembly hall and surprisingly it took a little while for barack obama to react to these comments when he did a day later he said that their hateful many were thinking that maybe the rainy and president's words sort of calmed down a little bit but he spoke later at a press conference where he stuck to his opinion take a listen. what i raise is a very clear discussion and a precise one an event occurred in under the pretext of that event two countries were invaded enough until now hundreds of thousands of people have been killed as a result don't you think that that excuse needs to be revised don't you feel that if a fact finding mission was present from the start to explore the true reason behind september eleventh that we would not see the catastrophes in afghanistan and iraq why do you soon that all nations should accept what the u.s. government tells them it was reiterated that what the international community wants is dialogue and even though dr dennis scheib has been attacking the united states in several speeches made throughout this week the white house has also said that what it wants is dialogue to take place and the latest that we heard from the

reunion leader was that iran is actually prepared for conversation and that talks could come as soon as next month in october speaking at a media conference here in new york the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has said that several signals. been sent to iran and basically what the international community is looking for is that iran cooperate with the international atomic energy agency as well as sign up to several important nuclear nonproliferation agreements international agreements as well as prove its peaceful intentions so that the international community can believe that it really has nothing to worry about and speaking in an interview with popular t.v. host charlie rose russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said he believes that striking iran would be the worst possible outcome the worst possible scenario and really is not a way to deal with iran at this point take a listen if those threats which we hear from time to time from several quarters.

are materialized and if force is used against iran i believe this would be the shortest way to the ridiculous in the room prevailing and deciding that know that we will strike we must have nuclear weapons so striking iran in my view would be the shortest way to inducing graham's going nuclear military and this is a position similar to what mahmoud ahmadinejad has been seeing he said that if the united states tries to attack its uranium enrichment facilities it can expect a war but the latest that we heard is that mahmoud ahmadinejad has promised that talks should come soon and hopefully some sort of cooperation with the international community is to follow. server medicines and police officers that been killed in gun battles in the sample in a russian republic of dagestan want to suicide bombing targeting a police there injured at least twenty six people what officials say the officers

and this time the destination is the one in region in the far east of russia it's a long but narrow winding vacated between japan and russia especially in this one of the country's most prosperous regions boss union wildlife were the little things is what makes it a trudy and rising place salty's that if you get a chef keep went to explore. parties russia close up team is back and this time we're seven thousand kilometers from the russian capital moscow in the russian far east in the island of soccer league and this is the soccer in region one of the most prosperous in russia located around four hundred kilometers from the russian mainland and separated from the russian mainland by the talks are straight it is quite a big island one thousand kilometers from north to south and about three hundred

fifty kilometers from west to east it represents a new region a very rich in terms of biological resources now the island of suffering that's home to more than a thousand species of birds and animals as well as flowers and plants and more than a third of them are considered to be endangered and are placed in the so-called red book of endangered species but of course all this beauty has to be protected somehow and we did a report explaining what this protection is like in the far east of russia. risking life or limb special troops to send those speeding boat in the middle of the pacific. coast guard in the russian far east this is an almost daily routine. annual to a number of illegal fishing and mounts to millions of dollars. along with a team of officers we come on board

a fishing boat they check documents to see whether the versal had any right to fish here. this particular boat was legit but officer got a boost said this was an exception rather than the rule and xander told us of the biggest highlight of his three years of service here. we identified a vessel belonging to poachers we asked them to stop and find flares they didn't reply so after an hour we had to open fire after about twenty minutes they stopped probably being too scared of us shooting at them that was. one wild chase alexander came here from the other side of russia and despite nonstop action and hard work he enjoys his time here that is because he projects natural beauty from human harm the beauty which is visible from the very first glance. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the suckling island is the island of minute on named after french seafarer who discovered it it is described as the pride of the sakhalin

from europe the question is whether this distant land would ever be able to become a major tourist destination. the next year a show of ski odyssey reporting from the cycling region. and a space capsule with three crew members on board is about the catholics than the left the international space station on its second attempt to a technical glitch on find it will all correspond with that mission control and choice. looks like everything is going according to plan now. is certainly the case in fact right now we're awaiting the confirmation that the capsule has landed cording to all countdowns it should have actually landed at this point in time team of three airplanes six helicopters and twelve trucks on the ground are rushing to the capsule at this moment in time in fact we're getting word right now that we believe that the capsule where as they were landing or expecting that report right now as we speak it's been an intense process in fact yesterday

there were some glitches but today around six o two this morning the capsule dock from the international space station and then i have a nine o'clock interview atmosphere at which point it went through a period of about five minutes of the loss of signal and then the end of that around nine o seven it came out on the other side of parachutes deployed and it's been about thirteen minutes fall to the ground with of the parachute and we've been in contact we've had reports from the helicopters that they have seen the capsule that it was everything was nominal in fact the crew inside alexander swartz of the ankle and tracy caldwell dyson trying to say. everything was fine. i believe we've just got word everything is fine and that i have landed. talking didn't work so we'll find out for the first time ever so what exactly happened ted . well actually if you just heard the applause that we do now have from the

confirmation that everything is ok and that they are on the ground but yes on friday they actually tried to do this yesterday and the latches that touched. he saw his model to the international space station they would not release so the crew had to come up with a solution they actually had to bypass electronically the mechanism that had failed and they were able to get that to release but they decided to wait until today to make that second attempt to land and as we've just found out everything is going smoothly well glad to hear that everything is going to let him say that report of a close in the background behind you show it's almost reporting for us from mission control many things. well that is this is of the way now we saw that day go away. hungry for the full story we've gone to. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.

every month we give you the future we hope you understand how we'll get there and what. the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world. join us for technology update on r g. hello welcome to the business program with me. the construction of the north stream gas pipeline is progressing quickly the first phase due to be completed by next april international crew of more than four hundred specialists so working night and day length record speed and tell you how close went to see the. world's biggest by playing best seller has started working in the baltic sea only a month ago and already it's one week ahead of schedule having laid forty kilometers of the pipeline so far. three hundred metre long and sixty meter high

the vessel is a record holder in deep water pipe lake there are over a thousand kilometers ahead but she's progressing fast and my mental concerns were the main obstacle to the north stream pipeline and as an added complication the waters between russia and finland a full of mine lines left from the second world war but with saw as dynamic positioning system there's little to fear as the vessel can be maneuvered with pinpoint accuracy without having to use and because the technology has helped increase the speed of the operation and also maybe. every seven minutes the part goes down the vessel moves it's scheduled to lay two point three kilometers a day but we're already reaching two point five kilometers and we believe it's quite possible to reach three kilometers in fact to lay pipe in the sea is cheaper land where you have to deal with landowners and compensate them for the vessel has already hosted several dignitaries and its journey towards russia the main promoter

of the pipeline the russian prime minister was one of those to go aboard and watch the pipes as they made their way to the sea floor know what stream contract is akeem to support putin's plans to build more energy links between russia and europe and take on the work it would bring. elements of the shots fired we are already talking with people. who would. like to carry us. no matter who ultimately wins the battle for the optics and jewelry serves the owners of the soul is already betting the development of the region will happen to me that he'd fix started to build a new vessel which will be three times. given the mood be able to withstand the harsh conditions of the far norms. business sauti from the russian baltic. carmel's have a look at the markets and here in moscow both through the end of the week in the
