long. from space to earth of the stories team a seven team excuse me crew is at the back home and they're happy to be here we got all the details coming up. on the brink of collapse the column is the currency experts hold out little hope for the year i was they gathered at a conference in berlin. brain drain reversed as the american economy shrinks many indian immigrants in the u.s. are heading home jump start losing innovation in the native country. and in our closed up series we explore russia's biggest island something lived with its unique wildlife and rich natural resources it's.

a very warm welcome this is the line from moscow with me alice tippett to call spittles on to give us astronauts who safely landed back on earth. their stories spacecraft on from the international space station on its second attempt after a technical glitch on friday while our correspondent so we told them about the troll and joins us now live now you see pictures of the smiling faces of the crees so i guess that means that is a good sign everything i went to plan this time. well is that is certainly the case in fact of the faces of the smiling crew were welcomed by the family members who were here at mission control and it was very exciting and just a good vibration to have to watch their faces as they saw their loved ones exit the capsule everything went according to plan and today in fact around six

o two this morning with the capsule on dock from the international space station. crew. then basically started their descent to earth at eight thirty they made their deorbit burn which meant firing the engines that point of them down toward the earth which started their pretty tumultuous descent and what i mean by that is that around nine o'clock in the morning they entered the earth's atmosphere very fiery environment in fact no two we lost a signal which is expected it's called an l a west but there's a five minute period of time where you have no idea what is happening with the crew you can only guess that everything is normal based on their last communication before entering that that system and then around at nine o seven or they came back into the earth's atmosphere deploy their parachutes were spotted by the helicopters and everything was fine and we've been able to see them getting out of the capsules having their first bites traditionally they've had the bite of an apple as their first a sustenance back on land except one of them in fact. actually decided to eat

a cucumber instead but smiling faces the families happy and at this point in time we're awaiting them to get back to star city in moscow region at about seven hours time you talk about the celebrate to react with a mission. that must be a huge relief. that now safely back to find a docking. that's true in fact when the actual capsule landed there was a big round of applause here which you may have heard earlier but the reason for this is because there was some tense moments yesterday or were some tense moments yesterday in fact the capsule would not release from the international space station that was due to a malfunction in the latches and so what had to happen is the crew had to figure out a way and they found in the electrical drive past so that they could actually release the capsule they figured that out yesterday but decided to wait an extra day to make sure that they have the correct time in the trajectory because there's only

a certain window of an opportunity for them to be able to make that reentry and land in the correct position so they decided to take that second attempt today. and of course drives of this point i was generous words of. tracy caldwell dyson. just to me the story is a success. for many. they're coming to us from mission control. in spring indebted nations such as greece portugal and spain nearly trying to go into the abyss it was only a seven hundred 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 lore emmet now. in berlin this weekend a group of economists currency experts and former european central bankers are 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 have 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 in a corner means are doing much better than expected germany has fewer unemployed people and in the second quarter of this year it clocked up its best quarterly

growth rate for twenty years but nigel farage of the u.k. independence party says more rest is coming. situation in portugal is 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 that 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 unite defer in competitiveness have no shared labor markets and some haven't stuck to rules on fiscal policy that were 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 key point joining 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. and this sunday when we'll be running an interview with dr william hankel he's one of the current experts who filed a lawsuit in the german constitutional court against the greek bailout well he says it breaks the basis of monetary union. for. european community behavior is completely forbidden for a very simple reason a country which can cause to be bailed out not for long. monetary gain treaty must be for food and not.

indians have for. years me that one of the largest immigrant groups in the u.s. with highly qualified technicians and programmers boosting enervation but now a new migration is underway as hopes for a better living and greater job opportunities are driving many backing. ten years ago k.j. 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 academics that was the first preference there were too many jobs in india. in the private sector and so i followed the trend this trend led singh to a ph d. job at a prestigious research institute and ultimately the skills to start his own company but living the american dream wasn't enough the attraction for the it is only when

you're sort of doing news and you're sort of pushing to be on the open for whatever you're doing and that really is synonymous with gotten if you're looking to sort of grow to sort of learn new things 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 sims 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 it's a far cry from the lives these immigrants were leading in america on a day to day basis a lot of the things get taken care of that made comes into the sweepings well being called in to cook twice a day and somebody comes into the clothes and while most site india is growing economy as the reason for me. moving back they won't discount the quality of life as a perk to just ask pooja bhatt acharya 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. 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 lead but ultimately the roots that drew them back preassure either our t. bangalore india. the united nations general assembly has seen and was between us and around with president without saying he believes about behind

the nine eleven terror attacks the claims that by u.s. and western nations and the wrath of barack obama. has more now 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 god the u.s. delegation outrage they left the assembly hall and surprisingly it took

a little while for barack obama to react to these comments when he did a deal later he said that their hateful many were thinking that maybe the uranium president towards sort of calmed down a little bit but he spoke later at a press conference where he stuck to his opinion take a listen. when i raised is a very clear discussion of the precise one an event occurred and under the pretext of that event two countries were invaded and up 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 good times trees 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 shot 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 about 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 for those threats which we hear from time to time from several quarters.

materialist 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 no that we will strike we must have nuclear weapons so striking iran in my view would be the shortest way to reducing 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. take a look at a few stories making news around the globe this hour to the terrorists level has been raised from moderate to substantial in the government believe the time from irish related terrorists is now a strong possibility the change follows that m i five warning that republican

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 now of course all this beauty 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 descend on the speeding boat in the middle of the pacific. coast guard in the russian far east this is an almost daily routine. annual turnover of illegal fishing and mounds 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 fired 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 a suiting 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 some natural beauty from human harm the beauty which is visible from the very first glance. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the circling island is the island of mine you're on named after french seafarer who discovered it it is described as the pride of the sakhalin region we'll take a look what's in store for us here.

until two thousand and four the island was part of the borders own and was completely restricted to visitors know the spic choice place is open to tourists plants and animals are its top attraction. and it's why many endangered species of by flora and fauna can be found in the underwater world here is all seen nique because of whom currents in the sea minor honest by white the perils of our east. while some go to the sakhalin region to enjoy the sights others convert the island's nature's riches into a healthy dollar it is home to the biggest seafood processing factory in russia the tonight show hundreds of thousands of tons of fish get caught in the nets too late to produce delicious salamon caviar almost a necessary attribute of any fees. in russia the owner of the enterprise says

a major tourist destination alexy rush of ski odyssey reporting from the cycling region. is on the way now we saw this. hello and 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 are working night and day length pipe at record speed and tell you how clover went to see the work. world's biggest spy playing vessel has started working at the border see only a month ago and already it's one week ahead of schedule having laid forty kilometers of the pipeline so far. three hundred meter 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 in the waters between russia and finland a full of mine lines left from the second world war but with soyuz has 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. 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 more or less 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 it stream
