watching r t coming to you live from the russian capital welcome to the program and now to our top story the three space crew who had to spend an extra day stuck in orbit have returned safely to earth they were held up by a glitch which prevented their so use craft from undocking with the space station thomas has more from mission control just outside moscow. 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 the soyuz t.m.a. eighteen and crew then basically started their descent to earth at eight thirty they made their deorbit burn which meant firing the engines the point of them down towards the earth around nine o'clock in the morning they entered the earth's atmosphere very fiery environment in fact around nine zero two we lost signal which is expected it's called an l o s 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 a round of nine zero zero seven or they came back into the earth's atmosphere
9:02 am
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 when the actual capsule landed there was a big round of applause here the reason for this is because there was some tense moments yesterday the capsule would not release from the international space station that was due to a malfunction in the latches. it was a small part that the gear wheel there are millions of parts like in a spacecraft but every small detail affects safety in people's lives so we decided to be on the safe side and make a second attempt at the end. to figure that out yesterday but decided to wait an
9:03 am
extra day to make sure that they have the correct time in the approach trajectory because there's only a certain window of 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 grads of this point alexander sorts of me and tracy caldwell dyson from united states are all back on land safety and they're calling this him. a success well as of this crew gets used to being back on the ground another is getting ready to replace them at the i assess they're heading to the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan where another so use rocket will blast them towards the heavens next month artie's mary if it is that star city where she says friday's hitch has not dampened their enthusiasm. it's not a northerner a time a difficult time for cosmonauts and astronauts both currently over to name those who are now here on earth preparing to join them in two weeks' time because following friday's first of a problems with the doctrine everyone is quite nervous but not the three man so you
9:04 am
just landed. a little bit late. so ok it's not a problem it's really a testament to how well the technical experts on the ground and the crew can work together to solve problems you know there was a problem and they fixed it and now they're home safe and our docking port is free so we can dock there. very important while it is usual with three space men go into your own rushes you spacecraft but this time it will be an advanced and more denies diversion off the spacecraft called so you steer may i am. where and that will be the first address to use spacecraft to use a digital a control system which is supposed to replace previous analog control a system which has been in use for more than three decades before that it's an integrated edition of the space ground flies now small comfortable and user friendly because new within the give the crew lost its unities in oldham to was

a good read through this remembers of the twenty fifth mission to the international space station now will are expected to spend the next two weeks in by canoe in kazakhstan preparing for their space flight which is scheduled on their eighth of october and still ahead we search for clues behind tehran's diplomacy bargaining russia's foreign minister tells us what he thinks could be behind your bars latest twists and turns on the world stage. of the health and future of the euro is being debated by economic experts meeting in berlin the euro zone brought to the brink of collapse in spring by sweeping debt. overspending was only saved by a multi billion euro bailout but many critics believe this is just the beginning of the end for the single currency parties or ever live in berlin hi there laura so there's a lot of negative negativity towards the euro at the meeting and what's the update
9:06 am
now. well we're nearing the end of this meeting really it's been going on since nine o'clock this morning here in berlin there's been very good attendance actually has taken place in this sort of industrial warehouse kind of a state which is just behind me and we've had a roomful of six hundred fifty people listening to around about fifteen speakers ranging from economists to some of the foremost currency experts in germany and also former european central bankers and they've been saying essentially that maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but sometime in the not too distant future the euro is going to collapse and they've been arguing that it's a fundamentally flawed concept in the first place that ever since its introduction it's been in inherently a wrong thing to do also officially bringing together sixteen economies nearly seventeen when a stony adjoins in january that inherently have nothing in common at the end of the day there's going to be adoption of what they're calling an action plan is going to be four points and one of them is going to encourage people to call for
9:07 am
a referendum in germany on the euro asking people whether they really want your is still to be enforced and the aim of these people here today through that referendum will be to bring the deutsche mark back to germany now i am joined very kindly by michael ross who is a stock market guru and he's also the editor in chief of and you news michael thanks very much for talking to us now tell me will you be backing this referendum that's being proposed if there is a referendum of course we will be backing it but on the other hand i have big doubts that this referendum take place because all those questions are. politically incorrect we don't have any support from the from the masses. this is the scene is. people just don't talk about it it isn't really a scandal in my opinion. here and none of the western media is for example
9:08 am
covering. this inventive. big question marks if such a poll could be realized in the future because of political stress will be too high that people. will not be able for example to vote about their own currency which is a basic democratic seen in my opinion we were not asked if you want to have it all so many other people of the european community will not and if you would ask them they would say no we don't like it for example we had a recent poll here in germany fifty percent of all germans didn't want the euro still don't want it at the moment and even sixty percent of the french people don't like it so i ask myself why do we have it it's only a thing of a political bureaucracies in brussels to behave more or less like the taters in my opinion you know we didn't elect them but they tell us what to do so and in fact
9:09 am
that's one of the things that you and other people in the room is saying is that the euro is a tool for undermining democracy yes of course it's to do so very much it is the basic tool for brussels in order to dictate into the governance and tea and of the aim to do really is to make government governments dependent on brussels that means we lose. we lose. in terms of saying what we do with our own money and we have to give it all to brussels and then day. they want with the money without any legal legitimate taishan and this is in my opinion the only reason why brussels is still sticking so much very much with billions and billions to the euro because they know if the euro they will lose their power and this is the real thing behind it they don't want it and you have called the year that the biggest nonsense in monetary history all the economic reasons as well to
9:10 am
eat why you object is ok. you compare greece with germany for example in former days in the ninety's we know that he's ordered to italy or take seven countries have a special way in order to manage economies we know that and if there are problems you have to devaluation then. ten percent less and one day was a big exacting for one week and after what it was again business as usual this is how we'll economies have to work you have small entities which compete to each other and if then something goes wrong you have means of. smaller parts can devalue other parts. appreciate in their currency and this is capitalism like. this what we have now that you have a. new role for example a entity that it's moving more towards to be had in the form. who
9:11 am
dictates no we mix ability which is ridiculous in my opinion you cannot dictate to stability for example food is european stability facility things you know seven hundred fifty billion euros for stability to believe he has to come from the governments it's turf enough from the roots from from greece from germany well let's talk a bit more about stability how much is this conversation about getting rid of the euro pie in the sky if you like do you think it would be a hugely destabilizing thing now that the euro is in place to dismantle in this way some economists say that it would be almost the same as the effect that the collapse of lehman brothers had. of course the other side of the calling the longer we have it the more difficult it will be to get rid of it and of course there will be thousands and millions of problems but it doesn't mean that we didn't have to start no because the longer we wait the more problems we have we will get and the higher we will fall down i mean. saying in germany if you're moving. the wrong
9:12 am
direction there is no sense in excel or to extenuate velocity you know it is it eve did even makes it more hard for us all at the end because the euro as it is at the moment cannot survive everybody knows that everything that we had before was a. preemptive thing telling us that there is an illness that we have symptoms like this and there it comes as ok we spend more money spent more money from what we have no money we only can make more debt stays until seven hundred fifty billion money left in our pockets to support a country so this shows already how difficult this is i mean at the end if we go on like this is also germany. this is the end to know then of course you will is also done so in my opinion it is first and foremost very important to go to the
9:13 am
beginning off of all of it and check the real problems behind it when you see it's not working then you have to stop it and in my opinion there is no other way that at the end germany has to step out of the euro because next year in my opinion these rescue package will be drawn then to legally spain ireland will step out and say ok we have no money because interest rates are too high they have these hidden contracts where there must not participate on this rescue package and then only the north countries can pyatt in specially germany with five hundred billion euro this will be the time when german people said on the street and say no but what happens then then the rest of europe will say ok you better germans you are guilty that europe has broken has the us collapse and so i see very very complicated problems. moving ahead of how michael moss thank you very much for
9:14 am
joining us as mr maher says that this is certainly not the end of the year. crisis that looks like and certainly the people here are saying that there is more rest and instability ahead many thanks for that artie's a laura berlin. how america could soon to bear the brunt of a reverse brain drain has the economy and india expands the highly qualified immigrants in the u.s. are doing a u. turn and heading back to their homeland artie's preassure door went to find out why . ten years ago k.g. 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 this trend lead sing to a ph d. a 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 that 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 go if you're looking to sort of grow. this is the right 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 can just did 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 sings gated community residents can enjoy the olympic sized pool state of the art tent. 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. into place. 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 household. affordability is much better you know. it's good the going is good here it's comfortable it's your own country. and while
9:17 am
the crew at the silver jazz mean 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 an employment situation for 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 areas that they're going to work and the younger generation has a lot more things going on for them and 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. iran will challenge the demands of the u.n.

security council for as as long. possible despite realizing the need to restart talks over its nuclear program that's the view of russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov who says it's traditional for terror ron to adopt this attitude towards diplomatic relations he also said that talks on iran's uranium enrichment could be restarted in the near future five permanent un members plus germany agreed to work together on the issue of terror was nuclear ambitions almost a year ago but according to a lover of only now is iran showing signs of cooperating with the atomic watchdog he added that russia's decision to supply s three hundred surface to air missile systems to iran was in accordance with the u.n. security council. the foreign minister's comments follow the angry displays of the u.n. general assembly over the rain and president's speech now that hinge on mahmoud ahmadinejad's suggestion that the u.s. could have been behind nine eleven attacks artes and us to see if you know who is
9:19 am
in new york explains. well the you was 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 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 deal later he said that their hateful many were thinking that maybe the iranian 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. to raises a very clear discussion of precise one and event and under the pretext of that
9:20 am
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 and you feel that if in fact finding mission was present from the start to explore the true reason behind nine eleven that we would not see the catastrophes in afghanistan and iraq why do you assume that all nations should accent 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 renia 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 have been sent to iran and basically what the international community is looking for is that iran call. operate with the
9:21 am
international atomic energy agency as well as sign up to several important nuclear nonproliferation agreements international agreements 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. materialist and the forces used against iran i believe this would be the shortest way to the ridiculous in their own. 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 inducing graham's going nuclear military and this is
9:22 am
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 and up next the business news when charlotte and that's after a short break. this is more a region is economically and socially one of russia's better developed provinces the region has a significant scientific and industrial capacity that will realize its full potential after the construction of the. park can tell ya he has completed the i t. park or has r. and d. projects in the spheres of automotive construction aerospace and oil chemistry high tech data center furbished with cutting edge servers and communication equipment will be constructed at the core of the park the project has been personally
