watching our team live from our studios in moscow welcome to the program now to our top story to 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 used craft from one docking 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 the capsule on dock from the international space station has saw his team eighteen 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 o two and 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 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 bite 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 extra day to make sure that they have the correct time in the next 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 the 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. sorries eighteen a success well as this crew gets used to being back on the ground another is getting ready to replace them with the i assess they've arrived at the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan where another so is rocket will blast them towards the heavens next month artie's many if it is that star city where she says friday's hitch has not dampened their. it's not a northerner a time a difficult time for cosmos 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 i have a problem is with a doctor in everybody's quite nervous but not the three man so you 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 usually three space may. go into your bit on the sea of rushes to use spacecraft but this time it will be an advanced and more denies diversion of sea spacecraft called so used may and. where and that will be the first ever see you spacecraft to use a digital control system which is supposed to replace previous analog control a system which has been in use for more than three decades before that but it's an integrated version of the space flight is now small comfortable and user friendly in his new group and it will give the crew in law that unity's in orbit is

a good vehicle this remembers of the twenty fifth mission to the international space station now we'll are expected to spend the next two weeks in by canoe in kazakhstan preparing for their spaceflight which is scheduled on their eighth of october and still ahead we search for clues be. tehran's diplomacy bargaining russia's foreign minister tells us what he thinks could be behind iraq's latest twists and turns on the world stage. now the health and future of the euro is being debated by economic experts meeting in berlin the eurozone brought to the brink of collapse and spring by sweeping debt and 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 artie's laura m. it is in berlin for us. and we've had a room full 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 i joined in january that inherently have nothing in common at the end of the day there's going to be option 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 a referendum in germany on the euro asking people whether they really want to or still be enforced and the aim of these people here today through that referendum will be to bring the joy back to germany now i am joined very kindly by michael 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's a referendum of course but on the other hand have big doubts that this referendum take place because all those questions are. politically incorrect we don't have from. the scene is. people just don't talk about it. here. the western media is for example covering this event to. be christian if such could be. in the future because the political. people. able for example to vote about their own currency which is a basic democratic seen in my opinion we were not asked if we want to have it all

so many other people of the european community would not ask them 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 asked myself why do we have it it's only a thing of a political book a seat in brussels to behave more like the taters in my opinion you know we didn't elect them but they turned us want to do so and in fact 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 to dictate into the government how much is this conversation about guessing which of the euro pie in the sky if you like what do you do you think it would be a hugely destabilizing thing now that the euro is in place to dismantle the euro is

and in this way some economists say that it will be almost the same as the effect that the collapse of lehman brothers hat. the other side of the coin is 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. get and the higher we will fall down i mean. saying in germany if you're moving towards the wrong direction there is no sense in excel or to the extent of the velocity you know that is it eve did even makes it more hard for us all at year. america could soon bear the brunt of a reverse brain drain as the economy in india expands highly qualified immigrants in the us are doing a u.-turn and heading back to their homeland artie's appreciate or want 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 the trend this trend led 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 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 gore if you're looking to sort of grow. this is that a place to be and this place is bangalore india. a city of six million exports more than thirty billion dollars of i.t. products every year amidst the hustle and bustle of can just good roads and street markets is the soba jazz mean a tranquil gated community talked 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 other day to day basis a lot of the things. the sweepings will be. in two places . 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. 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 you know. it's good the going is good here it's comfortable it's your own country. and while the crew at the silver jobs 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 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 there's a lot 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 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 or will challenge the demands of the u.n. security council for as long as possible despite realizing the need to restart talks over its nuclear program well that's the view of russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov who says it's traditional for tehran to adopt this attitude towards diplomatic relations he also said the talks of iraq. you reign him in richmond could be restarted in the near future five permanent u.s. numbers plus germany agreed to work together on the issue of tehran nuclear ambitions almost a year ago but according to a lover of only value is iran showing signs of cooperating with the atomic watchdog he added that russia's decision not to supply s. three hundred surface to air missile systems to iran was in accordance with the

secure u.n. security council. well the foreign minister's comments follow the angry displays of the u.n. general assembly over the president's speech well that he enjoyed mahmoud ahmadinejad suggestion that the u.s. could have been behind nine eleven attacks artie's others to see it sure could not who's in new york explains well the u.s. 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 of the 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 they're hateful many were thinking that maybe the iranian president would sort of calm down a little bit but he spoke later at a press conference where he stuck to his opinion take a listen. raises a very clear discussion and a precise one and 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 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 contrast. if she's in afghanistan and iraq why do you assume that all nations should accent well the u.s. government tells them it was reiterated that what the international community wants is dialogue and even though mahmoud ahmadinejad 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 cooperate with the 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. are materialist and this force is used against iran i

believe this would be the shortest way to the radicals in the room. very early 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 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. two more militants have been killed during a special forces operation in russia's republic of dagestan two gunmen including the head of a local terror group were killed on friday after police blocked militants in a house in the republic's capital doha another managed to escape after a suicide bomber tried to attack the scene of the standoff but their wrists was

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 so working night and day. would speed and tell you how close went to see the work. 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 more 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 does 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 its schedule to late 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 contract is keen to support putin's plans to build more energy links between russia and europe and take on the work it would bring. a chance to fire we are already talking with people. pushing.
