top stories this hour of three space crew had to spend an extra day stuck in orbit have returned safely to earth they were held up by a glitch which prevented them from docking with the space station now they'll be replaced by another team which is now the baikonur cosmodrome preparing for next month's flight sean thomas has been following the story for r.t. in moscow. the preliminary tests say that the flight crew is nominal meaning that they are in good health and in good condition after six months in space and a trying to days in fact the t.m.a. eighteen crew consisting of alexander sorts off. the ankle and tracy caldwell dyson they did launch back in april and spent six months in space but the past two days let me give you a little bit of a rundown they were supposed to come back on friday they were in their capsules ready to go and then the latches would not release it from the actual soyuz spacecraft or from the international space station so they had to do some checking to make sure that everything was ok they were able to create an electrical fire

fast of the malfunctioning appointment but they decided to wait a day because there's only a small window of opportunity for them to make their correct landing spot they decided to take that extra precaution and so today at six o two in the morning they got back into the capsules they released from the international space station successfully at eight thirty in the morning they launched a deorbit burn to send their engines a back into the earth's atmosphere then there was a tense of five minutes between nine o two and nine o seven where there was no communication whatsoever with the capsule as they were entering your satisfy your and the parachute deployed and they landed safely back on the ground at around nine twenty one local time in kazakhstan at this point they are now back at star city they are back in the moscow region and they are in fact getting their medical checkups right now as i said it looks like after six months of flying so everything is a ok the next crew which is it t.m.a. zero one am they left today from the star city to go down to baikonur to start their training for the next flight and in fact what's really unique about this

a crew is that they are the very first to test out a brand new spacecraft called the m series soyuz t.m.a. them series which you know gives them the designation at zero one m. now this group consist of alexander kaleri all a good script and scott kelly now they say that their new spacecraft is a more comfortable it's user. and they're also going from a analog system which they've been using for around thirty years to a brand new completely digital system so it's the first time that the soyuz craft will be completely digital and they say they're burning to go and that they're not nervous at all in fact listen to what scott kelly had to say about the subject they 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 and scott kelly and the rest of the team a zero one m. crew they're getting ready to launch in a couple of weeks on october eighth down in baikonur kazakhstan and their task right now is to go down to do the final preparations the final trip training make sure that their craft is ready so that they can launch up for the next group to join the international space station. correspondent still ahead tonight we search for clues behind this diplomacy by going to russia's foreign minister tells us what he thinks could be behind around the latest twists and turns on the world stage. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the suckling island is the of minute on name talk to the french seafarer who discovered it it is described as the right of the sakhalin region close travel seven thousand kilometers from the school one of the country's most prosperous and picturesque regions. the health of future of the euro is being debated by economic experts meeting in berlin the eurozone

brought to the brink of collapse in spring by sweeping debt and overspending was a multi million multi-billion euro bailout but many critics believe this is just the beginning of the end for the single currency. and we 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. 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 torch more 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. take place because all those questions are. political we don't have from. the scene is. people just don't talk about it. here and 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 you want to have it all so many other people of the european community will not and if you want 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 why do we have it it's only thing of a political bureaucracies in brussels to behave more like the taters in my opinion you know we didn't elect them but they turned us what to do 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 do you think it would be a hugely destabilizing thing now that the euro is in place to dismantle the u.s. and in this way some economists say that it will be almost the same as the effect that the collapse of lehman brothers hatched this is 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 or 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 the wrong direction there is no sense in excel or to the extent of the velocity you know that eve did even makes it more hard for us all at year.

iran will challenge the demands of the un security council for as long as possible despite realizing the need to restart talks over its nuclear program that is the view of russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov who spoke about nuclear issues surrounding to around during an interview for a weekly russian news show. across brazil took a total but russia's simply documented in the presidential decree what is required from russia and all the other states in relation to iran after the adoption of the un security council's new resolutions russia refused to deliver the s. three hundred surface to air missile systems to iran in support of this resolution and russia remains opposed to any unilateral sanctions against tehran. adopted by the un security council a binding but they need to be turned international laws because they are not direct application documents within countries legislation it's a further measures regarding terror and were discussed at this week's ministerial meeting in new york of the un security council's five permanent members plus

germany on the iranian nuclear problem yes we in china brought this issue up once again which if we work jointly and if our western partners continue to say that it's necessary to maintain a consolidated position on iran we need to decide whether we can have a consolidated position on all issues or if the security council should be used to achieve the maximum possible collective result but if it cannot be achieved individual states will do it beyond the agreements reached within the security council this is at least ethically and morally wrong in terms of collective work even though the iranians realize very well the need to restart talks over the nuclear program they will challenge the demands of the u.n. security council for as long as possible is going to war with iran is an ancient country with centuries of history iranian diplomats a very intelligent people it turns out that iranian diplomats are liable to holding a very drawn out or getting to the bitter end and forcing partners to work to their maximum maybe to the utterly impossible in order to learn how

a partner will be ready to react. of course we face further problems in the context of iran's nuclear dossier and in this aspect the iranian partners could be more constructive and react to the i.a.e.a. claims more cooperatively and must comply with all that we agree on a year ago in geneva the group of six and iranian representatives were agreeing on things which could be considered a breakthrough and have a positive impact even today in order to prevent the adoption of a new u.n. security council resolution we agreed then that it would take a few days to then discuss concrete dates for talks on iran's nuclear reactor problem twelve months on activity has finally started in order to convene any meeting on the issue with iranian friends could be slightly more proactive on this and i hope the meeting of the foreign ministers of the group of six in new york will make a clear statement and confirm our readiness to resume talks i hope that our meeting will have an impact and that it will begin in the immediate future. while the foreign minister's comments follow angry displays at the un general assembly of the
