it's midnight here in moscow welcome reverend the world you're watching us i'm kevin this is our top story tonight the three space crew had to spend an extra day stuck in orbit have now safely returned to earth they were held up by a glitch which prevented the soyuz craft docking with the space station the bit replaced by another team too which is now the baikonur cosmodrome preparing for next month's flight thomas has been following the story for us 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. eighteen crew consisting of alexander sword top. twenty and co 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
4:02 pm
to make sure that everything was ok they were able to create an electrical fire passive 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 were released from the international space station successfully at eight thirty in the morning they launched a deorbit burn to send their engines and 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 sadness fear and the parachute deployed 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 and i said it looks like after six months of flying so everything is a ok the next crew which is that t.m. eight zero one a m they left today from the star city to go down to baikonur to
4:03 pm
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 of brand new spacecraft called the m. series soyuz t.m.a. them syria 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 and 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
4:04 pm
a problem and they fixed it and now they're home safe and our docking ford is free so we can dock there and scott kelly and the rest of the t.m.a. zero one am 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 training make sure that their craft is ready so that they can launch up for the next group to join the international space station. their story with a happy ending still to come tonight the search for clues behind that diplomacy by russia's foreign minister tells us what he thinks could be behind the latest twists and turns in the world stay. with all that the health and 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 only saved by a multi-billion euro bailout but many critics believe this is just the beginning of the end for the single currency. for us. and we had
4:05 pm
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 a stone joins in january that inherently have nothing in common 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 a referendum in germany on the euro asking people whether they really want to or still be enforced and the aim of these people through that referendum will be to bring the deutschmark back to germany now i am joined very kindly by michael moore
4:06 pm
oss 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 the support from the from the masses. this 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 covering this event to. be christian if such could be. in the future because the political. people. for example.
4:07 pm
currency which is a basic democratic seen in my opinion we were not asked if you want to have it also many other people of the european community will not and if you would 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 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 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 in order 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
4:08 pm
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 had this is of course the other side of the coin 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 there's a saying in germany if you're moving towards the wrong direction there is no sense in excel or to the extent of our diversity you know what is it eve did even makes it was hard for us all at year. thought of analyst michael moss talking to oxys lorena stay tuned for our interview a little later as one of the program we'll talk to will henkel one of the currency experts who followed a lawsuit in the german constitutional court against the bailout of great that's
4:09 pm
coming up shortly. iran 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 that's the view of russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov who spoke about nuclear issues surrounding tour and during an interview for a weekly russian news show. of course the younger probable but the russians 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 as three hundred surface to air missile systems to iran in support of this resolution and russia remains opposed to any unilateral sanctions against tehran is that of says the resolutions adopted by the un security council are binding but they need to be turned into national laws because they are not direct application documents within countries legislation that took 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
4:10 pm
germany on the iranian nuclear problem yes we in china brought this issue up once again but sure 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 of a collective result but if it cannot be achieved the 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 or more iran is an ancient country with centuries of history of iranian diplomats a very intelligent people it turns out that iranian diplomats are liable to holding a very drawn out or going to the bitter end and forcing partners to work to their maximum maybe to the utterly impossible in order to learn how
4:11 pm
a partner will be ready to react at which 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. we're 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 un 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 a missile i hope the meeting of the foreign ministers of the group of six in new york to make a clear statement could confirm our readiness to resume talks i hope that our meeting will have an impact and it will begin in the immediate future. so the foreign minister's comments follow angry displays at the un general assembly over
4:12 pm
the iranian president's speech given he had suggested that the u.s. could have been behind the nine eleven attacks his comments triggered a walkout from the assembly hall led by the u.s. delegation the iranian leader says he's now prepared to discuss the enrichment of uranium in his country and the talks could as soon as next month. america could soon bear the brunt of a reverse brain drain as the economy in india expands highly qualified immigrants in the u.s. are doing a u. turn and heading back to their homeland artist prostrate or 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 saying 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 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. 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 can just did roads and street markets is the sober jazz meaning 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
4:14 pm
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 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 the debate comes into the sweepings well being called into place today and somebody comes into the clothes and while most site india is growing economy as a 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 household. affordability is much better.
4:15 pm
it's good the going is going to here it's comfortable in its 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 the 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 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.

4:22 pm
4:23 pm
because. european community. is completely forbidden from a very simple reason a country which can count. not for. monetary. so all. no doubt is a precondition for a stable but your having now is a spade are we have to feel so you're never be in future stable currency because of the deficit greek has already run case next cases are portugal spain ireland maybe italy and france so there's a real fear now is growing in europe is your. very very weak. currency inflated and this is the reason why
4:24 pm
we started this complaint treaty must be fulfilled and not broken so you maintain that under the terms of that treaty a bailout actually amy gold what outcome do you hope for if sick card sharing of hugh said in german participation. be stopped and i think we are coming back to. stability problems here which is now freighting over a and maybe greek is forced to opt out and why not because the country is not very happy to see your weak country can do with the economy cannot share. monetary crap having higher tolls for the ability and hard currency and what effect do you foresee for the rest of the
4:25 pm
year in saying if countries like greece and spain and possibly italy were forced to pull out. too soon or possibly one that is smaller but harder monetary union not sixty and only seventeen members but only has ten or eight but can please. follows it all it's all and says would be a nice option. experiment officer. and in my view which was not the union but but. how to say it in english. concubinage sixteen sixteen countries shared one currency which is a nonsense political as well as in economic terms so if sis experimenting would be stopped there would go to come back to
4:26 pm
a national currency so germany to its advantage mark and why not the choice mark there wasn't a particularly strong currency was it in there in the ten or twenty years leading up to the year how do you think would have performed during the financial crisis i think in case our current clothes are coming back to national currency and to a german it was dark smart so they would have a clear cut split in your between countries depreciating. appreciating and germany sink given his high surpluses and current of current belong to his appreciating currencies and that currency is not to damage but it is a real advantage for our country you get more real goods for your money so we would have. lower interest rate and better performance in the whole economy which we had before your point if the euro did collapse in the year is a broken part surely there would be a period of huge instability in countries like germany and throughout the year it's
4:27 pm
a war. it's a moment all countries have problems that you will because you will give him credit which is not worth while for source countries in a year or so on all accomplished even big deficit countries countries use high inflation rates. capability to get credit so this is the reason why greek and sours are all over it so after such an experiment and every country will come back to stable condition so you can. one key is the currency getting back competitiveness which is very important for getting better and so i was a. bit appreciate and diminish may be explored surpluses but again more prosperity in the home markets so each country of see you
4:28 pm
and bill five against is national crisis because national means and overcomes a crisis so it's a much better concept to master financial and economic crisis some economists say that europe will emerge from this crisis in better shape than it ever was before what do you say to that it's a moment your whole is subsidized currency so it is a v. currency but it is subsidized by a high inflationary intervention of so your central european central bank. which is the beginning of inflation period for you or and inflation for you means weak if not in a currency which is intolerable so since see thousand years of monetary history all
4:29 pm
countries running and therefore the like ours now. source deficits and so is crisis y. our monetary. lever liberation and evaluations of foreign exchange rate are an instrument in order to overcome a crisis and we need to since that meant i am optimistic after. opting out of the deficit conference forms are you when you're an operating down to you and we will get after a short short period of. let's see. problems a very long time stupidity for you. thank you very much.
