news from russia and around the world this is all see with me you dash above all of thanks for joining us as so you can chill with a crew of three on board has landed safely in kazakhstan that's after two russian cosmonauts and a u.s. astronaut have been delayed in orbit for a day as the space ship couldn't and page from the international space station do you have false alarm they were telling crew will be replaced by another team next month sean thomas has been following the story in moscow for us. 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 sort of. go 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
6:02 pm
spacecraft and 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 were 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 sadness for then 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
6:03 pm
of flying for everything is a ok the next crew which is it t.m.a. zero one a m 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 of brand new spacecraft called the m series soyuz t.m.a. them series which you know gives them the designation of zero one m. now this crew 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. friendly 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 if they say they're going to go in that they're not nervous at all in fact listen to what scott kelly had to say about the subject so you 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
6:04 pm
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 tir maser want to m. a crew they're getting ready to launch in a couple of weeks on october eighth down again baikonur kazakhstan and their task right now is to go down to do the final preparations the final training to make sure that their craft is ready so that they can launch up for the next group to join with the international space station. this is also you know still ahead with search for clues behind tehran's diplomacy russia's foreign minister tells us what he things could be behind iran's latest twists and turns on the wild stage. the future of the euro is being discussed by columnists at a conference in berlin with some claiming its future is doomed huge debts run out by countries including greece portugal spain and ireland but the currency under huge pressure earlier this year saved only but
6:05 pm
a multi-billion dollar bailout but critics believe this is just the beginning of the end for european monetary union lore and that. 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 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
6:06 pm
still being forced into the aim of these people through that referendum will be to bring the joy back to germany now i am joined very kindly by michael moore 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 i have big doubts. because all those questions are. politically incorrect we don't have from the from the masses. this scene is. people just don't talk about it it's really a scandal in my opinion from russian t.v. 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.
6:07 pm
people. for example. 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 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 list like the taters in my opinion you know we didn't elect them but they tell us what to do 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 it to do so very much it is the
6:08 pm
basic tool for brussels in order to dictate into the government how much is this conversation about getting rid of the euro pie in the sky if you like what do you think it would be a hugely destabilizing thing now that the euro is in place to dismantle leary's and in this way some economists say that it will be almost the same as the effect that the collapse of lehman brothers hatch 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 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 to 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 accelerate the velocity you know that eve did even makes it was hard for us all at year end that was not his analyst michael ross talking to us he's a lawyer and on stage and following to you and then later in the program with

professor at the helm uncle one of the cars experts who filed a lawsuit in the german constitutional court against the greek bailout. well leaders meeting at the u.n. general assembly in new york have been continuing pressure on iran to restart talks over its nuclear program though the country says it's open to dialogue it's not enough for an international the international community russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says iran will continue to challenge international and u.n. security council demands for as long as possible and he gave his use to wicklow rushing is shot. across the sea and 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 resolution 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 iran resolutions adopted by the un security council

6:11 pm
diplomats a very intelligent people it turns out that iranian diplomats are liable to holding very drawn out talks adding 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 in this aspect of 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 agree 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 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
6:12 pm
a clear statement and confirm our readiness to resume talks i hope that our meeting will have an impact and it will begin in the immediate future. the foreign minister's commons follow the anger of the u.n. general assembly over the ukrainian president's speech that he believes the u.s. government was behind the nine eleven attacks western nations that by the u.s. walked out with president obama calling the remarks hateful and offensive they were in leader also said however that iran is prepared to discuss its uranium enrichment plans as early as next month. the slump in the american economy has brought a brain drain in reverse of people who came to the country hoping for a better life highly qualified immigrants of indian origin have started returning to their homeland overseas pressure that has been investigating why. ten years ago k.j. singh would have never imagined that he'd be back in india going overseas for higher
6:13 pm
education was something that the guys who did well in academics that was the first preference there weren't 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 a career is only when you're sort of doing news and you're sort of pushing beyond the lope in terms of whatever you're doing and that really is synonymous with gort if you're looking to sort of grow your career to sort of learn new things 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
6:14 pm
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. 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 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. is a lot of the things taken care of that. the sweepings will be called into place at the. lords 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 and you know up to the standard of living in the sense that you have a household. affordability is much better. it's good the boeing is good here it's comfortable it's your own country that tops it all and while the crew at the sober 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 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
6:16 pm
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 leave. ultimately the routes that drew them back preassure either are t. bangalore india. but let's now take a look at some other headlines from around the world britain's opposition labor party has a lecture for climate change minister ad lib and as its new leader beating his brother david by a whisker the winner overcame his main rival sibling the feeble foreign secretary by just over one percent the younger miliband victory was helped by his more left leaning stance which won trade union votes and he replaces gordon brown who stepped down after losing the general election may when the labor party was ousted after thirty years in power. and a student demonstrators have clashed with israeli troops in the west divide it into patient of tomorrow's lifting of a ban of jewish settlers that settlements that the ending of the ban from late

6:19 pm
after an hour we had to open fire after about twenty minutes they stopped probably being too scared of us shooting at them that was one wild chase oleksandr came here from the other side of russia and despite nonstop action and hard work he enjoys his time here that is because he protects natural beauty from human harm the beauty which is visible from the very first glance. tucked in between the russian mainland japan and the suckling island is the of minute on named after french seafarer who discovered it it is described as the pride of the sakhalin region we'll take a look at what's in store for us here. until two thousand and four the island was part of the boarders own and was completely restricted to visit is now in the speech rest place is open to tourists
6:20 pm
unique plants and animals are its top attraction. when you. why many endangered species by flora and fauna can be found here and to watch the world here is all seen neat because of currents in the sea on your own as i like the panels that are released. while some go to the cycling region to enjoy the sites others convert the arlen's nature's riches into a healthy dollar it is home to the biggest seafood processing factory in russia the tonight shot hundreds of thousands of tons of fish get caught in the nets too late to produce delicious salamon caviar almost unnecessary attribute of any feast in russia the owner of the enterprise says a good fishing season can bring in more than one hundred million dollars net profit . and a large extent this is old to do what succulent offers environmentally live tonight shot operates in only and natural habitat farms sell when they feed you have to
6:21 pm
give them a lot of. all sorts of matters in line to buy audix and things like you have to make sure that it actually survived and this is their natural environment and again while filming they're certainly much better than many farm spaces it's a natural product as you can see the fish is alive we deliver it live to the factory and you get the best product you can get a mild climate unique natural sites and delicious seafood succulent can all for a diverse holiday for those who are not afraid to travel ten thousand kilometers from europe the question is whether this distant land would ever be able to become a major tourist destination alexi russia see reporting from the cycling region thank having up next our interview with professor vilhelm huckle one of the current sex that's had filed a lawsuit in the german constitutional court against the greek bailout and he told
6:22 pm
us he's a lawyer and that's why helping greece in this way fundamentally breaches the basis of european monetary. i'm in berlin with professor vilhelm cole who is one of a group of currency experts who filed a suit with the constitutional court in germany against the greek bailout professor cause that's very much for talking to r.t. now tell me about the complaint that even knowledge to with the court. is illegal because. it will be in community. of this completely. for a very simple reason a country which can current. old really not for no. monetary.
6:23 pm
so all. no doubt it's a precondition for a stable but your having now it's a spade we have to feel so your never to be in future stable currency because of the deficit greek is only one case next cases are portugal spain ireland maybe italy and france so there's a real fear now is going in europe is your. very very weak. currency inflated and this is the reason why we started this complaint treaty must be fulfilled and not broken so you maintain that under the terms of that treaty a bailout is actually any gold what outcome do you hope for if six card sharing of hugh said in german participation.
6:24 pm
be stopped and i think we are coming back to. stability probably you see which is now fading away 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 is the economy cannot share. monetary crap having. the ability and hard currency and what effect do you foresee for the rest of the year in saying if countries like greece and spain and possibly italy were forced to pull out i seem to see no real possible one get smaller but harder monetary union not sixteen or seventeen members but only with ten or eight but countries.
6:25 pm
follows that all of this would be an option. to your whole experiment of. union in my view which was not the union but but. how to do is to say that in english in. concord n.h. sixteen sixteen countries shared one currency which is a nonsense political as well as an economic terms so if sis experimenting would be stopped there would go to come back to a national currency so germany to its advantage mark and why not join its 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 they would have performed during the financial crisis. in case our countries are coming back to national currency and germany
6:26 pm
it was dark smart sending that have a clear cut split in your between countries deeply shooting. appreciating and germany i think given his high surpluses and counter-current we belong to the appreciating currencies and that currency is not the damage but it is a real advantage for 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 and the year is broke apart surely there would be a period of huge instability in countries like germany and throughout the year it's a. happen. it's a moment all countries have problems that you will because your will give him credit which is not vast while for source countries in a year or so on all accomplished even big deficit countries countries use high
6:27 pm
inflation rates. capable to. get credit so this is a reason and ours are all over it so after such an experience and every country will come back to stable condition so you can. devalue as a currency getting back competitiveness which is very important and proper 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 and build five against its national crisis for its national means and overcomes a crisis so it's a much better concept to. master financial you cannot be a crisis some economists say that europe will emerge from this crisis in better
6:28 pm
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 say your european central bank. which is the beginning of inflation. and inflation for your means week if not in a cup and see which is intolerable so since see two thousand years of monetary history all contraries running and after the hours now could source. why are monetary. evaluations of foreign exchange rate. in order to overcome a crisis and needs as instrument for i am optimistic after. opting out of
