the immense cost of the project others say the potential future benefits for mankind are measurable. never palls. november the second two thousand the first permanent crew reaches the international space station as the world watches it's really humanity's most them vicious engineering project to date a mixture of science technology and political cooperation between formal sworn enemies in the ten years since the says has expanded to the size of a football field and received two hundred lives it has. now the station is nearly complete but the jury in what it has achieved is still out there for sure but up to before the i.s.o.'s was a breakthrough of corporation before there were separate space agencies now they work together it's a leap forward this station has cost the taxpayer one hundred billion dollars and that's just absurd it's too much but it's their money now admit they're not sure

what to expect from the station and that includes the expedition one cosmonauts themselves you to get them going up trains but then she says crew members his own training was more chaotic they were going to give them an edge when we started training for the station itself did not exist but there were no manuals there were no exercise machines the first crews job was to fully activate the station much of it had been assembled separately in russia in the united states and the first time these parts came together wasn't space three militia work be the first two weeks on there were extremely stressful because if we failed we'd have to return to earth and abandon the station it would never have been constructed as planned expedition one was a success despite problems with construction following the columbia shuttle disaster three years later most of the modules were eventually successfully docked the completed space station provides a unique platform for experiments and weightlessness that could develop new materials and medicines starting real now and next year we're going to find out if

you have researchers tinkering in space we can have breakthroughs if not the whole thing was a waste but others believe that the value of that i assess is not that scientific discoveries it's lifespan has already been extended to twenty twenty and possibly beyond that if we're looking at projects of using that i assess as a docking port for missions to the moon and even mars and if mankind does mention further afield i search will serve both as a blueprint and an instruction manual of space should do and don'ts whatever its limitations and budget over and the assess is important. at the torah word no longer seemed like everything was possible in space and there were no longer the cold war budgets to fund that all the i's still proves that space research can be right at the edge of human endeavor either of nerve see moscow well the first european astronaut to command and i assess mission has told r.t. that the ambitious project was made possible by global cooperation. the

international space station is there of course because we had the soyuz vehicles and the time that is spatial was not flying now again our so use vehicles will be the only ones to be able to transport the crew to the international space station for a certain time technology and. transport capabilities for sure helped a lot the international space station gets very big corporation the space station would not be there would not exist to build out cooperation between russia and the u.s. military also have to take into account a smaller part of the european space agency the japanese space agency canada. they all make great contributions to the international space station and i think this is the great strength of the station is that it's really an international corporation there for the benefit of humankind for sure if you want to continue space exploration if you want to have sustainable space exploration to do two asteroids to mars we will have to make some breakthrough technologies meet in propulsion be

then energy being in life support systems and i know that space agencies from all over the world are work on these breakthrough technologies and i hope that in the next ten years we'll see them come true. i was afraid there when first i assess commander from the european space agency. here with r.t.l. little later we bring you the story of an afghan woman forced. children and their parents find out why she turned to a point why headcase is one hundred percent in helplessness. americans are just hours away from casting their votes in the country's midterm elections the results will affect the house of representatives and the senate as well as state and local offices opinion polls suggest the republicans will beat barack obama's democrats in majority of seats. he's going to cheat you can report some voters are more concerned about the corporate backing for many of the candidates and wants it could lead to. the typical attack ad from this election

the us is such that it's virtually impossible to run for office without strong financial backing but the bigger the backing the more candidates ole to their benefactors creases enormously you know equality in influencing policy makers policy made can be increasing their legal process influencing their regulatory process because we. are behind all of these contributions not all good citizens of the united states but basically the most powerful and drita effect mentor people relation to wash the influence in action take a republican leader in the house of representatives john boehner wall street invested millions of dollars in his campaign is also a darling among large health insurance oil firms and drug manufacturers boehner is campaigning again asked all kinds of government regulation is as well as a tax increase for the rich and the other candidate running for reelection republic

especially good at getting their message across and it's clear that pushes people to the streets i would like my boat to come as you would be more democratic. next monday and some fear their interests may be left out because of someone's special interest on the outside this democracy is move on with people coming to a polling station fast putting a cost before the name of a candidate they like but in these elections with the influence of corporations on me it seems a really has a vote in american mail is money that it's shut down on t. washington d.c. well ralph nader an independent u.s. politician who participated in the race for the presidency four times told r.t. that corporations are in food control of washington and its policies. we have corporate socialism in this country where profits are kept and losses are

women's rights in afghanistan continue to be violated despite international efforts to intervene a shocking number of women face domestic violence and abuse with a growing percentage committing suicide because of a lack of trust in the justice system with courts destroyed and judges killed artie's their reports on the situation shows that was sort of improving. it's a choice no mother should ever have to make her children or her family her husband's throw her out and this woman's parents were only take her back if she abandons the children she had with him. was i'm feeling so alone my husband hits me a lot i'm sick my daughter is sick. my other two children are with him. her

family was against the marriage from the beginning the man was from another tribe already married and taking drugs but at the age of fourteen desperate to be with him the goal ran away and married him. my brothers want to kill me i'm very fraid of them they say if you come back alone will accept you. but if you come with your children you are view and also afraid of my husband. the twenty four year old now hides in a shelter last year the human rights commission received eight hundred and fifty similar cases and that's only in the ball it says the justice system is falling far short of helping these women and that afghanistan a problem about out for us we have no women prosecutors and most provinces no women police or family courts whenever

a woman is accused of something there's no one to help her these judges are listening to a case of a young girl who wants to break up her engagement they tell her to come back in the next hearing a husband wants to divorce his wife because she visited her parents for weeks without his permission you know women feel helpless and even in the rare situations where they cases get to court they feel justice has not been served in the last six to seven years the problem of women burning themselves has grown especially in herat and kandahar provinces to suicide because women feel they have no way out afghan court officials say they have enough to deal with even before trying to help these women. all of them with a three decade war it has damaged the capacity of the afghan judicial system we've had fifteen judges killed across the country many of our court buildings are destroyed and we have problems with transportation and staff. in remote areas the

problem is worse many judges simply refuse to be posted there complaining of bad salaries and even worse security. although security help implement law security are better areas but unfortunately the villages are not ready to practice these kinds of law. and often this precious little the courts can do especially in places when warlords and special allegiances are the law we've got to pay to the judges higher salary so that we can cope with their. needs of daily life provide them a place to stay in especially in the area in the district area and also training of them and also. reporting the cases we did decide you know said that the public should go so while this woman waits for the courts to hear her there is no guarantee that even after they do she'll be any better off policy r.t.

serious questions that probably will never be fully cleared up and there's a question mark over how competent the iraqi forces are to deal with situations like this tactically. the security situation is deteriorating whatever the iraqi people and whatever the situation might demand i think it's very very unlikely the american forces will reengage in any kind of particularly large scale manner i think america has essentially not exactly washed its hands but it certainly put iraq on the back burner and the entire focus now is on afghanistan iraq is a problem that the americans want to try to put behind them. that was british journalist andrew gilligan that. aves now a bomb has been found in a mail packages restaffed was addressed to french president nicolas sarkozy explosive has been destroyed and two men were arrested. earlier
