responsibility for your surroundings and that is something which is lost in large cities today for newell's this is the most peaceful and welcoming place you could find in denmark possibly in all of europe we want to keep up some of the virtues of the village where people know each other and also dependents and feel a responsibility for each other so what's their secret to peaceful coexistence people actually take responsibility for the area themselves they don't expect. an authority or some sort of guy from the from the city to come and take care of things we would do it ourselves in fact christina seems to be extremely attractive to moes danes a recent newspaper poll found one hundred fifty thousand copenhagen residents would love to up sticks and settle down in this euro utopia. such a lot of fairy tale atmosphere here and we have also saying you shouldn't know what's around the next corner that should be some kind of surprise unfortunately

the biggest surprise right now comes from the city authorities who want to string the acts of christine the land is owned by the state and the state and the state can't do anything about the land if they want to have more housing there if they want to. to be possible to build something in the area of posting that's the crux of the problem residents pay their taxes to the state and disservice fee to christian year but they do not own the houses they live in you're not allowed to make any money off your house and here the house is owned by christina and you live there and rented from christina and you can't sell it on because we don't want to speculation and interest and money in this place but that's something copenhagen city council wants to change by forcing residents either to buy out or move out even if we live in this house which many years to build up i'm ready to give it up if it has to be a rights against the privatization of ideas i don't want chrissy added to privatize

for now the courts are deciding and although peaceful coexistence and tolerance are two of these communities cornerstones its residents refuse to bow to big brother without the proper fight it even goes christine you copenhagen denmark. and russia remains the world's leading space power with it so yes rock is the number one and only choice for astronauts but even before eureka darren's famous first flight it was russian adults that became the first living beings to reach orbit as our reports more of man's best friends are headed for the stars. it's fifty years since the first human went to space it's counted as one of our greatest achievements but as some scientists point out we shouldn't forget the role of first space pioneers for working for the truth of all animals live shorter lives than humans their metabolism is different so we can extrapolate data from animal

experience to the conditions of man's flight into outer space. here with the intuitive biomedical problems in moscow these rodents are hoping solve space riddles being in orbit can have big effects on our bodies and although man has been space for decades there's still much that we need to know if we want to travel further away from permit on earth. the purpose of all the previous flights where the buy in program was just evolution how the zero g. condition effects living organisms and to conduct experiments that can be carried out in humans but are possible on animals. the biome program starting in one nine hundred seventy over a dozen trips have taken animals into space to conduct unique research that when the animals were brought back researchers looked at their muscle mass and the effects of exposure to cosmic radiation and over time the researches ilda the galaxy for wards. and when they need to go according to foreign analysts about

seventy percent of our knowledge about the effect of weightlessness on organisms comes from these experiments on board satellites. now it's these mongolian journals time to go into orbit they'll spend thirty days floating round earth after which come back and be examined to see how they changed. and they'll be the heirs of all those pioneering animals that went before the bike like the first space traveler and stroke and belka who followed a few years later. we specialised in. as a matter of fact. the truth. is the previous journeys of animals into space have lasted a maximum of twelve days this one will last thirty and that longer period of experimentation it's hoped will tell us more about what the human crew of the mas

mission might experience this mongolian. nor is he the first animal in space but like the monkeys dogs and all the rodents that have gone before he could help humans reach the stars. and ever get to log on to our web site where there are always more stories for you and here's a taste of what's online right now. bad weather continues. with thousands of people still left without power after winning in the new year. is that if a girl of twenty if you haven't heard of her yet the american reality star promises this year you certainly will find out what's behind her success on to our t.v. . plus discover a new dimension as one of the most famous ballets the not. and

georgia's capital tbilisi is an ancient city with a history dating back hundreds of years currently the whole town is getting a new look so we're construction of new modern buildings as part of a restoration project. reports locals are unhappy with the changes saying is losing its spirit and so. to police his old town is undergoing some major changes a government backed construction project aims to revamp the aging architecture they call it new life for the old town but others have called it a battle for the city's. first century these winding cobbled streets old houses all in balconies have delighted visitors and inhabitants but

there are signs of construction are everywhere people are worried that it's destroying with hounds historical. neither nor historians would here the people conducting the reconstruction works were simply told to make it look nice the restoration project has proved extremely controversial but should the housing here is in desperate need of repair but in many cases the government has simply rebuilt tearing down beautiful and often historical structures and putting in their place poor replicas. you know they've just done work to the facade everything has been done in a slim chance way. past the cash funding the project comes from the international community but little accountability and poor building control has led to accusations that the money isn't being invested wisely many of the homes now stand empty and uncompleted. the authorities have just built the structures of the

who sees that. as his house has been in his family for ninety years he tells us that it's not just the poor quality building work that's a problem in the modernization boom many of the locals has sold to investors without them the town has lost the local spirit that made it so unique you can't feel it anymore just a few local families. before this area was like a man. with so many people. it's like a museum but despite the criticisms the government adamant that they aren't going to stop. we want to do even more criticism is not always acceptable but if it's a loop bruce works up to meanwhile we're not going to stop the implementation of our projects because of it. that the project is attempting to turn to the lisi into a modern european style capital but as the old makes way to the new many feel that

the town's historical heritage is being which east to rubble so if r.t. georgia. and next as latest business news was sure ana. hello welcome to our business program i'm sure on it. the e.u. is preparing to liberalize its gas transportation network pushing for more diversity in its gas market although this would allow russian gas giant gazprom to sell directly to the customer it could also increase unnecessary competition for the russian gas giant as global oil and gas majors increase gas production that's a whole of of reports. gazprom sales do you feel about twelve percent in two thousand and nine due to the financial downturn demand has somewhat recovered but at the same time the russian gas monopoly is now facing out of a stiff competition the european union favors diversity on the gas market and wants

to liberalize the transportation networks russia dislikes the idea but some experts believe there's little to feel pretty price markets me instantly. came into the market it's going to be but he's going to do nothing i think in this is in favor of gas probably because the other big on the supply if you don't know they have also the charts trying to better to the market will do because some of the debate about the case to the council. i think is a good development for europe is something where it's a sin it's also clear to trust in the customers to because gazprom is facing an increased competition in europe particularly from alternative sources of gas production energy majors such as shall which traditionally focused on oil production and now paying more attention to developing their gas businesses i can originate the fact that the share of gas revenues and the total structure total revenue structure for. oil and gas majors global majors i think is increasing while

the oil revenue share is decreasing actually the main competition for good is probably in europe rob's not. willing to its major stem cells counts from cattaro and she producers. africa gas producer it's brown was not unaware of the problems it traces in europe analysts believe it needs to be more flexible in its pricing in long term contracts something the company is reluctant to do for the moment instead it's focusing on diversifying its customer base and the fos growing markets of asia and india but then you have business r.t. . and two thousand and ten was a turbulent year for neural state call it which has hit the headlines for the wrong reasons as its major shareholders roussel and interest household for control of the metal producer despite its share suffering initially they bounced back towards the end of the year surrogates to veer off from deutsche bank russia explains why but i

think the problem of the question is really in the rise of global price of i think the price will you increase because if you was through more and more in the investment of consumption and those sort of buy but he was maybe going to go there in the ocean or for a corporate profit or bill for example and i speak on this book of ships three of them this come from a polygamist before the crash course so nice to meet your wife are efficient and all food maybe you could have enough but if. it was a marriage that everyone expected but the proposal never came the two main russian forces r.t.s. and my sex ended the year as separate entities the government has a unification plan ready but as i. reports the shareholders still have cold feet. combining the my six with the r.t.s. would result in an exchange with more than the sum of their parts that's the view

of the my six president has become enthusiastic cheerleader for was consolidation in russia over this. kind of working together with our partner for years having a drink or a change in achieving the end of giving the queen if you give and moving that forward it is a great and very important wall in my view infrastructure on very important and great for the market the ruble denominated my six was set up eighty years ago by russia central bank as a state company for trading currency it's now also owned by state banks of the t.v. and. in congress the dollars nominated r.t.s. is a private boys owned by both russian and foreign investors russian companies frequently trade on both bourses supporters of emergency the different strengths of each index would complement each other after years of managed. vision on the basis of market is in all what they want of my six we have a very good financial base is very good support of the state but of those summaries

you just took a shit if you will not be in line of this among the top central bankers says the my six wants to buy the r.t.s. in a friendly takeover with seven hundred fifty million dollars however alpha bank which owns almost ten percent of our geas is the boys is worth up to two billion dollars . it's now a question for the shareholders to answer and they may have different interests and intentions but i think there's no ideal model it all depends two thousand and eleven may see a third side joining the story europe's largest exchange operate to us it is said to be moving a three way alliance with its counterparts in moscow analysts say that will help it competes with london and hong kong while russian companies would be given a chance to lease both in russia and germany getting access to greater capital is not directive proposition but one that might critically imply building a missions of r.t.s. in my six. business r.t. .
