their dues every nickel isco has more. are you tired of pushing papers around ninety five are you sick of posting to the government telling you what to do well then welcome to. a country where things get done by the people for the people it began in one nine hundred seventy one when he pees in freethinkers squat in forming military barracks their aim was to do this is site from scratch where the only government would be the residents themselves no home ownership no violence it's a co-op community forged by the fifteen hundred strong locals perfect for people like a filmmaker who has lived in christian yes since it was founded if you have this ability to administer yourselves then you also got bigger responsibility for your surroundings and that is something which is lost in large cities today for new this is the most peaceful and welcoming place you could find in denmark possibly in all of europe we want to keep ups 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 year old 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 axis. 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 than if they want to. to

be possible to build something in the area of costing that's the crux of the problem residents pay their taxes to the state and disservice speed 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 we use many years to build up i'm ready to give it up if it has to be a rights against the privatization ideas i don't want christie 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 a proper fight it even goes carty christine you copenhagen denmark. well

ferrying astronauts to the international space station all year round russian rockets remain the number one choice for space travel but even before you're a good car and famous first flight animals are from russia became the first living creatures to reach orbit and as artie's tabatha reports more are headed for the stars to help humanity reach new horizons. 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 to work with the truth of the animals sleep shorter lives than humans their metabolism is different so we can extract data from animal experience to the conditions of man's flight into outer space. here are the in tutor of biomedical problems moscow these rodents are hoping solve space riddles being in orbit can have big effect 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 planet earth. the purpose of all the previous flights when you're to buy in program was just how the zero g. condition effects living organisms and to conduct experiments that can be carried out and 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 researches looked at their muscle mass and the effects of exposure to cosmic radiation and over time the research has yielded a galaxy for wars and then. 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 warp it they'll spend thirty days floating round earth after which cell come back and be examined to see how they changed and they'll be as 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 aerospace medicine and biology never forget that the role began with animals as a matter of fact animals blazed the trail for mankind into space. 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 mars mission might experience this mongolian might not look like much of a cosmonaut nor is he the first animal in space but like the monkeys dogs and other rodents that have gone before him he could help humans reach the stars. let's go.

georgia's capital tbilisi here's a city with a history dating back hundreds of years. though it's getting a bit of a new look. began construction of new modern buildings as part of a restoration project but it's also used as sarah first reports locals are not happy with the changes saying is losing its spirit and its soul. 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 on wooden balconies have the light of visitors and inhabitants but there are signs of construction are everywhere people are worried that it's

destroying the town's historical charge. neither architects nor historians work here the people conducting the reconstruction works were simply told to make it look nice the restoration project is extremely controversial but sure 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 of 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 go to. the authorities and just build the structures of the higher seeds. inside. others house has been in his

family for ninety two year is 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 any more just if you look in front of it. before this area was like a man. with so many people. it's like a museum but despite the criticisms the government adamant they aren't going to stop. we want to do it in criticism is not always acceptable but if it's a little bruise we accept it meanwhile we're not going to stop the implementation of our projects because of. the project is attempting to turn to bill e.c. into a modern european style capital that is the old makes way to the new many feel that the town's historical heritage is being with cheesed to rubble saraf r.t.

georgia right now it's just after twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital you with our take time now for the business news with chirac. hello welcome to our business program. the e.u. is preparing to liberalize its gas transportation networks 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 tell you a whole about reports. guess from sales to year fell 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 of a stiff a 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 means that they can enter the markets continue but he spoke to the market i think in the end this is in favor of gus probably because they are the backbone of the supply of fuel and now they have also the chance to add to that if you're to the market to go to the customer to deliver the case to the customer. i think is a good development for europe this early going to say sure it's also good for the trust in the customers to the gas gazprom is facing an increased competition in europe the tickling from alternative sources of gas production energy majors such as shell which traditionally focused on oil production and now paying more attention to developing their gas businesses i can reject the fact that the share of gas revenues and the total structure total revenue structure of. oil and gas majors global made from city is increasing while oil revenues share is decreasing

actually the main competition for gazprom in europe crowd is not from our willingness majors themselves accounts from qatar elegy producers former african gas producers gazprom is not unaware of the problems it faces 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 in the foss growing markets of asia and india that business r.t. . and it was a marriage that everyone expected but the proposal never came the two main russian bourses r.c.s. and my sex ended the year as separate entities the government has unification plan ready but as i. reports the shareholders still have cold feet.
