off the coast and it was in more danger than the other three as it was being dragged back to the coast by the icy waters now that mission has been completed and their ice breakers are heading to release some four hundred people that have been stuck in the way of settling for a week now but of course the difficult weather conditions might still slow down the rescue mission. meteorological conditions in the region remain the same that is very difficult question when does constantly blowing in the only spray come during the ebbing to. even though the members overt the crew are in no immediate danger of course they have spent a week there already and even though they still have water food in there and the supplies for two more months if they're not released in the immediate future for helicopters of the russia's emergencies ministry's on standby do that you wait the

the communist state while questions surrounding the effects of a mission to mars on humans may soon be answered as russian scientists turn to the original space explorers for help they've been listed animals to aid humanity's quest for more distant from tears as artie's tom barton reports the rodents are set to break records. 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 the first space pioneers for working with the animals live shorter lives than humans their metabolism is different so we can extrapolate data from animal experience to the conditions of man splayed into outer space. here the into two to biomedical problems in 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. for the purpose of all the previous flights where the buy in program was just 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 bio 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 a galaxy of rewards. 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 they'll come back

and be examined to see how they've changed. and they'll be the heirs of all those pioneering animals that went before them like like the first space traveler and stroke and belka who followed a few years later. least of all we specialists in aerospace medicine and biology never forget that he drawled begin 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 jabil 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 tom watson

poor replicas. you know they've just done work to the facade everything has been done in a slipshod way. part of 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 been the structures of the who says that soon. after his house has been in his family for ninety two 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 have 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 left. before the syria was like a man. with so many people we know it's like

networks pushing for more diversity in its gas market although this would allow gazprom to sell directly to the customer it could also increase on water competition for the russian gas giant as global oil and gas majors increase gas production that i hope of our reports. gazprom sales to your 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 fear from the price markets means to a real surprise came into the market to continue but he spoke to the market i think in this is in favor of gas probably because they are the big one of the supply for europe and now they have also the chance to enter that or to the market to go to the house some of the day but because to the cost. i think is

a good development for europe this summer going to say she has also called for the trust in the customers to be gas gas from 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 originate the fact that the share of gas revenues and the total structure total revenue structure of. oil and gas majors global mean for setting is increasing while the oil revenues share is decreasing actually the main competition for gas problem in europe crops not from our willing kids majors themselves accounts from cattaro and she producers for 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

ready but as a. co reports the shareholders still have cold feet. combining the my six with the artists 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 boys consolidation in russia over this. kind of working together with our partner from our viewers having a drink or a change in achieving the end of giving the community together and moving that forward. is a great and very important role in my view infrastructure on very important and great for the market the ruble denominated my six was set up eighteen years ago by russia central bank as a state company for trading currency it's now also owned by state banks v t v and the e 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 managed by the. additional members of the
