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 bay of suffering for a week now but of course the difficult weather conditions might still slow down the rescue mission meet your needs your logical choice conditions in the region remain the same that is very difficult question when does constantly blowing in the only spray come during the edington leads 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 and supplies for two more months if they're not released in the immediate future for helicopters of the rushes emergencies ministry's on standby to you that you wait the people if

that is necessary and prime minister vladimir putin is personally monitoring the situation he's promised to help the sailors and he has been in contact with captains of both the icebreakers and the vessels that are frozen in the bay of sally. are reporting that now the people of gaza having to come up with more ways to earn a living they say the economy is still sluggish despite israel easing its blockade last summer and with many unemployed in the region finding work is no easy feat poor sleep reports. a group of gaza women are breaking new ground literally. they've signed up to workers ditch diggers to help support their families that have led the work is very hard with life is even higher than these women of the families breadwinners and with two out of three people unemployed in gaza the burden of responsibility on their shoulders is heavier than the shovels in their hands of the

barely my family has no one to take care of us and we need money that's why i'm forced to dig plants. three hundred women have signed up they dig holes for water reservoirs on farms in gaza and the pay little more than fifteen dollars a day hard work for private construction game and better than my has been tested provide for two families seen people if i don't do this work and what will i be left with probably not very much which is often the fate of thousands of gazans left disabled from israeli operations they too have no choice but to work in order to survive. i have a family of twelve to feed and there is no other way for me to me growing besides using this route with a mortgage refrigerator to sell ice cream. they survived by selling cigarettes sweets and mobile phones mahu up a wider makes

a living repairing watchers. with a goat hobo found a job i prayed for it i mean. the non-handicapped people have trouble finding a job in gaza today at the end of december it was two years since the last israel gaza war since then border controls in and out of gaza have been eased and more goods allowed to pass through but many gazans complain it's done precious little to improve their lives in the next few months the number of trucks going into gaza is expected to reach four hundred four times what it was two years ago but gazans still cannot cry. israel and their economy remains idle. r.t. israel. and coming your way in just a few minutes we travel to denmark to visit a place unlike any other. welcome to the world's longest existing free society where things get done for the people by the people our team is interested in the

celebrate with a party. and i love dogs. but leila duca isn't like most the teenager spent her birthday speaking about her father her uncles and her frustration with her home country she got arrested mostly because they're muslim and well they have beards so the f.b.i. just started twisting up all the words he was saying was words are all too familiar to some one hundred in attendance family friends and supporters of the countless muslims arrested and convicted through the use of f.b.i. paid informants a practice that many criticize as entrapment no i'm not that is because it was an out of. the trunk of the memphis says destroy only roads. like me this los angeles let's. not run no no no it's not

injustice under a president who promised better lease if he's in the present make a change in this world and stop raise and take out all the free innocent muslims in the jail for lady luck that means growing older without a father right to a. better way. of turning thirteen in the land of the free she's been forced to doubt more and more every day. are to me. it started off as a hippie squad but now the self-proclaimed neighborhood in copenhagen known as a christiania is a community where people live by their own rules no government no politics it's been free and available to all for forty years but now local danish authorities want to cash in arteries every nicholas school has more i get 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's in free thinkers squatting in forming military barracks their aim was to do this is cited 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 filmmaker knows midst who has lived in christian year 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 you want to keep up some of the virtues of the village where people know each other and also dependent 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 most 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 should. i 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 x. is christine mia 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 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

a serious 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 it has to be a rights against the privatization 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 refused to bow to big brother without the proper fight it even goes court t christine you copenhagen denmark. still to come here just a few moments reduced to rubble. it's being torn

down. more than four thousand people are still without electricity in the moscow power cuts which started just before the new year. engineering teams have made a lot of progress but they're being hampered by the snowy weather. after a freezing rain brought down power lines disrupting supply. on sunday. the icy weather initially left hundreds of thousands of people without energy and many were forced to welcome in two thousand and eleven in total darkness. now let's get to some other world news making headlines at this hour with the governor of a stance of providence has been buried in the city of lahore amid tightened security salman taseer was gunned down by his own security guard on tuesday the

the communist state. all questions are 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 have enlisted animals to aid humanity's quest for more distant from tears and as tom pardon artie's tom barton reports the rodents are set to break some 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 first space pioneers to work with the. 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 are 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 permit earth were. 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 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 researchers looked at their muscle mass and the effects of exposure to cosmic radiation and over time the researches ilda a galaxy of rewards and then. 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 cell 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. least of all we specialists in aerospace medicine and biology never forget that he do all 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 journal 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

r.t. let's go. and r.t. dot com has a lot more news blogs and analysis in store for you here's some of what's waiting for you online right now president there's a visit to israel full through a strike by the country's foreign ministry of foreign official talks could now be in danger in a dispute over pay also. gertrude. where prada with millions to take to the u.s. i know what the price of. their perception that. many buildings in the georgian capital tbilisi date back hundreds of years and the government there has decided to renovate them but rather than over storing the historical old town tearing it down and putting up new modern structures and as artie's thought out the locals are none too pleased with the changes.

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 how the wooden balconies have delighted visitors and inhabitants but now signs of construction are everywhere people are worried that it's destroying with hounds historical. neither architects nor historians work here the people conducting the reconstruction works were simply told to make it look nice the restoration project is prefixed stream of the 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 for 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. been for its use of just below the structures of the. inside. as this 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 have sold to investors without them the town has lost the local spirit that made it so unique you can feel it any more just a few local families. before this area was like a man. people know what it's like. but despite the criticisms the government

adamant they aren't going to stop. we want to do the need criticism is not always acceptable but if it's a liberal except meanwhile we're not going to stop the implementation of all projects because of the. project is attempting to turn to bill e.c. into a modern european style capital but is the makes way to the new many feel that the town's historical heritage is being with cheesed to rubble so if r.t. judger. time out of the business with sharon. hello welcome to our business program i'm sure i. could all prices have hit two year highs in recent days as industrial production in the u.s. and europe picks up exports are optimistic about the oil price in two thousand and

eleven but some claim it's entering a dangerous zone for the global economy and to discuss this in more detail i'm joined live by him and to take a. global director of the market reports at platts in london oh mr monts reckitt thank you for joining us. absolutely good morning or good afternoon because a pleasure to be with you. first question for you all prices have reached two year highs do you think a further rise could threaten the global economy. well i don't think so the fact that prices are rising is because there is strong demand so if the demand continuous industrially that is actually a good sign that the economy is healthy if the reflection in prices is underlying demand and production then good signals if the underlying production is soft then prices would reflect that accordingly but very recently in the past few

days prices almost hit ninety five dollars and this is at a time that prices have been above eighty five so all of those are pretty good solid indicators but prices are very firm. certainly somehow this claim oil majors are looking more and more towards gas revenues while they're all revenue shares is decreasing what effect if any will this have on the oil price. well over the long term there is competition among fuels and gas to some degree is already eating into the heating home market and will continue to do that on into some industrial processes but in the short term any extra gas production is really not affecting oil prices in fact gas prices in some areas right now are what they were fifteen even twenty years ago but oil prices are two year highs and really way above the

trend so so far those two products are really not affecting one of them so i think it's good that companies diversify into other fields sundaes a lot of gas to be discovered but the net impact into the zero prices is very limited this is actually fairly good news for russia because that means that the revenue it gets from oil sales will remain robust. that sounds like good news for russia in two thousand and ten though russian oil output hit a post soviet record do you think russia still has the potential to increase its apple further or does it need to develop new fields to keep on track well it needs to develop new fields this recent highs that he has carbon production is because a newer feels came into play such as vancouver so over time the geology of the ground of course leads to less production from existing fields and

you need to renew those fields by either having secondary or tariff production efforts or going into nor areas to produce more oil so it's clear that russia needs to have the facts asian as well as the incentives to transport better oriel from nor very harsh areas such as eastern siberia to maintain that record high in production but so far i think it is clear that russia is having a really good time in terms of producing more and selling that oil record prices again very good news for the russian economy. and lastly where do you think oil is going from here what factors do you think will ultimately drive oil prices most in two thousand and eleven. i think we have seen the behavior in twenty ten which economically wasn't very strong and yet prices almost in the year

or on a high and continue to hold there in twenty eleven i think that one of the main elements supporting prices is actually quantitative easing. policies by the federal banks to flood the system with extra money that causes inflationary pressures that at some point or an all there i'm very early in the run are fed into commodities so oil is a very strong goal despite the ups and downs that he has every day is very very strong so metals coal various energy sources with the exception of gas are are record highs and i think the tendency will continue for the banks to print more money so it's still for the prices to be up plus some of the economists as we were talking initially are doing rather well so all of it points to i think we're going

to see some record prices again this year. all right thank you very much for that that was hard to pick a from platts in london. and russian companies enjoyed a successful rebound from the crisis in two thousand and ten as investors increasingly turn to emerging markets but a select group emerged as big winners in potential gainers in two thousand and eleven analysts expected also nickel shares to continue performing well as investors largely ignored their shareholder conflict troubling the middle producer sergei's to a very off deutsche bank russia explains why. well i think the problem there question is in the rise of global prices i think copper prices will increase because the core players use them more and more in the industrial consumption and also to buy but use may be very good and there is aluminum.
