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 institute of biomedical problems moscow these rodents are hoping solve space riddles being in orbit can have big affects 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 palm into. the purpose of all the previous flights under the buying 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 because. 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

experimentation it's hoped will tell us more about what the human crew of the mars mission might experience this mongolian job or 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. moscow. many buildings in the georgian capital tbilisi date back hundreds of years and the government has decided to renovate them but rather than restoring the historical old town authorities are tearing it down and putting up new modern structures that r.t. sarah ferguson out the locals are not happy 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 so. that the century is winding cobbled

in recent days as industrial production in the u.s. and europe picks up experts are optimistic about the oil price in two thousand and eleven but with many oil majors diversifying their output with alternative energies like natural gas some worry this could hurt overall oil revenues jorge much of pick a global director of marker ports at plants in london explains the correlation. 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 way above trend so so far those two products are really not affecting one another

this is actually fairly good news for russia because that means that the revenue it gets from oil sales will remain robust and the e.u. is preparing to liberalize its gas transportation networks pushing from one diversity in this gas market although this would allow gas plant to sell directly to the customer it could also increase unwanted competition for the russian gas giant as global oil and gas majors increase gas production now tell us how close 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 really price markets means that they really 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 of europe and now they have also the chance to enter that into the market to go to the house some of the three by the case to the cost. i think is a good development for europe this summer going to say soon it's all too close to trusting the customers to be gas gazprom was 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 generally ject the fact that the share of gas revenues and the total structure total revenue structure of. oil and gas majors gold mine for that is increasing while oil revenue share is decreasing actually the main competition for gazprom in europe crowd is not from our willing kids majors themselves accounts from cattaro and she producers for african and

gas producers gazprom is not unaware of the problems that 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 tell you how clever business r.t. . and it was a marriage that everyone expected but the proposal never came the two main russian bourses r.t.s. and my sex ended the year as separate entities the government has a unification plan ready but as i. reports the shareholder still have cold feet. combining 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 an enthusiastic cheerleader for was 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 it 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 eighty years ago by russia's central bank as a state company for trading currency it's now also owned by state banks and he in congress the dollars nominated r.t.s. is a private boys and 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. the vision on the basis of market is in all what they want of my sex we have a very good financial base is very good support of the state but there are some reasons i just took a sure sure not to be in line of this among the top central bankers says the my six
