is eve. eve eve. six. hundred people remain stranded. after a fleet of ships was imprisoned and. we were able to contact the captain of one of the stranded vessel spun out all the details in just a few moments from called world. struggled to find employment in. the economy hasn't picked up. easy its blockade and. also because there must. be a. claim they're struggling with daily

prejudice in the u.s. with. more and more people falling victim to islamophobia ten years after nine eleven. but news from russia and from around the world this is r.t. here in moscow. one four hundred people are waiting to be released from the icy waters off the russian far east coast three vessels have been stranded for almost a week now as ice breakers are making their way to the trapped seamen. has more now on the rescue mission. this is definitely a difficult situation or talking about over four hundred people spent around a week now in the icy waters in the russian far east but we know that they do have enough supplies to last them for several months so we shouldn't worry about food or

water shortages a major rescue operation is underway and the crews of these vessels do seem to be in in good shape or able to contact the captain of one of the stranded vessels and here's what he had to say. the icebreaker is getting through to us the situation on the ship is normal people are waiting for the icebreaker. captain doesn't advise us to ride it out for you. he said we should wait for their arrival it's expected to be here tomorrow we celebrated the new year on the ship everything's fine it's just sad we didn't have any work to do and the people to come we had an amateur concert for the new year as soon as the icebreaker frees us to get back to work. or don't worry about us we have food and water it's warm we had three and already we were also able to contact one of the crew members from one

of the three vessels you dock there and he said that they're already able to see the icebreaker approaching the big question is how much time is it going to take for this ship to to get to them it was a huge storm on thirty of initially when these vessels became stranded in the icy waters now weather forecasts say that another storm is actually approaching. me hampering the rescue efforts but still the rescue is continuing it's been going on for several days now two ice breakers are trying to get these ships were also able to contact one of the in the ears off the rescue operation as you know it is hard to predict how rapidly to break his will breach the three try. vessels there's a vast accumulation of ice in the region which in places is almost eight meters thick the ice is being formed as the emma river is throwing out large amounts of fresh water that's freezing the vessels are in constant motion so as not to let the

ice form around the holes the situation is being worsened by the gale force winds. you can imagine the of the ice which is eight meters deep water whether conditions have to be to create that but of course the rescue operation is continuing we will be monitoring the situation and we'll report on the story as it continues 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 auntie's paula slim reports. a group of gaza women are breaking new ground literally. they've signed up to workers ditch diggers to help support their families the red line and the work is very hard but life is even hiding these women of a family's breadwinners and with two out of three people unemployed in gaza the burden

of responsibility on their shoulders is heavier than the shovels in the hands of the barely my family has no one to take care of us and we need money and that's why i'm forced to dig. the. 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 meet go even besides using this route with a multitrack to sell ice cream. they survived by selling cigarettes sweets and mobile phones madhu abu wider makes

a living repairing watches. that we've got her both found i prayed for it i mean. the non-handicapped people have trouble finding dope 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 allow 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. to israel and their economy remains i don't. r.t. israel. well coming up 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 a christian

staying in the us the new congress is being sworn in more seats have gone to the republicans who seize control of the house of representatives and november's mid-term elections they're running to derail barack obama's health reform and push for spending cuts the public has put off the opposition to the president in the months. as it stalled the ratification of a key on for adoption treaty with russia and experts believe congress could now try to scale that start treaty. i'm not sure if it's going to bring dramatic change but there is no doubt that the assumption of republicans of power in the house of representatives is going to complicate life or died with ration there's no doubt that congress is going to try to do. a number of. laws and the policies of the administration one of them of course was going to be all the an effort to basically change health care or. some american want to

change the old start agreement but i think it's going to be very difficult for them to do so primarily because you still have the senate and the senate although you're democrats but democrats continue to hold the majority and even if. that's unlikely both the senate and the house agree to take such stands to derail the president's plans i think we the president still has the veto authority so that's going to make it next on possible to bring to change the soft law. news.

is a community where people live. all. but

local authorities. i am 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 build a society 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 yet since it was founded if you have this ability to administer yourself 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 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 christine he 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 year old utopia that is 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 christian 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 than if they want to. to be possible to build something in the area of course that's the crux of the problem residents pay their taxes to the state and disservice to christian yes 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 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've used many years to build up i'm ready to give it up if it has to be a rights against the profits or sation ideas i don't want christie added to privatized for now the courts are deciding and although peaceful coexistence and tolerance are two of this community's cornerstones its residents refuse to bow to

counted as one of our greatest achievements but as some scientists point out we shouldn't forget the role of first space pine for work not just for the trip or the animals leave shorter lives than humans their metabolism is different so we can extrapolate data from animal experience to the conditions of mansplaining 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 politics more to. the purpose of all the previous flights under the by an early growth was just how this zero g. condition if that's living organisms and to conduct experiments that can be carried out and humans but are possible on animals next to the bio program starting in one nine hundred seventy over

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 small golden jebel might not look like much of a cosmonaut nor is he the first animal in space but like the monkeys dogs and other residents that have gone before him he could help humans weeks the stars tom watson our team let's go. here on r.t. all business news with sharona. cologne 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 experts are optimistic about the oil price in two thousand and eleven but with many all majors diversifying their output with alternative energies

like natural gas some why this could hurt overall oil revenues jorge much of pick a global director of marker ports plots 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 the 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 for more diversity in its 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 feel pretty 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 for europe and now they have also the chance to add to that or to the market that will do the house some of

the debris but it has 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 the 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 can originate the fact that the share of gas revenues and the total structure total revenue structure for. oil and gas majors global made for us i think is increasing and while the oil revenues share is decreasing actually the main competition for gazprom in europe crowd is not from our oil and gas may first 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 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 but i know 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 stocks ended the year as separate entities the government has a unification plan ready but as i. reports the shareholder 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 if was consolidation in russia over this. kind of working together with our partner for a few years having a drink or a change in achieving the end of giving the community together and moving that
