for the. we've got. the biggest issues get

a human voice face to face with the news makers. i stayed more than four hundred people remain stranded off russia's far east coast after their ships are frozen solid to get the rescue up that is by bad weather and they can like. we were able to contact the captain of one of the stranded vassals find out all the details in just a few moments. hard working hard at times with guns unemployment rate so high people are finding it increasingly difficult to get a job despite israel easing is blockade allen. legal residency because they're

muslim and well they had beards and so make the f.b.i. just started twisting up all the words people saying american muslims claim that facing daily prejudice as more and more of that compound troops fallen victim to islamophobia with nine eleven still taking people's minds. international news life from moscow this is all see with me thanks for joining us more than four hundred people are waiting to be released from three ship stranded in ice off the russian far east coast almost a week has passed since they sent a distress signal but the ice is so sick advanced ice breakers only managing to move at less than walking pace and as your piece can also cause the weather is not helping efforts either. this is definitely a difficult situation we're talking about over four hundred people they 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 plus a major rescue operation is underway and the crews of these vessels do seem to be in in good will and 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 waiting for the icebreaker with bated breath it's captain doesn't advise us to try and break free of the icehouse else he said we should wait for their arrival it's expected to be here tomorrow don't we celebrated the new year here on the ship everything was fine it's just sad we didn't have any work where it seek to do our job but people we had an amateur concert for the new year as soon as the ice breaker frees us we'll get back to work we miss it already but i worry about us we have food and water it's warm we

have t.v. and radio we were also able to contact one of the crew members from one of the free vessels he docked 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 december thirtieth initially when these vessels became stranded in the icy waters now our weather forecasts say that another storm is actually approaching so this may hamper 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 out and were also able to contact one of the coordinators off the rescue operation as you know it is hard to predict how rapidly the ice breakers 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 m.o 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 mirrors deep water weather conditions have to be to create that but of course the rescue operation is going to be monitoring the situation and will report on the story as it continues. it's been two years as israel's military offensive in gaza but little has changed for the better for its residents with unemployment around forty percent people there are forced to come up as many ways as they can to make a living and even despite israel easing its blockade last summer finding a job is no easy mission ati's policy of reports. a group of gaza women are breaking new ground literally. they've signed up to workers ditch diggers to help

support their families but i've learned the work is very hard but life is even higher than 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 and their hands but barely my family has no one to take care of us and we need money that's why i'm forced to dig ponds. 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 that my husband has to provide for two families casein 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 grieving

besides using this route with a multitude futurity so i scream. they survived by selling cigarettes sweets and mobile phones madhu abu wider makes a living repairing watches. looking at them with both found this 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 east 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 cross into israel and their economy remains idle police fear r.t. israel. and coming up in just a few moments we travel to the market to visit

a place dubbed a european utopia. welcome to the world's longest existing free society where things get done for the people by the people who are deep isn't christian yet a country with a country. and helping humans reach for the stars rodin's aid russian scientists and unique space research taking man ever closer to god that story is coming up later this hour. an american muslims claim they're suffering from a wave of islamophobia they accuse authorities of failing to stamp our prejudice caused by the september eleventh attacks saying it has made arab immigrants the number one target for the f.b.i. also has marina partner i met some of them. when most american girls turned thirteen they celebrate with a party oh my dreams lately and i am the daughter. of you but lila duca isn't like most the teenager spent her birthday speaking about

her father her uncles and her frustration with her home country they got arrested mostly because they're muslim and well they have beards so like the f.b.i. to start of that twisting up all the words he was saying was words are all too familiar to the 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 many criticize as entrapment no i'm not that is because they use it now that. the chairman of the memphis says they destroy only roads and maybe like me this whole ocean is like. no one no no not to look cool maybe people you know sitting in the gym should he not parveen son a pakistani american was convicted for plotting to bomb herald square a plot the f.b.i. admits was initiated by

a father. turning thirteen in the land of the free she's been forced to doubt more and more every day . r.t. we are. in the us the new congress has been sworn in as have gone to the republicans who seized control of the house of representatives in november's midterm elections to. health reform and to push for spending cuts the project has put out have to opposition to the president in the past months as it stalled the ratification of a key arms reduction treaty with russia but experts believe the republican promise about change is not all that cracked up to be. i'm not expecting much positive not not the kind of positive change i would like to see i don't think that's going to happen with republicans in power the alternative is to get serious about cutting military spending to get serious about cutting entitlements like medicare and

social security there was a bipartisan commission that looked at that and made recommendations that would actually cut spending but i don't think that republicans have the courage to implement those things they talk about it. many years ago back in one thousand nine hundred four i was a republican myself i was excel idea excited about newt gingrich and the contract with america and all the republicans that were swept into power and as soon as they got into power they started raining again on their promises to cut government they started letting people down republicans will pretend they're trying to cut taxes or cut government and claim that democrats are being a roadblock to it and your only solution is to vote for more republicans democrats have used the same tactics when it comes to various programs if you don't elect more democrats the republicans will stop a so yes they will be playing politics. by the way out he dot com has lots more

news blogs and analysis for you and has some a waterline right now out for that event to throw for three tried by the country's foreign ministry and more official talks but now being dangerous dispute over pay. and the outrage. the devil really does web prada with their lives addicted to buying in big find out what fries pollock's pay for that obsession. a self-proclaimed stage in copenhagen where people have been building what they see as a perfect society is on the threat local authorities are thinking of crushing on the community which has lived by its own rules for years irina going to the details are you tired of pushing papers around nine to five are you sick of boasting 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 squatted in forming military barracks there was to do this is cited from scratch where the only government would be the residents themselves new home ownership no violence it's a coup of community forged by the fifteen hundred strong locals perfect for people like filmmaker who has lived since it was founded if you have this ability to administer yourselves and 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 who 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 shouldn't know what's around the next quarter 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 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 speculation and interest and money in this place but that's something company you can 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 rights again it's the privatization ideas i don't want christie added to privatized 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 a proper fight it even goes carty christine you copenhagen denmark. let's take a brief look at some of the stories making headlines around the world letting us.

down. to the northeastern part of the country water levels in the city of rockhampton are expected to peak as the river that is predicted to reach its second highest level of records hundreds of hundreds of houses have been evacuated by roads and airports are closed more than two hundred thousand people have been affected in the area larger than france and germany combined the quisling flown floods have left at least ten people dead since november. firefighters in the netherlands are battling a massive blaze at a chemical plant near the city of rotterdam a state of emergency has been declared and people who live near the area are being warned to stay indoors some four hundred thousand liters of toxic chemicals are stored at the plant the cause of the fire is not yet. need to know more about space ask rodents russian scientists have turned to the original space explorers to solve the puzzle surrounding the effects of a mission to mars they've enlisted the animals to float around earth and help

humans understand what the distant borders might hold down bottom of reports. it's fifty years since the first human going 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. for work in the city of which the animals live shorter lives 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 are the into tutored biomedical problems moscow these rodents are helping solve space riddles being in orbit can have big effects on our bodies and although man's been in space for decades there's still much that we need to know if we want to travel further away from politan earth. 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. the biome program starting in one nine hundred seventy over a dozen trips of take an animal's 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 research as he'll did the galaxy. and then and when they need 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 orbit they'll spend thirty days floating round earth after which cell come back and be examined to see how it changed. and they'll be the as of all those pioneering animals that went before the bike like the first space traveler and stroll current belka who followed a few years later. we need

a specialist in aerospace medicine and biology. to be ruled again with animals as a matter of fact animals blazed the trail of 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 which the stars tom watson r.t. let's go. back with the headlines in about ten minutes time so the u.s. says washington will pull all of its troops out of afghanistan by twenty fourteen quote come hell or highwater well down but they are going to foreign minister to find out if the country will be ready to stand on its own two feet by that.

afghan foreign minister saying let us all thank you very much for being with us today i played. mr foreign minister when soviet forces withdrew from afghanistan

you have been publishing a resistance journal for eighteen years what did you and your compatriots expect for your country's future back then as usual afghanistan wanted to be free independent and sovereign country to be friendly with its neighbors good region and have his own destinies that are on her and the something that you wanted and that's something that afghans always will how would you describe the state of your nation as of today afghan people have been at war for the last thirty years since nine eleven two cards and one when international community came to afghanistan to liberate afghanistan from defeat of the taliban. afghanistan is facing tremendous challenges to rebuild itself. because for thirty years for the country which solidly was a poor country has been completely destroyed so the challenges hard rebuilding the country giving the normal life toward people are our children go to school to have

a health care target you cation. that is what you are trying to do now who would or friends british defense chief general sir david richards said that nature should prepare for another thirty forty years to stay in afghanistan which makes a mockery of their plans transition in two thousand and fourteen why do you think need to change that strategy and do you think that strategy defeating the tribal opposition was right in the first place number one it's not a tribal position it is a fight against terrorism and extremism and the tribal chief in the tribal people of the first victim of terrorism which are being killed or to. date of two thousand and fourteen afghan proposal president karzai is the first inaugural speech in the second term signal afghanistan should take the responsibility of its own security starting by two thousand and eleven. and if an issue by two thousand and fourteen

that's been proposed an adopted in london and kabul conference by international community and to be concretized and had the summit in lisbon that's a real things that afghanistan should be in the hands of afghans and the security of afghanistan is the responsibility of the afghans so starting by two thousand and eleven and finishing by two thousand and fourteen the afghan national security forces will be in charge of security of afghanistan and the remaining force of international community need to or not there will be supporting force not a fighting force as of today over two and a half million russians are addicted to afghan heroin this is where mr why has your administration and your allies failed to tackle the poppy production first of all the poppy production in afghanistan have to result of thirty years of war and lawlessness and despair of the afghan people who do new tomorrow he's going to be a life or not you know security for their future. secondly when he came to our back

to afghanistan in two thousand and eleven to two thousand and one two thousand and two don't have any institution to fight it no police no judicial system no army and in that will take time before you can put. in place but the fight there is not quite dick is also one of the priority of afghanistan because afghanistan will be first of all that suffer first before the other will suffer from it then you are not taking the benefit of the doubt because the money produced by the traffickers will go outside afghanistan and not stay in afghanistan thirty years forces have been accused of building black prisons in your countries where your citizens have been illegally detained and tortured. her the widely documented military excesses against your countrymen and your shoe of president has been an issue an issue that has created tension between united states and afghanistan there are two or three issues that has created tension and it will be sure have. detainees the issue of

civilian casualties division do issue of the night raids in the house this issues has been discussed the very frank and friendly manner i think we are in the right part to solve soon in the beginning of two thousand and twelve afghanistan will be charged off between it's all about afghanistan at the beginning of this this. taking charge of detainees and we are working with our lives to reduce the minimum then we need the syrian casualty but also issues of ninety eight that should be done by afghan national security forces more and more afghan forces will be in charge of to come but less than this would be this kind of problems actions have taken place since demeter led invasion both sat fraudulent with the rigging with results published only two months after the poll what do you say to those who are claiming you and your allies are planning an unsustainable political

system afghanistan is a democratic system afghanistan after thirty years of war and lawlessness no government practically were different kind of government has now system to democratic process is taking root as you know you cannot make democracy in one day in your country especially in a country did you know war for fifty years so i think that there are probably going to be a problem and i think the problem on election is not only in a specific in afghanistan a lot of countries even more developed countries have hope has had problem in the election but the process is going on and people are now living in democracy that's the reason people are complaining millions of people in a very difficult condition of security when to vote a lot of women for the first time in afghanistan are winner in the election the big men a lot of place it's at. good news with afghanistan but afghanistan cannot be so it's

a long war and nine years as a foreign minister thank you very much for this interview and i wish you and your people every success in achieving peace and democracy in your country. soon which will brighten. song from months to. start totty dot com.
