towed by. two icebreakers they were up against harsh weather conditions another supply ship with more than three hundred crew on board is the last to be freed trapped almost a fortnight from other vessels have been rescued over the last week and let's get the details now from sarah crew saw the stricken ships to more navigable waters now . we know that the two ice breakers are about three that journey towing this refrigerated vessel to the most they've got about another thirty kilometers to go then of kools. come back and try and retrieve that supply vessel now we know that when they get their refrigerator vessel to the a pool so they've got other smaller icebreaker. waiting to take that that they can so not return journey will they'll need to be to get supply fit for a. three hundred crew aboard. one of the original three ships who
12:11 am
did the rescue on december thirtieth so the crew aboard that ship has now been stuck in the ice but. obviously every i'm very eager to get the situation we need to the emergency services have now dispatched a helicopter that picked up a hydrologist off one of the icebreaker. and he'll know that may be up with that helicopter looking at the ice they hate being able to analyze. it to help these two icebreakers mate to bring back to the supply ship and to getting it very. quanta while for the rescue vessels to plow through the thick ice do you know how long the return journey will actually take. this is that it's very hard to pinpoint. how long it will be until the rescue mission is completed that has been a very drawn out process they come up against these adverse weather conditions the ice break is really how they work. it's incredibly late it's about not minus
12:12 am
nineteen at the may even go full swinson this incredibly because they've been having to deal with now it's taken since yesterday to get the refrigerator vessel tell us about the way to the water in the thinner ice as they possibly another day maybe the end of today the actually get that free but then of course they've got to make that rich journey to get to the supply vessel and that supply vessel is going to be the most difficult to retrieve it's an incredibly large ship and actually costing around fifty thousand dollars a day every day but it's not working we stand a lot of questions being all about what these vessels were doing in the area the current day where they got stuck his name for being a very dangerous very narea very clear water areas the ice. always very thick now we know that the adverse weather conditions that this time of year has made even was that at the moment is the area fishing be picking up the tab for this rescue
12:13 am
operation of course is now it is thirteen they say causing a huge amount of money and we know that once the operation is over looking for the companies those to see whether they've actually taken it but in sending the ship into this area with the full rules out of schools the main focus right now is really on getting their refrigerator to not take the water getting the supplies. here so do keep us updated on sarah for reporting thank you. see advice to blow snow a few minutes to eastern siberia. getting around one of the coldest regions of the planet is not a return it's going to show in time listening to your couture and coming up we'll show you how it's done. twenty two year old man charged with attempting to assassinate a u.s. congresswoman two brothers could face life in prison or the death penalty if convicted the court ordered. without bail is accused of barking in

a shooting rampage outside a supermarket in the state of arizona democrat gabrielle giffords was shot in the head remains in critical condition. this week six. p.r. consultant this is the. most politicians to distance themselves from the public. there's going to be so much more scrutiny for people going to public events the average congressman for years has received death threats these are usually just from kooks and not taken very seriously well now they take on a whole new light and i predict many members of congress are going to be much more skeptical about public speaking events they're going to want the trappings of a presidential speaking event presidents have these elaborate security mechanisms they have security guards secret service they have metal detectors to detect guns so you know unfortunately it's going to really shut down
12:15 am
a lot of the communication voters have with their elected officials because elected officials in america are now running scared americans have passionate love affair and it's basically politically impossible for any politician to try to propose limiting handguns and just recently rules were rewritten to let people bring guns into schools in arizona so that is an extraordinarily difficult political challenge because the gun lobby basically controls congress in america and the legislatures as well so it is going to be tough what i do predict is you're going to see some change in the rhetoric of american politicians. and the war activists david swanson names american mass media promoting violence as the answer to solving society's problems. but we do condition people to engage in this kind of violence in our wars and occupations and then we don't on condition them to live again back home but
