one welcome to you this is. just. well two cosmonauts have taken their first steps on mars during a revolutionary experiment masterminded by russian scientists even though it is a simulated mission research shows all over the world agree that the project is an important scientific breakthrough. reports on the huge step for mankind. italy's diego and russia's isle xander smiley and ski v. made their first steps on the surface of mars they installed the flags there they took the samples of the surface and measured the imaginary magnetic level of the

red planet of course this is a simulation but it is pretty real for the volunteers who spent over two hundred days in isolation during the simulation of the actual trip to the red planet just previously they were broken up into two groups one group stayed in the mothership simulator and two or three people chinese and italian and a russian volunteer they went to the martian surface they're going to spend around armont there and are going to conduct three or walks in total though after that they will be reunited with the whole team and will begin their simulation of the journey back home even though this is a simulation it's a real step forward. towards a mission to the red planet because scientists on both sides both in european space agency and in the russian space agency they say that before a real flight to the red planet it's possible hundreds and hundreds of various
9:03 am
tests and experiments are needed to be conducted this is definitely a massive psychological test for these people since these six men are locked in this scientific model absolutely isolated from the rest of the world with the limited communication even messages from mission control or received would be delays simulating a real space flight and actually russian the russian space agency has now announced that they see a real flight to mars possible in around twenty years so that kind of gives some time for some more tests and by. it is just really important who are these scientists who to see how people can live together and work together most importantly in isolated simulated conditions there even beam being given simulations of emergency situations which can also turn up during
9:04 am
a real spaceflight so there is no t.v. no internet no radio there's only the six of them and mission control with them from whom we get these dealy messages very difficult psychologically and also this is only middle of the mission since they still have to come back and that is going to be over two hundred more days that they will have to spend inside of that module a lot so perhaps the most difficult psychologically part of the experiment is still ahead. it's going off there reporting on the mars five hundred project well still to come here live later on r.t. dog prozac and criminal practices. to the whole industry in the united states and find out why some americans fear it's out of control. european politicians are calling for a total overhaul of immigration policy many leaders admit that integration in the e.u. has failed and with
9:05 am
a new wave of migrants following the political chaos in north africa the problem only looks set to get slightly more complex. reports. the concept of multiculturalism seems to be failing all around europe we fail to provide a vision of society to which they feel they want to belong oh this approach has failed utterly. my answer is clearly yes it's a failure. the heads of state are now admitting what many observers and radicals have been saying for some time mordecai tourism will only function if the people come into the country every job to own their own money and feel responsible for the for the community otherwise was jobless people and if they live a passive life with social welfare and the passive approach can sometimes devolve into extreme action denmark is home to more than half a million immigrants making up almost ten percent of the population or didn't see

it why danish town the birthplace of hans christian andersen one of the world's best known storytellers but the story unfolding here has nothing magical about it clashes between danes and groups of somali imposed union youth have rattled this neighborhood for more than a year locals say car burnings and violence between immigrants and police are a familiar sight one neighborhood to different worlds and their voices are being raised about doing something before tensions involves most. get out of here and the situation remains far from being a fairy tale there have been some suggestions on how to ease the tensions every time mons two hundred persons. split from all over the city. for help from the state and police and kick them out of the country we won't have any problems but some immigrants believe the main issue isn't the different issue of integration. the danes think the integration means becoming fully danish
9:07 am
immigrants have to eat drink and live just like the danes but those who come here think integration means earning some money having their kids speak danish and going to danish schools here that's why there's a discord so perhaps until this difference in expectations is resolved the cultural tensions in europe will persist but admitting that the problem exists may be the first step on the way to finding a solution it didn't go go r.t. . meantime brian could tell from the u.k. think tank the group who says that the growing threat of extremism in europe has forced politicians to be more frank about the failure of multiculturalism. the comments that were made by by david cameron and i think some of the other european leaders have i think predictably provoked some criticism from various groups but i think the question you've got to ask yourself is what is the risk of not doing
9:08 am
anything leaving the status quo and i think the reason these politicians have come out so firmly with a view which probably a couple of years ago would have been considered a to boot i think the reason they've done is because they think the risk of not doing anything is greater because we run the risk of a europe in which people of the muslim faith and perhaps of other groups feel separate they don't feel happy or part of europe and that can lead to feelings of extremism and in very rare cases but tragic cases people turning to terrorism and i think given the dangers of terrorism and extremism we're now seeing politicians tell it a bit more the way that they see it and i think there's probably widespread support for the view that's being put forward. and that was brought to tell from the u.k. i think tank both group here speaking to us from london just a bit earlier now still to come here in the program on r.t. a family murder but with a twist the story young girl about the killing of. the only thing she didn't expect

9:10 am
tahrir square certainly don't want to see field marshal tantawi and. vice president that they don't want these people in power people in tahrir square where you see the back of the army that was trained in the united states and we must remember more than three hundred dead thousand still disappeared the egyptians will remember who trained to be people that tortured killed so many of their relatives egypt's economy is in the doldrums it's in chaos a lot of those companies that are stationed there have been stealing the money so a lot of the egyptian people might see the masses of companies there that are enjoying huge privileges i wonder how long it'll take before a egyptians remember the idea of nationalization this is a failure of u.s. and european power they will remember that they don't embrace democracy and see the united states as any part of their liberation. when i was a journalist and author afshin rattansi speaking well he caught up with the

prominent u.s. congressman ron paul to get his take on the latest events in egypt he says washington often tries to buy into revolutions allegedly to protect national security but perhaps in reality with other aims in mind. we're always involved on both sides here if if our puppet dictator can lie as we keep propping him up when we see the tide taint changing then i'm sure our cia is involved in the opposition they can be in earlier or later they try to pick up the pieces it doesn't mean they have total control over you know we control the iranian situation we had the shah in there for a while but eventually the next revolution we didn't have control and then we end up with the ayatollah so long term i think it hurts us on the short term we will always try to buy the influence in the state involved and could we see american people that our national security will be threatened if we don't control these governments i just don't believe that.
