be a recipe. now two cosmonauts have taken steps on. revolutionary experiment by russian scientists now even though it's a simulated mission for such as all over the world agree that the project is an important scientific breakthrough. reports on the huge step for mankind. italy's india gold 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 imagine a magnetic level of the red planet of course this is a simulation but it is pretty real for the volunteers who already spent over two
11:02 am
hundred days in isolation during the simulation of the actual trip to the red planet just previously we were broken up into two groups one group stayed in the mothership simulator and two or three people a chinese an 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
11:03 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 give 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 a real spaceflight so there is no t.v.
11:04 am
no internet no radio this only the sixth of them and mission control with them from whom we get these dealy messages to 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. we're going to is going to their reporting on the mars five hundred project . coming away a little bit later here on r.t. doggie prozac and a criminal practices for the pharmaceutical industry in the united states and find out why some american spirits out of control. or european politicians are calling for a total overhaul of immigration policy as many leaders admit that integration in the e.u. has failed and with a new wave of migrants following the political chaos in north africa the problem
11:05 am
only looks to get more complicated and we're going to school 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 the law 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 more to culturalism will only function if the people come into the country have a 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 evolve 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 quite the nice 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 familiar sight one neighborhood to different worlds and their voices are being raised about doing something before tensions involves was get out of hand the situation remains far from being a fairy tale there have been some suggestions on how to ease the tensions every time bones two hundred persons. split from all over the city. with the help from the state and police and kick them out of the country 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
11:07 am
immigrants have to eat drink and live just like the danes but those who come here think integration means spending some money having their kids speak danish and going to danish schools that's why there's a discord. so perhaps until this difference in expected is resolved the cultural tensions in europe will persist but admitting that the problem exists maybe the first step in the we define you can solution if you go to school r t and meantime brian could tell from the u.k. think tank the group he says that the growing threat of extremism in europe has forced many 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 could do was yourself is what is the risk of not doing anything leaving the status quo and i think the reason these politicians have come
11:08 am
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 that 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 that's probably widespread support for the views being put forward and that was a broad cattell from the u.k. thinking the group we spoke to in just a just to put. well managed to oust president hosni mubarak but the democracy they were hoping to get is still in question the military generals who
11:09 am
have assumed power have frozen the civil rights over gyptian place in the country under martial law now mubarak he stepped down on friday passing on power to the armed forces which always backed his regime. to be possible even in a kind of there we have no confirmation and some little generals dissolved parliament and suspended the constitution they say they'll run the country for at least six months until elections can be held the government appointed by mubarak last month is still in place and is controlled by the generals western and especially american money funded the mubarak regime for decades and the journalist afshin rattansi he says the egyptian people have had enough for him. well i think the people in tahrir square certainly don't want to see field-marshal turn and. vice president that they don't want these people in power people in tahrir square want to see the back of the army that was trained in the united states and we must
11:10 am
remember more than three hundred dead thousand still disappeared and the egyptians will remember who trained the 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 their masses of companies there that are enjoying huge privileges i want to hello it'll take before a egyptians remember the idea of nationalization this is a failure of u.s. and european powers they will remember that they don't embrace democracy and see the united states as any part of their liberation. journalist afshin rattansi speaking there while many in egypt have been voicing their discontent that foreign force forces are playing in the country and a little bit later here on our t.v. people developers guests will be discussing how egypt before. it's really a red herring this question about whether the united states is involved we're
11:11 am
involved that's a reality we have to deal with that the question is how do we shape that involvement so that we do not. know what we should do under how do we help nobody is trying to undermine their leadership nobody is trying to undermine the leadership of the united states and the fact that they have their own interests every country has a right to have interest and to defend those interests but what the united states have been doing in egypt is not defending interests as in any other it has been foreign intervention they have this stabilized egypt they have caught up to the egyptians they have neutralized egypt egypt has not been allowed to be a sovereign country for three decades and this has got to end the egyptian people are making it very clear that we are reclaiming our own sovereignty. you can watch the full version of crosstalk in less than thirty minutes time right here on now let's look at some other world news in brief this hour the more than one hundred pro-government demonstrators have clashed with hundreds of students in
