a revolutionary chilled trip. to space. two cosmonauts make the first steps on the surface of mars. mission for. earlier in the program. we fail to provide a vision of society to which they feel they belong to both. western european leaders multiculturalism as a failure and a potential threat to security and solutions instead of criticism. maybe new power in egypt but tensions remain high and us applauding the complete journey to democracy some political experts warn it could be a recipe for disaster. from

a studio here in central moscow this is r.t. with you twenty four hours a day two cosmonauts have taken their first steps during a revolutionary experiment most of mounted by russian scientists even though it's a simulated mission researches all over the world agree that the project is an important scientific breakthrough you got a piece going off reports now and a huge step for mankind. italy's india. 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 already spent over two

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 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 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 a real spaceflight so there is no t.v.

no internet no radio show me the six of them and mission control with the from who me get these dealy messages a 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 but they will have to spend inside of that module a lot so perhaps the most difficult psychologically part of the experiment is still ahead. and that was r.t. correspondent reporting on the mars five hundred project well a little later we'll tell you how pills for pensive pictures are flying off the shelves in the u.s. some americans say it's yet another example that shows the pharmaceutical industry is about profit. story still to come but first european politicians are calling for a total overhaul of immigration policy as many leaders admit integration in the u.s. has failed and with a new wave of migrants following the political chaos in north africa the problem

only looks set to get more complex lottie's and in english has this report. 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 by 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 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 don't see 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 more get out of hand the situation remains far from being a fairy tale there have been some suggestions on how to ease the tensions. moans two hundred persons. split from all over the city. or the 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 is in the different issues of integration. the danes think the integration means becoming fully danish immigrants have to eat

drink and live just like the danes but those who come here think integration means . some money having their kids speak danish and going to danish schools. that's why there is 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 r.t. . the italian island of lampedusa has been inundated with thousands of migrants from tunis here over the past few days and they've been fleeing the country after its recent revolution authorities on the island say they're struggling with the sudden influx well the e.u. parliament's vice chair of foreign affairs told me earlier that italy has a growing problem with immigrants who refuse to integrate into society. we have. a mounting problem because. most immigrant.

accommodate to our rules they want to. leave me alone if muslims and this is a problem there is a. difficult. large number of people who are immigrants and integrate them in the society so. it's not the problem it's a european problem. egyptians have managed to oust president hosni mubarak but they the democracy they were hoping to get is in question the military generals who assume power frozen the civil rights of egyptians placing the country under martial law mubarak stepped down on friday passing on power to the armed forces which always backed his regime he's currently rumored to be ill possibly even in a coma on sunday the 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 the journalist action returns he says the egyptian people have had enough of foreign influence. well i think the people in tahrir square certainly don't want to see field marshal tantawi and. vice president 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 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 wonder how long it'll take before 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 action. the events in egypt are reverberating throughout the middle east on monday anti-government demonstrators clashed with police in terror on police fired tear gas to disperse the demonstrators who were throwing stones at the officers it's the first such clash in the country for over a year the day before the protest the u.s. state department began sending twitter messages to iranians in their native tongue professor marandi from the university of tehran says washington is losing ground in the region. the united states seems very desperate because this is a very desperate measure the americans know that they are losing out in the middle east and the middle east is becoming independent even its key allies are no longer

stable countries in regimes like jordan and saudi arabia and yemen it's not clear how long they will last united states is in serious trouble on all fronts it's in trouble in iraq and afghanistan and lebanon in tunisia in egypt the americans are desperately trying to bring about change in iran but the fact is that republic of iran is highly popular with a small group of people who rioted in downtown tehran today which are no more than a few hundred they constitute a small minority of iranians basically want their independence they want to remain independent and they're opposed to apartheid in palestine if the americans are able to come to terms with the reality in iran the iranians are quite willing to to move towards rapprochement. well r.t. caught up with prominent u.s. congressman ron paul to get his view on the latest events in egypt and he says that washington often tries to buy into revolutions allegedly to protect national

security but perhaps in reality with other aims. we're always involved on both sides here. if our puppet dictator can last we keep propping him up when we see the tide taint changing there i'm sure our cia is involved in the opposition they can be in earlier or later they try to pick up the pieces that 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 don'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 and stay involved and could be see american people that our national security will be threatened if we don't control these governments i just don't believe that. and you can watch the full interview with congressman ron paul in just over an hour from now here on r.t. the suicide bombers killed a policeman and we did four others in russia's southern republican dagestan

a little low these days fear no more there are companies that claim they have just the right pill for it canine prozac is one of many pet products in a very lucrative market but the pharmaceutical industry keeps growing some fear it's turning into a cash cow lauren lyster investigates if there's a conflict of interest when it comes to profits and quality. the most common things that we prescribe medication for in dogs are questionings ideas hoarders. project works great on dogs you heard it right doggie prozac a b. flavored version of the well known human anti-depressant government approved and being perscribe by veterinarians for canines in crisis there is a significant population of dogs that really have suffering from separation anxiety the drug company one of the largest is banking on that they believe up to seventeen percent of us dogs are suffering from this mental affliction it's an idea some

would scoff at i definitely understand being skeptical so is this really a quest to help feisty fido's or is it a sign of this company's desperate to keep up their profit margin doing things to keep the margins up even though the drugs that are important in the pipeline is diminish it turns out those companies don't need doggie drugs in order for critics to make that case medical researchers crunched the numbers and found the pharmaceutical industry now tops the defense industry as the number one de fraud or of the u.s. government that was a following that i didn't expect nor really never looked at before and it shows you how out of control the form of history is in some cases criminally out of control perhaps helping this industry go from selling forty billion dollars to two hundred thirty four billion dollars a year in prescription drugs over the last two decades companies have been cheating

and in danger in patients their biggest violations are overcharging the government by billions and illegally marketing their drugs for uses they are proven safe or effective for moral side the world headquarters of one of the largest offender one of the biggest criminal penalties that ever levied against any american corporation and. this drug giant pfizer their illegal practices included eventually hiring physicians to spread buzz about a drug telling their colleagues to prescribe it for a condition it wasn't approved for drug pushers that is a fair way of describing. difficulty g.b.u. or again and when it comes to the drug companies disease pushers may not be an unfair way of describing them either that's what one filmmaker found tracing a newly minted disorder female such as function itself was definitely something that the pharmaceutical industry really pushed for and had

a hand in creating and that's the conclusion cancer came to after following the process of a drug company developing female viagra she says only a small number of women need it but the company has other plans their marketing and the amount of money that they were pouring into it really is says that they're trying to sell this to the whole population restless leg syndrome and with commercials for prescription drugs airing on t.v. in the us companies are in a position to do just that you feel better with billions being made and not much to lose critics say even in the case of crime for this industry nothing is likely to change it lest people go to jail before age or much larger. because police will follow it is cheaper to cheat stopping short of nothing to find some syndrome someone or something new to medicate lauren lyster r.t. new york. well you can check out our website for the stories we're covering at the
