stipulated stepson mas to mission control in moscow for the experiment replicating exactly the rigors of a real on line return journey to the red planet. you saw in russia and around the world this is an see with me thanks for joining us to suicide bomb blasts have rolled the southern russian republic of dagestan killing at least two policemen and injuring dozens nor the explosions went off just hours apart in the village of good day and brings us all the details. the first bomb was detonated at about eight pm and those searches by a female suicide bomber he tried to enter a police station in the village and issues coming through the security checkpoint had been stopped and at that point that's nature the explosion now we know that
6:02 pm
that killed one police officer and injured many more and then less than a few hours later at ten forty pm a male suicide bomber set of the car bomb also killing another police officer and we've seen that that's a tactic of some says i bought this to detonate the first explosion because he then had the investigators and the people help take the stage and then just take a second explosion a few hours later because causing even more damage with a extended people there the scene we've heard these two suicide bombs now leaving eight twenty people injured and of course of us case now we're working to try to start to see exactly who these suicide bombers are not the lossless suicide bombing the day the plane thirty six lives we see security in the country really big stuff topic but we heard they needed the also the attire they present the faded and the message yard and saying this wasn't just about ensuring that security was tightened at these major trouble hugs that really these systems were put in place countrywide
6:03 pm
we've seen a major push to ensuring this is happening which i think carried out throughout the country in regions such as the good stuff is interesting to note that when these suicide bombings went off as he said the first one the female suicide bomber that she tried to enter the police station but had been stopped at a checkpoint a potentially there could be many more lives lost perhaps not so security measures are being put in place coming into a fake but of course they're really going to be wanting to know now what more could be done to try and find out whether these people could have been stopped at an earlier stage as he said the security measures in this country now be watched very closely that we lost a child staying on present status giving advice on how best to make sure all the systems are in place to ensure that terror attacks like this aren't a common occurrence. there are calls among european politicians for a new approach to immigration after the german chancellor and other leaders declaration that multicultural integration in the u. has been a failure they sure remains high on europe's political agenda with continued migration from increasingly volatile north africa. small. the
6:04 pm
concept of multiculturalism seems to be failing all around europe we failed to provide a vision of society to which they feel they want to belong oh this approach has field. my answer is clearly yes it's a failure yes usually. they have states are now admitting what many observers and radicals have been saying for some time more to culturalism we're 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 stream 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 a nice town the birthplace of hans christian andersen one of the world's best known
6:05 pm
storytellers but the story unfolding here has nothing magical about it clashes between danes and groups of somali and palestinian youth have rattled this neighborhood then 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 was get out of hand the situation remains far from being a fairy tale story there have been some suggestions on how to ease the tensions if we take those two hundred persons. split from all over the city. with 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 mission of integration. to get other dames things like integration means becoming fully danish immigrants have to eat drink and live just like the danes but those
6:06 pm
who come here think integration means spending some money having their kids speak danish and going to danish schools. but that's why there's a discordian about that 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 and new ways. to finding a solution. arty. and danish columnist. told us that the gracious policy has failed to address the more complex aspects of people integrating into. the governments not facing the facts standing up to reality standing up to the social phenomena popping up throughout europe in sweden and denmark as well you can you can't blame a whole. group of people for not doing this or that but you can you can blame the politicians for not dealing with the problems not not turning them into subjects
6:07 pm
can be criticized and and deep it is that we've allowed that too much multiculturalist. being represented in the public sphere and now we've gone gone even further to to. practice legislation against hate speech against the defamation and limiting the free speech and and the soul which is european we have to start opening up to criticism and start forming a new policy. gyptian is hell ousted president hosni mubarak but what's next for the country is yet to be determined with the military taking the place of the mubarak regime questions remain about whether egyptians will get the democracy they demanded mubarak hundreds power to the armed forces on friday and in thirty years of dictatorship backed by the last and the west the supreme military council has since dissolved parliament and suspended the constitution under which mubarak ruled the miniature sources have told opposition leaders they've ordered
6:08 pm
a new constitution to be drafted by legal experts which will be put to the people by referendum within two months but while the generals seem to be moving quickly to set the country on the path to civilian rule and middle east expert all of a mile says the army's plan plans for egypt are still not fully clear. we know from bitter experience that revolutions are going to go can go terribly wrong and the fact is that egypt faces appalling problems. the same problems essentially that it was facing in the mubarak era as the same problems that other countries in the region are also facing economic problems over rising food prices unemployment underemployed you can solve problems of corruption problems of ingrained habits of brutality in the security forces all these things can perhaps be put right but they can't be put right overnight now the army in egypt is secretive and probably nobody outside the the egyptian army knows exactly what their intentions are of course but plenty of other examples where revolutions have been hijacked by the military what
6:09 pm
we need is to see which way the military are going to take egypt and that for the moment we don't know. that was retired diplomat and middle east expert on of the miles. shock waves from the uprising in egypt out of evaporating throughout the middle east on monday large crowds of anti-government demonstrators clashed with police in taiwan police fired tear gas to disperse stones for having demonstrated. a clash in the country for the day before the project management began sending twitter messages to rallies in their native tongue professor said mohammad marandi from the university have tehran says however that washington is losing ground in the region. the united states seems very desperate because this is a very desperate measure the americans know they are losing out in the middle east and the middle east is becoming independent even its key allies are no longer stable countries and regimes like jordan and saudi arabia and yemen it's not clear
6:10 pm
how long they will last the 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 the small group of people who rioted and downtown tehran today which are no more than a few hundred they constitute a small minority the iranians basically want their independence they want to remain independent apartheid in palestine if the americans are able to come to terms with the reality in iran the iranians are quite willing to move towards rapprochement. to cosmonauts have taken their fast hats on the red planet all part of a historic simulation led by russian scientists to replicate be exact condition for a return journey to mas he has more on their knowledge five hundred mission from star. italy. and russia's isle xander.
6:11 pm
they made their first steps on the surface of mars the 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 three people cheney's an italian and a russian volunteer they went to the martian surface they're going to spend around a month 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
6:12 pm
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 dealing with a similar. being 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 but it's just really important who are these
6:13 pm
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 there's only the six of them and mission control with the from whom the you get these messages very difficult psychologically and also this is only the 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. that was always his correspondent is going over for him though and then laws five hundred project. russian officials have dismissed claims that these sentence

6:17 pm
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 ever looked at before and it shows you how out of control before the glow 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 or over the last two decades companies have been cheating and endangering patients their biggest violations are overcharging the government by billions and illegally marketing their drugs for uses they are proven safe or effective for while side the world headquarters of one of the largest offenders one of the biggest criminal penalties that ever levied against any american corporation. involved this drug giant pfizer their illegal practices included a centrally hiring physicians to spread buzz about
6:18 pm
a drug telling their colleagues to prescribe it for a condition it wasn't approved for drug pushers. we shrug and difficulty g.b.u. organization 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 sexual dysfunction itself was definitely something that the pharmaceutical industry really pushed for and had a hand in creating that's the conclusion cancer came to after following the process of a drug company developing a female by agra she says only a small number of women who need it but the company has other plans their marketing and the amount of money that they were pouring into it really says that they're trying to sell this to the whole population restless leg syndrome and with commercials store prescription drugs airing on t.v. in the us companies are in
6:19 pm
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 less people go to jail worse before age or much larger. companies will follow her stopping short of nothing to find some syndrome someone or something new to medicate lauren lyster r.t. new york. coming up next our interview with u.s. congressman ron paul and he told off his dinner washington was largely to blame for the comings of the mubarak regime and was behind the revolution that toppled.
6:20 pm
congressman ron paul is talking to us here in washington d.c. about the situation in egypt the future of the conservative movement and possible presidential run in two thousand and twelve congressman thank you so much for being here i understand paul let's start off with egypt as usual you have a very different take on the situation in egypt something that many lawmakers most lawmakers aren't even talking about you say that this is our thirty year mistake that this this mass happened because of us foreign policy what do you mean by that we had a lot to do with mubarak being in power and staying in power like we subsidize them we own them these are puppet dictator he does what we tell him because he gives so much money he's gotten probably sixty to seventy billion dollars and i understand
6:21 pm
his family probably has sixty or seventy billion dollars stashed away in swiss accounts in other places around the world so we've known him and and we're supposed to get you know perpetual peace and cooperation but in times after a time the people rebel against this they know about it and they see dictators as being nothing more than public you know as a style government and they rebel and that's what they've done so even though there's been stability and we could afford the over those years now there's no stability and we can't afford it anymore so the sooner we quit this foreign policy subsidizing people they say well he's our only friend if we have to pay that much money for a friend he's not much of a friend the way i figure but your critics would say look we have to look out for the best interests of the united states therefore we can not have a noninterventionist foreign policy intervention hasn't helped us very well. much at all because if you look at how many americans have been killed in korea and
6:22 pm
vietnam in the middle east and around the world and how many others how much collateral damage there's been and how many civilians are being killed around the world i would say the hasn't done us a bit of good in this helped move us toward our own bankruptcy so i don't believe our our national security required it i think we're less safe for it the threat of terrorism is related to our foreign policy so i feel less safe because we're over there i never feel safer for the foreign policy that we have today here's something that shocked a lot of people this is something that you had mentioned the telegraph reported on it it was part of the wiki leaks revelations the fact that the united states was actually supporting some of these activists that we saw on the streets for several years now how do we make sense of that where we're always involved on both sides if if if if our puppet dictator can last 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 and later they try to pick up the pieces that doesn't mean they have total
6:23 pm
control you know we controlled 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 and stay involved and can be seen merican people that our national security will be threatened if we don't control these governments i just don't believe that a lot of folks over at the conservative political action conference isn't disagree with a lot of your especially when it comes to foreign policy and now especially this year with go proud being included in the conference and you winning the straw poll last year there's this sort of fear as as they say that sea pack is becoming more libertarian why do you think that for some folks that's such a dirty word some people who call themselves conservative are big government conservatives so my opposition they're big government conservatives and big government liberal us all. libertarians and constitutional conservatives who say they will follow the constitution we believe in personal liberty and they come from
6:24 pm
our own right tradition there is a tradition in the republican party that objects to us policing the world so although you hear that and they've had lots of influence these last several decades there's still a lot of influence in the past at least by republicans who believed in in limited government and a noninterventionist foreign policy what do you think their ideal america looks like their conclusion is because we're exceptional and so special that we have this neo jacob in ism where we have this moral obligation to spread our goodness even if we have to use force we reject the notion of using force to move people survive and change the world so that's where the separation is a big government conservative and more libertarian constitutionalist because we believe we can persuade people rather than forcing people to accept our views and act the way we do and you know see pac is usually a platform or perhaps a task for future presidential candidates are you going to be one of them and
6:25 pm
twenty truthfully. no decision to make i am undecided and some days i am sympathetic to the idea because i have a lot of supporters urging me to then there are other days i think well you know maybe i have better things to do or other things to do so i am still undecided i have a couple months to make a decision i don't know if you got a chance to see this but there was an article circulating on the internet amongst your supporters and the title of it was a radical idea ron paul runs as a democrat in two thousand and twelve and if we listed all of the quote unquote good reasons as to why you should run as a democrat for example your anti-war views the fact that you want to end the drug war and many republicans associate you know smoking a joint with him where ality i have you ever considered that running as a democrat. but then i realize it's improper to go but it would be great to do it because it would. just just drive the progressives nuts because they would be agreeing with me but they wouldn't be able to stand the idea of supporting somebody
6:26 pm
like me because i don't address i don't endorse their principles of redistribution of wealth you know from one group to another so there's a limit they might agree with me on civil liberties and war and they went in and we could expose the. the conflicts and the inconsistency of a president because he has the endorsement of the progressives but they get annoyed because you stop them promoting lowering when doing about the drug war and all these things and we call moats a patriot act and endorsers assassinations and secret prisons nothing really changed so that would that will really stir the hearts of all dress and the progressives would say oh yeah he doesn't want to give more food stamps to the american people and you know it's back to that but it's an interesting thing it's fascinating to think about congress and policy only thanks so much thank you.
