together on the fact that. not the not the reason they begin to change is that they're going to keep coming back. for any. way. to sinister and she's got more from egypt as it happens you can follow what's happening there with a twitter updates all the details of the breaking developments happening there tonight from tahrir square i would succumbs and fresh updates on the protest log on to twitter you can find this odd t underscore call. hundreds of proposed to versa being blocked by israel in their attempts to reach garza by dozens were detained for questioning in tel aviv on arrival while the majority were prevented from even reaching tel aviv and european airports just last week you may. the terran flotilla of hundreds of companies from gaza was stopped from leaving the green port triggering this fresh attempt to ease the blockade partings post there is a ben gurion airport where she spoke to the only activist group crossed the israeli

border. dozens of activists are being interrogated as i speak to you here at ben-gurion international airport only a few have actually managed to trickle through and it's not quite clear how the israeli police and security have allowed them to go through because there are still hundreds of police and security officers both inside and outside the bank of an international now have it me back to latif of the palestine solidarity campaign and she is one of the few people who's actually managed to come through you on the phone with the activists who are being interrogated here at the airport what are they telling you. this telling me that they were taken from passport control as i spoke on the first they said the heavies would come again and they were about to be interrogated i actually think i literally slipped through the net just mean as far as i can tell there is only one of us there are forty or fifty people waiting hoping not to be deported or likely to be deported and this may be so it is up to

me to be their voice and to put forward the point of view especially of people in the u.k. but there are people from belgium and from france and scotland from all over the u.k. waiting to come through i don't know why netanyahu wants to whip people's passions up the whole time as if we were threat i mean look at me look at me i'm a british woman i can't deeply about peace and justice i care deeply about a just peace that both sides we all do and turn on yet netanyahu sees us as a threat he says us as a threat to the legitimization of israel how can we be a threat and yet he whips up these weighty secrets curity pouring all over the airport he gets the british police the french police to stop. coming out we never planned to demonstrate we always planned to be here and be here for this day and joy the the cultural activities of the palestinians on the west bank and truth with

the israelis as well but they you have it and it's true as far as we can tell that is the only activists to have actually made it through to the arrivals hall here and as i'm speaking to you there must be dozens of security officers i'm looking at there surrounding the area and she has managed to come through and talk to sara naughty. well you can have your say on what's been dubbed the fly by logging on to our web site r t v dot com you can take part in the latest poll if you like to it's always good to hear from you we're asking tonight whether pro palestinian activists will be able to convince israel to lift the blockade on gaza will this is what you say so far close to half of you say it would only happen if the activists arrive in overwhelming numbers over a quarter of you don't think israel would yield to any pressure fifteen percent of you think the activists can succeed because quote they have truth on their side. a minority of you twelve percent believe the blockade lifted if palestinians stop attacking israel thanks to both but also

latest. georgia claims the high profile photographers arrested in the capital tbilisi have been spying for a foreign state detained or accused of providing information to another country to the detriment of georgia's interests among them is the president's personal snapper as well as an employee of the european press photo agency the photographers deny the allegations and those arrests come as nine other people have been jailed for up to fourteen years for spying for moscow the russian foreign ministry says tbilisi's actions indicate the state of democracy and freedom of speech in the country meantime a number of the georgian opposition told r.t. that at least by claims are meant to foster anti moscow sentiment as a means of boosting president saakashvili to control. writes novels the continuation of. this is the may be for. the mystic and meaning i would be lying he she in power

because the second which we were. going through all her. explanation for. why george. why do. you always. keep. but he's going to get. russian agents or since. it's pretty up to date now on the big story in the u.k. making a lot of headlines where a former editor of the news of the world newspaper's been arrested today in connection with the phone hacking scandal at the country's biggest selling newspaper papers for my boy lead it has also been arrested on suspicion of bribing police the scandals prompted the prime minister to announce two inquiries into the ethics and practices of the british press one hundred sixty eight year old papers accused of hacking into the phones of thousands of targets including terror of the

dead soldiers politicians. rupert murdoch's news internationalism and the paper is set to close now after this sunday's final edition of the media analyst phil reeves who told us that although the scandal is a blow for the company it's strong enough to survive. i think something changed this week you know for decades british prime ministers have been on the needs to the to the murdoch press because they knew that when the sun which is his main daily newspaper here in britain when the sun supported a british politician running for prime ministership you know they want it and then you find on the next day you find the prime minister reading the sun looking like an idiot saying well this. you got me elected i mean so you've got this the meaning of british democracy is the diminishing of democracy really which the murdoch press was at but after that i think there was a for silence as well because important people needed the murdoch press and they couldn't be they couldn't attack it because of that and i think

a line was crossed. a very finely tuned business brain he has a lot of things going on now one of them is to purchase the largest satellite network in britain called b. sky b. and that decision is about to be approved by the government that was in jeopardy i think he felt that as a businessman he had to sacrifice the news of the world because it in terms of the whole news international it's a tiny part of or back but i tell you the most important thing bill in my view is that the political cast have been sucking up to rupert murdoch for so many years including prime minister david cameron he now has to stand back and say no i can't do it anymore it's gone too bad. still all the way through this is the latest in a rush to close a series of reports and i siberian is a venture that still changing lives today helping some people overcome the disability notice to regain the confidence to stand tall good story coming up for you. know a big day for mass masses final shuttle flight blasted off with up to

a million spectators witnessing the historic launch it's historic because it's the one hundred thirty fifth mission in the thirty year history of america's space program and its last experts have warned of a high chance of launch should be delayed by bad weather but me and the astronauts left earth with the delay of just about a minute i thought is going to treat you can report it was a poignant moment for those who devoted their lives to the proton story of those. empty shells that's what was once florida's thriving space coast. up to ten thousand people will be out of a job as soon as the last shuttle makes its final voyage back to earth home to many of the. kennedy space center workers rock which is on the verge of becoming a ghost town without the space program or pretty much nothing i mean this is what you know because your beach is built on the space program you know just a lot of you are going to be out of jobs sorry to be out of homes people are going on welfare left and right food stamps and city chris

a fully spent twenty three years with the shuttle launch team as an engineer with a plan to splice for its final mission it means the end of his career with nasa and the beginning of uncertainty a year ago he started looking for a new job to no avail i have applied for jobs and so far i haven't gotten any concrete responses there's not that many jobs out there for sure the u.s. scrapped its shuttle program and now wants the private sector to come up with ways to get astronauts to space several companies are working on new vehicles but it's not clear when they'll be able to deliver them one thing is certain though bill be able to hire only a fraction of the skilled space industry workers will be out of work soon this is the first shuttle ever it never made it to space but it was used to put tests before the columbia shuttles first launch into space in nineteen eighty one a total of five shuttles had been used for space missions since that two of them

were last thing tragic accidents a nine hundred eighty six and in two thousand and three those lawsuits and the skyrocketing price for each launch gradually led to the cancellation of the program but critics say it's hard to estimate the losses that the end of the shuttle program will bring about both for the space industry and the people involved i think it's a really bad thing for the united states to lose the skilled workforce it's going to be difficult to rebuild it for years the shuttle has been the only vehicle that could very crew and a massive load of cargo to space officials say one of the reasons the program was scrapped is that it's safer and cheaper to send cargo and people separately. something that russia for example has been doing for many years but whatever the reasons for scrapping the thirty year old program for those who devoted their lives to it is the end of their dream job it's kind of sad because i've already seen a lot of my friends go and nobody's there being more people that are probably never

see again it also means the end of a once vibrant scientific community that's grown up around the shuttle. r t. so there's a mixed feeling among those the people involved in the thirty year program i spoke to professor william allen on this sunday from frostburg state university of maryland he told me thinks the end of the space shuttle program could though mean you beginnings elsewhere but obviously it's going to have an effect on the people who are losing their jobs and and on the local economy there in florida but the other side of it is it does free up resources to go other places the truth of the matter is that there are going to be some very talented people on the market looking for work i know it's tough for them but also these people have skills that could be transferred elsewhere and that's going to be a net plus that's going to take a few years down the road but that's a net plus as i see it we need to do is get the government get to be

a rocker see out of the space program and let's see what the entrepreneurs can do but the problem is this that. in economy is not a game and resources are it when you're taught when you talk about using resources in ways that maybe we shouldn't be using and maybe they're too costly i think it's some point national pride and the space program because you really should go by the way i mean i've i'll be honest i have a lot more pride in apple in the things that they're doing now then i have in the space program. in turkmenistan recovery efforts are underway after a series of explosions the nomination in the city of. nearby buildings authorities say the incident took place at a fireworks warehouse was caused by summer heat according to local media reports have been up to two hundred casualties it's not clear if any would be killed and thousands of people were evacuated from the buildings immediately after the explosion which is that i mean issued from the burning who is scattered on the

a major player next tonight in our close of series we explore one doctor's mazing medical legacy. sort of exactly where we're heading to the region in southern siberia that's where in the middle of the twentieth century it became the center of soviet orthopedics with the surgeon there inventing a revolutionary method of bogus structuring codes later the medical breakthrough still being used to help people overcome their disabilities and of his exam avoid. the soviet union and russia gave the world many great inventions and what special about them is that the technology behind the snow house is often very simple very basic yet they remain in service for many many decades take this a use a rocket for example it was design back in the sixty's the design hasn't changed

that much yet to this day it's remains the most reliable and actually at this point of time the only means of transporting humans to the international space station but today we want to introduce you to another great invention of which proved just as durable and this is the elizabeth frame of the parada as it was first designed back in the fifty's but it still remains the main orthopedic technique for treating bone fractures all sorts of deformities and injuries as well as for a limp lengthening our next story is about that. for both of them it's about walking tall if you're old into gambit he's lagging left leg and twenty seven year old japanese engineer with lagging self-confidence i wish him to go on didn't choose his predicament very much did turn centimeters shorter than the average height for man in japan because without someone closer. used to hire me one of them told me directly but i was too short to deal with the clients could you just

already spend three months in this hospital and plans to stay for another four to add the coveted seven santa maters to his stature it may seem like a tall order but the actual surgery is fairly simple though painful invented by the famed soviet orthopedic is giving you is there of in the nineteen fifties these frames for initially used to treat fractures in deformities by cutting bones and slowly pulling them up or therefore stimulating tissue regeneration it was sort of was able to reshape arms and legs and people who thought they were crippled for life piecing together patients shattered bones in their shattered lives in the door when professing lazhar of design his first frame using bicycle parts sixty years later his invention is increasingly being used to help people who are eager to fracture their legs to become a few centimeters taller than the ultimate goal is still the same fixing somebody

is live both literally and figuratively about a third of patients admitted she was out of center now days seeking series three focus magic reasons most of them are men and most are not what you would call vertically challenged professor novick of who operated on many of them sas it usually comes down to a man's pride some of the first patient to turn to us with a leg length i mean a quest to meet his fifteen centimeters tall we still want to surgery because his partner was too than him we like to say that we need to break their legs in order to fix their head maybe nothing wrong with them from an orthopedic point of view but there is something psychological that prevents them from living their lives fully being happy and we fix it like lengthening surgeries are banned in many countries and even the will out there pressure expensive but in russia the entire course costs about one tenth of the similar package in the united states. financial considerations were one of the reasons that brought this washington state nature to

western siberia if his main motive for the surgery had to do with how he fared. in america advertise his one seventy five i was one sixty seven or one sixty eight and so eight centimeters would have brought me right to our very start is what is the average for women height isn't so important you know i think girl can be sure it's not a big deal with your guy it's like expect to be taller just before the operation moses matter a russian girl who found he's a regional hide quite in deering yet he still would want to have a disturbed jury adding seven more centimeters to his self-confidence she took told me the whole time you're crazy you're normal you're perfect. so now it's their call or your so what a compliment for somebody who's used to falling short of his own expectations sound like an artsy program the region where you know beauty is in the old if you're not

happy you're going to get it sort of i suppose now we've got all the day's news headlines coming up our special report as well to come in the next thirty minutes for you in this business next. hour welcome to our business program the south thanks for joining me russia has increased its annual crude oil production forecast to five hundred and nine million tons however the quality of russian oil products is still very low the country needs to modernize its refinery capacity and to put it is going to make sure it will happen to tell the courts. prime minister was obviously unsatisfied that rush of the world's biggest oil producer has such a weak refighting industry he says it's still as it was fifty years ago demand for high quality fuel in russia grows at double digit rates annually however refining hasn't caught up either in volumes or in quality experts say legislation russian

made it more profitable for oil producers to explore crude oil low quality oil products but now putin says the measures to reverse the trend will be taken. when you do we need to monitor the implementation of the modernization plans by the oil companies and if we don't meet their obligations the street will have the right to apply sanctions including the seizure of unreasonably of change. just to remind you in may of russia banned the export of high quality fuel the country will speccing gasoline shortage domestically as producers chose to exports more cashing in on the high oil prices now with the russian economy picking off and growing even faster than expected to months for high quality fuel is expected to grow at more than ten per cent annually and the prime minister made it absolutely clear producers will have to invest billions of dollars to more than eyes their refining

capacity and. that's how we look at the markets now crude oil dropped pairing a second weekly gain to the us that had fewer jobs than forecast in june which is well as much as two point three percent brant crude fell ninety nine cents from lights we've lost two dollars forty cents here stocks to sell below after the government said business is out of fewer jobs in june and over a year the unemployment rate rose to nine point two percent or is created only eight hundred thousand jobs last month a fraction of what economists expected banking stocks and loses the rest of the dow j.p. morgan chase and bank of america are both down. over one half percent european stocks ended up in lower as well after that week u.s. jobs data financial shares were under pressure especially in the peripheral markets ahead of european bank stress tests next week shares of commerce bank fell one point seven percent and deutsche bank was down one point four and in the retail sector shares of metro fell over two percent on paris shares of care for drop one
