leader when i read a trip to russia. and iran files a lawsuit against russia over its refusal to supply s three hundred missiles saying they don't fall under a u.n. resolution preventing weapons in its. life from moscow this is r.t. with me. the man a russian congressman progress has crashed in eastern siberia failing to reach its target it launched from a baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan on a wednesday morning and was due to dock at the international space station on friday. now joins us live more details on this. but as far as we know rory in its three hundred twenty fifth second of flight this progress module some sort of

a soyuz rocket which could launch from the baikonur cosmodrome. suffered an engine failure and that meant that the rocket essentially tumbles but so worth it in a mighty great bang in the far east in the altai region. in the east of russia it's said that some people could feel all register that that impact up to one hundred kilometers away however no one was hurt it must be stressed that on the ground no one was around for around forty kilometers and there was no crew on board as non-man vessel so no one's actually been hurt in this explosion where the problems come in is that this was carrying up to three tons of fuel and food supplies for the crew for the crew on the international space station and it's fear that worst crew may have to leave the international space station is currently six of them are there because there might not be enough supplies for them for them to last with that current crew number. you see with this but it's not exactly the first place

recently and. it's not last december was the first of four spec failures in russian spacecraft the globe navigation network three of its satellites crashed into the into the sea last december in february a ministry of defense satellites stopped working properly and in all this year just a few days ago in fact a newly launched satellite went off orbit and went off the radar screens so this is the fourth era as it were in the russian space program made all the more important by the fact that the u.s. has just retired very recently its last space shuttles and it will be having stopped those missions the international space station is now reliant. on soyuz rockets fired up from baikonur so much cause for concern because of this because of this crash all right. thanks very much.

of course i will be keeping you up to date on the situation keeping us posted fully here and you can always find more on our web site of course that's our dot com. rebels now control colonel gadhafi is fortress in the central tripoli but violent clashes continue throughout the capital however in the u.s. the pentagon says it has another concern the security of sites known to contain stockpiles of chemical weapons including you raney and asked james corbet from the center for research on globalization and wonders why libya's new government is not being trusted to deal with. perhaps it presupposes the idea that the stockpiles are unsafe in the hands of the rebel forces and would be safer in the hands of the nato forces whereas the people who have so far been involved in siege in tripoli and killing tripoli's civilians in tripoli have been beaten into the side so i think the question is really who are the people would to be concerned about having access to those weapons i would imagine that that if there was any danger to be had it

would be obviously in the proliferation of those weapons as in early july it was quoted as saying that he would be willing to strike in europe if if tripoli was was attacked so i guess that is a possibility it seems to be on the table but certainly it's unclear to me whether you could weapons would be safer in the hands of gadhafi forces or the terrorists i think ultimately perhaps getting rid of these types of weapons would be the ultimate goal for in terms of peace and stability however you want that it's working towards up to one hundred billion dollars of frozen assets to the new transitional government some say that for a government of barely six months all that's simply not ready to handle such cash or anything. certainly i think it would be foolish to hand that sum of money over to a transitional council which has yet to demonstrate that it has the support of the majority of the country and and even by their own standards even at recent meetings obviously true or libya's very much divided along tribal and since you know end of the dozens and dozens of different tribes represented in the in libya only only less than half of them actually claim to be in support of the true transitional

council so so there's a deep divisions going on in libya right now and i think it would be very foolhardy to release those types of funds to a transitional government which so far has really only demonstrated its interest in securing boyle contracts with foreign and western companies. meantime the leader of libya's national transitional council and gibril has begun a tour of europe to secure funds for his new government will meet with french president nicolas sarkozy in paris and daniel based on reports from france there's much more than just democracy on the table. fraud spills local was the first power to recognize libya's rebels the first to pull become tree and noble first in talks with rebel leaders for ms the island shapiro says victory gives him great inspection opposition m.p. jack lang everyone to be thankful that inspired action at the united nations

corporations in states that voted for you in the intervention of rubbing their hands one of the first. members of a french team. who. was a river sensitive off the. continent and it is not the. french all drawn towards hall has been named as this was a big winner of rebel all from a go go history to look brazil russia and china for quote political issues there are three states refused wrong sanctions against gadhafi those nations had contracts with the former regime a russian official says quote we've lost libya completely it is well known that it is or will fall that these so-called position government has promised to give the old from france officially claims its war mission is over but analysts tippit to secretly stay you'll be in libya make sure profits only maintaining

forces. presence in libya even though it's not resolution so it's going. but keeping troops in the country means heavy costs trade all the latest polls the . most french people now oppose the military intervention this in p.c.'s food the bloodshed and the hefty price tag to deal with it now the prospect. of war is far from over and this invasion is already costing much more than we could back see is a growing that libya's new leaders are to do with the peace. points to the global's murder last month of the military chief general yunis experts warn widespread rebel looting and executions beachfronts these problems we have only just begun. r.t. paris the future of libya now appears to hinge on the capacity of the transitional

council to establish law and order and scott bates the vice president at the center for national policy believes it will be much harder to establish the ability than it was to remove gadhafi. look it underscores the real problem in libya right now which is that no one is in charge and security is tenuous make no mistake the libyan rebel movement could not be where it is today without nato's involvement the real test though is going to be what comes after because there are good feelings toward nato governments in benghazi right now but if a country falls to chaos over the next six months two years time frame it will be a very different story you can't just go in and use force of arms and destabilize an entire nation and then leave any time you go into these situations it's very easy with a modern force of arms and the disparities in the world when it comes to that to topple a regime it's incredibly difficult then to stabilize situation especially for for

decades there's been little to no tradition of consentual rule or democratic rule at all so pissed off he was a master at pitting group against group i think first of all what this intervention showed to me is nato has capabilities are incredibly stretched and the european component of nato exposed itself is not particularly capable as it should be so i hope the situation doesn't deteriorate because the only force in the world military force capable of projecting the logistical strength and the force is the united states and the united states does not need to be front and center in this situation so i think the nato alliance is in a very precarious spot right now. well you can get more analysis on the situation in libya on our web site while the conflict rages on just log on to our dot com for details. now north korea has confirmed it's ready to resume long stalled six

party talks on its nuclear program without any preconditions young i would also consider suspending the production and testing of nuclear weapons while it's on ongoing north korea's reclusive leader kim jong il met president dmitri medvedev and russia's republican during a rare visit to the country not discovering i was in the republics capital following the talks. after a meeting with the russian president the north korean leader kim jong il has announced his country's willingness to return to the six party negotiations aimed at denuclearizing the korean peninsula flawed it will only reimpose its moratorium on production and testing of nuclear weapons once those six party talks begin the rest of the six party talks members like south korea japan the united states they all want the north korean leader to implement the moratorium first and then have north korea return to the six party talks which have been stalled since two thousand and eight or korean leader still wants to do it his way but still his

announcement is a very big deal there were several signed going to to the possibility of such a breakthrough even when kim jong il began his journey usually the very secretive north korean leader travels completely incognito in the international community finds out about his travels post factum or even not at all this time the entire world knew as soon as kim jong il crossed the russian border on his specially designed armored train and that of course led many to speculate that the meeting also publicized with the russian president meeting with the idiot would bring about some definite breakthrough and we know that there have been further developments in the plans for a gas pipeline that will go from russia to south korea of course the north korea we also know that a number of committees have been created and this c.e.o. of russia's gas giant gazprom has been tasked with overseeing the project so that

definitely is still in the works and could be a very lucrative deal for north korea for south korea as well and definitely for russia which is looking to export more of its resources. and of economic partnership lucrative deals with russia or north korea you know a business book of marino. business they're keeping an eye on that yes for we are keeping an eye on that and of course everyone sees is there as a great step forward for everyone but we've spoken to say that it will be actually a talent to convince south korea because they don't want to be dependent on the north for anything but there is a way out and our analysts thought us about a north here about it and business friendly. you would see now more details have surfaced about the murder of a russian a human rights journalist on the political sky over five years ago investigators say they have new information about who might have ordered the killing the statement follows the arrest of a former key witness in the case he's

a retired police lieutenant colonel he's now under suspicion for organizing the killing and the pilot of sky who investigated human rights violations in chechnya was shot five years ago on the stairs of the building where she lived investigators say her professional activities were likely the motive for the murder now a quarter past the hour here in moscow iran has filed a lawsuit against russia in the international court of refusal to supply s. three hundred missiles and you're going to spin off now brings us more on the story from just outside the iranian embassy right here in moscow. according to the iranian ambassador tehran is suing moscow over a shipment of a batch of russia's as three hundred air defense systems to tehran under a deal which was signed back in two thousand and eight but the shipment never went through because in june two thousand and ten the u.n. security council slammed a set of sanctions on iran which you forces a wide range of limitations including those on the sales of various types of forms

so russia froze the shipment last year officials said that they are ready to give iran back its down payment which is around two hundred million dollars or they could go on go through with a deal if and when the u.n. security council lifts this set of sanctions tehran says that it has taken this case to the international court of justice but what's interesting is that they see the stamps are not aimed against russia but are actually aimed at giving moscow be a so-called illegal trump as the ambassador said you know order for this shipment to go through but actually talking about the s. three hundred air defense systems we've been in production strictly for export since one thousand nine hundred ninety four but just a few days ago their production was stopped altogether more advanced models taking place. he got pissed off right there earlier i spoke to

a military expert fouth things that iran needs the s three hundred to protect its nuclear facilities. around the system for. civilian targets but definitely has some advantages going to be a part of their nuclear program and idea is still protect nuclear facilities that could by israel and the united states because we're covering the story that iran has moved some of this nuclear facilities to this mountain bunker. says it's ready to resume international negotiations on its disputed nuclear program are they ready to make some concessions to the u.n. because it seems like a bit. but that's sudden one eighty if they're now suing russia for not supplying this mobile s. three hundred missile system and basically. the whole issue is about the situation inside the red sea all these story around you care program as three hundred thousand international community it away from the camp. is the great way to control the overall completion we know that islamic republic faces great

challenges from the young people who want better relations with more united states russia. and so are you with r.t. live from moscow let's go to some of world news and before you know it we're staying in iran where an iranian man has admitted to killing a nuclear scientist in tehran last year and of working with israeli intelligence at a trial a legion body function. taught him how to carry out terrorist acts including how to plant a bomb the defendant could now face the death penalty because the system must start all that mohammad was murdered in a bomb attack outside his home in january last year scientists were killed shortly afterwards. israel says a leader from the palestinian islamic jihad group has been killed in gaza is my o.l. is more an alleged weapons smuggler died in one of three strikes and also targeted were two other militants accused of firing rockets at israel last week which caused at least seven civilian deaths it was the deadliest string of attacks against the

israeli population in two years. a strong earthquake has a rupture in the east coast of the united states tremors centered in virginia forty regulations in washington including the white house and underground in new york two nuclear reactors were shut down and people also had to leave buildings that officials say no one was seriously injured but damage to property was rights record . breaking news here on our t.v. unmanned russian cargo space ship progress has crashed in eastern siberia after failing to reach its target it launched from a baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan on wednesday morning and was due to dock at the international space station on friday he's now joins us live and so tom tell us what's the latest that you know what happened. is the details we can glean at the moment the rocket the progress module on top of a soyuz rocket blasted off from baikonur as scheduled in the three hundred twenty fifth second of its ascent up into war but it suffered a rocket

a rocket failure of the third stage of that rocket and that meant essentially it fell back to work with an almighty great bang in the in the eastern area of russia the altai region it was forty kilometers from the nearest village that it fell. to said it's very unlikely anyone was hurt make a full inspection of the area shortly around the craft itself was unmanned so there was no crew inboard where the difficulty comes is that this ship was a supply ship for the international space station it was too scary around three tons of fuel and food up to the crew there. said that the crew up there currently have enough supplies to last them two months and they're probably not going to bring any crew down from the s.s. i think they can last ok until the next scheduled flight or the progress module on the twenty eighth of october that's right i'm seeing are seeing reports here that the ice crew will not have to return early due to the loss of all of the progress

but it's not exactly the first failure when it comes to us. in the recent past is that. it's not it's sort of some tremors of nervousness i think because this is the fourth in under a year the fourth pick up as it were in their space program last december glow now saying. a satellite system mapping the navigation system very important for the space program and for the russian military three of its satellites plunged into the sea they're still investigating as to why that may have happened in february a ministry of defense satellites stopped working properly and just a few days ago with this month another satellite fresh into war but went off course and went off then lost all contact with it so this is the fourth on top of all of those all of this made a bit more worrying by the fact that just recently the u.s. stopped its space shuttle flights the last one went around

a month ago and that means that the i assess is now totally reliant on the soyuz ships flying from baikonur so they'll be some very hard questions asked as to why this happened and to try to make sure it doesn't happen again all right artie is live in moscow and tom we actually spoke to a witness on the ground here's what she had to say. you know actually kind of hard to what i looked at it hard and it seemed like a white stripe i thought it was a plane at first i didn't then i realized the plane's never flying there or quietly then it turned into some white object and then saw that it was partly on it went behind a cloud and i thought you were come out in a minute but it disappeared i didn't see it again but i heard a loud noise it was like three bangs one really loud and two quieter and i thought it was standard first but it was not really have to china or try to well do stay with us here and i think for more details of a lot of the spaceship progress you know the business is next with very.

hello and welcome to visit us here on our senior russia wants to bring the normally hostile north and south korea say get there in the name of present us our summers in siberia admitted in advance event kim jong il have a great select at building a gas pipeline across north korea to supply the public and the south but analysts warn that south korea will have a hard time coming to terms with independence on its northern calif of parts. i think there will be. launching mountain skepticism to overcome in some of the career that allowing themselves to become even partially dependent on supplies or. point across the north you have to have an agreement between three countries russia and the korea and south korea it's no good. they're

building a pipeline i think simply let's rupture in north korea because britons are not going to be able to pay a sufficient price for gas imports from russia that would ever pay for because building the pipelines of the pipeline has to be extended to south korea the south korean market. that's all this has been the best month for gold and twelve years has jumped almost seventy percent in the last two weeks that's amid the uncertainty about economic prospects in europe and america the market as waiting for its news conference in the us to hear more about further stimulus measures they're well thought of him on the back of from platt says the current rally in precious metals reflects and that's a perception that a new round of money printing as unavoidable. if one looks at the sequence of events of what the central banks need to do they are in effect draw in terms of new

quitters so the only option they have left is to do all the round of quantitative easing you can see that the market is forecasting that quantitative easing so the price of gold seems to be here in georgia two thousand are beyond all that high price in gold is just people trying to prepare their currency for many for their delusion with the quantitative easing the wall will go on silver is going to fall oriel stop falling and now seems to be wanting to go on so everything will go really but just the dollar will buy less than they used to. go let's take a look at the figures now gold is dropping from an all time high above one thousand nine hundred dollars an ounce and that's a concern of course things over and that price is complicating the global economic slowdown has been fueling the ground for a store of value but right now gold is news in over four percent it's let's move on to why all this is trading in the black this right forecasts are wrong crude
