a lawsuit against russia reversed refusal to supply s. three hundred missiles saying they don't fall under u.n. resolution preventing weapons imports. to have you with this is from the russian capital with the twenty four hours a day the top story this hour an unmanned russian cargo spacecraft is crashed in eastern russia after its engines fail to take into orbit to take it into orbit i should say progress launch from baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan on wednesday morning and was due to dock at the international space station on friday launches tom cotton joins us live with more now on tell us what did happen. was in the three hundred twenty fifth second goal that splat. that this progress modules sat

on top of a soyuz rocket suffered what serbian call the third stage engine failure that's the third stage of the rocket boosters the take it up into orbit and essentially that failure a drop in pressure was noticed in the fuel apart from that little is known as to what may have caused it but that burns basically meant it came crashing back down to work with an almighty great bang in russia's east in the altai republic now it's not known at the moment whether the casualties may have been sustained on the ground it was about forty kilometers from the nearest village so at the moment it seems unlikely but the search is going to start there may have been agricultural workers in the fields around where the crash happened and what does hear from an eyewitness who spoke to his earlier about what she saw. you know what happened during part of her appeal as i looked at it and it's in black and white stripes right i thought it was a train at first then i realized the coins never find their toe or quietly then it

turned into some bright object and then suddenly it was partly on you went behind a cloud and i thought you were coming 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 here i thought it was sunday first but it was not raining at the time you know. this spacecraft was unmanned being that though there were no crew on board that could have got hurt but the problem that this has raised is with the supply to the i assess this craft was carrying about three tons of food and fuel up to the six crew on the i s s and because it has now crashed it means but they only have enough food for around two to three months which means it's highly probable now that an emergency launch is going to have to be quickly put together before the next coach will launch which is on the twenty eighth of october ok tom thanks very much. indeed for that live in

central moscow for more on this we can now talk to you early kalash he's a member of the russian academy of space yuri thanks very much indeed for being with us so tell us who or what is likely to be responsible for this. especially so the mission control center space corporation and other gear. in manufacturing all the. spacecraft. out of there looking into the situation but at this point it looks like a villain should be. so that is the soyuz rocket and not actually progress itself. well things like this happen actually the soyuz launch vehicle has a very good reliability or a three years almost ninety eight percent. steel and longer the more reliable launch vehicle so the world iraq would have been possible though to avoid this happening if the problems were detected one time. you want

to know what if what happened if the program was detected beforehand. so i didn't get your question see it again i was just wondering whether if problems had been detected in time could this accident have been avoided. depends on the problem of there are some problems which even even there detected in flight of the leave. to the. function anyway to the major malfunction so for us as. of a specialist of the mission. in space corporation or a gear i have to determine what exactly did happen to the launch vehicle i understand that there will be more supplies coming up to the i s s a little later so the crew will be all right in that respect but one of the other consequences. facing the crew now as a result. all of this delivery not occurring. you have to keep in mind.

i assess operations glamourous always. keep in mind the possibility of the cargo not booking to the international space station for some reason so they can are on board has enough all four water and food supplies to survive on for another three or four months until their. cargo spacecraft arrive for the space station. just one question that speculative question if this rocket or indeed the progress of the spacecraft on top of the soyuz rocket was manned what the crew have survived after this engine failure. and definitely yes as a matter of fact there were already a couple of tests. region a month rated the crew will survive even with their launch recall

function. first happened in april ninety seventy five when two crew members. are flying so use a d. in a same thing to orbit. an explosion happened into the launch vehicle so this oil spacecraft just separated from the well functioning launch vehicle and safely landed so. there was an idea. so we buy that was another there was another catastrophe should be equal in one thousand eight hundred three when the launch we explored it on the launch pad and the game and none of the cosmos in either. so just very briefly if that spacecraft was still attached to the rocket and it didn't reach orbit and it fell to earth that spacecraft would actually be able to detach itself and land itself safely. definitely this space. if the would be able

to jettison the front of the launch vehicle and learn to safely very interesting you're a crash thank you very much indeed for joining us live there in moscow a member of the russian academy of space thanks for your time. one hour from moscow we're heading to london i'm now joined by mark salter president of the british interplanetary society thank you very much indeed for joining us live there in london well obviously we've heard quite a lot about the technical reasons and what could have happened if there were a crew on board but what i'd like to ask you is there any way to control a rocket like this once it starts to fall i'm thinking of it landing on a city for example. not really but the flight paths of rockets are designed so there's no possibility of them landing on cities most nations will fly them over the ocean in russia it's more difficult but they fly over a very sparsely populated region so there's a very little chance of failing actually reaching any sense of the population

are you surprised that after what forty four missions that an incident like this should occur. not really the soyuz is a very reliable vehicle but it's still got a something like a one in fifty a little part of the modern fifty failure rate so as long as you use expendable vehicles the sort of failure is bound to happen you know every fifty to sixty eight flight so statistically this is almost what one might expect but certainly not good news if you're going to get more and more rockets going up in space carrying people . no that's true which is why the company i actually work for and trying to design be usable launch vehicles that will be much more reliable but the escape system currently the risk to astronauts sees a low one in a thousand every time they take a flight still very high but not anywhere near the failure of the actually itself

now the u.s. shuttle program of course is now finished and nasa is relying on russia's rockets will this affect that partnership anyway. i doubt it very much partly because of the moment america has no choice and the soyuz ease a more reliable system of the shuttle remember the shuttle did not have an escape system so when it failed the crew were in very serious trouble whereas the soyuz has already been described to you has a very effective escape system. rocket and the escape system have to fail before the astronauts are in any danger you were referring to a little earlier about. being developed something that you're involved with how long will it yet for an alternative soyuz to be launched and what sort of time scale you talking about here. well we've got a very very aggressive program and we might make it by twenty twenty so it's not going to be this decade and this is competing in soyuz then. well we'll see where

things stand in twenty twenty i mean this is a decade away and current planning the international space station will be coming to the end of its life and maybe extended so it's far too early to say but certainly what we're designing will replace all of the expendable launch vehicles and so on but we're a long way and it's not something we can put i know you're developing is that in line with the ambitions for space tourism. our vehicle probably could be used for space tourism it's skylon has been designed so that it is what's called certifiable like an aircraft but it won't go into service straight away with space tourism in mind. but it's very interesting to hear what you have to say thanks so much for joining us live in london. mark empson vice president of the british interplanetary group thank you very much indeed well this is r.t.

coming to you live from the russian capital we're keeping a close eye on the situation of course and keep you updated on that story and you can always find more on our website it is dot com. other news now rebels now control colonel gadhafi is fortress in central tripoli but violent clashes continue throughout the capital however the u.s. defense department says it has another concern and security of sites in libya known to contain stockpiles of chemical weapons including you renia dust was speaking to my colleague earlier today james corbett from the center for research on globalization question why libya's new government is not being trusted to deal with it. 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 for police to civilians in tripoli have been the benito's side so i think the question is really who are the people would to be concerned about having access to those weapons i

want to 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 kind of he 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 that certainly it's unclear to me whether the weapons would be safer in the hands of the gadhafi forces or the terrorists so i think ultimately perhaps getting rid of these types of weapons would be the ultimate goal for in terms of peace and stability that what the u.s. is working to really is 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 it'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 a recent meeting so obviously true libya's very much divided along tribal lines as you know and 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 go to a transitional government which so far has really only demonstrated its interest in securing oil contracts with foreign and western companies. the leader of libya's national transitional council will have a tour of europe to secure funds for his new government and french president nicolas sarkozy in paris. reports from france as russians say for france there's much more than just democracy on the table. fraud's feels like a winner was the first power to recognize libya's rebels the first to become free and now the first in talks with rebel leaders for mr allen should pace his victory gives him great satisfaction or position in p.j. laying off everyone to be thankful that france inspired action at the united

nations corporations in states that voted for u.n. intervention or rubbing their hands one of the first members of the french team. as a representative of different company. is not very far from. french all drawn towards hall has been named as this was the queen of rebel all for i go through a lot brazil russia and china for quote political issues there are three states who refused from 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 it is or will fall that these so-called opposition government has promised to give the all to false fronts officially claims its war mission is over but analysts tippett to

secretly stay you'll be in libya and make sure it profits only maintaining forces. in libya even the. resolution. yes but keeping troops in the country means heavy costs trade on the latest poll say most french people now oppose a military intervention this in p.c.'s further bloodshed and the hefty price tag to deal with it now reports but you can take us with me meanwhile the war is far from over and this invasion is already costing much more than we can. fears of growing that libya's new leaders are too divided to win the peace learn points to the rebels murder laws months of the military chief general yunis experts warn widespread rebel looting and executions beat france's problems they have only just begun their new bushell 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 vice president at the center for national policy believes it will be much harder to establish stability than it was to remove good effie. look it underscores the real problem in libya right now which is that no one is in charge and security is tenuous so 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 the country falls to chaos over the next six months two years time frame it will be 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 the situation especially where for decades there's been little to no tradition of consentual rule or democratic rule at all so 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 expose itself is not particularly capable as it should be so i hope the situation doesn't the tear right because the only force in the world military force capable of projecting the logistical strength and the forces 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 website while the conflict rages on just log on to r.t. dot com for the latest details. north korea has confirmed it's ready to

resume long stalled six party talks on its nuclear program without any preconditions pyongyang will also consider suspending the production and testing of nuclear weapons while talks are ongoing north korea's reclusive leader kim jong il met president we think of eleven russia's republic of buildout here during a rare visits to the country and artie's katrina server is in the republic capitol following the talks. after a meeting with the russian president the north korea leader kim jong il has announced his country's willingness to return to the six party negotiations aimed at denuclearizing the korean peninsula lot 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 the north korean leader still wants to do it his way but still his announcement is a very big deal there were several signs pointing 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 dmitry medvedev would bring about some definite breakthrough and we know that there have been further developments in the plans for a gas pipeline that would go from russia to south korea of course north korea we

also know that the number of movies have been created and this c.e.o. of russia's gas giant gazprom has been tasked with overseeing a 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. can join us trip to russia began on saturday and. train store owners to. well websites are to go. trick included a relaxing day at the world's deepest lake in my car. a diff in its riches more on our website r.t. dot com. iran has failed a lawsuit against russia or an international court over its refusal to supply s three hundred missiles to you going to brings us more on the story from outside the iranian embassy here in moscow according to the iranian ambassador to iran is suing

moscow over a shipment of a badge of russia's past three hundred air defense systems to tehran under a deal which was signed back in two thousand and eight but to the shipments never went through because in june two thousand and ten the un the security council slammed a set of sanctions on iran which in forces of 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 war because gore go through with a deal if and when the u.n. security council a lift. of sanctions tehran says that it has taken this case to the international court of justice but what's interesting is that they see these steps are not aimed against russia but are actually aimed at giving must go the so-called illegal trump as the ambassador said you know order for this shipment to go through we're

actually talking about the s. three hundred air defense systems we've been in production strictly for export since one thousand nine hundred four but just a few days ago their production was stopped altogether more advanced models taking their place. even if you can are there twenty three minutes past the hour and i'll be back with the some of our main news stories in seven minutes from now the meantime think is next with marina. hello and welcome to business here on artsy point says are rising four times more quickly in russia than they are in the rest of europe although i have five percent for the first seven months of the year inflation is more under control about it has been for the rest of the country's modern history so this is good or bad to find out i'm joined by alexandria if you're from the to be capital thank you so much for joining us now can you tell us duping roughest finally exercise the demon out of

inflation. at least the central bank is doing the right the right job and the shift in mind three both of that happened in the past year is indeed helping to curb inflation but not do you think we'll go back to a time when inflation was so it's seen or fifteen percent. well i think they're flexible rubel policy and. flexible about policy and central banks interventions at the minimum i think there has been a regime shift in inflation and probably we are looking at the highest the highest level of around ten percent so we're not going back to thinking well the central bank is actually targeting seven percent of inflation this year do think that's achievable. and certainly about inflation for this year is huge because this slowdown that we've seen has been driven by vegetables braces and this component is very volatile so it's possible that inflation will stay it will decline to seven

percent if vegetables presence continue well and but my concern this is called bulls for the second half of the year and the stronger ruble has been helping keep prices down the currency has been so lighting winsomely what's your outlook on not . pulling their u.s. downgrade the central bank allowed the ruble to take the heat from all in all price a negative spin or shrug so from the from this point of view the central bank allowed the ruble to be just too negative terms of trade been in the. press continue fallen on and on global outlook global growth deterioration of the mobile will will depreciate as well you know that much damage these in this oil depletion will do to the russian economy because with the situation was libya was seeing oil prices fall sharply if it goes even further and with yeah we run the scenario with oil price of seventy five and we arrive to two percent g.d.p.

growth and around thirty. you thirty third you poor deluded within a few rights well i have. to feel for me it's a big capital thank you so much for joining us and. let's take a look at the figures now we'll start with gold to its dropping from an all time high above one thousand nine hundred dollars an ounce in the us a concern of a worsening sovereign debt crisis caught the kates in the global economic slowdown has been in demand for us the world value but right now gold is losing some point four percent so let's move on to oil crude is trading in the black despite forecasts of going from it's not policy in the u.s. right now that we would see i is trading at close to eighty six dollars a barrel and brian says that one hundred ten also coach and one hundred eleven dollars a barrel. for the u.s. stocks are trading in the red after opening on a positive note the dow is at any point four percent and nasdaq is approaching one
