talking at all to all that appear to have failed. it was a three hundred twenty fifth second of the rockets ascent into orbit when there was this engine failure it certainly hit the ground with a bump off towards having come down to earth very rapidly there are you as yet unconfirmed reports that also that day rocket broke into three parts which fell in three different areas in the altai region in russia's east we heard from an eyewitness earlier who saw the rocket coming down in that region you know how. i looked at it and it seemed like a white stripe i thought it was a train at first but then i realized the planes never fly that low or quietly then it turned into some white object and i saw that it was sparkling you went behind a cloud and i thought you were come out in a minute but it disappeared i didn't see it again when i heard a loud noise it was like three bangs one really loud and two quieter here. so

obviously that evidence there from that eyewitness also perhaps supporting the idea that there are three separate sites of impact those three bangs however on the ground having fallen in such a wide area it's not known whether anyone was around at the time and may have as a result become a casualty from this massive falling debris there were no crew on board and the search in the area will begin shortly sale storage fees we heard recently from the local administration as people go there to collect pine nuts they grow everywhere so they may well be people out in the tiger although we don't know how many in that area back in december when the three globe satellites responsible for navigation used by the space program run by russia's military they plunged into the sea in february a ministry of defense satellites stopped working properly and just a few. days ago on the eighteenth of august another freshly launched satellite went

off its orbit and disappeared off the radars altogether so this is the fourth in the line of rather worrying pick ups it's also made a little bit more worrying by the fact that the u.s. has now stopped its space shuttle flights to the international space station those astronauts up there can survive about two months on the supplies that they have but it's thought to have to be another emergency mission up there and they're totally reliant on flights of these soyuz rockets up from baikonur. and mark president of the british interplanetary society says the rocket flight path minimizes only risk to people on the ground 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's case that's more difficult but they fly over a very sparsely populated region so there's very little chance of

a rocket failing actually reaching any percent of the population the soyuz is a very reliable vehicle but it's still got something like a one in fifty a little bit of the money in fifty failure rate so as long as you're using expendable vehicles the sort of failure is bound to happen you know every fifty years to sixtieth flight. this is coming up later in the program. files a lawsuit against russia of its refusal to supply as three hundred missiles saying they don't fall and the u.n. resolution preventing weapons imports. later but now the rebel government is rallying around its international supporters to get from this to run the country in a closed door meeting with head of libya's national transitional council nicolas sarkozy promised continued military assistance rebels are now in control of most of tripoli but there are still reports of resistance by government loyalists the united nations is to hold talks on bringing u.s. assets to help with the rest of. the international conference to how the new rebel

government is due to take place over september the facts. france becomes the first e.u. power to host the head of libya's transitional national council nicolas sarkozy said that he and nato will continue to supply military equipment to the rebels as long as they need it no he didn't mention the un resolution the rising intervention in libya which many shrinks expressly rules out military supplies to libya the rebel leader. said that he sees a driving force in the nato campaign against gadhafi troops and now the french and the british have invited libya's government to a meeting on september the first with e.u. leaders that they will meet quote not military allies but friends but the british prime minister's office has also released

a statement saying that the meeting will help to build a free and democratic libya during wednesday's meeting sarkozy also cuts france's economic growth for cause and announced eleven billion dollars in. measures the french president being accused of trying to bury this very bad. news in the euphoria of war victory but they're all signs that the war isn't producing the results because they wanted more in this report. fraud's feels like a winner as the first power to recognize libya's rebels the first to become tree and now the first in talks with rebel leaders for mr allan she paces victory gives him great satisfaction opposition m.p. jack laying everyone to be thankful that france inspired action at the united nations corporations in states that voted for u.n. intervention are rubbing their hands one of the first members of

a french team. who. was a representative of the different or company. is not. of course french all joint hole has been named as this was big enough rubble all for a go go has threatened to block brazil russia and china for quote political issues there are three states who refuse strong 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 a wall for all that these so-called position government has promised to give the all to france france officially claims its war mission is over but analysts tippit to secretly stay you'll be in libya make sure it profits france only maintaining forces. presence in libya even the. resolution it's like trying to

yes but keeping troops in the country means heavy costs drag on latest polls say most french people now oppose the military intervention this in p.c.'s for the bloodshed and the hefty price. to deal with it now is opposed by the govt i guess with his new memoir the war is far from over and this invasion is already costing much more than we get back the fears are growing that libya's new leaders are too divided to win the peace. points to the rebels murder last months of their military chief general yunis experts will widespread rebel looting and executions meet france's problems they have only just begun the new bushell altie paris. us government adviser on terrorism dr forever says gadhafi could still mount an offensive and the rebels also have serious political issues to deal with. the

khadafi supporters the remnant of his army cannot at this point in time strategically because they are surrounded and isolated cannot revert back the entire conflict and take back but at the same time he has many supporters in his birthplace and many supporters in the south mr darcy has left the tripoli area to the south the well in unleashing a new insurgency so his regime will go but it will become the new rebels and the current rebels now will become the new regime so we are still far away from a complete stable libya you have you know what kinds of mass destruction or nonconventional weapons that are across libya and that has to be secured so a lot of issues have to be addressed really before only focusing on qaddafi or even thinking of the contracts the oil contracts to come if gaddafi would have left tripoli before that invasion on saturday sunday then most likely he would be in the

south or in areas where the supporters are still in control if he didn't leave tripoli at that day that he's somewhere inside tripoli hidden but that would be a negative thing for me and for him because he would be found if he had left tripoli it's going to be very difficult for the rebels future government to find him in the desert. u.s. senator and presidential candidate john mccain has lashed out at russia saying it could be the next country to experience a libya like uprising is not the first american educated to a statesman like they said the crown and commented by saying that these remarks i motional and incompetent washington correspondent guy. senator mccain has got a very far for each farfetched that's what sure he's for that the so-called arab spring will rage on and will make it to countries like china russia which according to mccain need democracy just like libya does by the way at some point even libya

has already achieved a democracy which judging by the situation on the ground is really far from reality because even as the transitional national council takes over in tripoli that's not the government that was chosen by the libyan people and many libyans are outraged by the fact that foreign powers of essentially made those choices for them and looking back at egyptians too don't do seem to have achieved were actually worth fighting for so as far as democracy is concerned in those countries there are still lots of questions but according to mccain it's all great and the fire of our pricing should move on to other countries first stop syria according to the senator right after he said it's bashar assad is next to fall but too many mccain's statements are not surprising really because he's seen as a mouthpiece to those forces in washington who have this hawkish mentality and would want to see some countries go upside down especially rich nations or strategically important ones but it's quite interesting that senator mccain is pointing at some of the world's richest countries russia that sitting on vast

natural resources and china which is developing extremely rapidly america's biggest creditor it's the world's number one exporter of goods as we know the center is basically calling for revolutions in those countries presuming that their livelihood is. the need to rebel immediately poll showed that most americans are not happy with where their economy is going also they're not happy with their president. approval rating is below forty percent the nation's fourteen plus trillion dollar debt continues to rise the economy is not generating enough jobs and unemployment remains above nine percent as we know you know we're talking about millions of people jobless the rights of unions that were supposed to protect employees were slashed and a lot of states have seen massive protests about it but their voices have been largely ignored following mccain's logic does that mean that americans to have to take to the streets and rebalance with all not clear really so i want to have to ask that question because there's

a lot of discontent in mccain's home country but to senator mccain obviously you know hell is other people as one wise french writer said. north korea is ready to resume long stalled six sponsored talks and its nuclear design and without any preconditions the statement was made by the countries in the new talks with president dmitri medvedev on wednesday the two leaders also struck a deal on the transit of russian natural gas for north korea to south korea. will impose a moratorium on the country's nuclear missile tests and production during the negotiations you can see reports now from the council of the russian republic of. 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 but 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 signed 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 dmitri medvedev 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. via north korea we also know that a number of many sad been created and this see oh of russia's gas giant gas well 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 russia's to play a crucial role as mediator soothing tensions between the two koreas says a week's iraq can cause a national campaign to end the korean. bush is in the perfect position to play this role because of their closer relationship with the united states over the past years because of the fact they aren't seen as a lot i did with north korea as china is and because someone has to as

a world leader stand up and say this war has gone on for sixty years that there's been a change the cold war has ended folks let's get on to the idea that you only build peace through engagement and relationship you know president vaclav havel once said that we must change our ray of attention from what separates us to what unites us and russia plays a unique role right now to help lead the world in that direction. get the full coverage of kim young males read visit by logging on to ask you dr tom now your client a full thirstier of quarter of his first trip out of north korea a decade. iran has filed a lawsuit against russia the international court of arbitration over its refusal to supply as three hundred surface to air missiles if to find it successful in its action moscow could have to repay one hundred sixty seven million dollars. brings

us more on this story from outside the iranian and the scene was quoting to the iranian ambassador tehran is suing moscow over a shipment of a badge of russia's 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. the security council slammed a set of sanctions on iran which in force was 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 we could go all 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 stamps are not aimed

against russia but are actually aimed at giving moscow the so-called illegal trump as the ambassador said in 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 were the more advanced models taking their place. to the world of football now where an unheralded russian team was. breaking records and breaking the bank from russia's republic of biggest on its signing superstar striker samuel eto italian signed into the loan they were announced footballer may cost thirty six million dollars and will pocket a cool twenty nine million dollars a year himself more than any other player on the planet so when he tells them his deal in our special coverage in two hours time. now as this civil war in libya rages many say the country could go the way of egypt and end up with the

dissolution society impatient for reform but some believe it could be much worse talks to the editor of a london based on arab newspaper his views on the record on recent events that's coming up in a moment. i'm talking to abdel bari atwan who's the editor of the london based on the arabic newspaper al could be he is obviously going to talk to me about libya and he says

that there's a huge potential for libya to turn into another afghanistan missed out on thank you for talking to r.t. today now explain to me what the factors are at play that all comparable between libya and afghanistan. a lot of similarities here between. afghanistan and libya we have been need to intervention military intervention it is through this intervention is not actually sending troops on the ground but the sea. and try to say libya could like afghanistan the other point is you know leave. could turn to a failed state like what happened in afghanistan nobody can predict what will happen after we know if we would be removed from power because he cannot actually fight and he has a good backup abilities but the big question is you know what that position and

council which is that are presenting that will be able first to contain the differences in divisions in a second whether it is capable to run the country that seems like an excellent overview of the issues but let's talk about the more specifically first of all where do you think gadhafi is that maybe what's he going to do you think you'll fight to the bitter end qaddafi is a very cunning despite to many people and that i would describe him as mad i met him three times in my life he is you know a shrewd politician whether we like it or not he calculates very well we don't know where he is actually hiding it took the need to american fifteen years to find osama bin laden and kill him i don't know how many months how many weeks how many years do you know that it will take him to come back and as far as the mood on the

ground goes what do you think will happen when and if the rebels catch him will they kill him or they they talk big about the international criminal court what do you think will happen it depends who is going to cut him if he is captured by. groups that are secret almost no. he could be good at these presidents or not libya is obviously particularly because up till now the rebels have really been united by a common hate. how likely now do you think a violent splits in the transitional council i think the problem after that. could be more actually problematic than the problem before or before the removal of very cheap because there is. a split among. themselves the factions who are participating in this fight. there are united by the hate to cut that free if he's captured if he's killed i think you know now we will turn against each

other and we know that some brigades you know who are fighting with their bills. by the extremist muslim groups. they wouldn't fight with the secular and the same time even belief to talk to those. secure those or to those actually liberals they consider them. part of the list of conspiracy so maybe those people will turn against each other but also we knew that you know the majority of the people who are fighting muslim extremists or actually you know people who believe that they should slip mixtape and so how that the two is going to deal with those people after the mobile of chemical are they going to legitimize them consider them illegitimate illegitimate after but part on the future libya so there are huge question marks here personally i believe the post would be more problematic than

that. david cameron has been talking about sending british troops to libya as a peacekeeping force but will that be enough to keep a lid on what is potentially a nation at war if david cameron sent. army. personnel on the manner of keeping peace in post but i fear this will be seen in libya and also in the arab world as a foreign intervention exactly like what happened in afghanistan the stakes are massive out there now nato and the u.k. specifically is talking about democracy by the libyan people how realistic do you think that is talking about democracy is very easy option actually practicing democracy. it is a very complicated process democracy cannot actually parachuted to the people in the view that what i'm up against that democracy is a culture and it is

a process first you have to start this process in a country like you know for the last forty two years never had the you know multi-party system been never had the parliament been never had institutions democratic institutions or any institutions do you think the rebels basically still hold off the oil when they accepted west and military support there finitely the need to bombardment played a major role in the success that it took most of the cities. to advance toward tripoli so. presumably there was a deal struck between there and leave be unbearable that need to put it in france in particular it is not. a free service no definitely there is something behind. i suspect the need to would like to have military bases in libya i suspect

that you know british and french company is looking for exploration contacts abdel-bari atwan thank you very much. the lose the substance. abuse. see.

him in. the few moments of the kooks among philosophy. maximum frost. marks a moment decision seemed to come from. small maneuverability most mediations decent to denmark's moscow's move famous here show on technology some day cheer on a launch we've got the future covered. as you know song was sixteen years old when he committed these murders that's not to say that song so or should not be honest for his crimes song is being punished no rational person can deny that song has been punished is being honest and will be honest. the sellers must be executed for the brutal crime committed this is

a punishment this is not. a mention. that it stands to. cause you. any mercy on your wants to have or. no i didn't come here justice. and heard the rumors. this congress more. finally martin. and my dad is now. wealthy british style. has been dyed.

markets why not i'm going to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report on r g. is if. it's.

the headline is. an unmanned russian space freighter crashes in the east of the country with x. good size and engine failure as the reason behind the accident. that was due to dock at the international space station on saturday with tons of supplies. needed as rebel government kick starts its international finance committee as it meets the french president to do our best to hold talks on face prison assets to help with construction upwards to get intense fighting continues and despite rebels claims that they control most of the capital. i don't agree is ready to hold nuclear tests if six wanted talks are resumed this is according to the country's leader who finished his red trip to russia on wednesday to make sure that.
