an unmanned russian cargo space ship which crashed in the altai region in southern siberia the soyuz rocket blasted off on wednesday and was ferrying food and fuel to the international space station when it fell back to down to earth while cannot get the latest on this from our correspondent peter oliver peter so we're hearing of some difficulties with the search for this fray or are emergency crews any closer to finding the wreckage well that's right the recovery process is being hampered at the moment due to some severe bad weather in the area of such southern siberia where the progress module went down now this is stopping them being fable to fly helicopters in there very frustrating for all of those recovery work is going to be incredibly keen to get this wreckage have a look at it get it back to the labs and find out what went wrong now there had been a state of emergency imposed in the area in the out-i in southern siberia where they say that the the rocket when down that's now being lifted it was put in as

a precaution to to be the modules carrying fuel as well as other things for the space station to make sure that none of those would talk sick and all of those had landed in any areas near to the it's where humans a living but it must be said they don't know exactly where all of the parts of the rock could have come down this would have been traveling at some phenomenal speeds when it broke into three parts spreading itself across probably a wide wide distance but as soon as this weather lifts they'll be very keen to get in there and very keen to a do to look at the couple of those not so much about the progress module itself but at the rockets that was carrying it the soyuz rocket currently since the space shuttle program is being scrapped the soyuz rocket the only way of getting humans into space getting them up to the international space station now this is a very highly respected piece of case in the space program of things by could already spoken to astronauts the. flown on the shuttle flown on on the soyuz they

refer to so uses a well somewhat like a tractor it's clunky it's it's a workhorse but it gets the job done now seeing this crush that we've seen that happened on wednesday that will cause some worries to people who are looking at the future all of space flights in the future getting people up and down from the international space station so as soon as that weather clears and as soon as they can get in they're going to be wanting to find out what exactly went wrong and he peter well the question that i'd like to ask is the spacecraft was carrying supplies to crew members of the isis so how will that affect sound what implications will this have for now well that's right the i assess kerney been stuffed by six astronauts from russia the united states and japan the good news for them is they did get a months of supply boost from the the shuttle when it was their last time they have food for three months to keep them going you've also got to remember that it's all if not the vast majority of these people are all very highly military chain trained
12:04 am
people that they train for situations whereby they will have to live on the russians so that's not really anything they'll be worrying them too much one mind is set by could be if there were any scientific parts that they were waiting any pause for experiments they were hoping to to continue and keep on carrying out on board the u.s.s. if they were on board this progress freighter the navy being lost that could set but some of the research food and water isn't really a major concern for them right now we are hearing that they could get a you know the progress rocket launched up there with the same amount of supplies on by september but until then it's just going to be slightly slightly uncomfortable for them but nothing that they haven't trained for before. all right peter thanks very much indeed for bringing us the details while we are keeping an eye on the search mission there are all over reporting from moscow. the founder of the capitol science connections innovation agency dr patrick flick says it's
12:05 am
unlikely that the rockets could have caused any casualties but launch trajectory of all of these craft tends to pass over very sparsely populated regions or even over the ocean in the case of the us launches so the risk is really very very remote indeed i think that's that's not something that we need to be overly worried about the provision of a new launch vehicle and a new launch. something that's pretty expensive of course it's all in short or imagine it is in the case of the russian launches it's all insured so the cost is covered but you know it's a pretty costly process i wouldn't like to put a figure on it but certainly tens of millions of dollars must be the most sort of assessment here. data patrick for like there on the crash after alliance of the unmanned russian space ship in siberia. and still have for you this hour a security breakthrough north korea says it's ready to return to the six party negotiations table as its leader kim jarrell says he'll consider

a piece of the pie. jill to the hostage mais modules and you'll strike oil whether or not the sayings true when it comes to libya will it's going to play a pivotal role in the country's future q we have to feel restruck interests me. the question interest to protect the torah. but also to rebel to why don't we do live in government interest to restart sending all of this is possible because that is the first polls are right media reports on the gadhafi and. their doctors so. a stranger to the concepts of friends with benefits. being quick to k.z. up to the new transitional council inviting the public face of the group that made djibril. to italy for talks. these closest european allies when the nato bombing campaign began back in april probably switch sides again causing the
12:08 am
rebels. the agenda that you proposed visit is expected to be discussions about it's least likely to energy contracts with libya the full the wall almost a third of its lease daily energy needs were imported from libya an oil giant any was the largest foreign operator in the country with oil and gas contracts running until two thousand and forty two and two thousand and forty seven because many here have been doing all they can to safeguard these contracts but the if they will be able to maintain these previously close business cards is by no means a given and opposed to death in libya the future like sixty three. and there are little guarantees one of the biggest problems for both italy and other western countries since the beginning of the war has been the struggle to adequately understand the internal workings of the rebels themselves. amongst the rebels there
12:09 am
are many factions islamist tunisian people. it's disorganized and counted and then chief of these groups of. patients before we were with gadhafi and then they completely change their face their wend with the wind is the same literally i think they're corrupt politicians. be personally on a number of occasions three business connections less than a month the gay she returned from a fact finding trip to libya with a handwritten letter she says was written by gadhafi to belive. in it he allegedly says he was surprised by your decision to join the coalition against libya especially after we signed a friendship and cooperation treaty between our two sides the cittie he's referring to he was talking just two months before the libyan uprising the letter goes on to why did you join our enemies without any diplomatic dialogue or investigation well escape he now seems to be busy making new friends but while that may be the final
12:10 am
chapter that deathy many fear the conflict will continue. i would dare to say that the end of gadhafi opens up a new phase of the war which is among the rebels themselves there is no consensus both in italy and in general in the up and coming meeting on who will be the person . who will be the future reference points in the new libya i'm afraid this is because even the rebels themselves don't know and this is probably the biggest question mark of the transition. now is silly along with many in the west could well find that previous lucrative relations may turn out to be just as fickle as the rainfall over the friendship. fighting between loyalist forces and the rebels continues to rage leading to fears of a prolonged civil war u.s. government adviser on terrorism dr wallach forest says that colonel gadhafi could still mount a counter offensive and warns that the rebels have serious political issues ahead.
12:11 am
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 if gadhafi has left the tripoli area to the south he could well unleash a new insurgency so his regime would go but they would become the new rebels and the current rebels now would 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 non conventional 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 gadhafi would have left tripoli before that invasion on you know saturday sunday then most likely he would
12:12 am
be in the shower or in areas where the borders i shouldn't wonder if he didn't leave tripoli that day that he's somewhere inside tripoli 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 meanwhile one of america's best known senators believes it's russia that to be next in line for a libya style uprising former republican presidential candidate john mccain has lashed out of moscow saying the spirit of the arab spring is due to spread and could also reach china are just going to to can has the details from washington. senator mccain has got a very far far fetched that's for sure he's sure 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 said libya
12:13 am
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 to don't seem to have achieved what they were fighting for so as far as democracy is concerned in those countries there are still lots of questions but according to the cain it's all great and the fire of uprisings should move on to other countries first stop syria according to the senator right after could elfie he said it's bashar assad who 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 it's quite interesting that senator mccain is pointing at some of the world's richest countries russia that sitting on vast natural
12:14 am
resources and china which is developing extremely rapidly it's america's biggest creditor it's the world's number one export of goods as we know the center is basically calling for revolutions in those countries presuming that their livelihood is soledad that they 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 is 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 a lot of states have seen massive protests about. but their voices have been largely ignored following mccain's logic though does that mean that americans too would have to take to the streets and rebel and revolt not clear really so i want to have to ask him that question because there's a lot of discontent in mccain's home country but to senator mccain obviously you
12:15 am
know haley is other people as one wise french writer said. reporting there from washington all the u.s. and some countries are calling for an arms embargo and wider sanctions to be imposed against syria following the crackdown there but russia and china are opposed to the plan with moscow seeing countries should be encouraging dialogue in syria not punishing it weather reports from the country scares and hard to verify the way it's perceived from the outside is decidedly one sided as more reports began around four o'clock in the morning so this is how the world has been watching them dressed in syria through mobile phone cameras and i want to footage from there was stricken country has flooded international news or rather blooded killings and executions supposedly at the hands of president ourselves miter filmed on cell phones have become a trademark of the regime syrian officials those seized the scenes
12:16 am
a staged the you tube is not credible and i witness account is not credible i could become requests now and shout help they're killing us next door. these are not credible ways to assess a situation the u.n. has condemned over the violence against his people but damascus emphasizes from afar until recently no u.n. mission has crossed the syrian border hyundai's a correspondent with saudi arabia based at rb international news channel in syria he says the government should blame itself for the country's image and the deal if he does a ban foreign journalists and finding missions from coming in and they don't allow us to work can i just take a camera and the filming even here in damascus and you should and i would never wait till the government made a staple there are ten million reporters in the country everyone has a phone why should they wait with the lack of access to information many people have used their cell phones to feel what's been happening and to share it with the
12:17 am
rest of the world. but this is what going against censorship is a double edged sword while mobile video can give anyone and perhaps help save lives it can just as well be used to transform the truth and that could come at the cost of people's lives martin not his real name is the man behind the camera is a freelance journalist currently working for a western media outlet he cannot tell more and he doesn't want his face to appear on screen hide in the truth about himself he tries to reveal the truth of another kind. of. information about what's going on. there are some armed forces on the ground civilians while. the security forces are killing. unarmed.

civilians and went out to broach the perceived freedom. wasn't afraid of being thrown in jail has been there three times already. his afraid of being killed or friends in the room where you got. your report this person was filming it was the only one who was starting to. hurt you or broke the others are very rich the syrian state t.v. brings their evidence to support their leader. motion stuff in the middle of it was i what i did they should be cheerful mother crying over her body apparently that they said that was in the homes but here at the same picture indeed it was made in the iraq in two thousand and nine they condemn the site but they just play. one of the most oppressive regimes in the world through them on the press has never been serious strong point because this is all we ask all the authors for the truth to come out the birth sides of the story to be told not just one side all the time the
12:19 am
fact that not as many foreign journalists are allowed in. the western world once does not give the right to the western world to grab any story. and put it as true but that doesn't look to be among the media's goals and this conflict the press is not just about coverage it's a war and as in every war they go is to we refuse to damascus syria watching r.t. live from moscow remember if you've missed anything recovering here you can check it out on our web site which is r t v dot com and here's a taste of what else is online for you right. iran files a lawsuit against russia and the international court over its refusal to supply as three hundred air defense missiles. last tuesday's earthquake in the u.s. cause us to reactors at a nuclear power plant outside of washington d.c.

12:21 am
down it remains to be seen at this point i think not without the international pressure on the united states and south korea i don't think that will necessarily see if they're talking about the precondition wait you must stop production on a certain date before the talks not on the day of the talks those types of arguments seem to imply that someone doesn't want to speak we have more than twenty eight thousand troops stationed in south korea close to one hundred bases and posts in a tiny country is this really to defend against the north no i would contend that it's relates to china and the desire by the united states to maintain its military presence in korea watching r.t. and the four time african player of the year is samuel it's his side a deal was russian. for a record salary of thirty million dollars

12:26 am
able to withstand a lower oil price. this time around compared to two thousand and eight russia is more immune to a decline in oil prices and the key reason for this is a flexible ruble policy because what we've seen in the beginning of august when there isn't be downgraded the united states and they all the market sold off the ruble depreciate and the central bank allowed it to depreciate so the central bank protected local interest rates local banking sector by flexible exchange rate so we think that. continued fall in the ruble will take most of their most of the heat and the economy will be more protected from external negative external shocks. let's have a look at those figures so courage is flooded with investors so looking ahead to the speech of the head of the federal reserve on friday all eyes are now on whether ben bernanke who will announce another round of money printing to prop up the u.s.
