failure after launch the search is underway for the unmanned russian freighter that was taking supplies to the international space station which crashed back to earth in syberia. and different priorities rebels in libya may be focused on the capture a problem that offbeat western nations are rushing in to get a slice of the country's oil pipe under the new government. and caught up in the information war while the u.s. and the e.u. are pushing for more sanctions against syria journalists on the ground say that there is a lack of objective coverage coming out of the country. and in business off to wednesday's major drop quote prices a plot which analysts say about russia should still be able to withstand

a long world prize more in business and welcomes minutes. well good morning it is nine am here in the russian capital of moscow i'm lucy catherine of and of course you're watching our t.v. and adverse weather is hampering the search for the wreckage of an unmanned russian cargo space ship which unfortunately crashed in the all time region and southerns to bury us now the progress vessel blasted off on wednesday and was fearing food and fuel to the international space station when ends up falling back to earth let's turn to peter all over for the. for for the latest. later later on we'll actually have peter all over for you but first let's actually get to a different story we're going to hear from the founder of capital science connections innovation agency he's dr patrick full of and he says that it is unlikely that this rocket could actually cause. was i want casualties the 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 it's more imagine it is in the place 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 must not be that sort of assessment. well peter oliver is with us now let's turn to have a live peter help in the search for this. crash has been delayed because of the weather but is there any danger for the keep all in the region from this wreckage that were being issued by those looking for the wreckage of this down spacecraft

that there was no danger to the local population from folding their brief but they has been statement put out warning people local people living in the area not to go out into the woods to try and maybe collect souvenirs from they say from the wreckage of this crash because they could be some toxic elements left him in amongst the wreckage this was carrying fuel of course fuel for itself to get out of the earth on the sea but also was carrying a replenishing load of fuel for the international space station they don't want to see anybody come to any harm because of because they've gone looking you say for souvenir out in the woods try to get a piece of the spacecraft well the rescue the wreckage mr mission the recovery mission is currently still being hampered by two renshaw rain terrible weather in this area of southern siberia near the the the area outside this means the helicopters khan fly over the area to try and to try and find all of the pieces of

this vehicle now that the rocket failed to reach the required speed that would allow it's a great through the atmosphere it broke into three pieces and it spread itself across what's believed to be a very very wide area going to be a lot of time before they can gather up all of those pieces on the say the terribly hard but by the weather but this is a recovery operation is going to be taken very very seriously the loss of the the progress module is bad enough but it's the fact that it was being carried by a soyuz rocket that will be raising eyebrows a mongst boss calls moss the soyuz rocket does it stands as the only way mankind has both. consistently getting people from the earth up to the international space station this is j.c. the nasa shuttle program being scrapped the soyuz rocket that incredibly important to the space program to the development of the i.a.s. says this isn't just a concern for russia for us because most this is the whole international space

community and i've been spiking all spoken to the astronauts who were there they referred to the the soyuz is a an old wood cool suit russel's it's a run six groans but it always gets you up and gets you down and fast the hasn't been i proclaim with this so you said over the years so if them when they could eventually recover this type of that it wouldn't even cover the wreckage from this crush they'll be looking to make sure that if it was a problem with the soyuz that caused the accident that they could find out what that problem was impulsive right but i'm sure they'll be plenty of people within those most in within the space community internationally hoping that it wasn't a problem with the saudis that it was something else that caused the malfunction leading to this crash well peter thank you so much for tracking that for us i know the world is watching specially in the u.s. where they are dependent on the russian space program for profit trafford thank you so much for keeping tabs on that for us. all right well still ahead for you this

hour a security breakthrough. north korea says that it is ready to return to the six party negotiations table with its leader kim jong il's says that he will consider a moratorium on nuclear testing. and not just work if you can get it the football superstar samuel eto'o signs a deal with the russians and dishes on the market child find out the eye watering sum that he used to be paid. and he wanted dead or alive for a war for almost two million dollars has been offered to any regime loyalists with delivers colonel gadhafi to the rebels in libya and he has also been reportedly promised safe passage out of the country if he were announces his leadership. at all for his whereabouts remain a mystery in the rebel saying that he is in or around tripoli the opposition claims to be in control of most of the capital but there are still reports of resistance

by government loyalists and while the battle continues the car both of libya's vast oil riches is already in full swing artie's sara firth reports on the western powers are lining up for the peace of the poppy. hill to the house of mesa modules and you'll strike oil whether or not that's sayings true when it comes to libya we're going to play a pivotal role in the country's future q we have seen restruck interests meet. the press or interest test because one. or two rebels why don't we. even go and try to restart sending all of this is possible because that is the first course of threat. under gadhafi and that's a very tough sell. he's strange it to the concepts of friends with benefits but being quick to casey out to the new transitional council inviting the public face of the group back in egypt will. to italy for talks. closest

european allies when the native bombing campaign began back in april probably switch sides again causing the rebels. the agenda theatricals visit is expected to be discussions about italy's lucrative energy contracts with libya before the wall almost a third of italy's daily energy needs were imported from libya an oil giant any with the largest foreign operator in the country with oil and gas contracts running until two thousand and forty two thousand and forty seven because many here have been doing all they can to safeguard these contracts but it's they will be able to maintain these previously close business cards is by no means a given in a post gadhafi libya proceed to extremely uncertain and there are little guarantees one of the biggest problems for both italy and the western countries since the beginning of the war has been

a struggle to adequately understand the internal workings of the rebels themselves . amongst the rebels there are many factions islamist tunisian people by card it's this organized and counted and then chiefs of these groups of rebels are formed patricians before we were with gadhafi and then they completely changed their face they went with the wind is the same italy i think they're corrupt politicians. they personally on a number of occasions three business connections less than a month vacation returned from a fact finding trip to libya with a handwritten letter she says was written by the berlusconi in it he allegedly says he was surprised by your decision to join the coalition against libya specially after we signed the friendship and cooperation treaty between our two sides the cittie he's referring to he was signed just two months before the libyan uprising the letter goes on to ask why did you join our enemies or that any diplomatic

dialogue or investigation now seems to be making you friends but maybe the final chapter they could be anything the conflict will continue. i would say that the end of opens up a new phase of the war which is among the rebels themselves there is no consensus both in italy and in general and the up and coming meeting on who will be the person to talk to 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 it's silly along with many in the west could well find previous lucrative relations may turn out to be just as good as the rainfall the fair weather friendships there for the. well first fighting between the loyalist forces for gadhafi and the rebels continues to rage but interferes with a prolonged civil war and u.s.

government adviser on terrorism dr weil the far as that colonel gadhafi could still amount some sort of a counter-offensive he also warns that the rebels have serious political issues ahead. 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 he was well in unleashing a new insurgency saw his regime would go but he 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 war non-conventional weapons that are across libya and that has to be secured saw 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 saturday sunday then most likely he would be in the shower 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 for him because he would be found if he had left tripoli it's going to be very difficult for the current rebels future government to find him in the desert now that was dr follet walid far as now meanwhile one of america's best known senators actually believes that it is russia that could be next in line for a libya style uprising of course i'm talking about former republican presidential candidate john mccain who has lashed out at moscow saying that the spirit of the arab spring is due to spread it could in fact even reach china and if you can has the details from washington. senator mccain has got a very far from far fetched outlook 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 libya has already achieved 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 leading people or many libyans are outraged by the fact that foreign powers have essentially made those choices for them and looking back at it egyptians who don't seem to have achieved what they were fighting for so as far as the mark proceeds concern in those countries there's still lots of questions but according to became 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 it could be said it's a start next to fall but too many mccain's statements are not surprising really because he is seen as a mouthpiece to those forces in washington who have this hawkish mentality and

would want to see some crime trees go upside down especially rich nations or strategically important ones that's pretty 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 it's america's biggest creditor it's the world's number one exporter of goods as we know the senate is basically calling for revolutions in those countries presuming that their livelihood is so bad 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 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. their forces have been largely ignored following mccain's logic though does that mean that americans to 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 who senator mccain obviously you know kelly is other people as one why is french right. now the u.s. as well as some e.u. countries are calling for an arms embargo and white are saying to be imposed against syria following the crackdown they are russia and china are opposed to the plan but boss was saying that countries should instead be encouraging dialogue with syria not just punishing the country but with reports from syria scares it and also difficult to verify the way that it is perceived from the outside it is a one sided as many of the notion of reports began to work part of the morning this is how the world has been watching the unrest in syria through mobile phone cameras by means of food the trump the wall street in the country has flooded international news or rather blooded killings and executions supposedly at the hands of president

arsons miter whom cell phones have become a trademark regime syrian officials those seized the scenes a staged the you tube is not credible and eye witness account is not credible after come our requests now and shout help they're killing us next door. these are not credible ways to assess the situation the un has been downed over the violence against his people the damascus emphasizes from afar until recently no u.n. mission has crossed the syrian border is a correspondent with saudi arabia raised at rb international news channel in syria he says the government claim itself becomes this image of the goodwill that mikey and his merry band foreign journalists and fact finding missions from coming in and read them and allow us to work can i just take a camera and go filming even here in damascus and you should and i would never wait until the government made a statement ten million reporters and the everyone has

a phone why should they wait with the like an abscessed or information many people have used their cell phones to film what's been happening and to share it with the 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 i cannot tell more and he doesn't want his face to appear on screen hiding the truth about himself and tries to reveal the truth of another kind . of filtering. information about what's going on. there are some armed forces on the ground that are going to believe.

that your forces are killing. unarmed. civilians and to broach the. most innocent afraid of being thrown in jail has been there three times already. his afraid of being killed or friends in the room where. this person was for me and who was the only one who was thoroughly can. work both of those are very british the syrian state t.v. brings their evidence to support their leader. but be cheerful mother crying over her boy apparently they said that was in the homes but here it is same picture indeed it was made in the right in the person named dick again a sad but just. one of the most oppressive regimes in the world to them of the

press has never been serious strong point because this is all we are all we are for the truth to come out the birth sides of the story to be told not just one side all the time the 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 move to be among the readers goals and this conflict the press is not just about coverage it's a war and as in every war the goal is to green roof your t.v. damascus syria. now as always if you've missed anything that we're covering here you can always go and check it out on our web site r t v dot com a lot more news and stories there meanwhile here's a taste of what else you can go online right now on our two web site iran files a lawsuit against russia in the international court for the moscow with moscow's

the ability to begin to develop a peace process that could lead to demilitarisation and lowered tensions in the region so will they do it will the south koreans and the united states sit 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 it they're talking about the precondition 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 be we have more than twenty eight thousand troops stationed in south korea and 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

be capital believes russia's economy should be able to withstand a low oil price. this time around compared to two thousand and eight russia is more immune to 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 s. and p. downgraded the united states and the all the markets a little 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 even praise continued fall in the ruble will take most of their most of the people and the economy will be more protected from external negative for external shocks. combo's for good as well presses a lot with investors looking ahead to the speech of the head of the federal reserve on friday and all eyes are known whether ben bernanke will announce another round
