well good morning it is nine am here in the russian capital of moscow i'm lucy catherine oven of course you're watching our t.v. now adverse weather is hampering the search for the wreckage of an unmanned russian cargo space ship which unfortunately crashed in the all tile region and southerners to be various now the progress vessel blasted off on wednesday and was fearing food and fuel to the international space station when it ends up falling back to earth let's turn to peter all over for the. 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 fuller and he says that it is unlikely that this rocket could actually cause any casualties the launch trajectory of all of these crawl tends to pass over very sparsely populated regions or even over the ocean in the case of the u.s.

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 would like to put a figure on it but certainly tens of millions of dollars must be the most creative sort of assessment here. 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 people in the region from this wreckage now we're being issued by those looking for the wreckage of this down spacecraft that there was no danger to the local population from falling debris 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 atomosphere 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 at say for a souvenir out in the woods trying 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 area out-i listening to the helicopters conflicts 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 to break through the atmosphere it broke into three pieces and it spread itself across what's believed to be a very very wide area it's going to be

a lot of time before they can gather up all of those pieces all they say be terribly how bit 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 fun kind olds and. consistently getting people from the earth up to the international space station this is due to the nasa shuttle program being scrapped the soyuz rocket that incredibly important to the space program to the development of the i.s.a.'s this isn't just a concern for russia for us because most this is the whole international space community i've been spiking all spoken to the astronauts who were there they referred to the the soyuz is a an old will cool said russell sixty eight runs six groans but it always gets you

up and gets you down in fact that hasn't been a problem with the so use it over thirty years so if them when they could eventually recover this type of that it wouldn't even cover the wreckage from this crash they'll be looking to make sure if it was a problem with the soyuz the coldest the the accident that they could find out what that problem was impulsive right but i'm sure they'll be plenty of people within rosco small city within the space community internationally hoping that it wasn't a problem with the saudis and 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 her efforts so thank you so much for keeping tabs on that for us. or i will still ahead for you this hour a security breakthrough. north korea says that it is ready to return to the six party negotiation table as 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 russia's ambitious child find out the eye watering sum that he used to be paid. and he wanted dead or alive or reward for almost two million dollars has been offered to any regime loyalists who delivers colonel gadhafi to the rebels in libya and he has also been reportedly promised a safe passage out of the country if you were announced as his leadership. about off his whereabouts remain a mystery that the rebels think that he is in or around tripoli the opposition claims to be in control of the most of the capital but there are still reports of resistance by government loyalists and while the battle continues the carve up of libya's vast oil riches is already in full swing artist sara firth reports on the western powers there are lining up for the piece of the pie. jewel to the house of

mesa 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 be restruck interests the. western interest to protect to destroy. rebels why don't we. even go interesting to restart spending all of this is possible because that is the current holder right here on the gulf that i'm very tough and so. these strange it's the concepts of friends with benefits. being quick to k.z. up to the new transitional council inviting the public face of the group djibril. to italy for talks. these places g.o.p. an ally when the native bombing campaign began back in april when the power of the switch sides began courting the rebels instead of the agenda that you pros visit is

expected to be discussions about italy's legal to energy contracts in libya. the full the wall almost a third of its 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 the government had 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 in a post gadhafi libya the future likely extremely uncertain and there are little guarantee 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 are many factions islamist tunisian people. it's disorganized and counted and then in

chiefs of these groups of. patients there before were with gadhafi and then they completely changed their face there were and were the wind was the same italy i think they're corrupt politicians. be personally on a number of occasions three business connections less than a month ago she returned from a fact finding trip to libya with a handwritten letter she says was written by gadhafi to berlusconi in it he allegedly says he was surprised by your decision to join the coalition against libya especially after we signed the friendship and cooperation treaty between our two sides the treaty 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 without any diplomatic dialogue or investigation berlusconi now seems to be making the friends of the waltz that may be the final chapter the death the 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. 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 their own full of friendships. well force fighting between the loyalist forces for gadhafi and the rebels continues to rage with fears of a prolonged civil war by u.s. government adviser on terrorism dr while the forest says that colonel gadhafi could still mount 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 if gadhafi has left the tripoli area to the south he would 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 saturday sunday then most likely he would be in the

shower or in areas where his 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 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 artie's dianne's if you 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

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 levy the people of 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 have to 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 mccain it's all great in the fire of uprisings should move on to other countries first stop syria according to the senator right after could alfy he said it's bashar assad who is next to a fault 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

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 senator 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 and 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 in group alt not clear really someone 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

know hell is other people as one wise french writer said. now the u.s. as well as some e.u. countries are calling for an arms embargo and wider sanctions to be imposed against syria following the crackdown there russia and china are opposed to the plan with moscow 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 is of course one sided as many if an osha reports. were clocked in the morning so this is how the world has been watching the unrest in syria through mobile phone cameras and to food from the was stricken country has flooded international news or rather blooded killings an execution supposedly at the hands of president assad's military cell phones have become a trademark of the regime syrian officials those who used to see

a staged the you tube is not credible and eye witness account is not credible i can 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 the 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 real he is a banned foreign journalist in fact finding missions from coming in and they don't allow us to work can i just take a camera and go filming even here in the mask and you should and i would never wait till the government made a statement 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

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. not his real name as 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 pee on screen hiding the truth about himself it's tries to reveal the truth of another kind. of. information about what's going on. there are some armed forces on the ground that are going to believe. that security forces are killing. unarmed. civilians and. broached the pursuit of 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 he got shot out during the process because he was filming it was the only one who was starting to. hurt you or broke the. reserve were arrested syrian state t.v. brings their evidence to support their leader. better so what i did they should be cheerful mother crying over her body apparently that they said that was in the homes but here it is same picture indeed that was made in the reich in two thousand and nine they can then assert but they just lie one of the most oppressive regimes in the world food and all the press has never been serious strongpoint because this is all we ask all we are is 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 rule and as in every rule they go is to we refuse to damascus syria. now as always if you've missed anything there we're covering here you can always go and check it out on our website r.t. dot com a lot more news and stories there meanwhile here's a taste of what else you can get online right now on our two website iran files a lawsuit against russia in the international court of a moscow with moscow's refusal to supply its s. three hundred air defense missiles to tehran. plus tuesday's earthquake in the u. s. causes panic causing at least two reactors at

a nuclear power plant outside of washington d.c. to go online all those details and more at r.t. dot com. now north korea says that it is ready to return to the six party talks over its nuclear program without any preconditions but this follows talks between the reclusive leader kim jong il as well as russia's president dmitri medvedev in syberia the plane young says that it is it will also consider suspending atomic tests. from the national campaign to end the korean war believes that it is south korea as well as its ally the united states who themselves aren't actually willing to negotiate to look. and there is nothing to stop any party from sitting down at the table now you have the opportunity to stop the production of nuclear material you have the ability to discuss such issues you have 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 wait you must stop production on a certain date before the tot's 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 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 presence in korea. now some other international news for you this hour steve jobs steve jobs a founder of the electronics giant apple has resigned as its c.e.o.

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 is an p. downgraded the united states and they have all the market sold all the ruble depreciated 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 parties continue. the ruble will take most of their most of the heat and the economy will be more protected from external external shocks. that's how to tackle those figures so well dressed as a flat with investors looking ahead to the speech of the head of the federal reserve on friday. all eyes are now on whether ben bernanke will announce another round of money printing the u.s. economy. gold is trading flat to negative lungeing almost six percent on wednesday
