today. in search of progress emergency crews are looking for the unmanned russian freighter that was taking supplies to the international space station but crashed back to earth in siberia. different priorities for rebels in libya may be focused on the capture of colonel gadhafi but western nations are rushing to get a slice of the country's oil i under a new government. caught up in the information war while the u.s. and e.u. are pushing for more sanctions against syria journalists on the ground say there is a lack of objective coverage coming out of the country.

a mosque you're watching r.t.m. arena joshie welcome to the program emergency crews are searching forests in southern siberia for potentially toxic wreckage from the a man russian cargo space ship that crashed on wednesday a progress vessel was ferrying food and fuel to the international space station when it fell back down to earth for the first time in its thirty year history well let's now get the latest more person here all over us following the story for us peter now the search is underway for potentially toxic wreckage so how much danger is there for the people in the region in saudi. will those taking part in the recovery operation and ross cosmos the russian space agency a fairly confident that there was nobody in the vicinity where this this wreckage spell now is spread over a huge area. of southern side period the rocket split into three parts after failing to make the required speed to exit the earth's atmosphere however due to

the the terrain there and teach the fact that this area of woodland is very popular at this time of year with people thinking not and other fruits there that they can't be sure of the yes whether anybody was in the area but one thing they have said is they are telling people who live in that area to not go out into the woods looking for pieces of this wreckage don't go hunting for souvenirs the progress module wasn't just carrying food for the international space station it was also carrying fuel for the space station and the rockets powering it also laden with fuel the fuel that was supposed to blast it out of here atmosphere and they don't want anybody becoming contaminated or having any adverse health effects due to exposure to that now the recovery operation is underway it started out very slowly to two terrible weather conditions in the area that's now in full swing and they'll be looking to put together all of the pieces of this this rock the the rock the

soyuz rocket that was carrying it as this carrying the progress module now the soyuz look at maybe the piece that they're keen to look at the soyuz as it sounds the only tool mankind has to carry human beings into space in the only ferry between earth and the international space station since the space shuttle was the space shuttle program was strapped into this year so a very important piece of case the people from roscoe's most of the investigators very keen to find out if it was a problem with the soyuz spacecraft to cause this and we are hearing from inside ross caused most that until they find out what caused this the soyuz will be grounded and will be grounded until they find out anything else and no more soyuz flights right now is the latest we're hearing from roscoe's most. all right absolutely peter well while the search mission is going on let's now concentrate on the crew members of the i says as you just mentioned the spacecraft was taking

a lot of things there and food supplies actually is an important component because the a lot of the crew members have to maintain their you know routine there on the ice yes so what does that actually need for the crew members or the i'm going to be left without food. well what we are hearing is this current currently six astronauts on board the i.s.a.'s from russia the united states and japan now they were giving a huge they were given a huge resupply from the last shuttle mission that can last them for several more months quite comfortably these are all very highly trained astronauts they train for the situations where things go wrong and they will be implementing the training right now should they be forced to rush in their food for still go through what they've been told to do and how they were told to do it now we're hearing from the the program manager of the space station from nasa should the next space flights

that was the next supply flight that was due to take off in october be able to be put forward a little bit to take off soon and then they'd be able to take up the slack and would have no problems whatsoever now what i mentioned earlier on though about the soyuz being grounded we're hearing this is where we could see a problem for the crew on board the i.s.a.'s six people up there. will talk to the international space station at the moment there are only three seats on board a soyuz module should they have to try and evacuate people from the space station their only space for three people will not module without as i say no space shuttle anymore only the soyuz the only way to get up there and take people out there and take people back without thought this could bridge crew something that we're going to have to keep an eye on the food situation though it all comes down to the astronauts training and they'll be looking to get food that soon as possible to them. is good news that they're going to be ok food wise well peter and this is not

the only spacecraft failure in russian recent months so is there reason to worry. well it's not as old in fact it's the fourth in the past nine months in december of last year three. positioning satellites plunged into the pacific ocean caused several key members of ross cosmos the russian space agency to lose their jobs in february. the lights went off fly on the eighteenth of august just last week a satellite launched from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan like this progress module was went missing as well now despite all of the cosmos and the rest of the russian space agency saying that they are confident that they'll be able to meet the supply of food and fuel in components that they they signed up for and that they promised they saying that these are just buying of problems and that that supply of food will continue from the russian side. right here thanks very much

indeed for bringing us the latest on this. the founder of the capital science connections innovation agency dr patrick fuller access it's unlikely that the rocket could have caused any casualties along trajectory all of these craft tends to pass over very sparsely populated regions or even over the ocean in the u.s. launches so the risk is really very very remote indeed i think that that's not something that we need to be overly worried about the provision of a new launch vehicle and a new launch. for 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 coming but you know it's a pretty costly process i wouldn't like to put a figure on it certainly tens of millions of dollars must be the most popular sort of assessment. watching r.t. coming to you live from moscow still had 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 jong il says he'll consider a moratorium on nuclear testing. and nice work if you can get it full superstar some eola to signs a deal with russia's ambitious times and find out the eye watering sounds to be paid. want to dad or alive every word of almost two million dollars has been offered to any regime loyalists who delivers colonel gadhafi to the rebels he has also reportedly been promised safe passage out of the country if you're announces his leadership whereabouts remains a mystery the rebels think he's 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 carve up of libya's vast oil

riches is already in full swing r.t. sara furthur ports on the western powers lining up for a piece of the pie. kill to the heart of most modern wars and you'll strike oil whether or not that's sayings true when it comes to libya well it's going to play a pivotal role in the country's future here we have to feel restruck interest me. to question interest to check each one. also rebels are very wary to try living interest to restart shelling a lot of possible the stranger to the concepts of friends with benefits berlusconi's been quick to casey up to the new transitional council inviting the public face of the group back from egypt will go to italy for talks was conduct these closest european allies and the native bombing campaign began back in april probably switch sides began courting the rebels the top of the agenda thirty pearls

visit is expected to be discussions about its leisurely energy contracts with libya before the wall almost a third of its lease daily energy needs were imported from libya and oil giant any with the largest foreign operator in the country with oil and gas contracts running until two thousand and fourteen two thousand and forty seven because many here have been doing all they can to safeguard these contracts but the italy will be able to maintain its previously closed business is by no means a given. in libya the future likely extremely uncertain and there are little guarantee one of the biggest problems that they italy and other 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.

and many chiefs of these groups of rebels are from a politician's with gadhafi and then be completely change their face. we went with the wind as they say i need to make i think that corrupt politician these. people met could be personally on a number of occasions three business connections in a month the day she returned from a fact finding trip to libya with a handwritten letter she says was written by get updates about skating 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 t.c. he's referring to he was tight 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. seems to be busy making new friends but was that maybe the final chapter the. many feared 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 and so there is no consensus both in italy and in general in the up and coming meeting on who the person to talk to 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 previous lucrative relations later not just despicable but the rainfall for the friendship there. meanwhile while america's best known senators believes it's russia's actually be next in line for a libya style uprising former republican presidential candidate john mccain is lashed out of moscow on the american c.b.s. news channel saying the spirit of the arab spring is due to spread and could also reach china artie's garnished account has the details from washington. senator mccain has got

a very far far fetched out that's for sure he's sure that the so-called arab spring will rage on and will make it to countries like china or russia which according to mccain need democracy just like libya goes by the way at some point he 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 libyan people and many libyans are outraged by the fact that foreign powers that essentially made those choices for them and looking back at it egyptians who don't have seemed to have achieved what they were fighting for so as far as the mark receives concern in those countries there's still lots of questions but according to the cain it's all great in the fire of our phrasings should move on to other countries first stop syria according to the senator right after could be he said it's bashar assad who is next to a fault 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 hockey 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 bass natural resources in 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 shows 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 following mccain's logic though does that mean that americans too would have to take to the streets and rebel and recalled not clear really someone had to ask him that question because there's

a lot of discontent in mccain's home country but to senator mccain obviously you know haley is other people as one wise french writer said. reporting there well the u.s. and some e.u. countries are calling for an arms embargo and leider sanctions to be imposed against syria following the crackdown there but russia and china are opposed to the plan with moscow saying countries should be encouraging dialogue in syria not punishing it with reports from the country scares and hard to verify the way it's perceived from the outside is decidedly one sided as marie reports began to work in the morning this is how the world has been watch in the unrest in syria through mobile phone cameras i wanted food from the war stricken country has flooded international news or rather blooded killings and executioners supposedly at the hands of president our son's military coup and cell phones have become

a trademark of the regime syrian officials those seized the scenes of staged the you tube is not credible and eye witness account is not credible after we come out and shout help they're killing us next door. these are not credible ways to assess the situation the un has been over the violence against his people the damascus emphasizes from afar until recently now your mission has crossed the syrian border is a correspondent with saudi arabia based at rb international news channel in syria he says the government should claim itself becomes this image and the bill that might likely he'd be banned foreign journalists finding missions from coming in and they don't allow us to work they cannot just take your camera angle filming even here in damascus and you should and i would never wait till the government made a statement ten million reporters in the country everyone has a phone where should be away with the lack of access to information and 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 one really against censorship is a double edged sword while mobile home video can give anyone ever 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 is the man behind the camera is a freelance journalist currently working for a western media outlet he cannot tell more as he doesn't want his face to appear on screen hiding the truth about himself it's tries to reveal the truth of another kind. of. information about what's going on. and there are some armed forces on the ground that are going civilians. that were before he starts killing. unarmed.

civilians and. broached the question for you i am not innocent afraid of being thrown in jail has been there three times already. he's afraid of being killed or friends in the room where you go. during the process because he was probably you were the only one who was there to. work brought this and others are very peripheral syrian state t.v. brings their evidence to support their leader. there was. a cheerful mother crying over her body apparently there they said it was in homes but here it is same picture indeed it was made in the rug in the person's name they could then assert but they just play one of the most oppressive regimes in the world food and of the past has never been serious strongpoint because this is all we ask all we ask 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. the western world once does not give the right to the western world to grab any story. and put it as true that there's the move to be him and then he does. and this conflict the press is not just about coverage it's a war and as in every war they go to we. see the most serious which in our daily life or mosque and remember if you've missed anything we're covering here you can check it out on our web site r t v dot com and here's a taste of what else is online for you right now iran files a lawsuit against russia in the international court over a bosco's refusal to supply as three hundred air defense missiles to their herad. plus tuesday's unlikely earthquake outside of washington d.c.

the two two nuclear reactors offline could have been caused by car herschel mining method known as fracking all the details at r.t. dot com. north korea's reclusive leader kim jarrell who rarely ventures outside the country is heading back home after talks with president medvedev and russia's republic of were doubts. says it's ready to return to six party talks on its nuclear program without preconditions erik's a rocket from a national campaign to and the korean war believes it's south korea at its ally the us who aren't really willing to negotiate. 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 any 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 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 there will necessarily see if 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 speak we have more than twenty eight thousand troops stationed in south korea and close to one hundred bases in posts in a tiny country is this really to defend against the gore you know 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. to some other international news this hour steve jobs the founder of electronics

more 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 the downgraded the united states and they're all the more it's all over 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 if oil prices continue. the ruble will take most of their most of the heat and we will be more protected from external negative external shocks. trying to hold look at those figures oil prices are high underpinned by the crisis in the world which lead to investors are looking ahead to the speech will be head of the fed reserve on friday but all eyes are now on whether ben bernanke you will announce another round of money. u.s. economy. gold just launched to one thousand seven hundred forty three dollars per
