tell him to let your group the fictional google how would international. every green day till intel who. in search progress emergency crews are looking for the unmanned russian freighter that was taking supplies to the international space station but crashed back down to earth in siberia. different priorities the 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 high under the new government. caught up in the information war while the u.s. and the e.u. a pushing for more sanctions against syria journalists on the ground say there's a lack of objective coverage coming out of the country. and gold has suffered its biggest drop since late two thousand and eight after hitting a record high of nineteen hundred dollars earlier this week for analysis and this

is the consequence of minutes. very welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow emergency crews are searching forests in siberia for potentially toxic wreckage from the unmanned russian cargo space ship that crashed on wednesday the 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 that's going to. peter all about standing by live and he did talk to us just how toxic is the wreckage how dangerous could it be for naught. well what we're hearing from the russian space agency. is that the progress module was carrying one and a half tons of potentially toxic fueling barrels on board now we are hearing from

the local authorities there that they're saying that there was no reports of any any injuries any council to the ground from falling wreckage however they are saying as well though due to the the sheer remoteness of the area of southern siberia where this took place they can't account for everybody who may have been there one thing they are saying though is no one no local residents should be going into the woods in search of any of the wreckage nobody should be going out trying to hunt for stephen is safe from this this crash teach of the fact that these toxic fuel being carried on board you know the the the recovery mission is well and truly underway now they're going to be wanting to find out what exactly caused this crash to take place now the rocket failed to make the required speed to allow it to break through the earth's atmosphere and end all but breaking into three pieces and crashing down into earth now that there are some theories that suggest that you to the the fact that the rocket had already entered parts of the earth's atmosphere

the after the explosion some of these may go to even reach the earth that may have been took in the south now the recovery workers and most will be looking to try and piece together what exactly happened because this of course involves the soil used rockets the only theory we have at the moment to transport crewmembers from the i.s.a.'s to the earth and pock now this is after the the retirement of the american space shuttle of course leaving the soyuz is the only way to misty and to space so it's a really big deal everyone seem to find out exactly what went on and there is information trickling out over the until they find out what caused the soyuz missions will be grounded. as you're saying i want to main lines of themes from the from the reporters that are russian authorities saying no souvenir searchers should be going in looking for bits and pieces on the record but you know as you were saying the spacecraft was carrying essential supplies to crew members of the international space station how big of a problem is it there now that i'm going to get them. well it is going to be

a problem there's a quote from mike super n.d. who's the space station program on a chase associated with not saying that any situation like this is going to affect them however they receive a massive dump of supplies from the last space shuttle mission that went up there should be enough to keep them going for several months if they would it terms of food and and other supplies there. there is another supply supply trip was planned for october if that can be brought forward he doesn't see any problems of this taking up the slack caused by this incident however it's when we look at the issue of if he is going to be grounded that becomes a big issue for the six astronauts currently on board the i.s.a.'s astronauts from russia from the united states and japan up there right now now this becomes an issue because if there's no there's so use missions taking place going up there then there's no way of bringing back hoffa not crew there's already one soyuz more

tool docked with the i.s.a.'s that can only take three people six crew on board of course if they needed to evacuate the international space station for any reason they simply aren't enough seats right now are times when it's time for action or in the for the meantime and on any immediate danger or running out of supplies or concern for that matter but this is not the only spacecraft failure of russian response i mean this is a. cause for concern. yes indeed it's actually the fool from the past nine months in december of last year three glowing us positioning satellites plummeted into the pacific ocean which caused several key figures in roscoe's most to lose their jobs in february of this year a military satellite went offline on the eighteenth of august. just last week a saucer like being launched from the same launch pads at the baikonur cosmodrome was also lost so this is the full thing the space of nine months however the words we're hearing coming out of cosmos is that they are still able to fulfill their

commitments when it comes to supplying the international space station and as it stands at the moment despite this recent this most recent crash they don't see any problems completing their mission of continuing to send supplies to the international space station so a tough year for the space program at the moment people are going about it only things can look up from here on out but i thank you. because we know no official comment yet on whether russian space agency would consider putting the soyuz a space program on hold following the latest failure but many experts believe a serious investigation should be completed before the project can be contained this story is a rocket carrying the crew is slightly different but not not that much different than the one that was the progress they're going to want to make sure anything similar they could go on about why you want what happened they want to make sure that they don't apply so there are a whole lot of talk sure about that launch itself i think there's

a general perception. these types of space launches are routine over time they happen on every every week or so every month but just now in the last week not not just a russian rockets a chinese rocket killed last week as well that's three rockets in seven days. it's a tough business and it's unforgiving. you without you got from moscow and still have you this hour a security breakthrough north korea says it's ready to return to the six party negotiations table as leader kim jong il says he'll consider a moratorium on nuclear testing. and nice work if you can get it football superstar samuel eto'o signs a deal with russia's ambitious and much color final the eye watering it's something he's going to be getting. wanted dead or alive i reward for almost two million dollars as we offer to any regime loyalists who delivers colonel gadhafi to the rebels and it's also reportedly been promised safe passage out of

the country if he renounces his leadership his whereabouts still a mystery the rebels think 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 crikey backing moralists and while the battle continues carve up of libya's vast oil riches is already in full swing italian prime minister silvio berlusconi is hosting the libyan rebel leader about now with the two countries energy contracts expected to be the focus of discussions. for three balls and i want western powers lining up for a piece of the pile killed in the house of mace motor was and you'll strike oil whether or not that's sayings churi when it comes to libya well it's going to play a pivotal role in the countries here we have to fear is from interests that. keep western interest to check if you want. but also the rebels are fighting we the

future may be government interests to restart selling oil it's possible the stranger to the concepts of friends and benefit. being quick to k.z. up to the new transitional council inviting the public face of the greed that will go to italy it's all. these places that you have here. an ally in the eighty eight bombing campaign began back in april when a properly switched sides began causing the rebels. full the wall almost a third of its least daily energy needs were imported from libya an oil giant any was the largest for operating in the country because many here have been doing all they can to safeguard these contracts but the italy will be able to maintain its previously close business ties is by no means a given. in libya the seat select 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 the struggle to adequately understand the internal workings of the rebels themselves. amongst the rebels there are many factions islamist tunisian people. it's just organized and chaotic and many chief of these groups of rebels are former politicians with gadhafi and they completely change their face. as they see anything i think corrupt politician it. could be personally on a number of occasions through business connections just a month ago a 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 tied 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 berlusconi now seems too busy making the friends it was that maybe the final chapter of the many feared conflicts will continue i would dare to see. if you talk. which is among the rebels there is. now it's a census no consensus told me an internal. meeting who actually the person to talk to. would be. preparing for him. now is to lay low with many in the way he will find previous lucrative relations may turn out to be just the rainfall the friendship. but later says it's not taking a back seat after helping the rebels advance into tripoli but it's assisting in the hunt for colonel gadhafi u.s. government adviser on terrorism but while the fighters says that caffie could still

mount a massive counter offensive while the rebels still face some stunt tests khadafi has many supporters in his birthplace and many supporters in the south if gadhafi has left the the tripoli area up to the south he could well unleash a new insurgency saw his regime will go but it will become the new rebels in the current rebels now will become the new regime so we are still far away from a complete stranger libya number one is to form quickly a new unit or multiple units of the libyan army because what we have right now is a multitude of militias many of these militias are islamist militias they have their own political agenda and then you have weapons in the hands of many people plus you have weapons of mass destruction or nonconventional weapons that are across libya and that has to be secure thought 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. meanwhile one of america's best known senators believes it's russia that could be next in line for a libya style uprising former republican presidential candidate john mccain has lashed out at moscow on the american c.b.s. news channel saying the spirit of the arab spring is due to spread and could also reached china not he's going to church can has more from washington. senator mccain has got a very far far fetched out 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 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 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 are still lots of questions but according to the campaign it's all great on the fire of our placings should move on to other countries first stop syria according to the senator right after could alkie he said it's bashar assad is next to a fault but too many mccain's statements are not surprising really because he's seen as a mouthpiece for those forces in washington who have this hawkish mentality and would want to see some countries go upside down especially rich nations who are 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 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 following mccain's logic though does that mean that americans too would have to take to the streets and rebel and recall it's not clear really strong 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 know haley is other people as one lies french writer said. and it is going to come right there for us some e.u. countries are calling for an arms embargo and wider sanctions to be imposed against syria following the crackdown but russia and china are opposed to the plan with moscow saying countries should be encouraging dialogue in syria not punishing it and the reports from the country it's hard to verify it the way it's perceived from the outside is decidedly one sided but it's very financial reports that began in

the morning this is how the world has been watching the unrest in syria through mobile phone cameras into footage from the war stricken country has flooded international news or rather blooded. killings and executions supposedly at the hands of president our sense military coup and cell phones have become a trademark of the regime syrian officials though insists the scene is a staged you tube is not credible and eye witness account is not credible. and shout help they're killing us next door. these are not credible ways to assess the situation the un has condemned over the violence against his people for damascus emphasizes from a far until recently no u.n. mission has crossed the syrian border as a correspondent with saudi arabia based at our being a national news channel in syria he says the calculations claim itself because this image the goodwill of my liking it is

a ban foreign journalists in fact finding missions from coming in and they don't allow us to work they cannot just take a camera and do filming even here in damascus and you should and i would never tell the government made a statement there are ten million reporters in the country like everyone has a phone why should they wait with the like o. access to 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 one really against censorship is a double edged sword while mobile video can leave 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 marzan not his real name is the man behind the camera is a freelance journalist currently working for a western media outlet he can not tell more he doesn't want his face to appear on screen height 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 that are going to believe. that your forces are killing. unarmed. civilians and to. receive free. muslim isn't 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 there. for a few across the others are very peripheral syrian state t.v. brings their evidence to support their leader. promotion of the myth and. be cheerful mother crying over her boy apparently there this said it was in homes

but here it is same picture indeed it was made in the right person line they can then assert they just play 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 ask all we ask is for the truth to come out for both 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 prove to be among them it is goals and this conflict the press is not just of coverage it's a war and as in every war a goal is to win reflection are to damascus syria. now and only twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital do you remember missed

anything we come from here on our teachers on our website or dot com it's a taste of what else you'll find a lot of yourself right now iran of files a lawsuit against russia in the international court over moscow's refusal to supply its best three hundred defense missiles to tehran. last tuesday's unlikely earthquake in the u.s. the two nuclear reactors offline outside of washington d.c. could have been caused by a controversial mining method known as fracking all the details of an article on. north korea's reclusive leader kim jong il who rarely ventures outside the country is heading back home after talks with president medvedev in russia's republic of beauty. says it's ready to return to six party talks on its nuclear program without preconditions. the man from the national campaign to end the korean war believes it's south korea and its ally the u.s. 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 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 and that 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. oh and are you with us here live from moscow let's go to some other international news for you this hour steve jobs founder of the electronics giant apple has resigned its c.e.o. following health problems we replaced by chief operating officer tim cook jobs who underwent a liver transplant i thought suffering from pancreatic cancer said he could no longer handle his duties fifty five year old has been on a medical leave for an undisclosed condition since mid january. the former bosnian serb military commander about to come a lot of is to return to the international tribunal for the former yugoslavia in the hague later on thursday like it was accused of responsibility for the killing of almost eight thousand bosnian muslim men and boys it's in one thousand nine hundred five it comes a day after goran hadzic wartime leader of rebels in croatia pleaded not guilty to

thanks that's right time for a business update hello and a very welcome was start with the price for gold the yellow metal has suffered because drop since late two thousand and eight after hitting a record peak of one thousand nine hundred dollars earlier this week the precious metal was some shiners the comics exchange race trading margins by the most in over two and a half years to curb volatility but to my caution from of all could go to those losing two hundred dollars in twenty four hours doesn't mean the fundamentals have changed. people have to realize that you know prices of any assets they go up they go down things don't go up and up forever and that includes school we've had a huge rally in the gold price in the past week and so it's only natural that there's some correction. so clearly i think what you're seeing if you're the trading activity the noise as you call it in the market the fundamental case for

gold hasn't changed at all in the past couple days and so i think we're going to see continuation of what we've seen for the past ten years which is the ever increasing gold price. but have a look at the price of the black gold oil prices a high underpinned by the crisis in oil which may be investors all looking ahead to the speech to the head of the first reserve on friday and all eyes are now on whether ben bernanke will and also another round of money making to prop up the u.s. economy. and as you've heard gold has slumped to one thousand seven hundred fourteen dollars per ounce losing about two and a hot percent off to his in another record of one thousand two hundred dollars earlier this week members of the bulls down for profit taking hope of new measures in the u.s. to try to bolster its recovery. chairs in europe makes the footsies down so just marginally out of the debts is up point seven percent as you can see all the cropland twenty years in moscow proper to dropping slightly in early trades in the

r.g.s. in the mice itself both gaining. a hot scent and the my sense is actually the polls just let's now have a look at some of the individual share moves here banking stocks saw among the main gave us the. most one percent meanwhile no surprise mining from full metal is in the red stats on we could gold another metal mine and ok is also down just part of the strong second before it starts the company has boosted its net profit by. five hundred eighty seven million dollars. well given the current market on session c.e. group or high from troika dollars says cap stock saw the best. my recommendation for short term used to be very liquid stuff so we can see moods will turn fifteen percent just during one we just during a few. we definitely should be in liquid stocks at some point when volatility in

the markets will go down you should look it's a more fundamental story and growth stories like consumer sector in russia we. will secure russia b.p. i think there's also be. found in some of the news russian foreign direct investment almost tripled in the first half of the year around eighty eight billion dollars across the border with manufacturers and financial industry receives the most capital meanwhile around eighty two billion dollars have fled the country in russia's net foreign direct investment accounts it's billion dollars. and finally russia's restive north caucasus region could be a power to set up its own so look in the valley the blueprint suggested by local authorities involves establishing a high tech hot make instead of composite solar power systems. that the one billion dollar project could break even in two to seven years but the cost split between investors and the state and this also sort of can valley in the region would help

attract investment and develop alternative energy sources the project still needs to be approved by the russian government. ok that's all we have time for now yorkshire data and more business stories for you in less than last time with my colleague martin acosta.
