in russia to join the north caucasus club. for a record breaking paycheck. plus in business russian markets and the trading session in the red tracking losses in europe and on wall street we'll have all the figures for you and business in twenty minutes. a very warm welcome to you this is our live from moscow a major overhaul of freshers space agency has been ordered by prime minister vladimir putin that's after an unmanned resupply vehicle was lost in the skies on thursday a search operation is underway for those thought the craft may have burned up in the atmosphere however there's still concern that some toxic materials may have come down to earth reports. the problems occurred for this mission around five

minutes after the launch when one of the booster rockets carrying the progress module failed resulted in the whole spacecraft breaking into several pieces and to sending it back towards earth they have cordoned off an area of southern siberia underneath where this incident took place now the cordoned off area is being tested for any toxic elements that could be there the progress module did have on board around one half tons of toxic field now scientists testing the rocks the soil and the water and preliminary results suggest that this being no contamination on the ground for the astronauts aboard the international space station who are waiting for the supplies the progress module was supposed to top them up with fuel and food they still have some supplies on board in the worst case scenario and extra so you could be sent up to act as a second escape pod already one soyuz module attached to the international space station

a soyuz module though only seats three people or six people on board it would take that extra hour to have been sent out to be able to evacuate everybody from the space station but that of course is a last resort scenario something that is really being looked into at the minute as a viable option this incident involving at this unmanned module isn't the first in recent times it's in the fourth that's occurred in the last nine months now a full investigation has been ordered we have heard in the past the president medvedev wants to see the russian space program updated to bring it right up to the modern era the soyuz rocket is the only way we have now of getting crews from the earth to the international space station and back down again not that since the the nasa space shuttle program was scrapped earlier this year leaving the so you struck at the only lifeline we have between people on the i.s.a.'s on the ground. could see the soyuz program temporarily grounded until what caused this problem is

discovered it's now what we are hearing from cosmos though is that they are fully committed to providing every single bit of the supply network which they said they could give to the i.s.a.'s now for more on how this incident a kid and what it means for those on board the international space station we can now hear from my colleague chillan thomas what we know is that stage three fails to ignite which is the stage that propels it further into space stages one into both ignite at the same time at the actual time of launch but then there are sensors that communicate with the third stage of the rocket which you can see here and it's that third stage which propels the progress craft up out of the earth's atmosphere so that it can then be in orbit and then synchronize with the international space station talking about the international space station itself it is a very large station in fact if you spread it out over a football field an american football field including the end zones it's

a pretty big place in livable space it's about the size of a five bedroom house and has two bathrooms and it is comprised of sixteen different pressurized modules which they've been putting together over the past few years now it's relatively old in terms of space the first zarya module was launched in one nine hundred ninety eight but it has been continuously inhabited and it for about eleven years in fact in november it will reach its eleven year anniversary there's a crew of six on board right now and what this progress module was about ready to deliver was food oxygen supplies as well as personal items and hygiene items for that crew of six which are on board right now another function that this progress module was to do was to help boost the space station into a specific orbit there are about six hundred times a year that the space station has to maneuver whether to avoid space debris or if it. to actually adjust its orbit in certain ways so that it can keep from falling

out of the sky and this progress rocket has the engines and the fuel to help the space station do that so in terms of what does this mean for the international space station and the crew on board we should note that there is no routine to space flight there is always an inherent danger but there is no immediate threat to the crew on board right now because they have enough supplies right now we are told that they have about three months of regular supplies left as well as an additional emergency thirty day supply of food and water and the necessary items for every crew member on board. you're about to live from moscow now libyan rebels say they've surrounded colonel gadhafi tripoli if true the end of his more than four decades of rule could finally and all those promises to transfer millions of dollars are frozen over to rubble so let's get more details now from. live in italy we just heard from gadhafi spokesperson that he's leading the fight against the

rebels the rebels say he's trapped. well it's very very hard to get not sure it's idea exactly which information is the correct information we've really seen this happening a lot over the entire period of the war there's been a lot of conflicting reports coming out of that it's been very hard to establish exactly what's happening on the ground now as many say it's nearing the final chapter. in libya that that information really cranking up we heard the information coming from some of the rebels that they had managed to locate gadhafi that coming on the back of the announcement earlier today from the prime minister berlusconi who held talks here with the head of the national transitional council. he pledged to release half a billion dollars a phrase in. coming from. saying . leading the. rebels not really this is painting a picture still of

a very very disorganized situation in libya. why exactly it's not looking to unfreeze the sas it's not only it's really the u.s. is also looking at them freezing and huge amounts of praise and assets to libya why this money is being released to the rebels when it's not even sure exactly really who's in charge on the ground yet despite the recent events we've seen in tripoli it's a very confusing time libya still a country very much in conflict right now by a reporter here in italy. thank you very much for joining us now. you've been following the story for us. illit a lot of information that comes from the ground in libya he told his bit about how difficult it is to piece together all this conflicting information he do each of us . being located by the rebels i see still fighting against and what do you think

when as you said before it's very. moment. there are forces and information on the ground that comes from every possible site so nothing is predictable and. we can trust surely one hundred percent what we may say is that there are two conflicts going on one is the conflict on the ground the war that's going on the ground between the rebels and loyalists and this one is probably going to end if you let say the battle for tripoli is going to end you know probably predictable amount of time the other one is the economic and political conflict discovered to be more overt. so we can say for sure that these steps like the freezing of the assets are a very important tool to try to get us the siege of the situation. there is a big phoned that he's been put up to it is not up to date the news for the rebels

and this fund which is a box that will convey will be channeled. an awful amount of money from all the countries that are part of this war we must not forget that the coalition of the on tuesday to take part in the war. will be the first to be on the top would be the leaders who will take advantage of from from the from the case to be kicked that the of oil energy contracts and italy's on the forefront obviously because it has historical reasons to be to be in the forefront we have that the main oil company. is investing in the country and whose situation since it beats are stable also. fields have been stopped as we saw very important. to. together the biggest amount of contacts. with the transitional council in order to have the contracts. in order to have. in order to have the situation be more stark stable

for the company that operates in all of the country. on the other side it's very very difficult it's very very it's very very difficult to be. precise and objective on the situation because the situation is too ongoing like we the situation in other conflicts like in iraq in baghdad when saddam hussein wasn't looking for for a long period of time therefore who can see where gadhafi is at the moment we see that to wait a few what few weeks a few days for for him thank you very much. that was our sara furthur live for us from the mainland and when it comes to the issue of italy unfreezing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of. moammar gadhafi has assets. this insightful story to tell us here on are today. drill to the heart of

most modern walls 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 here we have to fear restruck interest me. the western interest to tell me just want. to rebel to ordinary. living government interest to start shelling all the streets possible a stranger to the concepts of friends with benefits berlusconi's being quick to casey up to the new transitional council inviting the public face of the group that made djibril to italy. these closest european allies when the nato bombing campaign began back in april when the power up of the switch sides began courting the rebels in full the wall almost a third of its least daily energy needs were imported from libya an oil giant any was the largest foreign operator in the country the government here have been doing

all they can to safeguard these contracts but the if they will be able to maintain these previously close business ties is by no means a given in a post gadhafi libya the future likely extremely uncertain and there a little guarantee one of the biggest problems today italy and other western countries since the beginning of the wall has been the struggle to adequately understand the internal workings of the rebels themselves. the rebels there are many factions in the midst of tunisian people. and many of these groups of rebels are from the politicians with gadhafi and then they completely change their face with the wind as they say new to me i think corrupt politicians. of all meant to be personally on a number of occasions three business connections less than a month ago she returned from a. finding trip to libya with

a handwritten letter she says was written by gadhafi to but it's gaining 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 the two sides the cittie he's referring to he was talking just two months before the libyan uprising the lesson. why did you join our enemies without any diplomatic dialogue or investigation berlusconi now seems t.v. in the making the friends it was that maybe the final chapter the death the many good conflicts will continue i would dare to see this kind of stuff you can talk to you for but she's among the rebels so there is no such. chances no consensus alternate to meet an internal. meeting whom you actually meet the person to talk to. who will be neutral with her foreign media now is silly

along with many in the west could well find that previous lucrative relations may turn out to be just as the rain full of friendship surface. and america one of its longest serving senators has predicted but russia and china are next in line for a libya style revolution former republican presidential candidate john mccain a lush at moscow saying the spirit of the arab spring on the change of promises will soon take hold he's gone it's chicanos more 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 libyan people and many libyans are outraged

by the fact that foreign powers of 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 democracy is concerned in those countries there's still lots of questions but according to the cain 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 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 following mccain's logic though does that mean that americans too would have to take to the streets and rebalance group alt 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 know hell is other people as one wise french writer said. he's going to write you with r.t. live from moscow now the u.s. and the e.u. both pushing for more sanctions against syria's government with an embargo on oil sales likely by the end of the week russia and china oppose the move but have called for an end to violence and for damascus to start social reforms over two

thousand people are believed to have been killed in syria since march was artie's national reports what's really going on there is hard to confirm. began around four o'clock in the morning so this is how the world has been watching the unrest in syria through mobile phone cameras and to footage from the war stricken country has flooded international news or rather blooded killings an execution is supposedly at the hands of president arsons military filmed on cell phones have become a trademark of the regime syrian officials those seized the scenes a staged the you tube is not credible and i witness account is not credible i could become 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 claim itself for the country's image and the deal that it might like 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 your 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 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 play on screen hide in the truth about himself its rise 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 while. the security forces are killing. unarmed. civilians and. broached the perceived freedom i am 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 he got shot out during the process because he was filming it was the only one who was sorry. but you have brought this and as a result of were arrested syrian state t.v.

brings their evidence to support their leader. but a motion for the much better. be cheerful mother crying over her body apparently dead they said that was in the homes but here at the same picture indeed it was made in the reich in two thousand and nine they condemn the site but they just play one of the most oppressive regimes in the world freedom of the past has never been serious strong point because this is all we ask all the office 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 to that that doesn't look to be among the media's goals and this conflict the press is not just about coverage it's
