in the room in. the bubbles it turns out ok i did offer but i want to get down to patrols on a transfer of power at the proprietor of the final time on the tunnels out of town the. rebels say it's cuisinart talks that's how to put the libyan leader for more join the rich nation of from tripoli in just a moment. north korean leader kim jong il travels home way across russia by train to meet president macbeth it's a young is willing to restart international talks on its nuclear program. and. russian prime minister vladimir putin isolated afaik shakeup in the russian space agency after the loss of yet another unmanned mission last fall. and with nineteen dad along because he's close to hurricane irene also from new york causing severe flooding for leaving millions without electricity.

i don't welcome to the program this is all she's a weekly review of oliver and we start in libya where rebels have ruled out any possibility of talks with monaco duffus side the national transitional council says all the colonel deserves is a rest not dialogue he's maria for notion has spoken to the rebels and reports now from tripoli. we have been able to speak to rubbles information minister here in tripoli and he has made his position quite clear the rebels will not negotiate with the criminals the rebels will not negotiate with the killer is they want to get our fee and they're running after him street after street district after district and as soon as they catch him they will throw him to jail this statement comes after the new solution use it appears that. duff is information chief has apparently

called a.p.'s headquarters duffy is ready for talks with the rabble to form transitional government and even appointed his third son side to lead the negotiations and this news comes just a week after a successful assault by the rebels on the libyan capital tripoli which became kind of breakthrough in the libyan six month long. civil war well meanwhile the rebels are progressing quite well they're currently controlled in most of the country and including the capital tripoli and they are now claiming that they are preparing for what they call this final battle an assault on his native town still at the same time the rebels say that the go round to go in with his supporters there in syria and if it's the cash for they will no be any military operation if only they agreed

to surrender if not. will start within the next two days while the people here in tripoli are struggling because currently the city is facing in severe sure the chauffeur electricity gas line magazine and water garbage everywhere on the streets because municipal services happen paralyzed people trying to deal with it themselves they are. taken out to the streets with brooms and. trash bags trying to clean them they also now live in in fear because there is no police but the. also try to do. that now to the streets and organizing kind of. volunteers to for check. so the situation is very hard to call here in tripoli. concerns have been raised to control piles of chemical weapons with reports of rebel factions have been infiltrated by islamic extremists

washington with that kind of guarantee terrorists will not get their hands on the arsenals but has pledged to try to prevent it from happening. tripoli a city in chaos there's constant gunfire both aggressive and celebration and on the outskirts of the capital stockpiles of chemical weapons nato know very little about the people who might come to power in. tripoli you know if you could caches of weapons of mass destruction then again people really don't know what's there and if this is falling into the hands of certain people i mean the situation is potentially disastrous despite the heavy presence of rebels in tripoli the chemical stockpile appears still to be in the hands of what's left of his government that's both good and bad news following a series of meetings in two thousand and three moammar gadhafi agreed to allow weapons inspectors into libya the first step towards a bronze of

a w m d program in return for a normalizing of relations with the u.k. and u.s. he wouldn't use all move the material but now thanks in part to nato in support of the rebels he's on the back foot and may feel he has nothing to lose by disregarding that agreement cry of victory or martyrdom will strike an ole miss notes to those who know his weapons potential given the violations of. national territory of libya by nino led rebel forces i think the idea that he would be beholden to these types of. grievance would be possible at this point and certainly he was called it as seen in early july and that he would be willing to strike out in europe if tripoli was attacked so i think it's a fair assumption to say that if there is no capability that he would be looking at an option at this point and anyway but the alternative rebel control of chemical weapons is arguably worse according to many some of the rebel factions have links

to al qaida or of commentator abdel bari atwan says the rest. got itself into this trouble now it has to decide how it will figure it out and the options aren't attractive we know that the majority of the people who are fighting are muslim extremists so how they're people is going to be with those people are very mindful of chemical but i believe there. would be more problematic than that that. there are some indications nato is considering putting peacekeeping troops on the ground in libya we journal experts warned back could be seen by parts of the free libya movement as an act of aggression but having supported the rebel movement nato must now deal with the consequences even if that w m d armed islamic extremists. and journalist richard spencer says there's another war raging in leaving and

that's between the rebels are there will be in charge after the kentucky regime falls i think would be us accomplish is to establish a coming civil war in libya which we have of finance we will be here we will have trained number of people who will be cheering one another who shouldn't be. sure and think that these rebels are these nice little folks who want democracy and freedom and. this is clearly it should intervene how are we to meet it in action revenge against the enemy and we could learn to be in control and they're going to be fighting with each other. next month in years. carry on a little while we'll storm watch that never lying low as tropical storm irene slips out the u.s. east coast turning streets of the big apple and many other places into relives. prime minister vladimir putin has ordered

a review and improvements to russia's space industry after yet another unknown spacecraft crashed on wednesday the progress has been answered all with cargo for the crew of the international space station before hurtling in siberia crunch has sparked fears of contamination from toxic fuel that could be dangerous for local people and the environment great agrees with this story. the moment it's came crashing down. a lot sean was there from the baikonur cosmodrome three hundred twenty five seconds later the progress craft a total soyuz rocket plummeted back to earth i thought it was a plane a first but then i realized queens never find their clothes more quietly then it turned into some bright object and then saw that it was partly i heard a loud noise it was like three bangs one really loud and two quieter it was due to talk with the international space station on friday delivering essential supplies to six crew members on board rocket malfunction has been blamed for the

unsuccessful launch as a craft ascended into orbit a signal failure here makes the third stage in the sequence in this part of the rocket was an act of ated as a result it failed to ignite of pel the progress out of the earth's atmosphere. teens have be sent to southern siberian altai republic to look for signs of any wreckage image fees toxic fuel may seek into the surrounding soil and water supply so far they've drawn a blank to ready the repercussions of the book's mission of being fails much further afield but the question of how to resupply the international space station proving the most pressing. operation planners always keep in mind a possibility or a big cargo space ship not talking to the international space station for some reason so they could go on board pairs of water and food supplies to survive on for another three or four months until their. graphs are right for the space station

time then maybe on the side of ross cosmos russia's space agency but the loss has still raised significant alarm bells and it's no use a rocket carrying. a crew is slightly different but not much to. the progress they're going to want to make sure anything similar could go on that way will happen. like those more turbulence of russia's space program back in december when three glow in a satellites the country's alternative to g.p.s. plummeted into the pacific ocean with this latest setback roscosmos is the force the titan quality control in hope there won't be a repeat of the problems. you could use the six nationals currently on board the international space station especially since after the scrapping of the u.s. shuttle program there's now global importance on the success of the soyuz two

griefs r.t. . north korea's leader has announced young is willing to return to international talks on his country's nuclear program at a summit with nutriment about it in young males bench more than three days on the train before meeting a russian president in siberia where they also discussed a possible engine deal. a man of mystery north korea's kim jong il prefers to stay out of the media spotlight the great leader as he's officially known at home constantly fears for his life which is why he avoids planes has armored cars and eats with chopsticks designed to detect poisons but the fear of ongoing sanctions and tough financial times proved more significant as kim jong il embarked on a widely publicized trip to russia making tracks from pyongyang in a special armored train gifted to kim's father by stalin the leader crossed the border with russia and made his first stop in the far eastern town of his son from

there he traveled on the translate beren railway to the bike call region with the republic of borneo as his final destination and a meeting with president mediated his ultimate goal but before meeting with his current russian counterpart the north korean leader stopped to pay his respects to the first soviet leader this pos the idea is one of the biggest in the world and by stopping here kim jong il has bates sure that the entire world knows what might have been russia's past is still north korea's future as kim jong il's press service scrambled for their multitude of motion picture cameras to document the great leaders every word the two men get down to business. as far as i understand the democratic people's republic of korea is interested in the implementation of this trilateral project and which the russian federation and south korea will also take part the pipeline which would bring say three natural gas to the hub of asia

would mean money for the struggling north korea and a new market for russia the north koreans are not going to be able to. price for gas imports from russia would overpay but because the building the pipelines of the department has to be extended into south korea since that was not a korean market but the formal state of war between north and south korea is a huge absecon and this is yet another situation where russia has an advantage bush is in the perfect position to play this role because of their closer relationship with the united states over the past years because of the fact they are insane as a lot i did with north korea as china is you know president obama once said that we must change our river tension from what separates us to what unites us and russia plays a role right now to help lead the world in that direction markedly different approach

from some of the other members of the six party talks like south korea and the u.s. was constant sanctioning has failed to bring results and results are what this brief trip to russia appears to have achieved with kim jong il's announcement of a desire to return to the talks and implement a march for human production and testing of nuclear weapons if the talks resume for north korea is a chance to recover from recent deaths of famine and get some much needed food aid for russia it's a chance to do but everyone else has failed so far catherine is there about r t one of the. this is not easy and so ahead for you this hour a journey through russia all the way here a region where an unusual festival held in the name of a leader and agreed vegetable is entertaining adults and children alike. millions of new yorkers have been taking cover as hurricane irene sweeps through the city turning the streets into rivers and bringing power shortages the storm has

killed nineteen along the u.s. east coast and caused the power counterfeiting millions forcing the closure of the big apple's public transportation system and subway outings rina rings at the nation's from. the city it was for carried away in france for four irene begat its way down the eastern seaboard but at this point things seen extremely hot relatively calm and actually looking out my window on the sun is beginning to come out here in new york city where that does not mean that there are not been any damage from this tropical storm now irene was a hurricane but according to meteorologist when it was making its way down the eastern seaboard once it i went through a cloud through north carolina it sounds great it's where tropical storm ida time and hit men happen we did see shades of of rain coming down when i became extremely heavy i was downgraded to tropical storm as you mentioned at this point there's been severe flooding all along the hudson river in manhattan and they involve the

showcase the region's tourist potential organizers here make a bold claim that pickled cucumbers and this knowledge of you stubbins are the best in the world. but while the players saying folksongs extolling the virtues of the green staple there's only one stalwart actual vegetable can be bought and i've travelled eighty kilometers to be in this queue i'm curious about what it is that makes them so special but i'm a bit disappointed i wasn't allowed to buy more disheartened by the long wait we decided to take our surge to the locals it's the middle of the pickling season if you can there's a harvest that but in brine. and mixed with herbs. the recipe to what makes them special is a strictly kept secret of the magic ingredients are deal garlic and horseradish.

but the truly unique part of the local pickling process is that it's sealed barrels are dumped in the river for six months and serve a bit cold water gives them a subtle chalky flavor luckily we found some pickles left over from last year's crop all the stalk of cucumber has made me quite hungry for the local delicacy so i decided to give it a try myself. banky traditionally the cure of region has been known for its them covered toys base an ancient pagan beatty's these clay figurines have been handmade here for hundreds of years handicraft strict tradition prescribes that athens was depicted very specific subjects namely present women and improbably colored animals and. this is not just a trademark of our region this is russia's visiting card you want to well take notice of the toys can only be made by women and apprentices have to perfect their craft for years before they can be called masters and i suppose the must. before we
