and here's going to mars and welcome back home. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow with me rory to show you and our top story for you this hour the crew of the international mission to mars are finally returned to earth but here in moscow they never actually left the russian capital but six volunteers did enter the mark space ship and for five hundred twenty days they ran all the normal and abnormal space tests and a broader four riots he of things to keep themselves busy for this walk trip to mars and back let's cross over to our teaser. for more on this of amanda's occasion peter this is massive for space enthusiasts around the world what are the broader implications here for the future of space exploration well the five hundred twenty

day mission has shown bit mankind can survive the the grueling monotony really of day to day tasks on board a mission to mars where you can see the live pictures there behind me of what's going on outside of the mocked up spacecraft module great scenes as they open the door of the russian cosmonaut that are in this scene pointing the air they're clearly happy to be out of the module of course this project not just a russian project it is a joint project between the russian space agency and the european space agency as well and it contains participants from around the world three russians in there but also participants from china from europe and from central america all of them very glad to be out there speaking to the media right now but instead of hearing me talk about it we cross live to the site itself where we should be able to see tom past news there. what's it like there you're right next to them was the action being in

here. you can hear all the cheers going on the six crew just came out over to the white they've spent five hundred twenty days in there without sunlight they looked a bit dazed to see all the cameras and the crowds waiting for them but doubtless fear has been electric waiting for them to come out and they're now addressing saying thanks for all the people who have supported them all the researches and scientists who've watched over them every day to try and see how they're getting on it's been a psychological journey really to mars and back they carried out a mock mars landing but they've been there and back hypothetically it's really been to see how they've been able to cope psychologically with such a long period in isolation and such a long period of routine in their lives. and talking about their. to continue peter ok we don't seem to be we're trying to listen in to the the live

sound that we do and we seem to be able to get that. ok we're going to we are going to listen to that now we'll be able to listen to the live transmission. and five of the most professional. however waterways. i will be forever thankful we have all of those who stood close to me going to the stream. oh so i can tell you i know. what of a lot of your g.i. . bill your thought those who like there are ill be i'd your. story you. know money me. so. long. ok we can't hear me because you work with i'm going to say to us anyway the. participants in the mars five hundred project clearly happy to be back

amongst the real world. here we can go back to tom now there we go something we lost you for a second then i see you back again you know the type of of psychological pressure that these people have been under these simulating the real thing what type of problems what they've been looking for in these guys while they've been locked inside the module. that's a good question i think a lot of them the fears have been something called social withdrawal or social narrowing if you spent a long time in a very isolated place such as antarctica a long time to graces of seen this is well you can withdraw a little bit from from society from social interaction and they were scared. but these six men may exhibit those those signs also there may be tensions a lot of irritability between the crew of interests to spend such a long time together we haven't actually seen that in an experiment

a shorter version of this in two thousand it went badly wrong when there was a fight between two crew members and another crew member forcibly kissed another but now it seems that as you can see everyone's very happy here they've come out without any major glitches in the interpersonal relationships and i think they've coped quite well peter well we heard one of the gentleman just come out saying these are the best people he's ever worked with also some very smiley faces that we're seeing behind you also you notice on the screen you baby of the look of your shoulder and see everybody seems to be glancing all puts to try it it would have seeing. a high ceiling in a long time this is the biggest they've been in in seventeen months what kind of challenges do you think there and facing it just think back to reality as it were. i mean they face the real possible problems it's been predicted that they may be problems adjusting you know when they came out of that plant do all day long. sort

of a little bit like moles emerging into the sunlight up to being on the ground they've been in there a long time with a very regular routine eight hours sleeping eight hours working eight hours leisure every day for five hundred twenty days only with each other for company you will does tend to know a little bit when you're in the situation and it's thought that they may experience a bit of problems with the rioting that is indeed very interested with them at the moment of course they have a hundred thousand dollars to look forward to the pay for essentially keeping up a year and a half of of their lives but i think but you seem a moment of just that ok but we're going to have to go through a few days of deep grief for you to make sure it is the case i think we're going to have for it is if the grief thing before they'll be able to return to their families tom thanks very much for that because to get all of the latest well they have had plenty of time to get used well to work out what they're going to spend the one hundred thousand dollars that they get from from spending this time inside the five hundred project as tom mentioned this is

a very. very socially narrowing process they they have been cut off from the outside world at some point they did have a big pot they would cook it all the time they did have contact with the outside world through radio communications but even that was made to simulate the effect that travel into the far reaches of outer space would have so for certain periods they were on a delay so that when messages were sent they wouldn't initially receive them and of course when they got to say so far out they had a complete radio blackout so truly inside the inner workings of the mission they're now back there know coming out in meeting with their friends and families that are there will be going through the briefings to make sure that they can adjust back to life on earth. indeed and it's interesting what you and tom were saying a moment ago about just how the sheer mental challenges of being open can fire.

into this basically a one hundred eighty square meter box in some regard for five hundred twenty days you know the aspects of possible cabin fever how they were at each other's throats for such a voyage to a really is something impressive but i think one important point to make is that this was a combined effort between russian cosmonauts an international group of volunteers and the european space agency which really shows you know what is the future holds for space exploration where nasa has essentially had its wings clipped by government budget restrictions are peter will be checking in with you throughout the day here on r.t. many many thanks indeed thank you. five hundred days on a voyage to the dome. a breakthrough in space travel. richard from the red planet. mars five hundred touched down on r.t.

so i could have you with us here on our hearts here it's going to be another day of roller coaster news from greece where the government faces a crucial confidence vote prime minister george papandreou has already u.-turn gone his plans to hold a referendum on the e.u. bailout proposal that was under heavy pressure not just from world leaders but also from within his own government which is now turning up the volume on the calls for him to step down r.t. sara first reports from athens. in an extremely tricky situation and there's absolutely no guarantees at this point just what that outcome will be later on this evening he's going to be asking will make his backhand sit back and share the support and that confidence stay with one hundred fifty seats in the name in. parliament of a three hundred seat parliament he puts technical security to the very very small want to be the number of m.p.'s have been made thanks they think in support a number of them saying that unless possibly this some kind of unity government

full potential plan is on the table if they take part in state it's unclear really what will happen to the perhaps that's the most likely to some or some form of temporary unity government will be full this being a very dramatic week of decisions that have been made the week starting with the prime minister announcing plans for a referendum on the bailout plan that was met with resistance not just from outside the country from within his entitlement as well and yesterday in his parliament she dressed everything that ever friends and plan was taken off the table for the speaking to a lot of people here in athens and the feeling really is to happen jay's heart is dated it's time for the prime minister to step aside and let someone else take the helm state because i really there's a real sense of frustration and disappointment at the way he's handled this crisis and taken a lot of decisions you looking at a country. population that is suffering from economic exhaustion and we've seen

people coming out time and again to show the public and it's still a people saying that really they feel that that being nude in this place in their voices of the kind of situation is the one. offering the possibility of. action against the political class is a whole. other discussion and. has been offered. to be there if a number of calls but taking a head later on this do you think i would like to once again thank the family. that the real question here is if such a loss of topic comes in the fight with us tonight doesn't really even if to stop at a time survive that confidence they really a lot of people asking whether he should. sarah for putting right there what i for more and how the greek drama may be resolved but i'm joined by georgia couple took

of the pressure of competition law i come across the university in athens thank you for coming on the program today let's go straight to it at first you think papa john's government will actually survive today's fight were given if for the moment to get to discover this fraud probably all of the past for abuse because it would go a number of m.p.'s seem to be a goold or leave means that it's good to design in then you can you see you do so in order to form a coalition government so the actual news that who really it will manage to get this got to this world but as ludes quite another. put it well as you say there certainly seems to be a movement going against the prime minister asking him to step down but let's talk about this this huge turnabout the referendum he pitched this idea to have a referendum to let the greek people decide for themselves if they want another eurozone bailout and then he's essentially summoned to carry on with the g twenty

summit is going on explain himself the star causey and i don't know merkel and then there's rumors about him having to step down or you know if he just he just didn't panic over the situation of running out of control or does he have no control of the major e.u. heavyweights telling him where to go. goes a little unusual that it would just like a good bluff of mcgillion movement. i think you're breaking news that knows that the those not that was a good thing to go over in greece. of this lack of legitimacy of the government of his own government should get that oh they're not going to have to make. to give you people who glowing. in a way to make them accept that kids will remember we were in this movement through it and it was of course of movement of interest free to do more through cause or for him to. the reactions. of his members of the supreme views and also because of

the external reaction well that is so let's let's turn away from the whole the political side of it let's let's talk about the greeks themselves for the past eleven months now we've seen just absolutely dozens of protests against forced austerity measures for continued bailouts but here we have the people of greece being thinking that they've been given a voice for a couple of days and then their chance was just snatched away from them how are how are the people reacting you are absolutely right about the of course so far so good because i'm feeling a little deceived by these movements of full blown minister here and that's why even if we managed to pull my equal use of government i don't think that there would be doing with the basic problem that now our political system because of these the there was a dinner and this last off were people who were into the whole of the political system not just the words were who were there were it's a muscle of his own body so there's

a growing distrust among the people there to regard regarding his party but when it comes to work the major mate major players here the heavyweights france and germany have given greece an ultimatum leave the eurozone or play by their rules is not how things should be done within the blocking us course another it's a little no. prove the goose is going to grow or be in the near future the other guy and this will be you like you got your screen over alina good so when anything we're not they're going to do so but i'm sort of served with or there will be the subject of one of them not even. if you can see in there closer for most of the sarkozy. told our proceedings that exactly what is going to be your greatest influence for who it exactly be for of this number so this is not good anymore our parliament who would think that this is a political who this isn't going to be in guns but certainly are certainly does seem it seems to many that at this point the e.u.

heavyweights are doing some bullying tactics here but a georgia country girl is i'm afraid that's all the time we have for today a professor of constitutional law many thanks very much thank you. well in that great turmoil has taken over the g twenty summit in cannes observers have only been able to guess just what it was that angle of merkel and nicolas sarkozy said to the great the greek prime minister and that caused him to backtrack on his whole referendum plans i think it's a now it brings us more. the final day of the g twenty here in cannes will have three working sessions and will enter the press conference given by host nicolas sarkozy the greek tragedy has taken over this entire summit other issues pushed aside the latest news of course of the greek prime minister backtracking and saying the referendum won't be held it won't be decided by the people making european leaders here especially the backbone of the euro zone over answer in germany very satisfied with the way things are going but the children do the leader of the

opposition made a statement indicating that he supported the twenty seventh of october a plan that is a very important and courageous step they support hundred statements also indicated the referendum is not an end in itself and it was a tool that was going to be considered but since the opposition supporters of the plan then became less useful on the critics analyzing this in different ways some of them perhaps saying the france and germany have basically said you either play by our rules or you get out and greece has decided that this is the way to go they don't want to be the euro zone a lot of different debates going on here of skeptics saying that you're just moving the problem down the road that eventually greece will have to do for your across saying this is the only way to save the euro nicholas sarkozy calling it the beating heart of europe and that we will never let it die by and that is going to be what a lot of these leaders are speaking about in these final sessions of the summit comes to an end on this second day with that said emerging economies worried about

their own voices they agreed the brics that they would try to help the euro zone they would give money behind to agreed on a final some but they have a condition and president medvedev made it very clear that it's not a hidden agenda they want their voices to be heard they want more say in the i.m.f. and other financial institutions of course the g twenty was created to widen the spectrum to have not just the. decisions on the global economy be made by the seven most rich's current richest countries but by the twenty eight biggest economies and the big question is has that been. well a little way along the french coast in nice and monaco and c g twenty processors have been holding their own gatherings at the rich the fate of others they turn to a new strategy to get their message across but of. course the final. dressed in caricature marks of u.s.

german and french leaders the protesters organized an alternative news conference the great angela merkel added that she would support the referendum in greece but only if the answer was yes the events followed the protest marches across the french riviera. well coming up a little bit later in the program here on r.t. we report right from the front line of one of the biggest occupy wall street protests. there if you remember people tear gas rubber bullets several injured and dozens of arrests our correspondent witnessed how it all unfolded in the city. plus. as nato denies reports of a planned missile attack on iran we report on where such threats of military intervention mainly. now are twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow a british student may be extradited to the u.s.

over alleged internet piracy experts say even if he was found guilty by a court at home he would most likely face to fine but events could take a much worse time for him in the states thanks to a controversial extradition treaty signed in the blair era artie's either bennett now reports something. on the surface they're a picture of calm but these are very anxious times for richard o'dwyer and his family the university students facing possible extradition to america for alleged copyright infringement he ran a web site providing links to pirated videos it wasn't a problem for british or forty's but rich is nevertheless a wanted man you know it's really just awful. frankly because you know if richard had done anything wrong we were quite up it seems to me responsible in this very well it was a total time case is now being heard at this magistrate's court in london the

latest chapter in julie's struggle to keep her son at home they told us that being a million best occasion in the u.k. had been dropped so it was like a bit of a sigh of relief in the next sentence they said we got an extradition warrant so maybe. and then you must go to the court immediately i thought he was going to be extradited like that day richard's website t.v. shack with a free stein poster pirated content including the latest hollywood blockbusters none of it was actually provided by him but that doesn't matter to america it says the site breached their copyright laws and claims he's theirs to punish because their websites lucrative advertising was aimed at us concealments these courses where richard o'dwyer spates will be decided royds on whether or not his actions are considered to be a crime in the u.k. this trial was his last chance to put forward his defense and now it's up to the judge to decide but according to digital lore experts the decisions not

a tough one to make it's quite possible that he's only him guilty of a civil offense offenses you know something he could potentially get fined for and you know it's clearly a u.k. case as well. because he was doing this in the u.k. it's not really any case for him to be extradited to the united states is not clearly was infringing copyright in the united states told britain signed the extradition treaty with america in two thousand and three nearly a decade on controversy still surrounds it the u.s. can extradite whoever it wants without proof or hearing privileges a huge case does not get with a treaty was a must change for the government while in opposition but a recent review of commissions just deemed the treaty still fair several leading in peace refused to agree though the commons home affairs committee calling for changes was a mistake in the first place the sun is tricky and i think it was

a mistake it's not a level playing field even with a partner like america we need to make sure that we are being equal and we are being fair to our citizens and that is not the case of the opposition against the extradition treaty is growing in westminster dissenting in peace of just force through a debate on it later this month and the parliamentary review on it is jew in the new year all this though maybe too late for richard he is just two weeks until he learns whether america will get what it wants out of bennett r.t. london. he's coming to you live from moscow now the city of oakland california is reeling after one of the biggest protests the occupy wall street movement has seen . demonstrations were arrested on several injured offer what started as a peaceful rally was met with a heavy handed police response of the end but that always before the two thousand and seventeen call for protesters forced a shutdown of americans fourth largest seaport a general strike america's first of

a century also paralyzed circle businesses and oakland's tell our correspondent lucy cutoff was at the very heart of the unfolding events so throughout the day and night and i hear she describes how the back stabbing across from oscar grant's plaza which is the site of the by oakland movements work protesters have been camping out for weeks in order to raise their voices against the equality social injustice the same issues that are motivating thousands of occupy wall street movements all across the country but of course images are the things that we remember images are what's now a story and this morning in downtown oakland these are the images they are going to be seeing across all of the screens on the mainstream media the destruction the isolated acts of vandalism and violence here on the ground in oakland we're going to take you through some of the moments as they unfolded again we are still reporting from the it's about wentworth ask you can hear behind me loud explosions possibly tear gas from the police officers there are police hundred the not two

hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear as you can see advancing behind us right now on the occupy oakland movement now we don't know how many officers are back there we saw a massive group of them sort of walk down that street before that was the street a standoff for several protesters had barricaded the street from the police several pieces of furniture and whatnot were lit on fire but again not enough of an action to provoke this kind of a militant response by the police force here they were shooting last month there is freedom at people. her remains to be seen how november second in downtown oakland will be remembered will be the charred remains of a few isolated instances that violence but the successful shutdown of the nuisance court reporting from downtown oakland fartsy out. well there's a detailed account of the dramatic events in oakland and exclusive video from our own the scene crew are all there for you on our r t and you tube channel and of course our twitter feed. is also keeping an eye on other cities where the wall

street protests are taking place in her latest tweets she says there's a lot of talk about the possible victualling of the protesters camp in new york zuccotti park but that could happen as early as this friday i do say outrage on the u.s. protest movement with lucy catherine off the twitter feed we are tweeting that r.t. underscore. nato has denied it intends to mount preemptive attacks on iranian military facilities as far as mounting concern that america britain and israel may be moving toward a policy of intervention in iran but that's a head of a crucial report by the u.n. nuclear watchdog do next week they will assess the military side of tehran is nuclear political analyst chris bambery says any attempt to attack the country would lead to fierce retaliation and a long a lucky one. anyone reading the press reports on these contingency plans being

dropped by the minister of defense here in london for an attack on iran and must read worrying that if iran is not developing and you could this will develop and you could be so free so the idea that the americans the british and these really are looking towards an unprovoked attack on iraq and the world a much more dangerous place i cannot imagine a worse alliance with these three people in the west seem to underestimate the strength to really nationalism if there is a strong national members of what happened and for. the shah was when it installed and trained by britain and from america. memories of the shah we know in the west of the shah it will be there will be a bloody war if there is a tackler around iran is not iraq as of two thousand and one there will be retaliation from the world is a dangerous place because of these reports. british media are saying attack on iran

could come as soon as next november that's due to the country's resilience despite international sanctions being stepped up various media side the u.k.'s ministry of defense and whitehall as their sources to check this out in full just we have to deal with a lot onto r.t. dot com. in the past the hour here in the russian capital with r.t. a recap of our main stories in just a few minutes. coming .
