in the door of the russian cosmonaut they were in there seem punching 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. what's it like there you're right next to them what they're actually being here peter. you can hear all the cheers going on the six crew just came out a bit a bit white they have spent five hundred twenty days in there without sunlight and looked a bit dazed to see all the cameras in the crowds waiting for them but now misfit here 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 of mars landing if 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 able we're trying to listen in to the live sound they were doing we seem to be able to get that. but we're going to we are going to listen to that now we'll be able to listen to the live transmission. and. the more professional for. b.p. to. however war with. i will be forever thankful we have all of those who stood

close to me going through this. so i can tell you i know. what the bell already without of your g.i. . bill. your. story your. money my knee. ok we can't hear me i'm going to say to us anyway the participants in the five hundred project clearly happy to be back amongst the real world. if we can go back to tell now there we go. for a second then i see you back again you know the type of of psychological pressure that these people have been under it is simulating the real thing now what type of

problems would they have 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 spend a long time in a very isolated place such as antarctica antarctic bases have seen this is well you can withdraw a little bit from from society from social interaction and they were scared that the these six men may exhibit those those signs also there may be tensions a lot of irritability between the crew having 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 their interpersonal relationships and i think they've coped quite well peter well we heard one of the. just come out saying that 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 over his shoulder and see everybody seems to be glancing or puts to try to say they would have seen. a high ceiling at a long time this is the biggest they've seen in seventeen months what kind of challenges do you think though and just think back to reality as it were. indeed peter 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 door they looked sort of a little bit like moles emerging into the sunlight after 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 if you will does tend to narrow a little bit when you're in that situation and it's thought that they may experience a bit of problems with all of

a variety of world it is indeed very interested with them at the moment of course they have got 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 at the moment of just ok but the going to have to go through a few days of deep grief for you to make sure that that is the case i think they're going to have four days of debriefing before they'll be able to return to their families tom thanks very much for that we're going back to you to get all of the latest well they have had plenty of time to get used to work out what they're going to spend one hundred thousand dollars that they get from from spending this time inside the mars 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 cut off it all the time they did have contact with the outside world through radio communications but even that was made to simulate the effects that travel into the far right. it is about the space would have so for certain

periods they were on a delay so that they wouldn't 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 now coming out in meeting with hopefully their friends and families that are there to not be going through briefings to make sure that they can adjust back to life on earth. indeed and it's interesting what you and tom were saying moments ago about just about the sheer mental challenges of being of being confined to this basically one hundred eighty square meter box in some regard for five hundred twenty days you know the aspects of possible cabin fever how they work at each other's throats for such a voyage really really is something impressive but i think one important point to make is that this was a combined effort between a russian cosmonauts an international group of volunteers and the european space agency which really shows you know what 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 know. a breakthrough in space travel. returned from the red planet. mars five hundred touched down on r.t. . it's a good to have you with us here on arts 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 you turned on his plans to hold a referendum on the e.u. bailout proposal and 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 calls for

him to step down. reports from athens. just popping j's in the stream really 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 he'll make his back to back the plans and share the support in that confidence vote with one hundred fifty two seats in parliament of a three hundred seat parliament who's got a technical majority but a very very small one and there's been a number of m.p.'s that it made it clear that they're not going to be voting in support of a number then saying that unless possibly there's some kind of unity government that's a potential plan that's on the table if they don't pass a confidence they it's unclear really what will happen is thought that perhaps that's the most likely the some for some form of temporary unity government will be full does being a very dramatic week it decisions that it be made the week starting with the prime

minister announcing plans for a referendum on this bailout plan that was met with resistance not just from outside the country from within his own government as well and yesterday in his parliamentary address everything that that referendum plan was taken off the table for the speaking to a lot of people here in athens and the feeling really is the popping j's heart is day that it's time for the prime minister to step aside and let someone else take the helm safe because really there's a real sense of frustration and disappointment at the way he's handled this crisis and taken a lot of the decisions you're looking at a country and a population that is suffering from economic exhaustion and we've seen people coming out time and again to show that public can get to protest in the streets still people saying that really they feel that they're being ignored in this place in their voices of the current situation is the one. offering the possibility of

a referendum. being. action against the political class as a whole it's better to let that be a discussion and ever have some sort of safe developers be enough to. let that be the referendum of course that they going ahead later on this evening all eyes will once again be firmly own grief but the real question here is it's such a loss of public confidence in the private a scene that doesn't really even if just i think they can survive that confidence they really a lot of people asking whether he should. be sarah for putting right what are for more and how the greek drama may be resolved i'm joined by georgia cut the book of the press or of constitutional law. university in athens thank you for coming on the program today let's go straight to it at first you think the government will actually survive today's vote were even if we managed to get into the scope of this what would be a very broad would be. bust. because it would go

a number of pieces seeing that google or leave things that google designed. then you can use you do so in order to form a coalition government. with the issues that will manage to get these girls are going to vote but there's those up who would go to another. room but 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 then he's essentially summoned to cannes where the g twenty summit is going on explains himself to suck causey and angola merkel and then there's rumors about him having to step down or you know is he just is he just in panic over the situation running out of control or does he have no control of the major you heavyweights telling him where to go with those that explanation was that it was just a bluff. movement. i think it. knows

the that is not that we should believe that to go over and. begin to account of this lack of legitimacy of its own government of his own government should keep those that you're not going to make. to the people who can only impose it in a way to make them accept. his government who are in this movement feet into the woods of course of movement of interest free from because of for the reactions. of his members of his own views and also because of the external reaction so let's let's turn away from the whole 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 belts here we have the people of greece being thinking that they had 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 . deceived by these movements of minister and that's why even if he managed to form a you quote looser government i don't think that they are going to do with the basic problem that now our political system has been going to use that goes a dinner and this the last people of the world to the whole of the political system not just the doors were open to all or the whole it's a special court battle so there's a growing distrust among the people that regard regarding pup and join his party but when it comes to the major major players here the heavyweights france and germany have given great an ultimatum leave the eurozone or play by their rules is that how things should be done within the block anything after that absolutely nothing. to prove the very group will be in the near future the other guy and this

will be you. however limited only to the or not they're going to do so. that there will be the subject of one of them look even with good of that if you can assume that they're closer for medical and. told our procedures that exactly what is going to be your question to the referendum in the exam the four of december so this is not the any more our parliament would do that this is who this is this isn't going to do you can in class or certainly a study does seem it seems to many that at this point the e.u. heavyweights are doing some bullying tactics here but george some i'm afraid that's all the time we have for today a professor of constitutional law many thanks very much thank you. well and that great turmoil has taken over the g twenty summit in cannes observers have only been able to guess just what it was that anglo merkel and nicolas sarkozy said to the great greek prime minister at

a cost him to backtrack on his whole referendum plans and he said now it brings us more. the final day of the g. twenty here in cannes will have three working sessions and will and with 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 of france and germany very satisfied with the way things are going. through due to the leader of the opposition made a statement indicating that he supported the twenty seventh of october fly and that is a very important courageous step by step up and true statements also indicate that the referendum is not an end in itself but it was a tool that was going to be considered but since still position support of the plan then it became less useful if your 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 that they don't one of the eurozone 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 default bureaucrat 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 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 voice that they agreed the brics that they would try to help the eurozone they would give money to him and to agreed on a final sound 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 by twenty biggest economies and the big question is has that been done yet. well a little way along the french coast in eastern monaco and c g twenty protesters have been holding their own gatherings at the rich for the fate of others they turn to a new strategy to get the message across that of. all it. all the. dressed in caricature of u.s. german and french leaders the protesters organized an alternative news conference the break angle of 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. or 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 people tear gas rubber bullets several injured and dozens of arrested our correspondent witnessed how it all unfolded in the city. plus. nato denies reports of a planned missile attack on iran we report on where such threats of military intervention made me. 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 have faced a 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 on the. 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 website providing links to pirated videos it wasn't a problem for british orthe or sees it 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 happy for him to be responsible about in this country where he was told time they 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 the criminal investigation in the u.k. had been dropped so it was like a bit of a sigh of relief but in the next sentence they said we've got an extradition warrant to america. 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 was a free stand post to 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 the websites lucrative advertising was aimed at us can see humans these courses where richard was fate will be decided it 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 guilty of a civil offense offense is 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 it's not

clear he was infringing copyright in united states 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 the u.k. does not get the treaty was a must change for the government while in opposition but a recent review it commissioned just deemed the treaty still fair several leading m.p.'s refused to agree though the commons home affairs committee calling for changes was a mistake in the first place to some of these treaties 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 of being equal and we are being fair to our citizens and that is not the case at the moment 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 jus in the

new year all this though maybe too late for richard he is just two weeks until he learns where they are america will get what it wants i've given it r.t. london. and r.t. has come to you live from moscow where the city of oakland california is reeling after one of the biggest protests the occupy wall street movement has ever seen about eighty demonstrators were arrested and several injured after what started as a peaceful rally was met with a heavy handed police response of the end of the day hours before that thousands of anti corporate protesters forced a shutdown of america's fourth largest seaport about the general strike america's first in over half a century or so paralyzed several businesses and oakland's downtown our correspondent lucy cuffing off was at the very heart of the unfolding events of throughout the day and night and here she describes how they went. we're standing across from oscar grant plaza which is the site of the occupy oakland movement work

protesters have been camping out for weeks in order to raise their voices against acknowledgment quality social injustice the same issues that are motivating thousands of occupy wall street movements all across the country but of course images of the things that we remember images are what's now a story and this morning in downtown oakland these are the images they're going to be seeing across all of the screens on the mainstream media the destruction the isolated acts of vandalism and violence the on the ground opened we're going to take you through some of the moments as they unfold and again we're still reporting from the some oakland as you can hear behind me loud explosions possibly tear gas from the police officers there are at least hundreds of the not two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear several men 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 a walk down that street before that was the street of the standoff for several protesters had barricaded the street from the police and several 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 shouldn't amount people there are means to be seen how november second and downtown oakland will be remembered will be the charred remains of a few isolated instances of violence but the successful shutdown of the nation's ports reporting from downtown oakland fartsy on the sickout. well there's a detailed account of the dramatic events and oakland exclusive video from our own the scene crew old therefore you want to see you tube channel and of course our twitter feed. is also keeping an eye on other cities where wall street protests have taken place. tweets she says there's a lot of talk about the possible infliction of the protesters camp in new york's zuccotti park and that could happen as early as this friday i do stay updated on the u.s. protest movement with lucy tough enough to twitter feed we are tweeting. on the

school called. 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 ahead of ahead of a crucial report by the u.n. nuclear watchdog do next week that will assess the military side of terrans nuclear political analyst chris bambery says any attempt to attack the country would lead to fierce retaliation and a long bloody war. anyone reading the press reports on these contingency plans being dropped by the minister of defense here in london for an attack on iran must be worrying that if iran is not developing a nuclear missile it will be developing and you could miss so face with the idea that the americans the british and these really are looking towards an unprovoked attack on iran and the world a much more dangerous place i cannot imagine

a worse alliance with these three poems people in the west seem to underestimate the strength of a reunion nationalism that is a strong national a sense that. what happened. to. the shah was with that installed and maintained by britain and for america's long memories of the shah that we say to the west of the shah it will be there will be a bloody war if there is an attack on iran iran is not iraq as of two thousand and one there will be retaliation from our mass and the world is a more dangerous place because of these reports. british media. could come as soon as next november for the country's resilience despite international sanctions being stepped up various media. sources are to check this out and in full just we have to do is. talk.
