7:02 am
a return to the red planet or all of these are following the experiment very closely for our peter good to see you certainly a big day for the participants but how are they though after. such a long time of such confinement any bouts of a cabin fever well after five hundred twenty days in confinement inside the mock took module well the doors were eventually opened and i thankfully opened and they stepped out into the real world now the six month crew. looking to be well go through the briefing right now of the five hundred twenty days that they spent in. insights the the module right there. it's this is this experiment to see basically the psychological effect a trip to mars would have on the crew and how they would work together inside such a facility now those that took part in this and some of those who were. on some of
7:03 am
those that took part in this are looking to be part of future martian missions after five hundred twenty or twenty days of mission it's tripper. we are proud to be able to prove that they're human can go to mass we hope we can help or in designing and planning the next or the future missions to mars and we're ready to get into the next piece are going there. well this experience certainly hasn't put him off this whole operation was a world in international cooperation co-operative mission the russian space agency working with the european space agency to put this experiment into into craft this now the crew itself was made up from people from all around the world three of them were russian there was representatives from china as well as from france and
7:04 am
central america who will find out a little bit what it's like on the scene where the mars five hundred module is we can now trust live to tom who is there tom what's going on where you are. well peter i remember on june the third last year watching this door behind me seals and i was the start of the five hundred twenty days which ended when i watched them the door open at last after all that time and the crew emerged little bit white faced little bit bleary eyed into a into a cheering crowd after all that time they all stood together in front of microphones and they said how glad they were to work with their other crew members andrew got through what is really quite a feat of an jura it's really to be in style relation and with a very strict routine day in day out for all the time to discuss a bit more about this i'm joined by remy mitchell he's head of the european space agency's office in russia rene we never quite knew what to expect when we started
7:05 am
just six experiments watching you think. up to this very long stretch of time. i think there one of things that we have. the first and see today even without having the data we get from experiments because of course we see that there are no general showstoppers in terms of medical problems problems and the crew of six or five hundred race. well that's different from much more to selection process because this was one of the crucial ingredients transfer working together then of course to a lot of other medical. records and things are different. even if you're immediately here even. if of course as you say the selection
7:06 am
process and it was primarily a psychological extra's. kind of copland's with the up against the fears and how they've been overcome. by of course the biggest fear the worst of it will be the problems of the. infantry division in recent days in isolation it's very tough for the transfer of course but i must say that to be considered to prove this has been working very hard very serious over these first tranche of days each and every day of it and really prove it interest and success. of thank you very much i mean i remember seeing some bookmakers and put a warm on one of the crew going insane as a result of this experiment hasn't materialized and i think they can now look forward to the deep grief period free of all those. thank you very much tom well
7:07 am
as. compensation for taking part in the mission each participant received one hundred thousand dollars but they've also had plenty of time to try and work out what they're going to spend that. there were serious point of them being in there was the science that comes from it. and the people behind the last five hundred project have said this yes it has been a success however in terms of the journey into the far reaches of space they are saying no that it is really not even the first step but the first step towards the first step of mankind flying off and going to hopefully try and set up some form of settlement on mars. all right right there are fascinating stuff in india peter thank you very much. five hundred days on a voyage to the on. a breakthrough in space travel.
7:08 am
return from the red planet. mars five hundred touchdown r.t. now we are covering that story all day here on out or it's going to be another day of a 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 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 course for him to step down sara furthur of course from athens. in that 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 his back came back and said should this court end that confidence eight hundred seats. in parliament of
7:09 am
a three hundred seat parliament which could take me majority did a very very small one in the number of m.p.'s i did it made it clear that no thanks they think in support this being a very dramatic week decisions to be made 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 own government as well and yesterday in his parliament she trusts everything but that referendum plan was taken off the table for the speaking to a lot of people here in athens and the feeling really is to pop in j's heart is day that it's time for the prime minister to step aside and let somebody else take the helm because i really there's a real sense of frustration and disappointment at the way he's handled this crisis and save the lot of the citizens who are looking at the country and the population that is suffering from economic exhaustion we've seen people coming out finally.
7:10 am
say the public and it's still a people saying that really they feel that they're being rude in this place in their voices of the danger the current situation is the one. offering the possibility of. a reaction against the political class is a. distortion. of course but going ahead later on this evening all eyes are once again against the family home but the real question here is if such a loss of public confidence in the fight with us tonight doesn't really even if to stop can survive that confidence they really a lot of people asking whether he should. now please or so forth right there or the georgia country girl or so professor of constitutional law at the democrat those university of greece says that it doesn't actually matter how the drama results
7:11 am
because greeks are just too disappointed with the whole political system. myself as a good person feel a little deceived and made these movements are over for me so. that's why even if you manage the former you close or go in with a good thing going to the basic problem of the now our political system i'm going to use and the who is a dinner at least the last people who want to see the whole of the political system not just the words one who will or the world. she's on but who believes very broadly in your future that other guy of this will be you people of your screen however i believe you could surely do we are not going to do so heard him say of the would be this article whatever the movie would be good for that soon there are losers of america in circles if they are practically we have told our brain is that exactly what is going to be we are grasping for the overhead to get the exact for
7:12 am
this number so it is not good anymore our parliament to do this is a political in the news this is a couple of billion pounds and as we just heard the greek financial turmoil is taken over proceedings i bet you twenty summit in southern france observers have only been able to guess just what it was that i'm going to merkel and nicolas sarkozy said to the greek prime minister that caused him to backtrack so quickly on his plans for a referendum he said it's an hour away it's there for. the final day of the g. twenty here in cannes we have three working session and it will and the press conference given by host nicolas sarkozy the greek tragedy has taken over this entire summit other issues pushed aside i believe this 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 back of government of the euro zone france and germany very satisfied with the way things
7:13 am
are going but the close from the deal to the leader of the opposition. made a statement indicating that he supported the twenty seventh of october slimed it is a very important and courageous they support hundred statements also indicated 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 look if you don't do critics analyzing this in different ways some of them are saying there france and germany basically said you either play by our rules for you get out and greece has decided that this is the way to go pick up one of the euro zone are a lot of different base going like euro 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 because 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 as the summit
7:14 am
comes to announce 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 but how much 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 these decisions on the global economy be made by the seven most riches can't richest countries but by the twenty biggest economies and a big question is has that been done yet. and it's an hour or a little way along the french coast and monaco and c g twenty protestors have been holding their own gatherings at the rich for dictating the fate of others they turn to a new strategy to get their message across. for
7:15 am
the part of the week that dressed in caricature masks of the u.s. german and french leaders the protesters organized an alternative news conference angela merkel added that she would support the referendum in greece but only if the answer was yes i do events follow a protest march is. french riviera but coming up a little later in the program we do report from the front line of one of the biggest occupy wall street protests. they were shooting. at people tear gas rubber bullets several injured dozens arrested our correspondent witnessed how it all unfolded in the california city of but. without seeing our tensions are once again mounting against iran and ahead of a crucial report by the u.n. nuclear watchdog due next week i thought israel tests a new ballistic missile and reports that suggest the idea of
7:16 am
a military strike on the islamic republic is being pushed by israeli prime minister benyamin netanyahu to discuss the situation we're now joined live from what i'm sorry sir but international consultant and author adrian it's. good to see you today so we've seen a lot of intervention in the region certainly this year when you think about the whole arab spring there's already a lot of military hardware in the area already in place how possible is it that an attack on iran is really being considered. we have to be very cautious how we analyze the news there was a front page article in the london daily mail yesterday saying that the u.s. and the u.k. were drawing up plans to attack iran now this has been going on for almost for more than four years now these permanent threats against iran on the part of the israel who are calling for a preemptive strike. who said or these two days ago and it all coincides with the battle is route is really attack on southern lebanon in two thousand and six so i
7:17 am
think we have to be very cautious and basically on the stone that what iran is is the cornerstone of probably what is an ongoing very tough negotiation to move forward towards the world governments we're russia and china are not going to bow in very easily to the western powers and you ran is the cornerstone because contrary to iraq which is on its own so then hussein contrary to libya and afghanistan iran has definitely a very strong commercial and trade agreement with china and has a very strong trade agreement with russia although it's not official it probably has some sort of military alliance with russia too so i think the world we are seeing is we are probably edging closer to what might become a full fledged war in the region even a world war with iran is the cornerstone if it is attacked by israeli american british or e-com. forces in the near future it is very interesting how you bring
7:18 am
russia and china into this you know basically describing that the massive trade agreement between iran and china and russia certainly if the west did try and attack iran it would certainly flare tempers in two of the biggest world powers that of russia and china now moments ago you mentioned the issue of israel if israel did unilaterally attack iran as we know it was a few days ago a test fired this new intercontinental missile do you think america would have to support its closest ally he would have to be involved. america supports israel unconditionally in the diplomatic strategic military financial spiros there is a whole line of thought in america from condemning stephen walt of the harvard university and of chicago university that says a zionist influence through apec the american israeli public affairs commission is so strong that it has succeeded in making american foreign policy prioritize the
7:19 am
national interest of israel over the national interest of the united states now the united states is not so much bent on war public opinion against iran but israel is so one could envision that israel is a wild card in my unilaterally attack iran and it will then be a counter attack which will be ferocious from iran against israel and then the western media who planned the whole thing out so that it will drag public opinion from america and europe to support israel and work and happen after that is anybody's guess because you don't know what russia will do we don't know what china we do will do we don't even know what pakistan and india and they are losing are you bringing you bring in a more regional and even a global perspective here but we saw the american backed nato effort in libya just over the past week or so we've been seeing the reports from a u.n. nuclear watchdog about syria and an alleged nuclear plant there that actually part the past two decades has been a cotton mail but now the u.n. nuclear watchdog talking about a possible strike on iran just what is the geo political global agenda here coming
7:20 am
from the west. well i think that basically we have a global power elite. where the states embedded in the united kingdom and in many. what is not part of the united states britain and the european union they are bent on world government and they used the u.s. military prowess to try to achieve that and nato is probably to try to achieve that now what we have seen in libya is very different from both can happen with iran because think of it at the same state that saddam hussein is and that's being alone in the crossfire but iran is not iraq iran is not libya and things will be very different and i believe that perhaps in their desperation they are looking towards a world war three scenario because as happened with world war two it is an opportunity to kick the chessboard a reshuffle all the cars and i suppose of this global power elite bent on world government will try to reshuffle all the cards in their favor i wish we had more
7:21 am
time to take this further aytaroun topic here international consultant and author many thanks. thank you. and without you live from moscow right now the city of oakland california is reeling after one of the biggest protests the occupy wall street movement has seen about eighteen demonstrators were arrested in several injured off the what started as a peaceful rally was met with a heavy handed police response at the end of the day before that thousands of anti corporate protesters forced a shutdown of america's fifth largest seaport a general strike america's first you know health a century but also paralyzed several businesses in oakland downtown our correspondent who say cut off was at the very heart of the unfolding events throughout and i describes how the all of them. were standing across from oscar grant's plaza which is the site of the occupy oakland movements work protesters have been camping out for weeks in order to raise their voices against quality
7:22 am
social injustice the same issues that are motivating thousands of occupy wall street movement all across the country but of course the images of the things that we remember images are what's now a story and this morning in downtown oakland these are the images we're going to be seeing across all of the screens on main street you get the destruction the isolated acts of vandalism and violence on the ground zero but we're going to take you through some of the moments as be unfolded again we are still reporting from the. as you can hear behind me loud explosions possibly tear gas from the police officers there are at least hundreds of the got two hundred three hundred police officers in full riot gear several me 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 of the standoff for several protesters had barricaded the street from the police several several pieces of furniture and whatnot were lit on fire pretty good and
7:23 am
not enough. action to provoke this kind of a militant response by the police force here they were shooting on their freedom at people hurting me. see how november second little doubts are opened will be remembered will be the charred remains of a few isolated instances the pilots of the successful shutdown of the nuisance court reporting from downtown oakland fartsy and this is now. there is a detailed account of the dramatic events in oakland an exclusive video from our on the scene crew all there for you on our arts the you tube channel and twitter feed also music company offers are also keeping an eye on other cities are. protests continue to take place and one of our latest tweets here she says there's a lot of talk about the possible eviction of the protesters company in new york's zuccotti park but that could happen as early as this friday they operated on the u.s. protest movement with lucy cut off twitter feed we are retreating. underscore. twenty
7:24 am
three 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 but he would most likely have faced a fine but events could take a much worse time for him in the states all thanks to a controversial extradition treaty signed in the blair era parties are reports. on the surface there 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 author or sees it reaches nevertheless a wanted man you know it's really just awful. frightening because you know if richard had been anything wrong we were quite happy being to be responsible in this very very long time the case is now being heard at this
7:25 am
magistrate's court in london the latest chapter in judy is struggle to keep the son it home they told just one thing to me. that's a geisha in the u.k. had been dropped so it was like a bit of a sigh of relief when the next same terms they said we got an extradition warrant so many. 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 u.s. consumers this quarter is where richard o'dwyer spates will be decided it rides 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
7:26 am
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 been 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. so really any case for him to be extradited to the united states is not clearly was infringing copyright in my to state stall 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 muscle change for the government while in opposition but a recent review of commissions just in the treaty still fair several leading m.p.'s refused to agree though in the commons home affairs committee calling for changes
7:27 am
so it was a mistake in the first place to sunstreak i think it was a mistake it's not a level playing field even with a party like america. we need to make sure that we are being equal and we are being fair to all citizens and that is not the case of the opposition against the extradition treaty is growing in westminster this indian piece of just force through a debate on it later this month and a 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 are going it not see under carter now or three thirty pm on friday here in the russian capital you with r.t. i'm sure i'll be back with you in just a moment with a recap about stars. the
