that's right, fell out. he thought that slavery with the 1st ever space film crew returns to earth, a russian movie director and an actors are back from 12 days of shooting on the international space station. will bring you the moment of the landing and reactions to the historic flight in our special coverage. to be honest, i feel little effect today. such a thing happens once in a lifetime, though, so who was cool? it was like role acosta. and we were just enjoying it. and in our top stories of the week, vladimir putin rejects claims that russia is weapon, ising or withholding natural gas as europe grapples with high prices. the president also agrees to boost supplies to the you while saying the block brought the crisis on itself. but the church against state catholic bishop in france at

loggerheads with the government after a report reveals hundreds of thousands of crimes against children committed by the clergy. we speak to one of the victims. when we came to france, i was 8 and 9 years old. so i spent almost 2 years there until i was sexually assaulted by gun. i pray, not what shameful is not apologizing for an atrocity committed in catholic institutions on hundreds of children ah, broadcasting live to read from our studios in moscow. this is our to international . i'm john thomas. glad to have you with us as we have our special coverage of a specific trailblazing flight space is cool. that's why we're talking about a trailblazing russian film cruise returned to earth from the international space station actress eula, pittafield, and director clim. chapin co spent 12 days on board the i assess making the world's

1st movie shot in orbit. ah ah. and in another cosmic milestone, the soviet union sent the 1st person into space. and russia is now picking up the baton by striving for another 1st making a movie in orbit. here's the moment of the crew pair. she did down on cassock soil several hours ago. i with google. it was cool. who was like a roller coaster and we were just enjoy it. everything was sparkling outside the window. we had a lot of fun with when our flight was nearly over, we didn't want to return ness. such

a thing happens once in a lifetime, with the returning crew will now have to undergo a 3 day rehabilitation process. your spacecraft, named after the 1st person in space. you're a garden undock from the international space station at $415.00 a. m, moscow time. so the descent took around 3 and a half hours. it's a unique moment for russia. it's the space industry. and for the world of cinema, you can see our full coverage of the historic landing on our r t youtube channel. but right now, here are some of the highlights ah, ah, the soviet union was forced to send a dog into space, then they sent the 1st man and woman. and now russia is aspiring to get another 1st,

and that is filming a feature movie in orbit an actress and a film director spent 12 days of the international space station shooting scenes for that space drama. let me introduce you to the crew of his historic flight. julia pettis sailed right here is a russian film, the star and stage actress. she has appeared in dozens of films and tv series, and she's also a founding member of the charity foundation. gulch should knock, which helps children with disabilities. she's also the mother of 2 daughters. right now to the film's director, who also works as a producer and a writer as well. a movie make a through and through mr. clim ship panko. now he's the father of 3 and was recently behind several successful movies in russia including that of salute. cm more salute 7 now and i'd like to note chapin goes already set a bit of a record in space because he's not a small man. in fact, he is the tortoise russian to ever get into space and go to the international space

station ah, in his little groups else is on us ruling middle grades and i got so much just in hanson with ah, it's sabrina naso. mutually put dial. it may be leonor,

nor good nor gustavo. yeah. sheet, obviously, company we are usually is not just suki at the eden omnia, but you linear unethical. noticed all of these are, you have the, the more will, is which you, you should know them. you go to some when you most could voice are pretty easily. qu, voicemail soup. ah no. she's ashley mitchell fee. yeah. he goes to one of the jump in yeah. annoyed value with you can use the last my room line you buy yes to partner with

when you look at us, your panko and pedestal, during this pre flight training, of course it was an expedited 4 month course, but they all went through all i guess you could say the checks and balances that are required for a cause, middleton training. they all passed with flying colors, but when you see them experimenting there in 0 gravity, i mean, it looks a bit of a bumpy right. to be honest with you, but let's take a look now and what set to be the 1st ever feature film made in space. now the movies working title is that of the challenge. now it tells the story of a surgeon played by pedestal, who is sent to the international space station to perform life saving hot surgery on a customer who's actually played by real life commander. only nobody etzky who is as we speak, guiding the film, proved back home. now there were 3000 applicants this lead role,

and not all of them were professional actresses at all. well, obviously space travel can be a very risky business that back in 2018. there was a saw you is rocket failure. that happened right off the lift off. and luckily the crew kept that cool and they came away unscathed after an emergency landing. as we understand that have been no accidents since. now, one of the trickiest aspects of space travel is not the landing and here is how that is done with,

[000:00:00;00] with, with ah, well i, there is a lot of like growing anticipation tension over here. and of course, a lot of excitement, i can tell you that

a lot of people are here. filming cruise that many, many journalists, and of course of family members of those at the actress unit pretty sealed and to film director and film producer cream. she panko, they are family members and friends are also here supporting them, their return and em here joined life by the yeah. mother, mother, alpha clean as well as his sister. thank you so much for being here with us. i know you've been here for a long time already. how do you feel? no, my own style in, but we were tied in before they went on the flight. it's challenging emotionally. we support them and watch them on their screens behind us. we are very excited and when to send positive energy to them so they can withstand everything. it was an absolutely amazing experience. we had a cool from the i assess from space. it's just like a science fiction movie. i think this whole experience is a great moment of joy for them. and of course for us,

what we're looking at here is the m. s. a teen space capsule, the parachute in full display for you. now you've got to imagine off to 12 days and space of the international space station that they got to be feeling a bit of relief right now. because at this point, they know they being through the most dangerous part of the trip, they successfully flew up to the i assess, successfully spend 12 days their opening at 17 and a half 1000 kilometers per hour. where with very difficult issues at the gravity they made, i guess the 1st feature filled in space can't wait to see the editing job when they come back down to terra firma, another film crew making its way home. now isn't this special for just being the 1st or shoot this movie? maybe in space of a pre flight training. it took only 4 months compared with the minimum 2 year old deal for cosmo in order to do it properly. tuleya had a sealed and claimed panko passed that medical and fitness exams with flying colors . and another 1st for the trip is that the sort use spacecraft is being operated by

just one commander this time without the help of a professional flight engineer. and it's all seen as helping make commercial space flight ever more viable. as far as we understand, tom cruise is very disappointed in this because in the past year or so, tom cruise announced the next the mission impossible movie will be will be working with nasa and a lot of musk and that we filmed in space. but guess what, tom cruz yet just a bit too late. the russians got that 1st. it's not a matter of having some cases for everybody. i've had a sylvan ship hanging. well, we put on to 2 private jets. they'll be whisked back here to the moscow region. where for a few weeks, they have to be monitored. that health has to be checked or touched down. we've got a downright hip re select navy sky came out of the landing capsule. then he was followed by glimpse cream. she panko. and finally, we saw you leave the seat and everyone was smiling and we figure out over here that

the landed safely and that everything went according to the plan and everything was fine. now we even watch over here a weaving to the crowd of people that were reaching him there at the landing site in a remote area of catholics. and also it was quite a relief to see a smiling when she got out of the lending capsule. of course, it is quite a journey for them. they spend 12 days in space, filming the 1st feature movie that was shot in space. it is really a historic moment for everyone here. well, it's a resounding success here. went off into national and for all those involved in this amazing feature film project, the 1st feature film being filmed in space while the russians are now back terra firma. and it's a, basically a case of mission accomplished. i got all of it. now,

let's get to the news that shaped this past week. president putin has rejected claims that russia is using natural gas as a weapon and driving up prices. speaking of the russian energy week forum, he also pledged to supply more gas if europe requests it. he also stressed the importance of the now completed nordstrom to gas pipeline under the baltic sea, which is still waiting. the final green light from europe to this yellow book, as far as north stream too, is concerned. what opponents of the project have claimed that this is not a commercially viable product and rushes pursuing geopolitical motivations. well, you know, this is yet another piece of nonsense. just please pay closer attention to what i'm saying. this route is 2000 kilometers, shorter and quicker to our main consumers in europe than via ukraine. easy. 2000 kilometers more efficient. it's cheaper because transit is cheaper. and it's also cheaper for customers because the transit fee has to be included in the end price

in particular for european customers. we are doing this despite our political differences. this year we have increased supply by 10 percent. again, we would very much like them to be grateful. instead of only criticizing us more. no, to look artillio. katrinka was at russian energy week here in moscow. here is his recap of the opening day. first, a quick look into the context of lot of my food was latest remarks during the russian energy week. the global post coven power demand has been on the up. and that led to major changes in the supply chains, 2 major disturbances and even shortages. now, the prices for natural gas futures in europe have absolutely skyrocketed. they went down a bit. but in the meantime, russia was being accused of politicizing the matter. and for years this country has been under fire for its infrastructure projects in the field like a north stream to. however,

this crisis led to reassessment and this is what the russian leader has been talking about for a while. and he also brought up what he called mistakes in the european energy policy that led to the christ would not go higher prices on gas in europe, or consequence of a deficit of energy and not vice versa. and that's why you should not shift the blame over the last 10 years. step by step systematic flaws were introduced into the european energy system. and they lead to a massive energy crisis. for any market, stability and predictability are important. and russia flawlessly fulfills its contractual obligations to our partners, including our partners in europe. we, in short guaranteed uninterrupted gas deliveries to europe. we have every reason to believe that this year we will reach record levels of gas deliveries on the global market. when prices are volatile, when they're going through the roof, what can help with that extra supplies? president prudent said that there was not a single occasion when russians entered you, joined gas from refused

a request from europe for additional natural gas exports. and what mr. brewton was asked a straightforward question whether moscow has ever used the energy sector as a political weapon. his answer was straightforward. no, want to ask you about it directly. has russia been use thing energy as a weapon? rushes, not using any weapons. if you've been paying attention as for the economy, where are we using weapons in what conflicts are we taking part and for the economy? this is not something we tend to use. this is what i call a politically motivated talk. there's nothing to support it when it comes to saying that we use energy as some kind of weapon at the end of the day. i guess the question is, how can you expect europe to believe you're a reliable energy partner when you're not supplying that energy via the pipeline or supervision? you're a beautiful woman, but i'm saying one thing to you and you're saying a different thing to me as if you haven't heard what i said,

mister president with what was the same point was you and you said that you are not supplying gas through pipelines to europe, but actually you are mistaken. you are mistaken. and all of those who feed on the information they receive, we are actually increasing our supplies to europe because prom increase supplies by 10 percent and overall russia increase them by 15 percent. we have increased gas supply through pipelines by 10 percent and increased l. n. g supply by 13 percent. we are increasing not decreasing. our gas supplied to europe. the number one ingredient in mr. putin's recipe for the volatility in prices. not to come back any time soon. that is a long term contracts when gas prices aren't fixed, but they depend on the current market situation and the oil prices. by the way, what's a major cause for concern for us? some very important european politicians is the transit of russian natural gas through ukraine beyond 2024. well,

lot of putin said that russia is ready to keep that in place, as long as it knows how much gas europe is willing to buy in the future. i e, he wants these long term contracts again, what russia ones is stability and predictability. we discussed the issue with international and strategic affairs expert francis peron, he thinks that there is a u turn happening within the u over the use of russian gas with some countries now striving to import more separate. jessica, you add up to the new in that she strategy, which is scored a net sheet union, which means to speak clearly for you again, commission is that you must try to reduce the share of rush and gas. you are getting supplies, but we have seen that recently just from

a complete lot stream to projects which we to supply job. i need more busha abass. and we have already seen previously gas problem to complete the duct tree. mult docker streamer gas line. so russia black sea darky, so there is a big gap between what you're saying in terms of but if you go and economic statements and what some countries leaving you are doing. and some of them are wanting to, we bought mall, rush and gas for the store. you gas line log stream and duck street. we'll talk his treatment if undefeated, not the official line of the european union throughout the lease. in that she strategy. britton's, the energy crisis could get worse with warnings of more price hikes. companies and

fuel intensive sectors are feeling the pinch, the thing that they could go bust. it's also raised concerns that green initiatives could take a back seat that as it revealed that a u. k. power plant once held as super green is in fact the country's biggest c o 2 emitter. the scale of wood burning by tracks each year means the power station is one of the top 5 emitters of particulate matter air pollution in europe, putting it in the same company as some of europe's worst coal power plants. greener . kina renewable energy is what the well this calling fall back with an energy crisis looming in europe this winter. there's a rush to stop pa fossil fuels, a move that will perish, carbon dioxide emissions a far from where policy makers want it to be. and this power plant in drax, in the north of england, claims to be the onset to the die. lemme by switching to been biomass or words rather than coal. the plan, the claims of emissions from binding wood and negated by the growth of new trees,

soaking up carbon again and replacing those harvested for burning sounds good, right? i don't know how they prove it's an established it's carbon neutral, but if it is great, anything will make it a bit clean is going to be better now. yeah, that's a good thing. i'd say. if you could say job for yourself to completely get a cop in your to it it. hello sheila, we're quite a bit away to go. yes, i mean as far as i can see or tell that to haven't beaten it, anything different out to it. but according to a report, the power station is far from green and is actually the country's biggest emitter of carbon pollution. one, still it's the 3rd database in europe. in fact, the drive is the only biomass facility to rank in the continents plan of c o. 2 emitted, today you have it while selling itself as comp. a neutral running would actually bounces out more emissions. and from burning coal, you to its lower energy density than fossil fuels would,

has to be burned in higher volumes to produce the same amount of energy brought in no attempt to clear the air. drax responded to the claim, saying the figures of false figures are inaccurate. and completely at all, it's with what the world's leading climate scientists at the you an intergovernmental panel on climate change say about sustainable bio mass been crucial to deliver in global climate targets. despite the thick as the site still managed to attract more than 800000000 pounds, an u. k. government subsidies. that's a 2000000 pounds every single day in 2020 alone because of course, right. energy production reflects well on the government's climate record. but all of this is left the locals at boiling point shock, and alienate to be for contin 1000000. yeah, that's not very good. i thought is true, that is of worry. yeah that's, that's not good bad for the children and thing. lot more than oh rather than go to

a bigger power station law. so despite the neutral a negative pledges, in this case, bio energy seems to be failing to protect the planets. in fact, it seems to be making matters worse. the government is trying to reduce carbon dioxide subsidizing something that is hugely covering. carbon dioxide seems to be a very strange way of spending government money. it's green when it wants to be positive in the new cycle, but it's not green when it looks at the need to ensure that we have fuel security. it's because it's an ideology. they've almost got to the stage where it becomes a religion. for them, nothing matters more than ensuring that we remove carbon dioxide and move to the green agenda. of course, for many of them, there will be a financial benefit. some of them will sit on boards of directors of the new green companies. others will be part of the non governmental organizations that receive

funding from the european union and other countries that also support the green agenda. the top catholic bishop in france has apologized and backtrack after claiming church secrecy as above the law. he was earlier reprimanded by the interior minister for saying that when priests to learn of crimes during confession, they're not allowed to tell the police that follows an inquiry which on earth more than 300000 sex crimes against children in the french catholic church since the 1950s, we spoke with one of the founders of a victim to association, who himself suffered abuse to level hill halls when we came to france, who was 8 and 9 years old. my parents wanted me to join this scout group. so i spent almost 2 years there until i was sexually assaulted by bernard. pray not, i found myself alone with him and the door was closed. he hugged me. it lasted around 15 minutes and he was saying something i couldn't understand. i didn't

understand what was happening and i remember having my head completely crushed. i was completely crushed against his belly and i remembered the fiber of the fabric and the collar of his shirt and his smell. the childhood trauma is engraved in my memory, that very precise details. according to a french commissions for port. there have been nearly 3000 perpetrators among catholic church workers since the 1950s. more than 300000 minors were abused mostly boys, between the ages of 10 and 13. the vast majority of the crimes have passed the statute of limitations and can't be prosecuted francois de vo again, claims that covering up these atrocities is actually a matter of church policy or shortish and was off. so i told my parents about the incident, they took me out of discount groups wither, but then they were harassed by the whole local community. now, a catholic neighbourhood who accused my parents of harming the church. they

protected me from this. they tried to get the priest to leave and they succeeded after 8 months of fighting. but i had to live with the reality that this had happened to she. i couldn't hide it from my family. i couldn't wall myself in. when i understood the magnitude of it, i told myself that the day would come when i could confront this evil force and kill it. and that i would not miss the opportunity i should mention because i'm certain that these atrocious crime someone, the organization on concealment of are evil, is a little bit who have in front of us. the vatican with all his power was to my strength, is that my opponents have understood that nothing. oh stop me. i have nothing to lose. the investigating commission must fulfill is responsibilities is required, goes with pope francis has expressed his great sorrow over the findings. he call the report a moment of shame for the whole catholic church and for him personally. but

francois devote thinks that the show of remorse from the pontiff is not enough. law, aunt said, and bus excuses what is shameful, is not apologizing for an atrocity committed in catholic institutions on hundreds of children. the pope has never ever sent a single message. never tried to contact us, but it's his responsibility we're talking about. it's not about his shame. we don't care about his shame. one cannot commit crimes and simply say, i am ashamed for the crimes i have committed. it doesn't work like that. the pope received cardello barbarian, but he did not receive the victims. he did not receive the victims associations despite the media coverage. divine justice is based on the statue of limitations for sex crimes against minors. is that your religion? is that what you are explaining to us? you are a shipwreck of spirituality and a source of shameful humanity. po frances,

that's what i say to you may. 31 minutes. that's when i will be back with another look at your weekly you are watching r t international. ah . when i see black america missing part of my so i was growing up like america spoke to me when white astray did not. those who say black lives matter is a movement we are importing from america. no, nothing of who we are. i lived in a world where wide lives mattered. and i was not wide like missing. and i wasn't known from black america. i learned how to speak back to whitefish aboriginal people of iraq law every day we are out warded system. now with the police were out war with she states,

i'm scared that more children are going to grow up in the country that think says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. then there are other fellow friends in daycare a ah with
