it's a big day for the russian and american space program for the astronauts and cosmonauts coming and going i'm john thomas in moscow and coming up we'll give you all the details. also in this hour of news economic experts predict the collapse of the euro as they gather in berlin saying the currency has been flawed from the moment it was introduced. brain power flows back to india as the troubled us economy pushes many migrants to return to their homeland for the promise of a brighter future.

for moscow it's eight pm saturday night here now i'm kevin zero in with the top stories of the three space crew had to spend an extra day stuck in orbit have returned safely to earth they were held up by a glitch which prevented this from on talking with the space station thomas has been full story. short high that the crew then as i said now near moscow having medical tests what do we know about their condition after the long journey back home. ok but at this point all is well the preliminary tests say that the flight crew is nominal meaning that they are in good health and in good condition after six months in space and trying to days in fact the t.m.a. eighteen crew consisting of alexander sort of. tracy caldwell dyson they did launch back in april spent six months in space but the past few days let me give you a little bit of a rundown they were supposed to come back on friday they were in their capsules ready to go and then the latches would not release from the actual soyuz spacecraft

. from the international space station so they had to do some checking make sure that everything was ok they were able to create an electrical fire passive the malfunctioning appointment but they decided to wait a day because there's only a small window of opportunity for them to make their correct landing spot they decided to take that extra precaution and so today at six o two in the morning they got back into the capsules they released from the international space station successfully at eight thirty in the morning they launched a deorbit burn to send their engines back into the earth's atmosphere then there was a tense five minutes between nine o two and nine o seven where there was no communication whatsoever with the capsule as they were entering your sadness fear then the parachute deployed and they landed safely back on the ground at around nine twenty one local time in kazakhstan at this point they are now back at star city they are back in the moscow region and they are in fact getting their medical checkups right now and as i said it looks like after six months like everything is a ok as good

a show now as this crew of course gets used to being back on ground it's nonstop another is preparing to replace them at the space station what can you tell us about the next mission. well kevin it has been certainly busy out at star city because of the next crew which is it t.m.a. zero one am they left today from star city to go down to baikonur to start their training for the next flight and in fact what's really unique about this a crew is that they are the very first to test out of brand new spacecraft called the m series soyuz t.m.a. and you see that you would use them the designation is zero one and now this group consist of alexander kaleri all a good script and scott kelly now they say that their new spacecraft is a more comfortable it's user friendly and they're also going from a analog system which they've been using for around thirty years to a brand new completely digital system so it's the first time that the soyuz craft will be completely digital and they say they're very to go in that they're not nervous at all in fact listen to what scott kelly had to say about the subject. so

you just landed. a little bit late. so it's not a problem it's really a testament to how well the technical experts on the ground and the crew can work together to solve problems you know there was a problem and they fixed it now they're home safe and our docking port is free so we can dock there. very important. and scott kelly and the rest of the t.m.a. zero one m. crew they're getting ready to launch in a couple of weeks on october eighth down in baikonur kazakhstan and their task right now is to go down to do the final preparations the final training make sure that their craft is ready so that they can launch up for the next group to join the international space station yeah great news that all are well thanks for bringing us up to date sean thomas there our correspondent in moscow. still ahead of the program tonight we search for clues behind his diplomacy bargaining russia's foreign minister tells us what he thinks could be behind iran's latest twists and

turns on the world stage that's ahead. the health and future of the euro is being debated by economic experts meeting in berlin the eurozone brought to the brink of collapse in spring by sweeping debt and overspending was only saved by a multi-billion euro bailout but many critics believe this is just the beginning of the end for the single currency more and that's in berlin for us tonight. and we've had a room full of six hundred fifty people listening to around about fifteen speakers ranging from economists to some of the foremost currency experts in germany and also former european central bankers and they've been saying essentially that maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but sometime in the not too distant future the euro is going to collapse and they've been arguing that it's a fundamentally flawed concept in the first place that ever since its introduction it's been in inherently a wrong thing to do also officially bringing together sixteen economies nearly

seventeen when joins in january that inherently have nothing in common at the end of the day there's going to be adoption of what they're calling an action plan is going to be four points and one of them is going to encourage people to call for a referendum in germany on the euro asking people whether they really want you are still being forced and and the aim of these people here today through that referendum will be to bring the joy back to germany now i am joined very kindly by michael ross who is a stock market guru and he's also the editor in chief of and you news michael thanks very much for talking to us now tell me will you be backing this referendum that's being proposed if there's a referendum of course we will be backing it but on the other hand i have big doubts that this referendum take place because all those questions are. politically incorrect we don't have. this this

scene is. people just don't talk about it it isn't really a scandal in my opinion. here and none of the western media is for example covering this event to. be christian if such a poll could be. in the future because the political to high people. able for example to vote about their own currency which is a basic democratic seen in my opinion we were not asked if you want to have it all so many other people of the european community and if you want them they would say no we don't like it for example we had a recent poll here in germany fifty percent of all germans didn't want the euro still don't want it at the moment and even sixty percent of the french people don't like it so i asked myself why do we have it it's only a thing of

a political bureaucracies in brussels to behave more like the taters in my opinion you know we didn't elect them but they tell us what to do so and in fact that's one of the things that you and other people in the room is saying is that the euro is a tool for undermining democracy yes of course it's to do so very much it is the basic tool for brussels to dictate into the government how much is this conversation about guessing which of the euro pie in the sky if you like do you think it would be a hugely destabilizing thing now that the euro is in place to dismantle the us and in this way some economists say that it will be almost the same as the effect that the collapse of lehman brothers hatched this is of course the other side of the coin the longer we have it the more difficult it will be to get rid of it and of course there will be thousands and millions of problems but it doesn't mean that we didn't have to start no because the longer we wait the more problems we have we

will get and the higher we will fall down i mean. saying in germany if you are moving towards the wrong direction there is no sense in excel or to. you know what is it eve did even makes it harder for us all at year. also spoke to dr william henckel one of the currency experts who filed a lawsuit in the german constitutional court against the greek bailout he says it breaks the basis of monetary union. no it was the whole idea. is illegal because we have twenty four hours the european community. data from the. local daily police and the country which can calm that's a good deal not. to mention because this. sold. out it's a key condition for the state. having knowledge the state has. so you

will never be in future a stable currency because all of the deficit requires only one case next cases are proper to spain part of maybe three and. so all real fear is going in. or. become very very weak. currency. and if you like to watch the full interview dr william cohen can it's on air tomorrow sunday here on the day. america could soon bear the brunt of reverse brain drain is the economy in india expands highly qualified immigrants in the u.s. are doing a u. turn and heading back to their homeland artie's pretty straight or went to find out why. ten years ago k.j. saying would have never imagined that he'd be back in india going overseas for

higher education was something that the guys who did well in academics that was the first preference there weren't too many jobs in india. in the private sector and so i followed this trend lead saying to a ph d. a job at a prestigious research institute and ultimately the skills to start his own company but living the american dream wasn't enough. the attraction for it is only when you're sort of doing. and you're sort of pushing. for whatever you're doing and that really is synonymous with gort if you're looking to sort of. this is that a place to be and this place is bangalore india. the city of six million exports more than thirty billion dollars of i.t. products every year amidst the hustle and bustle of can just did roads and street markets is the sober jazz mean

a tranquil gated community tucked in the corner of india's silicon valley many immigrants who have left the united states and come back to india have settled in gated communities like this one the residents here say that almost seventy percent of the people who live here came from abroad but one thing they can all agree on is that you definitely get more bang for your buck here in india in singh's gated community residents can enjoy the olympic sized pool state of the art tennis courts and a playground where there are just as many maids as children to supervise the kids while their parents exercise it's a far cry from the lives these immigrants were leading in america on a day to day basis a lot of the things get taken care of that comes into the sweepings well being called into place. called. the lords and while most cite india's growing economy as a reason for moving back they won't discount the quality of life as a perk to just ask pooja bhattacharya she worked as an i.t. professional in the u.s.

in a double income house but now says her life is better than ever as an indian homemaker i see definitely. you know up to the standard of living in the sense that you have a household. affordability is much better. it's good the boeing is going to here it's comfortable it's your own country. that tops it all and while the crew at the silver jasmine are living it up they can't help but wonder if their presence in the united states is missed the united states has enough people to support it so it should have been an employment situation for the indians come back to while many americans may view immigrants as taking jobs the reality is that indian and chinese immigrants created fifteen percent of the jobs in places of power like silicon valley but now that entrepreneurial spirit is being brought back to the place they started from the economy is definitely booming

far more opportunities far more areas that they can work and the younger generation has a lot more things going on for them and this is good for them this is good for the country a country that gave them the wings to lead but ultimately the roots that drew them back preassure either our t. bangalore india. iran will challenge the demands of the u.n. security council for as long as possible despite realizing the need to restart talks over its nuclear program that's the view of russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov who says it's traditional for two to adopt that attitude towards diplomatic relations he also said the talks on iran's uranium enrichment could be restarted in the near future five permanent un members plus germany agreed to work together on the issue of to run its nuclear ambitions almost a year ago but according to love rove only know is around showing signs of cooperating with the atomic watchdog he added that russia's decision not to supply the s. three hundred surface to air missile systems to iran was in accordance with the

u.n. security council. the foreign minister's comments follow the angry displays at the un general assembly over the iranian president's speech that hinged on. suggestion that the u.s. could have been behind nine eleven attacks are these innocent new york explains more. well the us mainstream media has largely been focusing on barack obama building him up as the host the united states running the show it's still been mahmoud ahmadinejad really stealing the spotlight being the main leader and world headlines throughout these last couple of days addressing the united nations general assembly debate in his speech he said that he believes that americans were behind the events of september eleventh and he actually said that he believes that most of the world knows this and this is something that got the u.s. delegation outraged they left the assembly hall and surprisingly it took a little while for barack obama to react to these comments when he did a deal later he said that there he called many were thinking that maybe the uranium

president words sort of calmed down a little bit but he spoke later at a press conference where he stuck to his opinion take a listen. raises a very clear discussion not a precise one and event and under the pretext of that event two countries were invaded and even up until now hundreds of thousands of people have been killed as a result don't you think that that excuse needs to be refined and you feel that if in fact finding mission was present from the start to explore the true reason behind nine eleven that we would not see the catastrophes in afghanistan and iraq why do you assume that all nations should accent what the u.s. government tells them it was reiterated that what the international community wants is dialogue and even though dr dennis shot has been attacking the united states in several speeches made throughout this week the white house has also said that what it wants is dialogue to take place and the latest that we heard from the renia leader was that iran is actually prepared for conversation and that talks could

come as soon as next month in october speaking at a media conference here in new york the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has said that several signals have been sent to iran and basically what the international community is looking for is that iran call. operate with the international atomic energy agency as well as sign up to several important nuclear nonproliferation agreements international agreements and speaking in an interview with popular t.v. host charlie rose russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said he believes that striking iran would be the worst possible outcome the worst possible scenario and really is not a way to deal with iran at this point take a listen if those threats which we hear from time to time from several quarters. are. materialist and if force is used against iran i believe this would be the shortest way to the radicals in the room prevailing and

deciding that now that we will strike we must have nuclear weapons so striking iran in my view would be the shortest way to inducing graham's going nuclear military and this is a position similar to what mahmoud ahmadinejad has been seeing he said that if the united states tries to attack its uranium enrichment facilities it can expect a war but the latest that we heard is that mahmoud ahmadinejad has promised that talks should come soon and hopefully some sort of cooperation with the international community is to follow. i was going to reporting there from new york four militants including the head of a local tata group have been killed in a two day special operation in russia's republic of dagestan police also found automatic weapons and a bomb launcher in the house with a gun and were cornered on friday special forces officers in the capital match one militant managed to escape after a suicide bomber tried to attack the scene of the standoff the terrorist was

the main obstacle to the north stream pipeline and as an added complication the waters between russia and finland a full of mine lines left from the second world war but with solar dynamic positioning system there's little to fear as the vessel can be maneuvered with pinpoint accuracy without having to use and because the technology has helped increase the speed of the operation and also. every seven minutes the part goes down the vessel moves it's scheduled to lay two point three kilometers a day but we're already reaching two point five kilometers and we believe it's quite possible to reach three kilometers in fact to lay pipe in the sea is cheaper more land where you have to deal with landowners and compensate them for the vessel has already hosted several dignitaries and its journey towards russia the main promoter of the pipeline the russian prime minister was one of those to go aboard and watch the pipes as they made their way to the sea floor known stream contract
