conversation going on at mission control at the moment, and then the flight director will obviously make the final decision, and they will come to a final decision. they may reset the clock and they might reset it back ten minutes. they have, as a reminder, 20 minutes to get off today, and the federal aviation administration have told them they have a 20 minute window, so we can go have a 20 minute window, so we can 9° up have a 20 minute window, so we can go up to 20 minutes past the hour to get this beast off the ground, so they don't have to rush. everything up they don't have to rush. everything up to this point looked really good and there were no pauses earlier in the day and all of the propellant and methane and liquid oxygen went in as they should have done and the vehicle itself looks as it should look. maybe there is some reading on some sensor that they want to double check and we will see. the

pressurisation _ check and we will see. the pressurisation issue - check and we will see. the pressurisation issue is - check and we will see. the pressurisation issue is what we are being told. the smoke we are seeing underneath, that's the oxygen. that's liquid oxygen. ridiculously low temperature, so you don't put oxygen in the tank like we breathe, you liquidise and take it down to extremely low temperatures and you denser fired, extremely low temperatures and you denserfired, so extremely low temperatures and you denser fired, so you extremely low temperatures and you denserfired, so you get extremely low temperatures and you denser fired, so you get as extremely low temperatures and you denserfired, so you get as much in the tank as possible, but because it's at a low temperature it is constantly boiling off and venting, so right up to the moment of launch, they are topping up the tanks. so what we are seeing is the oxygen just leaking out a bit, venting out, no problem at all.—

cheering a period of greatest stress, another next major event is hot staging 90 seconds. getting ready for the fuel. the circumstantial of the engines. the circumstantial of the engines. the starship of them separate from the superheavy booster and head to space, at the same time, the booster still firing on superheavy... cheering

do a mock landing. it is going to come under control and just hover above the ocean and then flopped. i have to say, so far, stupendous. this is extraordinary. there are so much going on in the world at the moment, but this next frontier and the things that they are doing, and the things that they are doing, and the way that they are getting off the way that they are getting off the ground, it is truly extraordinary.- the ground, it is truly extraordinary. the ground, it is truly extraordina . , ., extraordinary. yes, ok, so we have 'ust seen extraordinary. yes, ok, so we have just seen the _ extraordinary. yes, ok, so we have just seen the superheavy _ extraordinary. yes, ok, so we have just seen the superheavy booster . just seen the superheavy booster explode. it is not going to make this descent, this mock landing. also extensions are lit as you can see, _ also extensions are lit as you can see, on_ also extensions are lit as you can see, on the — also extensions are lit as you can see, on the bottom left—hand side of your screen — see, on the bottom left—hand side of your screen. —— the bottom right hand _ your screen. —— the bottom right hand side — your screen. —— the bottom right hand side of— your screen. —— the bottom right hand side of your screen. the booster is _ hand side of your screen. the booster is gone. _ hand side of your screen. iie: booster is gone. the booster, hand side of your screen. ii2 booster is gone. the booster, once it is done the job of getting everything off the ground, it

separates from the top part of the ship, the ship light is ending, it carries on. the booster is then supposed to come back, eventually, it will land on the land all the sea. that is economic part of it. something is not gone quite right as it boosted back towards the texan coast, it has let go, 0k, fine. 0n the way up, the booster was perfect. if you go back to april, they had engines out from the word go, all 33 engines, this time, looked perfect all the way up. we had the telemetry of the bottom left—hand corner of the screen showing all of those engines were lit. clearly, they learned the lessons from last time, they have made that progress. you test early, you break it, you learn. space x have done that, they have gone away and improved the reliability of the raptor engines on

the bottom of that booster, and they have come back and nailed it. now, they will obviously have to go away and work out why the booster suddenly exploded, it was boosting back towards the texan coast, but, for the moment, who cares? the ship, again, it separated, it seemed perfectly, from that booster. and it has pushed on. it will push on for another hour to get itself around the world. it is going to go out across the atlantic, across africa, across the atlantic, across africa, across asia, towards hawaii. then, it will start to come back in through the atmosphere and it will belly flop. if it survives re—entry it will get pretty hot as it comes in. some protective tiles. the space shuttle used to protect it. it has those kinds of thermal tiles as they call them. we will see if that manages to get down. so far, this is progress, this is success, as far as elon musk is concerned, not of success. he will be super happy diesel phrase that he is always

people and equipment to mars to set “p people and equipment to mars to set up some kind of human settlement. but, more short—term than that, you will probably know that he has broadband internet constellations in the sky. most of the satellites in the sky. most of the satellites in the sky. most of the satellites in the sky are his, they are delivering internet connections around the globe. in order to build out that system, he needs a bigger rocket than he has at the moment. his best lift, in his current rocket, the vulcan nine, is about 17 metric tonnes. hundred tonnes, hundred and 50 tonnes, you think about how many satellites you cannot launch if you do that. have spoken about the james webb telescope. —— how many satellites you can launch if you do that. the james webb telescope has a 6.5 metre mirror, that is what makes it special. that gives you the resolution to see things deep in the universe. when they launched it, they had to fold up the mirror because they did not have a big enough rocket. this has a nine metre

ferry, you could put the whole mirror unfolded in this rocket. so, it opens up all sorts of things. that is what i mean about it being revolutionary. if it is truly reusable, if they can make both parts come back, reuse them, fill them up with fuel and reuse it, a bit like a 767, a380, whatever, then it transforms the economics of space. it is not only the cost but the volume, the mass. you can start doing things that we have never been able to do before in space. it is a big thing. able to do before in space. it is a bii thini. ., ., ~ able to do before in space. it is a bii thini. . . ~ , able to do before in space. it is a biiithin. ., ., ~ , big thing. can we talk 'ust about elon big thing. can we talk 'ust about eton musk. * big thing. can we talk 'ust about elon musk, who _ big thing. can we talk 'ust about elon musk, who does _ big thing. can we talkjust about elon musk, who does court - elon musk, who does court controversy. we have been reporting today about the way that he is running twitter. when it comes to space and the money invested in space and the money invested in space and the contract he carries for the government, he is an immensely important figure in this. usually important. nasa took the

decision when they retired the space shuttles in 2011 that they needed to change their approach, no longer could the government basically lead the design of space vehicles, own them, and operate them. it was becoming so expensive. elon musk can have a crash and a beam and a bang every so oxen can see only has to answer to his investors and bank manager, whereas government agencies, space agencies, they have government politicians on their backs, taxpayers asking how they're spending their money. they are very risk averse, understandably risk averse. he can afford to take more risks. nasa knew that they had to change their approach, so they went this contracting out model will stop the space shuttles, they owned and operated them. now, if they want to get their arsenals in the space, they ring up elon musk and say: i have four astronauts, can you get is

that they got from nasa. the first four launches with a smaller rocket all failed, they were on the verge of going bust. elon musk admits this. there you go, times are changing. this. there you go, times are changing-— this. there you go, times are chaniini. , a , ., this. there you go, times are chaniiin. , a , ., changing. yes. as you see from the iictures, changing. yes. as you see from the pictures. they _ changing. yes. as you see from the pictures, they are _ changing. yes. as you see from the pictures, they are awaiting - changing. yes. as you see from the pictures, they are awaiting the - pictures, they are awaiting the acquisition of a signal from the spaceship which is obviously going around the atmosphere at the moment. it is on track, we think. at the moment, we will bring you updates over the next hour. jonathan will be around. here are some of the guys from spacex who are commentating on what is happening. we will bring you all of the updates as and when we get them. we are being told they have lost the data from the second stage briefly? i have lost the data from the second stage briefly?— stage briefly? i think that they were exuecting _ stage briefly? i think that they were expecting some - stage briefly? i think that they were expecting some blackoutj were expecting some blackout periods, the earth is round, right? your radio signals... you have to have receivers in different parts of the world in order to be able to

that is by foot on the roads. tanks are very close by. we don't know how far from the hospital this video was recorded. the israeli military says hamas has a command centre in tunnels below al—shifa , something hamas denies. as well as patients and medical staff, large numbers of displaced people are sheltering in the hospital. 0ur middle east correspondent, tom bateman, has more from jerusalem. garzo's biggest hospital, our sheath. a report from the scene said an evacuation of remaining staff and patients was instructed this morning. the israeli military denies it ordered people out, calling it a request from the hospital, saying there is an expanded evacuation. israeli tanks surround the compound, the army claims it is a hamas command centre. it is yet to show

meanwhile, there are growing worries about the potential for security collapse in gaza, with few signs of a plan after the fighting. the americans do not want israeli boots on the ground in the long term. there may have to be a transitional period where the security is provided for gaza, that is something that we have to look at. when it comes to the future of gaza, in our judgment, it has to be under palestinian governance. fish judgment, it has to be under palestinian governance. an israeli leaflet drop _ palestinian governance. an israeli leaflet drop took _ palestinian governance. an israeli leaflet drop took place _ palestinian governance. an israeli leaflet drop took place over - leaflet drop took place over southern gaza offering incentives and protection for information about the hostages held by hamas. in israel, marchers are reaching jerusalem, demanding the return of nearly 240 captives, including children and the elderly. their destination is the office of benjamin netanyahu who is under great pressure. six weeks after the

attacks by hamas that started this war, the bloodshed and uncertainty only intensifies. in the past hour, we have heard reports of an explosion at a un school in gaza. tom is live injerusalem. what can you tell us about this latest development?— you tell us about this latest develoiment? , , ., ,. development? this is a un school in the north in — development? this is a un school in the north in the _ development? this is a un school in the north in the refugee _ development? this is a un school in the north in the refugee camp - development? this is a un school in the north in the refugee camp far. the north in the refugee camp far north in the gaza strip. remember, those un facilities early on in the war had become designated shelters for palestinians. they are not reinforced buildings but schools, they were the designated shelters, they were the designated shelters, they were the designated shelters, they were supposed to be d conflicted. the civilians were inside. in the past few weeks, as the un has had to focus its operations on the south of the gaza strip because the north has become

the operational focus of the fighting, and is effectively being split from the south, the un had to abandon, formally, its operations in the north of the strip. it said it was not formally able to offer any services to the tens of thousands of people sheltering in schools. this is one of those, it has had people sheltering in it and, what is what is, as you say, we see images that are still being verified by the bbc that appeared to show many casualties in one of those schools in the refugee camp. now, we were in contact this morning with a doctor at the indonesian hospital which is very close by. he described in his words a heart attack by israeli forces in the area. they had had many bodies coming in, so it seems that if this is the same event, then there are many casualties, potentially, in this strike. thank

a great deal of rain over the week ahead and most of it in the far north—west of the uk but it looks like the sunshine will be limited and there will be a lot of cloud in the westerly wind.

this is bbc news. the headlines. people continue to leave northern gaza on foot, even as tanks mobilise around them. afp is reporting people in gaza are attempting to flee the al shifa hospital as israeli tanks approach. israel has denied reports it has ordered the evacuation of the hospital and instead the idf says it was asked to provide a �*secure route' out for those who want to leave. thousands of people are protesting in madrid. they're angered by the deal pedro sanchez agreed to that won him another term as spain's prime minister. the deal grants amnesties to catalan separatists. 5,4,3,2,1. cheering and lift off... sort of. space x's starship rocket takes off from boca chica in texas, but says it has lost contact with the booster during the second stage of the flight and is �*presuming rocket failure'. now on bbc news, the travel show: the way i see it — part one. my name is lucy edwards, and this is my first time injapan.
