a dirty match, very physical as well, and that, that game lives long in the memory of many spanish people. and i don't think they would want to see very similar kind of treatment from the pitch once again, especially in a final. so i would say they probably go for england, so neither of them have really been trying to wallet this tournaments, but nonetheless, that's what i would go with. okay, was what we'll see who it is later on wednesdays. sports during the summer hunter, thanks so much. thanks for having me. the european space agency is already on 6 rock. it has successfully blasted off on it's made in flight. europe's newest rocket launched from the european spaceport in crew and french kiana for a nearly 3 hour flight. it comes 4 years later than initially plans. companies from 13 different countries were involved in the rockets construction and development. it's intended to transport satellites into space for commercial and public clients

at a much lower cost than its predecessor or the harry on $6.00 is meant to help lead europe space industry out of a crisis. it's designed for those to launch satellites into orbit and to make missions to the moon and more as possible. that's why there are 2 versions of the rocket. the smaller has to solve with boosters that can transport lighter payloads into space. it's big brother has 4 and can carry 2 satellites with an upper stage that can be ignited several times. europe's new rocket will be able to launch satellites at different altitudes and carry them to practically 10 of your vet. the area on 6 is meant to provide you of once again with independent access to space for around a year. now european satellites have had to be put into orbit on us launch vehicles . technical problems have delayed to new rockets several times one. go with the

area on 6 is to make space travel more competitive for europe. space has turned into an important gross market. more satellites were launched in the last 4 years alone, and in the 6 proceeding decades, the industry is growing rapidly. by 2030 more than 60000 satellites could be in orbit around the earth. the new rocket is entering a hotly contested market to wide one that's dominated by space cx. the private us company offers commercial satellite launches at bargain prices. space x is also in the lead when it comes to technology. it's rockets are built with stages that can be landed and reused many times, which concerns resources and reduces costs. in the past year, the falcon 9 space x is work horse rock. it took off almost $100.00 times to keep

up launches of the harry on 6 will have to drop in price. there are plans to also develop a reusable stage, introduce innovative production processes, and raise the number of annual launches. 30 orders are already on the books. the new rocket is slated to launch for the 2nd time. by the end of this year, a half dozen more launches are planned for 2025, and it's hoped 10 a year. we'll take off by 2027. the space journalist david area also told us why the area on 6 is such a big deal for the european space agency. i think you should market calendars now. the july 9th is space. your space independence day from now when i think you have a lot of very happy people within the european space market. a lot of people who are waiting for this there is there's been a heavy reliance on us partners, particularly space x,

which is dominated the launch space. europe has not logged in. i've been using, so he's rockets from russia for, for quite some time now. and because of the ukraine war and europe has it scale away, oh, navigation system that it really needs to lots and some of these, some of these talking 9 equivalent are felt and heavy type type rock is into leo, and it just hasn't been able to do that in a homegrown way, so around is really europe's answer in an answer that's been waiting that's been coming for about 4 years and delay. and that's been because of political setbacks and funding issues and technical problems. but also really the 1st time that you're up to mangled, want to home from market since july last year, when air in finance edits last last void. so a really big day in europe. obviously. here's a reminder now of the top story we're following for you. us president joe biden has opens nato 75th anniversary summit with a pledge of more air defense systems for ukraine. 5 and speech was closely watched
