gorbachev became the youngest lever of the soviet union. and he was to be the last few would doubt that he changed the course of 20th century history. although he is revered and respected, more in the west than in modern russia, one of his biggest achievements was signing a disarmament treaty with you as president ronald reagan that took out a whole class of nuclear weapons. it earned him a nobel peace prize. joe biden cited this achievement in his tribute describing gorbachev as a man of remarkable vision. he said the result was a safer world and greater freedom from millions of people. vladimir putin said gorbachev had a huge impact on the course of world history. he deeply understood reforms were necessary and strove to offer solutions. antonio guitar less the un secretary general said the world has lost a towering global leader. committed multi naturalists and tireless advocate for

peace. the u commission president ursula vander lion said gorbachev played a crucial role to end the cold war and bring down the iron curtain. it opened the way for a free europe. many russians see him as the man who stood by, as the soviet union disintegrated. his legacy is dead. he allowed, or the peaceful collapse of the soviet union. it did not use massive force for keep eastern europe ah, in the empire. and with that, he deserves credit, but it is not that this was sung came in trying to undermine the system. he tried to reform. gorbachev, used perestroika or restructuring to reform, a stagnant economy that had seen people shorter food and consumer goods. and he used glass moles, openness and freedom of speech that led to parts of the eastern bloc wising up against communism. it was the beginning of the end of the cold war,

one state after the other broke away anglo merkel, former german chancellor spoke in her tribute of the fear in east germany with expectation the tanks would roll in, but quite the contrary. wasn't long before the berlin wall came down yet now 30 years on with rushes invasion of ukraine comes the danger of further east west conflict, sullen a horse lunt, on step, also to president putin. russia and it's president digging new trenches in europe and have started a horrible war and ukraine. it's now we think in mikhail gorbachev and realized what he did for our country and all of your vision. gorbachev held as a man of peace has died. it's only when his country is every engaged in war and ru simmons, al jazeera, within russia. gorbachev, legacy has been divisive to say, the least since the fall of the soviet union, city womack,

would come to me. you better back. look at their new moon as no it was. would me believe that you all know why he appeared in this pizza hut advertisement. in 1998 to the time when russia's economy was opening up to foreign investment or many acknowledged, the reforms that gorbachev brought him, others hold him responsible for the chaos and economic turmoil. following the collapse of the ussr, colorado cleary was the moscow corresponded to the irish times from 1987 to 1991. he joins us now live from dublin. good teddy with us, a connor. what are we to make of the followers such a towering political figure was not given a state funeral and the that the, the current president of what is now russia, the russian federation is not attending? well i think that the death of her former lena, authoritarian state is always a dangerous times. i recall what happened in china in 1989. they gentlemen score

events. i was there for the lead up to that. and they originated from the death of who, who ya bang, who was the reformist leader of the communist party until he was deposed couple of years earlier. and when he died, that was an occasion for demonstrations. and the day which i escalated into channels square. and i am sure that vladimir putin has in mind the dangers of people coming on to the street to commemorate a reformer who is somebody that russians will remember dog, broken freedom, freedom of press, freedom of information, freedom of demonstration. i think that's why there is such a heavy security presence on the street today. and did i remember one demonstration and moscow in 1980, when a popular protest singer called vladimir saki died, which brought a large number of people out on the street some mounted place. some horsemen had dispersed them. so it's always a problem. and i'm sure that the kremlin has been very careful to make sure that

this is not something that would bring people out on the streets. but as, as you same, president, put that aware of the potential danger here. but as we reported gorbachev, legacy in russia is divisive to say the least to people really think that fondly of him, given that many blame him for the chaos that followed the collapse of the soviet union. well, that's not true of all the young people i, i keep in touch with people and, and russia. and i was quite interested to see her in the valley's a said and a tweet from his prison so that he had come to arrive to a different interpretation of what gorbachev stood for. and that he respected them as a man who did his best to reform the ailing. so a union which on the form, but also that he emphasized the fact that it brought freedom. the problem, i think for the generation of young people in russia who might desire change is

that they, they don't see because the crackdown on demonstrations has been so complete. they don't see the possibility of using the occasion that they might like to initiate some sort of a movement. most of the young russian 2 are working and high tech or her and me here at flat. most of them actually are meaning of tens of thousands of people who would be inclined to come out on the street of mostly left russia or lying low because of what one might call the genetic fear among russians off. supposing a deep joy regime he's viewed his legacy is very different in, in the west to walk now has become the west, isn't it the way we saw hungary is victor all been there in moscow paying his respects? i mean, why is there such

a contradiction to think in how and his legacy is viewed between the former soviet union and the west? well, i think what the, the reason is he's despised by so many people in the. so we did this because he associated with the hardships that accompanied the last 2 or 3 years of the soviet union. i remember he used to tell america, got some cells that people were doing for ours, for somebody on the q went to shoot gorbachev in the kremlin and find a bigger kid there and use it against himself. whereas in the west, the bringing the, the coming of gorbachev to lead the communist party was seen as something that was bringing russia back into the fold after the 7 kids of the soviet union, when it was closed off from the west. and he's now seen as someone who fits in the democratic mall, he crossed the protocol. ready directions and the soviet union,

which by any standards were reasonable and fair to the congress of people, secretaries. and he allowed for freedom of press and freedom of information that he's now seen in stark contrast to latimer christian who has made sure that information is only controlled by the kremlin under the freedom of thought as almost an inconceivable know because of the way that the step down the issues, i want to get one final question here about the relationship between gorbachev and, and, and culture, or at least how putin viewed gorbachev. gorbachev was a critic of the ukraine wall. he supported the annexation of crimea. it's reported that the 2 hadn't spoken in, in many, many years. i mean, how did putin view gorbachev that up let since 2006, i understand a person probably viewed. gorbachev was somebody who presided over the breaker. so

a union, he called it the grids geopolitical disaster of the 20th century. and i think that his view of overture would be, or someone who pose certain dangerous to him because of the policies of freedom and democracy that he ended up aspiring. so i'm pretty sure that he had only contempt for gorbachev and that he is doing the minimum possible to day to pay tribute to someone who has been seen as a great one figure car has been really great. talk to you many thanks. indeed for being with us co cleary there in dublin rushes energy giant gas prom says that it will not resume gas deliveries through the north stream. one pipeline to germany. after a 3 day shut down,

the company says that an oil leak was detected and that repairs are needed. the european commission says the move is under fallacious pretenses and shows that russia is an unreliable supply up gas prompts as that will now ship natural gas to europe through ukraine or gas pumps. decision came just hours after the g 7 basins agreed to set a price cap on russian oil in an effort to hurt moscow's war efforts in ukraine. finance ministers from the world's richest economies. also hope that a cap on crude oil and petroleum products will help to reduce global energy prices . russia has responded saying that it will stop selling oil to countries that agree to a price limit. katherine porter is an energy consultant. she joins us now. live up from london. good. have you with us a catherine. what do you make about this indefinite shut down of nord stream one. is it under false pretenses? yes, i think be inclined to agree and the manufacturers is turbine. seaman said that this type of oil leak wouldn't normally,

i mean the turbine couldn't be used. and it's also pointed out there are several of the turbines available at the site that could be used to add to maintain slice on the pipeline. i'm so this doesn't really appear to be a genuine technical barrier. i am and say more likely than to be a political reaction to the oil. so the european commission is right when it says that russia has become an unreliable supplier. yes, so that i think this is particularly new. i rush has been playing around the edge is about a supply agreements the last few months trying to do things like changing the payment terms. i'm say there's just one more step in that whole process. what about the g $7.00 price cap on russian oil? how much damage is not going to do to the russian economy, given the countries like india still buying russian oil? well, exactly, and there are many countries that can buy russian oil that aren't within the u. g. 7, i'm, i think, but it's a different situation with gas. i am, it's difficult for russia to send it that european gas supply somewhere else. i am

. so i think this is just one step in this and avoid a political game. it all countries like germany doing enough, then to to make sure that they have enough supplies of, of natural gas for the coming winter that aren't coming from russia. i think jim needs that she didn't quite a lot. so those made very good progress this year. and filling up their gas storage and the undertaking various steps to reduce demand. and then there's not told them on destruction because of the high prices. ok, there are limits to how much more it can do, particularly given. there's a global supply of gas, isn't large enough to replace what comes out to russia under normal circumstances. good store to catherine, but effective date for being with us capture porter there. in london, he frances president mario mccall as ordered all nuclear power plants in the country to be restarted before winter. the move will reduce pressure on the electricity grid and helped to tackle rising energy prices in europe because of the

acknowledge climate change and environmental protection and guaranteed gender parity. it also introduces structural political and social reforms, such as guaranteed health, education, and pensions, as well as broad recognition of indigenous rights. while many international observers may always have jillions like the land to vote against the new constitution, there are many reasons from this information about what it really says is that it is too radical vague, and that it will not guarantee civility in this country. yes, sebastian edward says, the devil is in the details and it's a very, i'm even never cried in the world political system which will create a lot of instability and uncertainty. and if there is uncertainty, there is no investment. the constitution has polarized chile,

even as the majority of greek, the socially unequal country needs change. how much change though seems to be the issue. you see in human al jazeera santiago. but final preparations are on the way for the launch of the arsonist. one machine to moon orbit is alive, pictures of the rocket, but nasa says it started refueling around 20 minutes ago. the 1st attempt failed due to engine problems earlier in the week out here of alan fischer is a little a site in florida. inspired by the wards of john kennedy then the president of the united states. america started this space race the intention to put the 1st man on the moon. there were many apollo missions and finally in 1969, neil armstrong became the 1st astronaut cassette foot on the lunar surface. there were many, many more astronauts after him. all of them touching the very edges of the heavens

. and now the plan is for america to go back to the moon, but not just for the moon sake itself. this time to establish a base and had to mars and beyond. we were in the space race, we fully thought that the russians were going to go to the moon and had they gone to the main 1st, who knew what could have happened in so that would that space race ignited our passion to get till apollo and it but at the same time, it ignited all the science that was discovered from just that, that one mission, basically apollo 11, where we walked on the moon. and here is our to miss one. on the launch pad, the count don't underway. the intention is it will blast off from kennedy space center here in florida on saturday afternoon. now they already had to abandon one launch. that was because they discovered a faulty gauge. they think they've sorted out the problem. so now everything is on

schedule for that launch optimist. one should take off on it's $42.00 day mission including a lunar orbit. and there will be numerous tests as well to see if this really will take people back to the moon for the 1st time in more than 50 years. they are transmission is scheduled to get underway at about 8 hours time and has a 2 hour launch window. the mission will be powered by the massive space launch system. 98 meters tall. it's most powerful rocket ever built. they ran capture sits on top of the esl and we'll take astronauts into deep space this time around a mannequin though will be on board. but in future missions, a capture will take for astronauts to the moon, including the 1st woman and the 1st person of color, the tim on out from mark, baldwin, and engineer working on the artemus program. artemus one mission is very important to ryan for crew safety because it represents really the combination of years and

years of effort buying multiple teams to illustrate what it would be like for humans. the in that capsule going through the mission phases. it's important to integrate all the systems because individually we develop we design tasks, we analyze to make sure that they can all the parts of the vehicle can withstand the environments. but you need to run a flight test without crew 1st to fully appreciate and understand quantify characterize those environments before you expose humans in this type of a mission. deep space presents a number of challenges to human safety. it goes outside of the safety of our lower orbit and our atmosphere, which means not only do you have to sustain the vibration acceleration of exiting earth's atmosphere, but then you have to deal with things like radiation through the van allen belts

and through deep space. all to return and come back into earth's atmosphere again. go through yet another series of accelerations and vibrations, and eventually you grasp the vehicle and get to safety on recovery ship. as i said, nasa has a 2 hour launch window today. of course, the weather plays a huge role in its potential success. let's bring it up in house meteorologist. ever some folks to tell us war, any storm clouds on the horizon, i'd like to think not tighter and i think it's the, it's near perfect condition. i me because it's not entirely out of the question. we could catch a shout. you take a look at the, at the satellite pitch that we have. is there a fair amount of clinical southern parts of the u. s. actually, i'm particularly over towards the florida panhandle. so i some went to whether certainly a possibility. if we just zoom in a little close, you can see what we talk about here. little more cloud there just around the panhandle, some wet weather, certainly not out of the question, but i think by and large it is looking go be pretty much looking at a case of

o shades and air plugs, whether to recall it. so i think will be okay, come a little closer still, and you can see this is where cape canaveral is just off that east coast of florida . but you can see there's a little bit of wet weather in the forecast here. i'll just take the name off so you can actually see what the weather's doing. is it jen felice? dilly breeze. no problems here as far as that's concerned. a possibility of one or 2 showers. they may be on the sharp side, but i think essentially it is looking good adrian. every fix these all things considered well, i'd rather be in florida. i don't about you. me to hear all that spectators of gathered in cape canaveral i had of the historic launch today, tourists, a camping next to the shore, some with long camera lenses to capture the moment that the rock it takes off. ups of 400000 visitors are expected on the florida coastal coastline on saturday to catch a glimpse of the event. my story goes back to 1969,

5 days before they landed on the moon i was born. so in england we was known as space babies. so i was born on july 15th, they landed on the 20th. surf just had a fascination since then. regarding the space program i just down. i just find it incredible that we can watch and see them leave in to go to these places and we can do it right here. it on our doorstep sites. i don't, it feels like i've meant to have landed hair in the space. cursed. so i, i, i love it, i love every launched and it never gets boring. is to say excite and every time and gentlemen like that will help to boost florida. so called space coast economy, which has been in the doldrums for some years, has char stradford reports and left off the final lift off of atlanta shoulders of the space july. the 11th 2011. you the last space shuttle launch. the beginning of

what many commentators cool america's decade long space program slo minus the kennedy space center laid off more than 7000 workers and space enthusiasts who filled restaurants and hotels and lined the shore to watch lodges, disappeared. witnesses, reinvigorated space program and a boost from private companies like space x and blue horizon means florida's so called space coast is alive again. i'm just happy it boom in the way it is. i'm happy they got the program going back up now and having people come out and enjoy with us. so i think a full several rocket launch is carried out each month including space x carrying starling internet satellites. things like more than 12000 civil servants, private contractors and others now work at the kennedy space center. almost as many as those employ during the heyday. the shuttle programs go right automation to

prepare for the next year. our world co operation in space. hotels and restaurants are filling up. once more. it excites me that the people are still excited enough in this country to flow here to see it. they still look at it as historic, and i hope we never lose that. ah, you know, it's obviously good for the space program. it's good for the country and certainly good for the city of tiles. one of our county, you know, we're back in o and is the kind of the saying goes, now we're going to the moon. nasa says it sent to launch the are to miss moon mission on saturday after problems with an engine cooling system, delayed lift off last week. space coast spectators will be again packed along these florida shores john stratford and his air and air. it is all 98

meters of it. the space launch system with the iran capture sitting on the top ready for launch and around 8 hours from now unmanned this time to moon orbit, just a mannequin. and shawn, the sheep will be up making history by going to the boon and back to will be covering. i live here on out 0. it's got so sport, his santa thank you very much, adrian. also, we know william's bed an emotional farewell to the us open to what looks to be her final singles match in a long and decorated korea. a tennis icon was knocked out on the 3rd rhonda new york, ending her hopes for 24th, a grand slam title for a smile humble. after more than a 1000 single matches during a career spanning close to 3 decades, serena williams is hanging up her rack her defeat and the 3rd round at the us open to islet homeland bitch breeze to an end 27 years on quartz.
