8:02 pm
from a mission set to change that. their regime has been removed. this spacecraft, built in israel, is the first privately funded the former head of the regime has attempt at a moon landing. been removed and is in safe place. missions like this usually cost i answer the formation of a transitional military council billions, but with a price tag that will manage the matters within during the of £70 million, it is space period of two years. with a few words, he was deposed. exploration on a shoestring. in an age when civil the idea that you don't have to wait society is challenging for the creaky bureaucracy leaders across africa, the president had seemed immovable. of a government or a national space 0mar al—bashir came to power agency to carry it forward, that's really exciting. in a military coup in 1989 and survived for 30 years through cunning and brutality. he was a master manipulator of his own party's factions. an indictment for genocide in darfur the probe blasted off in february, but to save money it shared its ride in 2010 wasn't enough into space with other spacecraft. to force his departure. he was a pariah in the west this though has meant but still welcomed in africa an unusual journey. and the middle east. it usually takes just a few days but a spiralling economic crisis to get from the earth to the moon, last year awakened decades but this spacecraft has of resentment and created this taken much longer. people's revolution. after launch it began in khartoum, his face was vanishing, to travel round the earth, and for a generation which has known at first quite close but gradually nothing but bashir‘s rule, in higher orbits until eventually euphoria is understandable. translation: to see bashir stepping
8:03 pm
it was captured by the moon's down is enough for us. 0h, our young people, gravitational pull. this is such a big joy! seven weeks after launch is the hardest part, translation: the protest will go landing on the lunar surface. on until the sudanese people this spacecraft burns its engines are assured their revolution for exactly the right amount of time for a soft touch down. will not be stolen from them. after taking some photos, its job is to investigate there is much caution. the moon's magnetic field. these rank and file troops it may look small but this protected the demonstrators, british built engine is key to the success of the mission. but their senior commanders are bashir's old cronies and say it is vital for the final descent onto the moon. they hold power now for two years, there is quite a lot riding on it. declaring a state of emergency and a curfew. we have done a lot of testing, we are confident it is going to work most of those people have been part but you never really know and parcel of all the maladies until you test or use of the sudanese people — the engine in anger in space. economical, socialfreedom, law and order and everything. it is the 50th anniversary of nasa's moon landing but if this it is just like an old new mission is a success, another piece of space history wine in new bottles. could be made today. sudan doesn't fit into an easy rebecca morelle, bbc news. political template. military rulers, yes, but a civil society that's sophisticated, organised,
8:04 pm
with mass popular support. we have been joined by professor monica grady the protest will go a professor of planetary on until the people or the generals win the fight for sudan. and space sciences at the open. fergal keane, bbc news. the first privately funded mission to the moon, how significant is it jehanne henry is an associate in your view? it is incredibly director in human rights watch's africa division. shejoins me now from new york. significant. it is paving the way for other missions to take place. as we are very grateful for your time, thank you. we saw the exuberant it is said and rebecca's report, spare and sit on but i wonder how doing it to a government agency or long it will last given and we know that military rule is going to space agency, it takes a long time, continue for two years? absolutely. whereas private enterprise tends to bea whereas private enterprise tends to be a bit more get up and go and have i think so much remains to be seen about how this new leadership will more drive. so a small mission like manage affairs. and there is a lot this, it is usually significant. we of skepticism, protesters have said are watching the lunch pictures. the they want civilian government and are continuing to protest now. and mission launched back on the 22nd of february. —— at lunch. why had it taken so long to get to the moon. so, really, it's a big question what lies ahead and let it will end up being what they want. what do you february. —— at lunch. why had it taken so long to get to the moonm
8:05 pm
had to go the scenic route because make upfor it isa being what they want. what do you make up for training? after 30 years had to go the scenic route because it is a small spaceship, and it couldn't be put in a higher orbit in power, why get rid of him now? well, it has been building up for because it was sharing its lunch with other satellites, which didn't various grievances. have been building up now for a long time and need to go so high. it is gone sedan. as you know, south sedan around the earth, increasing its orbit each time. until it has far became independent separating from enough away from the earth and close saddam in 2011. and, sedan has faced enough away from the earth and close enough to the moon to be captured by enormous economic problems and that the moon and now it is been in decreasing orbits around the moon makes the corruption, the consistent getting closer and closer to the moon. that is why it is taking so violent repression year in and year long. nearly three months. how out and the wires, notjust empire for, but also blue nile have all challenging is the landing itself and what is your understanding of how it is going to go? my resulted in huge resentments and understanding of any of these landings is that it is very grievances. and so they have bubbled difficult, when you're on an up grievances. and so they have bubbled up and the protest now more than four months on have obviously aeroplane, the pilot knows that they will be landing on some nice smooth culminated in something now we are tarmac, and it still feels a bit seeing for many this monument as bumpy sometimes. you are not lending alistair of bashir and however as we
8:06 pm
on smooth tarmac, you are landing on say, there are real question marks rough ground, covered in dust, but that light ahead about how they lead hiding pebbles and rocks that might there is are going to manage things be below, so even if you have and let they will demonstrate respect for rights as they had pictures and it looks like it is nice and flat and smooth, you don't quite know what will be underneath announced they would. yes, because that dust layer. so it is very presumably that people don't want to hazardous. it has a british built exchange one dictatorship or another, do they? picking up from what you are saying, to let x engine, hasn't it? how key is that thanked you think success are area to the success of the lending? my of the new regime will depend on its understanding is that this is part of the dissent system, so it is key dependability to rescue the economy? secondly, the economy is a factor, because if the engines of the work, but in the immediate term, what's important is that leaders do not the lender will not slow down enough. —— the scent the system. and allow armed forces to use violence it will crash. what the engine will against protesters who continue to be doing is slowing something down, protest a nd against protesters who continue to protest and that they take very not propelling something forward as tangible concrete steps to reverse you normally expect within engine. some of these oppressive tactics tell us a little bit more. you that the government has been using touched on this, about what it will do once it does land. first of all, for so long. so,
8:07 pm
that the government has been using forso long. so, cite that the government has been using for so long. so, cite any of the it will take some photographs. so we economy as part of it but these can see where it is. and also one of protests are about more and it was the american orbiters, lunar reconnaissance orbiter, will try to very quickly the protest morphed ta ke reconnaissance orbiter, will try to from just an economic story to a take some pictures as it goes around as well to see if it can see where call for the alistair bashir and his it is. so then you will have a local regime as he saw and these protests picture and a global context which will be very fantastic. it will take really did combine many grievances some pictures of the local scenery, across the country that we have seen bobbing up now for many years. so, i and what it will do, taking some would say the economy is a very magnetic measurements of the landing site. so the magnetic measurements important factor but that is higher, can be connected directly to the the strong desire that we are hearing from the streets is for the local scenery and also to the government to be much more rights broader complex. this is really respecting and to uphold the freedoms and as i mentioned, the crucial to understanding more fully call now is for there to be a actually how the moon forms. that civilian government and so, really there's a lot of question, shouted form. you make it sound very questioning now of this military exciting. we will leave it there. consult which is in fact announced bya man consult which is in fact announced thank you forjoining us, professor. by a man who himself has been sanctioned by the united states
8:08 pm
government for his role in i think ithinki i think i might be able to take you atrocities and are for. there are a lot of reasons to be cautious as we just briefly to show you live move forward now. thank you so much pictures from the mission control room. out in israel, where we are for your thoughts on that, but to talk to you, thank you. expecting that to touch down on the moon. we will take you back there as and when it lands. the wikilea ks founder, we have heard that the spacecraft julian assange, is tonight in prison following his arrest at the ecuadorian embassy in london had landed on the moon but not where he'd been living for the past seven years, after asylum was withdrawn. successfully, this is the first fact mr assange first took refuge —— privately funded mission of its there to avoid extradition to sweden over sexual assault allegations, kind. they say that landing has been u nsuccessful. kind. they say that landing has been unsuccessful. well, and that i could which have since been dropped. to say we are going to talk again to professor monica grady. he now faces potential extradition to the us over the leaking an open university professor of government secrets. he made headlines around the world of planetary and space in 2010 when wikileaks released footage showing us soldiers shooting dead iraqi civilians. sciences and also i'm 0ur diplomatic correspondent joined by dr suzie imber — associate professor of planetary science
8:09 pm
james landale has this report. at the university of leicester. have you got any news for us? well, this was the momentjulian assange's i have checked my devices and all seven years of self—imposed asylum came to an end. the live streams seems to have gone 0lder, greyer perhaps, down, ican the live streams seems to have gone down, i can say is that things seem but still defiant, still protesting. to have gone quiet, it looks like after the ecuadorian authorities revoked his asylum and allowed the spacecraft deadlines, it looks in the police to arrest him like it did not plan successfully, for breaching bail. inside, he resisted but i don't think we know yet how the officers, shouting, "this is unlawful, i'm not leaving!" u nsuccessfully, but i don't think we know yet how unsuccessfully, has a christ? you before they handcuffed him and let him outside. now, is it going to be able to what we've shown today is that no one is above the law. communicate, i don't think we know that yet. when you are able to cast julian assange is no hero, he has hidden from the truth for years and years. into my life because i think there was a treat of a picture from the and it is right that his future should be decided in the british judicial system. capsule? the spacecraft was sending this afternoon, mr assange was brought to westminster magistrates' court. back data throughout its approach and there was an image from think he gave a thumbs—up to supporters outside. and inside, he waved the lunar surface which was the last to the public gallery.
8:10 pm
but the judge called him image broadcast by the spacecraft a narcissist, with a laughable before the last communication with a defence, and found him guilty of failing to surrender temporarily and it seems during that to the court in 2012. time there was an issue with the he was remanded in custody and will engine and sell as a result the be sentenced at a later date. engine and sell as a result the engine was not able to fire on the mr assange is also facing conspiracy assumption therefore is that that charges in the united states, relating to a massive leak spacecraft impacted that an sfs. of government secrets almost a decade ago. assumption therefore is that that spacecraft impacted that an sfse it did as you say impacted on the 0utside court, mr assange's lunar service, do i take that to supporters insisted mean crashed ? they would fight on. this sets a dangerous precedent lunar service, do i take that to mean crashed? yes, that was a nice for all media organisations way of saying crashed. if it has and journalists in europe and elsewhere around the world. this precedent means that crashed, is that the end of it? or any journalist can be extradited for prosecution can it still perhaps take photographs or gather material? in the united states, for having published truthful information about the united states. well, i think we are yet to the wikileaks website that julian assange founded has, over the years, published hundreds determine that, if 20 km away the of thousands of secret military and diplomatic engine bed malfunctioned and was not able to be restored, then my suspicion is that the entire documents, many from the us. spacecraft had been destroyed on the impact but i don't have any evidence to support julian
8:11 pm
revelations that government officials argued put lives at risk. perhaps the most remarkable leak was this video, of a us apache helicopter firing on iraqi civilians and two that yet this it's a shame that the journalists in 2007. information that wikileaks insists final phase did not work out. just it had every right to publish. to finish her thoughts about the this pertains to publishing engine, that engine of course, but work nine years ago. publishing of documents, grady was telling ascetical area of videos, of the killing that the landing, the potential of innocent civilians, exposure of war crimes. this isjournalism. landing did face considerable challenges, this is never going to it's called conspiracy, be easy was it? this is a very bold its conspiracy to commit journalism. in 2010, mr assange was accused and brave admission. the engine had to fire multiple times on its final of sexual assault in sweden, approach, we don't know what caused charges he denies, but eventually avoided by seeking asylum this malfunction sell i will be very in the ecuadorian embassy. can you hear me? hesitant to blame any particular instrument for this issue. until we from his diplomatic bolthole, know marley won't know what he continued to campaign happened. but yes, it was british and defend himself but, eventually, he outstayed the welcome of his ecuadorian hosts. built. what do you make of it all professor grady? it's obviously in particular, the new desperately disappointing for all of president, lenin moreno. those involved, it also desperately
8:12 pm
disappointing for all of us interested in life beyond our own and planets beyond our own? it's to some, julian assange is a champion of free speech. very disappointing. i mean the to others, a dangerous science that was going to come was going to be an excellent science conspiracy theorist. either way, after almost seven years in that building, sell, scientists are disappointed. he is now at least facing justice. engineers are disappointed because this is the first private space this afternoon, mr assange left court by a back entrance for a new life of confinement. enterprise, the first mission that was funded the way it was and this time, at the hands, at the very organised in the way it was and it least, of the british government. might set it back to bed, i don't james landale, bbc news. know. looking at the mission control we can speak now to mark zaid, who is a national security attorney. with all da is ready saying to us, he joins us live from washington. so with all da is ready saying to us, so many of them looked so young and good evening to you. can't you he now, obviously a vibrant explain to us after all of this community care and you now, just time, there he is in the ecuadorian hope that they have not gotten embassy for seven years, why have disheartened and that they do keep the american still so keen to get going. and you know, space missions their hands on julian the american still so keen to get their hands onjulian assange? the american still so keen to get their hands on julian assange? we are difficult and dangerous and
8:13 pm
have been after him for a few years, starting with chelsea manning's accidents and problems do happen. regulations as your pre—story set in there will be an investigation, we 2010. also he has been a link to the don't know exactly what caused the main engine to fail. we will try to russian government and the 2016 election interference but he is not be septic but maybe it was too close charged with anything of that sort. to the surface to slow down enough they are only going after him for it's all still speculation. thank this one count of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion as we titled it, which was basically to try and help chelsea manning break you both by talking to us here on bbc news and people just went on to into classified computer systems in the us to extract and still that very striking image. this is the last photograph taken by that classified information. as you said he has been charged with this one spacecraft has eight attempted to very specific event, clarify for me land on the moon and what is the if he was to be extradited to the first privately funded mission of united states, but he then to be its kind. it looks like it's been charged with other offences?m u nsuccessful its kind. it looks like it's been unsuccessful and this is the last image that it managed to send back united states, but he then to be charged with other offences? it is possible. i would charged with other offences? it is possible. iwould imagine charged with other offences? it is possible. i would imagine this is to mission control in israel. going to come up at the extradition hearing in early may in london as to whether or not there will be other charges, for one thing that will
8:14 pm
most likely, he will most likely say well, let's get more now on the news that the wikileaks founder, this is a political exception julian assange, is tonight in prison offence to this treaty, meaning he after being arrested cannot be expedited, and i imagine at the ecuadorian embassy in london where he'd been living the british government will also for the past seven years —— wa nt to after asylum was withdrawn. the british government will also want to make sure that even if additional charges were forthcoming he now faces potential extradition to the us over the leaking in the united states, that none of of government secrets. them would be subject to the death today he was sentenced to 12 months penalty. many countries around the in prison for breaching his bail. well we can speak to world prohibit extradition if the steve vladeck, who's professor in law at the university united states where would apply the death penalty and i doubt that would of texas school of law. he specialises in national security. be the case in any charge against steve joins us live now them. his lawyer says he is from austin in texas. (os) treatment sets a dangerous precedent steve joined us right for journalists, this is stevejoined us right now steve joined us right now from austin in texas and we are grateful treatment sets a dangerous precedent forjournalists, this is an issue of for your time. thank you. freedom of speech because ultimately, julian assange is austin in texas and we are grateful foryourtime. thank you. in austin in texas and we are grateful for your time. thank you. in your telling the truth. in your view, professional opinion, do you think does it not make do they have a jillian assigned you will successfully be extradited to the point? no, i heard that in your united states? i think the odds i clip, it is false. i representjohn bet that ip will be although i think the less all the time. i represent they will be significant litigation, we already hurt his lawyers today national security generalist, including some who work in the talking about concerns as to whether british system. that's represent there might be additional charges journalist. i represent coming in the united states. as a whistle—blowers, i've handled the
8:15 pm
lea k whistle—blowers, i've handled the leak investigation scrubber then privation in the us, uk extradition treaty that presents the extradition people suspected of a leaked classified information, this is not for political offences so i think a slippery slope for journalism. that's going to be litigation but this is not to prosecute him for when all is said and done is probably more likely than not that he ends up in a us federal court leaking in the classified information, or retaining it come up room. the americans have charged him for possessing it, publishing it. with a very specific offence haven't this is for helping solicit and they? conspiracy to commit computer extra ct, this is for helping solicit and intrusion, is it possible if extract, to be the actual conspiratorial participant and somebody is then extracted for obtaining the classified information. literally breaking into the computer system itself. if the further attention more serious us government wanted to go down the offences to be leveled against them, is that possible? it's not supposed route to indict generalists, it would've done so in a long time ago. to be, there is something called the this very narrow deliberate charge will of speciality which basically provides that an accident and a is to make sure that that slippery couple of to be on the same terms as slope is not taken and so the times, prosecution, one of the concerns is if the us were to somehow go back on the new york times, the washington that after that happens, it would post, bbc, cnn, fox news, none of those media outlets should be have some kind of remedy or itjust bea concerned about this case. ifjulian have some kind of remedy or itjust be a bit dramatic protest by the british government but because this assange does end up being goes before a sanchez as extradited
8:16 pm
extradited, and it appears in the us and be able to be an effort on the pa rt and be able to be an effort on the part of his lawyers and perhaps on federal court, that argument made the part of the british quite system that he might not receive a fair to extra ct the part of the british quite system to extract assurances both from the trial because of all of the british government from the united publicity surrounding him and his states government that they are case? i would suspect his lawyers either no further charges coming in would raise that as an issue. so he or that any further charges that are coming would not fall within the is to be brought in the eastern political offence exception in the district of virginia, a federal us, uk treaty. his lawyer says his court, on the outskirts of washington, dc, where it is more likely people in this area are well treatment sets a dangerous precedent aware of him and perhaps have a bias for it generates him and this was a freedom of speech issue because they say he's telling the truth. in your towards him. so the prosecutors and view, is this slippery for the court and the defence will do what is called inherited this from generalising? that had been the concern here in the united states. the british system, to ascertain the idea that exons might end up on whether the jurors have any implicit a prosecution ambiguous court has bias, there is a possibility if been kicked around for a decade now there is a concern the judge would and what's really telling about the address that the case could be indictment that was unsealed against transferred to a another him in the us court today is that jurisdiction in the united states it's not for journalism where people are less likely to have him in the us court today is that it's not forjournalism at him in the us court today is that it's not for journalism at all, him in the us court today is that it's not forjournalism at all, that the government is basically trying heard about assange, but i am sure to prosecute him for helping chelsea heard about assange, but i am sure he would get a fair trial and the manning and for facilitating the
8:17 pm
ability to present a defence come in original theft of documents from us ability to present a defence come in a full and vigorous defence wherever custody. so, ithink he is tried in the united states. we original theft of documents from us custody. so, i think this would be a very different case if the government were prosecuting assange must leave it there. really good to talk to you. thank you, mark. i for holding onto our disseminating or publishing classified national wager ajames talk to you. thank you, mark. i wager a james bond film fan as well. security information that it would be hard to see the difference thank you for your time. between assange and the new york we will find a how the story many times are the bbc braces at in the others are covered tomorrow. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered jensen charge not for any general in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 exempt but for facilitating the and 11:30 this evening in the papers underlying crime. i'm afraid we must — our guestsjoining me tonight are the head of politics leave it there but thank you for at the daily mirror, jason beattie and the political correspondent joining us from austin in texas, for the evening standard, kate proctor. good to talk to you. the headlines on bbc news... the first privately—financed mission to the moon is attempting to land on its surface in the next few minutes. julian assange is found guilty of breaching his bail — more now on the latest brexit developments, after british police arrested the wikilea ks founder, and the government is hoping following seven years they will pass a withdrawal agreement through the commons in the ecuadorian embassy. in time to avoid having to fight the eu parliamentary elections, but they are now having to lay theresa may tells mps she wants britain to leave the european union the groundworkjust in case. a re—energised ukip says it as soon as possible, will campaign vigorously in any such

8:25 pm
here in the early hours. why should people consider that translation: brotherhoods you are still the person disappearing, i don't want my india to become a country where people to preside over this? are fighting amongst each other. well, what we have agreed tonight means that we can actually leave this election is being seen as a referendum the european union before on prime minister narendra modi. the 30th of june. what we need is to ensure his supporters say he's we have an agreement in parliament, been a strong man who's that we can get through. protected india's interests. others say the better days it is quite a stretch though to imagine this could be wrapped up by the end ofjune. he promised never arrived. theresa may metjeremy corbyn in the last five years, again this afternoon, putting energy into trying to find unemployment‘s risen to its highest a compromise with labour. for nearly half a century. it is a tall order to imagine the two big even so, this country's advanced parties can come together. under prime minister modi. and without a deal like that, there it's the world's fastest growing major economy, set to overtake the uk. is no obvious other way through. laura kuenssberg with that report and our political correspondent but india is characterised jonathan blake is in westminster by deep divides. elections are the one time the country's powerless can send with the latest now. a message to those in power. are they happy with the way this extension clearly buys theresa things are going, or will they vote for change? may more time. six months. how is she going to use it? she will try to rajini vaidyanathan,
8:26 pm
do what she has been doing for the last six months and a longer. that bbc news, calcutta. is to get a deal, some sort of an agreement through the house of commons. and to leave the european union, you heard there in lower‘s rapport, as soon as possible. with the challenge for her to do that remains an incredibly difficult. —— laura's report. she will carry on with government and the short term, we'll talk between minister and the labour party to try and find some sort of a compromise where they can adapt the political declaration which sets the future relationship ina which sets the future relationship in a broad terms between the uk and the eu to see if that can find support of the house of commons. if those talks come to nothing come at the prime minister said today, at the prime minister said today, at the despatch box the government will put forward a series of scenarios for possible brexit outcomes that mps would then vote on. in a similar way to they have done already. but crucially, she said the government stands ready to follow the lead of parliament, and an act which ever option and they go for, but the
8:27 pm
labour party where you need to put his weight behind that as well. and i agreed to stick by whatever parliament could reach a consensus on. in the immediate term, theresa may has told mps to go away over easter, the late easter break come and have a think and reflect on what needs to be done, but i have to say even though she now has more time, the challenge facing her in terms of finding some consensus or conclusion to the brexit process is getting more difficult with if anything. we know theresa may and jeremy corbyn met for face—to—face talks earlier today, do we have any further details about them and whether they might bearfruit? details about them and whether they might bear fruit? it was just details about them and whether they might bear fruit? it wasjust a very brief face—to—face meeting in parliament this afternoon. where we are told that both leaders agreed to keep working to try and find a compromise so no real update of substance on those talks, and they have been going on for a week or so
8:28 pm
now, and both sides keeping relatively tight—lipped about the detail what has been discussed, but although they say they are serious, both labour and the government in their engaging in these talks in good faith we try to get down to the nitty—gritty of exactly what each side is willing to give there are not many answers forthcoming frankly. so the effort is there, but whether the political reality means that it will be very difficult if not impossible for labour and the government to come to an agreement which they can then sell to their respective parties at this stage, does not look likely. thank you, jonathan. well, lets return to our lead story now because we are hearing that the spacecraft has reached the moon but not landed successfully. professor monica grady teaches
