astronaut alexander guest is pilot of the soyuz spacecraft taking the team up to the i s s it will be a second mission to the space lab he take over as commander later this year. i guess and his two astronauts american some family and friends are correspondingly shutter shot these pictures of alexander guess saying goodbye to the window of a bus on his rates the launch pad crews are quarantined before takeoff to see if god against illness. and asked to alex's one last message for his mother before driving off have a look. at their son go to do the obvious science correspondent. he's at that european space agency's event in zines a planetarium. so figure you were watching the takeoff right there were thousands

of other people there must have been a great sense of excitement when liftoff finally happened. amazing it was an absolutely amazing sense of excitement here the planetarium. for it was in the baikonur cosmodrome but we you know it was absolutely palpable to use our cliche here lots of kids here lots of adults people from all sectors of society as i could sort of pick out you know real enthusiasm and about the whole launch and what's coming in the next couple of months now with i was on a mission and actually right now of course is an out of here crop aeration is engineer with a dear law center to tell me what was it like if you you followed this mission this long for some time now so how would you feel like you've launched as well kind of i do yes so you support it. since a few years so it always starts a crew support support when they're assigned to mission the action out and then restart preparing and throughout the mission and post flight so. you get to know

him quite well and then issues like i have launched as i was kind of nervous sitting there that everything was to go really well for alex i mean that almost sounds like it's a bit of you know like a personal system but it's a bit more detail you know you're you're really looking after the well the well being of the astronauts aren't you that's correct so it sounds like a person or senses but read you compared to mission for him so it's kind of for example. compared to food because it's kind of important to them to have something from their home with them that remembers reminds them where they're from and so on so this is quite a lot of work before and then when they launch we'll go there with them as well and their family because it's been. a week full of. excitement and mission so it's really exciting for the family and for the. food come on could you give us the secret recipe the secret meals but isn't there. a chance.

i don't know who. the other two but alex taking some pieces with him from from of course for those who don't come push rather than what is ours i guess or yes i was rome i said he wouldn't be using. numbers i don't know the recipes now by a hug but for sure he'd take some swabia recipes with him and so i said ok so tell us a bit about the science that's going to take place because you're also involved in helping out with the science missions on this mission the russians mission show us another part of my child besides crew supporters being a euro come in the fly control team and that's where we all support the astronauts on board every day so they have a timeline the schedule which democrat today we're going to do this experiment after this experiment there's the other one and they're doing some exercise after so we follow through the entire day and before we go in concert we look at it ok

there are six paramount. anything and we look at it ok what i understand to procedure isn't really clear to me because if it's not to me maybe it's the same questions as i do so we go to the trainers or we look at their hardware and say ok i'm going to try the procedure myself and see where i have troubles and then. the trainers before i go in consul and we look for things with those results as i was a mover thank you very much and reserve banks in the studio if you could talking about eating an alexander guest seems to care about what he eats because he's been tweeting what he had to eat just before he went off the job and it was a russian dish ulk sure. enough about his eating habits but to tell what. he is above you know there's been a lot of buzz about the fact that alexander guest is on this mission is going to take over as commander in a few months from now how important is that for germany and for european space

exploration. i think it is. very important to have a german not to have a german as a commodity i assessed but it is very fact that it is important for jews for germany that he happens to be german expert about why it is a very prestigious roles a very important role i mean you know a command will go about his business and let's not forget there are also female commanders peggy whitson being one in the past that i can think of right now but the role is if they do this stuff but it's when things happen when somebody has to take control on the i assess that you have somebody actually there in space who can help sort out and communicate directly with ground control because a mission like this is always controlled from the ground you do need to have somebody on the i assess who is a commander who can deal with the other members of the team in a more direct fashion so it is it's like it's important because it is just important for a mission to have a commander but it is a very prestigious role because they are being so few say from europe but also from

germany you know this is the first site they think. there will be given any thank you very much for sharing all that excitement with us as well as your scientific expertise that is as they say rocket science thank you now if you want to find it even more about alex guess mission to or to watch the watch the blastoff go to dot com stash signs off on a science team on twitter you can see the hand right there at the bottom of the screen let me know when you have to give it some of the stories making news around the wide germany's angela merkel has been answering questions from lawmakers in the chances first ever q any session in the bundestag she responded to questions about the upcoming g. seven summit in canada and a vote in the best case you crisis from now on the chancellor will face questions from linda stark you will make us three times a year. fitly in jordan have has a second nationwide strike to protest against

about what's to come. fleeing the disaster zone. people left their homes as fast as they could taking with them only what they could carry on their own. many hoping for a quick escape or slowed down by clogged roads. authorities issued evacuation orders for half a dozen villages after increased volcanic activity on tuesday raising the threat of further lava flows and hot ash. the reports of panic brothers tried not to. let it get the truth is you don't know what to do. i think what we have to do is to be calm and prayed. i. want to feel those made homeless have been turning to emergency shelters they're depending on authorities to take care of their immediate needs. it's

a juvenile matter from the nasty federation of the red cross and i asked him what he was hearing from the rescue us on the ground. yesterday there are more explosions from the balcony where go were reported and of course as part of a question for at least another six communities the recent rains which we all saw were concerned about or. grew for collapse in some plates which was one of our concerns as well. the situation could actually be the worst in what amount across in our colleagues in the field continue responding to lifesaving activities an urgent need in closely of course monitoring the situation because it's the not over so the number of evacuees is increasing so far it's over three thousand two hundred in different emergency shelters where direct cross as well as other human turn organizations are present providing lifesaving assistance and basic core in the basic needs in these very difficult times that was given
