a long time to be away from family and friends correspondent judy woodruff shattered films these pictures of dr guest saying goodbye on his way to the launch pad crews are quantum teen before takeoff to safeguard against illness and he had one last message for his mother before they drove off. thomas reiter is an astronaut and an advisor to the european space agency earlier from the launch site in baikonur shared with us some of his memories from his own time on the i assess and we asked him if he was perhaps wishing that he was on his way back into space. really marvelous memories for me it's already more than twenty years ago that i was launching from. at this time to the russian space station mir now seen this perfect launch today i was just gorgeous and of course seeing the three person crew with syria and sergei blasting into the blue

sky. it's just marvelous if somebody would ask me if my boss would ask me if i would be ready to go again i wouldn't have to think twice it takes ninety minutes only to fly around the earth every ninety minutes you have a sunrise sunset and when you're on the night side of the orbit the look into the stary sky is something unbelievable i've never seen such hysteria sky here from so this all together makes it extremely unique to live and work up there. thomas reiter speaking to us of the mouse is an out of blog as from the european space agency said control team welcome to d.w. so heavenly your job is to make sure it goes out there safely and come back safely kind of so i have no crew support and calm which means so for crew support we support the astronaut before its mission so when they're assigned to a mission or two years before we will support them preparing the mission we support

their launch during the mission and post flight and of course landing when they come back we'll pick them up so when it happened earlier this afternoon what was going through your mind as you watched so i got to know them quote and this is i did on the guest yes sorry i thought alexander guest and well i could feel it too so i know he's really confident he knows what he's doing he's cool about it i think but watching it from the balloon terrio i already got kind of nervous and they can imagine my colleague who was there in the baikonur was even more if you wanted to go up yourself. i like both so i like it here on ground as well very much because it's also a really nice a child with a lot of responsibility and you get to know the crew you get to know very different people it's very interdisciplinary but i would never say no to going up of course i think almost no one would say no you know this is i got

a guest set and i assess the mission he's also due to take to manage when he gets up there so what how would you say his job as commander be different from those of use crewmates. so as a commander he is the greatest want to believe he'll have a few of all of his colleagues great over a few of all the tasks to do and also being in contact with the ground with frank control teams and the flight directors taking their. decisions so and he'll make sure it's carried out on board and as well if there are any kind of emergencies like fire repartee person toxic atmosphere on station he will have their responsibility and share dillo workload kind of in between all the six crew members you know the isis has been an operation i think since nineteen ninety eight so. quite a time is there any part of it that's routine yet that's

a good question so even for me of work to an hour and a half it's already a routine handoff but i think still there's this routine you know how to do a mission we know how to prepare but for every astronaut there's something new a day maybe you want something new in preparation and there's always something we haven't done before so it's always exciting and it's all of us knew the challenges and while they're up there for six months what would be doing so today i would have mainly carry out many projects so far looks and a guest we heard today it's about two hundred and fifty of them are european so he will have a lot. to do to read through the experiments to understand them and then to read through all the procedures but he has to do so you can imagine when he gets up in the morning there's a conference where you discuss what you're going to do during that they would close yes a timeline so you do that on the ground we will discuss this with him in the exec you saw there is the euro common day european communicator and all the

international partners for their flight control teams also have communicate us and reset kind of we sit together but we speak of space to ground the astronauts in the morning and see if there are any changes to the plan or if he had a question the evening before and we can answer it but we wish you all well six months we will get you out here back thank you talk to sources and ultimately thank you thank you. if you want to find out more about a mission or see those pictures of the blast off again dose of d w dot com forward slash science or follow our science team on twitter you can see the hardware at the bottom of the screen. fresh flows of superheated from guatemala as volcano fire forced more people from their homes officials now say at least seventy five people have been killed since the volcano began erupting at the weekend almost two hundred more are still missing or thorgeir service have issued new evacuation

trade tariffs will take effect in july the bloc announced today that it will impose import duties on a raft of u.s. products about three point four billion dollars worth of u.s. goods are expected to be affected ranging from agricultural products to steel borne whiskey a list that the e.u. says could be expanded the penalties are in response to increased u.s. students on imported steel and alimony and that took effect this month. but says the w.'s of business correspondent in frankfurt earlier we asked him if these tariffs would affect the average european consumer. he could very well be here in the euro zone for example in the european union because all these items are consumer items now of course not everyone buys a harley or is up for a bottle of bourbon from the united states from kentucky or someplace like that but . for other items like orange juice peanut butter jeans these are items where

typically retailers don't have a lot of margin to absorb so if they have tariffs then they'll pass it on and then people will be paying more for that here in the european union. and support argentina have counseled saturday's football world cup woman in israel following propellants tinian protests the decision has upset some of israel's leaders with subsetting that leo messi and his teammates and coaches succumbing to threats. some poly was unhappy about playing a friendly in israel because of logistical reasons so close to the will. now the game is cancelled but for very different reasons. the match was originally switch from haifa to jerusalem angering palestinians the city has become the focus of controversy after u.s. president donald trump recognized it as israel's capital palestinians were further incensed because the jerusalem stadium is in the neighborhood of a former palestinian village having burned the argentinian flag protesters friend
