their ordeal a few hours early yet the two astronauts have been all smiles ready to spend six months aboard the international space station three two one engines of a punishment things look to be going to plan. and there is liftoff of the still use in miss tin the rocket successfully blasting off from its launch pad in kazakhstan but less than three minutes into the journey it became very obvious there was a problem. before christmas and i just to florida i mean it's going to five seventy eight. the failure of. the astronauts capsule making what nasa cooled a steep ballistic descent another vietnam comfortable ride back down to earth and some worrying moments at mission control until you are told now that the rescue forces are in communication with and make a intellects feel chinon we're hearing that they're in good condition those rescue

forces having rushed to the site where the capsule came down it might be a setback for russian space program but that's a relief all round that taken off chin and landed back on. our well for more on this as were handed over to russia correspondent yuri was shadow in moscow yuri talk of nerves of steel i mean the cosmonaut and kept their cool throughout this very scary ordeal and made it back safely to earth it's an incredible story of survival. yes it is lisle and what is even more remarkable is that the the u.s. astronaut and the russian cosmonaut don't need any medical attention after this crash landing yeah they are obviously in good health they are back at the by canoe cause more drawn to be will probably soon be brought to moscow to the international space training center star city so in some ways this is an extremely happy and for

the astronauts russian television show at their arrival back it's by canoe and how they were happy to buy their family i wasn't baikonur cosmodrome in june of this year when the german astronaut looks on the guest flew to the eyes and so i saw firsthand how emotional this whole process is for the families we can only major how much of a shock it was for the relatives when the capsule crashing and what a big relief it was afterwards because it could have all gone horribly wrong and thankfully it hasn't the astronauts are safe but how big of a setback is this yuri for the russian space program and just russian general well for russia generally this is of course a sad news and it comes at a time when russia is an outcast on the international stage for its aggressive policy against ukraine for the alleged alledged poisoning of the former russians edge and script holland for the alleged interference into the us elections and that

this crash is just of the latest in a string of bad news from russia despite the fact that the both astronauts have survived and this is a bad day for the russian space program as well of course russia has the image of a space nation of a nation that gave the world to the first man in space you're going but today russia suspend its manned space flights for the time being at least as long as of the coals of the crash landing is being investigated right now the astronauts yuri were headed for the international space station what about the astronauts on board the i assess. well this certainly isn't a reason for panic or a question of survival there there is an offer of food obviously water and x. oxygen on the ice as butter the astronauts on the assess will definitely be shorthanded there was supposed to be five people and no there are just three at least for the time being the commander there is a guest of the german i was on the guest and he will have to change his plans now

there will be obviously far few experiments and there will be no space walks off u.s. space walks it will also be more complicated to fix any potential damage to the space station itself so having fewer astronauts and the isis is not that there's a dramatic but it's not great is special because nobody knows when the next group will be able to launch exactly your shadow thank you so much for your continued coverage on this story. all right let's bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. one of the most powerful storms to hit the u.s. in decades in the u.s. made landfall in florida on wednesday hurricane michael killed at least two people and left a trail of damage and flooding in its wake it's been downgraded to a tropical storm as it moves inland but neighboring states are bracing for more destruction. a powerful cycle on has struck eastern india with winds of up to one
