fundamental protection and we determined to build something here for the next generation. vs the multi media environment series w. this is d w news live from berlin tonight back on earth a la a walking carrying crew to the international space station malfunctions in mid-air leaving only seconds to prevent a deadly disaster the launch in kazakhstan appeared to go well at first but minutes after blast off the two astronauts reported the problem and were forced to make an emergency landing we'll get the latest from moscow also coming up and returning to

the ruins of the shocked people of florida discover the destruction left behind by the state's most violent storm in more than a century. and e.w. sits down with former germany captain michel balik to talk about the state of the national football team he says could you walk in love is lucky to still have his job after germany's world cup disaster. i bring golf it's good to have you with us an extraordinary feat of survival two astronauts emerged unscathed today after a failed rocket take off the pair parachuted down in kazakhstan after a booster on their soyuz rocket failed in route to the international space station now they're safe and we understand they are in good health tonight but russia says

it is suspending manned launches from the baikonur cosmodrome pending an investigation here's more now on that very close call today. safe and well with the medical equipment the only sign of 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 punish listings look to be going to plan. and there is liftoff of the still use in mess 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 the second one hit the floor the minute 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 we are told that the rescue forces are in communication with and make a intellect 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 relief all round that taken off chain and landed back on earth on. the more on this we want to bring in our correspondent your shadow he's in moscow tonight good evening to you yuri i mean we've been talking all day about this being a story of nerves of steel the cosmonaut and the astronaut they kept their cool throughout this what could have been a life threatening disaster and made it safely back to earth i mean their story and helping survive that's really the big story today use of it. as it is well

what it is even more to come remarkable brant is that the u.s. astronaut and the russian cosmonauts don't need any medical attention after this crash landing by the way this is the second case of fortunate risk of the crew off to such a crash landing in nineteen seventy five two soviet cosmonauts landed in say period . less fortunate and had to be treated medically or for the very long time so in some ways the rescue today was an extremely happy and for the astronauts we could see on television here in russia their arrival back by canoe and to their welcome again ceremony if you want with their families i was at baikonur cosmodrome in june this year and i saw thirsts hand how emotional this whole process is for the families we can only major how much of a shock it was for the relatives when they saw a capsule crashing into the sky and what a relief it was afterwards for everyone you know we can certainly measure how happy

they are tonight the astronauts are saved but how big of a setback is this for the russian space program and for russia in general. well for russia this is of course the sad news and it comes at a time when moscow is an outcast on the international stage for the alleged meddling in the us elections for its policy in ukraine for the alleged poisoning of the former russian agents crippled in great britain so this crash is just of the latest in a string of bad news from russia after the space mission brand well this is without any doubt a bad days as well but on the other hand as the russian space agency gets lots of support for example from the european space agency its director general johan verna writes that the safe return of the crew shows how extremely reliable the so u.s. transport system is so i think russia still has the image of a great space nation despite the temporary suspending of manned space flights.

they were headed for the international space station you saw use rocket for now is the only way to get there so what about the astronauts who are on board the international space station. well this certainly isn't reason to panic i question for survival for them as there is enough food water and oxygen on the ice as at least for the next healthy also astronauts on the ice as can return to earth in the space shuttle docked on the ais as about the astronauts on the us s. now will definitely be short handed they wore a supposed to be five people and now with there are just three at least for the time being of the german command and it's time to get us to will have to change its plans now there will be obviously thought few experiments and there will be no space walks anymore so heading for you astronauts is not that dramatic not that bad but it's not great especially because nobody can say how now when as

a next group i fly to the ais is you know as one astronaut said today in outer space three people is nice but having five people on board is even nicer you're a shutter on the storyboards tonight in moscow thank you in the united states one of the most powerful storms on record has hit the mainland and it has been battering southern coastal states hurricane michael made landfall in florida killing at least two people and leaving destruction and flooding in its wake michael weekend as it moved inland but it's now drenching areas that were just beginning to recover from a hurricane last month. parts of mexico beach completely trashed by storm michael the town in florida is one of the hardest hit areas here this is our house likely feeling healthy. this man managed to return to his home but it's almost unrecognizable. just be able to survive. his house with
