a man on the move. and the fight to combat the spread of each i v a as we report from south africa tonight on signs of progress in the battle against the disease. i'm burnt off to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome to today members of the european parliament made history by electing the 1st woman to be european commission president germany's outgoing defense minister ursula fund a lion is now president elect of the e.u. commission will succeed. in the top job after being voted in by a very narrow margin of just 9 votes. will be the 1st woman to serve as

commission president. and she has promised a unified and strong europe saying that she will work pragmatically to get things done. i feel so all notes and i'm overwhelmed and i thank you for the trust you placed in me here the trust you placed in me is confidence you placed in europe your confidence in the united and a strong europe from east to west from south to north your confidence in a europe that is ready to fight for the future rather than fighting against each other your confidence in a europe that will take the fixed challenges of our times together but task ahead of us me it's a big responsibility and my work starts now i thing president saucily i think all the group leaders i thank all the members softball you

meant for decided to vote for me today but my message so all of you is let us work together constructively because the endevor is a united a strong euro thank you very much thank you 1st of all for speaking there our brussels bureau chief max hoffman spoke to the president elect of the european commission shortly after the vote was an up on the line is with us today and i have a very simple question to start out the interview are you feeling. relieved and happy because it was a tough ride over 13 days now i have to. formulate the guidelines the political guidelines and to convince the parliament terry ns and this was not a matter of time and i made it and i'm happy right now does the majority bother you

that it was only 9 votes ahead. majorities majority and 2 weeks ago i didn't have at all a majority of course understand that because the parliamentarian said we want to know more of you we want to know what your program is we want to know the details of the topics we're dealing with so it was a tough time a very intense of the most intensive in my political career i've ever had but now i'm happy and you happy with the speech you delivered the feedback you got yes because it showed my conviction and it's worth the fight for this europe and it's worth to tell the story of our europe united and strong how i see it for the future and so this was a important moment you made a lot of promises today you do realize it'll be very tough to keep all of those right but it's right it's not promises it's politics and policy would want to bring forward if we're talking about the climate neutral continent in 2050 it's necessary

that we act we have to take bold action to achieve those goals and we needed for our planet and for life so these all these topics are extremely important and we have to be ambitious and what would you say of all those topics you talked about which is your absolute top priority i think top priority is. the climate mutuality 2050 with a goal for 2030 and digitalization those are the 2 biggest concerns all opportunities. we have to tackle you're going to work with a divided parliament words harder than ever to get a majority and also you could say with a divided council because you have a rift between eastern europe and the other european countries for example on migration how will you handle this i think we absolutely have to overcome the division of east and west between east and west i know that people in the eastern countries central european countries often think they are not accepted as

they should be and as i've been working as a defense minister very much in those countries i have a lot of friends and they trust me so i know how to work together that we can improve the relationship and there is a division between north and south has to do with questions of competitiveness and flexibility and we have to solve that too why that because europe has to be united there are many many big questions we have to tackle and europe has to play a role and we only can do that when we are united ok so what are you doing over the summer. i'll spend it in process of getting my cabinet there the commissioners on board and to work on my work programme that i have to lay down and lay out in october was a lot for the president elect's of the european commission thank you very much for talking to us. and that was our max hoffman they're sticking with the president

elect of the european commission here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world at least 10 people have died after a residential building collapsed in the indian city of mumbai rescuers are looking for several others feared trapped in the rubble collapses are common during monsoon season as heavy rain weakens poorly constructed buildings the 1st ebola patient in goma a major city in the east of the democratic republic of congo has died prompting fears that the contagious disease could now take hold they are the victim was a pastor who became infected last week when visiting a town heavily hit by the outpouring. climate activists from the group extinction rebellion have blocked the entrance to a concrete factory in london they're trying to stop the construction of a road tunnel under the river thames and they've planned a week of disruption in 5 british cities trying to urge the government to take action on climate change. a united nations report shows that the number of

new hiv infections around the world is falling but that del ward trend is slowing the report's authors blamed the slowdown on a reduction in funding for public information of south africa is one of the country's worst affected by hiv aids one in 7 south africans lives with the virus health professionals say a hard hitting educational campaign is helping to ease the crisis there correspondent adrian krege sent us this report tonight from the town of each show in quantity luton atol province. engineering student. is on her way to the campus health center students can get tested for hiv for free in the waiting room there's a video advertisement footprint of preventative medicine that protects against the virus she began taking prep few months ago which involves taking one tablet per day

and going for a checkup every 2 months. hiv aids is spreading like very fast these days these years the in our youth so i don't it's. being suppressed it's myself and actually i'm proud a wish like everyone can do it because i think this is the easiest way to prevent it having a from spading. is trying to persuade more students to use prep to protect themselves against hiv she says that while she wouldn't talk to her parents about hiv the subject is no longer to be amongst her p s the funniest and most of all i know that we don't like using condoms or section that is we don't like using condoms so just in case we're not feeling like using condoms we can use a cause we know we don't have a problem because we know that we estimate it's if it is to face that's why using the college often ph is one of the 1st to offer age i.v. health center on campus it's part of a project in the shiite by doctors without borders that has been usually successful

in the last few years it's with the help of the project that the area has been able to reach the so-called 1990 goal a year ahead of schedule the goal was conceived at the u.n. as a treatment target to help and lee aids epidemic world white the aim is this by 202090 percent of all those living with hiv know their status 90 percent diagnosed with hiv infection will receive antiretroviral therapy and 90 percent of people receiving therapy will have viral suppression since 20. men aged to. pandemic have as it is called this access project is mainly driven by the way in which we approached it from the web go community entry which allowed the community leadership to be part and parcel of the project and one of them is beginning my use of it traditional leader who is open about

being h. i.v. positive. when i 1st told people i was hiv positive they were shocked they took one look at me and said you can have aids and not look sick or lose weight no one had suspected anything until i told them only then did some people believe me and even have themselves tested as well. we call in the muslim or god and i was there my daughter asked young women are still at the highest risk but health workers our also concerned about men many of them they say are very difficult to reach. at the main bus station doctors without borders have set up a testing center just foment. workers try to convince passers by to have themselves tested for free often without success less than half of the young male hiv carriers take antiretroviral drugs. i think they're afraid to test i

think they said but they were using pump less awful as i said in the canaries team so they can we give them when they call home and they sting and i think they have to cope a contest for yours so. convinced that her country is on the right path she wants to do her bit and continue to bring attention to the age iris amongst her friends. well 50 years ago today july 16th 1969 neil armstrong buzz aldrin and michael collins the 3 gentlemen you see. i mean they were poised to make history as part of the apollo 11 mission millions tuned in to watch their rocket the most powerful ever built see it right there lift all of these are the original black and white images taken as the 1st manned mission to the moon took to the sky lift off from nasa kennedy space center in florida and 4 days later it would reach

its lunar destination. the apollo mission was america demonstrating its power to the world at the time today those black and white images they are available in color and they bring in a new generation and bring it closer to one of the 20th century's most defining moments. for neil armstrong. michael collins. and buzz aldrin it was the mission of their lives the estimated probability for success was put it only 20 percent by nasa technicians and engineers. the launch was followed by multiple complex maneuvers each of which would have disastrous consequences if anything went wrong to get to the moon pilot mike collins had to ignite an engine to the nearest 2nd and then down the lander ferry and separated from the rocket. charlie duke was one of the

team members at the control center he kept in touch with the astronauts on their mission. that the ready enthusiasm for space was building but we were behind in the space race with the russians so that motivated the u.s. to commit to it. there was a tense moment 4 days into the mission when armstrong and aldrin flew towards the moon again and again the radio cut out. then the navigation computer sounded the alarm. armstrong took control and landed the lunar module gently on the moon surface. when neil. through the eagle is. very excitedly said roger poised for it will be all the grail you got to but you guys about the

blue. buzz aldrin filmed armstrong setting foot on the moon along with his historic words. armstrong then went about collecting dust and rock samples buzz aldrin set up some scientific equipment. together they planted the stars and stripes in the moon surface. and then the last big challenge the lunar module has only one engine and if it failed it would mean that the astronauts would be stranded on the moon.

the mansion makes it into orbit around the moon without any problems and almost 4 hours later it docks on to the command capsule. what seemed like an impossible feat had been accomplished and on july 24th the 3 astronauts returned to earth 1st they went into quarantine they could have brought dangerous microbes with them but later they were hailed as heroes all of them visibly touched by their part in the adventure of the century. that it's still moving to see those pictures today 50. years on the talk about what we've learned of those have 2 years i'm joined now by keith cowing he's an astrobiologist he's editor of the american space program blog nasa watch keith it's good to have you on the show and what have we learned 50 years on after that incredible day a half century ago when we 1st landed on the move. well what we've learned has

changed over time and now we're learning that we should have gone back a long time ago we've learned since we sent humans there in the 1960 s. that the moon is not a bone dry place that there's currently water ice at the least the south pole and what we've also learned is not just with the definition we uses terms of humidity it's not just the u.s. and russia who are interested in the moon it's japan and china and india and israel and a whole bunch of other countries so what we learn is change over time and think again the consensus is now that it's been 50 years and somebody walk there it's time to go back in 50 years ago you know we were in the cold war the space race was between the u.s. and the former soviet union you know you mentioned now all the other countries that are going to the moon so what is this current space race about is it about science or are we still talking about political prestige and showing you know military

muscle if you will. well you know the thing about a race is it everybody in the race has to agree that there is a race and some people are going to the moon for scientific reasons some are going for you know prestigious reasons but there's another player that we have now that we didn't have in the sixty's that is the private sector and muscular jeff bezos are building their own rockets with their own money and they will have the ability to go to the moon when and where and why they wish to go so it's an amalgam it's a mix and it's ever changing and the more people who get involved the more reasons there are to go so it's markedly different than the sixty's which was we have to beat the other guys and keep it i'd like you to listen to what a russian cosmonaut i think his name is fi adore your kitchen what he had to say about today he was a boy at the time of the moon landing but listen to his thoughts here and it was abilities believe that back then i was 10 and

a half years old and i had dreamt of becoming an astronaut for a long time but what really happened is that you my heroes were yuri gagarin and also neil armstrong i don't make a distinction between them what they both did they did for all mankind and yes it was a pity it wasn't us russian it's not even the will but space travel was developing fast and it was clear to us that many countries would send their astronauts into space and it was full of now i'm at the end of my career as an active astronaut but i have never been to the moon as one of the moment so he's saying that it was our humanity maybe a bigger part of our humanity that we discovered when we went to the moon what about at nasa what we discovered i mean you know the programs there you know the problem with financing and funding what could be improved today. well i was 14 at the time so what he says resonates with me very much part of the problem and the ministry of defense has brought this up recently the real problem going back to the moon is never did rocket science is we did that 50 years ago and other people are

doing it it's political and can you maintain a program for enough years justify the expense to congress and you know go through elections and still have the next administration want to support something and there's a lot of risk that goes with that that soften political risk so you know i guess what we've also learned now is that why is it so hard to do something now that we just 50 years ago and nobody quite has the answer this is the 3rd time in the past 30 years that we've tried to go back to the moon i hope it's the last time i hope we do go back but only time will tell yeah and are you concerned about the militarization of space certain that we had the u.s. president in the vice president recently saying we're going to go to the moon we're going to go to mars and at the same time announcing the creation of space force which is another military branch in the u.s. well the space for simply renaming things that we've already been doing and as far

as the militarization of space that started in the 1940 s. when the germans launched the 2 rockets and there has been the militarization of space ever since so people who are afraid that it's something new it's not it's just that in my opinion the president likes to say the word space force a lot and that's why we're doing it or i think you go ahead of there of the nasa watch website if we appreciate your insights tonight and sharing your memories too of about when you were just a young boy watching man go to the moon thank you if you. well this week we remember that 50th anniversary of humans landing on the moon for the 1st time that was the past but lunar exploration it also has a future in the next decade nasa plans to send humans back to the moon and then even further. the rockets are set to carry modules for a space station to orbit the moon the lunar orbital platform gateway or lucky for

short is a modest successor to the international space station like the i assess this project will be developed through international cooperation under nasa as leadership. astronauts will be able to launch and monitor missions on the lunar surface from the new orbiting station. first they will study the moon with remote controlled robots to determine the extent and location of the moon's resources. later astronauts will be able to reach the moon from the gateway the aim is to build a permanent base on the lunar surface where technologies could be developed and tested.

then they can advance further into space toward mars. the long term goal is to use the gateway as a kind of assembly line and transfer station for the astronauts on their long journey to the red planet but that probably won't be possible and till over a decade from now at the earliest. and back here on earth soccer's preseason is well underway for some of europe's biggest clubs fitness and finances are in focus and apparently traveling as well manchester united are hoping that a glamour getaway. will help persuade their best player to stay while byron munich are soaking up the limelight in los angeles. it might look like the start of holidays but fall by in munich the trial of our journey to california is the beginning of serious pre-season business still no amount of jetlag could stop the players from signing autographs are. why i travel over 9000 kilometers

just to prepare. a despotic i know no one is doing it just for fun it's a must these days we have big sponsor contracts and makes picked us to present ourselves internationally as well as nationally was and. then we started doing these trips around 18 years ago we had 3 fan clubs here in america now we have 115 from. in japan for their pre-season friendly so chelsea is coming to terms with a play a transfer ban that means new coach frank lampard will have to read his magic with existing play us. think of a narrative very good players we can't bring any players in we know that this year . i don't need it i'm very happy with the squad and it's going to for us to be successful manchester united also on the move in australia but the manager can't avoid the same question about the future of world cup winner paul pogba there's

always room or speculations about money united players split when the league starts we batten the hatches down and we stick together since the words of unity from down under from a coach whose own future relies on getting united back on top. and finally we're taking new zealand where 2 intruders forced the owner of a sushi stand to call the police the intruders by the way they were penguins now at 1st this black and white duo resisted but eventually we understand the police convinced them to fly the coop. caught red flipper too little blue penguins hiding in a wellington sushi shop but they weren't after the fish they were looking for a nest so i ran the saw me a pink ones around coming out much on a walk into foyer place with i'm in my can sit up shop til i eat so i don't an ogress huddling under the restaurant's warm grill the 2 lovebirds cover was blown

when a worker at the sushi outlet sensed something fishy the police rushed to the site and carefully detained the penguins but despite their criminal energy the 2 waddling fake ransom won't have to fear jail time. thing was absolutely protected on the wall of it which means that you can't touch them pick them up handle them them in any way the adventurous a pair of released back into wellington harbor and will now have to start looking for a more private breeding spot. and here's a reminder of the top stories that we're following for you or so far the lion is now president elect of the european commission for the lion is from germany and she is the 1st woman to head the commission and the world is marking the 50th anniversary of the apollo mission to the moon 50 years ago today the apollo 11 rocket blasted off from the kennedy space center in florida beginning its journey to the moon. you're watching news wire from oberlin after

a short break i'll be back to take you through the day tonight we'll introduce you to the european commission's 1st madame president elect and as we remember the 1st moon landing we take a closer look at the moon rocks that the astronauts brought back to be right back. good.
