history today when its mars helicopter attempts the 1st controlled flight on the other planets. on publicly as welcome to the program we begin with the huge news in european football 12 talk clubs from spain italy and england have announced the formation of a breakaway super league the new maid we competition will be independent of european football's governing body you way for the super league is expected to be lucrative and include europe's top moneymaking teams including manchester united ac milan and round madrid as well as the 12 founding clubs another 3 are expected to join before the 1st season which according to a statement will say it will start as soon as practicable. now you wife has

threatened to sanction clubs that take part in the breakaway league they released a statement saying that the clubs concerned will be banned from playing in any other competition domestic european or world level on their players could be denied the opportunity to represent their national teams so will pretty huge consequences or potentially huge consequences for break way clubs and earlier i spoke to rob powers he's a global sports correspondent for the associated press and i asked him how much of an earthquake this is for european football we've had threats of super leagues in the possible clubs but never has it come to this poised with an actual announcement not that walking away that going alive and well even the existing structures and it's happened so quickly because on friday you wake up believe it had approval from the likes of you ventus in particular who's boss andrei and yet he runs the european club association all a new format for the champions league in 2024 but over the weekend it quickly

emerged to your wife about something was afoot and as we've seen now the 12 rival teams have announced that they will be the founding members of this new super league and they have 3 more founders to join them avenge their 20 team competition and they really want to start as soon as practically possible right where you've mentioned 12 rebel teams there you've called them that there are some noticeable absences from the super league at for now with least at like german football clubs why is that rob. yeah no no german clubs know french clubs as well and the question is why if they decided to stay away was it fearing a backlash from the fans. you know some clubs might feel they had to sign up so they didn't miss out on what could be a potentially transformative lucrative moment but not having those german clubs not having by and in particular that when they are the right wing european champions does deal a blow to these new super late plans and they might just scoping out the landscape

in terms of not saying anything but waiting to see is this something that becomes an actual viable plan thus far more than a threat but something that would become the new main competition within european football what they all know is that your wife on sunday issued a statement that day threats in any clubs with not being banned from say that european championship that players but also not be else playing at domestic competitions as well so you would be able to play in tandem with the ball in this league and the champions league as things stand now fee for also threatened that play as it play a part in a safely would be prevented from playing in a world cup as well yeah i mean it's a incredibly strong statement for sure but i mean from what you're just saying there what would it mean for say championships like the champions league or or in the europa league as well. well you wafers already signed television contracts for

2021 the billions of euros that they generate the from the champions league and it is completely up and their plans for the competitions from they sold just because it's very hard to imagine as things stand now that if they did carry out their threat to launch this super league that they could start next season in the existing structure as well the way to get this off the ground is something that has to comes or had very quickly and of course you cope teams who are in the semifinals of the european competitions coming up you know the fact that you've got grammar driv playing chelsea 2 of the rebel teams who signed up all playing one of those semifinals rob say there is going to be plenty more news coming from this in the next few hours for sure global sports correspondent for the associated press thanks for joining us gets a spade. and we'll have more football in the form of bundesliga highlights later in

the program but moving on to some political news and here in germany the race to succeed going to medical as chancellor is heating up and no party seems to be struggling more to find a candidate to stand on her own the governing c.d.u. c.s.u. aline's had planned to announce a candidate over the weekend the standoff is between the various premier of moscow and the premier of germany's largest state north rhine-westphalia in blush it he's also with the president of the christian democratic union lash it is supported by party leadership and sudha of this morning sister party c.s.u. is a lot more popular among voters and being the biggest party in the conservative coalition it's traditionally the c d u who nominates the confidence to spearhead the joint campaign that has not publicly endorsed either of you for being. while the self-imposed deadline has

expired and there's still no decision so what happens next now earlier we put that question to. steve w.'s chief political editor that's the big question we meet one of these 2 men to do is to get the idea of say the next sounds accounted for the supposed to be ordinary one would think ok why don't they just have a well to. cast is chosen by the upper echelons of the posse backing . this policy is that now the smaller variances the party the c.s.u. is adamant that it doesn't because he is so much stronger in those opinion polls both when you ask the general public but also see you conservative follow is he's seen as the man who could deliver the whole votes at the ballot box and that is key argument so. hearing that individual groups in germany's federal states of the

c.d.u. are gathering this evening listen they've already come out in favor of ma. and that is was what could be a potential so down on tuesday if the parliamentary group in the end gets to decide this very question something so many assets the posse previously has been backed by and that marco wants to avoid it. we had a coach in our reporting there well let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world moscow has expelled 20 czech diplomats a day after prague announced it was kicking out 18 russian officials it said were military spies russia had promised to retaliate and said the czech republic was trying to please the united states. well the u.s. has warned russia there will be consequences if jailed opposition leader alexei navalny dies in prison and on these doctors say about after almost 3 weeks on hunger strike his life is hanging by

takeoff to prepare for flight on mars scientists had to recreate the red planet's unique atmospheric conditions on earth. weighing in at just under 2 kilos and standing just half a metre tall the pint sized helicopter underwent extensive testing. despite being a miracle of modern engineering ingenuity couldn't have made it to mars on its own instead it had to hitch a ride on the perseverance rover tucked away inside the vehicle. once safely arrived on the red planet ingenuities next challenge was to stretch its legs and get ready for its new life on mars on april 4th the transmitted images of its tiny travel companion still standing after its 1st freezing night on mars with temperatures dipping below 90 degrees celsius. serving as

a communications base the perseverance rover will pass on instructions from earth to engineer woody. only then can the tiny chopper begin its 1st test flight on a planet where gravity is so low everything feels about 3 times longer than on earth and the 1st $31.00 days ingenuity plans to make 5 autonomous flights after each trip it will transmit the data it's collected to the perseverance rover which beams it back to earth and mere hours scientists hope ingenuity will mark the beginning of a new chapter in mars exploration as it can go where rovers can't and see things invisible to space probes. on mars which is especially interesting if you want to set up a base there and if the caves are deep enough it may mean the air pressure is higher which in turn means the caves might be able to stable bodies of liquid water

. scientists hope that in the near future ingenuity successors able to go a step further and explore these mysterious capes or other hard to reach areas such as mountains or canyons thanks to ingenuity we're closer than ever to unlocking new and exciting secrets of our mysterious planetary neighbor. promised earlier germany. reignited hopes of a top 4 finish with. 4 points of the champions league qualification spot. following that champions league exit in midweek don't mean strode out in a special retro shirt helping to draw inspiration from their mid ninety's glory days but braman. brought them back to reality less than a quarter of an hour in a stunning pass from maximillian eg

a stein set the winner up for only his 2nd of the season. after nearly leaving in the summer russia has enjoyed an injury blighted campaign but he's finding his form in the run in he's now schooled on back to back match status however and rallied to just before the hawke alomar gio raina smashed in a bell to a level the schools that sheltered his teammates into action. captain marco voice cleverly won a penalty just minutes later on hold and was on hand to score from the shots to make it to warm the tights and turned. then hall and had a healthy potion of luck topping in the back post for his 21st gold in $23.00 appearances the hosts had hit 3 in 9 minutes to take a comfortable lead into half time after that early scare. after the break the 2

sides traded chances before dortmund finally added a 4th goal 30 minutes from time. months holes with a towering header which try as they might bring in couldn't clear off the line they fold to their 5th consecutive loss meaning they're still not quite safe from relegation while dog can continue to dream of qualifying for next season's champions league. well let's take a look now at the table with just 5 games left in the season leipzig stroll byron to stretch their lead to 7 points dortmund shorten the gap on frankfurt in the race for champions league qualification at the bottom shelf are all but relegated after another heavy defeat and cologne are likewise running out of games to climb out of the drop zone. but you're watching d.w. news up next is a documentary on the historical contest between gothic cathedrals and don't forget

you can keep up to date on all the latest news on our social media channels and the v.w. talk com website on top of yes my colleague terry martin takes over in the next fall i think for me and the rest of the team here take care and see very soon. 186. it's their story their very own personal trauma. the people who survived the catastrophe and remember. and they share private footage with us that has never been seen before. back to churn old starts april 28th on t.w. .

sometimes not much is needed to change history. sometimes all it takes is one idea and a person who runs with it. the abbot of sound in the monastery near paris was such a person 9 centuries ago he boldly implemented new architectural concepts that were already in the air. abbots to share let in the light colored light. romanesque builders had occasionally experimented with such innovations but sushi air incorporated them into the rebuilding of his abbey church to create a total work of art. like. pointed arches and rigged. valls. these were architectural elements already known in romanesque times but now they

were finer and more trends loosened than ever before. let there be light that is the message that this church broadcasts it spurred the start of an era in which architects vied to build ever higher and more light filled cathedrals the gothic. and. the desire for more light in a church interior is one thing making it technically possible is another for the thick walls to be replaced by thin windows the weight of the building had to be distributed outward on the columns and vaulted arches the structural shell became a skeleton. and glass was needed glass that could be melted and colored using a new technique that may have reached western europe from the middle east in the

10th century. soon the stained glass fragments were joined with strips of lead to compose symphonies of color. in the summer of $1144.00 the abbey church of songs and he set off an architectural revolution across france . in the following century more than 20 major got the churches or rows in the region around paris. it became a contest to build the highest and most beautiful churches. within

a generation this development had gathered momentum still further afield stross books cathedral was changed over to the gothic style in the 1st half of the 13th century artistic influences from across europe came together in this case. it was only much later that this pride of the alsace became a nationalist bone of contention between france and germany. german or french was not an issue more than 700 years ago when everyone from. master builder from bodman out did all previous interiors with this rose window. of course all this splendor was for the glory of god but these achievements also fired up the competition among architects and artists to create more masterpieces.

the so-called angels pillar. it's a depiction of judgment day the sculptures are comparable proof of the gothic artist's desire to make hard stone appear supple. is there a limit to what artists can achieve in this endeavor. hj. the new self-assurance of the gothic gazes down from the gallery. the master builder put himself in the artwork on the lookout from above for the latest architectural marvels. one marvel took place at the start of the construction the facade was envelop in a curtain of delicate stone work the famous harp stringed tracery with its mighty

rose window 60 years later to tower levels were built a central story made the construction more imposing but more clunky its heaviness was relieved by a tower extending almost crazily toward heaven. the former stone masons lodge now a museum contains a collection of what made this building a champion of the gothic. the building plans of the ingenious architects. course the smokes look here in the greatest jewel of this collection is the oldest plant of a strasbourg cathedral of park i mean that fire on parchment it's an initial design for the rebuilding of the west facade with hope the central portal and the large rose window was already in place. and here we also have the tracery and gables

i've identified tough it's a fantastic architectural drawing cool but unfortunately i don't know who made it and. the names of most of the 1st architects who worked on the cathedral are unknown today but they were the ones who optimized the gothic principle of skeletal construction it comprised elements such as the open timber roof truss to reduce the load of the roof. the flying buttresses that gave lateral support to the navy. and the revolvers that gave the isles their sense of lightness . and the ingenious wooden constructions that enabled the masonry of the rounded arches and domes but which devoured entire forests. behind all this decorative design is the gothic principle of thrust and counterbalance which the competition among the

architects reduced to its essential so. they were driven by the idea of converting the fixed don't space into a shrine of glass. the sheer radicality of the way erivan from spun his ever finer web of stone marked a new high point in the contest of gothic architecture. old boy. we don't know how evan functioned but really looked this sculpture made long after his time shows him with raised index finger. it's a finger that is less didactic than thoughtful ready to suddenly point out a tiny detail. was.

after all building a gothic cathedral also involves attention to the smallest things how many hammer blows went into the 142 meter tall straw spore cathedral. it must have been like a goldsmith a tell he crossed with a major construction site demanding not only the master builders love of detail but the ability to keep track of the overall structural engineering and. the way to slow the. foot in evans time the science of architectural construction was not yet developed experimentation was his constant companion. he drew on the experience his masons brought with them from building sites across europe and these

ideas flowed into the great plaster or clay panels where the building plans were drawn. when evan began the rebuilding of the west work the west facing introns in $1277.00 the ground level of the building was already standing. over the next 40 years he was able to complete the next level which culminated in the breathtaking rose window. it was a symphony of light and illustration of god's love radiating to all sides a hint of paradise where earthly things dissolve in a mystical color space. could

this grandiose idea be taken still further some 80 kilometers up river from strasbourg in fribourg evan funch realized and even bolder vision a very special church spire the translation of his rose window into 3 dimensions. haven't left a great legacy to the workers of the masons lauch the workshop of the 5 augments are a great legacy in need of great care. every year the stone masons have to climb up the tower to ensure that none of the crumbling stone fragments land on the market on minster square from a height of more than 100 meters. just .

a gothic cathedral is essentially a mountain of sandstone and like every other rocky crags it is eaten away by erosion the more gothic it is the more delicate its details. but the more delicate the more vulnerable. cathedrals like the fribourg minster are never ending construction sites the most recent renovation of the tower and undertaking that masted 12 years hasn't relieved the stonemasons from regularly inspecting every centimeter of the structure. crumbling fragments are removed by hand. while larger damaged areas are secured with wire mesh until the next overhaul. which is certain to come . this 1st tracery spire in history will remain in the

hands of stone masons for eternity. what creative daring must have driven architect evan french to design a roof. for this tower a roof made of stone but full of homes. a

gothic marvel took around 300 years to build. and something distinguished it from the other places of worship the fly boatmen stone never belonged to the catholic church it was commissioned by an aristocratic family as a sign of its power and influence. soon after it belonged to the people of the city. the radiating chapels in the apps were funded as was common in the late gothic period by the sale of indulgences. these kinds of richly

appointed family chapels sometimes reached a level of extravagance as families vied to outdo each other. or at. in the late gothic ceiling the rib vaulting was not only used in the traditional. to support the roof but additionally added as purely decorative diagonal ribs which grew together in wildly branching patterns. the i would like. their told the 5th the last duke of telling in who had commissioned the rebuilding of the church 300 years earlier as a prestigious burial site had had very different ideas. he was a pious knight who still viewed the church as a center of royal or clerical power but his heirs ran out of money for the upkeep

of the project. around $1300.00 the citizens of 5 borg took over the administration of the church they founded a minster factory an association which financed the building work its members were obliged to give it the shirt off their backs literally on a diet they'd pick waved their best piece of clothing to fund the building work. now the church windows did not only feature stories of the bible but bore the symbols of the guilds that were the financial backers the smiths the tailors the shoemaker's the coopers and the bakers. and they celebrated a line of business that was making fibroid richer than ever silver mining. in the competition of the cathedrals the flyball of minster was in the lead with what was at the time the highest building. a and

a community spirit was reflected in the humorous depiction of the birth of christ. here in the manger the ox is trying to eat the infant jesus is diaper but joseph intervenes with his staff. today the floor of the minster has been paved with solid stone tiles but that was not always the case those who could afford it sought to be buried under the floor not only to be close to the saints but also to remain even in death a part of the citizens community assembled here. as late as the 17th century a visitor complained that in the minster one trips over hundreds of 2 stops. as a true citizens church it also provided practical services for the living it told time

for example and the units of measure engraved on the outer wall let buyers at the market check that the prices of the goods were fair but the price of grain varied enormously in the year 1270 customers could get a plump loaf of bread in the great famine of $1317.00 they were lucky to get a scanty roll for the money. this fits and beyond that is to really pleasing the 14th century was a time of serious crises above all the great plague catastrophe that's it no not even but even earlier in the 1st half of the 14th century we see famine house floods failed harvests shortages cost him both india and still almost at the same time we see a new form a depiction of reality a pool of nature and being. and the quickest think of the grotesque gargoyles but also the whimsical architectural details in the today almost seem ironic in the

olney on.

the east. in times of crisis many certainties are called into question in strasbourg to the balance of power was shifting the emerging middle class had already rebelled against the all powerful mission. as a result not only judgement day and the saints adorn the entrance of the cathedral but also the statue of a controversial. politician count who'd off of hoppes book once excommunicated by the pope as an enemy of the church and later king of germany in the holy roman empire or to have sided with the citizens of strasbourg to rid the city of their unpopular bishop. from then on the minster architect was no longer accountable to the clergy but to free me elected city councillors. they would have to be convinced that the minster would be a pristine object symbolizing the might of their city.

but the city councillors were not necessarily the arbiters of artistic taste instead of continuing to construct the 2 planned towers they decided on a central section to contain the bells it went up in just 5 years and transform the facade into a rectangular box. imposing yes but also clunky and a distraction from evan's beautiful rose window soon cause grew loud to beautified this block with special towers but was it possible to find competent builders on short notice. the municipal archive in holds a special piece of evidence that may answer that question. and accosting up with

a name has spent 6 years studying the medieval account books of the all minster it's a treasure trove of information about the movements of builders at the time. if you don't it tells us where the stone masons came from here is how the place from door last paid 15 shillings hands from being who also gets 15 shillings the comms we have one from brandenburg from the vin hausen from canton and in the course of this week 2 stone masons immigrate from style or color had fun style and thomas. get 5 shillings in high. enchain arms. these are no porpoise they were taken on for a week by all the workshops they would always have an opportunity to work for a week or at least until the next pay out in the next. and around a quarter of the stonemasons were wandering journeyman's and they'd stay at the

building site for just a week or 2 and then move on to the next building site and the next day live out of . the analysis of the account books the daily schedules and hiring contracts from the 15th century helps to decipher the network their connected the gothic cathedral workshops by compiling the names of the artisans it is possible to reconstruct the workers' movements and the phases of the construction one document in particular proves how closely connected these medieval church building specialists were. and at every stick planted this is one of the most important building plans we have because it tells us a great deal about the masons largest in the middle ages on the one side we have the tower on the cathedral with the per middle tower with the many steps and and all the other side written in the same hand we have to plan for the tower of the oil minster and what that means that they knew precisely what was going on in other

workshops where designs were being developed there and they share this information the towns were competing for the most famous master builders but the architects communicated amongst themselves and shared their knowledge of the host. the 2 sided plan is proof that gothic builders had several irons in the fire and worked simultaneously on different sites spurred on by the city's appetite for these prestigious projects. the builders in strasbourg had heard that the wealthy textile exploiting city of rome was. planning a church with a gigantic tower that was exactly what they wanted to aspire to turn the blocky front into a thing of beauty. a messenger was dispatched to on. was

. there was only one contemporary depiction of the man known to history as an inspired master builder of towers the sculpture of the architect overage and singer eroded by time shows him gazing upward to where his spires grew up into the sky. was. so rich design the towers in strasbourg and all but he was never to see them completed. a precious document in the central library shows the ambitious planning that went into the project in the up and coming city. it's a 15th century chronicle of the city written by a dominican monk named felix fabry.

for police candid account of what happened in allman the late middle ages includes major events but also plenty of gossip. one event particularly fascinated him the laying of the cornerstone of the oem minster. the start of the construction work was quite unusual fabric wrote. the citizens build their church as he put it without the support of the clergy and nobility. it was a daring undertaking. not churchmen but city councilman climbed into the building pit to lay the foundation. what courage what optimism. fabry names 1377 as the start of construction and praises the boldness of the oem

citizens who had grown rich through the textile train. did not know that it would take another 513 years for the building to shine in all its splendor. today the oh minister is still the tallest church in the world. push for centuries his glory was neglected because soon after its completion in the 16th century home became protestant and the lutheran preachers did not appreciate such soaring spaces for their somber sermons. martin luther visited home and called the minster gigantic but quite impractical gothic was out.

and status symbols like the precious glass windows the best arar's a merchant family had placed in their chapel which against the tastes of the a conic lastic protestants as did presumably the gothic humor of this depiction of mary and st peter. to peter is wearing spectacles. for when the travails of the master builder were commemorated by showing him kneeling under the weight of his work he. installs borg oldish and sing out was working in parallel on his 2nd tower project an exclusive 8 sided north tower with the help of novel cranes he wanted to raise

the minister to 140 metres in height. in the 20 years until his death he was to achieve half of the 80 meters that were still planned. but his plan gave reality to a special construction it was one of the most ingenious designs of the entire gothic period. the star architect did manage to complete his 4 slender towers containing the stairways but when oen wish died in 1419 his work stood like a hollow tooth luckily the gothic style was still all the rage until the mid 15th century and stross book was determined to finish its prestige project so by

1439 the highest church tower at the time reached a height of 142 meters. or an. my. when things are too perfect people sometimes lose interest in them and by the end of the 15th century the public had seen too much of the ever more finely carved stone. the pulpit in strasbourg made by master builder hans hammer can perhaps be seen as both the high point of and farewell to 300 years of gothic architecture. but what the builders created we inherit and inheriting is not always easy and heritance is also

a mission. when in the 9th. century these pillars began to sink under the weight of an singer's tower it was clear that a cathedral of this size is never finished. just last book is a draw museum the former masons lodge has a book of photos that document a nearly 20 year long battle to preserve the minster this is a family portrait with johann later celebrated as the savior of the minster. can out a native of cologne and his team succeeded in an engineering feat without which. would probably not be standing today. the problem was the pillar and its foundation that was too weak.

it was not only sinking but leaning to one side and threatening to collapse and crash through the name. developed a bold plan to envelop the pillar in reinforced concrete. this meters thick mental was to be based on a foundation ring cast out of pressure resistant reinforced concrete so the ground under the pillar had to be dug up and replaced by a concrete base. using hydraulic presses it would be possible to raise the pillar again the hydraulic press acting laterally would correct the twist to the left it was all a question of mathematics and engineering science at the start of the 20th century . here. look at these amazing photos from 922 of the incredible reinforcement. 7 meters of this

giant pillar its sheath in a reinforced concrete course it was that. this was the biggest restoration measure carried out of ball cathedral and it contributed significantly toward securing the cathedral tower and the entire building. they worked directly beneath the pillar under a weight of 10 and a half 1000 tons. and then came the moment when the concrete course it had to be removed again. sandstone is softer than reinforced concrete and very sensitive.

in october 1926 the rescue of the minster was celebrated with a lot of fanfare. but you know one count was not present as a german he had been expelled from what was now france. hey cathedral architects work is never done in oem underlays boom is in charge of a project to repair or replace damage stones there are $4500.00 of them marked in blue or yellow on the diagram. in the case of the own minister the stonemasons needed a century to carry out a thorough renovation and once that was over the next 100 years began and that is the way it's always been. they have to do for now from 1st and that's why north

east i found a book from 141-0021 person wrote my mother once on a sunday or de people were at the nearing service when 2 studies fell down from the vaulted ceiling the minister started to think we were scared it would fall over. probably maybe the problems are the same as today. the. stones don't fall from the ceiling nowadays. but to ensure that it stays that way even the tiniest cracks in the building have to be regularly monitored.

and they as burned does that with this canon like device. with a laser he pinpoints the often in excessively high cracks and with a telescope he can recognize whether and when the walls might break apart. it's ok i've got it. now it's sharp. this crack has in fact shrunk by 3 millimeters. you know there are hardly any changes compared to last year. we're looking at about a 10th so that's ok. that's a relief the table of measurements goes back to the 19th century a time at which investigations turned up quite different values. in the

850 s. irreverent caricature has appeared poking fun at the half finished and dilapidated state of the building. the tower was not even 100 meters tall but it was dangerously shaky the well behaved passers by slink by in silence the police caution those who speak on a bully a sign warns talking loudly on minster square is forbidden. it seems the risk was so high that loud conversation or laughter could cause the beautiful gothic structure to tumble down. 170 year old photographs reveal the truly pitiful state of this super building which had hardly been worked on since luther's time. but now in the mid 1900 century it was time to rescue the minsters as in stross book buttresses in the original style were added to stabilize the shaky walls of the navy. and the

east towers planned and singer's time were finally erected. and at the entrance soon a super tower rose high one which might have pleased old rich and senior to nohant . a group photo with the capstone which seen up close is truly impressive. so around 1900 the minster envisioned by the citizens of ome 500 years earlier was finally completed for the moment. it soon became clear that the world's new tallest church tower was so heavy that it

destabilized the entire building. a rescue plan was needed. and it can be seen down here. at the end of a basement chaffed. the heart of steel that holds it all together. i mean our farm and all these 14 crops still pieces were derived from experiences in building mines to retrofit the tower still parts were heated to 380 degrees celsius and then these clamps were tightened and as a cooled the steel was pulled together. and live and all 14 still parts exerted tensile force of

a 1000 tons to hold the minster tower together and stabilize the entire building. this concept. did the architects 6 centuries ago building ever higher believe their cathedrals would last this long. their faith in god clearly led them to presume they would succeed. and they were right. danielle wagner and andre young are natives of own and their church is still the highest in the world. to celebrate that superglue tive they thought up a special trip they plan to fly a camera drone to capture the beauty of the minster in a single take. a shot so i'd say let's take it over ministers where you can

slowly up the minster towards the flying buttresses soon and then through it as you know it i would yes and i go relatively 2223 meters through. and then go down through the buttresses and then emerge again with these buttresses we are around 20 to 25 meters would he and then here all the way up to 86 and then circle around as you mean up to the topic of yes once around the outside let's go super. as it were for have a good flight. mum
