ah, ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. nasa postpones the launch of its powerful new moon rocket off to unexpected problems. our team, this one would eventually return human kind to the moon for the 1st time in 50 years. also coming up a team from the u. n. so that has finally been given permission to visit ukraine's

reach at nuclear plants. well, power of one of the dangers of a nuclear calamity. as the tax there are wrapped up and our reports had traveled to the front line region of east and ukraine to see how local resident getting on with their lives despite the dangers of the world. plus it is the end of an era, the us open with super stuff. serena williams set to play the final tournament of her storied career bath and much more coming up in school. ah, i'm on your hips. mckennan. thanks so much for joining us. it is a disappointing stop for nasa's multi $1000000000.00 t miss luna mission the u. s. space agency has had to cancel today's moon rocket launch due to technical issues. now this is the scene at cape canaveral in florida

where the rockets and it's unmanned cats. you are still sitting on the launch pad left off has been put on hold because of a temperature issue with one of the 4 engines earlier, fueling was paused when a potential leak was detected and the weather has also been an issue with thunderstorms causing delays. so another slots now has to be found for the launch of the r t miss test flight. and nasa's most ambitious mood mission in half a century nasa hopes this rocket will mark the start of a new era venturing deeper into space. returning to the moon and traveling to near earth asteroids, the u. s. built space launch system will get its 1st fully extraterrestrial test. europe is responsible for the service module for the iranian space ship. the module will supply the astronauts capsule with air, power, and propulsion. until now,

nasa has only developed such mission critical components in the us. the new rocket must be capable of handling crude missions. so dummies have been used during testing. the figure is measure exposure to lunar radiation and the effectiveness of space suits once in low orbit. the upper stage should set a ryan on course for the moon. some 4 days after launch or ryan should reach the moon. the european service module will fire its engine several times to set the space ship into orbit to data. 02134 over

a ryan should then circle the moon for 6 days in an elliptical orbit. 20 days from launch. the spaceship will again fire its engines to return to earth. first facing the challenge of re entry into the atmosphere at 40000 kilometers an hour. the heat shield will have to withstand temperatures of $2400.00 degrees celsius. parachutes will open at 7 kilometers above the earth's surface to slow the capsule for a controlled splash down. if all goes to plan the 1st astronauts will soon be taking off destination moon. the 3 americans and one canadian will circle the earth satellite just like the crew of the apollo 8 in december, 1968 and the scheduled date for their historic mission. the summer of

2023 and from all we can speak to life. den thing, the director of operations at the european space agency and he joins us from dumped out in germany. welcome to the w. now the build up to launch hasn't quite gone to plan. how common is a delay, a cancellation like this? well, this. com consider that a lot will have to work at the same time, so conflicts and stuff like this can happen. so let's hope that on the big launch date, which are to be the 2nd of september to speak friday. that's hope things are better . that's hope at the end of this favorable, and it's hope it glitched it was up to date, can be, can be fixed until then. and this is now subject to investigation posts from

investigations that have to be done, and what is the extent of them issue, etc. etc, and then i suppose a mouse launched. ok now when it does eventually happen, hopefully this test flight will take 6 weeks. what will happen on that flight in those, in that time? well, this is a test, a human machine to remove it. so now i am a before as a human rights its mission on so far for a long with us. so all the wrong couple of times. so life support systems will be only tested so to make sure that it's fit for you and also the flight. so all the

details will be on the test it also along with the machine, and they'll be a couple of small satellites. there's all kinds of central us and so on. i will try to move to an s charts. so if there isn't a writing complement mission design, and i would imagine what i believe mission of launch date yet to all day. and this is because they want to land during the daytime on earth, and they don't want to live anywhere they want to them. off the coast of cali, california put the right time constraints on the road. it's just an extraordinary

complexity. can i ask you not there is saying that the moon is a stepping stone, a testing ground for a mission to mod. can you explain to us, why is the moon so crucial in preparing for an eventual mission to mars? i guess you have a lot of experience in the international space station lane, humans in space and the longer so the next level of complexity with the typical 50 some years ago. and so we'd love to get it to fly to and fly to the miles totally different story. it's a month to get there. and so that's also consider moving is always close to us. it's always gonna say on average, mass is much farther away and,

and tomorrow to begin this you can only launch a yes. so, and this is the off the relative constellation between earth and muscle mass in the worst case scenario and beyond, you know, on the other side of the sun. so it's very, very far away. and then the installation. moss and i'm very close to putting the mutations on demos to mosque and therefore i think that will be done applies to i think i'll just move 1st overall if then thing we'll have to leave it badly then think director operations at the european space agency. thanks so much for speaking with us. now, experts from the international atomic energy agency on the way to ukraine's chaper region nuclear power plant, which has been captured by russian forces. i

h e. a. had raphael grossi says the team will visit the plant later this week. now that's as concern grows. oh, the security at the site. russia and ukraine are accusing each other of artillery strikes in the vicinity. the attacks of fueling fears of a catastrophic radiation lake official se radiation levels are still normal, but people living in the area are preparing for the worst people are queueing up in towns, meals up. what is your power plant for this green tablet? if i o dean and could help protect them against a radioactive leak pillow issue, we were told them adults should take one tablet. i have a child, they should take half a tablet, a computer with google. and they've been worried about a nuclear disaster, some folio the feel of ross soon after russia invaded ukraine, a book of polish. we brought up the false diamond window when the plant

was shown the 4th time with emergency workers, a training for the worst moving victims who have been exposed to a radioactive cloud, cleaning them and testing levels of radiation on each other. does apple res? yup. i will plant as europe's largest nuclear facility, ukrainian workers have continued to run it throughout the war, but it's occupied by russian forces. but you currencies compromises safety with with, if you could come by and for. there's lots of heavy equipment. anthony pansy, country combat vehicles, trucks omelet and tanks, all sudden it divine. the worst of all, that in the last weeks they put this equipment near the power units. number one, and number 2 in the middle of off official lead means there are now like mines out of the norm of russia and ukraine. blame each other for shelling around the

facility. as the power plant stands exposed, i spoke to d. w as young phillips i it says in keith earlier and i asked him for more about the you ends pending visit to the jeffery shop plant. yeah, the international inspectors are already on their way to ukraine and they will probably arrive at the plant in the 2nd half of the week. their mission is to assess the damage at the plant, but they also want to check all the security systems in place. and they also want to see the general conditions of the workers there. most expert sir saw such a trip to be imminent, especially after president putin gave up his a position to the plan that the inspectors travelled through non occupied ukrainian territory and to the inspector us. i definitely highly welcome here in ukraine. a lot of people still have a fiercer regarding a possible nuclear disaster. we have received many reports of renewed fighting in

the area. local officials say 10 people were wounded last night and they have been renewed. how are alicia? just to now we're hearing contradictory accounts from ukraine and rusher. about what's going on at the jeffery had planned or accusing one another of shelling the area. is there any way to verify what's actually happening there? there is no way for international a report has to directly travel to the side. so we cannot verify any claim, sir. first hand at the moment. but we have been able to talk to many employees there. and we have also been able to talk to the town mayor of the town where the nuclear power plant is located. and at the same time we have the history of russia's disinformation campaigns, disinformation that is easily 2, it's easy to, to falsify. so yes, we can say with almost 100 percent certainty that russia is using, besides

a minute for military purposes. and as that they have been fall flag attacks by russia in the past. but at the same time, it's also very, very likely that ukrainian troops have attacked the plant several times in the past weeks. and also the mayor when we asked him about this, did not deny that there was also fighting a wrong plant caused by ukrainian troops. confusing situation. young philip shall. it's in key. thank you so much. now in the last few days, young philip fights travels to one of the front line regions of the war in east, in ukraine, where russia's territorial gains have been limited. he met with ukrainians trying to get home with their lives there, despite the ongoing danger of war. we are on the road and is done ukraine. 20 kilometers from the front line in the last small town before the combat zone. signs of war are all
