ah ah ah ah, this is deed of the news live from berlin. another said back for now says moon rockets, the space agencies launch team councils. a 2nd attempt to add lift off fighting technical reasons. we'll find out why matters are to miss road. mission keeps getting held up on the paragraph. russia bids farewell to mikhail gorbachev. crowds

lined up in moscow to see the last leader of the soviet union laid to rest. and by and i held to a drawer for the 2nd straight, pointless leader weekend. this time by union. good and all that and much more coming up later in sports. ah, i'm really mohammed, welcome to the program. nasa has called off it's moon rocket launch is the 2nd time this week, the launch has been postponed. technicians were unable to fix a fuel leak. the rocket was due to take to the skies from the kennedy space center in florida within hours. the next generation craft is the most powerful ever built by nasa. it was set to be the 1st launch for the agencies are to miss program which aims to eventually return a human crew to the moon. earlier i spoke to keith cowling,

the editor of space ref dot com. now asked him if the recurring problems with liquid hydrogen fueling are typical for this type of you rocket. mrs. rockets, i, it's probably in the 4th page of the book that says fueling is a difficult thing, and hydrogen is particularly difficult to work with. it's the 1st time this rock it's ever been put on a pad in tried to launch, so you'd expect this was matter fact if you look at the bottom of it, it looks like the spatial because it's where it got its engines from and the space shuttle had similar problem, so this is to be expected the 1st few times and all the shows just how risky and talon zagan operation. this really is. why is it so important to go back to the moon off to 50? is not the last 3 words. after 50 years. i was, i'm old enough to remember what had happened and at the time it was extremely important and pretty much everybody was alive watched it. now if you look at how

many people are in the world more than happy humanities, never see a human walk on the world. so for your hot people, this is their 1st moonlight, but more importantly we went urban. we did this in the sixty's, it was a geopolitical thing between american soviet union. now this rocket, it has a european upper stage and when he goes back to the moon, some of the 1st dash knots will be from europe, from canada, from your japan. so this is now an international endeavor, not just one country versus another. and i think that's very important. and what sort of results says as this mission looking to find on the moon. this isn't, this really is a test mission. they're going to try everything. it's like a 5 or 6 week long trip around the moon and they'll do some different orbits for very close. we're going to test all the cameras, the sensors, the computers, the life support systems such that they know that the next time make why this, that it's safe to do so with humans on board. now when we're looking at the issue

of technology and how advanced it's being now, how things have progressed since apollo, what makes this mission different to what happened previously? well again, back in the sixty's, we did things sort of in a race that really was a race. and the these, the idea of risk and safety was a bit different than, than it is now. but interestingly now, while this rocket looks brand new, it's actually reflecting stuffed, it's 20 or 30 years old. simultaneously, just a few 100 miles to the west space x is bowling, its own giant rocket. and a version of that will actually be what the ottoman spacecraft docs width delayed on the moon. so are on a hinge. and yesterday, between the old way of doing these were the government space agency. you're dictates everything to where the private sector to build a spacecraft that you can rent. so what are the, the challenges that the enters the at the at and, and as a facing today? well, it's pretty simple. it's gotta you, it may connect,

the kind of looks like this and when you get it very, very cold for liquid hydrogen, sometimes the seal doesn't work quite right. so they tried all kinds of tricks. now they're going to go to the launch pad in, unscrew it and see what your does doesn't work and hopefully they'll get it just right. so that the next sunday attempts, we said this very coal, liquid hydrogen through that it won't leak. and then they can go ahead and do the watch and just very quick, i took us for some of the, the interesting equipment that was meant to be used on board. to me as a space biologist, there's 3 americans inside the capsule at your home, europe, one from america, and they're all instrumented so that you can see the effect spawn microgravity radiation. what not on something that looks like it works like a human so that when we fly, people in there will have a good idea of what's going on. but there's also chipsets, little satellites that will be launched in a number of other instruments putting cameras and radiation devices. so this is jam packed with a lot of stuff. and again, it's gonna be going around the moon for up to 6 weeks. so

a lot of data will be returned. i want a full cost sao and then it coming weeks and coming months. well, i will see what they do this weekend. it's a holiday. we can hear the states, they may just decide to point. if they have to roll this, so watch vehicle back to the the, the, the big hanger, the vehicle assembly building that will probably delay the launch another 3 or 4 weeks. so we, we may well be looking at a watch it early october, but we'll see what happens in the next few days. i can keep calling editor of space with dot com. thank you very much indeed for your time. how the la theda of the soviet union mikhail gorbachev has been laid to rest in moscow. gorbachev died on tuesday at the age of 91. after a long illness crowns lined up to see the former president lying in state. but gorbachev was not given the kind of funeral usually held full full manidez ah, saying good bye to one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century. the man

who bought the cold war to an end was not given a state funeral. in fact, the ceremony was more notable for its absences. president vladimir putin, too busy to attend on western leaders, didn't travel to russia as moscow's invasion of ukraine has solid relations. the last soviet leader was given an honorary god. his daughter, grandchildren looked on as a relatively modest funeral, went ahead moscow's nobody. beachy cemetery. a place where many prominent russians lie buried earlier, thousands of ordinary musk of i, it's queued up to pay their last respects at the pillar hall where gorbachev's open casket was put on display. the whole normally serves as a venue for state funerals, hungarian prime minister victor alba, and also attended the only european leader to do so. so many well wishes turned up

. the ceremony had to be extended by another 2 hours. while gorbachev was revered as a hero in the west, many and russia blamed him for allowing the soviet union to collapse. and for the economic turmoil that followed. but most here to day spoke well of him up with customer, he made an attempt to build our world in a different way. maybe not a very successful attempt, but he tried to follow up with also that not be tried to give us freedom, but we slept through it. we didn't manage to keep it. it's sad that we have so few of his carried off, but give me the model as gorbachev is laid to rest, the old cold war divisions that he brought to an end are rapidly returning the phrase voiced here by many what is that at the end of an era ah, now sports and football, whereby and munich have failed to win for the 2nd weekend in

a row. the bonus league a chance were held 11 at union berlin, who are swiftly becoming one of german footballs new forces. mooney on berlin's entire squad is worth 90000000 euros. that's not even enough to buy you 3 satyr monet's, but by ins. opponents in berlin showed them much more than a sum of their hearts as they went ahead on 12 minutes. geraldo becca, getting on the end of christopher trembles, hitch, perfect, free kick, becker cost any or nothing when he signed for them 3 years ago. but he's currently the bernice legal joint top scorer. this was goal number 5, the season. ah, the host, joy didn't last though. 3 minutes later use your chemist was on hand to fire through a crowd of players. union can clear and kemesha made them pay. but

that was to be it for the scoring union nearly took another unlikely lead on 75 minutes with our man while noir in the way before his opposite. number, frederic renaud denied manet in stoppage time. one all the final score by and drop for the secondly game in a row. and while union have never beaten the variance, this result means that undefeated in 12 bernice league matches since march. now that's value for money. and in another clash fiber got the better of lever cousin to move to the top of the button to sleeker. for only the 2nd time ever japanese midfield that richie de one grabbed the winner in a 3 to victory for the visitors. liverpool and have one just once so father and enter the champions league on wednesday. let us take

she entered the arena like a prize fighter and it wouldn't take long for her to realize that a fight was exactly what she was going to get. ah, my little nan, which was clearly not interested in fairy tales. she took the 1st set with a heavy blow and forced williams to do what she had done so often fight back. the 2nd set was vintage williams. as the american conjured a moment to savor, as she said about leveling the match. all the qualities that and made her 23 time grand slam champion were on display. there was the power, the determination. and eventually the precision she brought a most brokers crowd to its feet, but it was to be one last stand. the 40 rod had

been racing her body to equal the grand slam record of 24 titles. but in the 3rd set and the 3rd hour of the match, it soon became clear that time had finally caught up takes a lot of work to get here. clearly i'm still capable, but it also it takes a lot more than i am really like via mom and explore different version of santa ah, and technically in the world i'm still super young, so i well i like have a little bit of a life. i'm still walking i just re say she has the 2nd best grand slam breaker behind margaret court, but many in new york and all around the world will argue she is simply the best. oh,
