ah no special look at a special country loan from above. start september 16th on d, w. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, this is the w news live from berlin. another said back for now says moon rocket, the space agencies launch team councils. a 2nd attempt to left off citing technical reasons. we'll find out why nasa's artemus moon mission keeps getting held up. also in the program,

russia bids farewell to mikhail gorbachev. crowds lined up in moscow to see the loss leader of the soviet union laid to rest. 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 league. the rocket was due to take to the skies from the kennedy space center in florida within hours. the next generation croft is the most powerful ever built by nasa. it was said to be the 1st launch for the agencies artemus program, which aims to eventually return a human crew to the moon. a year i spent 2 keith calling the editor of space ref dot com. now asked him if the recurring problems with liquid hydrogen fueling are

typically for this type of you rocket. mrs. rockets, i, it's probably on 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 and tried to launch. so you'd expect this was matter of 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 the european upper stage and when he goes back to the mood, 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. they're going to test all the cameras, the sensors, the computers, the wife's support systems such that they know that the next time they fly this, that is safe to do so with humans on board. now when we looking at the issue of technology and how advanced it's been, now how things have progressed since apollo?

what makes this mission different to what happened previously? well, again, be back in the sixty's. we did things sort of erase it, really was a race and the these, the idea of risk unsafe seems a bit different than, than it is now. but interestingly now, while this rocket looks brand new, it's actually reflecting, stuffed as 20 or 30 years old. simultaneously, just a few 100 miles to the west space x is building its own giant walk it in a version of that will actually be what the ottoman spacecraft docs with delayed on the moon. so or, and a hinge in history between the old way of doing these with a government space agency, when you're dictates everything to where the private sector to build a spacecraft that you can rent. so what are the challenges that the end is the at the, at, and in as a facing today? well, it's pretty simple. it's gotta you, it may connect to 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. it 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 launch and just very quick, i took us through some of the, the interesting equipment that was meant to be used on board to me as a space biologist, there's 3 mannequins inside the capsule. and to whom you are born from america and they're all instrumented so that you can see the effects fall 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 can 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, 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 launch 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. and the noth, lita of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev has been laid to rest in moscow. coverage have died on tuesday at the age of 91. after a long illness, crowds lined up to see him lying in state, but he was not given. the kind of funeral usually held 4 fulman leda's. 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 stay 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. her solid relations, the last soviet leader was given an honory 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 ites 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 today spoke while of him up with co boston. he made an attempt to build our world in a different way, maybe not a very successful attempt, but he tried to law, but also, but 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 courage, but if we do 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 all right, sir william tobin spent a lot of time with mikhail gorbachev and wrote an extensive biography of him. he explains why there was such a stock difference between how gerber 12 was viewed in the west and in the former soviet union. while he stood for what he actually did not want to call western

values, he wanted to call them universal values, freedom, democracy, piece up. and that's why the west appreciated what he did. on the other hand, russians experienced the troubles that his reforms lead to in their own lives on their own skin. that is, the economy got worse. instead of better, the country became polarized on nationalism and ethnic separatism exploded, tearing apart the union itself. so i understand that a lot of st. russian people, soviet people felt that he had failed them. on the other hand, i wish i wish that in retrospect, they would understand that if he had not tried their lives, would probably be even worse. well, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. in pakistan,

the humanitarian crisis is getting worse off to weeks of monsoon. rain and flooding . areas in the south are under threat as water surges from rivers in the north. more than 1200 people have been killed and not parts of pakistan remains under water. gas from has shut down, gas applies to germany indefinitely. the russian energy company says the north stream one pipeline will stay offline blaming maintenance, european e to say that's a force calling this an extension of russia's war in ukraine. showing through as nuclear watchdog says, the main electricity line to these upper region nuclear power plant has been disconnected. but the facility is still receiving power through a backup system. inspectors from the i e. r at the site in southern ukraine, which is now controlled by russian forces. k 41 was one of the hottest night spots in ukraine. the techno club and keep host

a d j's from all over the world before the russian invasion, temporarily closed its doors. now 6 months later, k 41 has reopened outdoors. she doubly is yan full of shoals, was there to witness its rebuff. a it's mellow at k $42.00. 1 is soft free birth of the famous key f club. they put on parties in the garden for a few weeks now. the 1st green shoed of a normal life abruptly halted by russian rockets 6 months ago. and despite the relief of being a new group at a party, there's a certain ambiguities. everyone knows that the war is continuing from moral side. i still don't know if they allow, have, have been hearing that. what time you know, the, it something i, i still don't know before the war k 41 was insights and intense organizers gave d w with this wrap,

pre walk footage. now they are outside. it all looks different, but the feeling of inclusion has expanded. it's a place of refuge for the more mainstream, as well as the queer community. this place is like my 2nd home, so i feel here realism, everywhere else. i'm also my friends. ah, i mentally bro. so i don't see any emotions on their faces. that gathering offers more than rest fight for those who attend organize or say they sent all the money raised to help others we help financially directed to people from our community equal in needs and you know, and they also have some other unique safety and philosophy when people have that money for it may need you to bear with me here. evening draws in curfew approaches and the party is over, back into every day war time. but knowing them not alone. now to

the us open tennis where hopes of a fairy tale farewell for serena williams have been dashed. the american last 2. i let tom ludovic in the 3rd round and is now set to retire after a glittering career. i read a will. yes, 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 pilot homeland, 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 said was vintage with him as the american conjured a moment to savor, as she said about levelling, 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 that. maybe like the a 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. ah, history says 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. ah, this is dina bean is live from berlin. stick around though, because well, stories is coming up next with a report about a phone account that's giving ukrainian children a break from the wall. i'm really mohammed, thanks for watching. i'll season a like her, i'm skilled that i work. that's hard and in the end is a me, you are not
