see the loss leader of the soviet union late to rest. ah, i'm healing mohammed, welcome to the program. nasa has called off its 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 said to be the 1st launch for the agencies are to miss program, which aims to eventually return a human crew to the moon. well, let, let's cross over to florida and speak to nico,

detriment from the european space agency. it's good to have you with us here on dw news. how much of a disappointment was this news? space business is a risky and challenging business and having a main flight was to launch crafts is not totally unusual. obviously, we would have to see it flying today. for anything else from a disaster, we fly when it's safe and it was not yet see. are these teething problems quite typical for a new rocket? blown given case, it was a leakage on a quick disconnect. so we have seen this already on monday morning or monday morning, overcome by operational worker on search with less lucky. the problem is you cannot disconnect such a connector on the launch pass, or at least not easily and it will take too much time. so we run to the hope it

will be fine again as it was a last time. unfortunately, that was not the case. we're taking our lessons learned and we will be fine with. it also shows just how risky and challenging an operation. this is. why is space exploration so important? i would say we would like to go to the moon and maybe even fall when her mother went to the end of the sixty's, beginning of the seventy's. this walk with children, all the call. this time, you're not going to put flags with something for the money or what is important to understand. in the sixties and seventies on all missions went to the equitorial loan of the moon, which is scientifically more interesting area. interesting is poll areas where

a lot of craters in those craters, we expect that much more interesting material samples which could help us to better understand the evolution of the solar system. but we also know that in these areas, ice water and i see water could be who in c to processing interesting to produce water drinking water to produce oxygen to breathe, to produce maybe even watch you and to use it to build the phone with you on the surface infrastructure and all this would allow a more sustainable exploration taking. so these are just some of the key resources that you think emission to the moon might bring back, right? that's correct. however, there's also the b c in the us in this program is not only a land in in this program also contains so called gateway,

which is not a station which will be built round starting from 10 to 25. and this is another important element which will allow, that's a more sustainable exploration of the surface because you don't have to, let's say, given the house to the surface and back. but you can better plan from the staging post missions to the surface. okay, that is niko deadman from the european space agency. thank you very much. indeed for taking the time to speak to us. you know, we are completely now the last leader of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev has been laid to rest in moscow. garbage 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 for former leaders. 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 has solid relations. the law. so the leader was given an honorary god. his daughter and grandchildren looked on as a relatively modest funeral, went ahead at moscow's nova to each he cemetery. a place where many prominent russians lie buried earlier, thousands of ordinary musk of ice cued up to pay their last respects at the pillar hall, where gorbachev open casket was put on display. the whole normally serves as a venue for state funerals, hungarian prime minister victor oberon 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 he today spoke well of him up with capacity. 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 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 is that at the end of an era a writer william that william tobin spent a lot of time with mikhail gorbachev and wrote an extensive biography of him. he

explains why there was such a stark difference between how gorbachev 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. uh, 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. let's take a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world gas pump shut down gas supplies to germany indefinitely. the russian energy companies as the north stream one pipeline will stay offline blaming maintenance. european leaders say that's a farce. calling this an extension of russia's war in ukraine, denies nations. nuclear watchdog says the main electricity line to these upper region nuclear power plant is being disconnected. but the facility is still receiving power through a backup system. inspect this from the i. e. r at the site in southern ukraine, which is now controlled by russian forces. ah, and that is in sports and football. well, we're a bi in munich have failed to win for the 2nd weekend in a row. the bonus league a champions were held, 11 act union, berlin,
