it's. a this is a foreign intervention it gets. us from positions of naval pools and in the region all the u.k. refusing. military assets against its racial. lines images of be on rest in libya of the resting place they conduct these military time civilian protests. and it's a day one of the much heralded overhaul of russia's police to try to use public
8:31 am
transit and upholstered many say they rebound he said. i'm next meeting space exploration and how it could help prevent. allen smith from the space fund flora tree involved too. well this year we're celebrating fifty years since year ago guarin became the first man in space and you are presenting a new project joint project between russia and the united kingdom could you tell us briefly about the project for those who don't know what it is the project would involve as the name implies two spacecraft which would which would all be. about four hundred kilometers apart and they will be. miscommunication on board which will study the are in the sphere from above and what we're looking for is the signal signatures in the spear which are precursors to earthquake phenomena and
8:32 am
volcanic eruption phenomena what would happen would be after twins out there would be a mission which would be an earthquake prediction program and the data from that would be correlated on the ground and what you have is something like a website or something which gave the earth quite probabilities. around the world what we would produce is some sort of indicator which is like. a likelihood of an earthquake indicator and that would be derived from all the data available but it would be a short so if that indicator went into the rate of the in a particular area the local authority in that area would take action and they might have up to ten days notice that there's a very high chance that there's going to be an earthquake in that area within the next ten days and they would do whatever they could to mediate the damage caused by the earthquake so you would have less collateral damage less loss of life the main
8:33 am
damage from an earthquake is not the actual earth quake itself it's usually the fires and. that sort of thing that happened after the earthquake and you can prevent a lot of that even you know if you know things like to turn off the gas mains to turn off the electricity to reduce the likelihood of fire and just to prepare people for. an earthquake so you will save a lot of lives that way and you will reduce the the impact so we can't prevent earthquakes and we will lose a lot of infrastructure but perhaps we can save the cost is it just the earthquakes and tsunamis i mean is it the same does it affect anything else if there's anything there's major movements the volcanic eruptions are also in that so and in fact they might even be easier to detect you know why. and of course there's a whole different issue associated with what kind of corruption as we've seen recently in iceland where. civil aircraft has been as being affected
8:34 am
so once again what kind of. time frames do you get it we will we will look for launch in about twenty fifteen would be when we would expect to launch and the mission as a three year mission so by the end of. twenty eighteen we should be in a position to know where to go why have you chosen as a partner we had some russian scientists visiting us in the u.k. and they were talking about a single satellite mission that they had in mind and we had in the u.k. . some ideas for a small satellite which will follow a larger satellite around the sky and bringing the two together look like a really good mission and we've built on that's absolutely true that russian has a huge heritage in space x. so that counts for a lot because you're working with people who it's within that it's their culture
8:35 am
their way of life and so that's fine and that makes them a very credible partner to work with well this is not the first time you're working with the russians you've also worked on a say use base craft what can you tell us about your experiences background well that was back that was back in the eighty's i worked on. instrumentation for seven in the mir space station and. it was interesting and different we didn't really know very much about the spacecraft it was very difficult to get information about the spacecraft that you provide to i think these days things are much more open and it's a much easier relationship at the level that we're working at the moment things are very open but even then the relationship at the science level is very good it's very open very friendly very positive. and i really do enjoy working in that sort of situation so i'm looking forward to it you were talking about the eighty's
8:36 am
but from your experience how much difference is there between the soviet space science and the russian space science is more of an emphasis now on commercial space in russia than the worlds in the past new launch vehicle particularly of a very very impressive launch vehicle program i think there's been an emphasis in that and. there's been i think there was a time when russian space science diminished a little bit but i think we're seeing russians for a science community to play particularly in earth related areas i mean that's observation which is what this is all about let's now talk about mars five hundred are ground based experiment simulating manned flight to mars how realistic would you say it is after all there is no weightlessness and it's just a warehouse with a scientific theory going to mars is a very complex endeavor and we can't simulate it in one go so what we have to do is
8:37 am
separate out the various different difficult aspects of it and then try to isolate those aspects and then understand those aspects so the one of the real problems in going to markets is getting people to get on with each other for that period of time and still be affected when they when they arrive six or eight months later when the service and the name come back again so it's not meant to be a perfect. simulation. it's meant to just tease out some of the real issues and some of the issues are things like the difficulty of communication and the growing time lag in communications with the sense of general sense of isolation the fact that they have only limited supplies etc so all those things are being well simulated. the it's never going to be possible to simulate low gravity or the actual sort of weightlessness of the trip but i think hopefully this will go on to the next generation of simulation which will be. more fidelity
8:38 am
which will mean that they will be using equipment on their mars sandpit which is more likely quitman that they would be using what would you say we would be able to travel to mars if ever if we decided because we're going to mars tomorrow we could be there in ten years. and it's. a matter of political good terminations just like going to the moon or something like that why did the americans and start their moon program in a way you see america. wanted the first ok years and man on the moon. first but was there done that tick that box carry the question then was what was the purpose of future lunar missions and the lunar science was never the main reason for going to a movie because apollo wasn't really a scientific program they did some good science but there's an awful lot more that could have been done if there'd been a couple more missions they canceled the last missions on apollo and those were the
8:39 am
science missions wrong so i think that what happened is the box was texting the political imperative when the why have much in your view there's the politics today effect pure science it's not so much these days about national pristine it's more about national economics these days we have to work together because it's just all too expensive to do it on your own and when we do work together we try to maximize the benefit to our own people to nation and scientists of course are irritated by this put the politicians if you like have to bear that in mind so politics is there it's economics more than politics and one thing that the scientists are doing all the time is trying to encourage public interest because without public interest we're not going to get funding and so we need to be relevant we need to show how or going to mars benefits. the the nations that are
8:40 am
going finally let's turn to the subject that is really of interest to many space tourism it may seem like a far away dream at the moment but are we going to get to the point when it's going to be open to the public that there's enough activity going on at the moment that means that there will be in only a few years time you would if you're well enough if you're rich enough you could you could buy a trip into space and see the black sky. space hotels and things i think are probably farther away than going to mars but i think that the public will have the possibility whether we can. get sort of suborbital flights which will get us from europe to australia now or something like that. maybe maybe it is really not a much is it's not so much technical feasibility all these things are absolutely technically feasible it's whether or not you can get the investment to do so how
8:41 am
much do you think it would cost at the moment i mean virgin galactic would charge ten thousand pounds for a few minutes in space i think that number could come down to a thousand pounds if there's a knowledge enough market because ultimately what you're looking at is a piece of technology that's not much more sophisticated than a major aircraft where do you think would be the restrictions for those people who want to know why it wouldn't be a particular comfortable ride you're going to suffer weightlessness and g. forces so that but i don't think they're that bad i think that. an ordinary person a healthy person even a person in their eighty's can travel in space is not that it's not that bad.

8:48 am
a whole crowd will force the slovaks to go out especially against russia that's because russia iran can be one in the world at the moment despite losing last year's finals every she will want to play good natured construction but we are prepared for this and we play to win and every single game so i think a lot of good hockey is still for the fans. football and that manchester united striker wayne rooney is available for tuesday night's clash at chelsea after escaping punishment for elbowing another player in the head it last week we can midfielder james mccarthy in united's four nil away when on saturday referee mark clattenburg didn't send rooney off and still believes he made the right decision which in turn prevents the f.a. from taking further action no retrospective beyond that of the striker who line up at stamford bridge this tuesday evening. rallied as you know putting please their latest seven points they were asking with a victory about how the want to chelsea for all of us nine years and what we do has the best defensive record in the premier league however about which call the launch
8:49 am
a loss he believes his team's chances of retaining that league title are slim there fifteen points off the pace in the first place and the top four finish work on their focus i want to match the win against my united front when. we don't say that we are ok we have to believe our ears and objectively we have to we have. to be honest and now it's very difficult for us to go but there are other games and the premier league that we want to arrive and the first part of the latest of the table. this is i want to make our very and poor form isn't the only problem and chalabi has been facing news left back ashley cole has been in the headlines this week for accidentally shooting a work placement employee with an air rifle at the training ground and cup of butts the manager denies there's a problem disappear at the club. and he that from outside nobody can we can say
8:50 am
that here is all going to control because we are going to have another edition prelim we would take it as usual we don't want to speak the other side with this year we think. so important is not true that here there is with this it mean because i think that a player on the beach are so and so you got to you can judge the player on the page the player on the bridge or so when we have a player showing of respect for the referees are showing our respect voted. for the vice. this is what you have to judge not other things. so often let's have a quick look at the table united with a nice cushion at the top with trial games left to play chelsea just out of the champions league spots at the moment the win this tuesday evening with season leapfrogged top number and at the bottom west brom are out of the relegation zone after they snatched a long one draw at stoke on monday night all read about second strike discounts

seventeen thousand pounds. winter sports now and newly crowned god slay worlds and world cup champion alexander zuckoff says another turning his attention to the twenty fourteen sochi olympics the russian veteran then dismissing fears he could once again retire the thirty six year old has returned from germany where he eclipse the local favorites to become russia's first ever bobsleigh a world champion so cough and his teammate alexei where gods are also won the two man event to their world cup glory plus they came to the overall title of the same track including say so god had retired from the sport last summer but then returned to enjoy the best season of his career and is now hungry for more. but. of course will be preparing for the sochi olympics from now on when i didn't come back into this sport for just one season we had some serious discussions with the sports hierarchy and came to a decision for the new head of the bobsled federation knows very well what's to be done if we're to achieve good results of the season for example who finished in the
