surrogacy as their only chance of having a baby paula distillation means it's the children who suffer in the end. now with the u.s. shuttle program almost over a tough economic situation straining space research some say the american dream of reaching for the stars is over but one man still believes that where there's a will there's a way but williams one of those behind the launch of the hubble space telescope thinks humankind will still make its way into space for special interview is up next. mr williams thank you very much for being with us today it's an honor sir my pleasure said the beauty of hubble images security basically its funding and its place. do you think of beautiful ideas do you have

a better chance of being successful by than that that is that aren't that pretty. no i would say well it's always nice to look at beauty. but in fact this far as a scientific value of hubble is concerned or trying to understand the universe and beauty is one of those things maybe you've heard the expression and the beauty is in the mind of the beholder and so in fact what i see beauty and sometimes is a picture that other people might not consider beautiful but that reveals the answer to some important question like how stars form how a galaxy form and so to a scientist the beauty is a totally different thing the fact that hubble produces beautiful images that children like to see is very important for the funding of global and of course that's important for we scientists that's exactly what i meant and so in that sense yes it is important in fact i can tell you. in the united states maybe in many

countries schoolchildren tend to be fascinated by certain things they're fascinated by dinosaurs for fifty years now if you would go to a typical classroom in the united states and look at posters on the wall you would see pictures of dinosaurs for the first time last year pictures from hubble space telescope occurred more often than the dinosaurs on the walls of the classrooms of america that. is quite an accomplished so thank you children pro funding to help. in fact that's true there are we've had servicing missions to the hubble. five of them actually and the last one there was a lot of questioning because the economy was having problems whether or not it should go ahead there were some committees that actually recommended against the final servicing of the hubble in fact it was the public the american public that

insisted that hubble should be serviced so it could continue sending pictures for another five to ten years so the public has actually helped save the life type of problem or extend it could you validate how it was contribution to science on one hand and narcisse p.r. on the other hand what impact has it had there related nasa has done a good job of publicizing how bold but in fact i don't think that's really the key to success as we all know you can try to publicize something that doesn't really have much of value and you don't succeed i think really it has been a remarkable discovery machine and because of that has been very easy for nasa to. be successful in its p.r. of the telescope i just mentioned that we're going to speak to the apollo eight crew members and everyone knows that they brought back the shot of the earth right

now you see responsible per haps the most sensational photographs of the skies and who really got it from point a couple at nothing how much of a company was it a big gamble really i've always been a risk taker in my life when i was a child first thing i did when i got my first job after school was to deliver newspapers i saved up money got a telescope i was interested in astronomy even at that age. twelve years old first thing i did was on a dark night i took it out to see how far i could see. fifty years later when i became director of the institute that operates help with space telescope it seemed to me at once to do the same thing scientifically look to see just how far out that could see galaxies. there had been some studies scientific studies done before the launch of haldol trying to predict the important scientific problems

that it would help solve and imaging distant galaxies was not one of them and there were valid reasons why many astronomers thought that hubble would do many great things but it probably would not make much of a contribution in studying distant galaxies i question that. and i thought it was sufficiently important that i was willing to take a recess and point at. what i called an undistinguished spot in the sky for ten full days to see what it could see. some prominent scientists were very worried about this because we did this just after hubble had been repaired you know for the first three years of its existence there was a flaw and the mirrors that needed to be corrected and so the american public was very upset about that hubble space telescope at the time of its launch was the most

expensive scientific project in history. two and one half billion u.s. dollars very expensive and it was not working for three years the astronauts repaired it famous servicing mission very successful perhaps the greatest moment in nasa is history except for the moon landing. and so it was very worrisome to many people that right after. the servicing mission when people had been opposed to the telescope because it wasn't working here's some crazy astronomer was going to try to see if he could image distant galaxies and they were afraid that i would get no results and if that were true then the public would really be opposed to the telescope but i thought it was worth the scientific progress. fortunately i had a very good team of young scientists helping me and of course it didn't work out

so there's a story here it is important to take a scientific basis but let's not question what i mean it's a huge relief from what you've described a huge amount of money that could have been so many cons more than prose what drove you that intuition or is it is that reason partly no it was it that's a good question actually it was intuition. that's. i in my science i do tend to rely on my intuition probably too much actually because i can point to times in my scientific career when i had a hunch we call it you suspect something and i followed it and it turned out not to be productive in the case that. in the case of the field it was productive you know it it's true in life that if you're going to make really interesting discoveries something that's unexpected you do need to be

a risk taker and i guess i like to go for the big discovery and so i'm willing to take a risk even though the majority of the time perhaps you come up with nothing very interesting so it's a style that is a personal style that scientists have some people are not such mistake because they can be very successful i happen to be a risk taker. and i've certainly had some failures that turned out to be a success and i think it was definitely worth it now it was a nine to five when you revolutionized the visuals of the signs i mean for us for ordinary people it was a revolution of the visuals and the science and you to the chance to tinker with what scientists and space researchers now catch can be take a chance to gamble or are the stakes too high budgets to tie. it's becoming more difficult when funding is an issue there is greater pressure to come up with a result and of course it's very it's much easier to come up with

a result when you don't take a risk when you're doing something where you already know it's likely to give you a positive result but of course the great discoveries are those in which you are completely unexpected and therefore you cannot anticipate and i believe for the progress of science it is essential that there be risk takers and i think it's important for the people in the political world to fund it. it's a scientific project to realize that it is important for the march of science for the march of human knowledge that a certain amount of risk taking be undertaken just to make sure one more time for you this on a sea of the humble what's more important the facts or the visuals that that that's mind boggling for us. the facts the facts yes so what's more important is it more important for you to see a beautiful picture and we can say that that's art and that's important or is it

more important for you to realize that third's of the scale of really that tells you something about the origins of life even if that image is not pretty i would say it is the increased understanding of the universe that comes even from an image that is not very pretty to me that has much more value then something is beautiful although that of course does have you itself but you asked me as a taxpayer you. know that depends upon your values do you value art and picking something that is beautiful more. fundamental understanding you also said that we're now experiencing that golden age of astronomy we still have that opinion lately you are even with the budget cuts yeah because this extends over a period of some years we're going through difficult periods now in the past few years but when i talk about the golden age of astronomy i talk about the the space

missions that we've had in the past fifteen years and the large ground based observatories in the new technological developments that have enabled us to do things like adaptive optics supercomputers that have really advanced understanding of astronomy if you look at the fundamental discoveries that have been made in astronomy. paul sawers as ours. and the existence of planets around other stars in the past fifteen years there's been an explosion of knowledge about things and it largely is due to important technological developments so they've all come together very well because of the margin number of discoveries that i would say really makes it appropriate to call this age a golden era of astronomy what do you think how both crowning achievement will be i actually think that it is produced many interesting scientific discoveries i

believe the crowning achievement of hubble space telescope will be the fact that it made the public aware of the universe and the fact that we can understand it and the fact that humans are a part of the universe and evolved from that i believe that is helpful scrummaging thank you very much for this interview my pleasure. forty two thousand americans die each year from car accidents only a thousand. seven hundred thousand people. and thirty two thousand will kill themselves cancer in all its forms kills five hundred sixty thousand of us here part of disease is even more devastating it shows over eight hundred seventy thousand americans every year.

hello and welcome your watching this poor thing here's what's coming up in the program europe while one went away from securing their fifteenth market title to be a job their roots in the able to reach the final. barbershop take stage when number two our business to the front spot local favorites almost worthless sticks to the yellow jersey it's been wearing for a consecutive stages now. and figured out discover what caused a united arab emirates player to be substituted immediately after scoring a goal and labelled disrespectful by team manager. for both us to a year ago i have booked a place in the final of the copa america following a sunni piru in the first semi all of this instant immense your winds of unaids it throughout the first softballs you couldn't convert any chances. so it wasn't until

you the second when they finally broke the deadlock luis suarez opened in the fifty third minutes reaching out to the deflection and firing home for one nil just five minutes later the same man made it a brace during his second goal on the night and put him through on the verge of elimination the newly signed liverpool forward doing all the job itself to send the ball internets annette's through never came back down to that losing to neil and hear of why will battle in the paraguayan all that is well up for the championship title. stay with a good boss and has said they are willing to fly to the end for fabregas also know already rejecting an all fine excess of forty million dollars for the spanish international but also coach pat guardiola says the cash is there for the loan sold off that matilda. and getting that is if the interest of f.c. barcelona is known by the press and by arsenal there's money in the safe set aside from his goal if we can make him sign we will do it if not the money will be kept for someone else but we will fight to get sestak until the end because we

understand that this will make us a better team. meanwhile buying new next line up will look significantly different thanks isn't with the bundesliga powerhouse signing a whole host of new players drawing board saying the most high profile bidding farewell to the english premier league to head home to his native germany twenty two old a looking forward to joining up with fellow national team member of boss down schweinsteiger involved in the league champions have been bought and is the missing link as they attempt to reclaim the ground they lost but who said last year the team chemistry should to be an issue pointing just one of half a dozen new players said to the on the reds. now into the latest drama to the fronts where thaw who shipped to full advantage from the second rest stay coming out in full strength of the ensuing stage sixteen the welsh have been beating the boss on hog into sprints of victory on tuesday the region g.-u. along with canadian rider as you delve the only riders in contention

a handful of kilometers from the finish line and eventually allowing herself to time his first to perfection and secure his second stage featuring the c.m. frenchman thomas voeckler though retains the yellow shirt but he'd only been sound for a time when constables made significant gains. and over in shanghai russia continues to dominate the synchronised swimming events of the world championships with yet another gold coming in the technical team routine on tuesday the russian ladies retaining the title they won in rome two years ago by scoring one of the helplines more than china it's acceptable with spain completing the podium elsewhere divers. and you can you console flame silver in the man's three meter springboards and qualify for the london olympics and the pros as they do losing only two chinese rivals and form their first appearance at the world championships. now let's take

a look at how the royal standings luke after four days of competition still is team china who leave their home championships russia though in the best position to challenge that has lead while great britain are in third with the only gold medal won by kerry and pain in the women's open water tank you love it's a race a few days ago. meanwhile china's most popular basketball player ever retires from the sport be a time and be all star fish and calling into korea at a news conference just a half an hour ago yeah i mean was forced to retire after repairing leg and food injuries forced him to miss two hundred fifty games in the past six years the thirty year old was a household name in china before starting his n.b.a. career with the houston rockets as the top draft pick in two thousand and two and b.'s tallest player has spent eight seasons in the league becoming one of china's best known athletes. now an amazing result enough but it's where oscar pistorius also known as bladerunner as qualified for the upcoming world championships in

south korea he needed to clock forty five point five seconds in the four hundred meters to make a bear got the south african did better so passing that mark with a time of forty five point zero seven seconds. easily meaning the twenty four year old double amputee could also be selected to the national team for the swainson's twelve summer olympics in london. it's been a tough couple of years for test cricket the long form of the sport experiencing dwindling attendance coupled with an crazed viewership all of that swayed seats went to john but the international cricket council believe they have the solution in the form of a new competition named the world test championship. for some time though we've been working on. code it will test championship we've always said that it's not the format that is the issue it's the lack of context so by that two series would have a lot more meaning if you aspiring who you were playing toward something at the.

end it's now common knowledge that we hope through that introduces team the top four will be involved in the playoffs which will be to city for the final which will determine a will to stamp it. let's move on says paul that's not combative but nonetheless popular with the modern youth barcoo are all free running has been made famous through the movie industry and is now gaining momentum here in russia and on course there are reports. can you call it a sport if your performance is not rated well these three runners don't care what you call there are four who are practitioners also known as tracers are growing in number across europe and the discipline is now making headway in russia as well and you can see the development in the guys you can see that you know this experience in their training. and the way they move their strength and that sort of thing you can you can visit you know we see that wherever we go if we've been to somewhere and then visited again a few years later we do see a difference in the strength and the ability and competence of the practitioners

normally. than edwards regularly travels the world giving seminars and presentations. this being his third visit to moscow he's a rival always turns into a great spectacle put on by his russian associates and old portie promoting not only a healthy lifestyle but also raising doubts about the very laws of physics. it's very important to be able to have complete control over the body could also be very practical too like when you fly in from bad guys or something if i like what i see here who knows i might join them. russia's climate doesn't allow for a year round. but that's exactly the orse the last fifty to overcome an obstacle unsurmountable in everyday life. that russians don't have many opportunities to try to park or especially in winter when it's cold and therefore thing is covered with snow despite i was impressed with their technique and believe

it has a future here. the global porker community truly has no boundaries with the world's youth united under similar slogans and that's to be healthy in body and spirit through that same sense of flexibility reflex coordination and most importantly self discipline remark or easy. and call it's a one of the most. spectacles of late just take a look now at how the united arab emirates scored that nelson of goal in the seven suit victory of eleven one in an international friendly. a wind up loving quite a surprise guilty of abusing most innovative markets strategy however drew criticism from his own team management is my own rushy don't coach. unimpressed by the keep calling it quote disrespectful amazingly this nineteen year old midfielder is now looking at a fine or even suspension meanwhile lebanon coach emil ruslan played down the incident admitting it can't be regarded as an insult. it's all

a sport for the moment coming up next in the world where then kerry will bring you an update on the main news stay with r.t. . culture is that so much money and which of course the right kind of comes in here is a check and lock is the deadline for the u.s. to increase its debt ceiling looms would appear to be more not politics in upcoming elections than fixing a crippling. of nature and discover its museum. a communicate with the wyoming until the. test yourself and become free and. see what nature can give you a non-si. solution
