georgian of voices of support of three photojournalists accused of espionage growing louder as critics question the validity of the suspects we since compassion it's. now with us shuttle program almost over on a tough economic situation straining space research some say the american dream of reaching for the stars one man still believes that where there's a will there's a way robyn williams one of those behind the doors of the hubble space telescope things humankind will still make its way into space all specially into this next. mr williams thank you very much for being with us today it's an honor sir my pleasure said the video problems images security basically its funding and its place in science to think of beautiful ideas do you have

a better chance of being successful by them and that is they aren't that pretty. no i would say well it's always nice to look at beauty. but in fact the 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 the 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 hubble and of course that's important for we scientists that's exactly what i meant so 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 dinosaurs on the walls of the classrooms of america that. that is quite an accomplished so thank you children for funding to help well in fact that's true but 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 time of all the more extended would you validate how it was contribution to science on one hand and nasa this p.r. on the other hand what impact does it have there related nasa has done a good job of publicizing hubble 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 value and you don't succeed i think called war really has been a remarkable discovery machine and because of that is been very easy for nasa to. be successful in the p.r. of the telescope i just mentioned they were going to speak to the apollo eight crew

members and everyone knows that they brought back the shot of the earth right now you be responsible for perhaps 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 have 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 and got to tell us where 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 hubble space telescope it seemed to me to do the same thing scientifically and look to see just how far out that could see galaxies. there had been studying scientific studies done before the

launch of hubble 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 hubble at. what i called an undistinguished spot in the sky for ten full days to see what it would seem 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 in 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. service of 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 a scientific methods you know and fortunately i had a very good team of scientists helping me and of course it did work out

so there's a story here it is important to a scientific basis but that's my question i mean it's a huge relief from what you've described and huge amount of money that could have been so many const more than prose what truly is that intuition or is it is that reason partly no it was if 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 and 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 mistake. 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 that is a personal style that scientists have some people are not such mistakes they can be very successful i happen to be a risk taker. i've certainly had some failures that turned out to be a success and i think it was definitely worth it. it was in ninety five when you revolutionized the visuals of the science i mean for us for ordinary people it was a revolution of the visuals and of science and you took a chance you took a risk what about scientists and space researchers now can can we take a chance to amble or are the stakes too high budgets to tight. it's becoming more difficult when funding is in. 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're 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 who fund expensive scientific projects 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 odyssey of the humble what's more important the facts or the visual effect 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 there's a discovery 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 of value then something is beautiful although that of course does have you itself but you asked me as a taxpayer i think. that depends upon your. humans do you value art and depicting something bad is beautiful more. fundamental understanding you also said that we're now experiencing the golden age of astronomy we still have that opinion maybe you are even with budget cuts. because this extends over a period of sun 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 our understanding the strong to me if you look at the fundamental discoveries that have been made in astronomy. the whole sars qualls arms 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 to cause this large number of discoveries that i would say really makes it appropriate to curl this age 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 it i believe that it's helpful it's crowning achievement thank you very much for this interview my pleasure. emission free the critic ation free comes for charges free maintenance free risk free still free. the old free lunch just plug in video for your media projects and free media and on

you're watching the sports on our team and here is what's coming up on the program here while one with away from securing the fifteenth called america title to the edge out their route to kneel to reach the final. stage when number two it to the frostbite local favorites on most states to the yellow jersey has been wearing for eight consecutive stages now. and also figured out discover what caused a united arab emirates player to be substituted immediately after scoring a goal and labeled disrespectful by sea manager. who began with a ball where you're wrong have booked a place in the final of the copa america following a victory over piru in the first semi all of this as tournaments your guides emanated throughout the first off but couldn't convert any chances so it wasn't

until early in the sack and when they finally broke the javelin. we saw us open in the fifty third minute reaching out to the deflection and firing home five minutes later the same man made it to brain scoring second on the knights and putting pharaoh on the verge of elimination and you decide liverpool forwards doing all the job himself to send the ball into nets and that's their own never came back after that losing. your why will battle in the parable i am going as well for the title. which i want to know because you're going is don't think any more about coming second and it will be designs to we know we can we know we can lose now we have given ourselves the opportunity to play in the final but going to try to win but of course we don't know what's going to happen. to me and that is like a preparing for today's semi both sides have already produced an unexpectedly impressive display during the tournaments paraguayan knocking out defending champions brazil while them as well as some chile back and also in the course is

going to have much in the group stage and to level at three apiece so when it sounds game coming up late so we've been as well a coach says authority as saying the school is set to go out on the winning notes. so to see that we had the chance to play in the final and we had to say that because that's the way we feel we don't feel that we're less than anyone else the numbers show that in a cup when beaten we have scored more goals than anyone else we're very well disciplined so why wouldn't i try and make it into the final. meanwhile the tevis transfer saga same's to be over at least for a while after corinthians withdrew that offer due to lack of time to have a scene here in the problem at a quarter final last week where his personal penalty shot was saved by the euro why keeper greenspan said it it's insane to be able to sign the seven year old into the transfer window closes on wednesday evening they did however point out they still want the striker and could revive the deal in january. to stay with the barcelona

very much want to personally congratulate on his distinguished career and wish him success as he transitions into the next phrase that was life importantly we look forward to working with you know in continuing the growth of the game of basketball in china big growth to which he has already contributed so much meanwhile it's been a tough couple of years as a test cricket the long form of the sport experiencing dwindling attendance coupled with increase the us shape all of that swayne since wednesday but base national cricket council believe they have the solution in the cold war a new competition named the world championship for some time though we've been working on. this championship we've always said that it's not the format that is the issue it's the lack of context so by the two series we have a meeting if you will you are playing towards something at the end. and it's not

common knowledge that we hope to get into. the top four will be involved in the play you. will be to see photos of the final which would have to have been able to stamp it. an amazing achievement in athletics meanwhile where all scope a story is also known as bladerunner has called by for the upcoming world championships in south korea the double amputee needed to got forty five points one thousand five seconds in the four hundred meters to make it there but the south african did even better causing that mark by zero point eight hundred seconds elin easily meaning the twenty four year old could well take part in both the world finals in august and its ways twelve summer olympics in london. now let's move on to a sport that it's not competitive but nonetheless popular with more than youth barcoo or freerunning has been made famous through the movie industry and is now gaining momentum here in russia as an encore sort of found out. 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 professionals also known as tracers are growing in number across europe and the discipline is now making headway in russia as well but you can see the development in the guys you can see that you know this experience in their training and the way they move the 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 confidence of the practitioners normally. zan edwards regularly travels the world giving seminars and presentations on for poor this being his third visit to moscow he's a rival always thirds into a great spectacle put on by his russian associates and all day al gore portie promoting not only a healthy lifestyle but also raising doubts about the very laws of physics. is that it's very important to be able to have complete control over the body park or could

also be very practical too like when you fly in from bad guys or something and 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 fifteen to overcome an obstacle unsurmountable in everyday life. understand that russians don't have many opportunities to practice park or especially in winter when it's cold and their feet thing is covered with snow despite i was impressed with their technique and believe it has a future here. the global parker 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 the attainment of flexibility reflex coordination and most importantly self discipline remarkable for our easy. and fun it's one of the most bizarre football. spectacles of late just take a look now at how the united arab emirates school their penultimate goal in

a seven to get jailed eleven and an international funding the al gore won a lawsuit quite a surprise but it goes until he goes when you see the most innovative spark it's started you however drew criticism from his own team manager is naive. apparently unimpressed by the cake calling it quote disrespectful amazingly the twenty year old midfielder is now looking at a fine or even suspension meanwhile lebanon coach emil ruth stone played down the incident and mixing it can be regarded as an insult. and that was a sport with a.o.l.'s we'll bring you the news right after the weather update stay with our team. cultures that so much time and which are called on it comes up here is a definite deadline as the deadline for the us to increase its debt ceiling looms
