10:33 am
a rock guitarist and songwriter brian may talking to sophie shevardnadze he speaks on walking alongside from an freddie mercury and reveals his alter ego as an astrophysicist. it's great to have you with us today sir thank you for being so recently i was going through the glass bead game and he writes about music and what he says about music is that except it's art it's also true power over nations and human cells and then many people say that exactly why music is compared to exact sciences like math . so i never really got that because i finished product conservatory and i always failed my math class now you as a man of music and science can't tell me how music is related with science or exact
10:34 am
science like math for example it's a hard question. yeah obviously there are mathematical things in music but ironically i think the most important things in music are be instinctive things so i don't know quite how that works out except maybe it gives you a balance but yes i love pure science and i love music and they're not the same sure but. certainly throughout history there have been connections and people who were immersed in both of them you know from be united to b. and c. to. patrick moore you know. it seems to be that we maybe it's an obstruction thing maybe people who like these things don't like the clutter of the world like the complications of the world that we live in you know the these pieces of stuff they just like to find the essence of life so maybe pure science is in some way close to be a sense of nature and music is close to the pure essence of human beings at this point
10:35 am
do you see yourself as a man of science or a man of music. depends on the during the hour. do you believe in god there's a. uncle richard dawkins there who is a very strong atheist and i had a little kind of argument with him in the hundred minutes because he he kind of i think he felt that he proved there was no good and my feeling is that's not a very scientific attitude because if you if you make a pronouncement you have to have evidence if you say there is no god where is the evidence there is no god you can say i don't know you know being an agnostic to me is a scientific point of view which is supportable but you know he's a very clever man he has a different point of view to me but in my experience i have felt at times that there is a god of some kind i don't subscribe to any religion organized religion best of different matter but if your question is about right maybe there is a god but if there is
10:36 am
a god we have very little idea of what that god might be that's inherent in what we are we have very little understanding i think do you think we're alone out there. it's only opinion i have a strange feeling that maybe we are alone i don't know why this is you know but you've spoken about the loneliness state you experience after each performance. and so i know because i've spoken to a couple of astronauts and been to the moon at for the past three days and they also speak about that last loneliness that they experience when they're out there in space. say some music in your opinion gave you that comfort of loneliness. i don't know you know maybe they do for a moment the i'm a bit ironically again maybe that's what makes you more aware of loneliness because you limps it's clinton for instance wonderful togetherness we people are with the universe and then the reality is you lose it so maybe that's why i mean that's why
10:37 am
we feel lonely i do feel a lot of loneliness but is it a comforting feeling you know it's more comforting. but music when you're. for the moment and science when you're in it for the moment it is all encompassing so yeah you don't have time to think i was going to ask you that earlier in your life you know it's the bond and. exploration for celebration was it sex drugs and rock'n'roll what was it for fame money it was never for fine because i don't particularly enjoy it was never for money because i was always happy with what i have even if we only had fish fingers. it's just because it was there i suppose it was exciting it was unknown it was a door that you thought you could walk through but then thirty years on you want back to finish your ph d. that you just dropped out from what you do that it was unfinished business. it's like you have a circle some place in the circle just doesn't quite. make it break task
10:38 am
accomplished but it didn't have to do anything with going to go kills towards your parents because you dropped out earlier on in life and maybe they're a little disappointed in you because you went off to work and you know there was a moment you know your stuff that mean. yeah my dad was very against it in the beginning because he. i think he saw in my education and the place i'd go to the place that he would have liked to have got to he never got his degree so it always held him back in his life so he saw me with this fantastic degree in science and the whole world opening up to me and it looked like i was walking away from it and he found that just impossible. so yeah he was very upset and we hardly told her about. the. various things happened but eventually he came to see us for. he for me. were
10:39 am
there for her. and the funny thing was you know he was very against all the time i was doing something off with queen he was drawing little maps and charts of how the record sales were doing and you know he was following with great detail what i was doing so he was always kind of into it he just didn't perhaps one of. say that to me. obviously when you think queen and see you playing next to freddie mercury all those great hits come to my mind and then understand that when you reach that level of success with someone you definitely have a special one you form a special bond and i've heard you in another interview say that you still see freddie in a strange way can you elaborate on that it's like a family member you lose them but you don't quite lose them because you take the review. and we were so alone together. so. you get that closeness from somebody particularly in the creative environment either through framers or things
10:40 am
to do. even success but in the creative environment you learn to to know what somebody else might be thinking you might not always be right but you have a feeling for them and so i still feel and roger does as well in particular it applies more if we're working on a screen in the same room we think what would freddie say and thirdly he would say this. you know he's part of the creative process because he's part of what we are because we really chiseled this thing out all together me and pretty and roger so you know i mean for a while i didn't want to you know i was very. it was a point you know the grieving process where i just didn't want to talk about green didn't want to feel that it was there even the acceptance history but i sort of got through that and now i regard it as part of my life which will never go away and it shouldn't go away because it's so big part of what i worked to create to fashion what do you think happens after death after death you know the big questions in
10:41 am
there. i don't know. i'm inclined to think that our view of the universe is very simplified you know in a way that you know people crawling over a piece of paper has a very limited view of the universe so i think we also have a limited view so this existence that we know maybe just a very small part of the whole picture you know and i'm excited to think that maybe so. i'm not counting on it because maybe maybe at the end of your life but i don't know. you know one thing is certain you can't use it as an excuse you can't say ok you know this life is really bad but the next one is going to be ok you know you have to make the best of where you are so i can't not ask you now that you've been very successful and yet you you were on the verge of suicide what stops you at that point the fear of death or love life. yeah i've had very bad depression which
10:42 am
a lot of people deal with at certain points what's killing yourself. i think what stopped me was the fact that i had children and people who depended on me and people who love me. and you just think in a sense is a very selfish thing to kill yourself because you make so much mess you know you do terrible things to the people around you that would have been all of my children. and maybe i would like to tell you that there was a glimmer of hope there but there wasn't at that time now i remember driving and seeing the bridge and thinking i could do this and i just thought it would make you know i have to somehow discover what what is going on and yeah it would be a bad thing to do because of the people around me and you come out more empowered that actually. i think if you do certain kinds of work you come out more empowered
10:43 am
yeah and i did i did kind of check my life in and checked myself into a depression clinic which was actually the best thing i ever did because it was a new start it's like restarting your car you know and i had to ditch my preconceptions and that would definitely gave me a new. a new energy and it wasn't instant but it gave me the tools to deal with life in a slightly different way i think you have to get to the point where you throw everything away. because that's the only way you can make a new start i realised that if i did not deal with the depression i was no use to anybody so it's the same kind of logic is not killing yourself you know. killing yourself is really bad for everybody around you but was it staying in depression is very bad for everyone around you so it's not you struggling and trying to keep doing what you've been doing the whole time because it's going to be the same thing you know you have to somehow get outside. and trust that you can come back in as. a
10:44 am
person who can deal with things if. you've got all the money you want you're an educated man you love staring at stars would you consider maybe flying as a space tourist you know i don't like being a tourist it's funny that you say that you know if i was flying in there was some reason for it into space i think i would enjoy it more it's like being here. i keep busy in my life and it's quite hard for me to take a week off just to come to turn around and although i'd love to know but there was an excuse to come you know i had work to do i had things which could be achieved and i think that's made me and joy the sunshine and and the beach more the fact that i'm sort of part of the life of the sign and i love the sun and anyway and it's because of the really it's not because of being a tourist so you know if there was some reason to go into space if i thought it would. stop people torturing animals i would do it again. but i would enjoy it have you spoken to some of the brilliant brains our times for the past three days what
10:45 am
do you think what you think could be or is high priest of the twenty first century the high priest of the twenty first boy oh boy a boy. maybe nelson mandela. because he has a very important thing apart from wisdom and moments. he has the key of forgiveness which i think saved his country completely from a bloodbath and i think people the people who run this planet studied under nelson mandela and we would definitely get a better planet and i think that would be more than anyone else i think he has the key. thank you very much for this interview him.
10:46 am
twenty years ago arduous country.

where did it take. the senate leader of the us republican policy says negotiations are close to reaching an agreement on the debt dalai lama but experts fear this could be just another round of political ping pong on capitol hill. conan's admission responsibility for the plane crash that killed president kaczynski jan but the published report still tries to shift some. one hundred fifty animals into anti-government protesters have flooded the streets and squares of his way to cities. of the arab spring in the chants calling on prime minister netanyahu to step down. but isn't the phone in just around fifteen minutes time but before that let's cross over to the sports desk with kate is going to lay this particular hungering grand prix and it was a very memorable day for one. of the.

10:56 am
hard for me as it's the first time i've been in such a situation you can't get away without injuries in hockey you just have to put up with it and don't let it play on your mind so it was more of a mental challenge for me however the surgery went well and this month the stuff ford was able to train with his strength and conditioning coach in moscow and in a month and a half he will start training camp with his team the bismark being with thought. right we're going to work out today yeah and i saw face. time after turning in there. but i think he's going to have the same by the time ever since he was around the first day of training camp so he's going to get you know another month and a half to work out and do our off ice and training. malcolm develop through the system and to russian powerhouse without money that dollars and
