hello this is our teams national from moscow with me kevin weekly a round of top stories for the week from us and first the senate leader of the us republican party says negotiations of close to reaching an agreement on the debt but experts fear this could be just another round of a political pick up on capitol hill. poland's admitted responsibility for the plane crash that killed president kaczynski last year

a published report still it tries to shift the blame to russia. under two hundred fifty thousand protesters opposing the streets and squares of israeli cities hear an echo of the arab spring and the chants calling on the prime minister don't know step that. it's eight thirty one pm here in moscow up next legendary rock guitarist and songwriter brian may talks too so sophie shevardnadze speaks on working alongside frontman freddie mercury and reveals his alter ego was an astrophysicist. it's great to have you with us today sir thank you something so recently i was

going through the glass of passage and he writes about music and what he says about music except it's art form it's also true power over nations and himself 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 the conservatory and i always failed my math class now you as a man of music and science can you tell me how music is related with science very exact science like math for example so hard question. yeah obviously there are mathematical things in music but ironically i think the most important things in music or be instinctive things so i don't equate how that works out except maybe gives you but yes i love pure science and i love music and they're not the same sure but. certainly throughout history there has been connections of people whom we were immersed in both of them you know from begin to

be unsuited 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 don't want the complications of the world that we live in you know the these pieces of stuff they just wanted to find the essence of roy so maybe pure science is in some way closed to be a sense of nature and you think it's close to the pure essence of human being at this point you see yourself as a man of science or a man of music. depends on the brain in the hour. do you believe in god there's a. called richard dawkins there who is a very strong atheist i had a little kind of argument with him in a 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 or if you say there is no good 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 goat of some kind i don't subscribe to any religion organized religion that's a different matter but if your question is about right there is a god but if there is a god we have very little idea of what god might be that's inherent in what we are we have very little understanding. do you think we're alone not there. it's only opinion i have a strange feeling that maybe we are and i don't know why this is you know but you you've spoken about the loneliness state you experience after each performance. and study i know because i've spoken to a couple of astronauts are going to the moon at for the past three days and they also speak of that vast loneliness that they experience when they're out there in space. stace some music in your opinion give you that comfort of loneliness.

and i don't know yeah maybe they do for a moment you know maybe ironically you can maybe that's what makes you more aware of the loneliness because you clinch this concert and. wonderful togetherness we people are with the universe and then the reality is you lose it so maybe that's why we've that's why we feel lonely i do feel a lot of loneliness that is a conferencing feeling you know. it's more comforting. but music when you're in it 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 this earlier in your life where was the band. at exploration for celebration or was it sex drugs and rock'n'roll but was it for fame money it was never for flying because i don't particularly enjoy frame it was never for money because i was always happy

with what i had even if we only had a few sprinkles. it's just because it was there was exciting it was unknown it was a door that you thought you could walk through but that thirty years on you want back to finish your ph d. that you just dropped out probably like you do that it was unfinished business. and so if you have a circle someplace in the circle just doesn't quite. make it back past 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 so you want to rock and roll and you know there was a moment you know your stuff to me. and yeah my dad was very against it in the beginning because he. i think he saw in my education and the place i got to the place that he would have liked to sort of he never got used to being 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 out just important. so yeah he was very upset and we hardly true for. various things happened but eventually he came to see a story. he said to me. i understand. it. 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 want to. say that to me but when obviously when you think queen and see you playing next to freddie mercury other great hits come to my mind and then anderson when you reach that level of success with someone you definitely have special about you form

a special bond and i've heard 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 miss them because you take the review. and we were so we won't forget when. you get that close and from somebody particularly in a creative environment i don't think frame there's anything to do with it or even success but in the creative environment you you learn to to know what somebody else might be thinking you might not always be right but you have a feeling for me and so i still feel that when rodgers is well in a particularly good applies more if we're working on a screen in this room we think what we produce there and you are probably 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 freddie 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 we didn't want to feel that it was there even you accept its 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 would try to create to freshen what do you think happens after death after death you will be questions in there. i don't know. i'm inclined to think that our view of the universe is very simplified right you know in a way that you know a little crawling over a piece of paper has a has a very limited view of the universe so i think we also have the limits of you know 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 i think is maybe maybe in the life i'd say i

don't know. you know one thing is certain you can't use it as an excuse you saying ok you know this life is really bad but the next one is going to be ok you have to make the best of what you are so i can't not ask you i know that you and very successful and yet you were on the verge of suicide what stops at that point to fear of death or love of life and yeah i've had very bad depression which a lot of people deal with a certain points what stops you killing yourself. i think what struck me was the fact that i have children and people who are dependent 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 over for 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 don't know if it would make you know i had to somehow discover what was going on and. yeah it would be a bad thing to do because of the people around me and you come up more empowered after that once or actually. i think if you do certain kinds of work you come out more empowered and i do i do kind of check my life in and check myself into a depression. clinic which was actually the best thing i ever did because it was a new start it's not a response in your car you know and i had to ditch my preconceptions and that would definitely carry me and you. and you energy 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 it was very bad for everyone around you there's no you struggling in trying to keep doing what you've been doing the whole time because it's it's going to be the same thing you know you have to somehow get outside. and trust that you can come back as a person who can deal with things are going to make you've got all the money you want your educated man you love staring at stars would you consider maybe flying by the space tourist you know i don't want to bring a tourist soprani but 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 generate although i love to marry but there was an excuse to come you know i had work to do i had things which you cheat and i think that's made me 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 sign 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 for going to space if i thought it would. stop people torturing animals. but i would enjoy it have you spoken to some of the brilliant brains our time for the past three days what do you think when you think could be or is twenty first century the high priest. the twenty first a boy a boy a boy. and maybe nelson mandela. because he has a very important came i think apart from wisdom and moments. he has the key of forgiveness which i think saved his country completely from a blood. and i think people the people who run these planets studied under

nelson mandela then we would definitely get a better planet and i think that would be more than anyone else i think he has became right thank you very much for this interview here. for. peace soon which bryson. moon about song from fines to transition. through starts on t.v. don't come. down to the official anti allocation joint

called touch from the choose option. life on the go. video on demand all cheesemonger old posts and all registry it's now in the palm of your. question on the. store's razzi tonight the senate leader of the us republican party says negotiations are close to reaching an agreement on the dead. but experts fear this could just be another round of political ping pong on capitol hill. collins admitted responsibility for the plane crash that killed president kaczynski last year but the published report still tries to shift some of the blame to russia. for the two hundred fifty thousand nine hundred government protesters have flooded the streets and squares of israeli cities some near an echo of the arab spring get the chance to weigh in on the problem isn't it young stepped down. six years in full

with me kevin only just fifteen minutes away on r t next though kate scott the latest sunday evening sport. hello welcome to the latest sports and here's what's coming up. targeting the armies you need to narrow the gap to leaders to scatter for points after beating struggling spot but now she can one no on for a. while no panic button mclaren's jenson button claims his second victory of the season in his two hundredth career after a scintillating contest at the hungaroring growing craig. allen's ice and easy n.h.l. superstar and birthday boy of get him out in is back in the gym after knee surgery head of his return to the pittsburgh penguins camp. but will first though in japanese have bridged the gap just four points to russian premier league leaders

take on moscow after winning one nil of him to second bottom spot right now trick the child especially sides took the lead after twenty three minutes and picked a five zero impaired that with alexander could record head home the only goal of the game petersburg's side hung on to a narrow lead to pick up their tents victory of the campaign unbeaten eight consecutive games. so it has got another thing to restore their seven point cushion at the top under a new who is class no doubt where they lead one nil thank you keisuke honda started it strike the home side how i missed a penalty that informed that i must go beat ten thousand we've all got to know how to get google are the sort to yellow cones of morning first minute and the same shot julie puts the eleven man of the home side ahead on the hour and it's under some yet off completely the scoring in injury sign a lot of stuff will kick off at home to look forward to contest and of course we know. well as i say twice former champions rubin suffered

a shock three male defeat and is a visiting only she brazil legend better call us initiated angie's first scene after the break we've been goalkeeper. dropped the ball. how much of the of that is off and then do i think the second home alexander could make off headed in his first top flight goal in almost three years and things went from bad to worse for rubin after you were awarded a stoppage time penalty for bunker super did have to retake the spot kick that scored nonetheless real to injury. so to be slide down to fifty in the standings with spartak moscow two points further back following a disappointing one one draw against cuba on a less seen a try or a penalty put the visitors ahead just before half time but that isn't the equaliser just after the break. while in the early kick off today i caught one nil at times thanks to a goal keeping blunder so that off with a simple tap in direct really on the road in siberia. i mean

coach the governor says he expects his size to reach the twenty fourteen world cup finals in brazil but one is confident despite being drawn in the same qualifying group as portugal the draw was made at a ceremony in rio de janeiro for the legendary pele was there as an ambassador for the world cup while another brazil hero rinaldo and russia out of the house in the portuguese group if. so let's take a closer look at the group also there are israel in northern ireland azerbaijan and luxembourg only the nine group winners qualify automatically the second place teams will have to enter a playoff the first matches will be played in august next year after the euro twenty two hours from. now if you are a player of nearly an all messi didn't take to the pitch but a record crowd still gathers to watch manchester united to exact revenge on an under-strength boss alone inside a pre-season friendly in washington d.c. over eighty thousand fans how much the washington redskins stadiums where midway

through the first half they saw danny welbeck nani and not make baskets and perfect all those while the halftime entertainment was provided by any. a superstar kobe bryant it took a different kind of penalty shot the sort you stay. in life in their champions league final triumph like the knight in may also coach gaudio fielded mostly youngsters and it was teenager tiago greek rise to twenty minutes to go how about united manager sir alex ferguson took no chances relying on these heavyweights and michael owen grabbed the wind out six minutes later out so you want the english champions winning all five of them with american not just a good omen for ferguson ahead i think the season and. all that things north of changes and so those who are going to go. there. poured some good order. for me i'm sure that we are fit.

i'm sure of your choice. because some good young players coming through. so these opus's in terms of this cause people to deal with the good ones of the english. and european of course. moving on to formula one as mclaren jenson button has claimed his second win of the season in his two hundredth career race at east really wondering wrong pre which was won and lost on tire strategy button change tires at his third pit stop before the rain fell and passed a teammate lewis hamilton to take the lead and win at the same track where he claimed his first grand prix victory six years ago rebels cherish it leader sebastian vettel who started on pole was second with ferrari's fernando alonso third and also had six pit stops on reading about these conditions for the last we want to. put it was. a great call by the team to put me on the prone to really did. i think great could go but all of us when we decided not to go to the.

all round. at all is the big circuit a little to. weaving on and it was a highly anticipated bout in mixed martial arts that russia strother you go yachting can't stop at his third defeat in a row after losing to forty year old american dan him just in illinois the pair were fighting in the strikeforce game one global heavyweight contest but the last emperor out was beaten by a technical knockout after just over four minutes i was the russian thirty eight in a row having previously gone under over twenty eight fights spanning a decade and this result now i see the thirty four year old retire from the sport. now the world aquatics championships have ended in shanghai and greatest ever olympian michael phelps has been the tournament favorite but the fourteen time gold medalist was upstaged by u.s. teammate and friend ryan lotsa he claimed five goals another world record but he credited them to his rivalry with phelps. i wasn't really satisfied of what i

accomplished in two thousand and i told myself just tired i was tired of always getting second chance and i kind of like no more. and that's when i basically got really focused and so i mean on my sorry change in a lot of things in my guy in my train outside of the fall and i mean it just has made me a just a better son. and finally one of the world's highest paid i saw the styles of any mountain is celebrating his twenty fifth birthday this sunday here in the russian capital recovering after a serious knee injury and. congratulate him and wish him a speedy recovery. game all kim stanley cup winner and russian household name is now going through one of the longest and toughest periods in his life then a child star nicknamed gino suffered a serious knee injury after a collision with a defenseman in general and was sidelined for the rest of the season. so it was

really hard for me is 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 greater however the surgery went well and this month the star forward 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 that is not being winced thing going well. it's a. nice soft place. for. the percent right time to succeed in the first training camp so he's going to get out of my work tell that to our fight so. i can develop through the system much russian powerhouse smelled when you don't last. and there he did for the team in two thousand and three when he was just

seventeen the following year he was drafted second overall babies work behind his national team megan alexander. but due to dispute over contract with metal geno was forced to stay for another year however his dream of playing in the n.h.l. came true in two thousand and six when he finally swapped the russians still city for the american one. alongside then up and coming canadian sydney quietly and it seems like the rink is wide enough to hold both hockey giants. and we. crosby was injured last season too and we spent a lot of time together while we were recovering we supported and cheered on our teammates when we couldn't we keep in touch and i know that his recovery is going well too and he's training on the ice already he's a nice guy and a big star has already won almost all the trophies in hockey and he has no superiority complex marking has been adding two of his to his cabinet every year but there are still no olympic medals in his collection and undoubtedly it's one of

his career it is for the near future here in asia where you haven't won a lot with the national side for me it's a great honor to play for my country all the greats like mario lemieux and wayne gretzky one olympic gold crosby's already grabbed gold too so i'm determined to win the olympics and not only in stocking one medal is never enough. despite wilkins many on ars the star player remains a straightforward almost reserved person while still greedy for victories on the ice at the age of twenty five the career of the england's forward is just starting and spectators booked in north america and in russia should enjoy his skills for many years to come. his name but out of r.t. . that's all things must ask.
