for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on. bringing you the latest in science and technology from the realms of russia. we've got the future covered.

hello this is our team to national for 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 are close to reaching an agreement on the debt but experts fear this could be just another round of a political ping pong up on capitol. hill for the plane crash that killed president kaczynski last year published reports tried to shift the blame russia. and the two hundred fifty thousand protesters of the streets and squares of israeli cities hear an echo of the arab spring in the.

step. it's eight thirty pm here in moscow up next legendary rock guitarist and songwriter brian may talks to so he speaks working alongside frontman 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 the 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 science like math for example it's a hard question. 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 has been connections and people who were immersed in both of them you know from leonardo da vinci 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 but what 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 being at this point 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 because i'm. uncle richard dawkins there who is a very strong atheist probably 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 go right maybe there is a god but if there is 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 don't 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 and been to the moon at for the past three days and they also speak of that fast loneliness that they experience when they're out there in space. say some music in your opinion give you that comfort of loneliness. oh yeah maybe they do for a moment the i'm a bit ironically you can maybe that's what makes you more aware of loneliness

because you limps it's clinton and. wonderful togetherness we people are with the universe and then the reality is you lose it so maybe that's why many of us why 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 in 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 a 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 back task 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 to me. you know 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 to. be so yeah he was very upset and we hardly told about.

the. various things happened but eventually he came to see us for and. he said to me. i understand where they're from. and the funny thing was you know he was very against the time i was doing starting 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. obviously when you think queen and see you playing next or 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 law and 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. you get that closeness from somebody particularly in the creative environment either through trainers or think you do. you can 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 that and so i still feel that and roger does as well in a particularly good applies more if we're working is going in the same room we think what would freddie say and the further 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 i mean for a while i didn't want to you know i was very. it was a point of 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 there. i don't know. i'm inclined to think that our view of the universe is very simplified and you know in a way that you know beetle 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 that may be 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 have

to make the best of what you are so i can't not ask you i know that you've been very successful and yet you where on the verge of suicide what stops at that point that fear of death or love life. yeah i've had very bad depression which a lot of people deal with at certain points what stops you 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 keep yourself because you make so much may soon you do terrible things to the people around you that would have been all my children. and maybe i would like to tell you that there was a glimmer of hope that there wasn't at that time and 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 yeah and i did i did kind of chalk 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 no use struggling and 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 in as. a person who can deal with things are going to make you've got all the money you want educated men 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 love to eat 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 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 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 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 right thank you very much for this interview him.

story the senate leader of the us republican party says. this could have a round of political capitol hill. 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 protesters of flooded the streets and squares of israeli cities. of the arab spring in the chance calling on. next year's in full with me kevin i'll be just fifteen minutes away on our t.v. next the latest sunday evening sport. hello

welcome to the latest sport and here's what's coming up. targeting the army's unease narrow the gap to lead us to it's got a full points after beating struggling spot right now one nil on home turf. while no panic button mclaren's jenson button claims his second victory of the season in his two hundredth career after scintillating contest at the hunt gary ingrown craig . allen's ice and easy n.h.l. superstar and birthday boy again he malkin is back in the gym after knee surgery ahead of his return to the pittsburgh penguins come. first though and japanese have bridged the gap to just four points to russian premier league leaders take on moscow after winning one to second bottom spot now trick the child as well as his side's took the lead after twenty three minutes and picked to pedal alexander could record to head home the only goal of the game and petersburg side hung on to

a narrow lead to pick up their tents victory of the campaign unbeaten in eight consecutive games. so it has got i'm not looking to restore their seven point cushion at the top under a new boys class no doubt where they lead one nil thanks dickie suki home to sevens but it strikes the home side how missed a penalty in form did imo moscow beat a ten man volga to know how to get going to allow the sort to yellow cones of warm first minute and the same shot julie puts the eleven man of the home side ahead on the hour and xander some yet off completely the scoring in injury time. will kick off at home to look forward to if interest in the quarter alone. while on saturday twice former champions rubin suffered a shock three nil defeat as a visiting owner she brazil legend for better call us initiated angie's first soon after the break rubin goalkeeper. dropped the ball. which got the of finished it off and then it went to 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 ravine after and you were awarded a stoppage time penalty bunker so you for did have to retake the spot kick but scored nonetheless three no two hundred eight. so to be slide down to fifth in the standings with spot at 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 that valis equaliser just after the break. while in the early kick off to that one one nil at home thanks to a goal keeping blunder shemale sold off with a simple tap in direct on the road from siberia. coach the governor says he expects his side to reach the twenty fourteen world cup finals in brazil the dutchman was confident despite being drawn in the same qualifying group as portugal the draw was made at

a ceremony in rio de janeiro the legendary pele was there as an ambassador for the world cup while another brazil hero rinaldo and russia out of the house on the portuguese group s. . 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 while the second place teams will have to enter a playoff the first matches will be played in august next year after euro twenty twelve. now if a player of the year leonore messi didn't take to the pitch but a record crowd still gathers to watch manchester united exact revenge on an under-strength barcelona side and a pre-season friendly in washington d.c. over eighty thousand families are packed to the washington redskins stadiums midway through the first half they saw danny welbeck feed nani and not make possibly predict all those while the halftime entertainment was provided by any. be a superstar kobe bryant it took a different kind of penalty shot this sort of mission to stay however unlike in

their champions league final triumph of the night in may the boss a coach gaudio fielded mostly youngsters and it was teenagers tiago gay guys to twenty minutes to go however at united manager sir alex ferguson took no chances relying on these heavyweights and michael owen grabbed the winner six minutes later to one the english champions winning all five of the north american match is a good omen for ferguson ahead of the new season you. want to use water changes and so is the route to. the. ports of the disorder. for me i'm sure that we have a fit. i'm sure to get a good squad. i was some good young players coming through. so these are all pauses and terms of discord people to deal with the divines of the english. and european

of course. moving on to formula one and mclaren jenson button has claimed his second win of the season in his two hundredth career race at least really in hungary and growing pre which was won and lost on tire strategy button change tires at his third pit stop before rain fell and past teammate lewis hamilton to take the lead and win at the same track where he claimed his first grand prix victory six years ago red bull's championship leader sebastian vettel who started on pole was second with ferrari's fernando alonso third have also had six pit stops already like these conditions. but it worked out again through a great call by the team to put me on the prone to when they did. i think great cool boy but all of us when we decided not to go to the into the. all round amazing weekend when all of the big circuits were all team. moving on and it was a highly anticipated bout in mixed martial arts that russia's georgia your biljana suffered his third defeat in

a row after losing to forty year old american dan henderson in illinois the pair were fighting in the strikeforce m one global heavyweight contest but the last emperor out was beaten by a technical lock out after just over four minutes that was the russian third defeat in a row having previously gone unbeaten over twenty eight fight spanning a decade and this result could now 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 had been a plea tournament favorite but the fourteen time gold medalist was upstaged by u.s. teammate and friend ryan lochte or he claimed five goals under world record but he credited them to his rivalry with phelps. i wasn't really satisfied of what i accomplished in two thousand and eight and i told myself i was just tired i was tired of always getting second term and i kind of like no more. and that's when i basically got really focused and so i mean all my sorry changing

a lot of things in my diet in my train also over the fall and i mean just have has made me just a better song. and finally one of the world's highest paid ice hockey styles did get a mulligan is celebrating his twenty fifth birthday this sunday here in the russian capital while recovering after a serious knee injury and. want to congratulate him and wish him a speedy recovery. you game stanley cup winner in the russian household name is now going through one of the longest and toughest periods in his life then a child star nicknamed geno suffered a serious knee injury after a collision with a defenseman in general and was sidelined for the rest of the season. it was really 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 business being winds i don't want such what you call today. and i saw face. time after coming in there. i think it's going to be a hundred percent by the time ever since he was around the first day of training camp so he's going to get a month and a half to work out that two hours off myself. training i can develop through the system and to russian powerhouse with old when the. and dated 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 teammate alexander ovechkin but due to a dispute tell where a contract with 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 swapped the russians still city for them eric and one to keep their eyes alongside then up and coming canadian sidney crosby and it seems like the rink is wet enough to hold both hockey giants. and we have. 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 could 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 in a big star who's 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 per year it is for the near future. where you know i haven't won a lot with a national side for me it's a great honor to play for my country all the greats like mario lemieux and wayne

gretzky one limpid gold crosby's already grab gold too so i'm determined to win the olympics and not only in sorting one medal is never enough. despite malkin's many on ars the star player remains is twenty eight forward almost reserved person while still greedy for victories on the ice at the age of twenty five the career of the big wins for it is just starting and speak to others both in north america and in russia should enjoy his skills for many years to come. his name by that of r.t. . and that's all things must ask. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.
