back here's a recap of the top stories here on our washington takes the first step to approving the long awaited fields would increase the u.s. death limit just a day before a potential devastating to the whole. global stocks rally as a self imposed crisis in america is of confidence in the u.s. economy's reputation as the world's creditor has been severely damaged. russia says u.n. action could help bring an end to violence in syria but once again excessive that could lead to a libya style. yes the e.u.

what american sanctions being enforced against a basket are only making matters worse. the voices of tens of thousands of banti government protesters and calling for the prime minister to stand down are going on reported by the international media the demonstrations to magic social justice are the biggest the country has seen in decades. and next we take you back in time and space to the famous apollo thirteen mission which failed to land on the moon because of a technical failure but all three naso crew members managed to return to earth safely and artie's sophie shevardnadze caught up with the commander of the mission for his recollection of the events that's up next.

jim well it's a great pleasure and honor to have you with us it's nice to be here now you've started out for them twice without ever lending on it is that fair well the first time was deliberate we were really going to test out the navigation communications suitable landing spots for the people who would make the first lady thirteen the course was supposed to be the third lunar landing mission as you probably know we had the explosion and so we had to go around the boat and come back home again fortunately we were successful in doing that. jr morn walk in your dreams oh yes i've been before the flight i would try to figure out what i would be doing there at a place called from mile but after i came back i never really dreamed about it after that i mean once i was you know safely back on earth i just forgot about it when you spoke about the moon you spoke of fast the loneliness that was going

spiraling out to get homesick to join to go back no as a matter of fact we were around the bull in an eight and going round of thirteen we were still sort of attached to the earth but we did have this idea of being you know. away from the earth and separated from the earth and although i have to admit that when we look back at the earth and we could put our thumb up to the window and everything behind our thought our earth was was disappeared and everything that we'd ever known was behind or thought it was that's sort of a usual feeling a feeling of how insignificant really we all are back on earth if i could put my thumb up and hide everybody. and of course that incredible shot of the earth right through that's when the first to show us they aren't i think for everyone it has

a special personal meaning what does that shot signify to you. while i think of that one photograph which was not over here you know my personal impression of what we saw but to everybody who saw that picture and is perhaps one of the most famous photographs of the last century. again that we are a. spaceship here on earth and we're all astronauts whether we want to be or not and we have to live and work together if we are to survive thank you guys we're very religious all three of you on apollo eight you had very strong religious convictions right well we did but we were not that religious to know that. you know that that we were violating the sanctity of heaven. because god is with us on earth as it is with us just two hundred forty thousand miles away around the

moon and so as a as a better fact you know in part away we were read the first ten verses of genesis problem the old test but we did that because it reality the old testament was the basis of the three basic religions. on earth islam christianity and judaism and so when we were thinking about what to say being the first three people around the moon what can we say and we said a lady who was the wife of a adieus paper reporter said read the first ten verses this will appeal to most of the people who will be listening to you. and most of the earth is not christian other religions too so that's what we did to appeal to the greatest a lot of people that were listening to the whole science behind this saturn launch was

very cold and calculated and you sat so many times in your interviews that we're just three guys sitting up five million pounds of high explosives and three in biles away from everyone and we had faith it's just a question of when you go in such a mission how much face how much does faith matter can you only be guided by reason or you have to have faith well you have to have faith you have to have faith that. the faith that god would be on your side is faith in your fellow band who built that saturn five who built the spacecraft who designed the trajectory of the launch that everybody do what they're doing here and that everything had to ok you would never get on top of a saturn five booster if you didn't have faith of the people who go for it what would you say is the right stuff what does it take for someone to go in space i

think the people who are astronauts are cosmic. they are people who live on the. people who like to explore. people who like to see something different who like to open up new doors and these are the people that you know fired as astronauts cause and i said the people who are here today at the starbucks festival that who have to see the earth as there really is and joy what they had done and when god gary made his first flights and one nine hundred sixty one year old already rejected by knots that once how do you feel about the twelfth of april nine hundred sixty one well i figured that ever since but dick and we knew what they were doing. that. the russians would put somebody up into space. quite early on and we were tempted to try that the we were behind as

a matter of fact what really woke up the american people it was but they could make hundred fifty seven up to that time we didn't realize just how far danced at that titus livius were he had rocket technology and then we got started a course they had developed their booster to put yuri up into it and it's amazing. throughout the years. the booster the locket that put up your kid karen is the same one today with a lot more bought of occasions that are putting astronauts and cosmonauts it to the international space station this is like the old story of the tortoise and the hare we seem to be the hair we build a rocket and then we don't belittle go to something else we build this and now our

shuttle is stopping this year whereas the russians have taken a different tack they build what they have learned and keep expanding that and pretty soon now that the turtle has funny test up and. the surpassing the here what has been carrying the present to you what to symbolize to you well i think gareth why is this a biology is something that. has really brought the little closer together i mean he was able to circle the have a gate to the earth and tie everything together and i think that it was a breakthrough. a challenge that that he has really become a symbol and it is that really a shape that he he bet is is devised so early in life now when you were going to fly to the moon and the second time where you anxious i said yes i was anxious because i wanted to do something i had always planned on doing and i was

the backup on apollo eleven so if bill armstrong had become sick or broke a leg or something like that i was all set to go but i wanted to actually care sort of close up my fly space career plan and now of course your returns you have to control the space ship manually and cap make all the calculations right there when did you know that you're safe. well we only knew we were safe when. we saw water splashing over the window but spent we were back of the ocean and the spacecraft that saw some of that because every time from from the time of the explosion all the way back there were certain crisis that we had to overcome including whether the persians will put up because the pyrotechnics to put it out the parachutes have been cold soaked for four days and we did know where the the

explosions the charges were put out the persian weather through your mind when you don't really know what are you going to lend or you going to explode is it are you still mobilized that you're not even you know you have time to fear that what goes through your mind at that point while i think our our training has got us in a position and a mindset that do we look at things one one step at a time our minds are concentrated on what the next step is going to be what we have to do and we don't worry about failure. we'll worry about that if a failure occurs but not until that time so we're pretty straightforward what we're doing and thinking about our tires did you really say houston we have a problem the true story which seems to be. going around all the time never never die is that when the explosion occurred jack's weicker

first said. hey houston. we have a problem here. the capsule communicator keep back and said say again please i then said here's to we have had a problem that this rules true story about that of course where they made the movie . they had tom hanks say and he said we have a problem to ask questions when i think of austin ought to retire now you are a successful businessman but many of them couldn't really find their place in life after they retired from active duty a lot of them suffered clinical depression alcoholism why is that why is it that when austin nuts retire they can always find the right way on earth. well i think it's very similar to that old saying that after you've been perry what else is there you know. it is it's

a high point in everybody's life and then when that high point stops and you come back down to living a normal life again a lot of times it's hard to recover because many people say yes i understand what you did but what can you do for me now and so. to be successful you have to always look forward not to look backward yes i went to the moon twice i made four spaceflights that was of the past what am i doing now what how can i satisfied my life and enjoy life and the season and so a lot of us of course traveled i'll have to look at the earth after we've seen it so far out what do you think of the moon when you see it now well it doesn't have the romance for me that i that had what before i went to the moon. i was pretty close to it right now sometimes i wish i could go back and actually big the landing

but but that is way in the past when you go as a space tourist maybe as a space tourist. now i think i would if i could just go around the earth i've been there all the time and still that doesn't doesn't thrill me anymore but. that maybe there be some commercial operations where people start you know going take in their own honeymoons on trips around the round the earth thank you very much for this interview and my pleasure take care.

washington takes a first step to approving the long awaited deal to increase the u.s. death limit just a day before a potential devastating default. of global stocks rally as a self-imposed crisis in america is a burden but confidence in the u.s. economy is reputation as the world's creditor has been severely damaged. russia says yuan action could help bring an end to violence in syria but it was against excessive pressures that could lead to a libya style intervention experts stress the e.u. what american sanctions being enforced against a basket are only making batteries worse. and the voices of tens of thousands of anti-government protesters in these row calling for the prime minister to stand down are growing on reported by the international media the demonstrations to big

architect paramount to get boosting the sport's elite for the second straight time for the fifth leg of the two thousand and eleven european championships. the reigning champ until no third in group to be the fastest driver during set of a school vacation and start race once from full position although this season's leader you can count was quick to would take this one year and lead the way to fourteen let actions soon turned into a deal between the two with the spanish fire while in melting the german ice in a thrilling phenolic abutted taking the vantage of a slight mistake but in snatching victory in the dying seconds of the race i watched the porch. to see if they make a mistake at the end i happy he made them say yeah and i was pulling a short break so the drivers could recover and so could the trucks they were back

in the full race two which is going to the competition regulations for the top eight start in their birth order and perfect opportunity to shine but built with foot in the first event of the day germany's mark was strike was keen to take his chance and win while russia's biggest hope in the sport looks on that it will finish both races in the ninth place pretty disappointing for the thirty nine year old would claim his first victory in spain earlier this year but far from fulfil his potential in front of his home ground now you. i would say performing on home soil is a bit harder for me it's about the honor of responsibility you want to produce your best make your fans happy and i also try to share my time with the fans who want a photo with me or sign a poster so it cuts both ways however there were still to move racist schedule for sunday so still time to set the record straight to keep them to the date race three
