welcome back you're with us here live from moscow with me rory sushi a recap now about top stories now the u.s. house of representatives swings behind the debt limit bill to avoid default all of the criticism that america still faces harsh times ahead of a kind of a recovery but despite the compromise deal the legislation is now expected to clear the senate and then president obama's desk. nato members press for tough u.n.

action against syria's government in response to escalating violence but russia valance to block any resolution leading to a libya style interference. and israel is seized by a tidal wave of antigovernment protesters demanding a sweeping economic reforms but demonstrators complained summer of discontent is largely being passed over by the international media. trying visit headlines who are not seeded to stay with us next we take you back in time and space to the famous apollo thirteen mission which did fail to land on the main due to a technical glitch however all three crew members did return safely to earth so we should say caught up with the missions commander for his memories of the events.

it's a great pleasure and honor to have you with us it's nice to be here where you started out for the moon twice without ever length is that fair well the first time was the deliberate we were merely going to test out the navigation of the communications for suitable landing spots for the people who would make the first lady and thirteen of course was supposed to be the third lunar landing mission and as you probably know we had the explosion and so we had to go around the boat to come back home again fortunately we were successful in doing that. here moonwalk in your dreams oh yes i've been there before the flight i would try to figure out what i would be doing there at a place called from our all 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 past the loneliness that was inspiring.

to you can't homesick because you want to go back. no as a matter of fact when you're around the bill of eight and going right on thirteen we were still sort of attached to the earth the re did have this idea of being you know. away from be earth and separated from the earth and although i have to admit that they were we look back at the earth and we can put our thumb to the window and everything behind our earth was was disappeared and everything that we've ever known was behind or thought of 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 thought up and hide everybody. and of course that incredible shot of the earth right think that's where the first to show us they are and i think for everyone it

has a special personal meaning what does that shot signify to you well i think of that one photograph which was not over here a my personal impression of what we saw but to everybody who saw that picture and it's perhaps one of the most famous photograph of the last century. again that we are a. space ship here on earth and we're all astronauts whether we want to be or. we have to live and work together if we are to survive and you guys were very religious. all three of you on apollo eight he had very strong religious convictions right well we did but we were not that religious to know that. you know that there were violated there 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 a part away we were rid of the first ten verses of genesis the old tested but we did that because it reality the old testament was the basis of the three basic religious. earth islam christianity and judaism and so when we were thinking about what to say being the first three people around the boom what can we say and we said a lady who was the wife of a dues paper reporter said read the first of verses this will appeal to most of the people who will be listening to you and most of the earth is not christian it's other religions too so that's what we did to appeal to the greatest

a lot of people that were listening to the step the whole science behind the saturn launch was very cold and calculated and you set up so many times nearing change that we're just three guys sitting up five million pounds of high explosives and three in piles away from everyone and we have faith it's just a question of when you go in such a mission how much face how much to space matter can you only be guided by reason or you have to have faith well you have to have faith and you have to have faith that sivits and the good faith that god will be on your side is faith in the. or fellow band who built that set or fire who built the spacecraft who designed the trajectory of the launch that everybody do with their to do and that everything would be ok you would never get on top of a saturn five booster if you didn't have faith of the people who go for what you

see is the right stuff what does it take for someone to go in space i think the people who are astronauts are cars and it's. 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 i'm outside the people who are here today at the stardust festival that who have this and see the earth as there really is an added joy with the one time gary made his first flights and one nine hundred sixty one year already rejected by nasa once how do you feel about the twelfth of april nine hundred sixty one well i think aired that ever since but because we knew what they were doing. that that there were the russians would put somebody up into space. quite early on

and we were tempted to try that there were be hired as a matter of fact it was really woke up the american people it was public and i think fifty seven up to that time we didn't realize how far danced at that time sylvia sorer had rocket technology and then we got started of course they had developed their booster to put your ear it to it and it's amazing. throughout the years. the booster the rocket the put up your it carol. is the same one today with a lot more modifications that are putting astronauts and cosmonauts it to the international space station this is like the old story of the poorest and the here we seem to be the here we build a rock has said then we build the building who go to something else we build this

and our shuttle is stopping this year where as the russians have taken a different tack they build both the word and keep expanding that and pretty soon now put the turtle as funny kissed up to the surpassing the here quite often carrying the present team want to see the last team well i think if you care it's like is this a biology is something that. has really brought the little closer together i mean he was able to sort of the have a gate to the earth and tie everything together but i think it was a breakthrough. a challenge that that he has a really. simple and it is. a really a shame that he you bet is it is to buyers so early in life you know when you were going to fly to the moon and the second time were you anxious i c s 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 a broken leg or something like that i was all set to go but i wanted to actually cure sort of close up my fly space career plan you know now of course here returns you have to control the space ship manually and cap make all the copulations right there when did you know that you're safe. well we already knew we were safe where. we saw water splashing over the window but spent we were back of the ocean every spacecraft had that sought to solve that because every time from from the time of the explosion of all the way back there were certain courses that we had to overcome including whether the persians will put up because they pyrotechnics to put out the parachutes have the cold soap for four days and we didn't know whether the the explosions of the charges were put out the persian

mother through your mind when you don't really know when you can know lambden or even explode is it are you still mobilizing eat you not even you don't have time to fear that what goes through your mind at that point and well 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 you know failure. we'll worry about that if a failure occurs but not until that time so we're priest straight forward what we're doing and thinking about are 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 where the explosion occurred jack striker.

first said. hey houston. we have a problem here. the capsule communicator came back and said say again please i then said he used to we have had a problem and that's his rules from the story about that of course where they made the movie. they had tom hanks say and use that we have a problem kill ask questions. when i think of austin austin retired now you are a successful businessman but many of them couldn't really find their place in life after the fate i retired from active duty a lot of them suffered pinnacle depression alcoholism not means that why is it that when often it's retired they can always find the right way on earth. well i think it's very similar to that old saying that after you good perrie what else is there you know. there is it's

a high point in everybody's life and then when that high point stops and you go back to live a normal life again a lot of times it's hard to recover because many people will say yes i understand what you did but where can you do for me now and so. to be successful you have to always look forward not to look backward yes i wear to the bone twice i've made four spaceflights that was of the past what am i doing about what how can i satisfy my life and enjoy life there and sees that and so a lot of us of course travel over to look at the earth effortlessly that so far what do you think of the moon when you see it now well it doesn't have the roll bands for me that i would have before i went to the moon. pretty close to it right now sometimes i wish i could go back and actually break the landing but you know as

a space tourist maybe as a space tourist yeah. now i think i would if i could just go around the earth i've been there all the time and so that there's a there's this will be added or put that maybe there be some commercial operations where people start you know going to could read their honeymoon trips around the round the earth thank you very much for this mission for my pleasure take care.

all bring you back to the list of. motor sports and two thousand and six mo that should be champ and making hayden's found out what it's like to take to the track on four wheels the thirty year old given a few tips from ex formula one man david coulthard in amos eight is a d.c.m. car the kentucky kid of course familiar with a crowded garage until the tires a little bigger than he is used to on his motorbike because then hayden's time to get behind the wheel of the german speed machine and burn some travel with culver and as copilot hayden though having a few difficult especially the car was so much safer and that in his usual rides there merican who sits seventh at the moment stated after was him like to compete in the dark last spot for now the differences are too great from his day job. to break compared to a motorcycle with the wheels and the downforce the you can brake much steeper than

that would. go with forwards or the we often see that's the one where the foreground more so i like the freedom to be able to use my body and move around more in the same you're locked down you're not going anywhere so that was. not a comfortable. and finally it's more of a sport of a more heavy duty to ride see germany's yohimbe hong has extended his overall lead at the european truck racing championships the competition hitting the smiley on screen for the second straight here over the weekend. poor in speed only one of these trucks gear up to one hundred sixty kilometers an hour and could have done. even pastor if they hadn't been restricted whether a jewish ns of the european truck racing championships the high octane action which hit russia over the last weekend this mine's green the two year old track designed

by famous formula one architect paramount to get posting the sports elite for the second three time for the fifth leg of the two thousand and eleven european championships. the reigning champion until noble thirty proved to be the fastest driver during saturday's will pick asian and start the race one from full position although this season's leader of your in hand was quick to were take this one year and lead the way to fourteen lead actions and turned into a deal between the two with the spanish fire while in melting the german ice in a thrilling finale of the third taking the vantage of a slight mistake by hand and snatching victory in the dying seconds of the race i was staying the course very bad all the lads to see if they make a mistake. and i happy he made them say yeah i was there a short break so the drivers could recover and so could the trucks they were back on the track to which according to the competition regulations so the top eight

start in the reverse order a perfect opportunity to shine but those who'd filled in the first event of the day germany's mark was all strike was keen to take his chance and win while russia's biggest hope in the sport aleksandr of finished both races in the ninth place pretty disappointing for the thirty nine year old who had claimed his first victory in spain earlier this year but far from fulfilled his potential in front of his home crowd. i would say performing on home soil is a bit harder for me it's about the added 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 two more races scheduled for sunday so still time to set the record straight the key event of the day race three
