a taste of that. it's going to join us today this is their weekly here on i see a technical failure affecting russia's first interplanetary mission in fifteen years has dealt a huge blow to hopes of getting a better understanding of how the universe evolved there are now fears that the. probe will crash back to earth having never reached its goal. reports now from the baikonur launch station. hopes were high when the phobos rocket was launched from the cosmodrome here in baikonur in kazakstan it was the first interplanetary mission russia hundred launched in fifteen years and there was great hopes that it would help to reveal secrets about the red planet and about how

7:27 am
somewhere the hopes are that it will land somewhere in the sea the rocket is carrying about ten tons of very toxic and highly flammable fuel and there's also a small amount of radioactive material in the equipment on board the chances of it landing on a populated area of very small and the and so what the chances that it will cause any harm but the chance is there and that's what experts at mission control are trying to avoid. reporting right that was a special interview to come here on out so you also other weekends latest sports just stop moments away but before that i'll be back with a recap of the headlines see you soon.
