you. got it from here lou we did have and. this is out international live from moscow my name's kevin know it very good afternoon from me just have four pm here now as you can see just tune to it so you can watch it in maybe for the last couple of hours with the big stories they were covering continuing coverage of that breaking news story from a rocket malfunction earlier forced a manned soyuz launch to be aborted just a few minutes after takeoff all turned out ok though the two man crew had to make an emergency return landing safely seven hundred kilometers away in their capture we got some amazing pictures coming up with for exclusive ones to both the russian commander alexi of chin in the u.s. flight engineer tyler haig said to be in a good condition. right

. before a good. well this just within the last hour this exclusive video of those two guys looking reasonably well as you can see that's the that's the russian on that side and then we'll pan around again the american and that to me too wriggles in the head of cosmos there was very quickly on scene to give them his support to try and chart through the feeling. these are other pictures we've got as well of them the baikonur basis about to get on a plane back to moscow again these exclusive and really new in within the last half hour or so. they're on a plane we think it's going to take them couple of hours to get back now this taken on someone's mobile phone just as soon as they. got to the scene seven hundred

kilometers away from baikonur where the pod came down let's just keep on these pictures a minute because in a second you'll see that paul this is a bit of a distance there we go you'd expect it to look bigger than this maybe but no that is the pause just in front of that helicopter where russian commander alexia cheatin and u.s. flight engineer nick hague got back to earth safely the big white and orange circle parachute get them back at a steeper attridge trajectory we're told than is normal that it makes a very quick decisions here but they ended up back on the kazakstan step then look you can even almost look inside that amazing shots and so much smaller than you actually think it would be for two people to come from. all of it but amazing so that latest story to us doesn't you follow all this as well on r.t. dot com and if you got our up all these headlines becomes your mobile device any way now that crew are now on board a flight in a safe to make their way back to the baikonur cosmodrome because of

a drone that's going to take a couple of hours now on your screens now the first pictures of that crew after the emergency landing both russian cosmonaut alexy of children and the american astronaut nick hague doing quite well considering what they have been through in the last six or so we saw them having some initial checkups and the blood pressure taken and pulse taken just to give him a once over doctors office the very concerned about how they're going to be the say the two men two are in good physical and psychological condition crucially they don't need any special treatment they're now on their way as we say into the first leg of the trip that didn't go to plan that they were on the way to the baikonur cosmodrome they got to meet their family and friends there are also expected imminently in the couple coming hours when they get there to make some statements and to undergo some further examinations the wife of the legacy of chin in told us earlier on she was beside herself with worry. don't you suppose of those like you describe their lives that are. liberal prior. stuff that in that time people are

near the surface just normal or very nobly conscious and years old. than we. look at every issue. the russian soyuz spacecraft was launched a two forty pm local time oh by the way if you just joined us he goes down i was in the studios where he's been covering this now for hours you've got he's going to see them for the latest which will bring you to let me take you through the timeline of what happened there just two minutes after that takeoff a rocket booster malfunction was detected very calmly as you'll hear the crew made a successful emergency landing in central kazakhstan and it hasn't ended in disaster for them patently the two men seem to have only picked up some minor injuries quite an escape the rescue operation began right after the crash landing four helicopters as we saw in those exclusive pictures we bought you as army paratroopers were sent to the area just a lot the cosmonaut extracted from

a pretty tiny capsule not much bigger than somebody standing up and brought in for medical examination well igor was a what a trip this was it should have been. on our first go to him they would go lovely it should have been scientific trip up there to do some work on the ice as some repairs occur at some much needed experiments three d. printer experiments except for except for both those astronauts not sitting on the aircraft should we put it that they wanted to be only could see the disappointment on the americans face certainly after all that training to not get there but of course the other side of it as well they got away with their lives today was the huge huge success of it all isn't it roland either said like a double edged sword really because obviously he saved his life and we do know that it was the crew with that made the call to both the mission and to return to that's what happened so they they see if their lives. he saved their lives and what we know about this is of course on the other side he trained for five years to

get to the us and now instead he's flying to back to the city of baikonur to well we're going to be a flight a flight he flight he did not really expect to take today and in fact we do have a correspondent on site on tees don't quote so was at the launch site to watch the takeoff and he brings the latest. nick haig and the russian cosmonaut aleksei of chin and they've they landed in an emergency capsule military parachutes were deployed somewhere in northern cassock stand. because. we we've been here since days before the rocket launch basically the spirits were very optimistic two days ago starting two days ago when we got here we saw the astronauts at

a press conference giving it talking to the media saying their last goodbye the last goodbyes to their families. preparing for their six month journey in in orbit you know the. astronaut in the cars were not there a ok but when the launch happened we saw it clearly from here everything looked fine the the rocket ascended into the sky several was clapping taking videos. i but one thing that people mentioned hearing about a minute after the the launch was that they heard a sound that a lot of people were saying sounded like the rocket launch itself but far off away . so perhaps that was that was them hearing the emergency capsule back in orbit we

don't know but but basically that's what happened. this all the me while you were witnessing those worlds that the time this happened you were next door and one of the other studios in completely different for a russian channel. what were you doing it was detail of well it was like fifty about an hour long ish slightly less show basically a revolving around the launch of the rocket but in that forty minute wait forty minute laws where you see the channel able is it was here it was the it was going to project of. the russian space agency and broadcast online so that's what happened and so we kind of prepared we talked to the relatives and we talked about the crew and so on and so forth and even spoke to the close up of the o.s.'s yeah indeed we called the two to be of the one cosmonaut left out there in orbit so yeah it was it was kind of exciting but sticking really to the crew that was supposed to fly today and speaking about their experience i mean for example the russian

cosmonaut it's not his first flight it's his second it was supposed to be his second mission and what we know about him is forty seven years old he has experienced in military he's had a military career he was part of the russian air force and so he trained to be a customer nords for ten years he waited for ten years for his maiden flight which took place back in two thousand and sixteen and so now two years later he's back then he spent more than one hundred seventy days out there in orbit so you could call him a very. in this kind of easy somewhat over the over veteran i mean he's not the not the most not the most experienced person but i mean to call him an experienced or a rookie would be it wouldn't be fair. but also but end up. and lee was since he was the commander of this soyuz flights it's only logical to assume that it was his

call to abort the mission as the man in charge and actually before we talked to his relatives he too we he has a small kid we had a kid read recently so we talked to his wife and his mother and they told us they told us about what they feel every time their loved one is traveling is leaving doing their job yeah let's have a listen. there are dealing with a good number that economic prayers only mean i did phone numbers i would've been sick that there were you know there was a whole year or more to my popeye to get you to listen minute of imo to make you some little clip that you get across southeast focus shirt earthman someone you know is in to talk radio cooking the church on sunday don't compress the king seduced him you put them on the animal up in

a show it's evoking the he wouldn't get itchy system would do but they had the command to the truth of who was at his balls in the police or the military you. refer to the shooting would. be a pollutant of some truth that there could be it is atrocious not some of them. of them my man started to look up to the opinion lot of us called coaches with. the a year plus to stay our cool in the game against mr d. most attacks trash number. two that lead to sticking it stayed in us. so and usually matter need to facilitate the quota system as it slows uselessly or that add this to stick to a partially start. new tissue. but i'll have the option to.

give us. a call from your new blue we difficult. we believe is that it's easily survival of survivable yes. we're not getting the translation i thought that might be the case all right so if you could stay put we will come back she will get this translation sorted let's go back to those pictures. let's go back to those live pictures now from one of our outside there we go that's the topalov plane taking off no no this is a plane actually a landing in baikonur i think this is the plane carrying the russian cosmonaut and the astronauts and the rest of the whole crew it has just landed in the city of baikonur so they have been brought back these are live pictures that you're looking at right now so they have been taken back to the well space launch capital as if you've called it kevin right now so they're there. yes and from baikonur they

are supposed to travel to more school and but we think now it's ok so i'm just getting a handle on it because we'll be showing our viewers those pictures where they're getting on the plane. this is no lie those other pictures were from about an hour or so ago but of course where they eventually landed down in like six step to ignore is the seven hundred kilometers which is what it is plane trip and that's what's up now that landed i'm here because previous hours where they started you have eleven o'clock this morning recently we showed you previously we showed you pictures of the crew getting on board the plane and now this is the plane after the journey from that kazakhs small town the all the world really by going to what is easily live pictures we are ready for them is what this is you started covering this what four hours ago. this is the third time i see this happen as a throughout our history. when the function like this during the landing during the

day to takeoff. of course most stormy. going to the why did you feel when this remember that. for that decision. to stop the flights to go back to earth but you might have done well the decision the money's taken automatically but it got up early because individuals the crew members cannot always make this decision so this is the decision is made automatically but when the craft takes off. if it is the force is three point five or four g.'s and sometimes it's up to seven g.'s if the automatic. system isn't comes into action

which i talked about at westmead but we are prepared for a g. and even more so it's ok for us. that we're going to last for what they felt as for what the crew felt first. d.g.'s was table up to six and i went up up up to one hundred and twenty seconds where that money officer which the engine stopped. for me during my shift after that comes the zero gravity what. a second or two after that. and. it was going to start again and. put it where it was going to the g.'s rise and then. the crafts. basically. because you can if you'd stay with us is invaluable to have you in the studio here thank

you for your time and most of us don't have a look at these live pictures now. for a moment if we come back again to get your thoughts look they're back as a say where they started. you know we just saw the head of the russian space agency go down the stairs of from the i guess some of the family and loved ones there are . some emotional hugs i guess they're there i don't know if you go to any visual handle on what some of the partners may have looked like there or not. yeah and we can see emergency we have we have emergency vehicles on site as well of course we could see well while the crew was boarding the craft we could see the walking they were walking themselves so nobody supported them they weren't wheelchair onto the plane so that is a great sign of course that that was the most incredible thing for me personally to see so right now everybody is expecting the crew to go down and i mean doctors are

already there to double check triple check quadruple check their condition and both psychological and physical like to bring alexander in a minute we can translate my question to him here now alexander no money to training. that you can have as a cosmonaut as an astronauts i suppose can totally prepare you for when something doesn't go to plan or are you totally at ease what does it feel like you know when you're in that position and the alarm bells go off. can you ever really be prepared for that. not to it well to do when you are being prepared for emergency situations. but. when i'm on. function with the happens but yes the crew does not take part in any decision making. but almost simply because. it is

all after much. done by the computer and all the signals are received by the computers or. so we are prepared for this to happen we are not trained exactly for this scenario but we are prepared but we heard earlier or maybe that it was the command alexi of chin in that had the final say here so maybe that's not strictly true it was all complete as far as your understanding is it was all computer controlled it was like a little like a nuclear plant when something goes wrong it just happens pantone. don't like it it is done by the computers. the commander maybe didn't even have time to make the decision maybe he didn't even have time to do it to understand what's happening because once something happening is happening with the booster

it's a very dangerous it's going to blow up at any moment that is why we have everything automated which helps us save the crew. so we don't have time to wait until the crew themselves time to do it is somewhere the report said some of the first indications the cosmonauts on the astral had had gone wrong they reported that they felt weightless when they expected to be feeling they were pushed back into this seats that we're hearing is one of the first things they said they must have had a few seconds to maybe work out that it wasn't going right. this is second. when you miles. how is it always supposed to happen in the sequence of events. during the launch. of.

one of the book when this was happening which any of us put in there astronauts cosmonauts are waiting for the first station to be completed. so to begin to actually go so yes she was waiting for some something to happen for the g. force to become a lower this is what was going on for a. little the same time he was. probably expecting if it doesn't happen then something was going to roll and so i thought that was his second flight but this is the first time that he actually sees these system automatic system. in the put out a come in to play an e-mail actually. daily mail that this was a miracle that the system actually. helped. well the

system itself. but what you call the emergency system is a good thing. it's a very good thing because. it can save the crew not just in this situation alone because we had chases children. blows up with the first seconds of the launch and if they survive that that would be truly a miracle but this time it was a simpler situation because. they were able to use the capsule to get down on earth to earth as we continue to show our viewers these pictures from baikonur which is the launch pad earlier this morning where that soyuz took off to the theory was to take these guys and the payload up to the us. just tell me about for our view is not too scientific way how the rockets constructed its layers it starts with propulsion layers the rocket but i guess there's

a payload area then there's an area where the cosmonauts and the astronauts then there's an emergency port is it how is it formed. well it's not that complicated well maybe it is but literally it isn't because you have stages. stage like part of the craft so there are propulsion systems the. tanks filled with fuel and so one once one stage all the fuel is just detaches and the next stage is stage comes into action and this is the way that the craft. gets its velocity as well as for the payload. it is placed at the very top of the craft. this could be anything just a lot could be anything. is feel an engine. yes

. exactly. you know what i would say it's the fuel that takes most of the way to the engines and then the payload so as far as we know at the moment where is the rest the rocket we know that the escape pod as landed in the casket step successfully with the two guys back on board where is the rest of it. well i think it's.
