in one of the most serious space incidents in years a russian soyuz rocket failure forces a two man crew to the international space station as the capsule crashes back down to a. oh i don't know she did a. little bit for a good. russian and cosmonauts alexi all chin and american astronaut nick hague both arrived back where the journey started in kazakhstan as a bike and off to the near death experience. and it's been a real emotional roller coaster for relatives some have already embraced their loved ones again and other family members and left went to party talks exclusively

to the wife of the russian cosmonauts about home tough experience. he was in was not going to get so you can do it in front. of the cosmos are prepared to get trained but the wife just stay down here and worry. and mess ten rocket launch that was supposed to make it into the i assess now there was some trouble with the rocket and they had to make an emergency capsule landing a military parachute was deployed and emergency services arrived at the scene within ninety minutes of their landing and let's take a look at the timeline of events that led up to this.

we were at the launch site doing live coverage of so i use m s ten's blast off into the cosmos earlier today and at the beginning things seemed according to plan we saw the rocket go into the sky the tourists that were watching friends and family

other journalists they were taking pictures smiling clapping congratulating the crew on their successful blast off into the sky but then we started getting signs and unconfirmed reports that something was wrong for something that hasn't happened in over thirty years it's really a miracle that these two came out on injured and alive donald corder r.t. baikonur. well those involved have had a hiring experience it's hard to imagine what farming friends of the crew have been going straight some of their relatives have already met with the cosmonauts while others are still waiting on a whole course is a stall city for us where the crane will eventually the tent. name student we've seen today is of course of the last one took place in nine hundred eighty s. some sort of emergency landing which put lives at risk nevertheless when it does happen that obviously hits the headlines it becomes the top story of the day and it's also of course extremely stressful and tough for the families who are waiting

hundreds of miles down below for but all clear there was only three cosmonauts and astronauts in such launches going up to the i.s.a.'s today those only two alexi of the russian cosmonaut forty seven years old a left turn and colonel in the air force reserve this was his second flight into space or rather second attempted flight into space and forty three year old nick cage american astronaut with nasa he's a colonel in the u.s. air force this was meant to be his maiden flight and what a flight it turned out to be understand there in good health they're having their vital signs monitored in a hospital in kazakhstan of shit and has already met his mother who was that he was pictured hugging her earlier we managed to catch up with his wife who is here waiting at the space center for the eventual cosmonauts and. i watched the launch on t.v. and then i got the news from my neighbors so you can understand my feelings at the

time it was hard but the support of the team my friends my relatives they supported me so much you can be ready for that cosmonauts are prepared they get trained but the wives just stay down here and warry after an hour and a half i was able to talk to him he called and said that he was ok and we're going to see each other soon of course this is somewhat of a miracle but i want to see think you to the rescue team who designed the scape system thanks to that the crew returned alive and not injured. while we're about thirty five kilometers as we said outside moscow what star city here this is where the cosmonauts the astronauts will. a roy from kazakhstan it's about three and all for else what from now once they leave the assessment sense of what's the medics upset them over and declared unfit to come but kid family felonies always seen here i will give you any updates of course as they come in all those astronauts

cosmonauts condition as and when they land back in moscow expect to leave roach now retired. an international space station commander he went through what could have caused spirits for those on board. i flew on to the space station aboard a soyuz rocket myself came back in this were used capsule on my fourth mission and so you know kind of brought me back to what it's like being in that vehicle and imagining going through this kind of an emergency aboard but as you heard from the transmissions the crew was very calm very professional and they did everything is actually right and so first and foremost of course we're all very pleased that the crew is safe and hopefully they're able to walk away from from the landing site and now it's just a matter of the investigation determined what happened what corrective actions he taken in and then recertifying the vehicles for launch. even though

it's early to speculate based on what i saw on the replays of the launch coverage right after the four strephon boosters separated there seem to be more debris coming off suggesting perhaps that one or more of the strap ons may have hung up and may have caused some kind of a structural damage to the core and then as soon as you heard soon there after the it war was declared and. the crew was instructed to use the hand controller to engage the ballistic mode. in a case of this ballistic natural you don't know where you're going because you know you didn't predict when you're going to have a problem have to abort and so that's why you just go into the spin mode this ballistic mode and you just take what you get you generally know the circle about where you're going to land and they kind of have some helicopters staged along the way for this kind of contingency mess why the helicopters were able to get to them pretty quickly and get them out of the capsule. the risks of spaceflight they made

all the more evident stay put any of my colleagues kevin owen and. went over the possible faults of the incident and by co and what probably saved the lives of the crew on port. the design goes all the way back to nine hundred fifty seven that was the first prototype kind of working thing of a rocket that moved the first satellite man made satellite into space a groundbreaking event then through several iterations it became the way it is right now the current version of it was introduced back in two thousand and one and this is nothing like the original change that is it has changed quite a bit for example of the space the urgency module that saved the lives of the of those two men today was introduced only nineteen sixty seven i think so ten years after the initial design and knows no before that there was no escape known in the first man you're a good guy or in fly you fly it when he flew into space there was no no way back

for him and so the emergency rescue system detaches fires of the rocket moves the crew as far away from the rocket as possible starts the ballistic descent on earth then it detaches itself from the capsule and the parachute opens. it opens and well that's not how it's sort of grown when they get there it's no different from landing when they return from the i says but during the old flight nasa told us they experienced g. force of around six or seven which is more than twice the norm but still as we've been explained as we've been explained by the as we've been explained by the former cosmonaut here it's nothing special really it's not out of the ordinary so to speak because they are trained for this sort of this sort of image as you can even look remarkably well. retired the russian cosmonaut alexander it can

gave us his expertise on this is at best an incident. when a launch vehicle lifts off the force is about three to three point five g. that's not too hard to handle when the emergency safety system kicks in it could increase to seven g. but that isn't too intense for a human we're prepared for about eight g. or even more talking about how they felt at the beginning the forces continue and then after one hundred twenty seconds the boosters broke at that moment they experienced gravity most likely in a second or two the emergency engine start working that's when the force increases rapidly the rest of it is quite routine a spacecraft is divided into modules and a cap sure lands using its parachute everything is pretty much automated the commander may not be in control of decisions he may not realize what's just happened as soon as something happens with the launch vehicle and it's

a dangerous device it can explode at any time but automatic systems are reliable and can save the crew it's unacceptable to wait for human reaction to respond in this way the main rockets life in this case ended the moment the emergency system started its fall and it hasn't gone up enough to burn into the atmosphere when the boosters are being separated there are two possible options the first stage boosters either haven't attached at all or have to attach to and hit the second stage boosters i'd say the first scenario is more likely in this case they can't proceed with their mission. now says representatives said that the u.s. space agency will launch its own investigation into the rocket failure but stressed that it will be in close cooperation with russia. from with regard to the investigation when you look back at the history of failures on the russian side we

always work side by side closely with the russians as they perform their investigation they give us the insight we need in order to be able to go through our own process here our own readiness review process that that culminates with a flight readiness review a number of experts we heard from say space flight still carry serious risk despite advancing technology. think this is a launch to say oh this launch today is a big lesson to the engine is and us they need to reassess what happened with this or why it fell and how they can prevent this from happening in the future no doubt . tests will be made to make sure this won't happen again you know not a lot of pressure i believe on us to make sure things like this don't happen it was a manned action which couldn't risk life so this is something we see take into consideration and many other space agencies will learn from this is all to make sure there's something to them of course we need to learn the details about what exactly happens and how they safely got away with it but i i am assuming that

a major part of that has to do precisely fit with the fact that they are well prepared to even though the show you say it's been one of the most reliable rockets around and for many years nothing has happened it remains a risky business and if you make for example the comparison with aviation which is much safer if you look at the statistics even there the few times that something may go wrong the crews are excellently prepared so i'm i'm pretty sure that's no different here. on to other news now when it comes to policing the web google thinks it knows what's best for us and the company b. thing called the good sense that outlines how it and other internet giants are treating facebook and twitter at grappling with how they censor content on that it's done for good and he has the details. free speech on the web.

ok google will you click like or is it a dislike i'm literally asking their bosses right now there is no way they'd turn their back on the solemn right for freedom of speech you'd think well some of what the guys at google have been busy with lately has been leaked. the report with a bunch of guidelines at the end is called good sense or get it they're really discussing censorship for our own good and point out that the concept of free internet i mean the online world as we've known it is utopian what why one of the reasons is the popularity of a german opposition party alternative for germany and pretty much the whole gig once controversial voices have been voted by like minded individuals and making their way offline so google is a platform for everyone could be

a utopia too now the trend is to create what they call well order spaces for safety and civility with little regard for free speech. in which people are starting to realize that private companies control whether or not their speech comes down their report comes with a few visuals this one tells you that tech giants used to be neutral and now they've shifted to being politicized editors and publishers well you asked ford and you didn't yes you did it's all in the report governments would also love tech giants to get more responsible among other winners advertisers who'd be protected from anything controversial you post with a flag any of my stuff is controversial i haven't posted much since my college days how far as the next web evolution step when users will be. told what to post keep

reading the report and you'll see it coming companies should put their foot down when it comes to users this is the type of speech we would like to see here and you are part of a community when you join us google bosses once promised to come up with a way to make politics better just after mr trump made himself mr president i certainly find the selection deeply offensive and i know many of you do too i think it's worth be very vigilant in thinking about all these issues what can we do to lead to. maybe a better quality of governance decision making and so forth we had our t. wrote an official ok google request on the report they didn't confirm or deny the document existed but gave an update on their commitments committed to free expression supporting the free flow of ideas is cool to a mission. well we have developed our own content policies we enforce them in a politically neutral way and so seven out of ten americans think tech giants do

censor political views hate good sense or google they're just not buying it i'm not surprised at all this is pretty much confirmation for many of us who have been talking about consistently engage in this issue ship of conservative viewpoints the piece the document that was released to pretty much outlines it all is a lot of opinion in there things that they consider to be all right extremist are simply just normal things average people talk about a lie but you see the political by states in google they say one thing publicly but obviously they do different things privately is all about who's given a platform who's allowed to be heard and those that are heard are the minority and they're giving they're given loud voices by google facebook twitter because google facebook twitter agree with their particular points of view therefore they will be

the ones that are hurt. british m.p.'s calling for an inquiry into reports that some doctors in the u.k. have been secretly charging couples for choosing to decide sex of the child gender and through in vitro fertilization is legal in pretty only on the grounds of medical reasons. we are confident that the vast majority of the u.k.'s for the two it equinix do not recommend sex selection either tomo brought how that would take allegations of sex selection seriously and will investigate and in specific cases brought to all attention according to british media couples have paid up to fourteen thousand pounds for the illegal procedure several senior doctors have allegedly set up appointments at private clinics in the u.k. for clients and they then complete the medical treatment to brought in countries like cyprus and the u.a.e. we spoke to u.k. t.v. star don. lloyd who has been criticized for her decision to use the procedure in the us. i think obviously some people got angry because there is women out there

who can actually have children i think they were angered because they think i should just love the children of god are which i totally understand and i do love them the my everything my kids and my life for i think if this science is out there for me make other people choose to use gender selection in a way where as if i was having my first child i would never want to pick the sex of the baby i was quite happy to go along and for whatever the health of the baby selflessly the most important thing. for obviously for me having four children and them or be in boys i just couldn't grow old and feel like a car that mother daughter relationship. we discussed this issue with the political activist kate smith weight inches in clinton who's the founder of comment on reproductive ethics which focuses on ethical dilemmas in reproduction. there are

medical conditions which either only affect boys or only affect girls and it's actually fairly standard practice in lots of places around the world for couples who have a family history of those kind of conditions to be given i.v.'s and given the opportunity to select the gender of child that is less likely to suffer from those conditions i think we would all take steps to try and make sure that children were less likely to have problems later in life in all sorts of different ways the idea of just choosing the sex of your child based on a whim i think you know i think to me it sounds horrifying but what we should be asking really is the question what kind of cultural reliving in if people have a really strong feeling if people really really only want a boy should we be forcing those people to have a girl do we want a girl raised in a family that really only wants a boy and in a culture that evidently values boys much more strongly by rejecting the embryo you don't want on the basis of that six and i think that six discrimination give women the vote i believe in women's rights etc i think women are quite capable of

accepting a pregnancy and do not need to go into this nonsense of i want to boy or i want a girl you can suggest i might like one i have five lovely sons i might have at some stage four wouldn't it be nice to have a girl i've now got four lovely granddaughters you know boys and girls in my opinion are absolutely equal and i don't think you should do anything deliberate two to make. a choice because the price is that you need to do is to discard the embryos of the wrong six when i v f is done it is absolutely standard to create more embryos than you intend to implant the spare embryos are normally kept in a fridge freezer or whatever to be used in the future if they're wanted every year lots and lots of embryos are discarded because people have i.v.'s and actually don't want to have ten children they want to have one or two children it's absolutely standard if you are against discarding embryos then you are against i.v.'s and you welcome to campaign. on that front person i think it's

a very fantastic process and it's brilliant that it's available to couples and if couples have a strong feeling about what the woman does or doesn't want to be pregnant with what you want what she wants to go on and it is inevitable that they're going to follow up when you're choosing what schembri are you want you're going to analyze which is male which is female you're making a choice and this is what i'm saying i don't accept that because in choosing my eyes i'm not going to even get into indiana balti on many occasions these issues come to light because some conditions pass through the male rather than the female and and families that have had didn't even diseases go down the ivy if root in order to to to see how they're going to solve that problem but just in a on a purely basic choice position you cannot just randomly choose one without discriminating against the other. around up of the news for now the back of the top of the hour with more but right now is the kaiser report.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race move his arms off and spearing dramatic development is only going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

this is crude oil. so they need to actually physically pulled it out of the ground he would have well well. there's a lot of money with the oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make a hundred thousand dollars a year. there's an issue. here in the. they were told sixty dollars a day hard work well work it's not easy work and so they want to relieve their stress of how do they relieve their stress these men that outweigh these men that comfort these many. people have been murdered up here people been raped they're massive drug issues up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money.

this is the report that we're following the sun are still in california in palm springs thanks to something students has been cooking up maybe she'll talk about i don't know what i want to know so yes we're here at the first world cup of spring conference and it's been amazing we've had so many this is literally the best crypto conference that i've ever attended. and on the organizer i know so i could be biased full disclosure you organize this event. it's been quite amazing and i've learned so much and there will be a lot of the various talks will be available online so you can go online and go look at this just google springs and you'll find some of the stories but you know i

want to look at a few items that have been used mostly truck driven in the past few days while we've been here in palm springs in like close to hundred degree temperature and very dry first this actually doesn't have anything to do a trunk but it's going to lead into a headline about him this is a tweet from the national weather service in los angeles and it's the end of the ward water year like i was saying like in new york i don't know what your problem is but. because we don't have all day you know i'm saying just give it up so the end of the water year which october first twenty seventeen to september thirtieth twenty eighteen precipitation summary and on the color chart that you'll see on full screen you can see we are we down below very very parched conditions in california this year. due to some might say the next headline trumpet ministration sees a seven degree rise in global temperatures by twenty one hundred last month deep in

a five hundred page of byron mental impact statement the trumpet ministration made a startling assumption on its current course the planet will warm a disaster.
