astronauts of the scape tragedy in their launch for the international space station a rocket malfunction on the soyuz forced the two man crew to abort their mission just minutes after takeoff and the emergency landing left spectators harmony's in total shock. and we have been a tower for this for years now jettisoned. russia's investigative committee says they're looking into whether a violation of safety rules caused the soyuz mishap we can take you through the failed mission using actual footage and animation has what happened.

to. educate a. little. subtle you might say the. least and. egypt. illegal i.

play the lead. early of the crew landed back at the baikonur cosmodrome where that dramatic journey all started at two forty pm local time later they'll be transported to the garden cosmonaut training center install city outside of moscow and if you thought things were going horribly wrong that ninety kilometers above the earth would cause a panic apparently not for this commander. why don't i. remember her. family. the korean members remain under medical surveillance and resting up to arrive back in moscow on friday donald quarto reports from bike know about the events off to the accident. i'm standing here right now in baikonur

cassock stand where earlier today cause may not aleksei off chin in and astronaut nick kagan had to make an emergency landing outside of the site hughes and message had rocket launch that was supposed to make it into the hi s.s. 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. where.

we were at the launch site do. live coverage of so i use 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 by only 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 corridor r.t. by kind of the last. we heard from delta david brown who works at the european space agency's plight a mission he told us the crew had and lucky escape the g. forces experienced was significantly higher than the new zero for launch or re-entry because of the trajectory they had to take it can force blood away from logan it can cause temporary blackouts. there are quite severe consequences so given the conditions in the capsule it's possible that they could they could have come out of this much worse than they did i think we should all be very thankful. these systems which have been designed for just this eventuality

have worked exactly as they've been designed to do while those involved have had a hiring experience it's hard to imagine what family and friends of the crew going through some of the relatives have already met with the cosmonauts while out this is still waiting on. a stall city for us where the truth will eventually return to . name student we've seen today is of course very aware of the last one took place in nine hundred eighty 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 they're in good health they're having their vital signs monitored in a hospital and elective should and has already met his mother who was a white noise 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 cause i'm not sure why. i watched the launch on t.v. and then i got the news from my neighbors 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 in warri 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 say think you to the rescue team who designed the scape system which thanks to that the crew returned alive and not injured. or were about thirty five kilometers as we said outside moscow at 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 center what's the medics upset them over and declared unfit to come but kid. many felony's always seen here will give you any updates of course as they come in all those astronauts cosmonauts condition as and when they land back in moscow we spoke to challenger type nasa astronauts on international space station commander he went through what could have caused and the experience for those on board. i face cation aboard so he struck it myself came back in this well 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 for the special and they did everything jacqui 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 the from the landing site and now it's just a matter of the investigation term and what happened what corrective action to take in in research find a vehicle 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 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 worry and so that's why you just go in with this ballistic mode and you just take what you get you generally know. where you're going to land and they kind of have some helicopters staged along the way for this kind of contingency and that's why the helicopters were able to get them pretty quickly and get them out of the council. man kind of a space exploration has ended in tragedy on the number of occasions over the years with deadly consequences in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven technical problems during the landing of the soyuz one spacecraft resulted in the death of the only cosmonaut on board four years later the soyuz eleven three crew members were killed when their capsule d.

pressurized astronauts had a fortunate escape in one thousand nine hundred five when their launch vehicle malfunction and all those involved survived one hundred eighty six was particularly tragic with all seven crew members on board a challenger spacecraft dying after an explosion and in two thousand and three the space shuttle columbia broke apart during re-entry killing all seven astronauts. the risks of space flights have been made all the more evident today but early and my colleagues kevin owen and. went over the possible faults of the incident in baikonur and probably saved the lives of the crew on board 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 to. a light man made satellite into space a groundbreaking event burned through several iterations it became the way it is right now with the current version of it was introduced back in two thousand and

one and this is a few like the original change that is it has changed quite a bit for example of the emergency module that saved the lives of the of those two men. it was introduced only nineteen sixty seven i think so ten years after the initial design and knows no before that there was no escape no nurse told the first man yuri gagarin fly you fly it when he flew into space there was. no way back for him 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 the big chute opens and well that's what our sort of forces that they hit the ground with when they when they get down it's no different from landing when they return from the i says but during the old flight nasa told us the 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 so it's not out of the ordinary so to speak because they are trained for this sort of this sort of you can even look remarkably well. now says representative said that the u.s. may say agency will launch its own investigation into the rocket failure but stressed that it will be in close cooperation with russia. 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 common it was a flight readiness review. we're tired of russian cosmonaut alexander gave us his

expertise on this soyuz and the incident. when a launch vehicle lifts off the force is about three to three point five g. that's not too hard to handle an emergency safety system kicks in it could increase to seven g.'s but that isn't too intense for a human we're prepared for about eight g.'s 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 zero gravity most likely in a second or two of 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 catch all lands using a parachute everything is pretty much automated the commander may not be in control of decisions he may not realize what's just happened but 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 the tach to and hit the second stage booster i'd say the first scenario is more likely in this case they can proceed with their mission. on to other news now when it comes to placing the web thinks it knows what's best for us at least company briefing called the good sensor at lyons how it and other internet giants including facebook and twitter at grappling with how they set the

contacts and that it's done for our own good. 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 ride

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 stays up or comes down the 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 their. 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 on 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 tea 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 our 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 engaged in this issue of conservative viewpoints the piece the document that was released to pretty much outlines it all is 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 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 heard. pays a calling for an inquiry into reports that some doctors in the u.k. have been sick of and charging couples for choosing the desired sex of the child gender selection through in vitro fertilization is legal in britain only on the grounds of medical reasons we are confident that the vast majority of the u.k.'s for the two it's equinix do not recommend sex selection either to morrow brought how the 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 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 abroad in countries like cyprus and. we spoke to the start on

a lawyer 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 gaar which i totally understand and i do love them the my everything my kids 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 whatever the health of the baby selflessly the most important thing. for obviously for me having for 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 political actors kate smith weight and josephine 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 from 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 it 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 to 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 to make. a choice because the price is that you need to do is to discuss the embryos of the wrong six when i.v. after 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 i'm actually don't want to have ten children they want to have one or two children it's absolutely stan that if you are against discarding embryos then you are against

i.v.'s and you're 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 couples have a strong feeling about what the woman does or doesn't want to be president and would not want what she wants to go on and it is inevitable that they're going to fall off when you're choosing what chamber 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 that already on many occasions these issues come to light because some conditions pass through the male rather than the female and and families that are hard to miss in the diseases go down the i.v.'s route in order 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. news roundup and i will be back at the top of

the hour with more updates but right now is the kaiser report. it's been too many times when i'm seen you know so to see each cities

but those. seven. terrorists you know attacking civilians has been terrible lately i'm all for now than i was a few months back and the deal was a glimmer of hope and in in in all of this. this is crude oil. so they need to actually physically pulled it out of the ground he would have well well well 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. as a minimum there is an issue. here in india. they work well sixteen hours a day hard work well work is not easy. and so they want to relieve their stress and how do they relieve this. these men out these men that comfort these many. people have been murdered up here people been raped there are massive drug issues up here you have a broom you have everything else that comes along with money. or this is a very party that were following the sun who are still in california in palm springs

thanks to something stupid has been cooking up maybe she'll talk about it i don't know what i want to know so yes we're here at the first world cup so springs 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 but 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 and like close to one 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 would say like a new walk i don't know what your book problem is big but you need to split it up there because we don't have all day you know i'm saying this is a good.
