parents, ah ah, a history in the making as the 1st space film crew returns back home to us, russian movie director and then an actress. so back from 12 days of shooting all the international space station here. and i think will bring you the moment of the landing and reactions to the historic flight in office special coverage. to be honest, i feel a little sad to date such a thing happens once in a lifetime. so he was cool. was like a roller coaster and we were just enjoying it. and then our top story, the weekend, i'll tell you, vladimir putin flatly rejects claims that russia is weaponized, single withholding natural gas. europe grapples with high prices. the president also agreed to boost supply to the e u while saying the blog brought the crisis on it. the 2nd bus, the church against the state catholic bishops in france at loggerheads where the

government offer a report reveals hundreds of thousands of crimes against children committed by the clergy. here on our t, we speak to one of the victim. when we came to france, it was 8 and 9 years old. so i spent almost 2 years there until i was sexually assaulted by bernard. pray not what is shameful is not apologize. important atrocity committed in catholic institutions on hundreds with it is 1 pm and sunday afternoon here at moscow. and as it's sunday, it means we're doing the weekly program here. we're not eat with the top stories over the weekend of the day. and in fact, we do kick off this sunday program with a special coverage of a trail blazing russian film cruise returned to us from the international space station. actress julia had a sealed and director clim should panko have spent the last 12 days on board. the i assess making the world's 1st movie shot and all ah

ah, so it is another cosmic milestone. of course, the soviet union sent the 1st man into space, and russia is now picking up the baton by striving for another 1st making a movie in orbit. a hyster moment the crew power shoot down on cassock soil just a few hours ago. oh so it was cool. it was like ro across to and we were just enjoy it. everything was sparkling outside the window. we had a lot of fun with when our

flight was nearly over. we didn't want to return. no, it's such a thing happens, wash in a lifetime. mm. the flight will have taken his toll though. the returning crew will have to go through a rehabilitation process over the next few days, at least. now that spacecraft named after the 1st person in space eureka garn undocked from the international space station at $415.00 a. m. moscow time. so the descent took roughly 3 and a half hours. so it is a unique moment for russia. it's space industry. and of course, the world of cinema. you can see our full coverage of a historic landing on our, our, to youtube channel of it for now. here on the program. here are some highlights. ah ah, the soviet union was 1st to send

a dog into space. then they sent the 1st man and woman. and now russia is aspiring to, yet another 1st, and that is filming a feature movie in orbit and actress. and a film director spent 12 day to the international space station shooting scenes for their space drama. let me introduce you to the crew of this historic flight julia paris sealed right here is a russian film star and stage actress. she has appeared in dozens of films and tv series, and she's also a founding member of the charity foundation. gulch should knock, which helps children with disabilities. she's also the mother of 2 daughters are now to the film's director who also works as a producer and a writer as well. a movie maker through and through mr. clim ship panko. now he's the father of 3 and was recently behind several successful movies in russia, including that of salut cm, more salute 7. now on a lighter note,

she pancho's already set a bit of a record in space because he's not a small man. in fact, he is the tallest russian to ever get into space and go to the international space station ah, in his little groups else is on us, usually middle grades and i got so much nancy with

us. so mutually with dial. it may be leonor manure. good nor gustavo. yeah. sheet. obviously a company we are usually is not just suki at that, even omnia for union youth. unethical interest, all would please yourself, would you fight them all the way is which you use, you know them, you go to someone you most could voice are pretty easily. qu, cost most suv. ah, no, she's ashley mitchell. b. m a. and this is louis. you can use the last month and a time

with when you look at us, you're panko and pedestal. during this pre flight training, of course it was an expedited full month course, but they all went through all, i guess you could say the checks and balances that are required for a cosmopolitan trading. they all passed with flying colors, but when you see them experimenting there in 0 gravity, i mean, it looks a bit of a bumpy right. to be honest with you, but let's take a look now and what set to be the 1st ever feature film made in space. now the movies working title is that of the challenge. now it tells the story of a surgeon played by pet. a sealed who is sent to the international space station to perform life saving hot surgery on a customer who's actually played by real life commander. only debit ski who is as

we speak, guiding the film proved back home. now there were 3000 applicants with lead role, and not all of them were professional actresses at all. well, obviously space travel can be a very risky business that back in 2018. that was a saw. you was rocket failure. that happened right off the lift off, and luckily the crew kept that cool and they came away unscathed after an emergency landing. as we understand that have been no accidents since. now one of the trickiest aspects of space travel is not to the landing, and here is how that is done. a yeah with,

[000:00:00;00] with

there is a lot of a growing anticipation tension over here. and of course, a lot of excitement. i can tell you that a lot of people are here. are filming crews that many, many journalists, and of course, family members of those at the actress, university seals and have film director and film producer cream. she panko, they are family members and friends are also here supporting them their return and am here joined life by the yacht, mother, mother, alpha clean as well as his sister. thank you so much for being here with us. i know you've been here for a long time already. how do you feel normal style in but we were tired even before they went on the flight? it's challenging emotionally. we support them and watch them on those screens behind us. we are very excited and want to send positive energy to them so they can withstand everything. it was an absolutely amazing experience. we had a call from the i assess from space. it's just like a science fiction movie. i think this whole experience is

a great moment of joy for them. and of course for us. what we're looking at here is the b. m. s. 18 space capsule, the parachute in full display for you. now you've got to imagine off the 12 days and space of the international space station that they've got to be feeling a bit of relief right now. because at this point, they know they've been through the most dangerous part of the trip. they successfully flew up to the i assess, successfully spend 12 days their opening at 17 and a half 1000 kilometers per hour. where with very difficult issues with the gravity they made, i guess the 1st feature filled in space can't wait to see the editing job. when they come back down to terra firma and the film crew making its way home now isn't special for just being the 1st to shoot this movie in space. so that pre flight training, it took only 4 months compared with a minimum, 2 year old deal for cosmo in order to do it properly. julia had a sealed and claimed panko passed that medical and fitness exams with flying colors

. and another 1st for the trip is that the sort use spacecraft is being operated by just one command at this time without the help of a professional flight engineer. and it's all seen as helping make commercial space flight ever more viable. as far as we understand, tom cruise is very disappointed in this because in the past year also, tom cruz announced the next the mission impossible movie will be will be working with nasa and a lot of musk and that we filmed in space. but guess what, tom cruz yet just a bit too late. the russians got that 1st. it's not a matter of having some cases for everybody. i've had a sealed and ship hanging. well, we put on to 2 private jets. they'll be whisked back here to the moscow region where for a few weeks, they have to be monitored. that health has to be checked or touched down. we've got a downright hip re select navy sky came out of the landing capsule. then he was followed by glimpse cream, she panko,

and finally we saw you and everyone was smiling and we figure out over here that the landed safely and that everything went according to the plan and everything was fine. now we even watch over here a weaving to the crowd of people that were reaching him there at the landing site in the remote area of catholics. and also it was quite a relief to see us smiling when she got out of the lending capsule. of course, it is quite a journey for them. they spend 12 days in space, filming the 1st feature movie that was shot in space. it is really a historic moment for everyone here. well, it's a resounding success here with our t international and for all those involved in this amazing feature film project, the 1st feature film being filmed in space while the russians are now back on terra firma. and it's a, basically,

a case of mission accomplished the oh, now let's get to some other news shaped the week went off into national and the russian president vladimir putin has rejected. claims that of russia is using natural gas as a weapon and driving up prices. speaking of the russian energy week for him, he also pledged to supply more gas if you are requested. you also stress the importance of the now completed node stream to gas pipeline under the baltic sea, which is still awaiting the final greenlight from europe. success to seattle, but as far as north stream to is concerned, what opponents of the project have claimed that this is not a commercially viable product and rushes pursuing geopolitical motivations. well, you know, this is yet another piece of nonsense. just please pay closer attention to what i'm saying. this route is 2000 kilometers, shorter and quicker to our main consumers in europe than via ukraine. easy. 2000

kilometers more efficient. it's cheaper because transit is cheaper. and it's also cheaper for customers because the transit fee has to be included in the end price in particular for european customers. we are doing this despite our political differences. this year we have increased supply by 10 percent. again, we would very much like them to be grateful. instead of only criticizing us more news, correspondent, the iliad tranquil was there at the russian energy before him here at moscow. his a recap of the opening day. first, a quick look into the context of lot of my food latest remarks during the russian energy week. the global post coven power demand has been on the up. and that led to major changes in the supply chain, 2 major disturbances and even shortages. now, the prices for natural gas futures in europe have absolutely skyrocketed. they went down a bit. but in the meantime, russia was being accused of politicizing the matter. and for years this country has

been under fire for it. infrastructure projects in the field like the north stream to however, this crisis led to reassessment and this is what the russian leader has been talking about for a while. and he also brought up what he called mistakes in the european energy policies that lead to the crisis higher prices on gas in europe, or consequence of a deficit of energy and not vice versa. and that's why you should not shift the blame over the last 10 years. step by step systematic flaws were introduced into the european energy system. and they lead to a massive energy crisis. for any market, stability and predictability are important. and russia flawlessly fulfills its contractual obligations to our partners, including our partners in europe. we, in short guaranteed uninterrupted gas deliveries to europe. we have every reason to believe that this year we will reach record levels of gas deliveries on the global market. when prices are volatile, when they're going through the roof,

what can help with that extra supplies? president prudent said that there was not a single occasion when rushes energy joined gas problem refused a request from europe for additional natural gas exports. and when mr. brewton was asked a straightforward question whether moscow has ever used the energy sector as a political weapon. his answer was straightforward. no, want to ask you about it directly. has russia been use energy as a weapon? russia is not using any weapons. if you've been paying attention, as for the economy where we're using weapons in what conflicts are we taking part and for the economy, this is not something we tend to use. this is what i call a politically motivated talk. there's nothing to support it when it comes to saying that we use energy as some kind of weapon at the end of the day. i guess the question is, how can you expect europe to believe your reliable energy partner when you're not supplying that energy via the pipeline was if you're a beautiful woman. but i'm saying one thing to you and you're saying

a different thing to me as if you haven't heard what i said, well mister president with what was the same point was you and you said that you were not supplying gas through pipelines to europe, but actually you are mistaken, you are mistaken. and all of those who feed on the information they receive, we are actually increasing our supplies to europe because prom increase supplies by 10 percent. and overall russia increase them by 15 percent. we have increased gas supply through pipelines by 10 percent and increased l. n. g supply by 13 percent. we are increasing but we're not decreasing our gas supply to europe. the number one ingredient in mr. perkins recipe for the volatility in prices. not to come back. any time soon, that is a long term contracts when gas prices aren't fixed, but they depend on the current market situation and the oil prices. by the way, what's a major cause for concern for us?

some very important european politicians is the transit of russian natural gas through ukraine beyond 2024. well, lot of our boot and said that russia is ready to keep that in place. as long as it knows how much gas europe is willing to buy. and the future i. e, he ones, these long term contracts, again, what russia ones is stability and predictability. all right, still to come here. we're not here. national as we are, approaching the 2nd half of the program, a catholic bishops and fraud sort of alden with the government offer a damning report, reveals hundreds of thousands of crimes against children covered up by that. plus the program we hit one of the victims right after a very short brain. ah

ah ah ah ah, so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race. is an offense, very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very clear to kill time time to sit down and talk oh, how could it be to join us for the sunday program here on our tea? the top catholic bishop in france has apologized and back tracked off to claiming church secrecy is above the law. he was only a reprimanded by the interior minister for saying that when priests loan of crimes during confession, they're not allowed to tell the police as follows, an inquiry which on us more than $300000.00 sex crimes against children in the french catholic church since the 1950s, and here at our tea we spoke with a founder of a victims association, who himself suffered abuse to level hill falls. when we came to france, i was 8 and 9 years old, my parents wanted me to join this scout group. so i spent almost 2 years there

until i was sexually assaulted by bernard. pray not. i found myself alone with him and the door was closed. he hugged me. it lasted around 15 minutes and he was saying something i couldn't understand because i didn't understand what was happening. and i remember having my head completely crushed. i was completely crushed against his belly. and i remember the phi both the fabric and the carlo. he shut his smell is this childhood trauma is engraved in my memory, full of very precise details. according to a french commissions report, there have been nearly 3000 perpetrators among catholic church workers since the 1950s. and more than 300000 miners were abused as mostly boys from the ages of 10 to 30. the vast majority of the crimes have now passed the statute of limitations and cannot be prosecuted. francois devoe again, claims that covering up these atrocities is actually a matter of church policy or shortish ways off. so i told my parents about the incident, they took me out of discount group,

but then they will harass by the whole local community. now, a catholic neighbourhood who accused my parents of harming the church, they protected me from wrong. they tried to get the pre to leave and they succeeded after the 8 months of fighting. but i had to live with the reality that this had happened to me. i couldn't hide it from my family and i couldn't walk myself in when i understood the magnitude of it, i told myself that the day would come and i could confront even for kittens, and that i would not miss the opportunity i assume is because i'm certain that these atrocious crime, organization, and concealment are evil, it should it have in front of us. the vatican, with all its power to my strength, is that my opponents have understood that nothing. i have nothing to lose. the investigating commission must have failed. its responsibilities is quite as well in the meantime,

po francis has expressed his great sorrow over the findings. he called the report a moment of shame for the whole catholic church on for him personally. but francois devote things to show of remorse from the pontiff is not enough. law aunt the 2nd bus excuses what is shameful, is not apologizing for an atrocity committed in catholic institutions on hundreds of children. the pope has never ever sent a single message. never tried to contact us, but it's his responsibility we're talking about. it's not about his shame. we don't care about his shame. one cannot commit crimes and simply say, i am ashamed for the crimes i have committed. it doesn't work like that. the pope received cardello barbarian, but he did not receive the victims. he did not receive the victim's associations despite the media coverage. divine justice is based on the statue of limitations for sex crimes against minors. is that your religion?

is that what you are explaining to us? you are a shipwreck of spirituality and a source of shame for humanity. pope frances, that's what i say to you. britain's tabloid presses, beating a retreat after claiming that kremlin spies stole the formula for russia's sputnik v vaccine from the u. k. the story in the sun was widely picked up by other outlets, but now at least one rival newspaper has retracted its article and apologized to come to our attention that this was full of the information about the inventor of the sputnik, the vaccine gamma la national research center for dameon g and microbiology is publicly known. the article also contained false information. as an apology, we are happy to set the record straight and publish the following statement from the russian direct investment fund. the sun newspaper branded its report as exclusive saying,

an anonymous british government source had proof. the data for the russian in coverage shot was taken by moscow's foreign agents. while the criminal spokesperson has responded by describing the paper as quote, being famous for as deeply unscientific articles of the developers of sputnik v say . they used the same scientific method they had applied in earlier research to quickly make the vaccine against covert 19 the 1st vaccine registered in the world are russian scientists, the currently working on joined to clinical trials with astrazeneca, on a combination of the 2 vaccines. meanwhile, the british security minister, when questioned on the validity of the report, was hesitant to support the sons claims. can't comments won't comment on the specific case, but it would be fair to say correct to say that we face threats of this type that are different. they're more sophisticated, they're more extensive than they ever have been before. we spoke to independent journalists along with

a who says that british read tops are up to the usual antics of attacking russia while competition and the british press is terrible. yeah. so especially for for a capital or it's like that, so no wonder that they are trying to show that the other one is not right. especially in this case that so a clear fate use you know, you say the king is dead while the king is still a lot. so that's a typical fight. you know, it's a tabloid for which shot the scandal is. the info scandal sells paper and also of course on the internet and they don't really care about the truth of then use. and so even if it's wrong, well, russia is usually bad. so why not say it one more time? you know, that sort of form stupid argument that could be in their mind in the western press . simon, john was thin in the west and in the western press. it's not one time it is with

people. it's every day. it is detailed news. big news, always russia is wrong. it's the message. this is fake use giving only one part of the story and they are so good at that in new york in press. no i that is are the weekly program for this hour here. life, rob must go on out international. thank you so much for spending somebody with sunday with us here with the russian capital. my colleague shawn thomas here at the desk for a continuation of our special coverage of the return of the russian film crew from space and the rest of the top stories that shape the wing. and when i see black merger, listen kind of my, so when i was growing, you know, like america spoke to me. why destroyed, you did not hear you say black lives matter is a movement. we are importing from america. know nothing of who we are. i lived in

a world where wife lives mattered. and i was no, why was no, i wasn't new from black america. i've learned how to speak back to one aboriginal people with your out more every day. we're out wanted them now with the police were out. we statistics, i'm scared that more children are going to grow up in the country that think says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. and they're all the fellow friends in daycare joined me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm.

oh. mm. mm. mm. welcome to well the party. it's been 80 years since philosopher eric from identified 2 types of freedom. freedom from to be no one slave and freedom to to be the master of your own faith. and while we all idealized the latter achieving, the former, the freedom from use and abuse is no small feat in this day and age, especially for africa, which has been exploited for so many centuries under various pre tax. what needs to happen for the continent to truly take its deserted place in the wild,
