over george orwell has been telling us, and he didn't even know what he was telling us me. this is, this is part and parcel of living on this planet. but unless we forget what app, the real story to night, which scares me more than is this, this will come and go. fac is that going, is and always be here is artificial intelligence and how we need to drastically tell people what this means. it's not quaint, it's not helping people out. it's not going to be able to help you write a term paper. this is an existential threat to humanity. and i am not exaggerate. this is, this is that, that this, this is existential. again, i say always interest the have you on the program. thank you so much for sharing your views on all of our giving us so much for your time's the legal on media. alice ly from new york city. it's lydell. thank you sir. oh, okay. before we go to break, let's say bring you up to scope without breaking news. we brought you earlier.

vladimir putin has visited the headquarters of the national guard voss stock in the lou ganske republic, the headquarters of russian forces in the her san region. not coming into some information from the presidential at press service, the president was given situational reports by commanders in the area, and also at follow was around this time, last month and on a 9 foot working trip to morrow you pull as well about was sat, the 1st time, father mer pertinent, visited the don boss, regions in ad close to a decade. so from were on that's, keep with us here on the program will bring it to but indeed is where we leave the news block for now, the news team just off calmer, they're busy putting together all the latest updates on that on plenty more. besides, i'll bring it to you in 30 due to me that ah,

ah ah ah ah,

who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions. today russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing. i figure which of the problem was to call soon as you speak on the bill in your senior mostly mind the we're, we're ship, we're branding, all imports of russian, oil and gas, fuji i suffering though. i know they plenty of those with the literature. we're pretty good regarding joe biden and imposing these sanctions on russia. jo has destroy the american economy, so there's your boomerang. ah, ah,

need to come to the russian state. total narrative. i've stayed as i phone and ignore some scheme div. mm hm. then i can also send up a group in 55 with okay, so mine is 25 and speedy. one else with will ban in the european union, the kremlin media machine estate on russia for date and split our t spoke neck. even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube and pinterest and with mm ah, the experience itself, i,

i mean the nuts and bolts of it, the training, et cetera, that, that wasn't too difficult. so in that sense, it was underwhelming and i bought, ah, the experience of being up there and looking at the planet that was quite out of the ordinary. her and it did doesn't leave you was very impactful. and then now when you return back that way, when you look at the colonel for a response, you get because it before it i compared to today, space flight was still a bit of a novelty or so. and especially in india, in india because we never had any activity like that so, so that was difficult to have. so people generally reacted so much to the image which was built up there. and there was only one tv channel at that time so. so in

effect, a space came into the drawing rooms offer our indians and that we made quite an impact with them. so as a result of that, the adulation and all was something one was when he unprepared for so bad. so that was the difficult part. but then again, if you look at it as a, as, as a professional, like i sent, ah, the a flight itself, the professional part of it somehow was not challenging enough. i would say, primarily because a lot of control was autonomous. done by the computers. and now we were bigger testify let me was an a fight, a pilot before that. but we are used to more hands on control. so it affected was like waiting to see what happens. so you are just curious, anoka 1st during the transit. yeah,

it did take us something to adapt to 0 gravity that took some doing because you can't replicate bug, let the exact conditions on ground, therefore you're not trained for that. so you kind of learning on the job. so that was i would say the segment that was a bit challenger, but otherwise, back a day you chose to participate in the program. how difficult was the competition and why do you think that you were chosen her? i tell you of anybody anybody. and i think we were probably about a 1000000000 of that time if you'd us, anybody, anybody would of wanted to go because it was, it was such an wellness call it and out of the world experience. ah. so who would want a piece of that action? ah, but to be quite frank ah,

i never ever dreamed it wasn't one of my dreams. of course i dreamt of being a fighter pilot and i became one luckily. love but never, never thought of going into space because our country never had a man space program. so it would have been true of dial to just even think about. so i never thought about her. but oh, it was ours was a different i think our flight was before its time. even now. we are just prepared, a babs next year. we'll be sending our own now. indian astronauts a border e bay indian launchers using indian technology. so we're talking about what happened 40 years earlier. so, so really speaking from, from my a planning standpoint of israel was really not ready to get into

this part or for expiration is so was just busy with the satellite program. so, but because that then soviet russia, well wondered if i was, i have beneficiary of the cold war, i would say, because there was competition going on between america and russia. and russia wanted to wander the world to know that india is with them in their can. so they offered that flight to india. and her is so, like, i said, was not keen. and then mrs. gandy offered the flight to the, the net force and ready gladly and in air force grab dick. and then the, the soviet said that it would be better if we could get a test pilot because there wasn't any time left elections around the corner. so so, so i happened to be young at that time,

relatively happened to be fit because i was always an outdoorsy kind of a person in. and i happened to re lucky her to be the right guy at the right place of the right time. so could you tell us a bit about your ras, soviet colleagues, your interactions with them? the crews were, i mean, they were like, like a via does anywhere in the world. we have a special bond. so in that sense that done, i was the only guy doing the 1st flight. there were 3 of us, the other 2 yury militia than good. now this circle of a boss where i had already flown into space. so there was that sense of comfort with them and um, can i, i think all and all it was i, it was already or truthful interaction. oh, dear, good. the mentoring. and there was no problem whatsoever. where was the so you

steam beast and wherever you will train we did our training in o outside moscow at star city. does the unit ga gonna lead space sir facility the training facility and our that's where we trend l l we moved to by conner from where the launch took miss. so the final part of the training, just prior to the launch a practiced, ah, the last minute things like docking, if it won't go well then, how do we are still managed to retrieve ah, the space way to sell? because if you can dockwood the laboratory, then you can do any experiments. so, so that's what all the training was in moscow out of moscow. jose niga, dr. star city. do you remember your fears if any, in the process or preparing for your 1st flight?

i was an experienced just by that, by the time i was select 10, i would say that her all, i won't even sail military viet us. all aviators have a reconciled with the prospect off it bigger riskier profession than what everybody thinks, door today. i would say that crossing a roadway, this traffic is equally risky. but on being a riskier profession, some are we, all of us professionals of come to town means by then. so there was no fear at battle level and not. and the way i processed the fact that i would not be in control, and that my destiny is going to be shaped by air computer. ah, it'll shoot, i have to worry. and so therefore,

i just took it in my straight. okay? if it works, it works, it doesn't work, but then i was not the 1st guy growing up so many had been there before me and, and then they returned to so i mean, i really wasn't worried that on i was an observer. what are your 1st thoughts when you realized that you were actually in faith? it was absolutely stunning. no. of course, by that time, i would say gotten, went up in the c early sixty's and the americans followed thereafter. so there was a lot of material already in the media in terms of photographs and things. so why really knew what, what to expect? and there were color photographs, but when you actually go up there and we experienced the air, i would say the environment to go your floor do all the time, something you're not used to that and,

and the visuals are absolutely stunning. and it's too, oh, in a very impactful way, at the scale on which things are. and i, i would say that that gives you a wider perspective of your own existence. no. and therefore, you start, you will return as somebody who was a lot more mindful about the fact that there is no other place now, which is as comfortable as planet earth and therefore, so we really needs to look after that and not to we need to take care of the sources and use them frugally and not do what we are doing because we are systematically. i think you do agreed. a due to our so quarter development. but we are exhausting the limited resources which planet earth has got an bab. therefore, you come back with a, with a changed perspective in that sense,

how long will you in faith for, we went up and the saw your sweet docked with the salute we transferred to the side you sewer tunnel, which was formed due to leak coupling off there so using the solute and we lived in the solute which essentially is a steel cylinder, much smaller, smaller than this. oh, and a, and that's it, me work there for. so it was in that confined space, but we stayed for 8 or days hub, but that's no great shakes because the way to record us $400.00 plus days. so. so sir, it's a wonderful place to wizard, but a difficult place to work in. i would say everything keeps flying because there's no gravity. so all your tasks you have to do it sequentially.

so you can't let things keep it on the table. i mean, everything would be flying off the table. so one by one, you go to do those stocks and it takes a lot longer. we need a lot more patience, julie de not more diligence. but that's, this is something which you pick up and you learn on the job. to really curious to know what you eat in space too much of a good faith. we had to choose between 80 dishes now and i of course it did it. it could be laid out like a like a buffet. oh, so you had to go to the larder and select whatever you wanted and it is a whole you way of eating. there we go. it. and in fact, even the way the food was prepared, ah, like rice was prepared and in a manner such that the grains would stick to each other so that they don't fly about and 0 gravity. so you had to gov,

piece out with your spoon and put it in their mouth. so they were non registered and dishes. they were you know, while we were under training, we were introduced or different kinds of foods. and that's when they found out who was fond of worked and they used to make sure that when that crew goes up, those dishes are available. those thing in the tins and bread zen with honey and stuff and where it was lovely. and yet at least my appetite increases. i, i over it, i the, i felt the need for more mustard. you know, because because the taste buds gonna come alive. i saw it was, it was nice. there's no problem at all. so did you do any sort of special exercises to stay fit out there? now you do because i'm, when i believe that when you're not using muscles and remember the hot is also

a muscle. it tends to get d condition when you are in 0 gravity. so because nothing with a so exercises you don't do so you have to find ways to lord your body either from a cardiovascular standpoint, all from her, from the, from the for the muscle tone to return. so you, you do a good of dynamic tension. your do a bit of runny or cycling her over there just so that you get, give yourself a cardiovascular massage. and so there are techniques and that's how you would skin . so i have for the, for more than $400.00 days. now let's see how, what solutions that come up with when you actually walk to the more known and other planets. you spoke to the den, prime minister off india, indira gandhi from back. what did she say to you?

well, but she got off her lead the questions richer, i would say the arrest of the observers in our country were keen to know the answers off so. so naturally the question, one of the questions was, she congratulated all of us for having completed our training and her having a successful launch. and then of course, the inevitable question as to how india looks from space. so. so one have to describe that. in fact, i would say that though, i did try my best to share that experience because one of the programs from orbit was when i was given a video camera and i took it around the spur salute 7 and through the windows showed them how the earth looks it was my attempt to share the lovely visuals with, with my countrymen. would you likes to return to space?

i would yes. ah, i would. what i would like to return as a tourist. reason being that her space is such a inexpensive activity that when i was there last, each minute of the space flight was one, had to do something or the other to make the flight productive. so there was no time really to pressure nose against the window. and look at the world go by. so i don't mind going back again. but as a tourist back of the deed did you have any astronaut for all models? of like i said, this fell out of the blue into my lap. and all of us, of course you do, i govern was a, was a, the one who started it on. and then he was entered in there and that was created quite a splash. so these were household names. you to go to an alan shepard and all these

guys. but it was only later that when one was actually in this game, one cells that one realised the degree of difficulty. that is there, for example, were in star city or met icons, leg valentin, that, that a score like leon of and then you found out that the kind of stuff they did, they did it for the were the 1st time loan of went out into open space for an extra curricular activity. now, the association of space explorers where guys lake roost mccandless. you'd heard about john young. i mean these other real heroes your own, the because mccandless was untethered. he was, he was flaying floating next to the shuttle without any dinner. and her and he was trying out the man maneuvering unit. so. so there were a lot of role models. but before i actually went these

household names, but you didn't really know what exactly they did. do you believe in existence, off life, outside of faith in aliens perhaps the patient would have to look out here the, i think we've got a little living on this planet. but because there are guys and there, you know, people who are really greedy, who don't bother about her about either the environment for, for personal gain. people who don't her share. oh, where do you want to take all of this? you know, so we're, we've either, i think, misunderstood the concept off, off of the living, an exclusive lifestyle, this business off a rallying under a flag and her protecting your borders. and when, when all of us have a common destiny,

actually 0. and we are interdependent on each other. so. so conflict for profit. oh, i mean, this is a brilliant concept except when it comes to the way india looks at, you know, the inclusiveness. now our, our culture is, is different at us. we look at the world as one family. so should doctors the difference, talking about aliens, other intelligences. i think it's typically adolescent of us you once to think that we are the only intelligent life in those washed universe is just that are sense of distance is limited to oh, whatever we are used to read and science hasn't really yet opened all the doors. we really don't know how we can change dimensions. we don't know what lays on the

other side of a black old maybe there are. they going were says that all the civilizations was just that we haven't made contact. but to think that the army will me guys if really lever that special would we behave the ravia behavior is my question and my daughter, and therefore i think that has to be alien life more devoid than us. and in fact, i look forward to that kind of her contact her. i've been a, i believe font of science fiction. and her, this topic has been covered wildly by science fiction movies my books and a resume. sidney. do you believe in the next 50 years? a thor, we'll be able to open a settlement outside of art on another planet. maybe. yeah, we, we,

from a techno logical standpoint, we will be able to open. but whether we are willing to derive anything from it on, on a, on a, on a happiness scale, i have my doubt of primarily because your, your leaving buttered eyes and going into a desolated air, trying to reboot of another butter does. whenever it actual fact a you have not been able to sustain the battery as you are in so, so i would say technologically it will be you will be capable of doing that. but i would rather that i some kind of regulation comes in me because our track record hasn't been very good at all. so there's not weren't building a far off hill when you have better as right here. so let's practice sustainability on planet earth 1st. before we move out,

otherwise we are going to after us or de loser, wherever we go in our solar system. i move, we go to get our act, right. we got to see what we've done. we must realize what is the end use off of technology. we've never bothered about that new script. the ottoman we have made nuclear bombs. jo. oh, it's time to get off this belt of fur, shall we say development technology, local development, and ask ourselves some hard questions and get our act rate. before we move out. if you were offered to colonize on the planets without the possibility of coming back to light, would you take up that offer? yeah, i would, i would do that with the, with a different set of woods. i would do that. i mean, here we already have the united nation office or for outer space affairs, which has got oh, was in 2020 document which stalks off the

a fall to space being for the greater good of human kind by we don't see any results on the ground so, so, you know, you got all there has to be alignment, awful, vision. before we start achieving that, risen if we're gonna continue all in the same way. then all we are doing is exporting conflict from planner to us into our, to space. so therefore i need, you need to be i believe you need to be a lot more circumspect. and i think, oh, countries like india, countries like russia, really who we are, we are different. ah world view. we have a different l o, clock to space. we talk off cooperation. oh, we talk or sharing of data, or whereas sir, the western hemisphere. no, because of the economic model they're following, it's all about profit and profit is all about exclusion. they're not inclusion. so,

so there are a lot of complex things to be taken care of. so yes, sir, i would encourage, because ultimately, the factors, the human race is at risk if some asteroid comes and hits us. and we do not have a copy of our gentleman anywhere else. so so yes, we do need a backup plan, but not as chaotic as, as we have now. and we need people to enlist more in, in the future of human kind and which has to be inclusive and nordic schools. ah, ah,

i to visit with them with key at the when washington's keep the process is to be de la monica cranes give us a spoke with you of the betsy professional that fit into you prep, a list of all but each with a a

ah, breaking news this hour long to be put in visits the newly incorporated russian territories of the louis gale script, public and her song region to hear reports directly from the commanders of local forces, us rushes leader commitments the high level of performance of snow. naval drills in the pacific r t is invented with the fleet, which have been put on high alert to test this readiness i made soaring tensions with are also going to see by the way, the might of these torpedoes in action today. so without further ado, let's get right into it does the white house fumes over brazil to pile in style of all the ukraine.
