launcherone was released from under the wing of a reconditioned jumbo jet that had taken off from south west england. prince harry's much anticipated memoir spare is about to go on sale in the uk and north america. so far, there has been no official response from buckingham palace about the claims he's made in a series of tv interviews to promote it. now on bbc news, the travel show. the government the government has the government has confirmed the government has confirmed a the government has confirmed a sharp reduction in the support gives to and public bodies including schools, with energy bills. the current scheme with £18 billion will be reduced to 6 billion, the scheme will take effect from march, this chemicals business in west bromwich signed a four—year energy contract it has been shielded from prices that spike tenfold at times last year and didn't need a government scheme subsidised and fixed energy costs from september to march, the new scheme today will give a discount to wholesale prices which is much less generous. all help is very welcome however we are a small company,

launcherone was released from under the wing of a reconditioned jumbo jet that had taken off from south—west. in his latest tv interviews, prince harry has made further claims about the royal family. they include criticisms of his stepmother camilla, the queen consort. so far, there has been no official response from buckingham palace or kensington palace. now on bbc news, it s time for click. as cop27 winds up in egypt, this week we'll look at some of the latest tech that is trying to clean up our planet. we'll muster up a mass of moss that's mopping up the mess in the air. that's easy for you to say! we will find out if hydrogen can do the heavy lifting. and check out our latest merch. if you don't like the band, don't worry, the logo comes back off. once again, the leaders of the world have been coming together in an effort to fight climate change. as cop27 comes to a close, campaigners are warning that key commitments aimed at securing the future of the planet are at risk. in the year since cop26 happened here in glasgow, there has been a lot of criticism that the event was all talk and

longest in britain, and ideal for an innovative method of satellite deployment via a rocket called launcheronecourtesy of a company called virgin orbit. and it's no ordinary rocket launch. this converted 7a7 carries a rocket underneath its wing, which has nine microsatellites inside. the aircraft will take off from here, fly out over the atlantic and ascend to an altitude of 35,000 feet, where the rocket will detach and blast off to the edge of space and deliver its payload. the bbc has been granted exclusive access on board cosmic girl. this aircraft used to be a virgin atlantic airliner, but it's been specially modified so it can launch rockets. in its former life, this cabin would have been filled with rows and rows of passenger seats, as well as galleys and bulkheads. they even used to have a bar on these aircraft. all of that has been stripped out to save weight — and weight saving is really, really important if you want to launch rockets. squadron leader matthew "stanny" stannard is on loan to virgin 0rbit from the royal air force. he's already played a role in three successful rocket la

british entrepreneur has had one of his old passenger airliners converted to carry a rocket, called launcheroneland and head west over the atlantic, to a designated launch zone off the coast of ireland. at the appropriate moment, at an altitude of 35,000ft, the aircraft will release the rocket. its first—stage engine will then ignite and begin its climb into orbit. the bbc�*sjenny kumah was at the launch site earlier today. —— because a fully fuelled rocket is a heavy load, the plane's lower deck has been completely stripped to save weight. two flight engineers will sit at consoles to monitor the launch. the bbc�*s rebecca morelle had a look. here in the cockpit are all the usual controls that you need to fly a plane, but there is one big difference, and it's this. this red square is a release button, and about an hour into the flight, the pilot will press this to drop the rocket. rebecca also spoke to the lead pilot on the mission. we enter what's called a terminal count procedure, and that's for when things, for us, certainly get more interesting, as we go through that sequence of pressurisin

people just thought at that stage it was going very smoothly and actually virgin orbit tweeted that launcheronenight they revised this to actually, it hasn't reached orbit and we are waiting to see what has happened. as far as we know, the precious cargo of nine satellites has broken up and burned up in the atmosphere, not what they were hoping for. if you look at the risk analysis documents that were submitted, it shows virgin orbit thought there would be a 27% chance of failure, so perhaps it's not quite as surprising as we thought. an investigation into exactly what happened, why it happened, so how long do you think it will take before they try this again? because they will try it again. the? they will try it again. they absolutely _ they will try it again. they absolutely will. _ they will try it again. they absolutely will. if - they will try it again. they absolutely will. if last - they will try it again. they l absolutely will. if last night they will try it again. they - absolutely will. if last night had been successful they were hoping to come back for another launch before the end
