michelle obama had tweeted, in the last couple of days it was an honor getting speak with doctor sianproctor, and the incredible inspiration for. so many people, lindsey, got to speak with them when they were out there in space, including bono, as you mentioned. and also, tom cruise, who as i have mentioned is trying to shoot a story, trying to shoot a movie in space at some point. and as for that goal by the way, to race to wondered million dollars, they were able to surpass that, because at the last minute, elon musk said $50 million! i am in! what an incredible landing and moment. i am willing to put in $5, lindsay, will you go with 50 million? >> that is spare change to him, that is like five cents it to us! i need to more know more about this conversation with bono, what did they talk about? >> i mean, what do you talk about when bono is calling in to the international -- or to you, when you are flying 360 miles above? it is not clear, but i will tell you what we do know. the next day for them, maybe ten minutes later because, they get a new day every 90 minutes or so, they woke

they've been speaking exclusively to our midlands correspondent, sian lloyd.ed 34. her body was found along with that of her partner by her nine—year—old daughter. sometimes i can think that suzanne is still here but she's... you know, she's somewhere else. and i think to think like that is easier, you know, to cope with it, because we do miss her. violence by her partner, john worton, against her, had been reported to west midlands police. after suzanne's death, a postmortem examination revealed marks on her neck and traces of drugs in her system. to an accidental overdose. they saw and assumed what they wanted to. it was like when she had drugs in her system, that was it then, everything else was forgotten about and suzanne wasn't like that. and that is when our fight began, really, because we were adamant. that's not what happened, and that's it. the apology by the chief constable of west midlands police acknowledges that there were failings by the force in its handling of suzanne's case both before and after her death, and it acknowledges the additional di

sian proctor is a geoscientist who once came close to being selected as a nasa astronaut.omething i ever imagined would happen but i think that is what makes it so fun for me. the team has had just six months of training but computers will do most of the work during the flight. none of the crew, though, has been in space before, and no professional astronauts will bejoining them on board. you have got these four people who will be in a very hostile environment in space, trusting their lives on the technology, on the automation and on the knowledge of people in mission control. with the rocket ready to launch in a few hours, the amateur astronauts will spend three days orbiting the earth. the price of the mission has not been disclosed but it is likely to be tens of millions of dollars. for now, flights like these remain the preserve of the super—rich, even if they take a few people along for the ride. rebecca morelle, bbc news. good luck to them. now time for a look at the weather. here is season. hello. in the coming days, the weather will continue with a rather gentle sl
