00:01:10of Hello, I'm Anita
00:01:14McVay. Welcome to the program. And let's begin with that
00:01:17a major escalation in the
00:01:18of Middle East
00:01:19of conflict. Saudi Arabia says a hoothi missile attack on Riyad's
00:01:23international airport has killed 12 people and injured more
00:01:27than 300 others. We've received. These pictures from
00:01:31inside the airport terminal, reports say there
00:01:33of was a missile strike on one
00:01:35of the airport gates. It's the deadliest attack on Saudi
00:01:39of soil in more than decade. The Saudi authorities are calling it a war
00:01:43crime and have promised a forceful response. The airport
00:01:46has been closed and hundreds of flights have been canceled or
00:01:50diverted. The UK foreign office has told British
00:01:54nationals to stay away until the
00:01:56of airport is secure, with similar warnings from number of
00:01:59of other. countries, while the strike has been condemned by the
00:02:03of United
00:02:04of Nations Secretary General and by President Trump who's indicated the
00:02:07US may join the Saudi's campaign against the Iranian-backed
00:02:11hoofis. well you're going to find out,
00:02:16of of see, but I think it's terrible. well, they're able to defend. look, the saudis are good fighters, but I think
00:02:20the attack was terrible thing. what happened in Saudi Arabia is not
00:02:24acceptable.
00:02:25of thank
00:02:27of you. and let's cross live now to... and speak to our correspondent
00:02:31John Donason. John, why is this escalation
00:02:34happening?
00:02:38Well, of course, the civil war in Yemen has been going on for more than
00:02:42decade
00:02:43of between the Saudi-backed internationally recognized government
00:02:47and the Hutis who are supported by Iran, but in
00:02:51recent weeks, the Hutis have stepped
00:02:53in up their attacks against Saudi Arabia, and this is certainly the
00:02:56deadliest single
00:02:58of attack a... arab state since the conflict
00:03:02between the United States, Israel and Iran started
00:03:06back in February, and they're doing that, I guess, it's
00:03:09it all folds into the conflict between the United States, Israel
00:03:13and Iran, and it is a way that
00:03:16the Iranians, I guess, can open another
00:03:20front and put pressure on the United
00:03:24States to try and get better deal, they've been trying to
00:03:28negotiate a deal to bring an end to that conflict, and by
00:03:32escalating this one, I guess it is another means of
00:03:35exerting
00:03:36of pressure. So what's the likely impact then, John on the wider
00:03:40of region? Well,
00:03:43already there are fears that uh the United States
00:03:47and Israel might
00:03:49of be about to resume strikes
00:03:51of against Iran. President Trump has said he is going to do that,
00:03:55resume the war a full scale uh after the upcoming
00:03:59mid-term. in November, which is
00:04:02of just few weeks time, there is even speculation that as America
00:04:06moves more forces
00:04:08to the gulf at the moment, another carrier heading
00:04:10of that way that it could happen before that, and I guess when
00:04:14in you get something like this, 12 people killed, at least
00:04:17300 plus injured, you've got hospitals in the
00:04:21Saudi Capital overwhelmed, it is just another bit
00:04:25of tension going into
00:04:27a region which is
00:04:28of already
00:04:29of on of knife edge. really and has there been any specific response
00:04:33from Israel,
00:04:34in John? not that I've
00:04:37seen so far
00:04:39a this morning, but there is a real appetite within
00:04:42Israel to continue the war
00:04:46with uh Iran uh, that is
00:04:49in something that under pressure Israel stepped back from the United
00:04:53States clearly wanted to deescalate, do deal because
00:04:56of the damage that conflict was
00:04:58in doing of on the global
00:04:59of economy, we not had any specific
00:05:02of statement uh from Israel this morning that I've
00:05:04of seen, but obviously Israel in the last
00:05:08years and months has sustained direct attacks from the...
00:05:13is firing towards Israel uh, we're going to have to wait and see if
00:05:16there is any response, be it verbally or in militarily
00:05:20from uh the Israelis. okay, John Donason, in
00:05:24Jerusalem, thank you very much. well, as we've been reporting, this
00:05:28was the deadliest strike on Saudi soil in more than decade, and it comes as
00:05:32energy ministers from the world's oil and gas producing countries are due
00:05:36to meet in Riad for the international energy forum. John
00:05:40Sakianak's chief economist. and head of economic research
00:05:44at the Gulf Research Center is in Riyad and tell me more about the mood
00:05:48following that airport attack. Well, of course the
00:05:51mood for several days now has been one of
00:05:55angst and concern, because
00:05:59hothy attacks have been taking place throughout
00:06:02Riyadh. The city has been under alert with several
00:06:06days, in fact for several weeks now, um,
00:06:10because the drones and rockets have been coming
00:06:13in, fortunately not hitting any civilians,
00:06:17but this time at the airport we had some horrible news as
00:06:21we've seen, so the mood is one of concern
00:06:25and how there is going to be resolution, if this is going
00:06:28escalate, unfortunately everybody kind of thinks
00:06:32that this is going to get worse, and you know
00:06:36let's see where we go with this, but it's a horrible news that at the
00:06:39airport lot of um people have
00:06:43died and um this is not the first time that we've seen
00:06:47attacks on the airport itself. yeah, and Saudi Arabia's vision
00:06:502030 strategy is all about, well in part about diversifying the
00:06:54economy, but clearly oil remains a really, really significant
00:06:58part of that. with these hoothy attacks, both in the
00:07:02capital and then what they're doing on the red sea coast,
00:07:06impeding Saudi Arabia's ability to export
00:07:09oil, what is that doing to the economy, what? does that mean for
00:07:13Saudi Arabia? well, of course, Saudi
00:07:17Arabia has been re-addressing Vision 2030
00:07:21prior to the attacks and prior to the February
00:07:24war, so that is something very important to note, but of
00:07:28course that will have an impact, all of this will have an impact
00:07:32on Saudi Arabia's image and view and and of course
00:07:36tourism, as whenever we see attack in other parts
00:07:40the Gulf, be it in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait,
00:07:44that has an impact on the GCCs, the Golf's
00:07:47credibility, so I would say that yes, they would have to stay
00:07:51take a step back and see how is this
00:07:54diversification taking shape, but obviously that has
00:07:58to be addressed a later stage, because now they need to deal with the hoties,
00:08:02and I think the US will have to step in, and I believe they will step in
00:08:06to help Saudi Arabia, and John, finally and briefly, what do you
00:08:10think this winter will bring in terms of? energy supplies and prices
00:08:14and how does the the US-Russia diesel deal fit
00:08:18into all of this? absolutely, I think the Russia
00:08:22deal is is deal, but it's not going to be
00:08:26making a dent in the international market, even in the US market
00:08:30it's not going to make
00:08:30a dent. I'll give an example, the US consumes about
00:08:34four million barrels of diesel, and Russia,
00:08:38the Russia deal is going to provide about two to the million barrels of
00:08:42diesel. per month, so that in itself is not going to solve
00:08:46the problem, I think it will be the resolution the war,
00:08:49as President Trump said, and stoppage the
00:08:53attacks on Russian refineries, but also and more
00:08:56significantly find a solution to the Gulf
00:09:00crisis, the war, the straight of Hormus, and opening up the
00:09:04Babel Mandap, so there has to be more of a step in from the US
00:09:08to find a holistic solution to the end of all this, so we can
00:09:12have... have crude oil coming out the region.
00:09:16John Staakianakus from the Gulf Research Center. Ukraine has
00:09:20continued to target Russian infrastructure with another drone attack
00:09:23a data center belonging to the Russian tech giant Yandex.
00:09:27Operations at the facility in Vladimir to the east of Moscow have
00:09:31been completely haulted. The strike comes after President Trump accused
00:09:35Voladimir Zelensky of prolonging the war and said it was time for
00:09:39Ukraine to elect a new leader. Mr. Trump appeared to blame president
00:09:43Zelensky for the diesel crisis, adding, quote, that he better
00:09:47damn well stop attacking Russian oil refineries.
00:09:50Downing Street says Andy Burnham has spoken to Mr. Zelensky to reiterate the
00:09:54UK's support for Ukraine in its war with Russia. Our world news
00:09:58correspondent Joe Innward
00:10:00reports.
00:10:04It is slow and painful
00:10:06process.
00:10:10Buried under the rubble their apartment. is Jana, Anton,
00:10:14and the body their daughter, Lisa. At least 12 people are
00:10:18now thought to have been killed in a single Russian strike in
00:10:21Zaparegia. At least three were children.
00:10:27"May all Russians die," Anatoli says, as he digests the
00:10:31news the death of his granddaughter. Much of Russia's war on
00:10:35places like Zaparia has been funded by the sale of oil and
00:10:38gas. Diesel is at the center of major diplomatic
00:10:42row. That's a war that should have never started, and I think it's
00:10:46time for Ukraine to get new president. It started with the
00:10:49announcement that President Trump had done a deal with Vladimir Putin that
00:10:53would see about 10000.
00:11:25anger ahead of crucial mid-term elections, many blame President
00:11:28Trump and his war with Iran for the rising costs they're seeing at the
00:11:32pumps,
00:11:33but he said that the real cause the problem with
00:11:36these: Ukrainian strikes on
00:11:40Russian oil facilities. For Ukraine, they've been a
00:11:44key part their military strategy, for President
00:11:47Trump, cause of his problems. He wants to make
00:11:51problems for our farmers, our ranchers with diesel fuel.
00:11:55because Russia suppies a large portion the diesel fuel
00:11:59throughout the world, you're in no position to dictate
00:12:03for more than year president Zelensky has been carefully and it seemed
00:12:06successfully rebuilding his relationship with Donald Trump, left at
00:12:10rock bottom by this notorious bustup, seems much of that has been
00:12:14undone, while undoubtedly falling Russian exports
00:12:18have played a role, the real cause the rising cost of
00:12:22diesel lies here, in the straight of Homou. and in
00:12:26the war with Iran. The consequences the failure to
00:12:30end that war continue to ripple around the
00:12:33world. Joe Innwood, BBC
00:12:35News. To India now were just over an
00:12:39hour ago, the leader the cockroach protest movement was released from
00:12:43detention. It comes as police in Delhi say they will restrict access to
00:12:47the city center as the party threatens another day of protests
00:12:50against revisions to the electoral role. The cockroach
00:12:54janter party. said its founder Abujit Dipka who began the
00:12:58movement in May after India's chief justice
00:13:01licen some jobless young people to cockroaches was detained with other
00:13:05leaders shortly after landing in Delhi. The CJP
00:13:09and other opposition parties are calling for the election commissioner to be
00:13:12sacked over revisions to the electoral role, accusation
00:13:16denied by the authorities. Let's go
00:13:20live now to Delhi. Our correspondent there is Arunade
00:13:23Mukaji. day, so lots of questions over what
00:13:27this day will bring, despite the authorities wanting to clamp down
00:13:31on the protesters, they don't seem to be in the mood to to turn away from
00:13:35their course of action, do
00:13:36they? no, and
00:13:40that is precisely why you're still seeing sites like these, you're seeing big
00:13:44barricades in key areas leading to spots of
00:13:48central Delhi, this is key road which is going in, but this is shut, you can see the
00:13:51traffic can move from there into other parts of Delhi. but
00:13:55this is barricaded, if I could just show you, there's
00:13:58a paramilitary presence, these are central forces who have also been brought
00:14:02in to boost the Delhi Police's presence, but if you look
00:14:06here, it looks like any other day in Delhi, you've got a lot of traffic, and this
00:14:10is also a glimpse of what other parts of Delhi looked like while Central Elli
00:14:13continues to be seeing a significant police presence, because the point
00:14:17is that they're still expecting protests
00:14:21in sort of imprompt to protests as we've seen yesterday, so what we've
00:14:25saw lot throughout yesterday was people wherever they could find a
00:14:28place to sort of congregate and gather, they would start protesting before the police
00:14:32would take them away in different bands. the entire intention the police yesterday
00:14:36was to try and stop them, intercept them wherever they could, so they
00:14:40could not go towards the intended place of protest. this is again
00:14:44just the other road, as you can see, you've got a heavy police presence, paramilitary forces
00:14:48as well, you've got the Delhi Police as well, you can see the difference in the uniforms, which also
00:14:52gives you a sense the combination of... forces that really has been
00:14:56brought in, you've got signs there as well talking about restrictions
00:14:59behind the the the forces you can see, so
00:15:03essentially this is reminder that the issue has certainly not died
00:15:06down and we're expecting the kockroat janta party to
00:15:10outline their next strategy a press conference that's been called in
00:15:14say the next two hours or so that news of a press conference came in shortly
00:15:17after news came of the release of abhijit dipke and the two other
00:15:21senior faces the cockroat janta party what they do next Next is
00:15:25going to be the real question, now the Delhi Police says all those who are detained to the
00:15:29tune of about 20 little more have now been released and
00:15:33they have continued to justify saying that they had to
00:15:37ensure... for that security is maintained, safety is maintained in Delhi, but they've also
00:15:41come in for criticism from the people who have been trying to protest saying that
00:15:44this is essentially attempt to trample their fundamental right to
00:15:48protest. Aruna day, in about 30 seconds if you
00:15:52would, our viewers may remember that the education minister
00:15:55resigned over the exam leak scandal and that was
00:15:59after protest by the cockroach janta party, so do they feel that
00:16:03they are onto something here that they can really affect political change?
00:16:10because they were able to put considerable pressure in those protests the last time and force the
00:16:14government to go ahead and sack the education minister, they tasted success, so
00:16:18they're hoping that if they can build similar momentum, similar pressure, they
00:16:21could yield results, because they've managed to do that once, they need to figure out if
00:16:25they can do it again, but in this case the government seems to be in no mood to relent, the
00:16:29election commission has denied all charges of any kind of alleged
00:16:32irregularities, and the BJP which is currently in
00:16:35power in India has also said that this
00:16:39essentially these protests by opposition parties are politically
00:16:43motivated and they are just trying to create anarchic situation in the
00:16:46country. Arunaday thank you very much Arunade Mukaji in
00:16:49Delhi. Here investigation has begone after a
00:16:53man was killed by tiger at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. He was

00:17:16some the world's most endangered animals, including large tigers
00:17:20in huge enclosure, where a man was attacked and seriously
00:17:24injured, after somehow he managed to enter.
00:17:27An air ambulance, two ambulances and doctor were sent, but the
00:17:31man died at the scene. The animal remained in the
00:17:35enclosure and there was no wider. to the
00:17:38public, the land the Tigers

00:18:01working with the authorities to ascertain exactly what
00:18:04happened. it's not known, why the man
00:18:08was in the enclosure, the park itself was
00:18:11evacuated and will remain closed to visitors over the
00:18:14weekend. unis muller, bbc news,
00:18:17doncaster. let's get some the day's other news
00:18:21now, and it's been confirmed that chr pike who survived two lethal
00:18:25injections during a failed execution attempt in Tennessee, has been
00:18:29discharged from hospital. a statement her legal teams says she's
00:18:33been returned to the correctional facility where she spent the last 30
00:18:36years. and that she will continue to receive medical treatment. Pike is
00:18:40believed to be the only person to have ever survived lethal
00:18:43injection. The US military says its forces have
00:18:47struck a commercial cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman after the
00:18:51crew ignored repeated warnings. U.S. Central Command says it disabled
00:18:55the Panama flagged merchant vessel, Ocean Malika, stating
00:18:59that it was attempting to transit regional waters after departing an
00:19:02Iranian port. The crew are understood to be
00:19:05unharmed. The US Department of Justice says it's
00:19:09investigating whether several TV networks violated anti-trust
00:19:13laws. Last month, five TV pool members temporarily
00:19:17suspended presidential coverage after the Trump administration withdrew
00:19:21the credentials of reporters from three news organizations,
00:19:24including CNN, which is one the pool
00:19:27members.
00:19:32At least four people have died in the southeastern United States after
00:19:36a hurricane battle. the gulf coast bringing torrential
00:19:39rain. more than half million homes were left without power in the
00:19:43states of Florida, Alabama and Georgia, with trees brought
00:19:47down and houses damaged as hurricane is made
00:19:50landfall. the storm, which is now heading north has weakened to a
00:19:54post-tropical cyclone. meanwhile, hurricane
00:19:57Simon is bearing down on Mexico's pacific coast
00:20:01bringing torrential rain and sustained winds of up to 240
00:20:05kilometers an hour. the cat for storm is expected to make
00:20:09landfall near the port city of Manzano a few hours
00:20:12time. Residents on the coast of Colima and Jalisco have
00:20:16been warned that eight meter waves could bring storm surges and
00:20:20coastal flooding. People have been boarding up windows and doors
00:20:24ahead of its arrival. Simon is the latest a busy hurricane
00:20:28season in the Pacific with the powerful Elminio ocean warming
00:20:31phenomenon is allowing the storms to gain in
00:20:34strength. And with me is our lead. presenter Matt
00:20:38Taylor. Matt, let's talk about ESI first in the
00:20:42U.S. and what exactly is happening with that now, because it's left
00:20:45considerable havoc in its wake, hasn't it? It has. The thing about these storms is
00:20:49the... gain all their energy from the water source which was the Gulf of Mexico, it's moved
00:20:53inland, it has been ripped apart, if I just show you the radar chart uh what's
00:20:57happening with rainfall at the moment, you can see there there's splatterings of blue
00:21:01across the east coast, it's not a significant big
00:21:04area of rain, but still the risk of flash flooding from that, particularly across parts
00:21:08of north and south carolinas where there are warnings at the moment, the actual center the storm
00:21:12is still across parts of tennessee and Kentucky, but that will push its way eastwards out into
00:21:16the Atlantic, not causing too much in the way of problems, but there could still be some minor flood.
00:21:20issues as it moves towards likes of New York, Washington as we go through later today
00:21:24and into tomorrow. Hurricane Simon, which is bearing down on Mexico, is
00:21:27it bigger? It's far, far bigger, it's a far stronger storm than we saw with
00:21:31ECs, just looking at the satellite picture here, it's now
00:21:34got a well-defined core. Hurricans are measured a category, a
00:21:38scale of one to five, this is top end four pushing into five, we're talking about
00:21:42wind gusts, sustained winds, so this is just constant wind of
00:21:46around a uh 250 kilometers an hour, that's
00:21:50155 miles an hour - the
00:21:52problem is at the moment, just be looking latest forecasts, it looks like it may not come on
00:21:56land, it could just skirt along the coast for a little bit longer yet, that will
00:21:59just increase the duration in which the coastal districts will see
00:22:03the intense and catastrophic winds, but also rainfall
00:22:07piling into the mountainous regions of uh Helisco and
00:22:11Calima, and just looking at the forecast chart that we could see his much as 30
00:22:15inches, 750 millimeters of rain in the space of just few days,
00:22:18flash flooding, mud slide. could be a real, real issue along those coastal
00:22:22districts, a real challenge for the country, whether it makes landfall
00:22:26or not, and just briefly mat, why is this pacific
00:22:30storm season so active compared to the Atlantic? well we
00:22:34just mentioned that the Pacific storm has been storms been fed by the alnino
00:22:38weather phenomenon, it changes wind and weather patterns around the world and in the
00:22:41atmosphere, and what it's done in the Atlantic is made wind sheer,
00:22:45which rips apart storms before they can form a little bit more likely, so
00:22:49that's why it's been a unusually quiet one in the Atlantic and unusually uh busy one in the
00:22:53Pacific. Matt. Thank you very much. Matt Taylor.
00:22:56Now Manchester City travel to Anfield later to play for the first
00:23:00time since the club was found guilty of breaching the Premier League's financial
00:23:04rules. Their opponents, Liverpool are one the clubs which
00:23:08feel agrieved over their losses during the seasons in question.
00:23:12Ollie Foster at the BBC Sports Center gave me his assessment ahead the
00:23:16game. Well, City trips to Anfield uh...
00:23:20hostile should we say, Anita, at the best of times, it's not a
00:23:23historic rival,
00:23:25a bit, but it's one that's intensified over the past
00:23:28decade or so, because Liverpool have been one of those
00:23:32sides that have been challenging Manchester City
00:23:35uh, for all those titles that they've been winning since the
00:23:39Abu Dhabi takeover back in 2008, and obviously this
00:23:43is the first time that City will have played uh, since
00:23:47they were found guilty the majority of uh, financial breaches,
00:23:51charges that were brought against them by the Premier League, covering a
00:23:549-year period between 2009 and
00:23:572018, and during that time Liverpool were runners
00:24:01up to Manchester City, that was in 2014 and more recently
00:24:05under Pep Guardiola in 2019 and
00:24:092022, even though that falls outside the the period in which they were
00:24:13investigated, Liverpool were runners up to City
00:24:16twice by just a single point, and the feeling is... uh
00:24:20from Liverpool fans and other clubs as
00:24:24since these charges were brought against City uh everybody's
00:24:28looking back at the period in question and wondering just what
00:24:32might have been had City not been winning all
00:24:36these titles, the accusation being that they were
00:24:39financial doping by overinflating uh their revenues.
00:24:43city, we know they are appealing against this
00:24:46and um they they say they're innocent, of all
00:24:50these charges, but it's going to be really interesting to see what kind of
00:24:54reception those city players get when
00:24:57they arrive at Anfielder - later this
00:24:59afternoon. Ollie Foster reporting. And
00:25:03finally, this half hour, I want to show you some absolutely stunning images
00:25:07that BBC weather watchers have captured off the northern lights.
00:25:11The natural phenomenon known as the Aurora Borealis, which is the
00:25:15result of increased solar activity, was seen across large
00:25:18parts the UK. "Now these occurrences are mostly visible near the
00:25:22Arctic circle and in the north of Scotland, but
00:25:26particularly strong activity levels mean they could or meant they could be seen
00:25:30as far south as Devon, Hampshire and Kent on Saturday
00:25:33night. The met office says sightings could continue to be
00:25:37possible during clear skies until Tuesday, and experts
00:25:41have previously said that 2026 is going to be peek
00:25:45here for Aurora spotting as the sun has been a heightened state of
00:25:49activity as..." part of its 11-year natural cycle, so
00:25:53still an opportunity in the remainder the year perhaps to see some stunning
00:25:56skies like these, and thanks to our weather watchers who sent
00:26:00those gorgeous pictures in, do stay with... here on BBC
00:26:03News. Hello, we've seen some
00:26:07reports of localized flooding in Malta following some heavy thundery
00:26:11downpours, a trough is bringing widespread showers and thunderstorms
00:26:14into southeast Europe at the moment, and looking at the forecast into Sunday,
00:26:18well
00:26:18I think the worst the weather is heading into parts of Greece where we're looking at the
00:26:22risk of some localized flash flooding, maybe some hail,
00:26:26certainly very lively thundery dowrs on the cards. There will be some rain
00:26:30elsewhere, we've got a cold front that's stretching into a... Romania and Ukraine
00:26:34bringing some wet weather, the probably some thunderstorms in that, quite
00:26:37warm to the east the front, much cooler in Budapest as that weatherfront pushes
00:26:41through, for Spain and Portugal, some pleasant spells of sunshine around through
00:26:45Sunday, heading northwards, low pressure around the Baltic region will bring
00:26:49rain and showers here, and the weather for many areas is on the cool side,
00:26:53temperatures 12 in Copenhagen, a 10 for Stockholm, now
00:26:56looking at the weather for Monday, that area of low pressure still there or
00:27:00there aboutts affecting. of Latvia, Lithuania, Finland with more
00:27:04general outbreaks of rain and cool weather conditions as well, still got that wet
00:27:08weather extending southwards all the way into parts
00:27:12of Bulgaria. Here's your outlook over the next few days and the
00:27:16weather a little bit mixed in Amsterdam, we've got some rain to come through on Tuesday,
00:27:19otherwise dryer towards the middle part the week and turning a little bit warmer for a
00:27:23time as well. In Prague we start the week a cool note, but it does get a
00:27:27little bit milder by
00:27:28Thursday.
00:27:40I've always been fascinated by science since I was kid
00:27:44really encompasses everything. In one day you can be
00:27:48reporting about mission that's launching to
00:27:51explore Mars. Our view of Mars is about to be
00:27:55transformed. The next day you might be a paleontological
00:27:59dig. Standing here you really get a sense the...
00:28:02size of this creature, it's just such a broad subject.
00:28:06sometimes the science story can seem quite abstract, and once i've got my
00:28:10head around the story, it's really my job to try and guide the audience
00:28:14sometimes step by step through it, but it's not just about
00:28:18explaining or understanding the difficult concepts, it's
00:28:22also about explaining why it matters.
00:28:24what i want to do was to bring the audience with
00:28:26us. the altemis to mission was
00:28:30such visseral. experience seeing the
00:28:34engines fire, it was almost blinding.
00:28:37wow, oh my goodness, and then the
00:28:41sound too, this this huge roar and the crackles snapping
00:28:44away in your ears. you can actually feel the force of
00:28:48it through your body. it does feel like
00:28:52we're entering into a new era of
00:28:56space exploration, and the artemis 2 mission is just
00:29:00the start. there's no limit to... how far science can take
00:29:04us? there is always more to
00:29:06discover.
00:29:12we have different views regarding the third world war. i
00:29:16believe that Putin has already started it. being able to
00:29:19inspire someone is always the greatest joy.
00:29:23i saw sizza one time at the grammis and she said that she studied some of my songs for their
00:29:27songwriting and i thought that that was the biggest compliment ever. japan must
