The woman to leave the u. S. If they are not happy that congos a bold outbreak spreads to buy wrist reaches to be crowned city of the crowded city of goma on the border with for wanda the World Health Organization describes the new case as a potential game changer plus we have looked up the world works 50 years since the astronauts of apollo 11 took to the skies on a mission to put a man on the moon. Im sorry kelly welcome to the program in just over an hour germanys arcilla founder live is due to address the European Parliament in a final push to persuade lawmakers to back her bed for that you use top job now if she can secure. A majority of todays vote she will become the 1st woman president of the European Commission success though its far from certain funder line faces hostility from parliamentary groups who say that she was foisted on them by National Leaders so shes been on a Charm Offensive making a raft of promises to win support. For keeping up with the honda law and its not an easy task last week. She was on the move constantly meeting almost all the political groups of the e. U. Parliament. She needs to convince enough parliamentarians that she is the right woman for the Commission Presidency and that could be a problem especially with the social democrats in the European Parliament. Theyve called her commitments to and they disliked that and wasnt even one of the lead candidates especially the german social democrats are up in arms so the members of the Democratic Group in the parliament has not taken a final decision yet i guess there are some that might consider to vote for. The questions and others who are. Already. Clear that they wont including you including me. So fond needs to do the math will give her a hand she needs a total of 376. 00 votes to be elected Commission President lets just say shell get all 182. 00 from her own group the conservative your party now it gets dicey the liberals from renewed europe who have 108 seats seemed rather positive but not completely convinced with 70 votes. To the social democrats lots of opposition but also lots of support from the spanish delegation there are 153. 00 seats total if shes like he might get 100. 00. Finally there are the conservative euro skeptics from the e. C. R. Group seat total 62. 00 realistically she could expect 30 seats maybe even more from them. And that would put her over the hump. To get those votes from the lion has a twofold strategy number one make sure the e. U. Parliament feels respected the world is calling for you know for more europe more engagement. And therefore we must draw all our strength i came. Here to work with him and and im confident that we will work to get the singers number to emphasize her european side so now shes tweeting in german english and french. For political nevertheless it will be a close call to succeed fun and i and will probably have to give the speech of her life right here in the European Parliament in strasburg. And lets get more now on what promises to be a fierce battle for the e. U. Stop job im joined here in the studio by good obvious chief Political Correspondent melinda crane and we have standing by also our Brussels Bureau chief max hole from and at the European Parliament in strasbourg you also saw him in that piece there max id like to begin with you because i mean we heard that funder line is facing this up hill struggle what does she need to do now to get the votes she needs she might have done already quite an important part on monday when she wrote an 8 page letter to the social democrats here in the European Parliament and you just saw in the report the social democrats are key here because the opposition was so strong especially from the from the german part of the social democrats the german delegation and in that 8 page letter she gave them quite a lot for example she said shes committed to through the social pillar of your what is called the rule of law as she said that she would be tough she also had much more Ambitious Goals on fighting Climate Change so for climate protection than the European Peoples Party her party usually has but she still has that speech at 9 oclock and that could make or break her and thats one of the german social democrats so against one of their fellow country woman. Well its probably also a question we need to ask whos in the studio with you because its a different story in berlin and here in strasburg but weve talked to some of those members of the s. P. D. So the german social democrats officially they say theyre theyre angry because the. Principals meaning that the lead candidates that were on the campaign trails for months should be the only ones available to be elected Commission President here in parliament that was ignored in the end by the leaders because they couldnt get a majority for one of those the candidates by the way none of those the candidates had a majority here in the parliament but they say the European Parliament is being kept on a small level here deliberately kept small by the leaders officially of course officially i mean its a little different story because the s. P. D. The german social democrats also have that coalition back home in berlin with which they dont feel comfortable and some here think that has to do with it because other social democrats are on board to vote for and from other countries melinda weigh in on this issue of the lead candidate because i mean this is this is really whats driving a lot of the debate in essence where are saying here is a power struggle between the e. U. Parliament and the heads of state of the Member States who made this backroom deal that puts the lion as the cabinet date to be the head of the commission and basically that occurs because the system is not yet fully developed if the lead candidate system were in fact fully worked out then probably we wouldnt have arrived at this impasse but the fact is that european democracy your opinion democracy is a work in progress so whats happening here is the social democrats in brussels and also very much here in germany are saying no we stand on principle this was a democratic process by which we reached. Our lead candidate and we insist that it needs to be one of them or nobody so to speak the problem is that their resistance is now beginning to look a bit like a just a contrarian approach ive just been listening to a leading german s. P. D. Member in brussels essentially presenting her arguments and they are as i said standing on principle and then also that ursula funded lion herself has been too vague and too weak in the pronouncement that shes been making about what she would do but frankly shes become increasingly specific she had only a couple of weeks to get ready for this so i think the the issue of vagueness is a little problematic and the big point here is are the s. P. D. Possibly simply shooting themselves in the foot because the resistance of the german s. P. D. Has everything to do with domestic politics max just in do they have the public here in germany behind them i mean what do you germans think of the funder line as a candidate she she has a record here she is the outgoing defense minister of the country lets say this ursula funded line is viewed a lot more positively abroad than at home interestingly enough a slight majority of members of the german public who see themselves as conservatives or sort of mainstream middle of the road would be for us a lift underline as Commission President but only 33 percent of the germans in general say that they think she would make a good Commission President 56 percent say no that is not the same in many other countries in europe shes actually quite popular for example in france so theres a real division here between how shes seen at home and how shes seen abroad max you have to take us through you know the Case Scenario here especially with this vote being so close that are slip underline does not snag this today. What would european leaders that do i mean do they have another surprise candidate up their sleeves. Theyll have to come up with another surprise candidate something goes off on the line wasnt that much of a surprise if you talk to people she was preparing to be commissioner she was hoping to get commissioner of course Commission Presidency is a level above that there are of course names that are floating around for example. Whos the director of the world bank in washington d. C. But shes not supported by her own government in bulgaria you also have michelle who is the chief brags that the go she ate or theyre all members of the European Peoples Party so the conservative party to which the left on the line also belongs since the package has been dealt with by the leaders and some of the positions for these top jobs are already in place take for example shell michele who used to be the belgian Prime Minister and will now become the president of the e. U. Council you really cant turn back the clock completely so even if the s. P. D. So the german part of the social democrats in the European Parliament shoots down on the line it wont do them much good because they will have another candidate of the european part of Peoples Party we dont know exactly but we do know that leaders will probably have to come back together over summer to hash that out were not there yet though and as we mentioned our slip underlined and just under an hour from now at 9 am is due to make that speech her final bid. For her case in order to become the president it is a commission we thank you so much max hoffman joining us from brussels belinda crane here in the studio and you will be with us live for the hour joining that speech as well.

Well now 50 years ago today on july 16th 1989 these 3 astronauts Neil Armstrong buzz aldrin and Michael Collins were poised to make history as part of the apollo 11 mission millions student to watch grainy black and white images as the 1st manned mission to the moon took to the skies from Nasa Kennedy Space Center in florida it would take the crew 4 days to reach their destination well now for the United States this footprint it is still visible today according to nasa demonstrating its power to the world today the black and white images can also be seen in color helping to bring a whole new generation closer to one of the most defining events of the 20th century. Well for Neil Armstrong. Michael collins. And buzz aldrin it was the mission of their lives the estimated probability for success was put it only 20 percent by nasa technicians and engineers. To launch was followed by multiple complex maneuvers each of which would have disastrous consequences if anything went wrong to get to the moon pilot mike collins had to ignite an engine to the nearest 2nd and then down the lander ferry and separated from the rocket. Charlie duke was one of the team members at the control center he kept in touch with the astronauts on their mission. The ready enthusiasm for space was building ready but we were behind in the space race with the russians so that motivated the u. S. To commit to it. There was a tense moment 4 days into the mission when armstrong and aldrin flew towards the moon again and again the radio cut out. Then the navigation computer sounded the alarm Neil Armstrong took control and landed the lunar module gently on the moons surface. What made your. Way through the eagle has landed very excitedly asa roger toy train we copy all the grail you got a bunch of guys about to throw a blueberry that. Buzz aldrin filmed armstrong setting foot on the moon along with his historic words. Armstrong then went about collecting dust and rock samples buzz aldrin set up some scientific equipment. Together they planted the stars and stripes in the moon surface. And then the last big challenge the lunar module has only one engine and if it failed it would mean that the astronauts would be stranded on the moon. Module makes it into orbit around the moon without any problems and almost 4 hours later it docks on to the command capsule. What seemed like an impossible feat had been accomplished and on july 24th the 3 astronauts returned to earth 1st they went into quarantine they could have brought dangerous microbes with them but later they were hailed as heroes all of them visibly touched by their part in the adventure of the century. The adventure of the century and for more on that ive joined here in the studio by at a sacco from d. W. Science just talk more about this groundbreaking mission but we have to you know ask from todays perspective how dangerous was it really health a lot to be honest i mean president nixon had already a stitch ready in case the apollo 11 mission would get stranded on the moon so thats a lot there were a lot of risk some of them were just mentioned in their report of course but there were many more that we didnt know about and that even the astronauts to know about for example when they touched base on the moon there was a problem with the fuel line and that was the cold of the moon caused a blockage and Mission Control decided not to tell. Also not in order to not endanger the mission and that but that i could have caused the whole engine to blow up or the whole lunar module they didnt really know but in the end all went well because the heat of the engine melted that ive spoken away so they could leave the moon again after them walk and it was all good but it could have gone both ways and they were willing to risk a lot even human lives and i mean one sentence which is really just synonymous with this entire endeavor is that sentence from Neil Armstrong when he did step on the moon one small step for man one giant leap for mankind just walk us through what exploration of the moon has meant for science has actually a fun fact 69 Moon Landing Mission was science free in the beginning so it was up until the point that some Scientists Say maybe the astronauts should have something to do on the moon because otherwise it would look bad so only then they put some experiments together and one of the exploring ones for example they could have some reflectors on the moon so that not. You could expect distance from earth to move and that was not possible before and because they did that over time a couple of times they actually found out that moon is moving away from us so dad was breaking new data another one was lunar rocks that theyve brought back all the apollo astronauts brought about back 382 kilograms of rocks and for geologists they are really important because they are like ancient remains of the original the solar system so they cant tell us about how the solar system came about how earth was formed so until now theyre still really important for science and weve never gone back to the mood though since the end of the Apollo Missions why not if were finding out so much information well. 69 Apollo Missions of the 6th this day had one clear and simple goal put a human on the moon before the russians do so it was more about politics and power us and not so much about science after that was accomplished other priorities took over that we had none was there of course and it was very costly and they had gross miscalculation as well in the beginning they thought that they could send someone on the moon every other month but of course that was way too expensive so the moon was forgotten for some time until recently when they discovered this water on the moon and now it is a new excitement and a new race to the moon you could say new players new countries coming in this how id walk us through those changes the changes from then until today yeah well in and terms of technical. Things in terms of the rocket configuration its actually nothing much has changed the same system of course the materials a better but its pretty much the same system but what is different is now the motivation basically. New players that come in they also private companies they are not about politics or even about science its more about making money in space you know they want to put up such a law its they want to offer an Internet Service and. Its more about. Maybe its even about mining and minerals and resources on asteroids you were not sure about that but definitely there are different motivations behind the missions of today and i think we should pretty soon put strict regulation up there in space because otherwise its going to be pretty crowded soon and if you science thank you keith.
