They dont turn the chandra into spacecraft disappeared after it enters its final descent to the lunar surface. Omarion evanston its good to have you with us a long awaited exchange of prisoners between russia and ukraine has taken place the swap is being viewed as a step towards easing tensions between the neighboring countries and could also increase the chances of resolving the conflict in Eastern Ukraine 5 years of fighting between a troops and russian backed separatists has left more than 13000 people dead. Their 1st steps of freedom back on home soil 35 former prisoners arriving in kiev. A handshake from the president is nothing compared to the embrace of a loved one. Some had been separated for months others for years never knowing what would come next also the Knowledge Status kept on changing we heard that the prisoner swap was going to fall through. The end of august was a difficult time i couldnt sleep for 5 days. They only told us today at 4 in the morning that we should pack and someone would pick us up all the time before the flight just crawled ukraines president the lot of me is alinsky looked on as his Campaign Promise became a reality its the 1st move he says towards ending the conflict with moscow we have to do all the steps we need this horrible war i think we see the bill to help. This man receive special attention so make of all the sense of ukraines most famous political prisoner he was captured in crimea in 2014 just as the territory was invaded and annexed by russia. Also released 24 sailors captured by russia last year in a naval pursuits. At the same time another plane carrying Prisoners Released by ukraine landed in moscow but even as they disembark hundreds more remain in prison on both Sides International observers including the European Union have urged ukraine and russia to maintain the momentum towards peace. Well for more on this story were joined now by our correspondent Nick Connelly whos in moscow and kiev post editor matthew come for whos in the ukrainian capital welcome to you both matthew starting with you this prisoner swap was long awaited it was even cancelled just a few weeks ago so what made it happen in the end. Well it was indeed long awaited and of course it was a Campaign Promise for president bullet images and then skied but it wasnt exactly canceled a week or 2 ago rather there was information that it would happen and the information proved to be false as for what made it happen we know that there have been talks between between many intermediaries between ukraine and russia as well as talks between president bush is against the of ukraine and president Vladimir Putin of russia another Sticking Point here was a man named someone who was a fighter on the side of russia backed separatists in the done in the region of danielle school bus who is a witness or even a suspect in the downing of the mh 17 flight in 2014 which led to the deaths of 298 people russia wanted him included in the exchange we learned from ukrainian officials but but it was a difficult decision for ukraine because he is also wanted in the netherlands and giving him up would mean that he would be less available for questioning in the end he was included in the exchange we saw him get off the plane in moscow that was definitely a difficult decision in ukraine. But we have been seeing some pictures of prisoners arriving at the airport in ukraine some very joyous pictures nic tell us what the view is in russia how are russians perceiving this president exchange. Well this is a bit of an asymmetrical story in a way this is not the same huge domestic story here in russia as in ukraine most of the people who headed back from kiev to moscow today arent household names here in russia with the exception maybe of kilby shin ski hes a journalist who headed up the Ukrainian Branch of the Russian News Agency ria someone who was accused of treason by the ukrainian authorities of trying to support russias takeover of crimea through his journalism these most of these people even all ukrainian citizens who fought for the separatists theyre not even russian citizens i think this is less important for the russian domestic audience than for russias dealings with the western world weve seen in recent meeting went on my call this is very clearly as sign a gesture of goodwill something that is destined to prove russia is negotiating with good faith and that i think is the way to really understand this russian state and matthew we mentioned that among the ukrainian prisoners who were released by russia and arrived in kiev today was filmmaker idea sense of just how significant is his release. Well lets since old is the most famous of the Political Prisoners were held in russia in fact in some ways you could call him a symbol of the Political PrisonersInternational Organizations have called for his release there have been protests in ukraine for his release he is very famous and so this is significant in the sense that its a big victory for a zillion ski and of course this release is hugely significant for the prisoners former prisoners themselves and their families at the same time since all of was a figure who is a figure who at some points his presence sort of sucked the air out of the room for other Political Prisoners they were ignored because he gained so much attention and when he arrived in ukraine he told the press that the fight wasnt over they need to free the other Political Prisoners were held in russia but at the same time his removal from the political prisoner discourse could actually lead to less attention to Political Prisoners held in russia after this exchange the most famous faces of this struggle for freeing Political Prisoners are now free so what comes next for those who remain in russia and it may be a 100 or even more people who remain in russia. And just briefly if you can the ukrainian president selenski has said this is the 1st step towards ending the war between ukraine and russia is he right could we see peace in the near future. And i think thats very ambitious talk and make sense because lets get is definitely a huge boost to him as you mentioned his Election Campaign was built on humanitarian concerns showing interest in every day peoples sufferings through this war i think this was a lot hanging fruit this was a resolute easy thing to do this is not something that really gets on anyones provokes much of a reaction from anyone apart from approval i think Going Forward is going to be a lot more difficult theyre going to talk about things like some kind of autonomy for the eastern ukrainian regions if they were to be reintegrated some kind of a man. For the people who fought with the separatists or that is going to be much more contentious inside ukraine and russia will not be in a hurry to give up its leverage over ukraine without some kind of guarantees in return so i base this talk here there is reason for optimism given that both sides have been willing to talk direct and talk very intensively but no real clear sign how they can move on from this in a hurry all right nic connelly reporting from moscow and Matthew Kupfer in kiev thanks very much to you both all right lets get a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world Hurricane Dorian is speeding towards canada after making landfall in the u.

Now it was an ambitious plan from the very start india wanted to be the 1st country to attempt to land near the south pole of the moon the chandra and 2 mission set out in july and to explore the uncharted territory of the Lunar South Pole but shortly before the scheduled touchdown the space center in bangalore lost contact with the lander well now Mission Control is trying to figure out whether the spacecraft crashed or landed while no one was watching the devastation at indias space agency as the scientists news contact to the chandrayaan 2 only seconds before its landing. The spacecraft was meant to become the 1st ever to touch down on the unexplored south pole of the moon indian Prime Minister and the random o. T.

Chandrayaan which means moon craft in ancient sanskrit spent the last few weeks traveling to whats the south side of the moon. On monday the landing robot vic separated from the craft ahead of its planned touchdown it was supposed to measure the surface and locate water deposits india would have been only the full scan tree in the world to achieve a controlled soft landing its Previous Mission in 2008 and it with the spacecraft probe intentionally crashing into the moon for now indias invitations to become a global space superpower appear to have suffered a setback but scientists hope to get the communication to the spacecraft back up and find out what happened and it only a correspondent in asia dies while joins us now from the indian capital delhi throw an image of president modi did look somewhat disappointed there but he made an effort to reassure the nation there was much to be proud of just how big a setback is this for him. Well definitely the response across the nation despite the disappointment of what may be of fear off the program has been to support its stalled which is Indias Space Program the Prime Minister himself and others in the administration as well as civilians came out on social media to express support but of course india was trying to be the 4th nation just after the u. S. Russia and china to make a successful soft landing on the morn so this is definitely a setback however india does have a very ambitious Space ProgramGoing Forward as well is strong in the past the mandate had been to help out with agriculture to help out me meterological predictions this attempt to be a part of the space treaty started only very recently theres already been one more mission and its been a mission to mars but this also hopes to set up for the missions and by mr moore the has hoped has expressed some hope to get a man on the moon by plane 22. All right well we dont know exactly what happened to the lander theres still a doing investigations about that but we do know that the tangerine too is still orbiting the moon so does this mean the mission is somehow continuing yes definitely the mission is continuing the scientists from a store have pointed out that this mission had 3 parts there was an orbiter orlando and over the land is what the control room lost contact with and hence the rover as well but the all the door is going to continue orbiting the moon over the next year it has already sent images off the lunar surface the draw was only supposed to be functioning for about 14 do this to collect information but the all but i will continue orbiting the moon and perhaps even try to get images off the rover off the lander to find out what exactly happened as scientists continue to analyze the data all right in the mission jones 12 reporting from delhi thank you very much indeed q.
