Their cause involved have been lived or lines been heading down towards a common irony So for now we'll have more for you in 20 minutes. To. Come and 6 more on the 50th anniversary of the moon landing you'll hear from a former Scot not present and we'll head to last the spy center a little later on as well for you in the next half an hour we look at the changes proposed for the future of British railways and the incredible story of the twins who were born born joined at the head and successfully separated by surgeons in London. 101049 is the MD call you can text me all night want triple 3. I want to you stories of things that you've seen around the world natural phenomena and any sort of beautiful scenes. Tell me your story between now and 6 o'clock Gerry Rafferty next. Street. With. This. Show. Down. Was little to. Jerry rough day in Baker Street at 10 past 5 and we talk about the moon a lot today a lunar eclipse we can hopefully see around 1030 tonight partial lunar eclipse at least a member of the eagle has landed the words from Neil Armstrong 50 years ago incredible I remember as a boy watching that on television the Apollo 11 mission touching down on the surface of the moon 50 years on the Apollo moon program is probably still humankind single greatest technological achievement arguably on 16th of July 969 astronauts Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins was strapped into their Apollo spacecraft on top of the vast Saturn 5 rocket and then propelled into wall bit in just over 11 minutes this was the historic moment that captivated people across the globe exactly half a century ago in mind I am here now. We have a woman and her back. Was. Wrong. Was. 4 days later Neil Armstrong became the 1st man to set foot on the lunar surface the U.S. Space agency NASA committed huge amounts of resources to what became known as the Apollo program about $403.00. 1000 people worked on the program at a cost time of $25000000000.00 the last astronaut landed on the moon in $972.00 so he was some really returned since then but that could be about to change today NASA once again has a plan to go to the moon aiming for astronauts to land there again by 2024 this time around they want to do things rather differently the aim is to get astronauts on the moon within 5 years and they're hoping humans can establish what will be a permanent base on the nearest cosmic neighbor Marshall Smith is in charge of NASA human lunar exploration team and he's confident this will happen where we were in the in the sixty's where we didn't have anything we didn't have a space industry at all we have a space industry now and we have people have been flying and building systems and know how to work in operate in space and so what we want to do some people think that maybe is an unrealistic goal but it's a very challenging go but I think it is very realistic that we can get there about 2024 and then of course take the next step which we want to do is to have sustained presence at the moon and then beyond that of course has no end of experts when it comes to the space research earlier I spoke to former SCOTT KNIGHT PRESENTER an astronomer at the University of Leicester Dr Paul Abel and of course one of the intriguing things about this is he worked so closely with the Patrick Moore and supported more on Sky night was one of the 1st people to map the moon Patrick did some moon back and May was an answer strong in the very much engaged in move back and actually they were other amateur astronomers as well who went over and joined professional teams in America did not Moon mapping which were also used by NASA to join the moon landings but I did to touch it quite a bit about that Apollo 11 mission and he said it really was an incredible event to be at and he was there live on B.B.C. Television narrating the events and he said it was just unbelievable but he was a object that actually really got him into astronomy the moon was something Patrick always loved to observe and to see. Man stepping up to see people stepping on to the lunar surface the year long struggle of stepping on to the lunar surface for the 1st time I think was an a massive massive buzz for him and it was much more than a sort of stage to publish the stunt event to whatever in terms of the research that was carried out and what we learned from that mission the love was incredible wasn't that it was in actual fact it even right up to the edge of that mission that people were there was one lunar theory was that the the moon surface was completely covered in dust under any any spacecraft landing on the moon would simply sink into it and disappear like quicksand and thankfully they were able to show that wasn't the case and we also learned a lot more about the geology of the nurse in the world that the moon is really you know geologically inactive and it's really quite a fascinating place in its own right. I think one of the most remarkable things was human beings were able to stand on the surface of the moon for the 1st time and look back and see the earth and everyone on it in its entirety as a globe rather than different nations competing for different things nevertheless there is still an awful lot more to learn about in that there is I think one of the most important things about lunar exploration is if we want to go out to malls and beyond the solar system the moon is a very important staging post we know that there is probably now some water rights that as per use making rocket feel it's much quicker because moon has much smaller much less mass in the earth it's much easier to get off the lunar surface in current system than it is from the air so the moon will be a very important staging post a manned exploration of the solar system and we this week the scientists developed an instrument which monitors the very thin atmosphere near to the moon surface and a collaboration with NASA will take another mission to the moon soon yes that's right in fact we have also submissions coming up a lot of nations are interested a lot of space agencies are really interested in the moon. Simply because the long term plan must pay to put a lunar base on the moon and the reason this is important is we might be talking very long term here but we have to remember we only get a finite amount of time on this planet we haven't got the ranch on this planet forever one day the sun will turn into a red giant that expanding the earth and the inner planets we can see and and so if we don't move out of the solar system the human race will die with the sun so it's a very poor part of human longevity and the moon is I think apply an integral part in manned exploration of the rest of the solar system and is that any possibility that the might the chance to find resources on the moon might benefit is here I'm thinking of things like water and oxygen even yes I should imagine there will be end up paying minerals and various things found on the moon surface that will pay of enormous benefits here on the earth as well as for future space travelers could imagine also maybe in the figure far future certainly I remember seeing this in science fiction films when I was young the moon being a tourist destination and space tourism I think up and over to where we have economic like be a fascinating thing for the future you think will the moon look magnificent last night but we're in for a bit of a treat tonight tell me we all quite by coincidence the universe is writing something about the spans of course we have a partial lunar eclipse the state ones this is what happens apostle in a lunar eclipse is what happens when the moon passes into the shadow now the moon have to be full for this to happen but from some places on the moon the pits completely pass into the shadows that won't be the case from the U.K. About 65 percent of the moon will from our point of view will take its be eclipsed So if you go outside and look at the moment that has that youngest the moon will actually rise in Eclipse and the top of it should look sort of dark orange color orange a brown color so that will be a lovely way to mark the 50th anniversary of the Apollo lunar landings and while you're having. Look at it tonight you might be out upon the future a holiday trip for yourself to the to the moon in the next 20 years who knows maybe that will be. Jones with the story of funny. Man the original 3 dog night mama told me not to come up 20 past 5. Let's get moderates on the roads now B.B.C.

Meat 25 past credible story in the news today the surgeons at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London have successfully separated twin girls who were born joined at the head the condition of South and Ma who are 2 years old and from Pakistan was so complex that had to undergo 3 lengthy operations the B.B.C.'s medical correspondent Fergus Walsh has been given some exclusive access to their story so we have one case for the left today sapphire morrow 2 currents one case suffer and Marwood born joined at the top of the skull which was one long Chub they had separate brains but these were fused together the surgery was complex and risky the team at Great Ormond Street decided it would need 3 operations over several months Professor David Dunaway is one of the lead surgeons clearly I think life being separate is better than being joined together we felt there wasn't a very very hard chance that we could do it safely we be thinking quite carefully about whether we should do it or not. Think the whole team failed them. There's an excellent chance of a successful separation here. And here. The 1st 2 operations in October and November lasting a total of 35 hours dealt with dividing the labyrinth of shared blood vessels that crisscrossed from one twin's brain to the other so they are free from suffer going to supply Moros brain has been clamped it took several months for the girls to recover from that so it wasn't until February that the operation to separate them could finally go ahead but the thought for the brain left more was bright for the ship should be running like the flight this took 17 hours and involves surgeons building a top to each girl's head using pieces of bone removed from the shared skull. Safa and more are now separated needed intensive physiotherapy to build their muscle strength and it was only earlier this month that they were finally discharged from hospital. The grueling surgery took its toll the girls now 2 and a home are likely to have learning difficulties but the mother told us she was delighted she could finally hold each twin separately in her arms when the credible story more on that from the B.B.C. News website Fergus Walsh reporting. News headlines of 530 after this from the beautiful sound in the. Bin Laden drive home all.

Doing music life B.B.C. Radio Leicester. Also in the news today the man looking at ways to reform Britain's railways says the system needs to be put at arm's length from government and overseen by an independent body Keith Williams who used to be the boss of British Airways is leading a government review on improvements and he says an independent fact controller type figure should be in charge of day to day operations with more import from local councils and city mayors He's been speaking to the B.B.C. There needs to be real accountability in the railways somebody needs to be accountable to the public for the services that they receive and that needs to be at a national level but we also recognises that the role of the regions needs to be emphasised because there may be what's been lacking in the past is regional import into the national system has been somewhat lacking or ministers ordered the review after passengers in northern and southern England went through weeks of chaos last summer you may remember following the introduction of a new timetable by December punctuality across the country had dropped to a 13 year low Keith Williams says government involvement in the rail network should be limited to overall policy and budget decisions. Tony Miles is from Modern Railways magazine and he hopes ministers will accept the recommendations and take a smaller role the government's more control of the railways now than it was when they were nationalized British pretty much got on with just running the railways now if he wants to change the time to train back up a minute to have to go to the government to ask for permission to do it so freeing up that control and allowing the companies and the role in the street to do the best thing would be a good thing when it comes to fares Keith Williams says major changes are needed and to make the ticketing system simpler and fairer for a start he also wants to see train companies win contracts that are underpinned by performance related targets that's not the case today and these passengers have been telling us what they want from the railways as well. Is less cancellations. Expensive I'd like to see the rails public ownership I think we pay a lot of money. To go back into the coffers for the taxpayer Well meanwhile one trade union has criticised the review for ducking the question of whether the train should be renationalise but it seems that's not on the agenda for now this is a review commissioned by the current Conservative government and unless there's an election it will be Tory ministers who will decide how to respond to the report when it's published later this autumn. Thank you. Making me be. The best. Thank you. Thank you me. Yes some of. These people. Crazy because when they. Get better. Thank you. Thank you. I don't. Know if that's the song. Talking about the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission the 1st man on the moon on the show today you may remember Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins today we've been marking that anniversary and looking at how space exploration has developed for in that massive moment in history our reporter and he's a cadre has been on this report from less the space center. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh God And it's with those words Neil Armstrong became the 1st person to work on the moon after a journey that lasted 4 days that journey began 50 years ago today when the largest and most powerful rocket ever built Saturn 5 blasted him and his fellow Apollo 11 astronauts into orbit is let's say rockets are exciting business if you're interested in space it's not the rocket here at the National Space Center in Leicester they've got a rocket on display that's getting a lot of interest along with loads of other space artifacts week they're celebrating man's 1st steps on the main the safe haven happening at the weekend lives of families are getting involved including mama food just from a baby I think is important because you know there's a lot but I guess still know and it's good that they be should know about it and me What are you excited about seeing here then. And excited to get back. And did you know that people went on the Maine for the fast time 50 years ago. You did know that how did you know that. Piers Hourigan a caption and. Do you think you got to go to meet him. I have 6 different rock samples that were hand-picked by Apollo action. Task is from the National Space Center in less we've been able to get some of the lunar samples brought back from the Apollo missions so not just sort of forward here to Via but some that have been hand picked by ash and it's from the moon what does moon rock. You know as the men can smell quite interesting I have said it can smell a bit like gunpowder so quite dusty a little bit explosive perhaps and what it feels like it's quite like a normal rock quite like you got a small amount of it the U.S. Is still the only country to have put people on the main of the countries including India have sent satellites up but none have had as much success as America when it comes to lunar exploration. One of the country's top scientists in this area Dr Mahesh Anand explains why it is risky it is costly You know there were only 2 superpowers that was the USA against what was known as the Soviet Union but once Americans actually achieved the feat of landing a man on the moon everybody talked that actually the job was done. For some children here in the Space Center today already on their summer holidays others on school trips I'm pre-writing was 23 and I'm a science teacher at Crump a community college and having teaches that are fairly young who are Asian I'm promoting science is a massive thing for girls as part of one of the main reasons I went into teaching her it's important that young people are engaged in physics and space some of us think the cost of space exploration is changed much for the 2nd man 2nd the main Buzz Aldrin hasn't been enough progress in space exploration since his mission 50 years ago we landed explored got back up again Ron. Came back. 50 years. Brown. Said the young ones have their own ideas about why they'd want what would you like to see in space if they are not scientists and doesn't think that much chance of life on the main. Anything else absolutely I have to keep an open mind about it. Because we believe that maybe the environments that would be conducive to supporting life at one time. Of course there is a revelation I don't want to spoil it for you there is a revelation that the moon isn't actually I'm afraid made of cheese.

And this man Kurt joins us tonight thank you very much thank you and what an introduction and similarly every everything has opened up now you've got the driving range of the Course as well how are things started as I understand you got a hole in one on the opening day of the course starting with it was unbelievable 2 chaps quite new to the game and one of them got a whole new modern day Bob It was absolutely brilliant but now the Course is all open now been open for 4 weeks and it's lovely people been really keen to play it and let the top trace of range has been open since October and he's just busy all the time and but the rain the course is open and people enjoying it and that sums up I suppose everything that you all trying to do the idea that somebody who hasn't played very much comes along and makes that sort of impact on your course as well you're trying to get people who don't play. Regularly along to play golf Oh yeah we're we've invited everybody really whether you new to the game or not it's there's no we don't have any dress rules there's no real rules it's just common to respect the course and enjoy yourselves and I'm not really interested in what you wear in or things like that I'm just trying to take away the slightly stuffy edge the Gulf has inflicted upon itself perhaps for too long and I just want to open the doors really said ladies feel welcome everybody's bokeh Mr customer and as long as you're enjoying yourself you're welcome and it's proved really popular actually just a slightly more relaxed view of playing the game but getting people into it really will be talking up much more about that later on in the shot Next up a former professional tennis player Wimbledon champion from Leicestershire formerly ranked as British number one a top 10 player in the world so you are now a will to pass it will play an ambassador for sport in the local area so you are welcome back to life Mr Good evening Giants How are you good evening and the recently retired I've just had my very last season or 2 of us we think that what led to that decision. Old age injuries basically now I think I've been I've been kind of trying to slow down and stop playing for a while just trying to be for this takeover and stuff and I think you know you know you know when you know in terms of when it when I when it's enough and in there this season really paid off the games I've gone through and you a game so you know now is not right time where you engrossed in Wimbledon this week because of course it's a massive weekend sport and you'd be cricket fans so I wanted that remote control must have been quite.
