Good night. Played the game and gave fit every ounce of life. And the crowd they thronged to see such a free young spirits. My good god, there wasnt many who come home. Roger bone, markjones, and salfords eddie coleman. Tommy taylor, geoffrey bennett, david pecaut duncan edwards. Dublins on boy. My god, there wasnt any who came home. There are those who went down that long, long road before us, but we try to keep them in our site. And memories high as the busby babes are in mortal. The red devils that never died. Gregg harry ending sportsday with john watson. Harry gregg. The worlds most powerful rocket is being launched into space tonight. The falcon heavy launcher, made by elon musks spacex company, has twice the lifting capacity of any other rocket. But it is also, uniquely, intended to be re usable. If all goes well, mr musk believes the rockets payload could be in orbit for several hundred million yea rs. Our science correspondent, victoria gill, is here with me now. Victoria, when will it set of . Thats the big question hanging over this space launch at the moment. The original window open half an hour ago, and actually we have had a delay until 8 45pm. Spacex is saying the window will now open at seven 20p. But all of the correspondence that we have been keeping an eye on on the ground at Cape Canaveral has been saying that the delay has been pushed back, the reason for that is the weather. In the upper levels of the weather. In the upper levels of the launch profile, the arc of the rocket is going to take, the winds are too high. It needs to be absolutely perfect. Because its going to, as well as launch of this incredibly powerful, dude amounts of fuel, very high risk rocket, its also got to do this kind of aerial dance, where these separate cores, when they separate, they spin around and return to earth and planned on these two launch pads, and the central core lands on this drone ship in the middle of the atlantic. It really has to be absolutely spot on, otherwise they wont take the risk. We are now waiting to see, because the launch 15 minutes before it closes, were now waiting to see if we might becoming back to watch this tomorrow. We ought to stress that these pictures you are seeing are not alive. They have been recorded in the past to give us a sense of what this might look like if it takes off. Just explain to us more, victoria, about the purpose of all of this . It is the biggest rocket in the world. 23 stories high . Thats right. The number of engines that is giving it this incredible 5 millionlbs thrust, 27 engines all have to fire at once. That is an incredibly risky thing. If it goes well, that will be the most powerful operational rocket. It means it will be able to lift payloads that are heavier than anything else. That means that bigger satellites will be able to carry it, it also means that you will be able to get bigger, more complex robots possibly to the moon oi complex robots possibly to the moon or to mars. Deep space travel and Space Exploration with more technologically advanced, heavier kit, becomes a real target for spacex as a carrier. It sounds very exciting, risky as well. And there have been failures, have there . Yes, imean, have been failures, have there . Yes, i mean, Rocket Science in itself is a risky business. Spacex has had some fairly recent, very high profile failures. We are watching one from 2014 right now, which was just an explosion on launch. There was one in 2016 on the launch pad. It did some really serious damage at Cape Canaveral. And when youre firing 27 engines all at once, you know, the most powerful booster with all of that rocket fuel, that could do even more damage. 0ne all of that rocket fuel, that could do even more damage. One of the things that elon musk has said ahead of this test launch is that hell consider it a success if it gets away from the launch pad, and then it doesnt do quite so much destruction as his falcon 9 rocket did in 2016. So, its a case ofjust watch and wait and fingers crossed. And now theyll just watch and wait and fingers crossed. And now theylljust be that very short launch window to watch and wait. It sounds like elon musk is managing all our expectations, isnt he briefly tell me, how does matter fit into all of this, and the space agencies . Spacex does have a contract with nasa to supply materials to the International Space station, it also has a contract for future astronauts to be sent into space. Nasa is watching this very, very carefully. Nasas also competing with this rocket development, because it has its own very heavy rocket in development at the moment, the space launch system. That has actually been delayed until 2022, which makes this test launch commercially hugely important for elon musk and spacex. Victoria, we must leave it there for now. I note you will keep an eye on this for us, and fingers crossed that it does happen within this window you will have been describing. Victoria gill, oui have been describing. Victoria gill, our science correspondent, thank you. Some news in from taiwan. There has been a huge earthquake there, and rotors are now reporting that two people have died reuters reporting. And more than 100 have been injured in this earthquake. Rescuers in taiwan are searching for people trapped in a hotel which partially collapsed after the earthquake, which measured 6. 4 on the richter scale. People have been taken to the richter scale. People have been ta ken to safety, the richter scale. People have been taken to safety, but as i say, two are dead and more than 100 or injured. More on that as we get it. Time for a look at the weather, letsjoin time for a look at the weather, lets join matt for the forecast. Hello, rebecca, a familiar wintry story to our weather, a few people have seen snowfall today, but tonight the emphasis will switch away from the snowfall towards a widespread frost and risk of ice, particularly where we have seen rain and snow today. A ridge of High Pressure is building behind this weather front, clearing pressure is building behind this weatherfront, clearing skies help temperatures to drop. The weather front is not done yet, still some snow at the moment across yorkshire and lincolnshire, not a huge amount, some towards east anglia, a few showers down the western fringes of wales and cornwall. The snow will push across parts of east anglia and the south east tonight, it will give a covering for one or two, norfolk and snuff it is brazel suffered at greatest risk of snow. For most, clearing skies, temperatures in towns and cities. Wherever you see blue, there is a frost, very few places are immune to it. In raw areas, temperatures could drop to 11 areas, temperatures could drop to areas, temperatures could drop to 11 in areas, temperatures could drop to 11 in rural areas, temperatures could drop to 11 inruralareas. Areas, temperatures could drop to 11 in ruralareas. A sunny start, not much cloud around, a few wintry flurries in east anglia and the south east. The morning rush hour towards the north and west, cloud increasing. 0rkney and shetland seeing the odd snow flurry, is could be the main hazard. Cloud is could be the main hazard. Cloud is increasing across north west scotla nd is increasing across north west scotland and northern ireland, much of scotland, england and wales have blue skies overhead. Showers are pushing in towards pembrokeshire, and quitea pushing in towards pembrokeshire, and quite a bit of cloud across east anglia and the south east, any wintry showers confined to the coast as the weather front gradually pulls away. It ridge of High Pressure pulls in, a dry and bright date for england and wales, you can see cloud increasing in scotland and northern ireland, snow on the high lands for a time. 5 10 centimetres, but it turns back to rain. Sleet over higher ground. Temperatures between five and 8 degrees, it chilly day. A bit breezy tomorrow, but the midlands and east anglia will have sunshine for longest. Thursday most likely to see a frost. Cloud elsewhere keeping frost at bay. Some heavy bursts of showers in western parts of wales later on. Brighter skies for scotland and northern ireland. Thursday one of the milder days of the week, with temperatures in one or two spots getting very close to double figures. Ill have more updates throughout the evening. Bye for now. You are watching beyond 100 days. Buckle up, it is a roller coaster ride on global stock markets. The dowjones was up and down today after a massive fall yesterday. It seems wall street is nervous because main street is doing better and that has implications for investors around the world. The white house is wondering whether to declassify mmo on intelligence about trump and russia. Also, last week donald trump was extending the figleaf to democrats but now he has accused them of treason for failing to applaud his speech. An american. Someone said treasonous. Why not . ,
