japan s first new medium lift rocket for three decades and touted as a possible competitor to the american firm spacex. the 57 metre tall rocket successfully blasted off from the tanegashima space port, but its speed then dropped and the space agency issued a command to destroy the vehicle. the legendary bbc wildlife presenter, sir david attenborough, is returning to the screens and for the first time his focus is on the british isles. filmed over a three year period, it s the first time we ve seen sir david on location in several years. it promises to reveal a previously unseen side of british wildlife. here s our climate editor, justin rowlatt. welcome to a place that is astonishing. nature in these islands can be extraordinary. it rivals anything i ve seen elsewhere. it s not far it s home.
