let me know what you think of the government s proposal. do you think there should be a required level of service during strikes or do you think it s an attack on the right to strike? i m on twitter at annita bbc and use the #bbcyourquestions pro democracy rallies take place across brazil in response to sunday s violent attack on government buildings by a far right mob. the historic uk space mission launched from a modified plane ends in failure after a technical issue stops a rocket reaching orbit. good morning and welcome. two british men who were working as volunteers in ukraine are missing. christopher parry, who s 28, and 48 year old andrew bagshaw, were last seen on friday in the eastern donetsk region, where fighting has been intense. it s understood mr parry, from truro in cornwall, had been helping people evacuate the city of bakhmut. the family of mr bagshaw say he was delivering food and medicines, and helping elderly people move away from the frontline.
the mission started so well. at spaceport cornwall, it was time for the jumbo jet to take off. and there it goes. it s lift off for the plane. but this is just the beginning. the next step is to release the rocket and start a new era for uk space. godspeed, launcher one, godspeed, cosmic girl on this historic european and uk mission to open space for everyone. 2,000 people came to watch, ready to see what they thought would be a moment of history. an hour into the flight, the rocket, called launcher one, fired its engines after it was released from the plane. so far, so good. but then, this. it appears that launcher one has suffered an anomaly, which will prevent us from making orbit for this mission. there was a problem with the rocket, and the mission was over.
bingtao and his compatriot zhao xintong are absent. two of ten chinese players suspended since october over alleged match fixing. and a cloud hangs over the sport. i think we are one to two weeks away from the completion of that inquiry. you know, it won t take long to assess whether there are charges to be levied against any of those players after that. we ve been on this since october, day in, day out, trying to push it and push it and push it, and it s been unfortunate that we ve continued with new evidence coming to light. meanwhile, one of the biggest names in the sport, ronnie o sullivan, produced a dominant victory to give the packed crowd plenty to cheer about. but the subject of potential corruption in snooker didn t appear to have rocked the rocket. i m sure it s happened in football. it hasn t harmed football. i m sure it s happened in tennis. it hasn t done tennis any harm. i m sure some golfers along the line have done something. it doesn t seem to have affected that sport
and, the historic uk space mission launched from a modified plane ends in failure after a technical issue stops a rocket reaching orbit. sport, and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good morning. a generational talent and a player who allowed his country to believe. just some of the reflections on the career of gareth bale, who announced his retirement from football at the age of 33. his last appearance as a player came for his country at the world cup in qatar, having helped his side qualify for the tournamnent for the first time since 1958, scoring their only goal in their draw with the usa. his career started at southampton, moving to tottenham, then real madrid, winning five champions league trophies no british player has won more. a feeling perhaps he hasn t got the recognition his success deserves, but won t those welsh fans remember him fondly? we were talking about fa cup upsets yesterday.
