:00:00. > :00:09.A jury is shown the last moments of Fusilier Lee Rigby, captured on

:00:10. > :00:12.security cameras. Rigby was run over by a car in

:00:13. > :00:17.Woolwich last year and killed before horrified onlookers.

:00:18. > :00:21.The two accused arrived at court amid high security. Michael

:00:22. > :00:25.Adebowale and Michael Adebolajo both deny murder.

:00:26. > :00:29.The relatives of Lee Rigby left court in tears. We'll bring you the

:00:30. > :00:33.latest from Woolwich. Also tonight: The BBC learns of

:00:34. > :00:37.government plans to reduce the number of homes that energy

:00:38. > :00:41.companies have to insulate. Charles Saatchi in court says he has

:00:42. > :00:45.no proof his ex-wife Nigella Lawson ever took drugs.

:00:46. > :00:46.And Arsenal's major investor says foreign investment is good for

:00:47. > :00:58.football. In Sportsday, Gary Ballance helps

:00:59. > :01:00.his chances of a place in the Ashes Test team with a half century in

:01:01. > :01:26.Alice Springs. Good evening.

:01:27. > :01:29.The horrific last moments of Fusilier Lee Rigby have been

:01:30. > :01:34.described at the Old Bailey, as the trial opened of the two men accused

:01:35. > :01:37.of his murder. There were gasps in court as video footage was shown of

:01:38. > :01:41.the 25-year-old soldier being hit by a car before being attacked with a

:01:42. > :01:45.meat cleaver and a knife. His relatives left the court in tears

:01:46. > :01:48.moments before. Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale are accused of

:01:49. > :01:52.killing him in a street in Woolwich, south east London, before horrified

:01:53. > :02:01.onlookers in May last year. They deny the charges. June Kelly is in

:02:02. > :02:07.Woolwich. The details of this court case are

:02:08. > :02:14.so distressing. That's right. It's now six months since the's life was

:02:15. > :02:22.taken at this spot in Woolwich. His barracks is just up the road. --

:02:23. > :02:30.be's life. Just a warning, this report contains some distressing

:02:31. > :02:35.evidence. B, a soldier who had served in

:02:36. > :02:39.Afghanistan, caught on CCTV shortly before he lost his life on a street

:02:40. > :02:44.in London. With other family members, his mother alive -- arrived

:02:45. > :02:49.at the Old Bailey for the opening of the trial. The family were in court

:02:50. > :02:54.as the prosecution described how he was repeatedly stabbed and almost

:02:55. > :02:59.decapitated by the men on trial. One witness said the actions were like a

:03:00. > :03:03.butcher attacking a joint of me. Michael Adebowale and Michael

:03:04. > :03:08.Adebolajo are both pleading not guilty to the soldier's murder. The

:03:09. > :03:11.court heard that Adebolajo told witnesses at the scene, these

:03:12. > :03:19.soldiers go to our land and kill and, our people, so an eye for an

:03:20. > :03:23.eye, a tooth for a tooth. The men were brought to London in a high

:03:24. > :03:27.security convoy. Traffic was stopped as the vans carrying them made their

:03:28. > :03:31.way into the old daily. In court, footage was shown of Lyrica be

:03:32. > :03:36.crossing the road close to the barracks when the defendants drove

:03:37. > :03:41.their car at him. He was thrown into the air and knocked unconscious. The

:03:42. > :03:46.men then dragged the soldier's body into the middle-of-the-road. The

:03:47. > :03:51.prosecuting barrister said they had committed, you may think, eight

:03:52. > :03:54.cowardly and callous murder by deliberately attacking an unarmed

:03:55. > :03:58.man in plain clothes from behind, using a vehicle as a weapon. And

:03:59. > :04:08.then they murdered him and mutilated his body with the meat cleaver and

:04:09. > :04:11.knives. Adebolajo spoke to witnesses. The jury saw this

:04:12. > :04:16.recording, as the men waited for police to arrive. The defendants

:04:17. > :04:19.also deny conspiring to murder a police officer and the attempted

:04:20. > :04:28.murder of a police officer. They will be back in court on Monday. The

:04:29. > :04:31.jury was shown a lot of visual evidence today, some of it released

:04:32. > :04:39.to the media, some of it to graphic to be put into the public domain.

:04:40. > :04:43.Fusilier Lee Rigby's mother left the court before the footage showing the

:04:44. > :04:46.end of her son's life here. As the political battle over energy

:04:47. > :04:50.bills continues, the BBC has seen a letter sent to energy firms by the

:04:51. > :04:53.government last night. It sets out how a scheme that forces the

:04:54. > :04:58.companies to give free insulation to low income households will be

:04:59. > :05:00.reduced by 30%. Building groups say this will severely damage the green

:05:01. > :05:03.energy industry and lead to thousands of job losses. It also

:05:04. > :05:14.means much less free insulation for poorer households. John Moylan has

:05:15. > :05:18.more. Energy prices have shot up the

:05:19. > :05:23.political agenda, leading to questions over how much green

:05:24. > :05:27.policies are adding to our bills. The government's answer is to roll

:05:28. > :05:32.back the green levies. In Lithuania today, at a summit on immigration,

:05:33. > :05:38.the Prime Minister was facing questions over what the government

:05:39. > :05:42.plans to do. I want to help households and families by getting

:05:43. > :05:45.sustainably lower energy prices. The only way to do that is by increasing

:05:46. > :05:49.competition and rolling back the costs of some of the levies on

:05:50. > :05:54.bills. I said that is what we are going to do and that is what we are

:05:55. > :05:57.going to do. Tonight, the BBC has learned how, from a letter the

:05:58. > :06:05.government sent to the green industry. It says the biggest scheme

:06:06. > :06:10.will be scaled back, a key energy efficiency target reduced by 30%.

:06:11. > :06:15.That means only 25,000 homes will receive solid wall insulation each

:06:16. > :06:21.year, compared with 80,000 homes treated in 2012, and companies will

:06:22. > :06:26.have an extra two years to meet the target. The plans have infuriated

:06:27. > :06:30.many in the energy efficiency industry. In open letters to the

:06:31. > :06:33.Prime Minister this week, firms warned that the move would hit

:06:34. > :06:39.vulnerable households and lead to thousands of job cuts. The industry

:06:40. > :06:43.has geared up to deliver the government ambition of retrofitting

:06:44. > :06:50.14 million of our hardest to heat homes in the UK. A step back will

:06:51. > :06:53.have a huge impact on jobs, and hundreds of millions of contracts

:06:54. > :06:57.have been signed. But the worst hit will be the people living in those

:06:58. > :07:03.homes. The only way to protect against future will -- future bill

:07:04. > :07:07.rises is to incinerate homes. The review of the green levies is due to

:07:08. > :07:15.be set out in the autumn statement next week, and it could result in a

:07:16. > :07:18.cut to energy bills of around ?50. Industry sources have told the BBC

:07:19. > :07:22.that the government also asked energy companies to commit to not

:07:23. > :07:26.raising prices on the back of government policies until the middle

:07:27. > :07:33.of 2015. The government denied it had asked the companies to hold down

:07:34. > :07:38.prices. But Labour seized on the row. Ed Miliband was unveiling a

:07:39. > :07:41.green paper that set out details of Labour's plan to freeze energy

:07:42. > :07:47.prices and reform what he calls a broker market. We now know that

:07:48. > :07:52.while David Cameron has publicly been opposing an energy price

:07:53. > :07:58.freeze, in private he has been pleading with energy companies to

:07:59. > :08:02.get him off the hook. If the big six suppliers are to reduce prices in

:08:03. > :08:06.return for a cut to green levies, we should find out in coming days.

:08:07. > :08:13.Whatever happens, it is unlikely to take the heat out of the energy row.

:08:14. > :08:18.With me is Carole Walker. The issue of energy bills is becoming

:08:19. > :08:23.increasingly contentious. It really is a burning issue at the moment.

:08:24. > :08:26.With talks still going on between energy companies and the government,

:08:27. > :08:29.and a very complexes issue to be resolved, it is no surprise we are

:08:30. > :08:36.getting some contradict re-briefings. The Prime Minister has

:08:37. > :08:39.been stressing that he wants more competition, but he also wants to

:08:40. > :08:45.roll back the levies and charges that make up a small but significant

:08:46. > :08:48.part of our energy bills. Also, the government wants commitment from the

:08:49. > :08:53.energy companies that if they bring down charges it will be passed on to

:08:54. > :08:58.customers. They do not want energy companies pocketing the cash. We

:08:59. > :09:03.have learned details of one of the changes, the changes to the ECO

:09:04. > :09:07.scheme, but that is just one of a package of measures that the

:09:08. > :09:11.Chancellor is going to unveil in his Autumn Statement on Thursday.

:09:12. > :09:15.Although ministers have been striving to convince us that

:09:16. > :09:19.Labour's offer of a price freeze is a con that will not work, there is

:09:20. > :09:22.no doubt that the government is under real pressure to show that it

:09:23. > :09:27.has got a coherent plan to bring down our energy bills.

:09:28. > :09:30.The art dealer Charles Saatchi has told a court he did not know whether

:09:31. > :09:34.his ex-wife Nigella Lawson ever took drugs. He said he was "utterly

:09:35. > :09:37.bereft" that a private email he sent to the television chef, referring to

:09:38. > :09:42.her being "off her head" on drugs, had been made public. Mr Saatchi was

:09:43. > :09:44.giving evidence in the trial of two sisters accused of defrauding the

:09:45. > :09:56.family. Sangita Myska's report contains flash photography.

:09:57. > :10:00.Met by a huge media scrum, Charles Saatchi arrived at court to face

:10:01. > :10:05.tough questions about intimate details of his marriage to Nigella

:10:06. > :10:08.Lawson. In court, he sat and listened intently as an e-mail he

:10:09. > :10:14.had written to Miss Lawson a month ago was read to the court. It said,

:10:15. > :10:19.of course, now the Grillos will get off on the basis that you were so

:10:20. > :10:23.off your heads on drugs that you allowed the sisters to spend

:10:24. > :10:28.whatever they liked. I believe every word the Grillos have said.

:10:29. > :10:33.Following the publication of these photos, Nigella Lawson divorced

:10:34. > :10:38.Charles Saatchi. He holds her by the throat and appears to pinch her nose

:10:39. > :10:42.outside a restaurant. When asked about the photos in court, he said,

:10:43. > :10:47.I was not gripping, strangling or threatening her. I was holding her

:10:48. > :10:55.head by the neck to make her focus. Can we be clear? Asked if the row

:10:56. > :10:58.was about drugs, he said, no. Until they separated, Nigella Lawson and

:10:59. > :11:03.Charles Saatchi appeared to lead a charmed life. She was a celebrated

:11:04. > :11:08.TV cook and he had founded a leading advertising agency. He was asked

:11:09. > :11:13.about his allegation that she had taken class a and class B drugs. If

:11:14. > :11:19.you ask me whether I knew that Nigella ever took drugs, the answer

:11:20. > :11:26.is no. He later added, not for one second did he believe his ex-wife

:11:27. > :11:29.was truly off her head. The home life of Nigella Lawson, Charles

:11:30. > :11:34.Saatchi and the Grillos was also detailed in court. It was in

:11:35. > :11:39.Belgravia at their home that the Grillos sisters moved in and forged

:11:40. > :11:42.the relationship with the family. According to Charles Saatchi, they

:11:43. > :11:46.did the laundry, organised the household and took the children on

:11:47. > :11:50.holidays. The defence team claims that one of them was so integral to

:11:51. > :11:56.the family that she was even given a bedroom very close to Nigella

:11:57. > :12:00.Lawson's. Elisabetta Grillo and Francesca Grillo are on trial for

:12:01. > :12:04.allegedly differ ordering the couple by over ?500,000 by using a company

:12:05. > :12:10.credit card. Both deny the charges against them. Charles Saatchi

:12:11. > :12:14.tonight returns to his London home. Before leaving court, told the jury

:12:15. > :12:26.he was utterly heartbroken at having lost his wife, and that he still

:12:27. > :12:30.adored her. The Government is committed to introducing shared

:12:31. > :12:33.parental leave for new parents by 2015. The new rights would encourage

:12:34. > :12:36.men to play a more hands-on role when they become fathers and stop

:12:37. > :12:41.women from feeling they have to choose between having a career or a

:12:42. > :12:45.baby. Currently, mothers are entitled to 52 weeks maternity,

:12:46. > :12:48.while fathers are allowed to take two weeks. Under the proposals, 50

:12:49. > :12:53.weeks of leave could be shared between the couple. Both parents

:12:54. > :13:02.would be entitled to up to 18 weeks of unpaid leave for every child

:13:03. > :13:05.under the age of 18. In a concession to employers, workers could be asked

:13:06. > :13:07.to take the leave in one continuous block. We have spent the day in

:13:08. > :13:12.Liverpool, talking to parents and employers. Edwardian. That is how

:13:13. > :13:16.Nick Clegg described our childcare system. It may not be quite like

:13:17. > :13:20.this today, but he thinks the current rules aren't suited to the

:13:21. > :13:25.21st century. There are lots of mums and dads were maybe the mum, having

:13:26. > :13:28.taken some time off, wants to get back to work more quickly and the

:13:29. > :13:34.dad wants to take longer time off to look after the new baby. At the

:13:35. > :13:40.moment, the rules stop mums and dads taking those decisions for

:13:41. > :13:46.themselves. But changes could make a splash. At this pool on the Wirral

:13:47. > :13:50.today, no dads but the mums were pleased at the prospect of sharing

:13:51. > :13:54.the fun and the responsibilities. I think it's really good. It will give

:13:55. > :14:00.a chance for the fathers to bond with the baby. Myself, I've got a

:14:01. > :14:05.career, so it gives me a chance to get back in the workplace. There's

:14:06. > :14:09.lots of implications financially, and breast-feeding as well is an

:14:10. > :14:14.issue. Obviously men can't take on that role. It will be something we

:14:15. > :14:18.discuss. Most parents will welcome more flexibility when it comes to

:14:19. > :14:25.grappling with childcare and all the difficult choices it involves. But

:14:26. > :14:30.what do employers think? Most business groups broadly support

:14:31. > :14:34.them, having scored concessions. John Bolton runs a sports coaching

:14:35. > :14:41.company. He can see it from both sides. As a new dad, I can see the

:14:42. > :14:43.benefits to the child, both parents of potentially sharing

:14:44. > :14:49.responsibility. From a professional point of view, as a business owner,

:14:50. > :14:52.yes, I can see at causing headaches, administrative issues, replacing

:14:53. > :14:57.staff, particularly in a company like ours that relies on the

:14:58. > :15:02.consistency of staff. The government studied Sweden's childcare system

:15:03. > :15:06.before coming up with today's measures. Fathers there take a more

:15:07. > :15:12.active role in childcare. For some, our plans don't go far enough. But

:15:13. > :15:16.if then -- for the next generation, dads will at least have the option

:15:17. > :15:24.to play a bigger role, that if they can afford it. A further 19

:15:25. > :15:27.hospitals across England are to have their links with Jimmy Savile

:15:28. > :15:31.investigated. Enquiries are already under way at 13 hospitals and one

:15:32. > :15:36.hospice. Jimmy Savile has been accused of the using his voluntary

:15:37. > :15:40.work at many of them as a cover to abuse patients. The troubled Co-op

:15:41. > :15:43.Bank has cleared the last major hurdle in its rescue deal. Retail

:15:44. > :15:48.bond holders, including some pensioners, have backed the terms of

:15:49. > :15:55.the deal by a large majority. The plan is designed to fill a ?1.5

:15:56. > :15:59.billion hole in the bank's finances. The pay of Britain's highest earning

:16:00. > :16:02.bankers rose by more than a third last year, because they received

:16:03. > :16:06.bonuses almost four times their basic salary. A report published by

:16:07. > :16:11.the European banking authority shows that average total pay, including

:16:12. > :16:18.salaries, bonuses and pensions, rose by 35% to ?1.6 billion. It's not

:16:19. > :16:23.exactly going to endear bankers to people. The figures do look

:16:24. > :16:27.staggering at face value. Here is another one for you. Last year,

:16:28. > :16:34.there were more than 2700 bankers in London earning more than 1 million

:16:35. > :16:39.euros, about ?800,000. That was up 11%. The next highest in the EU was

:16:40. > :16:43.Germany, with just 212. London is by far the biggest financial centre in

:16:44. > :16:47.the EU, so you would expect more bankers to be there. As one source

:16:48. > :16:51.put it, these figures do include French bankers, German bankers,

:16:52. > :16:56.American bankers who are working in London. It's a bit of a complicated

:16:57. > :17:30.picture. This is presumably going to change with the bonus cap being

:17:31. > :17:33.introduced next year. Guess, it starts in January. George Osborne is

:17:34. > :17:35.challenging it in the courts, but that cap limits bonuses to twice

:17:36. > :17:37.salary, as long as it's approved by shareholders. These figures showed

:17:38. > :17:39.London bonuses were nearly four times, so something has to change

:17:40. > :17:42.quickly because the London banks will have to apply this from

:17:43. > :17:44.January, until the court case result is heard. What seems to be happening

:17:45. > :17:47.is banks are simply going to move from bonuses to other types of page,

:17:48. > :17:49.perfectly legally. So the ov erall pay bill will be the same but

:17:50. > :17:52.actually, while that the cap won't make a great deal of difference,

:17:53. > :17:55.London within the cap. People have been saying for a while that the cap

:17:56. > :17:57.won't make a great deal of difference needs to keep competitive

:17:58. > :18:00.and keep paying these kind of levels of remuneration. EU by the end of

:18:01. > :18:02.2017 has been approved by the House of Commons. The legislation passed

:18:03. > :18:05.its final stage in the Commons, despite efforts to delay by some

:18:06. > :18:07.Labour MPs. The bill will now move to the House of Lords for scrutiny

:18:45. > :18:46.ownership of English clubs. He said takeovers by controversial figures

:18:47. > :18:52.like Roman Abramovich are a good thing, and benefit the British

:18:53. > :18:57.economy. He's been speaking to our sports he has a fortune he has a

:18:58. > :19:06.fortune worth more than. He is close to power in the Kremlin and has a

:19:07. > :19:09.vast global but it is Guzman's investment in English football which

:19:10. > :19:11.has brought in most attention but it is Guzman's investment in English

:19:12. > :19:15.football which has brought him most attention. The a third of Premier

:19:16. > :19:20.League leaders owns a third Premier League control. In the past he has

:19:21. > :19:22.criticised the club's lack of spending. But the arrival of

:19:23. > :19:25.message, but would like full control. In the past he has

:19:26. > :19:34.criticised the club's lack of spending. But the arrival of has

:19:35. > :19:37.sparked a revival for Arsene Wenger's team. What does he think of

:19:38. > :19:42.their direction now? Where we win trophy. This is most important for

:19:43. > :19:51.football. Are you not happy with the way things are going at Arsenal? If

:19:52. > :19:56.I am a shareholder in my team, the position number one, I'm very happy.

:19:57. > :20:01.His change of tone suggests the boardroom Cold War here at Arsenal

:20:02. > :20:06.could be at an end. But the wider ideological debate about how our

:20:07. > :20:10.great football clubs are owned and run, well, that's far from over.

:20:11. > :20:14.More than half of the Premier League's clubs are now owned by

:20:15. > :20:20.foreign investors like Roman Abramovich at Chelsea and the

:20:21. > :20:22.Glazers at Manchester United. He believes that those who say foreign

:20:23. > :20:30.owners should be barred have got it wrong. If you have a legal right to

:20:31. > :20:39.buy something. You don't think it's bad for English football? No. I am

:20:40. > :20:46.sure it is good. Everything in the economy when investors, and invest

:20:47. > :20:57.in the economy, in British football, it is a big part of

:20:58. > :21:00.entertainment economy. The glory and glamour of lifting the Premier

:21:01. > :21:05.League trophy is not the only thing that attracts foreign investors. It

:21:06. > :21:09.is the English game's vast commercial potential. And with no

:21:10. > :21:16.sign of the money drying up, we should expect the foreign invasion

:21:17. > :21:19.to continue for some time yet. Potential treatments for cancer,

:21:20. > :21:23.heart disease and other common conditions rightly get a lot of

:21:24. > :21:27.attention. But rare diseases are also a major problem in the UK.

:21:28. > :21:32.There's better diagnosis, yet it can be hard to find funding to develop a

:21:33. > :21:37.cure. At some time in their lives, one in 17 people will be affected.

:21:38. > :21:41.There are over 5000 recognised rare diseases. Among them is a painful

:21:42. > :21:46.and incurable skin condition. Now a trial has begun with a new cell

:21:47. > :21:49.therapy. We followed one girl through the treatment. You might

:21:50. > :21:56.find the pictures at the start of the report upsetting. For

:21:57. > :21:59.11-year-old Sirhan, this is a daily routine, having her dressings

:22:00. > :22:07.changed. She's one of around 8000 people in the UK with EB, a genetic

:22:08. > :22:11.condition which means the skin blisters and tears at the slightest

:22:12. > :22:17.friction. It affects not just her outer skin but her throat and even

:22:18. > :22:23.the surface of her eyes. There is no moment of any minute of any day that

:22:24. > :22:29.she is not in some pain somewhere on her body. I don't think any of us

:22:30. > :22:35.can really appreciate what that is like. Her severe form of EB is

:22:36. > :22:39.getting progressively worse. Most patients develop malignant skin

:22:40. > :22:45.cancer before their mid-30s. Now she is one of ten children testing this

:22:46. > :22:50.new treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital. It involves an infusion of

:22:51. > :22:55.donated bone marrow cells. The hope being these will migrate to her

:22:56. > :23:00.injured skin and encourage healing. Three months later, and although her

:23:01. > :23:05.skin is still very damaged, it is for the first time showing some

:23:06. > :23:12.improvement. Doctors say it's not so inflamed and she is in less pain. I

:23:13. > :23:16.think that things have got a lot better and that my skin is a lot

:23:17. > :23:24.less bread and salt. It feels a lot less salt and less itchy as well.

:23:25. > :23:29.But it's still pretty tough? Yes. For the team at Kings College London

:23:30. > :23:34.who developed the treatment it is highly encouraging. But it's not a

:23:35. > :23:37.cure. We expect the anti-inflammatory and better wound

:23:38. > :23:41.healing effects of these cells will last for several months, perhaps

:23:42. > :23:45.six, nine months, maybe even a year. At that stage we can think, maybe we

:23:46. > :23:50.can do this treatment again, or maybe we will be moving on to do an

:23:51. > :23:55.even effective treatment. There's a long way to go with this research,

:23:56. > :23:58.but if this and future trials succeed then the potential benefits

:23:59. > :24:02.for patients with this rare skin disease are enormous. But it can

:24:03. > :24:06.also have far wider medical applications for the treatment of

:24:07. > :24:18.damaged skin, such as wounds, burns and ulcers. Rare diseases often

:24:19. > :24:22.struggle to get research funds. Sohana's parents have raised more

:24:23. > :24:26.than ?2 million for trials to help find treatments for this

:24:27. > :24:31.debilitating treatment -- sees. It's more than 40 years since man last

:24:32. > :24:35.stepped foot on the moon. But now the Chinese look set to introduce a

:24:36. > :24:39.new era of space exploration with their first manned mission of the

:24:40. > :24:43.Moon's surface. As we've been finding out, this time they could be

:24:44. > :24:52.doing much more than simply taking one small step. China is going to

:24:53. > :24:58.the moon. And here am an exhibition captures the growing excitement.

:24:59. > :25:05.This rising nation is reaching beyond Earth. This animation shows

:25:06. > :25:10.how Chinese spacecraft will descend to the lunar surface. This hasn't

:25:11. > :25:15.been tried for more than 40 years. A rover will emerge. This is all

:25:16. > :25:19.robotic, but it paves the way for Chinese astronauts to follow.

:25:20. > :25:25.America did all this 40 years ago, but now China is catching up, very

:25:26. > :25:28.enthusiastically and very methodically and with greater

:25:29. > :25:37.ambition. The plan is not only to visit the moon but also to exploit

:25:38. > :25:42.it. Where are you going to land? In this area. The man behind the

:25:43. > :25:45.mission has never spoken to the Western media before. The Chinese

:25:46. > :25:53.space programme is normally highly secret. Professor Ouyang says there

:25:54. > :25:57.are opportunities on the moon, it has valuable minerals and potential

:25:58. > :26:02.sources of energy. He wants China to make use of them. With Chinese

:26:03. > :26:07.astronauts gaining experience in orbit, the idea of a Chinese base on

:26:08. > :26:12.the moon or even a minor there is starting to look feasible. Perfectly

:26:13. > :26:15.plausible from the technical point of view, absolutely plausible from a

:26:16. > :26:21.finance point of view because they have a lot of buying power. Yes,

:26:22. > :26:25.there's nothing at all to stop them doing that, probably within

:26:26. > :26:34.something like ten years. The last people to walk, or skip, on the moon

:26:35. > :26:41.were American. The astronauts of Apollo 17 back in 1972. The next

:26:42. > :26:46.footprints look set to be Chinese, and children at the space exhibition

:26:47. > :26:51.are loving it. I really like it here, this boy says, I want to come

:26:52. > :26:58.again. And this one says, I want to be an astronaut to go to the moon. A

:26:59. > :27:02.computer game about the Chinese mine on the moon. It's a great way to

:27:03. > :27:07.fire the imagination about the new frontier in this country's constant

:27:08. > :27:17.search for precious resources. And this generation may actually see it

:27:18. > :27:19.happen. That's all from us.
