:02:46. > :02:50.and hope that serves as an example to young people around the world.
:02:50. > :02:55.And the man who walked beside him on the lunar surface issued his own
:02:55. > :02:59.tribute. I was fortunate to be one of those
:02:59. > :03:06.crew members to fly with an outstanding test pilot, Neil
:03:06. > :03:11.Armstrong, and accompany him on the lunar module. He was a great
:03:11. > :03:16.spokesman and leader in the space programme. A pilot from the age of
:03:16. > :03:21.16, Neil Armstrong flew 70 it missions during the Korean War
:03:21. > :03:26.before working as a test pilot at Edwards Air Force base. He was
:03:26. > :03:32.chosen as an astronaut for the Gemini programme, bringing his
:03:32. > :03:37.spacecraft safely to earth in March 1966 after it got out of control

:03:42. > :03:46.approach and coolness under pressure, shown here when he
:03:46. > :03:51.injected during training, made him a natural choice to command an
:03:51. > :03:55.Apollo mission. Following his return to the moon, Neil Armstrong
:03:55. > :04:02.became a reclusive figure, working as a professor at the University of
:04:02. > :04:07.Cincinnati. On the 30th anniversary of his historic landing he made a
:04:07. > :04:13.rare public appearance. The important achievement of the
:04:13. > :04:19.Apollo mission was a demonstration that humanity is not forever

:04:34. > :04:40.their mission. The White House was already making plans to scrap the
:04:40. > :04:44.space shuttle programme. When I met Neil Armstrong later that year he
:04:44. > :04:49.would not speak out publicly against a decision that angered him
:04:49. > :04:53.and many of his Apollo astronauts. Although the flag was American, it
:04:53. > :04:59.was a moment that belonged to the world, bringing together the
:04:59. > :05:03.warring planet and showing us all what he Mountie could achieve.
:05:03. > :05:09.-- humanity. In a moment we'll get more from Pallab. But first let's
:05:09. > :05:15.speak to our correspondent Alastair Leithead in Los Angeles. What has
:05:15. > :05:19.the reaction been? As soon as people heard the news there was a
:05:19. > :05:24.moment's silence at the Los Angeles Observer tree here. And we have
:05:24. > :05:28.just had a statement from the White House. President Obama say he was
:05:28. > :05:33.one of the greatest of American heroes of all time. He delivered
:05:33. > :05:38.the moment of human achievement that will never be forgotten. He
:05:38. > :05:44.was a man of few words, but what words they were. He was never
:05:44. > :05:48.comfortable with the media attention he got. He left the space
:05:48. > :05:55.agency just a year after that historic mission. And he did not go
:05:55. > :05:58.into politics, but academia. He spoke out only rarely at
:05:58. > :06:04.anniversaries and the like. But there was one moment where he
:06:04. > :06:07.appeared in Congress to speak quite critically of President Obama for
:06:07. > :06:10.cutting the manned space flight. That was something that was close
:06:10. > :06:17.to his heart. Our science correspondent, Pallab
:06:17. > :06:23.Ghosh, is with me in the studio. Neil Armstrong did something huge
:06:23. > :06:29.nationally and also for the world. President Obama called him a great
:06:29. > :06:34.American hero but he was the hero for the world. When he set foot on
:06:34. > :06:41.the moon it ended the space race. But it also brought the world
:06:41. > :06:44.together. It just showed what we could achieve working together. It
:06:45. > :06:49.led to the International Space Station. And it seemed that all
:06:49. > :06:56.things seemed possible at that moment in time. You met him a
:06:56. > :07:01.couple of times. What was he like? He was at shy man. But what struck
:07:01. > :07:07.me was his humanity. He went out and did her job and when he
:07:07. > :07:11.finished that he went on to be an ambassador. But he was such an
:07:11. > :07:19.optimist. I was able to ask him, what ever happened to the Armstrong
:07:19. > :07:21.dream. He said, it will come back in time.
:07:21. > :07:25.Neil Armstrong, who died from complications after heart bypass
:07:25. > :07:27.surgery. The exams regulator, Ofqual, is to
:07:28. > :07:32.look again at GCSE gradings amid claims that thousands of students
:07:32. > :07:36.have been treated unfairly. The move comes amid threats of
:07:36. > :07:37.legal action from local authorities and teachers. They're complaining
:07:37. > :07:42.that English entries were particularly unfair, with a change
:07:42. > :07:52.in grade boundaries between January and June in England and Wales. With
:07:52. > :07:52.
:07:52. > :07:55.more details, here's our deputy political editor, James Landale.
:07:55. > :08:03.Are the class of 2012 paying the price for decades of grade
:08:03. > :08:08.inflation? Some think so and want the results to be independently
:08:08. > :08:17.investigated and even tested in the courts. We are working with other
:08:17. > :08:19.organisations asking for urgent investigations. If we are not
:08:20. > :08:22.satisfied by the response, we are determined to take this forward and
:08:22. > :08:27.we are looking at grounds for a legal challenge, we feel so
:08:27. > :08:37.aggrieved about what has happened to these young people.
:08:37. > :08:38.
:08:39. > :08:40.Top-grade GCSE passes fell this year for the first time since 1986.
:08:41. > :08:43.Some teachers believe that the goalposts were moved unfairly in
:08:43. > :08:51.English. Some pupils taking the exam at different times faced
:08:51. > :08:56.different standards, they claim. Jude men's went into that
:08:56. > :09:05.examination in good faith and had little chance of obtaining a C
:09:05. > :09:08.grade or higher. That is not acceptable. This afternoon the
:09:08. > :09:10.exams watchdog finally responded to this pressure and said in a letter,
:09:10. > :09:15.we are acting on these concerns and looking closely in the coming days
:09:15. > :09:19.at the detail of the grades and the boundary setting for English GCSEs.
:09:19. > :09:29.We become better writers if we are enthusiastic readers...
:09:29. > :09:33.
:09:33. > :09:35.The education secretary has denied putting the watchdog under pressure.
:09:35. > :09:37.But the Labour Party are still saying that they welcome the
:09:37. > :09:46.inquiry and it should be comprehensive and they still want
:09:46. > :09:50.an independent inquiry by MPs. The promise of an inquiry gives pupils
:09:50. > :09:56.a small chink of hope and lifts the pressure of the government, but
:09:56. > :09:58.only for now. Greece will stay in the Eurozone.
:09:58. > :10:00.That was the message from both the Greek prime minister, Antonis
:10:00. > :10:03.Samaras, and French president, Francois Hollande today after talks
:10:03. > :10:06.on the country's economic crisis in Paris. Greece is continuing to push

:10:45. > :10:50.TRANSLATION: people keep speculating that Greece will not

:11:09. > :11:13.concession, protests here will grow. The anti bail-out opposition would
:11:13. > :11:18.be strengthened and his government could start to look fragile. The
:11:18. > :11:21.Prime Minister is under pressure to stem Greece's decline and start to
:11:21. > :11:28.heal this bruised country. One- third of the population has been

:11:35. > :11:45.has soared. Suicides, too. Businesses are feeling the heat.
:11:45. > :11:52.The business is down 60%. We paid too much in taxes. The way we live
:11:52. > :11:57.right now is very hard. recession is breeding anger here
:11:57. > :12:01.and a peer of the future. Europe's patience with Greece is wearing
:12:01. > :12:06.thin and if the pain does not ease, this country's patience with its
