We are with the BBC journalist as he visits his shattered home | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
city for the first time since IS swept in. | :00:09. | :00:22. | |
But the fight with IS continues in Western Mosul, where hundreds | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
of thousands of civilians are caught between the murderous terrorists | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
I will ask an Iraqi brigadier if many more civilian casualties in | :00:29. | :00:41. | |
Mosul are inevitable. The talks which are about to start | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
will be difficult, complex and sometimes even confrontational. | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
On the day that Donald Tusk laid out the EU's negotiating guidelines, | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
we look at the the road ahead for Brexit. | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
And will we all by cyborgs any century soon? | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
The answer is yes, if the tranhumanists have their way. | :01:06. | :01:21. | |
IS - or Daesh's - tentacles have spread across the globe, | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
but tonight we focus our attention on where it all began. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Iraq's second city, Mosul, has, for the past three years, | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
been under the vicious heel of IS, who visited unimaginable horror | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
It was in Mosul where the IS leader, Abu Bakr al-Bagdadi, | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
declared an Islamic Caliphate, but now the Iraqi army, | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
aided by coalition forces, have liberated much of the city | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
and backed IS fighters into neighbourhoods | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
in West Mosul's Old City, along with around | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
There is little doubt IS will eventually be routed in Mosul, | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
but the human cost of the liberation is high, with accusations that | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
coalition strikes involving UK and US jets called in by the Iraqis | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
In a moment we have a film from inside Mosul. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
But first, this primer from John Sweeney. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
To defeat this man, al-Baghdadi, are the Iraqi army and the Americans | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
- and British backing them - killing too many innocent | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
Last summer, Isis was in full control of Mosul. | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
In October, the Iraqi army, mostly Shia, launched its offensive, | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
trying to win back the country's second city, mostly Sunni. | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
This battle is being fought along the fault line | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
East Mosul fell relatively swiftly but Isis fighters, | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
who have nowhere to go, were reportedly using human shields | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
and have been shooting civilians in the back | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
But West Mosul is believed to be home to 300,000 people. | :03:04. | :03:16. | |
You cannot bomb or shell a packed city centre | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
In the last six weeks, 700 civilians have been killed | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
and the Pentagon says that within the last week it has dropped | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
The Americans and the British are confident the rules | :03:29. | :03:37. | |
of engagement have not been changed, but as casualties mount, | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
is the human cost of this liberation becoming too high? | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
BBC journalist Basheer Al Zaidi grew up in East Mosul - | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
the part of the city that has been liberated from IS control. | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
He returned recently to meet his old friends and see how | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
This is his film from his shattered home city. | :03:58. | :04:07. | |
It's been over ten years since my last visit. | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
I grew up on these streets with my 11 brothers and sisters. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
It's a weird feeling, to come back here, after all these years. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
My hometown is now effectively split into two. | :04:25. | :04:34. | |
I'm in the East, which was recaptured a few months ago, | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
but just across the river, in the West, fighting continues. | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
It's quite different, quite difficult, to be honest. | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
Most of the buildings in the centre of the city are damaged. | :04:46. | :05:04. | |
It's clear that anybody who still lives here doesn't feel | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
This is me, on the left, with my oldest friend, Karim. | :05:08. | :05:17. | |
Growing up, we were inseparable, but staying in touch whilst he lived | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
I am here to pay him a surprise visit. | :05:22. | :05:54. | |
For the first time, I meet his kids, and it soon becomes clear his family | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
My best friend tells me he initially welcomed the idea | :05:59. | :06:30. | |
It's a real shock, but his support was short lived. | :06:31. | :07:25. | |
Karim's attitude towards IS is echoed across the city. | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
There was deep anger aimed at the government before IS arrived. | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
Protesters came out on the streets, and the army and the police force | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
were accused of widespread corruption, sectarianism and abuse. | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
The Sunni city had come to hate the practices | :07:51. | :08:02. | |
By the time IS entered Mosul the anger had reached its peak. | :08:03. | :08:14. | |
Today, the big challenge is to restore security without | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
We have joined these agents from the Iraqi National Security Service. | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
They are about to raid addresses all across Mosul. | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
Their aim is to move out IS sleeper cells that have launched | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
Three suspects are rounded up at this address, | :08:35. | :09:03. | |
It seems in this area everyone is treated with suspicion. | :09:04. | :09:22. | |
Today, the agents arrested six men, but in total they've detained over | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
It's difficult for me to see the people of Mosul become used | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
Today the army is all too aware of its past reputation. | :09:37. | :09:46. | |
I am taking a tour of the city with a Field Marshal. | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
He says the operation in Mosul has already restored | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
A lot is riding on this new-found goodwill towards the army | :09:56. | :10:31. | |
and police, but I wonder how long it will last. | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
Many people across the city are too scared to talk openly | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
One family who want to speak out are friends from my time at university. | :10:44. | :10:59. | |
Omar and his mother have invited me for breakfast. | :11:00. | :12:10. | |
Omar might be concerned about the future, but there is one | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
We are on our way to pick up his two daughters from school. | :12:14. | :12:22. | |
Like so many parents, he refused to allow IS to educate his children. | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
So this is the girls' first week back at school, | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
and they are pretty excited about it. | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
This is overwhelming, this is really overwhelming, | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
It's a special moment for their kids because normal life is maybe | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
back again for them, kind of a quietness. | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
It is something new for them, a new start. | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
My friends Omar and Karim might be certain about what's ahead, | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
but seeing these young girls back in school, I know there is at least | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
And you can see a longer version of that film on Our World on the BBC | :13:02. | :13:14. | |
News Channel at 9.30pm tomorrow night or Sunday. | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
Now, one of the biggest problems for Iraqi commanders calling | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
in coalition air strikes in Western Mosul - | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
where the fighting is still raging - is described as "the most | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
significant urban combat to take place since World War II" | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
is that IS fighters are threaded in among hundreds of | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
Last week, one strike is thought to have destroyed a building, | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
The US military has launched an inquiry into what happened. | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
Earlier this evening I spoke to Brigadier Tahseen Ibrahim | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
in Baghdad, spokesman for the Iraqi military. | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
The crisis in Mosul right now it is severe, Isis, they use civilians in | :13:55. | :14:10. | |
the front of the fighters, the problem is, those fighters and | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
terrorists do not care about any human material, they used to | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
civilians in front of them, sometimes they put those civilians | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
inside the houses and put one or two snipers on the roof as they start | :14:27. | :14:34. | |
shooting our troops and we saw them, we have drones watching everything, | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
they also saw them. There was a particular incident last week where | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
there was a series of coalition air strikes in a particular | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
neighbourhood and it is estimated that in that air strike, | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
coincidental but that air strike, more than 100 people died. What is | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
your response? There is a formal investigation. The coalition forces | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
said that we were responsible for that and we hit that target, they | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
did hit that target according to our request, the coalition forces took | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
the request from the Iraqi troops and after that, they shot any | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
target. The problem is, when the coalition forces set out in front, | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
they said, we hit that neighbourhood and there is a target for Isis in | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
that neighbourhood and we hit that but they never said, we hit that | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
house, they said we hit or killed those civilians because they said we | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
hate maybe one or two houses around that, they started to open a big | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
investigation from their side. Also, the MoD and the Prime Minister and | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
also my ministry, immediately opened a big investigation to give the | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
result about that. Our responsibility is to take care of | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
the civilians, everything is maybe during three days, and we clear that | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
in front of the media. This neighbourhood was very tight with | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
narrow streets, we know that civilians are there in their houses. | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
It is perfectly possible that the air strike hit civilians? | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
If you see and checked that neighbourhood, you would see how it | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
is destroyed, the houses. You would think one or two bombs destroyed | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
maybe ten or 15 houses. Amnesty International says the Iraqi army | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
are telling people not to leave their houses in western Mosul. Is | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
that true? All the houses on the right side, it's old and small. | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
There are more people in those houses. For that, any air strike or | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
any missiles or sometimes any car bombs, they take more damage, that | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
neighbourhood. For that we also changed our rules of engagement for | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
the humanitarian. Are your local commanders on the ground, they call | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
in a coalition air strike becomes very quickly. Is it possible your | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
commanders don't always know how many civilians are in the houses | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
around about? That depends about our information, the intelligence of our | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
information. We never shoot any houses. Without any information | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
coming from our guys. Some guys they work between the Isis fighters. | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
They're mainly Sunni population is concerned about the level of care | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
that an army led by Shia is going to give them. It's important for the | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
kind of piece that the city has, the way you win Mosul. Isis defeat. We | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
don't need any inside Mosul. The people who live in Mosul, they were | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
responsible, it's their responsibility to take care about | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
their cities. No militia, no Shia inside the city of Mosul. They take | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
care of city of Mosul police, Iraqi police, Iraqi army and, by the way, | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
Iraqi army when deliberate Mosul, will leave outside Mosul. Brigadier | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
Tahseen Ibrahim, thank you for joining us. | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
It feels as if we have come through the opening thundering | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
salvos of Brexit and we are now, really and truly, | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
But what does the route to that exit actually look like? | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
Today Donald Tusk issued guidelines at the EU summit in Malta, | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
and there was an early change in the mood music, indications that | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
after all, if sufficient progress is made towards the divorce, | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
Both sides have started laying out their stalls. | :19:12. | :19:29. | |
Today, Donald Tusk, the EU Council President, | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
set out the EU 27's draft guidance on what happens now. | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
The talks which are about to start will be difficult, complex | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
The EU 27 does not and will not pursue a punitive approach. | :19:40. | :19:53. | |
Brexit in itself is already punitive enough. | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
The most significant part of Donald Tusk's statement today | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
was about sequencing of the forthcoming talks. | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
Specifically, he said we'd have to make significant headway | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
on our divorce arrangements from the EU, before we are allowed | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
to start talking about our future trading relationship with it. | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
And that really matters, because the order in which we talk | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
about these things is likely to change the outcome. | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
This means, first of all, we could get an arrangements | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
on rights for EU citizens in the UK, for example, very fast. | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
They're also be principles around what will happen to EU 27 companies | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
dealing with the UK, and the fate of the Irish border. | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
It also means discussion of any exit bills will move up the ticket. | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
An eminent Brussels think tank thinks the bill could be as low | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
as low as ?27 billion, or as much as ?65 billion. | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
As soon as the UK leaves, let's say it's the 1st of April 2019, | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
legally the UK is not bound to pay anything. | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
Up until then it is legally bound, and I am expecting the UK | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
is going to honour this, but there have been things that have | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
been preagreed upon, and the UK has agreed upon, | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
for a number of bills that will come after that. | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
The question is, how far can these bills extend? | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
So payment is a political question about our willingness to pay | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
Brussels for goodwill from the member states. | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
The sequencing means it will be an early hurdle for us to clear. | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
Sequencing, though, also affects the balance of power. | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
The sequencing decision matters because if Britain could just do | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
it all in its own way, it would put all the issues | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
on the table and start linking them and doing deals across Europe, | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
which match specific interests with different | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
European states interests', and try and minimise | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
But Britain hasn't got the luxury of doing that. | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
It's launched the Article 50 process, the European Union | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
now gets to determine, as it did this morning, | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
that it wants real progress on the divorce agreement first. | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
It's important to stress that the negotiation will quickly turn | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
to very big questions, like what kind of country | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
We'll probably end up keeping some EU regulation at the very least. | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
The thing to remember is in the modern and trading world, | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
rules and regulations matter far more than tariffs. | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
So at the moment, we have the same rules and regulations as every | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
to checkout the border, we can just assume that our | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
However, after we leave, we're going to have a choice to make. | :22:28. | :22:39. | |
Do we continue to converge with European standards | :22:40. | :22:40. | |
now I'm going forwards, as to facilitate trade between both | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
us and the EU, or do we diverged, in the knowledge that divergences | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
will lead to more checks at ports, increase compliance issues | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
There are some very thorny issues that, until now, have received | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
Like the specification that we need to agree with Spain on Gibraltar. | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
A really major problem, though, is time. | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
I think in two years Britain can expect to have a clear | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
It's probably going to have to be generous in that agreement, | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
in order to have willing European partners putting in place transition | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
arrangements, and talking about a subsequent trade deal. | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
I think the final arrangement, it took Switzerland 14 years | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
to do its arrangements with the European Union. | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
There is strong political pressure to pay nothing | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
and accept few EU rules, so trust no one who says they can | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
Now, people have been trying to battle the human condition for | :23:35. | :23:43. | |
thousands of years. Since 1200BC when legend has it | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
that the Sumarian King, Gilgamesh, travelled to the edge of the world | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
in search of immortality. It's the stuff of literature, | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
sci fi movies, and scientific research but might it | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
become a reality? Could we really use technology | :23:58. | :23:58. | |
to control the future The use of technology to prolong | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
and enhance life has a name. It's called Transhumanism and I'll | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
be talking to the human author of a book on the "transhumanism | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
movement" in a moment. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him, | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
we have the technology. We have the capability to make | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
the world's first bionic man. Writers and cinematographers have | :24:18. | :24:27. | |
been obsessed with creating life, transcending death, and now, | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
more than ever, merging In his book, Mark O'Connell | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
examines transhumanism. He examines a future where we no | :24:32. | :24:41. | |
longer agree to live under the fear of ageing, | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
infirmity and death. Where technological | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
enhancements augment our powers Where we don't accept | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
the limitations of evolution, and choose our bodily form | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
and function, and where we are no longer limited to the confines | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
of our carbon-based biology. What was once the stuff | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
of sci-fi and legend, is becoming more believable | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
with every technological advance. In times of three parent babies, | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
bionic arms and facial transplants, is it really sensible to rule out | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
a future where our minds are uploaded to a cloud | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
and we finally conquered death? Mark O'Connell has travelled widely | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
to meet aspiring transhumanists for his new book on the subject | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
and he joins me now. It has been an eternal obsession, | :25:31. | :25:42. | |
why is that? It goes back to, as you say, at least as far as Gilgamesh. I | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
think transhumanism comes from the same place as many religions, this | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
dissatisfaction we are in these fleshy human body and we die. We | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
say, why is that? It's difficult to accept the fact we die. We've always | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
been uncomfortable with it, understandably. Do you think in the | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
next century or two it will be enough to be humans or will humans | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
be second-class citizens? This is one of the ideas of the | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
transhumanist movement, the idea we have to merge with technology or | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
become obsolete. I think part of this thinking of the movement comes | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
from, I think, and over identification with machines. This | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
sort of idea that we are already machines and we have to become more | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
sophisticated machines. Now it's been taken one stage further, | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
because in a way fiction and sci-fi lead to a lot of scientific | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
research. There are now organisations trying to cheat | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
mortality, were you surprised to the extent of that? Yes, I knew this | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
stuff was there and then I investigated it. I kept seeing Peter | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
Teal again and again, he's involved in a lot of this stuff. And this | :26:59. | :27:06. | |
announcement during the week. What kind of experimentation did you come | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
across? I spent some time with a guy called Randall:. His entire life's | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
work has been trying to figure out how to upload minds to machines. | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
We're talking about sort of mapping the neurons, mapping the brain to | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
such a degree of detail and granularity that it can be | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
transferred to another substrate. The idea is this body, although this | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
is how we live under what we live in right now, our minds can | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
theoretically at least be transferred to a different substrate | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
and we could live as robots or disembodied beings. Calling our | :27:42. | :27:50. | |
minds down from the clouds. That sounds like what you are writing | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
about in your book, this idea that we can... How would our brains | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
continue to develop and grow? They would just be uploaded every so | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
often? The idea is we would merge with artificial intelligence. Reach | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
another evolutionary leap by merging with super intelligent AI. The other | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
one I thought, another one that is quite advanced is bio hacking. I | :28:16. | :28:22. | |
didn't realise to the extent people did their own bio hacking. This is | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
an element of the transhumanist movement, practical transhumanists. | :28:28. | :28:32. | |
They're doing this stuff already. Designing technologies for | :28:33. | :28:35. | |
implanting under the skin. I spent a while Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with | :28:36. | :28:43. | |
some guys who called some self cyborgs and build large implants and | :28:44. | :28:48. | |
put them in themselves. These implants that go in... They can | :28:49. | :28:54. | |
trigger an extreme movement or do something? The capabilities right | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
now are fairly primitive, in that they would allow them to do things | :29:00. | :29:06. | |
like cents magnetic North or open a door of a laboratory. It's stuff you | :29:07. | :29:10. | |
could quite easily do with technology, that you wouldn't have | :29:11. | :29:14. | |
to have surgery for, but it's a gesture towards the post-human | :29:15. | :29:20. | |
future, the cyborg future. At the moment it's a rich man's game and | :29:21. | :29:24. | |
you wonder if it does develop, if there are progressions that do mean | :29:25. | :29:26. | |
that people can live in different ways and live longer, then it's | :29:27. | :29:31. | |
going to be a societal imbalance in favour of the people who can afford | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
to do it. This is one of the major dimensions of my book. I see | :29:36. | :29:40. | |
transhumanism as a very extreme intensification of tendencies that | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
are already there in terms of capitalism, like wealth and | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
equality. If you look at the research into life extension | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
technologies come at the people who are going to benefit from it are | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
clearly the super-rich. So you're looking at some pretty radical | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
socioeconomic implications. You are also looking at the idea we won't | :30:02. | :30:06. | |
die when we are meant to die. There are people that think they could | :30:07. | :30:09. | |
live for thousands of years. We will have an overpopulation of the | :30:10. | :30:13. | |
planet, more than the moment. Not if we are all uploaded to the cloud. We | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
won't all be physically present. In the future, is it something you'd be | :30:20. | :30:23. | |
interested in, uploaded to the cloud? Not right now, maybe at 85! | :30:24. | :30:26. | |
Thank you very much indeed. That is about all we have time for | :30:27. | :30:29. | |
this evening. But before we go, commercial space | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
companies have long wanted to make space travel cheap enough for anyone | :30:33. | :30:35. | |
with a few tens of millions of dollars hanging around, | :30:36. | :30:38. | |
and that's pretty difficult if you have to build a whole | :30:39. | :30:41. | |
new rocket every time SpaceX have just made a big | :30:42. | :30:43. | |
step forward to that. Here's the first ever | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
relaunch and landing Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, | :30:48. | :30:49. | |
four, three two, one... Hello. Improvements on the way for | :30:50. | :32:13. | |
Sunday but starting the weekend with sunshine and April showers. Perhaps | :32:14. | :32:17. |
