Hello. This is BBC World News. Our top stories: Official warning that | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
the deadly new corona virus can be spread by close human contact. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Back for more - Nawaz Shariff looks set to become Prime Minister of | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Pakistan for the third time. The world's second-biggest economy | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
focuses on growing at home - we have a special report. | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
And Greece sends a demand to Germany to pay reparations for | :00:33. | :00:42. | |
:00:43. | :01:03. | ||
atrocities committed during the It looks increasingly likely the | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
former Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, will be able to form a Government | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
without going into coalition with other parties. His Muslim League | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
party is expected to fall short of an outright majority, but is | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
talking to independent candidates. It will be his third time as Prime | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
Minister. Let's get more from Karachi from our Correspondent. Is | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
it likely he is going to get a majority now? We did think it was | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
going to be a coalition Government originally. Absolutely. He has done | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
better than was expected. He is only slightly short of a simple | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
majority. His party is reaching out to independent candidates. The | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
impression is he wants to avoid a coalition Government because he | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
would rather not share power with his rival parties. In the last few | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
hours there are reports from Lahore the party is drawing up a national | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
charter. Basically a common agenda to see if other parties will sign | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
up to it to have a more inclusive Government. Nawaz Sharif realises | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
Pakistan's policies are huge and he cannot sort them out single- | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
handedly. What is expected from him in terms of the militants? He has | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
tried to distance himself from the US attacks on the militants, but he | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
will have to deal with them in some form otherwise he will come under | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
massive pressure? Yes, during his election campaign, he denounced | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
American joint strikes in tribal areas as a violation of Pakistan's | :02:48. | :02:58. | |
:02:58. | :03:00. | ||
severity. -- sovereignty. He has been at pains also to win over the | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
administration in Washington to put Americans at ease that he is a | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
pragmatist and he is looking forward to a good relationship with | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
the US. He has his strong backing from the Saudi family, because he | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
:03:26. | :03:28. | ||
was seen as not hard on the Taliban, the Taliban were not allowed to | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
campaign openly. But they hold huge rallies in to it -- Punjab. His | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
party got in the lines with some of this and the extremist groups in | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Punjab. He says he wants to have dialogue with the militants. But | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
people are sceptical how he can have dialogue with extremists who | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
believe in the headings. If he has this level of political support, | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
what will his critics say? He has been accused of being incompetent, | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
of corruption, it is quite an extraordinary comeback if you look | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
at his political history? You are right. It you go back to 1999 when | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
he is elected Government was dismissed in a military coup and he | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
was deposed. There was not a strong reaction against his dismissal. He | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
went into exile. When he came back into 1008, he tried to present | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
himself as a more mature politician and had learnt from his mistakes. | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
When his brother was Prime Minister in Punjab province, it wasn't a bad | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
place, with respect to what was going on in the rest of the country. | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
They were giving laptops to young people. The administration in | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Punjab was seen as better than the other provinces. That is part of | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
the reason he has been voted for so strongly in Punjab province. He is | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
saying I am the man who can do things, I believe in developments | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
and I can only improve things in Pakistan. Thanks very much. It will | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
be interesting few days ahead. It's called the novel corona virus. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
And it kills. But what worries the World Health Organisation is | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
evidence that it can spread through close contact between people. In | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
France a man is in intensive care with the disease after sharing a | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
hospital room with the country's first victim. The virus causes | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
pneumonia and kidney failure and has led to at least 20 deaths since | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
last year, most of them in Saudi Arabia. | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
With me is the BBC's health correspondent, Fergus Walsh. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
Initially when I have read this and saw this man is in isolation in | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
France, how has he been in close contact with somebody else? | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Presumably the of authorities did not know the first victim had this, | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
and that its spread from one person to another? It would spread in the | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
same way as any respiratory infection, cold or the fluke by | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
droplets in the earth. -- the flu. In France, the man came back from | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
Dubai, he was ill and was sharing a room with another man who then | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
picked up the virus from him. That is the firmest evidence to date of | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
person-to-person contact. We did have something similar in Britain, | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
among a came back from the Middle East, went on a long car journey | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
with his son, and his son picked up the virus. The World Health | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
Organisation is saying health authorities should be vigilant with | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
people who have returned from these areas who have contracted it. How | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
worried should we be? To see a deadly virus like this that can | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
spread so easily, is alarming? it did spread so easily then we | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
should be worried, but it does not spread so easily. The cases we have | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
had from person-to-person transmission are isolated and | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
involved a very close contest -- contact. It is often referred to as | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
being from the same family as the virus that causes the common cold. | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
It you get it, it is very bad luck. You say close contact, if these two | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
people sharing a hospital room had passed it between and, it is not | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
intimate contact? Yes, but over a sustained period. So, it is close | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
contact, it does not seem to be very contagious. The fact it has | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
been around, mostly in Saudi Arabia, for a year or so now. We have had | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
something like 30 to 40 confirmed cases, suggests it is a very rare | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
event. At the moment, Wells public health officials say it is | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
occupying a lot of their attention, I don't think generally people | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
should be concerned about it. In terms of travelling to those areas, | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
people should be concerned if they develop a fever and it causes a | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
pneumonia like infection and then perhaps people should pay attention | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
and seek medical help. Symptoms are common to a number of illnesses, | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
including pneumonia. What is being done by the World Health | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Organisation at a cure or a vaccine? Our scientists working on | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
that? Yes, across the world but they are examining this in high | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
containment laboratories to look at ways in which they could develop a | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
vaccine, and treatments against it. Also to monitor the spread. It is | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
watchful waiting at the moment, and these are viruses do come up from | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
time to time. This possibly came from bats. There is a limited | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
amount we can do in the early stages. He would eyes is, don't | :09:10. | :09:19. | |
panic? Absolutely don't panic. China may be the world's second- | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
largest economy but it still faces big challenges like many other | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
countries. Since the handover of power to new leaders at the end of | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
last year, the emphasis has been on fostering growth from within. | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
Before, it was fuelled by exports to the rest of the world. So, how | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
is China managing this re-balancing act? | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
Let's go to our Chief Business Correspondent, Linda Yueh, who is | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
in Hong Kong. It has looked stunning there for | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
the last few hours? It is certainly stunning in Hong Kong harbour. It | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
is picking up. This sign of the crucial rebalancing of the Chinese | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
economy away from factories and towards services. Many here are | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
from many -- main line China. For the first time ever, it is larger | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
than manufacturing in mainland China. But to be clear, and put in | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
the factories is still growing, is just means services is growing more | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
quickly. It has taken China and number of years to do this, which | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
means rebalancing for China is as difficult as it is for other | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
economies. It you want to make it to the top and stay there, it is | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
all about finding your balance. That is true, whether it is a | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
dancing client in Hong Kong or the economy. China is slowing. It needs | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
to find new ways to grow without crashing. Hong Kong used to rely on | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
factories, 15 years ago this street would have been full of pedallers. | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
As the economy has developed, they shifted to the services sector. But | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
most of the people they are serving on this street are mainland Chinese. | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
TRANSLATION: When I first came here in 2005, it was not like this. | :11:15. | :11:25. | |
:11:25. | :11:26. | ||
Since 2010, they have lots of money. These mainland Chinese are heading | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
home. These consumers are who the Chinese Government is counting on | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
to make a crucial shift in the economy away from factories and | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
towards services. Shops, education, insurance. For the first time ever | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
this year, the service sector is a bigger part of the economy than | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
many -- manufacturing. It is that not that Chinese factories are | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
going out of business, industry is still growing, it is just that | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
services are growing more quickly. But it is still raising worries. | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
You want to look into a sustainable, long-term growth. I think that | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
should be treated as a goal. But I would never recommend any society, | :12:13. | :12:21. | |
any country to treat consumption as a driver of growth alone. Hong Kong | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
may have gone too far, and relying on shoppers and China has been | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
watching. Still, one of Hong Kong's most prominent businessman warns, | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
China has no other option. We're talking about 100 million, 200 | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
million, perhaps 300 million being able to spend their money on their | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
own goods, which of course it would strengthen the economy in a very | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
balanced way, rather than having to rely on outward investment. It is | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
not a question of whether you succeed or not, it has got to be | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
the way forward. If China takes the easier path and relies on debt | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
fuelled Investment, it could lose its balance. It may not crash, but | :13:06. | :13:14. | |
it could slow considerably. The last thing that anyone wants to see. | :13:14. | :13:24. | |
:13:24. | :13:24. | ||
We have been aster -- asking for Twitter questions. One question | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
saying, China's economy has the attributes of a bubble that is | :13:29. | :13:37. | |
about to burst, how true is that?"what would you say to that? | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
certainly think it is a true characteristic of some segments of | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
the economy. For instance, the housing sector, construction and | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
the reason is, China has grown through investments and | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
construction for the past 30 years. In port and the biggest driver of | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
growth until this year. And the unleashing of credit to fund | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
investment, is a temptation that is there and something we have seen | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
over the last few years. But the bigger way to think about it in | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
some sense is to say, if there is a bubble, are the Government aware of | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
it? The answer is, yes, they are aware of it. It some of the banks | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
get dragged down, week are staying with commercial banks. The | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
Government has enough money to put more money into the banks. For | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
those reasons, yes there are some worrying sectors in the economy, | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
but China is unlikely to have the same systemic meltdown we have seen | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
in the West. Because, at the moment, the Government seems to have enough | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
cash to support the banks should the housing sector become unstable. | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
That is the biggest worry in the Chinese economy. Instead of | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
rebalancing, they go down this road of unsustainable development. If | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
they were to do that, I think China would struggle to rebalance its | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
economy and Mace low. That is bad news for anyone else and the rest | :15:09. | :15:19. | |
:15:19. | :15:41. | ||
He has become well-known for his Twitters from space, now a swansong | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
from the space station commander. Now, Prince Harry has started the | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
first event of the Warrior Games for injured service personnel held in | :15:51. | :16:01. | |
:16:01. | :16:09. | ||
He has never been one to turn down a challenge. Which is why Harry was to | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
be found forming the base of a human be found forming the base of a human | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
pyramid. Why were they doing it? Where was there a man dressed as a | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
bird on the top? There are no clear answers, but the challenge that | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
matters to Harry is bringing a important sporting event as this to | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
Britain. The Warrior Games have been Ann newel event in the United States | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
for the past four year. As the name implies, these are games for wounded | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
servicemen and women. They help rehabilitation, they are good for | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
moral and Harry's plan is to create a British version. | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
I'm hoping to bring such a fantastic idea to the UK and why not? This is | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
far more than a whim on Harry's part. The ambition is to have games | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
such as this, taking place in Britain within the next couple of | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
years. That's the as passion and behind the | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
scenes, Harry and his officials are working to turn it into a reality. | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
It mean as lot to the athletes it matters to Harry, and he is | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
Now, the police in the US are hunting for three people in | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
connection with a shooting spree at a Mother's Day parade in New | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
Orleans. There were no deaths but at least 19 people were wounded, the | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
victims included two children, grazed by bullets. The police say | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
most injuries are not life-threatening. The the Chinese | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
authorities have launched an investigation into allegations of | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
corruption made against a senior official it is being seen as the | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
latest move by the country's leader, Xi Jinping to clamp down on | :17:57. | :18:04. | |
corruption. China's state-run news agency, says that the top economic | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
policy maker, Liu Tienan was expected of grave violations of | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
discipline, though they have not yet specified the allegations against | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
him. There is more on the news stories at the BBC website. There is | :18:16. | :18:25. | |
much more to come, do stay with us. This is BBC World News, the | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
headlines: Official warning that the deadly new coronavirus, which has | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
killed 18 people, can be spread by close human contact. That warning | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
from the World Health Organisation. The former Pakistani Prime Minister, | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
Nawaz Sharif, is focussing on forming a new government. Possibly | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
with a majority after his party's victory in Saturday's general | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
election. It will be his third time as the Prime Minister in Pakistan. | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
Now, the Israeli Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, is to meet the | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
Russian President, Vladimir Putin on Tuesday for talks on Syria. Israel's | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
concerned about the supply of Russian missiles systems to Syria N | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Damascus, President Bashar al-Assad's government denied it had | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
anything to do with two car bombs that killed 46 people in a Turkish | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
town on the border between the two countries. Well, Wyre Davies, our | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
correspondent, is in the southern Turkish province of Hatay, where the | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
attacks happened. I asked if there issing in to be done to stop the | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
conflict spilling out of Syria. It is a good question. I think that | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
the conflict is broadening, widening, irrespective of what the | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
Turkish governments or the neighbouring governments in the | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
region do. That was the danger, that Syria's Civil War, given its | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
sectarian nature would spill over to neighbouring countries, we have seen | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
the effects of that not just in Turkish but in other areas. There | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
are two issue, one is that the towns on the borders where so many | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
thousands of Syrian -- Syrian refugees have come, it appears those | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
towns are targeted by the Syrian regime. So there is instate on the | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
ground and the other thing, is what does a government like that of, | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
Recep Tayyip Erdogan do? Nobody in Turkey really wants to go into this | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
situation in Syria, even opponents are obviously very much against that | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
but even Harold liners and other governments see the folly of doing | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
that what is needed is perhaps a united international response to the | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
crisis in Syria, but because of the way that the Russians and the | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
Chinese and others have resisted that, that is also, very, very | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
difficult. It is an open-ended question, there is no obvious answer | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
as to how Turkey responds now. There may abshort military response from | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
Turkey but it could be limited in its scope. How to address the big | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
problem of Syria's Civil War spilling into Turkey is a deeper | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
question for which there is no obvious answer. | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
The pilot of a military jet has reported by been killed after his | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
aircraft crashed into the Yemeni capital of Sanaa. The plane came | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
down in a residential district in southern Sanaa. The incident | :21:17. | :21:27. | |

reportedly took place during a training exercise that isless | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
INAUDIBLE. Now, Greece is demand demanding | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
compensation from Germany after its occupation in the Second World War. | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
It is thought that Athens may ask for as much as �162 billion in | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
damages. It is creating tension between the two countries. | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
We have this report. 70 years on, a town that cannot forget. | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
Around 500 were killed in Kalavryta on one day. Every adult male and the | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
town destroyed. War crimes for which Greece still seeks amends. | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
250,000 Greeks died in the German occupation. The Nazis took a forced | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
loan, never repaid. Germany gave Greece some compensation after the | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
war but far less than was demanded. So this is where you were taken? | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
This man has not given up the fight. At 13 years old, he was locked in | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
the school with the women and the children while his father and uncle | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
were shot. TRANSLATION: Of course they must pay | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
us. We will never forgive them. I remember people screaming, crying, | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
praying. The sun turned red from the smoke. I still see the image of my | :22:40. | :22:48. | |
father's body and now when I hear the word "German" I think it is the | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
devil. The memories are everywhere but here | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
is the prob Lib Dem, Greece's wartime enemy is now the Paymaster | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
General, Germany providing the largest share of the bail out, but | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
do they heal the wounds here, or does this country feel that is too | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
dangerous for today's delicate relationship? The Greek government | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
has cautiously gone ahead. It has compiled a report on reparations and | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
on the loan and is decided whether or not to pass it to Berlin. | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
We have to give a response to many German politicians, that they have | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
said over so many years that Greeks are lazy, take taking their money. | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
So we have to set them clear in the giving of the loan but to remember | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
that we had this money that we never had before these decades. | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
The public is pressure is growing. This is how Angela Merkel was | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
greeted last year, protestors talk of an economic occupation. | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
Germany says that some compensation paid in 1960 was with the agreement | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
that there would be no more. We cannot understand what the Greek | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
government is doing. Germany and the German taxpayer is showing very much | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
solidarity with the difficult situation in Greece. In the end they | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
will now send us a bill for something that is far away in our | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
history, and something that was resolved. | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
Now, have a look at this extraordinary photograph behind me | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
it is one of a series that has attracted more than #3 | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
three-quarters of a million followers on Twitter, but Commander | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
Chris Hadfield did have a unique advantage point, the International | :24:32. | :24:40. | |
Space Station. After five months of tweeting from space has come back | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
down to earth. They are the images that captivated hundreds of | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
thousands of people on earth earth. Pictures tweeted from the | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
International Space Station, more than 200 miles above us. This is the | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
man who has been taking them, Commander Chris Hadfield. He has | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
used every opportunity to pick up his camera. | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
If I have a couple of minutes I grab the camera and race to the windows | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
to get a picture of what part of the world is under neath us. | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
Here is the International Space Station in the skies over the UK. | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
Regular passers overhead have often been followed by stunning images. | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
At night most towns and cities in the UK and near continents can be | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
seen. Close up, this is how London looks. Daytime passes have yielded | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
fantastic views. This is the Straits of Dover, further to the west, the | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
Isle of Wight. How about the Humber area with the dots of Christ clouds? | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
Or the Lake District with the winter snow on the tops? And when those | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
pictures have tweeted from way up there in space, there has been a | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
huge response from the people living down here in the UK. | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
We managed to get a question to Commander Chris Hadfield in one of | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
his recent link-ups from Earth. We asked him what he thought. | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
It is delightful to be able to see something interesting, to be able to | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
take a picture of it, and then to have so many others delight in it. | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
People that may see something in the way that they had not thought about | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
it before. They see their town, the region, the aisle of wooit or some | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
of the northern regions or into southern Scotland, they just, they | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
have a perspective on it that maybe did not exist for them in the | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
regular two-dimensional way that we see things. | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
But from now on Commander Chris Hadfield's Twitter feed will be less | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
dramatic. Today he returns to Earth, at the end of a six-month mission. | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
Although we will be able to still take pictures of the passing space | :26:46. | :26:51. |
