It's $50.00 Nidal says with a title Yeah bet it had a perfect approach shot the ball with the best slice ever. Thinking and the whole way just wishing it out I mean he did cheek or belt like blow that out see what I did as a nasty nasty high back and volley as it was the fancy shot but it wasn't just get flooding high if you know that but Dave said all please go at he couldn't get his arms up to do that to him and swing while he probably could have tried to decide to leave 15 all another missed by Nidal that's trainer. Come lucky on that last point I think. Second at 15 all that counts that it all with a full hand it's long I think 1st. 30 I think Ross his arms look heavy. Traffic Yeah I would explain the 1st serve percentage drop. I forced errors on some tough old. I'm not used to having that video for stairs 45 in the day but that's got to be up match high for. 15 so. Plus the cloak won because the noise from the crowd if you. Will. Would also take another minute it's kind of milked outlet for sure and he should. Just do it he got a 1st 7 to play that as he said for the US Open title very effective that was stronger than it is back in 1538 so this is a better 1st of an incident with a book that said Medvedev I thank you so 1st slice back for him to get a yes it's usually a genius shot to add that don't over think a lot of trouble for really nothing it's getting just a little bit the sheer volume of I would serve all the. Time really it would be to see the winner of the wide slot I was on set point in the 4th set decide to go for it so 30 year old with a $1.05 full Would it be a 3rd championship point or another great shot point for Daniel Medvedev and the dolls frailty of resurfaces as the 1st finds the net. 24000 people can be remarkably quiet when they want to be with attention is this high 2nd serve backhand return from Medvedev forehand from the doll Medvedev hits his backhand to the dolls full had sure the DA lands it but in this rally Antilles shines the forehand the ball was almost a sense of disbelief around me on the Rush stadium because Daniel Medvedev who was a double break down at $52.00 in the deciding set now has the opportunity to level things up at 5 games all I said she's written a lot of eyes and I think. I. Think you're right thank you very. Breakpoint down like Jenny serves into the net I think it's. My foot after the point $50.00. Second. Camera 10 from Medvedev the full hand from that all the facts came from that deficit Adolfo had full hand from Medvedev It all goes across cool never devil his full had very very short doubles full and kept alive by Medvedev with a lot of how is it just a little bowl was so out for way and only see old saw Michael I know I have should have made it go because with all shank a couple of sport I had a big cross sport covered that I don't know but thank God I put over. 4 hours and 49 minutes we've now been playing here all 5 lines he finds a fuss back home return from that the death trap shut the dull Medvedev was going to sit in judgment that was I was how did you cope with. That Rob thanks very much man the right as I said she thanked us right Fred still he said I should look so great when you make it so stupid as I. So for the 3rd time championship point Rafael Nadal So when a full U.S. Open title. And so the full hand of Medvedev and the return. Of cuts they don't always back in the U.S. Open champion for a full side and he's one in 5 sets up to Danielle Medvedev President to snatch the trophy out of his hands it was a most spectacular effort by the Russians. To set Open champion. 19 front Slam singles titles the cycle that we felt was his in the middle of last week very very clearly stated. He's done it he's got I put the finishing line to get out it was. Absolutely spectacular it was absolutely thrilling and Jeff and. Daniel Medvedev is my hero so I always won a lot of fans he has and I think the pooch when he gets back to field next year absolutely phenomenal performance is. Not there but the next generation youngster expected the price 3 I think it's fair to say that he is sharing how mentally healthy is. This show it's phenomenal He says germination is spectacular. And he's showing that he's absolutely superstar athlete and how quick is this guy is one of the pivot point it gets in its way then played in the. Early as it is it is a quick a slow go either the same it is right you can see he just moves officially such as move and move just big steps and gets around the corner and that no Lask in the jump shot was absolutely perfect and he got to it. From 6 point behind the baseline and this guy is unbelievable at play so yeah it's. Tight you have the ball and. Jeff how is that bowling I mean he volley I deserve for that before I post in Korea and guys he said for a dog account volley that is that is if we before the top 4 the guy that is the best volley I ever seen anybody and it's true he played a fantastic match regulations to him as well so 4 hours and 15 minutes and pull the record Rafael Nadal which is the U.S. Open 756357 full 66 full G.G. . And wow it is 12 minutes past 2 in the morning in the U.K. And pop it was Chris Clary from the New York Times he said Donal Medvedev maybe the 1st to slow ticking guy I've seen in my life is rough and down as his cost. He will lead the coup freshen up you'll sweep the hairy bits one sign on the Hill wave to you coolness of the entourage stated with any T.V. Has left 5 sets in 5 hours grandson title number 19 the one behind Roger Federer a U.S. Open titles now for total career titles that stands at $82.00 and he's on an 11 match winning streak general Medvedev also decided to leave the cool it's in and fresh and what really stood out for me about Daniel Medvedev pathogenesis for bass player one who's done a runner before. Earlier is how cool calm and collected in defeat he looks very stoic as if to sort of sit there and go OK you know I try that's it but a man won and off we go just he's been combed his persona 5 through the course of these 5 hours well that's what we tell our kids it's what we tell our students as you go out there you try your hardest to leave it there and you know nothing to be ashamed of each try your absolute artist you do every day you kinda When you see I mean he his character was there he took the crowd and he actually gained the fans and so he had nothing to be sorry about me we never thought he could play that well he showed us all how great he could play what a great player he's going to be it I'll tell you what he's going to be a force to reckon with and that's all he felt like he needed to do today. What it was a great player. He had some believable he was 36 in the world this time last year. He has 50 wins for 29 he's still the to a leader but now rough and has crept up to 47 Medvedev was on a 12 match winning streak coming into this final he'd never been to the 2nd week of a Grand Slam and till B.C. When he made the final he he's won the prize in the bonus check for the North American hardcore serious crime. For what he's accomplished which is absolutely astounding he spoke of how he's dedicated his life to this sport and it is paying off from Monday which is now here in the U.K. He's now the new world number 4 but Russell rightly says we see the name of the president has already been printed on stone to the board 2019 on a dull following on from now that just means last year no doll the year before headlines for rough and on the conversation about The Greatest Of All Time we'll talk about that again it's got a few years left as Has Federer just one clear now 20 grand slam singles titles and we're very nearly ready for the presentation here in New York now the author Ash Stadium everyone's had a couple of minutes to have a little bit of a break perhaps and just say what they have seen and it's a spectacular scene because it's night now in New York at the moment the 2 players benches.

Doggo dot you care we'll open up the phone lines in a few minutes 1st though the biggest strike in British Airways history is now underway members of the British Airlines Pilots Association began a 2 day walkout at midnight as part of a pay dispute with the airline be a is urging passengers affected by the walkout not to go to the airport Well Simon Calder is the travel editor of The Independent He's been following the dispute and its effect on us by Jim early and asked him why this strike had been called It's simply about money Dalton an old fashioned pay dispute the airline is offering pilots pay increase they say is worth 11.5 percent every 3 years they say that the deal is already been accepted by members of the Unite union and to the G.M.B. Representing mostly cabin crew and ground staff respectively That means 9 out of 10 of be a staff have accepted a deal that the airline calls fair Balbir the British Airline Pilots Association doesn't think it's good enough at all they want more cash and that would work out that $22.00 pounds on average per week pilot now for an awful lot of people extra 20 pounds a week would be really quite a large thing but. British Airways says that senior captain is already on $3200.00 pounds a week so it's not going to notice he or she is not going to notice that much the union says Well some people might be earning highest high figures but could that pilots are own only 27000 pounds and so the 2 sides are a long way apart even though you have got a. A group of very well paid relatively speaking compared with others in the travel industry. The union representing them and you've got an airline is making very significant profits so caught in the middle of this furious for how of course is about term quarter of a 1000000 passengers and a lot of money because even though bridges Airways has been making a lot of money it's also stands to lose a lot of money for every single day of the strike yes we're just talking here about the 1st 2 days of strikes another one is has already been announced for the 27th of September maybe it will come to that later but for these 2 days well the cancellations actually began on Sunday evening I make the 1st strike cancellation was a domestic flight from CAN'T WAIT TO jersey followed by similar ones to Edinburgh and Glasgow then that moved on to overseas departures to Heathrow from places like Abu Dabi to buy Nairobi and then a whole wave of flights Normally that would be setting off from North America round about 11 or 12 U.K. Time on the on Sunday night including all 8 services from New York J.F.K. All the fronts from Boston to run 2 out of 3 from Los Angeles one of his 3 from Miami now the funny thing about these flies is that pilots are unable to strike when they're away from base at Heathrow or Gatwick So those flights could all have operated but it seems that there is simply such a shortage of space for parking aircraft Heathrow and Gatwick that they've had to cancel quite a lot so you've got disruption happening even before the strike starts effectively the whole flying program with a handful of exceptions is is rubbed out on. Monday and Tuesday some odd ones going on for it says for. To Tokyo one nadir and one coming back from there as well on Monday and Sydney Singapore Heathrow for right on queues day is also running and if you other odds and ends but nothing significant compared with the 700 or so front of being cancelled and I calculate come back to your question be able to lose between 35 and 40000000 pounds per day in lost revenue but it then has significant costs finding hotels for passengers who journeys been delayed by a few days parking a whole load of $74.00 seventh's in various airports around the world isn't actually going to be very cheap and of course on top of that there's the unquantifiable loss of goodwill and furthermore the bookings that are going to other airlines easy Jet Virgin Atlantic and so on rather the behave because passengers think more can't take a risk with this important holiday a family trip business mission I'm going to book with someone else who I don't it will go on strike and if you. To Fly be what rights do you have. Well luckily the rules are very clear. And it's basically 3 options this is under the European air passenger rights rules which BE A is obliged to observe now you can trivially get a full refund because. If your flight isn't going then you not only get the money back for that but you could get the money back for the return leg even if that's going in normally Now if you're a passenger whose plans have changed or you've baps found the cheaper alternative in the meantime that could be the right thing to do but I don't know if it's going to work for many people. Then they can book on a different date and British Airways very keen to push the idea of staying on be a bit but actually coming back on a different. Day and if you were going on holy summer love Eli added who stand ball and be a said flights are coming back have another couple of days at our expense I think I'd be tempted for that but by that. But the vast majority of people are going to want to be rebooked on the same time or as close to it as possible on a different airline and that has been done in a lot of cases be a has been rebooking with dozens of different airlines starting with easy ones like its partners Iberia half Spain and American Airlines cat Aria ways which owns quite a lot of B.A. So they've done a fair amount of that but then everybody down at Gatwick mostly he's on a short haul flight there will be an equivalent flight on easy Jet and that would be the obvious one for people to go to be a has declined to buy seats on easy Jet and the Civil Aviation Authority is getting increasingly interested in why B.A. Says it can't do. That it says it's reservation systems aren't compatible whereas that's not actually an allowable excuse B. A is supposed to buy the cheapest is whether the most suitable alternative right there she's leaving as close to the original time as possible as a travel guru Simon Calder there so let's turn to our astronomy guru referred to and I don't see Joe Dunkley use an astrophysicist at Princeton University in New Jersey author of our universe and astronomers guide here for our astronomy phone in if you like to join in the conversation if you got any questions for and trust me from memory she can answer them or 808-590-9693 that's the number to call you can segs her on 85058 or e-mail awful night a B.B.C. Dog U.K. So Dr Dunkley Welcome back thanks for having me so I think we should really start with the big news of the weekend which is this missing Indian Space Agency probe where did they go wrong well I think it was at this is just one of those unfortunate things that you know space space space is really hard it's really you know it's it's really hard to successfully you know Lawrence missions land missions and it's kind of to me it's a reminder of how hard space travel is and or space exploration is so it's you know but it's still a great you know and of people should still be trying to do this safe they'd succeeded not only would India have been the 4th nation I think to have landed a spacecraft on the moon but arguably it would have been the Bab's most exciting because they were exploring or not far from obviously apart from Apollo. 11 but there would have been exposed to. The moon the nobody else to travel to that's right yes so you say they meet I mean this incredible thing about you know the mood has been so unexplored anyway right they've been just this number of visits both you know crude people onboard and then visits from explorers and there's some of it so much that we haven't explored. You know this is . You know we see the moon up and I see we see it's you know a space that we that shows itself to us and there's a there's a there's there's so much of it that we haven't been to and so. Yeah I wish I wish it worked. You know figs we have to try again and it would inspire other nations as well I don't know if you saw this you know Vance been in space of the Indian space agency coming back imagine what a huge disappointment would have been for the entire nation there the whole of the sub continent if it had landed out of probably change the game some other thought That's right yeah I think I think this you know we're saying in years gone past it was the U.S. And and Russia and now we're seeing also you know many more countries coming into the space game and I think I think going forward we're going to see a space exploration happening from these multiple nations working together also with with private companies and yes I think that inspires a nation when you do this and we all kind of saw this with our with a 50 year anniversary of the American mainland and. Seeing that success is a great inspiration but I do think that you know. Making days and even if they're not all successes I think will still be inspiring the nation so I hope that they'll be you know space enthusiasts and astronomy enthusiastic India who who feel extra excited by this NASA has said that it will return to the moon in the next couple of years would necessarily have to go where the Indian space agency was going to the South Pole. I think. You know different there are just different interesting codes different places right so. There is an interest in exploring different parts of the main of course and then there's also the home technological end of trying to say how well you can actually land. A spacecraft on the main if you are for example then trying to go to Mars so you know this is one of the future that you know you can I think you go into the bay and as the range for exploring in May you know or going to the main for saying how well you can do for going even further so I think I you know I'm not I'm not sure what the exact. If the goals of the U.S. You know future U.S. Main mission have been completely determined spec there are these different kind of goals of a scientific for exploring the moon or are they kind of for technologically showing how well we can actually then you know want to further missions with all due respect to those who dunk the LEDs put all their philosophical questions to one side because you've got some real nuts and bolts questions here Charlie was you know what's the what's the point to further space exploration that's more like a jolly well done Yeah good thing so. Here I think I think that one of the things is to learn and. OK So there's one I think that exciting thing one can do with space exploration in our own solar system is send Unkrich missions out for example the moons of Jupiter and Saturn and they're these really exciting places these kind of I see manes that could harbor life and one of our huge questions as humans I think is is there life elsewhere and so the opportunity to kind of to go in to explore and try and find out if there's even light in our own solar system I think that's just genuinely exciting for humans. And so that's that that wouldn't be a place we'd send people to it's a place that we'd sand you know probes to spacecraft because Charlie says look it's really exist extremely expensive most places are way too far for humans to sensibly go to so for example vis worlds instead of attempting to contaminate and ruin any other worlds surely the way forward Well yeah I think those 2 few sighs that I absolutely think that you know some of the biggest challenges that we're facing right now of making sure we have the world here to live on one thing I will say is you know my myself I'm an astronomer where my science mostly comes from just looking out into space rather than going out into space and up that's absolutely right that most of the stuff that's out there. We can't get we can only go and look at but it turns out that even to go and look at the stuff you often want to get out of Earth's atmosphere. And go somewhere out and a little bit out into space and actually have the ability to have astronauts that can go and kind of fix telescopes go in you know. Help make sure that we can kind of have have science observatories out there. That is enabling us to look look much much further that we can never go to but here I do think this this this issue of you know is it worth our time because we have these more pressing as more pressing questions. I kind of see the scientific questions that we are asking our answer is you know the enrichment side of human life and of course we have to compliment that with you know the practical side of trying to make sure our planet has healthy to live on you know to be fair to Dunkley Charlie bold you what we call a your go there. Is my understand that having. Is but I'll draw thrown under the arm one from R J H In Eden field is simply a this is easy Surely what is gravity. Well you know what that sounds easy but it's not that easy but you know the kind of easy out there is it's this thing that the end this editing feels close to another object that has some kind of mass that way something. You know and it's just does seem to be the case that anything that has. That does weigh something that has its own mass Holst other things towards it and this isn't you know Newton figured this out hundreds of years ago Einstein kind of refined it. But we still don't I think completely No we don't completely understand it but we you know. It's we see the effect of it all throughout space and a saying that the more massive something is the more pole something towards it and we now we now kind of also have a sense of it this is true Albert Einstein you know a great great scientist that. Effects space itself gravity effects base itself so if you put something that's called mass in space it . Kind of distorts and bends that space but I keep a bowling ball on a rep a sheet bend stakes and other objects. Toward says those things heavy things and swirl around them all but around them because of the fact that they distorted space so here we have it we think we know something of gravity but we don't know we don't know everything all that I would say but every schoolboy things they know something about gravity they say you know what goes up must come down let's go bad I don't know I know just who goes you know much more than a school boy is that sometimes people you know it's more complicated than sitting on apple tree I've never been apple fall on your head I think I wish I had gone through goals schools but me sitting here now would be where you are. As an astrophysicist at Princeton University in New Jersey what you thought I was excluding school goes from there. Should be no 000-085-9969 extension 3 Thankfully we have Dr Joe Dunkley with us from Princeton University and any questions you've got about space. And the other world. C.B.C.
