And just to be perfectly clear, they will never actually be leaving Earth. The space station in question is rooted to the ground in Germany. Okay, so who on Earth would actually want to do this? We don't know their names, but we know their age between 26 and 36 from six different European countries. They do get paid, it's around $27,000, and they are currently doing this experiment. They're currently spending their days doing exactly what they do in space and following a strict daily schedule.

Tämä on tosiaan toinen kokemus, joka oli tehty vuonna 2010, ja se meni 520 päivän aikana. Viisi naisen valonnollisuuksia valkoisessa ilmastopaikassa russissa. Tämä on käsittely videokirjasta yhdestä osallistujasta, Diego Urbina. Yksinkertaisia asioita, kuten ilmaisu, kuten, en tiedä, mennä laulaamaan ilmaisuun.

So quite good, I think, Anka, this experiment in putting life into perspective, because I think we all get annoyed with our colleagues, with our family, with our friends sometimes, but we can all be thankful that we're not locked in a small room of them for a hundred days somewhere in Germany.

Will Chalk reporting. Let's go to Kenya's Rift Valley province now and the village of the record-breaking marathon runner Sebastian Sawe. They've been celebrating there since the 31-year-old became the first person to run the distance in under two hours in London at the weekend. His parents say his achievement will change not only their lives, but those of the whole community. Our Africa correspondent Barbara Platascha reports.

I was afraid the runner from Ethiopia would beat him. When I saw Sebastian pull ahead, I was so excited. I started celebrating and did not even watch the end of the race. I was very happy. I thank God. I jumped around the house. I just didn't know what to do. I was so happy.

Emily, Sebastian's mother, takes the lead. Thank you so much, my son, for the marvelous things you have done, she sings. Her son is a man from modest beginnings in rural Kenya, but his parents tell us their lives are now set to change along with his. We are so grateful and thank God, they say. He has really lifted us up and will give back to the community.

Todellisuus on se, että hän antoi meiltä, että rakentaa meille kaupungin. Ja hän sanoi, että ostaisi meille auton, jotta emme kävi enää. Hän antoi myös, että lopettaisiin rakentamme kaupungin täällä. Sebastian on erityinen, mutta hän ei ole yksin. Monet elittävät marathoittajat ovat tullut tästä puolesta maailmasta. Täällä rauhoittuu nyt, mutta Kenian suomalaiset suomalaiset ovat globaalinen kaupungin korkeakoulutus.

It helps athletes build their endurance and their lung capacity. At the moment, Sebastian is still enjoying the limelight in London, and that will certainly continue when he returns to Kenya, say his parents. We are planning to welcome him, to have a celebration and a thanksgiving, because he has done wonders.

We wanted to have the celebrations for him before, but he said no. Wait until I break the world record. So now we will ask him if we are free to go ahead with the celebration. This time they won't take no for an answer. It's an incredible achievement for Kenya that's reverberating around the world and will be a hero's welcome for the local boy who delivered it.

Hello, I'm Ankur Desai and in the afternoon of Monday the 27th of April, these are our main stories. A man accused of an armed attack at a dinner in Washington attended by Donald Trump over the weekend is due to appear in court. Meanwhile, President Trump says Britain's King Charles will be very safe during his state visit to the US.

Myös tässä podcastissa. Onko sinulla koskaan nähnyt vihreää? Uusi tutkimus tarkoittaa, että jos ajattelet, että sinulla on, voit olla väärässä. Tämä idea, että vähäinen ääni, ja se on infrasauni, voi vaikuttaa meidät fysiologisesti, joten se voi vaikuttaa meidät niin, että voimme ajatella, että se on jonkinlainen paranormaali kokemus.

Ja katsotaan taas elämää Nedra Talley Rose, viimeinen elinkeinovaltuutettu Amerikkalaisen pop-ryhmän Ronetta, joka on kuullut 80-vuotiaana.

First, the man suspected of trying to shoot President Trump or members of his administration will appear in court later, charged with using a firearm during a crime of violence and assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon. The FBI have been investigating Thomas Cole Allen, as well as how he managed to get so close to the White House correspondent's dinner on Saturday while heavily armed.

One Secret Service agent was shot as the part-time tutor rushed at security, causing chaos at an event normally known as a friendly mixer between the White House and the press.

And Sharma, do we know any more about how he was able to get so close to the president?
