even though we use power gen. others when the electricity goes off at night for several hours we also pay a lot of money to menton our ruined machines. generators have become a grown trade but they are taking a toll on the environment and people's pockets to all these subzero with power generators to run their businesses and you can hear their sound all over the city frequent power cuts have affected almost all sectors and during the summer months they it usually forces many people out of their homes families flock to public parks like this one for some cool air although sustain their cars for long hours just to use the air conditioners. solar energy is used in some medical centers though it's more costly to turn a jap in r.b.s. as each baby incubators here operates through six power plants that the.

power level fluctuations and switching from one power supply to another can affect these incubators and that endangers babies lives. but the government agency that provides electricity blames the consumers in all sectors for what it calls excessive voltage consumption it's recently conducted a campaign to stop the illegal use of power it's also urging consumers to cut back on their consumption for up that had entered the current production is around five thousand five hundred megawatts what consumption is more than seven thousand two hundred megawatts depending on consumers' conduct also several power plants have stopped working after foreign workers who operated them left because of the security and financial deterioration in the country many shop owners like mohammed have had to let go their workers and small businesses that cannot afford generators

rule of law you know these are steps basically would be criminalized low level corruption or reduce and weaken the fight against fight against corruption which has been crap has been a big problem in romania for a long time and the people i angry about that and feel that the system needs to change to rise protests there were an estimated one hundred thousand in food and maybe another thirty thousand in other cities so it was a large protest it wasn't as large as the half million people we saw last year in february two thousand and seventy when the government first tried. legislation that would if we can rule of law but it's the largest protests we have seen in. nine months. so it was large anyway but then what happened tonight was shocking it was very surprising in the talk of the protests have been have been peaceful i've been covering remain out for five years and so i was the first night i've ever been tear

a half centimeters thick they say it will protect the equipment that will be surveilling the sun as it sweeps through its corona or outer outlets for the real kill himself about twenty five hundred degrees fahrenheit which are not going to do today but we are going to get it under degrees there and i want to feel like. i see that in the temperature of the corona is just one of the counter intuitive mysteries that the park a probe hopes to solve why is it so much hotter than the sun's core several hundred times hotter science would suggest that the further away from the sun surface the cooler the atmosphere should be the probe is named after eugene parker who formulated the theory of so no wind will be present to watch the moon for the spacecraft named in his own. in one hundred fifty eight he theorized that a flow of particles accelerated into space from the sun and that proved to be true but scientists still don't know how this phenomenon occurs theoretically such particles should cool down and dissipate the further from the sun they get not

speed up so the wind streams could impact satellites in space and g.p.s. radio waves and electrical grids on earth they also cause rural when they crash into the earth's magnetic field and the deflected the probe will begin its first approach to the sun in november as part of its seventy a mission we will go high. and i think it's being before we are in that three million degree plasma region in the corona well gradually will close it will take set of seven giant steps closer to the sun until we're in that final region and as it makes those dives towards the sun surface but paulk or so the probe will eventually become befalls just object ever created by humankind. we've been speaking to terry malick his and astro genesis space dot com and he describes why it's so difficult for nasa this is something that's never been done before you know nasa is going to take a spacecraft and launch it into the outer edges of the star that we that we all see

every day and it's something that you know the hope to kind of uncover some of these mysteries of the sun that we just still even after decades and hundreds of years of observing it don't fully understand why this outer fringe this corona of the sun is so much hotter than the actual surface of the sun is this you know lingering mystery that scientists hope this mission could answer the first big challenge is the loss you know everything does have to go right for this mission to lift off only has a few more days beyond that and maybe another week or so in their launch window to try it once that it gets off the ground it's straight to the sun as your course what i mentioned earlier this is supposed to be the fastest spacecraft ever it's going to loop around venus to supercharge its speed as it approaches the sun and then it has to kind of just towed it through that atmosphere as as fast as possible so it doesn't cook it has that special heat shield made out of carbon fiber foam to kind of keep her room temperature atmosphere around its instruments while it's

susceptible to this super burning hot of the sun so you know if all of those calculations work and if the material can survive it's going to work out to scrape . let's have a look at the top stories here it out zira turkey's president is a people to shore up their currency by selling dollars in exchange for the turkish lira the layers fall into a record low whopping thirty five percent of its value since the start of the year partly because of additional terrorists levied by the u.s. on steel and dollar million a u.s. during his older that the makers of a controversial wheat killer pay more than two hundred fifty million dollars in damages california grounds wind wayne johnson who's dying of cancer accuse monsanto of ignoring the health risks of its products roundup monsanto says it will appeal
