israeli settlers on palestinians in the occupied west bank. there are whole breaking musical how milton goes off broadway to a homecoming in puerto rico. how the rain has gone for the most part we still got streaks of cloud running from me and mark trust northern vietnam and through china and something bit more obvious where the cold air sits but it's a dry forecasts the sunday increasing clouds suggest it may not stay that way and i think if you pump it emotionally correct we're going to rain developing in the middle or suppose sorts was who had the yangtze valley this is it's fine in hong kong twenty two probably fairly humid degrees actually look at the wind direction to the west that again there's a little bit of cloud falling we've seen it comes from afghanistan through the hindu kush and there it is again up to the kashmir valley as well so we will see

once again rain showers on board likely snow that rapidly of course maintains itself a stone as it has to western the pole or gets to on sunday nothing much happens as far south as new delhi the rest of india generally speaking sri lanka to generally find this cloud clearly in sri lanka possible to the old shower of the eighty new delhi follow the line back of your eyes new season live on to know where the cloud has gathered there's not much rain in this sunday but there will be some developing at least on the iranian side but it's hard to get to monday to sayas i think is just cloud wrist simply takes away the sunshine. it's very difficult as a chef or restaurant or to buy shrimp with the call for them that what you're serving is going to be good seafood by nature is a high risk sometimes for. production drugs. that are not approved for

use in the u.s. the f.d.a. simply isn't has staying on the imported market to really find all of these violent . take on al-jazeera. again you're watching al-jazeera a reminder of our top stories this hour the runner up in the presidential election the democratic republic of congo has challenged the resulting coltan call for a recount says he won with more than sixty percent citing catholic church election observers. u.s.

president donald trump has criticized the new york times reports the f.b.i. opened an inquiry into him in may twenty seventeen it was to find out if trump was secretly working on behalf of russia against u.s. interests. the u.s. government's twenty two day shutdown is now the longest in its history president trump has backed away from a threat to declare a national emergency to fund his border war but he still demanding congress approved more than five billion dollars for the project for israeli settlers are under house arrest in connection with the killing of a palestinian woman three months ago. died after rocks were thrown through the windscreen of a car fifteen is in police custody. as harry forsett reports now from the occupied west bank statistics show the number of violent crimes by settlers against palestinians rose steeply last year

unfortunately we don't have the harries report at this point apologies for that were in the van for now. people have eight people from one family have been killed in yemen in a shelling attack from the rebels the four women and four children died in a government held village called close to the border with saudi arabia and saudi u.a.e. coalition says it destroyed the who teach drone control center that was used in an attack on a military parade on thursday a un coordinator lee's grand day is in the port of data to monitor the humanitarian situation there the un envoy to yemen martin griffiths has expressed alarm over the escalation in violence and is urging all sides to show restraint both sides agreed on a truce around the port which is a vital entry point for aid but there's been several cease fire violations syrian

of american troops from city problem of this storage is full of weapons and ammunition we took from i saw fighters after days of fighting here this assault on a cell is the final chapter of a conflict that began more than four years ago when the group says parts of it out in cities and declared a hug. it out to government forces declared victory over i still in december two thousand and seventy and despite analysts say their ideology is also very much alive in the region he truly believes it was pushed back. your logic there the sunni complaints they have been totally wrong over and everybody. that ukraine should be still really brutal and therefore radicalism over the eye is already. has eat roots and. that's why it has been

totally illegal the fighting between the as d.f. and i still is centered around the town of hygiene on the banks of the euphrates river close to the syrian border with iraq the hygiene area was once home to sixty thousand people most fled to live in much of the comps for the displaced. as renewed fighting intensifies more people are joining them here dozens of the newly displaced wait for tents and blankets in the bitter and some say they fled on foot because they heard the u.s. warplanes bomb being vehicles. back on the frontlines as their fighters are preparing for a long long there is to make the fighting will last two to three months not may seem like a surprisingly one time given the size of but any of them dealing with are still hell cities with populations three times greater fell with in days the difference

is that in both bottles us and flight this is the typically route through to troops and probably one from their positions in order to close for a day to. this time though it is not the most mohammed of the world as it doesn't. our ninth weekend of yellow vest protests are underway in towns and cities across france thousands of police as well as armored vehicles have been deployed in the capital and elsewhere is a live pictures that you're looking at from paris demonstrators are again protesting against fuel taxes and president emanuel mccraw is in leadership. police have been out in force on this saturday for yet another weekend of those yellow vests protest in france live pictures there from the french capital. now the teenager who fled saudi arabia because she feared being killed by her

family for announcing a slam is about to land in her new home canada is granted asylum to how much room she gained global attention for barricading herself in a hotel in thailand to avoid deportation to saudi arabia john hendren has more. in a desperate plea from a barricaded hotel room noone urged the world to come to her rescue i'm still and. i have no choice. they said i have to go to model and. no one can have been right now on friday she got her wish and we have accepted the un's request that we grant her asylum that is something that we are pleased to do because canada is a country that understands how important it is to stand up for human rights to stand up for women's rights around the world the canadian prime minister's announcement ended a weeklong drama that drew worldwide attention the eighteen year old fled saudi

arabia accusing her family of physical and psychological abuse but was detained by the authorities in bangkok who at one point threatened to send her back she launched a social media campaign from her hotel room appealing to the united nations high commission on refugees saying she would be killed if she returned i'm not leaving my own until i see it. i want. the un agreed in turn to canada saudi arabia already faces international scrutiny over the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi in the saudi consulate in istanbul in october that prompted canada to review its arms sales to saudi arabia and. the case has drawn global attention district guardianship laws that require saudi women to get a male guardians permission to travel or escape is said to have inspired other

saudi women rajoub how mad. mock my god is going to start a revolution in saudi arabia go on social media now and watch the accounts off so many young saudis see you have shown us that we can do this noone refused to see her father and brother who traveled to bangkok to seek or return in the end it might have been noon savvy use of social media that led her to a new life in canada. two saudi official reportedly told the thai authorities who sees through passport i wish they'd taken her phone instead john hendren zero zero let's go live now to toronto and reporter mike hanna so mike when are we expecting a hostile hummel connect to land there. and i can tell you that her plane from seoul has just landed we're not quite sure how long it's going to take to clear her through customs and all the formality of

taking an emergency refugee status status so we're all waiting for her to come through here at the arrivals at toronto airport as i said i can confirm that the plane from seoul has landed this is all arranged in an absolute rush the u.n. high commission for refugees getting directly involved approaching the canadians the canadians coming through very quickly with the decision to grant her asylum so we are expecting within the next hour or so unclear exactly how long it is going to take that her half alkan on will arrive here in toronto begin a new life away from saudi arabia and what sort of a reception has this story been getting there mike because obviously it's been getting a lot of attention around the world because of a social media campaign and all the rest of what what people in canada been saying . well certainly you can see this immense public interest

here just by the size of the media contingent awaiting her arrival but there's another side to all of this as well relations between canada and saudi arabia have been extremely rocky's since august over a spat about comments or criticism canadian criticism of saudi arabia the envoy was withdrawn from ottawa the flights was stopped to canada so this has been an ongoing bottom in relations this is just going to accentuate that thanks for that mike mike hanna in toronto i want to tell you a story that we told you a little bit about earlier four israeli settlers are under house arrest in connection with the killing of a palestinian woman three months ago his hairy force and now from the occupied west bank. he is finding comfort where he can mainly it comes from his family he and his wife i raised eight children together he says they always planned once the kids had finished their schooling to devote more time to each other to travel together but

that future was shattered in october last year when driving home past an illegal settlement outposts in the occupied west bank their car came under a hail of rocks and stones enough so. there was a huge explosion in the car the glass fell n. my wife and i had been talking in the rocket on the side of her had she fell on me but came out from her ears and nose my daughter was screaming i didn't know what to do the car was swerving right and left it was the longest three seconds of my life three months on the israeli security services have arrested five students from a religious school at the outpost in connection with a shower robbie's death saying that they collected evidence of extremist and anti zionist religious ideology consistent with what's referred to in the israeli media as jewish tara the suspects are reported to be from the illegal settlement of youths are near the palestinian city of nablus for all the attention is raised this attack is not an isolated one it's part of a patent a surge according to recently published figures of attacks by settlers on

palestinians in the occupied west bank in july twenty fifteen a husband wife and their toddler son were killed in the fire bombing of a palestinian home in the west bank village of duma a crackdown by israel security services saw a reduction in settler violence last year the numbers rose sharply again it's reported there were four hundred eighty two and the palestinian crimes a three fold increase on the previous year the incidents include assaults vandalism of vehicles and property as well as threatening graffiti israeli human rights group ph d. and recorded twenty five such incidents in just one day last month after two israeli soldiers and one baby were killed in palestinian attacks it says too many settler crimes against palestinians go unpunished we've had about over twelve hundred investigation falsely documented and monitored since two thousand. five and eight percent of those indictments were served and in a mere three percent were any convictions served we also noted that eighty two

percent of investigation files are closed in circumstances that suggest police investigate a failure to israeli police called those figures misleading and incorrect your cue ball robbie says he is finding some solace in the fact that suspects have been arrested in connection with his wife's killing he hopes that any eventual punishment will act as a deterrent to others but whether the freed or jailed for one hundred years he says nothing will bring back his wife hari forsett al-jazeera in the occupied west bank . now it's six hundred sixty two years since a hurricane devastated puerto rico forcing many to leave they include a young man who went on to become one of america's founding fathers story of alexander hamilton is an acclaimed news a call on broadway which is moving from new york to go back to its roots charles bellus reports. transported from broadway to a performing arts scene to in san juan and new audiences experiencing the pop culture phenomenon hamilton was moved

a lot of things to the spirit with the people tonight the response when you speak with. the stories come full circle alexander hamilton lift the caribbean after it was devastated by a hurricane in the eighteenth century he became an american founding father and the first treasury secretary in the musical has returned to support puerto rico still reeling from hurricane maria and twenty seventeen nearly three thousand people were killed and much of its infrastructure destroyed the how this island has come out of devastation and come out of really just nothing and rebuilt and coming alive again i feel like the lynn thing that sound was so powerful i get emotional this thinking about it. hold your nose and close your eyes hamilton has taken politics from the stage to the president creation in man well miranda has used the

success of the play winning a live in tony awards in the parlance a price for drama as a platform his the cast addressing vice president elect mike pence and twenty sixteen urging the administration to our poll values our diversity warm our issues and measuring. senses broadway debut in twenty fifteen miranda a new york native of puerto. he can to st has no beat for the u.s. territory he joined a chorus of criticism of president trump accused by many of not doing enough to help the victims of hurricane maria and on friday reacted to trump suggestion to reallocate funds from hurricanes and floods to boost the southern border wall. it's obvious that. the worst is in the british it sounds like they say the profit model is not going to. let

a person there right so tonight i think that's absolutely monstrous it's an emotional homecoming for miranda who's bringing politics to life all raising money for puerto rican all of the show's two week run i shall a bellus al-jazeera. this is al jazeera it's going to round up of our top stories the runner up in the presidential election in the democratic republic of congo has arrived in court to challenge the result martin for human says vote counting by catholic church election observers show he won with sixty one percent of the votes and he says that compares with just eighteen percent won by the declared when a rival opposition candidate felix she said katie i'm hoping that the constitutional court we called the electoral commission to recount the ballot

papers because that's what the law says we are totally disagree with it is that sydney has announced that if they are fabricated nothing to do with the truth and they want its roots the truth as to come from the recount of the ballot people. u.s. president donald trump has criticized the new york times report the f.b.i. opened an inquiry into him in may two thousand and seventeen it was to find out if trump was secretly working on behalf of russia against u.s. interests syrian state media says israel has fired several missiles towards its capital damascus reports say the strikes hit near the city's airport syria says some of them were shot down by air defenses the teenager who fled saudi arabia because she feared being killed by her family for announcing his slam has landed in her new home canada granted asylum to. global attention for barricading herself

in a hotel in thailand those are the headlines. culturally i believe doubt the muslims had a far greater affects all europe than here up on the middle east. the crusaders fault for olshansky because they failed to recognize the moment cool you've had arrived enough halakhah it was in the the list campaign of colonization that exploded religion in the name of the cross of the crusades an arab perspective the find of the so liberation at this time on a jersey. with bureaus spanning six continents across the globe. to. al-jazeera has correspondents live in green the stories they tell. us

about it. al-jazeera fluent in world news how much more are we going to invest in the elusive notion that militaries guarantee on national security and poverty destitution and the sense of on fan this that actually had the ha the virtually every civil conflict in the last twenty years of him stein a head of the u.n. development program to al-jazeera. this is techno a show about innovations that can change lives the science of fighting wildfires we're going to explore the intersection of hardware and humanity and we're doing it a unique way. this is a show about science though not lies scientists. tonight techno investigates shrimp safety seafood by nature is a high risk commodity for americans love their shrimp but most of it comes from

countries that use extensive antibiotics that could make you ill now techno goes inside the federal testing program from. the food. that's supposed to protect the food supply doctors should do some more is mechanical engineer she will share the results of her investigation to how dangerous is that for human beings and i'm still taurus i'm an entomologist visit a shrimp farm in the middle of indiana yes indiana that could revolutionize the industry. this is like a little laboratory here yes it is. a terrorist santa maria it is a neuroscientist. imagine that you are one of the first to take a trip to mars. this is the definition of pioneering that's what makes it exciting . team no let's do some science. yes.

and welcome to techno on phil tours joined by dr showed you some aura and. one of my favorite things is shrimp soon ruling away on a hot grill but i also have a fair amount of hesitation when it comes to actually knowing where that shrimp comes from then you may not realize it but shrimp raised overseas can have high levels of antibiotics and other additives that don't always pass american safety standards and america imports a lot of ira billion pounds so we asked the food and drug administration the agency responsible for policing u.s. ports if we could follow them while they test unsafe shipments. america has a jumbo appetite for shrimp you know it's a little piece of flesh that they could be easy it's kind of like popcorn of the sea americans it's an average of four pounds.

at fred sixty two. chef fred eric says a lot of show. it's very difficult as a chef or restaurant or to buy shrimp with the confidence that what you're serving them is going to be good tripod right which. americans taste comes with a price. ninety percent of the shrimp eaten in the u.s. is imported. much of it from countries like india thailand and indonesia sometimes trip is raised overseas using production drugs like antibiotics that are approved for use in those countries but not approved for use in the u.s. johns hopkins microbiologist david love surveyed federal data on drugs found in imported shrimp some of the top drugs that we found in shrimp were i'm sure if your aunts chloramphenicol tetracycline salvato meds and instructed my son what does it

mean for the consumer to be exposed to antibiotic resistant bacteria if you get an infection from these bacteria it can be hard to treat using antibiotics especially if these bacteria are resistant to the antibiotics that your doctor would prescribe you see shroom bombs that use antibiotics often farm with overcrowded pawn diseases are a big deal in term farming can be a high mortality rate in some farms. the food and drug administration polices shrimp imports. five point five billion pounds of c thing it is imported into the united states every year and much of it ends up in a cold storage facility like this one in southern california but only a tiny fraction of all of that seafood is actually inspected so we've come here today to find out exactly how the f.d.a.

. emily morrison is a veteran f.d.a. inspector collected one subsample out of fifteen random boxes and now in the process of bagging them. put them in coolers. and ship it to the lab a computer system red flags imports believed to pose the greatest risk based on country of origin and the company's past history of violations seafood by nature is a high risk commodity dance elise has inspections at the ports of los angeles so there are many boxes here and they're all packed full what percentage of the sample gets chosen to be taken to the lab so f.d.a. reviews all electronic transmissions and we utilize things like foreign inspection

domestic inspection whether it was sampled and another for all that information's gather within the predict application and then that shipment will be given a risk or the higher the risk or the more chances one of these officers will sample that much or. once the f.d.a. inspector picks some pills for inspection they're sent to an f.d.a. lab like this one in fine california. you may be assured they are all. good i can imagine. that the sugar is mixed with a chemical solvent dried and liquefied again run through an analyzer. is an f.d.a. chemist the results are written from the tests what are they showing us in this case the compound working for sponsored programs and how dangerous is that for human beings virtual current is dangerous for human beings because it's costs so

much. more natural for this are one the building or one cause of this improvement to more than one so. good size. so how many parts per billion is this result i was one hundred true building or so two grains and so in the olympic sized pool when you've managed to find it out by now that's incredible so that batch of sram is not allowed in this country is that this not going to be how long does the f.d.a. simply isn't testing enough on the imported market to really find all of these violet of residues dr rangan had a study of imported shrimp for the june two thousand and fifteen issue of the influential magazine consumer reports of the two hundred five imported farm samples that we found a leaven of those actually had illegal residues of antibiotics on them that comes

out to about five percent of the imported farm shrimp samples being contaminated with an illegal antibiotic residue the fact that the f.d.a. only tests about point seven percent of all the shrimp in this country for. for those antibiotic residues suggests that the agency is not actually testing enough shrimp to catch the amount of illegal residue products that may be coming into the market however many of the countries that export the shrimp permit the use of antibiotics when you feed low levels of antibiotics every day you're not feeding them enough to necessarily kill bacteria those bacteria can become resistant to those antibiotics and that can make those antibiotics less effective in people if we're infected by those bacteria just as worrisome was the number of shrimp that tested positive for bacteria we found about a third of the shrimp that we had had vibrio contamination vibrio is one of the few

food borne illnesses on the rise seven of the samples we found had mercy that's concerning too and that's probably primarily associated with the amount of processing that goes on the shrimp production both have the potential to cause illness through the cooking process they can be killed we do know that there are shrimp farms and shrimp production practices that are doing a lot more to address those issues that are addressing hygiene and addressing other issues so that they aren't heavily reliant on drugs or other chemicals. six hundred miles from the nearest ocean. windmills and soybean and corn fields as tiny indiana home to. mom and pop indoor salt water shrimp for. their own they're over and i'm struggling now welcomed r.d.f. travis county. dear old brown accidental shrimp farming pioneers

now at six pounds with thirty two dozen backyard pools is growing takes the perfect indoor system with zero waste no chemicals in the ninety percent survival. that's a third higher than traditional outdoor shrimp farms well this is like a little laboratory here yes it is in the short form yes it is we do nine tests every single day we do temperature dissolved oxygen night shite c o two salinity alkalinity ph ammonia and flop as you can see our water is brown the test for doing here right now is we're trying to see how much bacteria is in our water and we call the settling so you're basically waiting for all these bacteria to go to the bottom and that tells you how much is in how much we have an exact like air for over a certain level then we have to get it out of the tanks otherwise it's going to start suffocating the strap that's very important that has to be done every day basically we're not even farmers anymore we ask ourselves guardians of water as

long as the water does what it's supposed to be doing the trick to just fine we add no antibiotics no hormones are ever added into our tanks you heard that right no antibiotics no hormones just fish food salts and baking so it's called a head root troop with bio flux system a process that revolves around bacteria no it looks very room what is this room that i'm seeing the ground is the bacteria and the bacteria is why they sell their way so that they can survive without a major filter here's what's happening below the surface the shrimp eat their feed in excrete bemoan the bacteria turns that into talks ignite troitsky other bacteria turn that into benign i treat them as the waters air raided the nitrates turn into a harmless gas and around and around how long have you had this water for years and how does it compare to other short forms most of don't have water that law we by

mistake actually kept our water it's like it's maturing it's like one yeah and we just found out that the older it gets the better it gets and so too for the shrimp the growing process starts every month with about two hundred fifty thousand newborns called post large bulls nicknamed. now we're going to show you about r p l's and when they come in they're the size of an eyelash so it's hard to see inside this water how many shrimp are actually in here we stock about seventeen thousand each one of my six tanks there so what are all these tubes coming down those are airlines that adds the oxygen and their oxygen and keeps everything in suspense in because if this stuff settles i'll have twenty minutes and then twenty minutes i meant maybe that everything here seems so precise it has to be it's mother nature will it is mother nature but with a lot of help from a mother in indiana and i noticed there's foam on top what is this foam foam is mostly c o two mixing with their feed that just comes to the top and it will

actually disappear so it's part of the process is part of the process. yeah the song yes. this is what you see in the supermarket when you get a shrimp down as i said they can be frozen with a hat on their very translucent and one of the characteristics we actually look for mine say the long and ten is one thousand they're happy. and they're intended to start their fast now they begin seeing here this is their only protection and these mad right now that mouthpieces have these very angry at me as well horn yeah that if you can look right where your thumb is that that's where part is that. you can see it start being. a month later they're promoted to the production team with the turn in to dinner they are. already you know you have to keep going do it after. you get sick. or you say

a number of beds are brown so about five hundred pounds directly to walk ins each month at eighteen dollars thank you very much thanks dave. the postal sold there know how to do doesn't stir. forms in the u.s. as well as ones in switzerland and spain these companies are really innovators they're trying out new technology johns hopkins microbiologist david love studies true production he gives the production like the browns a high grade with one can of yachts one that could ultimately make or break in the business world a lot of these farms my start out with a bang but then fizzle after a few years because they don't make money for the browns shrimp farming is paying off no financial fizzle only says that as the business continues to grow is it already it is that bad but the proof of their success is what ends up on the plate

in this case innovation tastes pretty good when served with a profit motive so you would. know i still can't get over the fact that possibly the cleanest and arguably the best shrimp in the world may come from the middle of indiana so you get some. in the table it looks a little gross i get that but it's chemistry in there and get any results is really good there's a global problem with using a lot of antibiotics in farming the more antibiotics used the more we're going to start seeing antibiotic resistant superbugs it happens in agribusiness here in the us it happens overseas and it even happens in medical practice you know a lot of people ask why should we care if there's some superbug that can infect shrimp how does that affect us but what they found is that bacteria can actually swap genes so potentially if the bacteria that infect shrimp becomes resistant it could swap that gene into

a bacteria that infects us and so that resistance me passed on and the amounts of you know millions of pounds of antibiotics are being used around the world not just in trim but in cattle and poultry as well that is going to catch up to us when it hits our health care system adds. it's called a spillover event it's not infection it's an infection that happens in an animal species and then just like that a human can get infected too and it's been the source of most deadly diseases that medicine can't keep up with and that's where you look at the numbers could we have a billion pounds getting imported here only two percent actually gets inspected what about the other ninety percent it's important to have confidence in the system moving forward if we're going to keep eating shrimp and the inspection process the same brand i mean the amount of shipping that came investors will actually made it into a lab is tiny care what you have co-wrote for us next you have really interesting story now imagine that you are one of the first pioneers to take a trip to mars but also imagine that you're not allowed to come home it's

a one way trip which you guys do at. i met a woman who is already signed up and she's raring to go. for decades humanity has been fascinated with a manned expedition to mars. this is. the definition of pioneering. that doesn't scare here that's what makes it exciting robotic pioneers like mars curiosity rover have been crawling around the cratered landscape uncovering clues. about whether this distant planet can sustain life as we know it do you have the right stuff to have that right stuff jamie del rosario is a twenty seven year old entrepreneur and c.e.o. of the international metal source a raw materials company that supplies metals to aerospace companies like space x.

and lockheed martin she is one of one hundred candidates that has been selected by mars one a private company that wants to colonize the red planet the catch there's no return flight home what do you say to people when they say jamie this is a suicide mission why are you doing it call it as i said mission but it's something that i chose i'm creating my own destiny for myself and and if it's a destiny that would help humanity. i'm all for it. according to mars one one of the main goals of the project is to establish an interplanetary species to preserve the human race. i want to contribute directly to mankind's call for the expansion of the solar system which we have to look for a point destroyer to the one she made it to the top one hundred the third round of a selection process mars one says started with two hundred thousand online applicants ultimately twenty four crew members will be chosen. do you think that

anybody with enough training could be. common astronaut i believe that if you have . the motivation and it's tearing a should have of wanting to do it you can a mission to mars is obviously no simple matter pasadena california is home to the mars program at nasa is jet propulsion laboratory nasa has taken the man to the moon and back but they've approached this journey with a much more deliberate and rigorous training program. i'm now on the base on mars and i will give you a little tour in two thousand and fifteen six volunteer scientists walked out of a dome on the side of a hawaiian volcano after being locked away by nasa for eight months this was a simulated experiment of what life on mars would be like coexisting is one challenge getting there and surviving is an entirely different endeavor landing on mars is still pretty well sometimes it can be quite

a terrifying play. dr richard zurek is the chief scientist for the mars program at nasa is jet propulsion laboratory a lot of things have to happen right right know we fly into the atmosphere we have would he choose the protection but we're also trying to slow down so that we can land softly. we're talking about a very different scale of endeavor we're landing a metric ton down on the planet today we think for human missions to get stuff down on the surface that they can use that they can be there for a long period of time that means forty fifty metric tons that's a lot of material today we don't know how to land on mars one has come under critical fire for their project primarily due to funding issues and for reports of recording the mission for reality television show. in march two thousand and

fifteen c.e.o. basilan store took to you tube to respond they are currently selling our documentary series to international brawls costs or there's no deal in place yet but it's looking very promising there's a lot of interest of course when we really fell you a good criticism about our mission because it helps us to improve our mission also tells techno quote there are less serious critics who are only interested to sabotage our mission for example by lying but even if. this nonprofit's mission never launches nasa is laying the groundwork today this is very much in the mode there are going to be humans on mars we're in the first stages of trying to understand what it takes to actually be able to explore with humans on the surface of the planet we've made a good start for everybody program first it's to get down there see what the planet is like if those first explorers out there on the surface in that we can see what

the future holds not in a million years but i want to go and colonize mars i mean there's so many risks it's so frightening to me what is the value that's different from me and probably from most of the people living on this planet who are afraid to go some people just have different goals and missions i want to do something that would change the world or help the world so if you are selected to go to mars do you foresee yourself getting married on mars having children i'd say. is you know interesting because it will happen do you think that's going to be a part of your training i would think so i mean that's something that we cannot shying away from because we're the new frontiers of calling me and i think another part in the solar system are you scare leaving earth behind i will miss it everybody is trying to get to mars and i think what stands out with my swan is a permanent settlement and i think this is the time now.

so i'm really interested you guys would you sign up for a one way mission to mars i wouldn't you wouldn't know where i would possibly but i don't think i would sign up for this one way mission to mars when you look through history so many pioneers and explorers were to be fair a little bit crazy and sometimes they succeeded but other times they didn't but it always will push progress forward just a little bit through how i think the merit of this project is the fact that the goal lives to try to be able to achieve living on mars and the result of having a go at night which is extremely ambitious is the amount of technology that's going to be developed you know just crazy inventions in innovations that are going to come out of a kind of pie in the sky it's you know i think we've talked sustaining life on other planets versus sustaining life here on earth is really interesting topics today guys so thank you for them we'll have a lot more of these stories next on here in techno we'll see you then dive deep

to put the new live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live it out as the red dot com there was always concern that the presidential election democratic republic of congo wouldn't be clear cut that they would be claims of irregularities a worse violence well now the result is officially in courts runner up his vote counting by observers in the catholic church actually show he won sixty one percent of the vote and he's there for the winner with rival opposition candidate and declared winner we should say felix. getting just eighteen percent both the congolese catholic church and the french government dispute the official results saying it doesn't match what election observers saw. i'm hoping that the courts. to. help us because that's what. we totally disagree with that is not to say.

that if they are from the kid turned down and nothing to do with the truth and i want to get through that i was to come from d. . of the bunch of people so here's how to read the following events from how do you know the first thing that strikes me is what a jump it is saying sixty one percent compared with eighteen percent for the actual declared winner it's a huge change it is a huge change and much in play you see is the media hope that the courts will be independent it was a day that was full of drama he was meant to be the court at nine in the morning but he only sort of to see him because some of the supporters were dealing with police issues that when i wanted to come with him to court but the police telling them they cannot go with him to court because they were concerned about it but probably won't be able to control it some of them who did try to come to court what been dispersed by the police some of them we told were beaten up the police think closed roads leading up to the courts they went to buy you house in the city that

we're not going to stop you from going to court because it is your right but you cannot bring your supportive he wasn't happy about that he didn't play could not to go to court and get employed he eventually showed up and he told john is that he really believed in this election was stolen. so what happens now time wise. how do you know just because and we've said it so many times everything has been about delays delays delays with this election. the judges will meet on monday and tuesday go through this evidence that for you he says proves that he won the election if they decide that there's no case in this throws a mess out then feel it as a kid to be officially declared president elect and he'll before noon on january eighteenth so what do you do that is a concern he could tell the supporters to block the streets and protest if that happens the right police could be deployed they could be violent not just into just but also across the country i've just spoken to the katy spokesman and he has

mystify you that is listen we cooperate we've been through elections this fall how can you say we cheated we won genuinely come to work with us we both this country built a bit of congo where the for you to listen to that we don't know right now all eyes are on the courts and i'm dependent on those judges going to be and this remains an internal issue i only ask because i did mention before that for example the catholic church and the french government of both said we're not so sure about that florida. exactly it seems from the international community to the country by fraud they are very suspicious of us without the catholic church that forty thousand election observers on the ground say quoting to their tally but you're the one in terms of getting from african countries that he's a body static for example say that they feel generally things went relatively well and they say that they lose that you should take his medicine course same sentiments from the african union so it does seem once again we have a case maybe some countries in the way are at odds with some countries in africa

but ultimately the decision of course lies with the courts and the judges how would they rule and people are hoping to find that maybe to say maybe late wednesday and interfering in ceremony will be on january eighteenth if there are no complications to say ok thank you for a lunch up five hundred times in can show. want to keep in touch with us please do she look for how to go on twitter is a lot of how to keep up with her updates they hash tag a.j. news grid to get in touch with us right now or at any time actually at a.j. english on twitter we are looking for your tweets in the thread there ben's on duty tonight looking for that facebook dot com slash al-jazeera for the live stream if you want to comment amongst yourselves there and directly with us or just use your mobile plus months in full five one triple one four and save that number in your phone you can use that on telegram and on whatsapp now the teenager you remember the story no actually it's not that story we're going to move to another story south africa are actually the ruling party the a.n.c. which has launched its campaign for this year's general election with a message of unity and it is being seen as

a test of the group's popularity after years of scandals and divisions of the former ousted president jacob zuma with support from family to milla into. there is certainly a significant show of support at the most as might be the stage i'm in durban where the african national congress is holding its manifesto launch at least eighty five thousand people have come out to hear what the ruling party's plans are around the election and what it plans to do following that the a.n.c. of course concerned about a drop of support in recent years a lot of that to do with corruption scandals has been embroiled in as well as the resignation of president jacob zuma was in a town where the saloon is taking place is the home of zuma this is a province where he enjoys a lot of support. these community members sing outside a courtroom lousy in the city of durban there seeking justice appearing in court an african national congress councillor accused of killing another councilor from the

party it's been three months in sperm up more than was shot and killed him his family says he was targeted because of factional infighting within the party we can sort of the truth is that at home we live in fear because we don't know what's happening we can see now there are two factions in the organization. the government says forty councilors have been killed in the past seven years mainly because of power struggles and greed of a government contract so that africans a do at the polls in the coming months to vote for provincial representatives as well as a new president president at all is important for political parties the province has the second highest number of voters but it's also where the ruling a.n.c. which is riddled by disunity faces one of its biggest challenges. president jacob zuma resigned last year after a long running corruption scandal and was replaced by civil remark. but zuma

despite the allegations continues to enjoy significant support in his home of course zulu natal adding to concerns of a split within the party the a.n.c. leadership had a message of unity during the party's one hundred seventh birthday celebrations this week. we're all still here we're here with all of all of this is. silly and yes it is really easy that both of these are. from a person his first general election as president of the a.n.c. is trying to solidify his position in the party ways approved appears to be split between him and his predecessor jacob zuma so that some of the biggest regions of the a.n.c. across the country are in caves and so it's very important to understand that if your kid and his we divide it has possibility to divide the entire nation or to cause massive rifts within the a.n.c.

and of course this is the base will. close or not tell is form a stronghold of opposition the in-car to freedom party there are concerns that a lack of unity within the a.n.c. allegations of corruption and poor delivery of services could see the party lose some of its support to its rival. presidents is now addressing the crowds here talking about some of the achievements the government has made in recent years who is also expected to deal with the manifesto itself some of it outlining what the agency's plans are it says it plans to transform the economy to serve all people south africa really struggling with high levels of poverty inequality as well as unemployment at least a third of young people don't have jobs the president also talking about advancing social transformation and stepping up the fight against corruption through out

society and safeguarding what people are concerned around in terms of transparency and just how all this party will deal with an issue that has been plagued by several years now. so there was from edelman a reporting that she mentioned and we did as well we talked about jay concern. or a lot in way which is interesting given he has a longer the leader of the a.n.c. more the president but the thing is he looms large over this policy just a bit of background for you zuma resigned in twenty seventeen but remains a popular figure among some a.n.c. party supporters he came into power in two thousand and nine and will become tree for eighty years joys a lot of support from his home province of course and in the talent you had there which has a crucial vote in the national elections and also commands a lot of respect among grassroots supporters in rural areas his influence his popularity in the end say they have been seen as a threat to president obama forces leadership the party now you could say divided into two main factions the pro zuma group and the roma posek. we've got rough

imitator with us now lecture at the university of the western cape he's also written a book called rama forces turned cancer will save south africa can he. or well i do think he is just one state at that balancing act and was you not dollars i mean just prison ship was a must and when president obama plus zero in there and that week he was quite aggressive for speaking out against corruption and i think flew the week it toned down on that realizing that you just cannot go into office if it was you do not doubt given the present job you must continue to ensure the short i don't think that he's trying there is an opportunity but i gave him the great impeachment remains the a.b.c. itself and how do they manage so much i mean as least speak yet political juma continues to be one of the come patients on the a.b.c. is campaigning with the party in was will not doubt about the energies that he's a suspect in it could not a case that involves corruption at least i'm not.
