egypt's musical my stand on al-jazeera save humanity i really really not getting anywhere near it. this is al-jazeera. i'm adrian from again this is the news live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes with more protests planned over the police killing of a black man minnesota's governor fully mobilizes the national guard. the u.s. president again threatens to send troops to put an end to the protests. dying on the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic doctors improve more on their colleagues

struggle to cope with one of the world's highest infection rates. to nasa astronauts weather permitting set to launch into orbit in the 1st ever manned space flight by private companies. we begin in the u.s. state of minnesota where the death of a black man in police custody has sparked anger not only there but across the country for the 1st time in its history minnesota's governor has announced that he's fully mobilizing the national guard. i'm authorizing and talking to general jensen to fully mobilize the minnesota national guard an action that has never been taken in 164 year history of the minnesota national guard we will pull in assets as we have been doing and for those minnesotans who are wondering where are the fire trucks where are the police that are out there the situation was so broad and the

tactics were so bent on causing destruction that every single person we had mobilized again the largest in state history last evening was engaged in that. well the police officer at the center of this has been charged with george floyd's mudda but it's a little to calm the situation as john hendren reports. a curfew when a murder charge against a police officer failed to bring calm to minneapolis. the city's new curfew beginning 8 pm some protesters responded by setting buildings on fire hundreds of others continued to peacefully protest the death of a black man george floyd after his arrest by a white policeman. officer gary children who was fired shortly after floyd's arrest on monday 'd has now been

charged with his murder but it's made little difference on the city's turbulent south sun demonstrators defied the curfew and a large deployment of the national guard some took out their anger on businesses such as the department store and occasionally journalists. others lined up to challenge police who answered with tear gas that failed to control the unrest these national guard troops have been blocking roads and they've been protecting firefighters or they've been putting out the many fires you can see one of them back there but the governor says there are simply haven't been enough of them and that's why he's sending in more a 1000 more to join the 500 already in minneapolis in nearby st paul this is the largest civilian deployment in minnesota history that we have out there today and quite candidly right now we do not have the numbers we cannot arrest people when we're trying to hold ground because of the sheer size the dynamics and the want violence that's coming out there but as you see there's already shots being fired

back at our people. these arson that is taking place puts many people at risk are firefighters are specifically and very open. target from coast to coast protests in violence have spread to more u.s. cities in washington the white house was briefly on lockdown as crowds fought with police in the capital. and in atlanta georgia this c.n.n. news channel's headquarters came under attack police cars were also targeted prompting a furious response from atlanta's mayor you are just praising our city you are disgracing the life of george lloyd in every other person who has been killed in this country crowds in los angeles chanted i can't breathe some of george floyd's final words as his neck was pinned to the ground. and back in minneapolis his excessive days in 1000 ivanka go on john hendren al jazeera

minneapolis we have 3 correspondents following the tense developments across the united states natasha good name is standing by for us in chicago kimberly how good is at the white house but 1st let's go to what allison. minneapolis where are you what's happening. right now i am off westlake street i am actually standing right near a burned down u.s. bank building the a.t.m.'s have been i'm completely trashed and dismantled i'm actually looking right now at the old sears and roebuck building which is home to the midtown global market which is a mixed use base of businesses restaurants some shops and the governor hennepin county government services also an apartment building it's boarded up completely there are people outside your along west lake street cleaning

up from the debris last night from looting and some of the fires so i'm i'm just right in the heart of some of the some of the worst damage that the city has sustained only you know what out of a community meeting where where residents who have pretty scared life now a deciding and more to do to keep the community safe. that's right i was just in powder horn park which is just a couple blocks from here it's a community park where every may have been made a celebration we weren't able to have that this year obviously because of the pandemic people gathered there this afternoon hour this morning and this afternoon to come up with a strategy just in case the violence goes over into the neighborhood and i talked to a family i talked to people that have lived in that neither a phone for decades and they feel very very on edge they feel you know when i asked them about the national guard presence face said that you know they don't really complicate think belt when we wondered where they have them and some prior times

and felt right you know i don't like they should have been here and that no one can question him and. a lot of anger and a lot of a lot of tension i thought i was many thanks to that aslan our other in minneapolis just want to make you aware of the fact that the general when he is giving a press briefing at the moment which we'll listen in for a few moments he's been saying that justice will be served in the georgia floyd our case but cisneros federal law in that regard it is a federal crime to cross state lines or to use interstate facilities to incite or participate in violent rioting and we will enforce those laws thank you ok that was a obviously we called the tail end of that before we joined the attorney general he had been saying that outside radicals but agitates has been taking over the

protests more on that in just a few moments but u.s. president donald trump has been speaking in the last hour about the protests and he's again threatened to deploy the military. we can have our military there very quickly. got a. lot of. people. out of. the. great. president trump has been warning protestors of the confronted with quote all menace weapons in a series of tweets earlier today trump said that the protesters at the white house on friday were a big crowd professionally organized but that nobody came close to breaching the fence if they had he said they would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs or most all of us weapons i've ever seen that's when people would have been really badly hurt at least he said many secret service agents are just waiting for action

live out of the white house a correspondent kelly how good is the what are we to make of william saying that outside radicals and agitators the taking over these protests and you've got the president there claiming that the anti for and radical left bad people. well. this is certainly something that's being discussed in the united states right now there are observations being made by ordinary americans as i went to a mcdonalds outside the white house to pick up my morning coffee i heard ordinary americans discussing this concern in fact they were african-american women about my age who felt that they were worried that the civil rights causes that they and previous generations worked so hard for maybe being hijacked by people that don't

share the same passion for the same end state and maybe taking advantage of the situation we often see this and. whether it's the right or the left there is always an element. in all societies that seems to take advantage of this situation the problem we're seeing right now is that our leaders particularly president trump some would argue our 2 adding fuel to the fire and so by finger pointing by blaming by name calling this just makes people go to those opposite corners even more and that is the concern that many have about some of the president's tweets right and when as a result this is certainly something. some sort of. a when the president says threatens to send in the military can he do that. he can't and i'm glad that focused question allows me to get to the point of posse

come a tavis which is an $878.00 law in the united states that essentially says that the military cannot be used to enforce domestic policies against american citizens that is a real cornerstone foundation of american society one that many americans believe makes them distinct so the us president says these things to inflame to build on that point i was making earlier and we should also point out you know we've just come after one very violent night here outside the white house in terms of the potential for violence being even greater we saw which we don't often see the optics of this silhouette of the white house and then the secret service with riot gear on the concern is that that could happen again for a 2nd night because the u.s. president has tweeted almost rallying his supporters to have questioning whether this will be magen night or a counter protest many people say this is

a rallying cry and the concern is and now we see the secret service in a heightened state yet again anticipating there could be another night of violence i can tell you there are riot shields at the ready there are heavily armed secret service in places that we don't normally see them in anticipation that there could be another night of violence and the concern in all of this is that the president has the opportunity to quell this but as you've heard from the president's statements whether it be tweets whether it be the finger pointing is he left the white house in the south lawn he didn't do that now we also have this sort of doubling down from the trumpet ministration the form of the attorney general william barr saying that this is something a process that's being hijacked i can only tell you what i'm hearing on the ground as a reporter it's something that's being widely discussed often these things take after action to find out if it's true but it's certainly a talking point in american society right now a white house correspondent kimberly good reporting live from washington complete many thanks to. bring in officers matushka name monitoring developments from

chicago you have the attorney general there saying that outside radicals and agitators were taking of a prophet. protests atlanta is. calling out some of the behavior that we've seen is what it is but is that the feeling across the country that these these protests are being hijacked. there's definitely a distinction being made between this understanding and desire by protesters for peaceful expressions of anger and frustration over how the police across the country deal with not only african-americans but communities of color and certainly chicago the chicago police department has its own challenging history with the police department and communities of color one that the superintendent of police said only yesterday that the department continues to try to improve that's done in

the way of building community policing and building ties with the community now in chicago there is another protest expected this afternoon overnight more than 100 people were arrested a dozen police officers were injured dozens flawed cars damaged mayor lori lightfoot she is the city's 1st female african-american mayor said that she understands that this is a moment. pain that is an earth generations of pain and anger among black folks and communities of color around their experiences of policing in america however she is imploring protesters to remain peaceful she's also reminding people that we are in the midst of a pandemic 1000 cases in chicago are being pretty stubbornly high she is asking protesters to wear masks and to social distance the mayor is also. taking

aim at president donald trump she says that he is exacerbating this nationwide this collective anger and frustration over the death of george slow floyd by quote inciting violence had a particularly choice rebuke for the president the day before after he tweeted that once the looting starts the shooting starts that's a direct quote that is a racially tinge comment that dates back to a comment a miami police chief made during the civil rights movement in the late 1960 s. president trouble later backtracked and said he was unaware of the history of the comet's. his goal is to polarize to destabilize local government and inflame racist urges and we can absolutely not let him prevail. and i will code what i really want to say to donald trump it's 2 words it begins with f. and it ends with you. i will not remain silent while this man

cynically tries to turn this incredibly painful moment into one for his own political gain. as we wait to see what protests will break on saturday not only here in chicago but in minneapolis new york and cities around the country. the one thing that's worth mentioning is that there are soldiers at american military bases 3 of them who have been told to be on standby to deploy within 4 hours i understand that the president of course cannot make that call it has to be done at the state level but to give you an idea of the historical context this hasn't happened since the l.a. riots in 1902. i was there was an especially good named reporting live from chicago natasha many thanks indeed. muhammad is professor of history of race and public

policy at harvard kennedy school he says that what we're witnessing a systemic racism the black lives matter movement and broader racial justice movements that had been unfolding since about 2 $1012.00 and picked up another notch moved into another year in 2014 after the deaths of michael brown and ferguson the zuri and eric garner in staten island new york is unfinished business that work was was never result and in fact when attorney general jeff sessions donald trump's 1st u.s. attorney general came into office he canceled a couple of consent decrees that had been worked out to try to fix police agencies in the united states of america and sent a powerful signal that whatever it happened before was no longer going to happen under donald trump's watch and so now we're seeing the continued challenge of structural racism in american policing and people have run out of options when it

comes to how to weigh their voices how to communicate the one thing that i think is really important in this moment is to remember when george clooney was dying on the street with a show opens in his neck everyone who stood there in that same community asked politely there was no violence there were no no molotov cocktails they spoke to those close officers very clearly and say it's stop what you're doing you're killing him and so we have to really think about what does it mean to try to do something the right way the lawful way the respectable way and it doesn't work. there with the news on for most serious still to come on the program we'll tell you how a new security law could mean disaster for hong kong's economy. at a battle of the border the killing of an army officer creates tension between ethiopia and sudan.

coronavirus cases continued to rise in latin america brazil now has the 5th highest number of deaths in the world overtaking spain chile has registered cases more than the more cases than china but almost 95000 and colombia has experienced its highest death toll in a single day meanwhile mexico's government plans to ease lockdown restrictions despite high numbers of infections that live now to colombia's capital of syria's assad m.p.'s he is that no doubt about it a little doubt. that a lot of america now the epicenter of this pandemic. yes that is the case adrian there's no doubt that the region as a whole is going through a very critical moment of this pandemic as you were saying in your introductions we see the numbers going up every day record numbers in many different countries of

the region both the deaths and confirmed cases with the number of confirmed cases probably much higher in many of these countries that since there hasn't been the possibility to do widespread testing that's definitely the case in brazil which remains the epicenter of the pandemic in latin america as you were saying there. is now past the spain one of the worst hit countries in europe to become the 5th country in the world with the highest number of deaths related to cope with 19 but the government there as indeed admitting that there are at least 10000 more cases of people who have died in the past month than nobody has been able to test that there the minister of health spoke earlier today the minister of health of brazil

to say that there's no way to know when that country will reach the peak and so they can expect that at least weeks more weeks of these numbers staying at the level where they are if not getting even worse in a country where as we've reported many times the president has actually been fighting against the members of his own government and local governors against the restrictions that have been put in place in a populous state like pollo or rio de janeiro colombe as you were saying also seeing a spike in the number of cases here they think that we are at least. 3 weeks away from reaching that peak but the president has been also the same as in mexico calling for an easing of the restrictions that will begin next week next week on monday and that has created

a lot of controversy with local out tory these mayors of this cities that have been worst hit in this country like for example here. that's because formally the lockdown will continue for the entire month of june but the president here has announced $43.00 different the exceptions to that lockdown which means that pretty much everybody will be able to go back to work and malls will be able to reopen hairdressers for example next week could be open but the mayor of bogota another main cities that have instead this sided that at least for another 2 weeks restrictions need to remain in place and the government now is said that the local mayors will be able to impose those restrictions if they feel that it's too early for example here. to reopen and the truth is that we've seen an increase in the number of people on the streets the traffic is also back and the numbers are going

up so that's very worrisome in cheadle it. is now a country that has passed in the number of cases china where all this started in the government there is very worried by the fact that they're entering winter months so there's see an increase there in respect to tory illness is that which could make this situation even worse on the some of the m.p.'s here reporting live from colombia's capital bogota something many thanks indeed doctors nurses in peru say that hospitals that can't cope with a rising number of coronavirus and sections of them are demanding more government help 141000 infections been reported. more than $4000.00 deaths including among doctors branco gupta reports. these doctors were on the frontline of the fight against the corner virus into their colleagues are now mourning their deaths. a

black ribbon hung on the facade of the medical college in lima a reminder of the price paid by d's health workers battling the operate in the 2nd hardest hit country in latin america there are more there are 4 bull behind me all the 36 doctors who have lost their lives until today and represent the most painful image right in front of this location we have 1300 medical doctors who are ill and of which $23.00 are seriously ill and are in intensive care units that is the reality for doctors in peru. they say hospitals are overwhelmed with the rising number of cases. many are dying at home. and caruso largest have a tree limb are elements among freshly dug graves. and. never last 2 brothers in a month but i'm glad they're not suffering any more because of the pain that they

went through. for the survivors it's a different kind of struggle. anxious to elaters that a hospital though are struggling to get proper care for their infected family members and women they told me that my mother was entering critical care and there are no i.c.u. beds they say there are no beds groovy and $71.00 of the world's longest nationwide lockdown since march which is not due to be lifted until the end of next month. yet the virus continues to spread lockdowns and social distancing are difficult in a country where more than 20 percent live in poverty and 7 out of 10 workers depend on a daily wage millions still have access to water but that that what we don't even have enough water to wash our hands or our things and if we don't have water what are we going to wash ourselves with the. dog. both

produced. and pushed underfunded and understaffed hospitals to breaking point and that the battle against the fire will be loath. to get more government. on. the european union has appealed to the u.s. president to reconsider his decision to cut ties with the world health organization over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic it's released a statement saying that the global threat is an opportunity for and harvest cooperation and common solutions washington is consistently the largest contributor to raising 419000000 dollars last year that's about 22 percent of the u.n. organizations total budget its director general said this week that the impact of the loss of funds is being reviewed at other partners are being asked to fill any funding gaps to ensure that work continues uninterrupted uninterrupted china's

president xi jinping has already pledged $2000000000.00 over the next 2 years to help other countries respond to the impact of the pandemic. is a director of columbia's columbia university's melman school of public health she says that the white house decision to pull funding could not have come at a worse time. the loss of u.s. funding will potentially have catastrophic effects on. itself and on its function and stroll in many countries around the world i can tell you that through i care the global center that i direct here as can be universally i can see. in a very palpable way their impact and all of that day in day out in working together with many of the poorest countries around the world. and its role is not just not just now when we have a pandemic but each one has a consistent role in helping countries to contain other infectious diseases like

tumour closes a chain the malaria call you as well as in helping these countries have in place the systems to prevent a resurgence of of many of the infectious diseases that are very prominent in parts of the world this is about the worst time that this could have happened because obviously there's a need to fill that gap it's almost one 5th of the funding of the child and that time is now for other countries that have the resources to be able to attempt to fill this gap but of course we know that many of the countries european countries or asian countries or latin american countries that are capable of increasing their contributions that your child are at this moment in time tackling their on call that 19 epidemics and so the timing is this is very difficult i think that we need to go to these countries and highlight the importance of getting more

funding at this point in time as well as also probably the future will also need to go to foundations and philanthropists and try to garner as much support as it can. iran has dismissed a move by the us to end sanction waivers for countries that remain in the nuclear deal as desperate as it says the decision is in response to oil shipments to venezuela as well as significant advancements in iran's nuclear industry the waivers allowed companies to work on converting iran's iraq heavy water reactor to provide enriched uranium for a tear on research reactor and to transfer used fuel rules come out of kill at least 15 people and became a fast so others wounded or missing in the room province following the attack on a convoy that was transporting traders armed groups linked to al qaida and eisel were blamed for similar previous attacks. weather update next.

that there are almost 8000 new cases of covered every day still quite high if some measures are going to be eased they say that would require greater social distancing measures than exist at the moment and in the words of a former chief scientific adviser david king if the can if the pandemic was just arriving with the conditions of infection that we see now a lockdown would be imposed so it's an interesting way of looking at it but they're warning that the conditions mean that if you want to start opening schools getting businesses opening again and so are more people at work you're actually going to have to get tougher some people expect that to be in the form of making people wear masks and the like it's unclear whether that will happen but there's certainly a lively debate here in the u.k. a coronavirus cases in the u.k. may be trending downwards but charities say that they're seeing a sharp rise in the number of people needing their services some parents can't afford nappies for babies and people are going days without food. and sleep reports

a push on for the u.k. to be more positive with the summer here and virus cases falling but for many people there's far less cause for optimism the thing is really jarring about all this other newspaper headlines this say that britain is about to go back to work and things are going back to normal well that may be true for many people but clearly there is now a whole section of the community in this country which could barely cope before coronavirus and now is genuinely in suffering so i hear it or actually hayley who set this place up well before the virus changed everything is now running at least 700 delivers a week and every week it increases she's worried about what happens when the government announces things have gone back to normal the local businesses the small businesses those at them fail at all of such ups for them it isn't going to be back to normal safe for us to demand is going to stay like this for a lot longer elderly and frankly 3 or 4 of them take many months ago policy advisers in london identified

explores who home call because many of these exports may be china our economic countries which is where the u.s. have also in both actually raw so i think. it's clear there will be some sanctions but i think the people's will a lot of pressure from the american business community establishing hong kong to nummi this action which may affect those companies then the market national here saddam's foreign ministry has summoned ethiopia's representatives following the death of a certain nice army captain who died in an attack near the border between the 2 countries sudan says that both sides have been fighting over the past 3 days from a serious hit morgan in khartoum. it looks like at the moment the situation has turned from being a military confrontation on the ground between sudanese anything forces to a diplomatic path being taken by the sudanese government we've seen the sudanese

for ministry of foreign affairs some in the shower if you're in charge or to to to condemn the violence that happened on may 26th and may 28th now we've heard from the military spokesperson yesterday that one army officer was killed and several others were wounded and that civilians were also wounded in the clashes between ethiopian militias which they say were backed by the if you're a military and that they basically crossed into sudanese soil into sudanese territories and attacked stations that were manned by the sudanese military so it looks like at the moment the situation is turning from a military confrontation to a diplomatic conference confrontation but this is not the 1st time that such clashes are happening we've seen this happening in february and in march and in april we've seen the 2 sides meeting we've seen the head of the chief of staff of the military and the chief of staff of sudanese military meeting here in her tomb

to talk about the issue of border security now the ministry of foreign affairs is saying that they are trying to organize a 2nd meeting to make sure that these borders are demarcated to avoid such kind of violent confrontation between the 2 sides a bomb in afghanistan's capital has killed a journalist and the driver of a minivan which was carrying employees from a private television channel based in kabul at least 15 others were injured in the blast. plagues of locusts and devastating large parts of india and pakistan billions of dollars worth of crops have been damaged prompting fears of food shortages and as with poor on a report stuff from new delhi. crawling across thousands of kilometers and flying through the air billions of locusts have swarms large swathes of agricultural land in pakistan and india devouring any vegetation in their path i have lost fruits one thousands of dollars spent all my life growing these trees but

all these swarms have destroyed. the un because pakistan bellew's more than $4000000000.00 worth of winter and summer crops. the government is using planes to spray pesticide we have now in one year graph we are looking for 6 more and i'm sure we'll be able to pick. the locust which will be coming from iran as well as from moscow and in turn is coming from africa while locust plague is not news scientists say climate change is making them worse they say this infestation is driven by unusually warm weather and heavy rains in the arabian peninsula last year creating the ideal breeding ground. locusts move in swarms of up to $50000000.00 each swarm can travel 200 kilometers a day each as much food as $35000.00 people and lay $1000.00 eggs per square meter . in india have blanketed western and central states during

a heatwave higher temperatures help the insects spread more rapidly as well as plain pesticide local councils from the state of matthew but there is a playing loud music from speakers mounted on vehicles in an effort to drive the locusts away i do think that if they stay here for more than 8 days they'll start laying eggs and if they start laying eggs it would be very dangerous for us with the range for bands to play in the villages to make noise to try and scare the locusts away. experts warned that india's food supplies are also at risk if the invasion isn't controlled before the end of june that's when the monsoon is due to arrive in northern india and locusts mature and breed elizabeth broad of al-jazeera new delhi now it's a sign of things to come which is sure to alarm all journalists dozens of news producers who oversee web sites for microsoft are to be replaced by machines managers of the software company have decided to switch to artificial intelligence to select and edit news media reports in seattle where the company is based so that

around 15 years producers in both the u.s. and britain won't have their contracts renewed microsoft says the decision isn't related to the pandemic virus silva is a director at the reuters institute for the study of journalism at oxford university she says that artificial intelligence could only be as good as the code behind it is the danger that depending on who writes the code. what story what causes it uses news stories so there is. news that has been deliberately created to be false and mrs may not take news appears on the page because the human eye and we've seen with them companies like facebook and twitter that when they haven't had originally they tried to ruin what mason the trouble with this a.r.e and it's not it's not unusual platform it's

airy it's written by code and the code is written by human beings so whoever is writing the codes has their own biases and their own prejudices so what what does the ai decide it's an important new story is it something that would only appeal to the kind of person who was there at the code always a broad enough to be was that just ahead on the getting set for launch a source arrived at the kennedy space center ahead of the historic mission. rewind i can bring your people back to life i'm sorry what date on the best of al-jazeera is documentaries in living how was the book the last. like and the other student green one continues with calls about your fear and hope this was my return to kosovo and the little village of but cover one decade on i've come back to find

out what happened to those hopes and dreams we want on al-jazeera. in the case to have for us. still has the potential to be biased in a number of different ways there are too many opportunities for the computer to get wrong who's checking those offices who commit those data entry is wrong to be saying that you're something is wrong to. kill of becoming a suspect before the actual crime and in-depth examination and to preventative policing pre-crime on al-jazeera.

well again we're around 30 minutes now away from the launch of an historic mission to the its national space station astronauts bob behnken and doug hurley are making their final checks the joint venture between space x. and nasa will be the 1st manned space flight to blast off from u.s. soil in daily a decade this is the 2nd attempt this week barely a launch was called off due to bad weather let's bring in justin casper who is an astrophysicist at the university of michigan and works with nasa justin great to have you with us of course this launch like the one earlier this week also weather dependent it could be scrubbed right at the last minute dumb question to start why is the launch of such a powerful machine so dependent upon the weather when something like a jumbo jet with hundreds of people aboard takes off in a thunderstorm every day. well that's a great question you know as the rocket lifts off it's carrying millions of pounds of rocket fuel onboard you really don't want that to be struck by lightning and

even if the clouds the sky looks very clear there could still be a potential for a landing strikes and one other thing is just wind sheer ice the wings of these rockets just aren't able to withstand that seem when their plane can they're very late weighted in order to make it up into space so we do have to be careful about the weather especially when there are humans but ok if this thing gets off the launch pad in 30 minutes but something goes wrong one it's trying to catch up with the international space station. how how it how much trouble the astronauts on board. that's one of the amazing things about this launch and this dragon a ship you know i you know i was one of those kids watching columbia challenger and you know we know how unsafe the space shuttle could be as of about 10 minutes ago before the end fueling the dragon they activated emergency escape system there are

tiny but powerful rockets right up there in the capsule with the astronauts if anything goes wrong even if there were an explosion as they were fueling or if they were in flight taking off sensors would automatically detach the capsule and they would fly away so quickly they could actually outrun an explosion and bring them the c.v. and so that's just an incredible new capability that any phase in the launch they have a safe way to escape and return to ground if all goes well and it catches up in talks with the international space station it will be a fantastic achievement for a long musk and space x. what it. so you are an incredible one right and it's amazing to think that the rocket that's getting ready to launch them our 1st flew for the 1st time almost exactly 10 years ago so how incredible that a company is that able to develop and fly in a rocket in that 5 humans on the same rocket in less than

a decade but other companies are hot on the heels of space x. right now aren't they yes that's right boeing has the starliner spacecraft which they're also preparing for you know demonstration of human in the next year so that's really exciting to see potentially 2 companies with the capability of flying humans in the space to the space station in under a year all right justin great to talk to you many thanks to you for being with us we'll look for that launch in less than 30 minutes now thank you my pleasure a popular landmark is reopening it it's only the leaning tower of pisa with its stunning views of tuscany as among monuments museums back in business after 3 months of lockdown the reopening coincides with a national holiday weekend its hopes to boost morale after italian suffered one of the worst outbreaks in the coronavirus pandemic. thanks for being with us
