old is now conscious and no longer on life support but still in intensive care no one has claimed responsibility for the attack beijing says remnants of an out of control section of china's biggest rocket have landed in the indian ocean it broke up on reentry into the atmosphere the long march 5 rocket was launched 10 days ago carrying part of the country's 1st permanent space station it tends days of speculation over where the debris would land the u.s. space agency nasa criticized the uncontrolled free entry it said china is failing to meet responsible standards regarding space debris. and is a senior research fellow at the university of southern queensland's institute for advanced engineering and space sciences he says china is the only country that still allows the uncontrolled reentry of space junk. large spaces can reach the
8:29 am
ground but it doesn't happen too often and certainly not really in populated areas today the main place that entered the atmosphere was about 20 tons in 30 meters long so that was certainly the single piece that entered the atmosphere once it entered the atmosphere it was broken up into many smaller pieces previously along much 5 b. is being reported to have dropped a piece that was 12 meters long so you could imagine if there were people around that it would be dangerous but again landed in the ocean and that's where most of the space debris doesn't back down and so this chinese long is one of the 1st rockets and it's going to the 2nd of its type it's been launched whereby the main stage of the rockets at a very large component actually went all through this means it's orbiting around the earth and that's what we've been tracking for the previous few days normally these rockets would be disposed of in a manner that means they drop into the ocean saley quickly after the launch and don't go into an uncontrolled orbit like this one with a set up they've got they can put more mass into orbit so so their actual space
8:30 am
station launching their i would get more of that into orbit for a lesser cost both in mass and dollars and the result is of course that we have this one piece left over after that for example people x. basics are of course really landing everything so they can reuse it and that seems to be more like the international and global trends that's happening this single use is not really seen anywhere else outside of china so i hopefully won't be continuing in this line. let's take a look at the headlines down there's been more violence in occupied east jerusalem with israeli forces cracking down on palestinian protesters for a 2nd day the palestinian red crescent says at least 90 people were injured when police trying to claim a fence gathering sacred on to ramadan or a force that has more from occupied east jerusalem. the israeli security forces
