12:19 pm
of in just poorest states this option is that these are bodies of people who died of colvin and because of the rising cost of cremation and the general feel of the virus this is how people are getting rid of dead bodies this really underscores 2 things that we've been talking about one the massive undercount both in terms of the death toll and also the caseload and secondly in rural india you know the combination of poverty a threadbare medical infrastructure and lack of literacy lack of know how this is these are places where you can catch a covert test more you're positive and isolate these are not places where you have you know high quality and 95 mosques or you know good facilities to sanitize and the combination of all of this has really allowed the virus to run rampant in rural india the saturdays the final day of registration for candidates hoping to succeed

current constitution was written in 1912 by the former military dictatorship and millions of tunes her body as it will do the lead from its conception more importantly it sets the ground rules for this country's economic political and social system which a bathroom darkly now believes must retain. the constitution closer creates chillies exceptionally free market model it has allowed the economy to grow but over time a tiny minority has accumulated enormous wealth and power. leaving the majority unprotected in terms of decent health care education and pensions income inequality is the worst amongst o.e.c.d. members break any moral back before feel that we need a new social contract in which the state guarantee to social rights we me we must update our democracy institutions which means for distributed power democratically we may be leading the charge for the demands much of the world is making. progress
12:24 pm
. chile's new constitution will be the world's 1st region with gender parity and 17 of the 155 delegates will represent the country's indigenous people but there are serious concerns that the electoral system will unfairly favor the widely discredited political parties over independent candidates like criminal lawyer. but via the basis of power today is carried out by a handful of logic anomic groups that in practice decide not only the way the state is that minister but define how our society is structured. others who worry. that reforms may go too far be too radical or create false expectations. as things stand the future stability of chile will rest on the shoulders of those who have to strike

a very difficult and delicate balance you see in human al-jazeera centrality china has successfully landed a spacecraft on mars that follows the u.s. in the soviet union to become the 3rd country to have a rover touchdown on the red planet 6 will the jurong is named after the god of fire and the chinese with ology is china's most ambitious space mission so far and jointly horner is professor of astrophysics at the university of southern queensland institute for advance engineering and space sciences he says such missions don't just excite scientists and spy people. person you will be doing is checking that everything's ok that comes from the cut down 2nd sound of their total number not top of the one that it's not there of and they'll map out the area and they'll make sure they know exactly where they are out of the next few days so get ready for the rather to roll down around off the land and start exploring if all goes well within a few days itself the out on the surface actually taking measurements driving around the excess miles it's simply the truth that they can do that so there's
12:26 pm
a lot of things that's very similar in a way to the ingenuity helicopter that the americans have that part of it is simply proving that you've got a hostage to do this to prepare for future missions but on top of that he's going to do with huge amount of science it's going to look at the geology of the area look for evidence of past water current water still in the interior of mars or got it really on bush's program of science particularly accept for the 1st time that they're being smart that kind of trying to do everything all at once it inspires people and that's always something that much affects countries that do things like this it develops new technology and that also is really useful that new technology that trickles down into everyday life but in the long term china's looking in a very similar way to the u.s. of sending people out into space that landing people on the moon and then further into the future sending people to mars and sending people out into the solar system as a whole and so this is one step along that route such as scientists it's really exciting because of the things we can learn but i think it's a cycle it's also really cool because it's

crowds during uprisings and demonstrations this art installation playfully explores this idea but scientists say they have found enough evidence to confirm that there's more interaction between birds and humans than we might expect. i think that all. of the. research or how the slab of corn found that birds generally copy sounds of other animals but also human sounds especially when these are unusual possibly frightening them and what we believe and that is not proven but rather believe is that in many of those species the bigger the repertoire the more attractive these males are i mean that sense if you're going to show off with some really strange sounds in your repertoire you may become really attractive although well we need still need to prove that with some cool slogans about. no justice no peace exactly so you get the particular type of female that is interested in that. scientists also found that bird still saying these unusual songs long after they
