for those who managed to cross the border, say it's not because they have improved back home. they say to grass continue to be targeted because of their lives. and many properties are being reported and becomes taken refuge conditions here. last time i vinny there, richard branson's rocket, our plane reaches the edge of space and takes a step towards commercial space tourism. ah, either this is ellen or alive from coming up. the tv on the anniversary and both the vina,

another $900.00 victims of tripling the mascot buried as the country monks 26 years . the genocide wildfires for people to see their homes in the west of the united states. as a heat waves bring their rent or temperatures also to sell, kidnaps, want to school and meet the student to determine to fear with education, despite the risks involved. ah, richard branson has officially reached the edge of space fulfilling a lifelong dream and making a dramatic step forward for space tourism branson and 5 others travelled aboard his company. virgin galactic winged rocket ship for a few minutes. the crew was weightless. the ship's wings then folded in and the plain blinded bank. the earth for a runway landing speaking from space spreads and said he can't wait for others to

have the experience of beautiful stay for everybody. crating such suitable beautiful rob reynolds as live at the virgin galactic spaceport in sierra county, new mexico and rob this bailey went off without a hitch. kim, it really did everything went flawlessly from the take off of the the mother ship eve with unity strapped to its fuselage to the separation, which is always a very tricky part in this kind of an operation. technically tricky. and then the firing of the rockets on the unity space plane that brought richard branson and

company up to the edge of space earning richard branson, his astronaut swings, and then the plane came gliding in for a perfect landing. it is now being towed over through another area. so presumably all of the passengers are now off and rich with richard branson, describing this as you just heard kim as the experience of a lifetime. that's really say something for a person who built a $1000000000.00 business empire. i had so many different sorts of business enterprises of flu balloons, across the atlantic in the pacific. set speed records for various types of watercraft and things of that nature. a real daredevil. so for this to be the crown experience of his life that, that says a lot and must have been really something to be up there or waiting for now, is for branson to hold

a press conference. a few moments ago the performer college was on stage playing his new single and warming up the crowd for the press conference to come. branson had said that you will have some sort of a surprise to announce during the press conference. we don't know what that is, but given that branson is quite the showman, no doubt it will be something quite interesting. kim and rob, something we haven't mentioned this. our. yes is this sort of billionaire ra i will re between richard branson. jeff pays off and ill on mosque all looking to go into space. obviously, branson was the 1st one to make it may well be others and not in the too distant future. yes, in fact, the jeff bezos, amazon's founder and repeatedly the richest man in the world will on july 20th

go into space aboard his blue origin capsule in a more traditional way of a flying, a rocket ship that will go straight up into space. and then the capsule will detach from that and, and base us will earn his astronauts wings, perhaps not by coincidence. the date, chosen the 20th of july is the 52nd anniversary of the day that that man, human beings 1st set foot on the moon back in 1969. so yeah, a battle of the billionaires. a battle of bucks in a battle of egos, no doubt whatsoever about that as the branson de those and musk rivalry will continue. we don't know exactly what you on mosque has up his sleeve. if he's going to have to some i'll best branson and base those. i don't,

i don't know what that would be. maybe you know the trip to the moon on dr. wings, but we'll see. well, if this rivalry means change slides for all of us to space and they can fight on, doesn't bother me. hi, thank you very much. time for your time reynolds. they speak to leo and right here is a space and lift. he joined us from the se in the south front. thank you for your time . how important a day was this for space exploration for, i guess, encouraging the imagination about space travel? well this was a very, very big day for richard brown. some really and as rob was saying, it really could not have gone any smoother. it's a triumph for him and gives an enormous boost to public confidence in his space enterprise. the next big question and perhaps the surprise that he's

promised to spring on us later today. the next big thing may be an announcement that they're opening up yet again, ticket sales for headspace blame. they close them down after the tragic loss of a vehicle and the death of a crew members back in 2014. so there is every possibility that later today brown will announce that he's opening it up again. and it'll be interesting to see how many tickets he's willing to sell. we do have an official height. the space plane reached 85.9536 kilometers. so just short of 86 kilometers below what the international astronomical association aeronautical federation and call outer space. but certainly well within what to tourist, i think would be happy to enjoy what we're actually seeing now. layer as we speak

to is the live pictures of richard branson being shocked by the media. of course, i mean that's all very much a part of this is is the p all the marketing. all that you're 17 years for richard branson in the making. he wanted to have this done or have commercial space flights, you know, operating by 2007. i look assuming that how much work is there justin to get to this point that we're at now for virgin collect. well, there's still a bit of work to be don't, and that's what i'm not certain, but he'll announce more sales of tickets today because there is more work to be done. this was still part of their development process. there are 2 more flight tests that must take place before they can start flying real commercial space tourists. and they'll have to take some downtime as well. because the mother craft,

the eve mother craft that carried as the space plane to high altitude. that's actually a very old aircraft now, and they're going to have to put it into long term maintenance over the winter months before they can start to finish off their flight test program. and branson hopes start flying tourists next year. there's talk about this being a sort of pre cursor to an industrial revolution in space, and i don't just mean branson slot. i mean the competition with mosque and bays off . i mean, this talk of an industrial revolution in space having to mine resources out in space. i mean, is that, is that something that you know, a real possibility or, or is that just sy fi fantasy or perhaps to stop here is the better word? well, i stood out in the wall have the desert almost per 2 years ago when a man called bryan binnie was experimenting with

a rocket plane that would take off from the desert. brian ended up working for basically richard branson. he ended up flying to space. the earlier prototype version of the ship we saw today. so it's taken decades to get from the dreams that people had of this sort of thing to the reality of today. and the same is going to happen with the exploitation of space resources. there is certainly out there the opportunity for us to start looking for rare elements that we currently strip mine here on earth that are readily available and asteroids, for instance, there are, there are certain isotopes on the surface of the moon that could be adapted for nuclear fusion here on earth, there's so much in the way of resources out there in space. and it will take ingenuity and persistence on

a scale. even greater than richard branson to realize that rate. as he said, they got to just under 86 kilometers above the. i'm not sure if this is the question you can answer, but i'm going to ask anyway, richard branson is a week away from turning 71 years old. is space flight hard on the body i made is that, you know, is that, is that a factor here and the how do you prepare for a flight like this? well, bronson is a pretty healthy 71 year old. i mean, he's 71. i would say going on $51.00. so he's quite quite the candidate for space travel stark, have been older astronauts. so he's not by any means the oldest person to fly in space. and i think that this is a particularly branch branson's method is interesting because of course, most of the distance is traveled in irregular aircraft. they're carried under wing

by the mother craft, which takes them all to 15 kilometers. so much of hard lifting is actually done, inconsiderable comfort. whereas if you want to go with the bees are route you're starting, you know, rocket from the ground up. and so the right is definitely more stressful on the human body. no question about that. all right, hey, thank you very much for your time, leo and right there. space analyst as joining us from last, se, thousands of people in bosnia and herzegovina have pause to on a victims of the 995 stripper needs in africa. as part of the memorial to mark the 26th anniversary of the genocide, the remains of 19 newly identified victims were buried. it was the worst mass murdered in europe since the 2nd world war. 7 forces killed more than 8000 people. mostly, most men and boys, 20000 civilians were also expelled from the area around her bonita character him

savage has more from the memorial interpret 26 years later, 19 victims of the 7th genocide have found their it'll be the youngest. among them was just 16 years old when he was killed and the oldest had 63 years. after the memorial, there is still a community that lives in reverence and some of the challenges they face. one of the challenges they face and they emphasize on is the genocide denial. and that was the theme of the collaboration. the genocide, denial has the sub, the genocide, denial is the lay of the latest or the last stage of genocide. and it can indicate on other future suffering. that is why this issue is really important for the victims. bosnia and herzegovina doesn't have a law that forbids genocide denial. because the bosnian serbs have the power of you

know, in the parliament and they are using that power to block block, bringing that law into power. on the other hand, the international community has tools in the office of the high representative to bring that law into power regardless of the parliament and the veto in the parliament. there are some indications that the current high representative length and in school who is leaving office at the end of this month might in the next days or weeks bring the flow into power. and in a way to bring a legacy to his tenure as the, as the high representative of international community, in bosnia, italy and england will face off in the final of the euro. 2020 football championship of london's wembley stadium in just a few hours. this is the 1st final for the england men's team in europe's top football tournament, hoping to defeat italy who last lifted the trophy in 1968 at a reigning standing by for us at rome. the 1st is going to pull brandon, who is at wembley stadium. where as i said,

that file is being held poor. what's the atmosphere like there? how england fans feeling the boisterous confidence as well? i think even though some of the data crunches putting on chances of victory tonight that only around 53 percent, it's a very, very tight game that's going to be we've got the best attacking team in the amount of england. again, for me being the best i can figure out who are the best defensive to consider one goal during the matches the to lead up to the final ok. so from the 45 minutes ago from already started to stream into the stadium of my shoulder. all of them have to be negative. sure. negative corona virus test on the stadium itself and 75 percent pool because of the code that restrictions which is placed in the u. k. only around $7000.00 italy found will be a 1000 of them, brought direct from italy in

a special, almost 10 metrically sealed bubble. come to be attending the game. and i'm taken straight back with. i'll have to call and the rest of those italian funds are actually from here in the you carry for the extract italian. i'm looking at the match itself. the expectation is for a very tight game and it's really as the experience you look it up back to telling you that captain 37 years old versus much younger england. same. most of them in the mid $22.00 teams have shown themselves to be really the match for anything that they've come up against so far on the expectation for the water country. well, i'll show you the front page of the sunday time say it was pretty much some the captain hurricane georges flags across the front of the crease because it's unfolded. but yeah, the expectation in the water comes here as well. enormous the framing is basically if, if, if it isn't time, then frankly when it, they've had home advantage for most of the, not just, they've got this great water plant. i'm frankly,

to have made it through for the final time with those advantages. that really sure being on time. and paul, if you don't mind passing onto the teams that i want to nice clean game, i don't want any penalty shoot out. i don't think that my nurse can take it, pass that on for me. when you go to adam rainy now, who was standing by for us in rome, had him tell us how a fence preparing well can much like what paul said about the fans there in london. there's a certain boy and see here, just a few 100 meters from where i'm staying at the coliseum. one of the few nodes are gathering spots for fans is opened up and people are starting to file in some 2500 people can attend to their there's another one across from us, another part of the center where another 2500 fans must have tickets to get in, they're not going in with any cobra testing as is happening at wembley. but what we're seeing is concerned across the country that this event with the big screen televisions in gathering points across the country could help push the delta

variance into full force. here we haven't seen as many cases, of course here in italy, if you have seen in the u. k. so people are hopeful, they think it's their time, although they don't have the drought that the english side has. they feel that in 2018, not making the world cup finals was a huge pain and open wound actually here in italy. and they see this kind of 33 games streak of undefeated plays against international right now. is this proof that they're on the upward trajectory and also on the same day that they're going to face off against england for this title for the p and title, they have a beloved tennis player. mateo better teenie, the 1st italian ever to make it into a single final wimbledon. he's currently playing against the world. number one joke of ich, i'd some clear how that's going to shake out. but there's this sense in the air that this is italy's moment after a very hard year from cove. of course, the whole world has had a hard year, but italians like to have a little drama thinks and save the 1st western country to suffer so bad from it,

that this is some sort of redemption for them. and they also see that they're fighting for the whole european union. they point out that the chief executive, the european union ursula go and she says that she's on the line. she herself has said she support and italian side many see this as a strong response to breaks it that all of europe is now fighting for italy when now whether that's going to make a difference, it's not clear. so that's how people see things here. camp. all right, i thank you very much for that. adam rainy life from rome. so come here on al jazeera, venezuela forces cracked down on armed gangs, but civilians caught up in the crow fun. and the silver screen goes green, will tell you, want this year's gone film festival is doing to help the environment ah ah,

it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways. the seas no rains, which have been really quite heavy as you know, the last few days in japan that really back off. in fact, even in china, does anybody, one large area of significant re, that's what i got through basing. not for the science where you want to expected. yes, this to the trailing tail across the yangtze. but beyond that we draw north and south was x, the obvious exemption. there are showers in japan and they want to dark blue, santa suggesting heavier shaft near tokyo. and yes, the ground is quite wet. so there's still that re disc, slight risk of lanced by more likely to be flash flooding. but the better situation than you are and we could go there hong kong, whether is recorded or reported as very hot. now this radical variation tension, hong kong is about 30 to the record, about $36.00 to $33.00. 34 is considered very hot in hong kong. had dr. picture

otherwise, said hubert, not of her heavy weather him for we're big thunderstorms. he's developing a moment throughout malaysia ended uneasy as exception probably a java, but this is the focus soon away in southern born here in the next couple of days. so some unknown reason. the monsoon rainy's reimbursing ever a good part of india and it's reached roger. stan and central pakistan sponsored cattle airways. ah, the covey, $910.00, dim brittany, one of singapore, the most love tradition. it's famous straight to the french on 18th, investigate it. poker can innovate to survive on out to 0. me be the hero. the world needs right now i was, ah ah,

ah, the knowledge of their reminder of our stories billionaire richard branson has officially reached the edge of space feeling a lifetime dream and making a dramatic fit for suspects tourism france and in 5, all this trouble the board has companies at virgin galactic winged rocket ship for a few minutes the crew with white cliff thousands of people in bosnia and herzegovina, have forced to on a victim of the $995.00 trip or need to massacre part of the memorial tomorrow. the 26th anniversary of the genocide, the remains of 900 newly identified victims were buried in england will face off in the final of the euro 2020 football championship at london's wembley stadium

in a few else. this is the 1st final for england. men's team in europe, the top for bolton, extreme painters building in the western united states with record breaking temperatures. forecast for california and nevada. comes just weeks after another dangerous heat wave. the next, the o'brien reports me. this is the largest wild fire of the year in california, burning along the border with nevada. a combination of 2 fires, sparked by lightning, doubled in size between friday and saturday, fires rolling down here. it's one of several fires, straightening homes across the wasted united states, blamed on so called heat, dove pockets of high pressure which push warm air down, forcing temperatures up this job. those are the effects of climate change. here it's real human induced impacts. acute impacts are happening decades before even

the scientists i predicted with scorching temperatures across 10 states. 30000000 americans are facing extreme heat. this wildfire and oregon doubled in size on saturday, pushed strong winds. officials with cold, ablaze, unpredictable and erratic. some areas have been evacuated, others have been told to pack up and be ready to leave at any moment. the heat and the fires, putting pressure on the power grid, people are being urged to conserve water and electricity, old system. then they just tend to break on hot day. they can take the heat, they over heat their warnings, a dangerous conditions could cause heat related illnesses. this latest surge follows the hottest june on record for the us, and historic heat wave estimated to kill nearly 200 people. the searing temperature is baking visitors at california, joshua tree, national park thought is place hires like this is a hot,

it's never been hotter. it feels like we're in and out in the nearby death valley. also in the mojave desert reached 53 degrees celsius on saturday. 54 on friday. if confirmed it would be the highest recorded and more than a century and close to the highest ever measured on earth. the conditions of so extreme and the air so dry that some of the water dropped my aircraft to fight the fires, evaporates before it reaches the ground. forecast is say, even if temperatures don't continue to break records, the widespread, oppressive, and long lasting heat remains the threat alex there brian al jazeera fighting between venezuelan security forces and gangs in the capital, caracas has killed at least $26.00 people, including 4 police officers. almost a 1000 armed officers entered for poor neighborhoods on friday, several bystanders believe to be among the dead. the government claims the violence

on an alleged plot by the opposition to destabilize president nicholas medulla. a dozens of schools and jerry, i have been forced to close. you to a series of mass kidnappings of students. the incident had ended the education of many peoples. some victims refused to be scared off, and they taking risks to chase the dreams. one of the students kidnapped from a boy secondary school in the northwest, spoke to al jazeera about how he's determined to get an education, despite the dangers. my name is alicia, do my school is romance. i'm going just going to come here to go to us and going to school and find a no glass. i don't like my new go woman. i was going to school i own when one and 2 dimensional manage course. and then you do not mean that is what i i want to city my

manager over this. he does, i know that i'm not there. it's not, like i said that the landing is not would because that was the line which is good is learning is good because my mom and righty, he's learning students who are very young lady and the three's degrees national. and when i was in the bush me, i was crying because i do think the have the new situation where i'm, i'm one that is i will i have 2 rhoda.

i'm fired and said that we should move on to anything even way you said dilution. we'll have to, i don't, i wouldn't be able to, through them usually would to now use new school now to him. line b hawkins is the uni separate preventative in the area? he says the psychological impact on the school time will have widespread consequences across nigeria. one of the key issues here is to try and generate intelligence to understand what in fueling this crisis. so you have the insurgency primarily in the north east, which is fundamentally ideological. you have conflict in different parts of the country, mainly around the settlers and, and the, the nomad. but you also have the criminality element, which is looking at explore should they are a soft target. these schools. many of them are in the rural areas. a lot of them

have very little protection around them and actually taking 300 girls while logistically, very difficult in terms of security as it is quite easy that they are soft targets with a lot to gain from it. we cannot underestimate the profound impact on these children and psychosocial care for them is of our 1st priority. but on parents themselves, who are saying in different parts of the country, look, look what's happening over that. is it going to happened to my school where my children are at, and not any schools being close, but parents are withdrawing their children from school. so this kind and that's having a profound impact on the morale of education on the learning experience and the continuous learning experience the children require and have a right to. let's not forget. and it builds on the uncertainty that the coven 19 pandemic has brought to the learning experience. hug francis has appeared in public

for the 1st time since undergoing colon surgery. a week ago, he led to sunday pres from the balcony of his hospital. rome talked to say the 84 year old pontiff is recovering well with the 1st time he's been in hospital since becoming the head of the roman catholic church. back in 2013 now. ah. i'll just remind now of the top stories billionaire richard branson has officially reached the edge of space for filling a lifelong dream and making a dramatic step forward for a tourism brands. and in 5 others travelled aboard his company. the virgin galactic winged rocketship for a few minutes. the crew was weightless. speaking from space, frances said he can't wait for others to have the same experience.
