football crowns converse and the spread of coven 19 in the u. k. all the government press the head with reopening plans, wildfire force people to see the homes in the western united states. as the heat wave brings near record temperatures ah millionaire richard brands and has officially reached the edge of space for filling a lifelong dream and making a dramatic step forward for space tourism branson had 5, others traveled aboard, his company, the virgin galactic winged rocketship for a few minutes the crew was weightless, really a ship's wings and fallen in then the plain glided back to earth for a runway landing good rocket motor. the mission statement that i wrote inside my space to was to turn the dream of space, trouble into a reality for my grandchildren have your grandchildren. and for

many people who are alive today for everybody and having flown to space, i can see even more clearly how virgin is the space line for the way here to make space more accessible to all. and we want to turn the next generation of dreamers into the astronauts of today and tomorrow we will ask mistakes or just had the most extraordinary experience we'd love it's, it's a number of you can have it to reynolds is live for us at the virgin atlantic spaceport in sierra county, new mexico rob brands and they're obviously very happy man with what was flawless flight. yeah, that's right. everything went off really without a hits from the take off with the unity space craft attached to the the fuselage of the mother ship,

which took it up high enough for the pilots on board. the unity space plane to fire their 1st detach, which is a tricky maneuver and then fire their rockets and go into near space. they got up to about 88 kilometers. officially space begins at 100 kilometers above mean sea level. but i think branson's view is who is counting, and then the passengers including branson at several minutes where they could view a fantastic picture of earth below with the blackness of space above the engines were stopped for a few minutes so that everyone could experience weightlessness or near weightless this and floating around in the cabin, then the pilots began to reconfigure and re maneuver or landing. they re entered the atmosphere and glided in

for a perfect landing on the runway behind me. afterwards, branson held a press conference, part of which you saw there. he said that he is going to start something of a lottery or a sweepstakes using another company that organizes sweet steak. that will allow people who are not fabulously wealthy to perhaps when a trip to space at some point right now, the goal for branson's virgin galactic is to start allowing space tourism to go up and experience what she just did in the next 12 months. sometime in 2022, whether that happens or not, we'll see. but the price tag tickets, the space on richard branson,

space plane is currently about $250000.00. so it's not exactly for everyone grants and also thanked all. busy his crew and support staff and very interesting. he played a clip of the late businesses, stephen hawking, who he said, inspired the name of the space plane community. after that, after the press conference concluded with a few self promotional flourishes, for virgin galactic, there were champagne corks popping celebrations all around. and that's pretty much the best day of richard branson's life, i guess. all right, thank you for that robin live in sarah county. let's go to leo and she was a space analyst. and joining us now from us say, in the south of france, thank you for your time. just give, if you will take how big a day was this for space exploration for ushering in space tourism.

well it is a big day for richard branson. there's no question about that. let us not forget his well that those astronaut wings that were handed out just a short time ago at the ceremony. just pre and the people on board got them because the others had already flown aboard the space plain before. and so the people who got the space wings where a column banner to an english months, an employee, richard brown, some and the other person really does deserve mention. here is reesha band lab. she is the 2nd woman born in india to reach space. and this is desperately sad because the 1st indian woman to go to space was counting the child. and she died along with her crewmates and when the space shuttle columbia broke up over the california, i'm sorry, over texas some years ago. so this was

a bitter sweet moment to see the 2nd indian woman receive astronaut wings. something we haven't spoken about yet this hour is when we talk about space tourism is the fact that i think in less than 10 days jeff pays off. is meant to make his journey into, into space and then later on, math talk us through the sort of rivalry, the competition on the space tourism from well, richard brown, soon as quite interesting all this, i mean, he tell some porky, there's no 2 ways about it. he said, oh, i didn't rush to get out before jeff b r. i mean, okay, maybe maybe that is true, but it was certainly an earlier flight planned before his mission into space. but he clearly understands that there is enough business for both of them. and he

said this a number of times that they can actually make do business each of them. i'm be profitable. but, and this is a very big, but branson fully understands, he must complete his test program. he's 2 more flights to go. he must complete the refurbishment of his terrier plane that we saw spectacularly carried them up to 15 kilometers. and then he must do this on a regular basis, what they call the agents of launches. he's got to be doing this day in day out in order to make money, and he's got to bring the price and stuff. but hey, thank you very much for your time. your now says mayor. and right there, space and list. turn reply from us. say, ahh et me in england will face off in the final of the euro, 2020 football championship and london's wembley stadium. ah,

and it's not too far away. now this is the 1st final for the england men's team in europe taught football tournament. the hoping to defeat italy who lifted the trophy in 1968th. paul brandon has this update from wembley stadium. so from the route 45 minutes ago phones already started to stream in to the stadium over my shoulder. all of them have have to be negative. sure. negative corona virus test on the stadium itself and 75 percent pool because of the code, the restrictions which is placed in the u. k. only around $7000.00 italy, fans will be a 1000 of them. brought direct from italy in a special, almost 10 metrically sealed bubble to be attending the game and then taking straight back with i'll have to call into the rest of those italian fans are actually from here in the you carry for the extra 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 lena that captain,

37 years old versus a 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 times here. it's pretty much sums it up the captain hurricane georges flag across the front of a creek because it's unfolded. but yeah, the expectation of the water comes here as well. enormous the framing is basically if it's, if it isn't time that's been 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. well, adam righty is in rome where fans have gathered not far from where he is. there's a certain boy and see here, just a few 100 meters from where i'm staying at the coliseum. one of the, 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 there. not going in with any covert testing as has happened yet at wembley. but what we're seeing is concerned across the country that this event with the big screen televisions and 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 opening 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 you may have heard england fans repeat that. the euro tournament is coming home,

but some fare will crowds that size and not many wearing mosques. the only thing going home is the crone of ours. the delta variant is behind to rise and infections with more than 30000 cases recorded. over the past 4 days. spectators have been to get close at 910. so vaccines on monday, prime minister barak johnson and fit to confirm whether most of england's locked down rules will end on july 19th from gay, who has moved from london. the government seems to be still proceeding on its mission to unlock the legal requirements on the 19th of july. now this is caused a lot of concern from scientists from across the medical community, as well. with more than 120 scientists writing the medical journals alongside, criticizing the government, but conducting what it says is an ethnic experiment on the health of the people in the u. k. and in england, especially where the legal requirements are due to be lifted out,

while the vaccines minister in the hall, we had spoken about the fact that people will still be expected to wear mall and crowded indoor situations. the fact that it come down to personal responsibility as the government has been housing really is leaving people and scientists, especially in deep consent. that said, this is just simply not enough that a lot of people are going to write off the pandemic as being something that is fading away. it's most certainly is not fading away. over the past few days. in english, you've had infections of about $30000.00 plus every single day of people who are coming down with as many of the delta variants as well. of course, the successful vaccine program has weakened the link between getting infected with cobit and resulting in in the hospital or even dying as well. but that's not to say that those cases are non existent. still ahead on algebra will have more on why

rally is taking place in the far west bank against the palestinian authority also kidnapped while at school in the area. the students is determined to verification, respond the risks involved. ah right, there's not much class and there's not much rain around in the middle east this time, the or in turkey or in iran. there is some, i mean that's the edge of the monsoon, nasa you've captured, catching the rain go into the science of pakistan and just catches are mine as well . a bit of sherry stuff up in turkey, but you know, the story really. it's just hot, sometimes dusty wind as well. that's true. it's blowing out for a very hearty rock dance. you go towards their hoster house. 47 ought to be a dry. he cause 47 human heat is really not very bearable. and if anything,

it just more stays the same on tuesday, the wind even strengthens for a while, but backs off over the gulf states the change in the weather. as i mentioned in our man salon, i just entered that page approximately 3 months where the edge of the monthly means is almost continuous. the clarity i often it's drizzly. sometimes you get a thunderstorm. pleasant enough, when the comparison is 5100 degrees. now also the edge of that monster when catches the coast of tanza near kenya, somalia has some rain, but it's also starting the wet season in ethiopia. the july and august of the wet, his monthly shaft started, they can bring flash study. of course it's welcome brain, but it's, they're all the same. nice job. yeah. sedan and in south sedan. the frank assessments is an argument for suggesting that the martin and ministrations are playing a long game. it's very much

a warm embrace of the iran nuclear deal because of us domestic politics informed opinions, schools and shelters have been reduced to rubble. how do you think this shapes a generation and their policy and then in their life has been shape? why vitamin in depth analysis of the data global headlines inside story on our jazeera ah, the me, you're watching all jazz era, reminder of our top stories this ella city and richard friends and has efficiently reached the edge of space for filling a lifelong dream and making a dramatic step for his face, there was a preston and falling about the travel,

the board, his company verging galactic wings rocket ships. for few minutes, the crew with whiteness leant english will face off, and the final of the euro. 2020 football championship at london, wembley stadium. and just onto to all. this is the 1st final for the men's team in europe. will turn turn that comes at a time that the government is concerned of the rising number of cases of the cove at 900 delta variance. australia is also grappling with the delta variance with its 1st grown of our staff this year. so far it's fed much better than many of the developed countries and keeping infections low, but it's been criticized over slow vaccine rollout. now, cases are on the rise and new south wales, even though the biggest city sidney is and it's 3rd week of locked down. the number of people exposed in the community. you have not, i'm anticipating the numbers in new south wells will be greater than a 100 tomorrow. now, that's what i'm anticipating and i'll be shocked if it's less than

a 100. this time tomorrow, if additional new cases. so we can't stress enough the importance of not only following the rules, but also realizing the risk. and south korea will impose confir restrictions in the capital after another, 1300 infections were recorded in the past 24 hours. how far the say the spike in cases is being driven maybe by younger and vaccination people. so and neighboring areas will move to the strictest level of social distance thing for the 1st time. from monday. the supply of oxygen is dwindling and me and there's more people contract for corona virus, the producer that makes the tanks has been ordered to work at full capacity and to convert industrial grade oxygen for patients. more than 4300 new cases were reported on saturday, a new record for the nation. israel has started giving 3rd booster shots of the 5 bounty covered 19 vaccine to adults with weak immune systems. 5 is just 2 doses

would not be effective in fighting the delta, very good fighting undisclosed data and says there's an increased risk of infection after 6 months of getting the 2nd dose plans to ask us and european regulators to authorize boosters for those already in the u. s has sent a delegation to have to assist in the investigation of president jovan alamo, in his assassination. speaking to fox news pentagons press. secretary says the officials will assess the security risk in the country. the haitian government initially requested troops from the u. s. to protect the port airport and other key infrastructure, we are aware of the request by the haitian government. we're analyzing it just like we would any other request for assistance here at the pentagon. it's going through a review. i'm not going to get ahead of that process and today in interagency team largely from the department of homeland security and the f b. i are heading down to haiti right now to see what we can do to help them any investigative process. and i think that's really where our energies are best

applied right now in helping them get their arms around investigating this incident and figuring out who's culpable, who's responsible and, and how best to hold them accountable going forward. that's where our focus is right now. and he gallagher is long for us in washington dc. so andy, i mean, this is a bit of a balancing act for president joe biden. isn't it? there was the request for troops, but he's sending a delegation. yeah, i mean, really what the u. s. is focusing on right now is trying to lend some legitimacy to any investigation that is going to take place over the death of job know movies. who was assassinated in the early hours of wednesday morning. that's about as much as i can do at the moment that request for us troops from the haitian government. my 1st reaction was well, who is the haitian government right now? because there's so much political in fighting over this vacuum created by the death of the president. and there are a great concerns from ordinary haitians who are basically hunkering down in the homes right now waiting for news. as there is no real leadership and not countries

of the u. s. off sending a delegation from the f b i from the department of homeland security to try and get to the bottom of who was behind this assassination. but that doesn't really help the security situation in this beleaguered nation. even the gangs now are holding their own press conferences, saying they will fight on behalf of the haitian people. so this continues to be a very precarious situation. and many haitians looking for answers about who was behind the assassination the perhaps more importantly, what will happen with the security situation next. all right, thank you for that update. and again, look, they are in washington d. c. thousands of people in bosnia herzegovina have paused to on a victims of the 1995 trip or need to massacre as part of the memorial to mark the 25th anniversary of the genocide. the remains of 19 newly identified victims were buried. it was the worst mass murder in europe since the 2nd world war. serbian

forces killed more than 8000 people, mostly mostly men and boys. $20000.00 civilians were also expelled from the area around trip or need to tack durham salvage has more now from the memorial interpret 26 years later, 19 victims of the 7th genocide have found there it is. the youngest, among them, was just 16 years old when he was killed in 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's was the theme of the collaboration. the genocide, denial has the stab. 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 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, valentin 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 protest against the palestinian authority taking place in the occupied westbank. there have been calls for weeks now for palestine. the president would have boss to quit after the death of an activist in p. a custody. and smith joined us now live from ramallah

in the occupied westbank. my apologies here is ben smith in the west bank the capitalist, today's protest. but not a couple of weeks ago. he had been arrested by palestinian security forces and according to witnesses severely enough. and an autopsy policy advised me that he died as a result of the injuries he'd received when he was beaten. 40 members policy security in custody. no one yet charged with death, protested a calling for justice. for him. i'm calling with how is the new president my move about to go, but not the 5th critic of the president of a multi, relatively small scale protest. the authorities here are extremely sensitive to any sign of i would dissent pretend to whole process last couple of weeks. i've been violently suppressed by the security forces that allow this one to go ahead and

move it increasingly on popular here. that was a post election last month. they were cancelled again and he's been effectively ruling by decree for much of the 15 years since i were elections last held. his a be sort of protest, a really, really sort of out that there is off issue voice extreme. he is building in the western united states with record breaking temperatures, forecasts for california and nevada. it comes just weeks after another dangerous he twice as alexi. o'brien, 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, are doubled in size between friday and saturday, fires rolling down air. it's one of several fires, straightening homes across the wasted united states, blamed on so called heat dome, 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 been induced impacts. acute impacts are happening decades before even the scientists i predicted with scorching temperatures across penn state's 30000000 americans facing extreme heat. this wildfire and oregon doubled in size on saturday, pushed by strong winds. officials with cold delays, 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. and then they just tend to break on hot day, they can take the heat, they over heat, they're wanting. so 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 have killed nearly 200 people. the searing temperatures 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 is 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 by aircraft to fight the fires evaporates before it reaches the ground. forecasters say, even if temperatures don't continue to break records, the widespread oppressive and long lasting heat remains the thread elixir brian al jazeera canada has impose restrictions on rail transport in areas that are on risk

of wildfire therapy. days of record breaking hate with temperatures just under 50 degrees celsius. wildfires have been threatening towns in the west of the country and investigators are looking into where the freight trains are partly to blame. the new order will force trains to slow down and take other precautions. dozens of schools in nigeria having forced a close after a series of mass kidnappings of students. some youngsters refused to be scared off and taking risks to ensure that their education continues. one of the students adopted from a secondary school in the northwest of the country folk to al jazeera. my name is alicia to my school isn't going to going to come here. but 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 over live in. ready that i own when the one and the maxima,
