a butcher. now the largest and most powerful telescope ever built is due to blood be blasted into space on saturday. it's about 20 years behind schedule, with our hasn't damp, any excitement felt by scientists. james web telescope could help us better understand stars and galaxies and a 13000000000 years old. so let's now cost you money rapper. he's in qu in french kiana where the launch is due to take place. so as we were saying, this is very exciting and years in the making. one of the final preparations on the way for launch. very exciting. indeed miriam and rain is starting to fall so that excitement could be damp. and hopefully that's not the case. i want to answer your question, but i also want to show you a little bit of a show intel here in, in the city of crew at the space center in french kiana. behind me,

that spacecraft that you see is a replica of the area and 5 rocket that will be ferrying the james web telescope into orbit. now this is not an exact replica, this is 51 meters high. it's exactly 6 meters shorter than the actual rock. and the reason for this discrepancy is that the rocket itself is going to be ferrying the james web space telescope had to be fitted with a very special fairing, a special housing that makes it a little bit bigger, a little bit taller than your average run of the mill area and 5 rocket, but as you said, this is 25 years in the making 25 years of delays and setbacks of funding cuts of, of many, many different challenges to get to where we are right now. even just moving web from the eastern coast of the united states to california, placing it on a on a ship that would then travel through the pacific cross the panama canal, to avoid pirates, then making its way into the caribbean, into the atlantic before even getting here to french deanna,

this telescope itself was supposed to launch in 2020, but was delayed because of the kobe 19 pandemic. and even just this month, it's faced 3 different delays, one of which again, due to the weather, hopefully that will be the case. now, but there seems to be a lot of excitement and a lot of confidence that the web telescope will launch on december 25th christmas day. have a look. it's one of the most highly anticipated space missions in recent memory. after more than 2 decades of setbacks and delays, the james web space telescope is finally cleared for launch and expectations at the speech center in french kiana or hi. and i think i speak for everyone to say that we're, we're really excited to see it launch and i think everyone's done everything they can to make it a successful launch as well. web is the most powerful space telescope ever built its mission to pier back 13500000000 years ago to the early stages of our universe

. scientists say the potential for new discoveries could up and everything we know about our place in the cosmos. we're really trying to look further back in time and, you know, examine how some of those 1st galaxies formed where we're trying to rewrite some of the astronomy votes that exist right now. at the space museum in the city of crew, a new generation of astronomers anxiously await lift off on and the excitement is just as high for aspiring scientists as it is for the grown ups who have been waiting for this moment. for years, we went to hear the music, i'm acela's phone and i've been studying astronomy for 10 years. i'm very excited about this telescope. so many questions will be answered thanks to it. i study excel planets, those planets that orbit stars, other than our son, and looking at their atmosphere, we could find possible evidence of extra terrestrial life. the web space telescope represents a collaborative effort by more than

a dozen countries and the work of thousands of scientists and engineers from all over the world. the faring sitting on top of that area and 5 rocket is housing. the james web space telescope and those rocket boosters that you see on the side of the spacecraft have been filled with some 480 metric tons of solid fuel propel it just enough to blast off and send this payload some one and a half 1000000 miles away from her with the rocket now sitting on its launch pad, fingers are crossed and collective breaths are being held for weather conditions to be optimal on the day of launch. now the web mission is nasa's highest priority scientific endeavor. there are representatives here from the u. s. space agency, the you repeat the european space agency for an area and space, the private space company that's in charge of making thing, making sure that everything goes according to plan. and as far as we can tell from what we've gathered here so far, since we arrived there is

a lot of confidence that this launch is finally going to happen. and with it usher in a new era of astronomy. mariam, i thank you very much, manny rapids, joining us staff from glue in french guiana. when now we go to development in libya because our protests in several cities in the country after its long awaited presidential election was postponed. lesson countries had said that they'll continue to recognize libby as interim government. he's had a vote can be held. the election was part of the un backed initiative to end of or a decade of violence. the ballot hasn't gone ahead because of a dispute of the rules and the eligibility of several candidates. malik traina has more now from tripoli, today as live as 70 it anniversary or independent or independence day. it's also the day that a presidential election should have been run. so we're here in morris, where, where you can see a crowd gathering as libyan celebrate the historic day and live in history. but

right next to the celebration, you have people protesting here saying that election should go shouldn't go ahead without a constitution. they're calling for a constitutional referendum before a presidential election takes place. now just wednesday, the liberty of high national elections commission suggested that elections be postponed until january 24th. and really, we're not seeing any regret. we've talked to a couple of people. and here's what one of them had to say on the limit to what we are seeing on the ground. and when you look at the live in social media, most of the lived and people are calling for constitutional refer and them. a presidential election without the constitution is impossible of almost the halo. so what we're seeing now is live in calling for our lametre election to move ahead. they wanted the constitutional referendum that identifies the governing our

president would they believe move the country forward. tens of thousands of people in pakistan have had to move inland as see war to encroaches on the land and on the ground water largely juice arising sea levels and our warnings that the country could have. 2000000 climate migrants by the year 2050 some. bon jovi reports from fata and southern pakistan a 600000 hector forest is focused on natural defense against salt water intrusion and rides and sea levels. this is that he generation nature, region nation, conservation to say the number of trees and forest cover in the industry were delta has increased in the last decade. the diversity and focus on mangrove is dying. most of the 17 major creeks from the river no longer provide fresh water. that means no filled or new soil,

a necessity for the carbon capturing roots of the mangrove plant. the climate vulnerable since problems are successfully rehabilitated, hundreds of hectic mangroves. but it's not enough. a lot about your mangrove, give bailey, i bare. previously we had 8 species of mangroves, but now we are left with just 4 species due to fresh waters not being available. 2 of the surviving species only made it because they adapted to sailing water. they gave the fresh water creeps, which provided a fertile delta, are now sea water, creeks, dams, and excessive water use upstream leaves little water for the south. despite laws, entreaties the river agriculture is destroyed by sea water. parkinson's ranked among the world stopped in countries and a threat from climate change. the climate action net, but believes by the sun could have around 2000000 climate migrants by 2050 in coastal communities. a 1000000 people are believed to be at risk from the decrease in fresh water. people here have been telling us the thousands have left it and

says 2 homes due to a lack of water. and villages like this are slowly dying. sea water encroaches drown water tables for hundreds of kilometers. people angry at the government's lack of solution. see they can only pray for rain while i jo. bonnie room of water is a huge problem and our children have to walk 10 kilometers to get it because of this out of a 1000 homes, only 4 or 500 are left and families are scattered all over the migration towards cities added pressure to bring water and lack of opportunities are causing social problems as well. women who work in the fields have children and run households are under tremendous pressure. young girls have to pitch and to help their mothers. we couldn't speak to their mothers as in this remote part of park a son. we were not allowed to film the women. everything which can hold water is utilized here. but even that's not enough. why i want to go down the lane out of there is no water in the whole village and we can't fund drinking water anywhere. i

have to come and refill multiple times a day. if i take one container from to swill, maybe we have enough water to cook, but there isn't enough water to drink. these much skippers, unimed phoebe as fish who in their attempt to live on land, provide nature's filtration for the mangrove forest. they've adapted for generations to the changes around them. but unlike them, humans in towns like gayety, but they have had to move multiple times because of encouraging sea water. and in less drastic measures have taken to replenish that over delta. the floods and droughts will continue to cost the pockets on the economy an estimated bill $1000000000.00 a year. some of the other there are tucked up suddenly pockets and bought 2 of our special fairies on pockets downs water challenges. sullivan jewelry takes us to the malay mountains, where melting glass is posed a risk for communities who rely on them. for warship, you can see that from 0 to 100 gmc on saturday. and so with

a we class in 2021, we're looking back at some of the biggest stories of a year and a head and what might shape the news agenda next year. there are concerns about the growing adoption of facial recognition technology. now government say it's for security, but others are predicting a terrifying future. rob reynolds explains in this dramatize ation of a potential dystopian future technology watchdog group. the future of life institute portrayed killer autonomous weapons. using facial recognition technology and artificial intelligence to commit crimes, attack military and civilian targets, and spread terror all without direct human involvement. if it's not science fiction technology experts say you can actually create a drown that you say, just go hunt this specific individual and kill that remote law. and i think it's an

extremely dangerous situation to be visual recognition technology or f r t doesn't require billions of dollars or dozens of super computers. we're talking about being able to do something with commodity hardware with freely available tools and stuff . it's been around for, you know, a few years now, and there's no reason why that couldn't be used by. i folks, even, you know, you don't have deep technical expertise. the prospect of non state actors employing the technology is troubling. but countries are already using mass surveillance, f r t, in the us police used f r t to identify specific black lives matter. protesters then scrutinize their social media accounts and check for outstanding warrants. other countries have massive networks of interconnected cameras. london is a city that comes to mind, it's one of the most, you know, it has one of the widest networks for surveillance. and they have our processes in

place to manage some of that. china uses f r t to curtail human rights. in china, there are specific ways in which they're trying to recognize the weaker minority so that they can again surveil and curtail their movements and harassed them and put them in concentration camps. and so i, there are also positive light saving applications of the technology. for example, in auto safety, most people may not realize, but many new automobiles now have a camera that's built into the car that actually is, is observing the driver. and those sorts of technologies can be used then to help you know, recognize that somebody's doing drowsy or, you know, is to repair, to driving those sorts of things. like many technologies that have burge and in recent decades, f r t is largely unregulated in september,

a united nations report singled out a i enabled f r t as posing special threats to human rights. the un human rights chief michelle bunch. a lead called on member states to issue an immediate moratorium on artificial systems until researchers fully assess what she called the catastrophic risks they pose rob reynolds al jazeera. now the soil following japan is the latest country to announce that it wasn't sand government officials to the winter olympics and by jane. it's a partial boycott with japan, still sending several olympic officials to china, including the president of the tokyo, 2020 games and the heads of japan's olympic. and pardon pick committees? the u. s. u k, canada and australia of already announced diplomatic boycott as well. hey, with the news allan live from london and have all the sport he is very shortly. gonna hear from tom's coach. it wasn't impressed with what the premier league had

19 cases and injuries. with many teams hit by a rise in corona virus cases, the league held a virtual meeting with managers on thursday to discuss the congested fixture list, player welfare and other key issues. but tottenham boss, antonio conte believes it was a waste of time. some coaches are all trying to try to, to speak and her her to ask her about to solution on. but i think her took everything to was decided and no, i think her yesterday and her. it was a wall as you came as bigger. you can ask what you want, but every thinker was or every decision water taken area. i spoke to sports correspondent rob harris from the associated press and asked him about the possibility of the premier league pause the season. while the permanent gall despots try get, as many fixtures played as possible, because once the season starts to be pause or the lengthy break that it comes back

into the discussion about rebates, the broadcast, as we had 200 de shut down. and it really is a problematic situation with the right of ours in the u. k. at the moment, 1700000 cases, they estimate over the last week in the country, the permanent record 90. and the premier league will be saying the, the players do have an obligation to, to get vaccinated. only 77 percent are fully vaccinated in the primarily 16 percent yet to receive a single dies compared to salary where it's about 98 percent molig. 94 percent of plays fully vaccinated. so, as it stands now, unless the government puts on hold, the premier league is determined to play on the many fixtures as possible. despite this disruption in the m. b, a washington, god, spencer, and where he says there's no way the league was going to cancel the iconic christmas day schedule because of the 19 that was it, or among 75 to send to teams affected by the m b a safety protocols. and on

a bank and that money back to los angeles. like as we're missing a 6 players on that coach because of caveat 19 of protocols and injuries. but they did have a bron james when they hosted at san antonio. he top scored with a 36, but it wasn't enough. as the lakers fell by 28 points, that 4th consecutive loss literally this always comes to facility in the homes and i like to have been out and about learn how you know, and just give me a positive test you know, knock on wood. oh ball. i wanna run into it again, but as soon as we are known, you don't know where's coming from? you don't know where it's at and shot a sense. healthiest possible. steph curry delivered another shooting master class for the golden state warriors. he managed 46 points against the bent his grizzlies, including 83 pointers, the warriors and just behind phoenix, the top spot in the western conference. or by the way, the warriors in one career gay england, cricket captain j rate,
