i guess with bright pole ah, ah, how i am fully battery boy. doha, with a look at the headlines on al jazeera france has further tightened covered 19 measures after reporting more than 100000 cases in a day. a government has asked people to work from home at least 3 days a week, but there will be no curfew for new year's eve. in the u. s. the centers for disease control has shortened the recommended time. people should isolate when they're tested positive from 10 to 5 days. president joe biden says the health

system is prepared for the soaring number of cases, but has admitted the response hasn't been sufficient. in other news, indonesian officials say they will not offer refuge to a group of robina on a stranded boat. they say the vessel will be turned away, but they'll will, will help prepare it for us then are providing food. $120.00 people including children on board, bring a muslim refugees from yamaha for years. sailed to countries such as militia thailand and indonesia, to seek refuge from persecution. villages in myanmar have been fleeing to neighboring thailand as fighting between government forces and ethnic qur'an groups intensifies. the violence was triggered by a military raid last week. tony chang has more from the tab watertown of may sot. it's a lot quanch's day. we have had a few little clashes, we heard her, some bangs inside now mom, but the fighting seems to have moved in from the immediate border area. that's what

the time military were telling us. they seemed a lot more relaxed, very different from yesterday. when we saw her fighting really right up to the river more that the, the border itself and villages pouring across. we even saw an attack helicopter operating along the border. a lot of villages said that that was the thing. they were really most scared about. the air strikes that had been coming in or to the places they lived there. still on the tie side, there are more than 5000 people who came across in the last couple of weeks. or we spoke to a couple of them who said they still don't want to go home. they're still concerned, but they want to monitor what's going on across the board. so they want to make sure that everything is secure. nonetheless, it does seem to be a little bit quieter today. so i think everything in the border area seemed a little more settled in the town of me, a wadi there was border trade going across so some semblance of normality. returning sherry and st media is reporting israeli forces have carried out an air

strike and a major port in the city of latasha isn't clear if anyone has been injured and the syrian reports hadn't been independently confirmed one. a jam june reports in serious major port city of latasha, the sound of air strikes thunder in the distance. as fireballs light up the night sky. this is the result of his really missiles, according to syrian state media. ups and containers were all damaged in the attack details that could not be independently verified. the port of the talk here is in the west of the country and handles most of serious imports. this is the 2nd reported israeli airstrike there this one. the earlier attack happened on december 7th and also targeted the container facility. it was reported to be the 1st on the

facility since the start of the war in syria in 2011. is missile strikes on the talk yet were larger than the previous ones. israel's military has not commented on either of the airstrikes but it has previously confirmed conducting raids against iranian targets inside syria, bahama jim's room. as it is, government has frozen the bank accounts of one of the world's best known catholic charities. it is accused the organisation that was founded by mother teresa, of trying to force people to convert to christianity. a claim the organization has the night. tesla found a eat on mosque is facing backlash in china after beijing said his satellites had to close encounters with it space station earlier this year. the claims have not been verified by beijing has complained to the un space agency. those are the headlines coming up next. it's al, jazeera correspondence. ah,

ah ah o, my modem for hulu. ah, just 60 years after the wright brothers man in the i, scientists and engineers will grappling with the next major challenge. but putting a man in space and keeping him alive that as an engineering challenge, it was the most extreme imaginable destination. a rocket and the most

complicated piece of personal protection equipment man has ever known a space suit for the american side of the space. race of the design challenge was handed to a small team inside nasa, approved system of the leader of that team was matthew red, knocked ski, the mad russian, an eccentric 2nd generation jewish immigrant with a can do attitude and a broad boston accent. he was also my grandfather. i barely knew him. he died when i was just 3 years old. apollo 11 was his tri armoire, all around and the perfectly designed space suits them and flew in where his legacy . i've always been fascinated by space and i've often wondered how he did it. for me. story of the space race isn't just about the men who risk their lives to travel into the unknown. but the ones who held those lives in their hands.

i grew up in hartford sher, england, a world away from america in the space race. i'm at my parents house to ask my dad, he remembers about grandpa. looking at our old photographs and watching and ask the film, i realized how little i really know about my grandfather. your grandfather and his colleagues worked on the space suits they designed the space suits. that became the, the centerpiece of what the astronauts war and the mercury gemini, and the apollo program that neil armstrong buzz aldrin and all of the astronauts who followed them. who walked on the moon. i never really quite realized, actually i always thought that, oh it was, it was just a very small part in this big machine. and actually i realize now who was actually

put a big part in the big machine. i think he and a lot of people were big parts in that machine. i think there were a lot of people who took the goals that were given them and they just went on the chieftain. why did he say when we were born? i see, i don't even know was he a nice compa? yeah. honey. com. yeah, you didn't. you didn't see a lot of him because he lived in texas and we were here already by the time you were born. i was he please. this is this, i'm sancho probably. oh yeah. he loved up to all of you and like to talk about it. what is it by now to come? allison little the pictures in me getting on the counter the nation. um now it, it, it feels great. it's, it's really interesting to reevaluate a little bit and to remember the terrific person that your grandfather was. my dad was he was, he was a, he was a real character. and i think about him what i always have.

and it's interesting when your parents have been gone for, for while you know, what do you think about and they're still there in the rear and you can hear them or anything on it. my think about that you think about fantasy not tang. now this is great, i think it's i think it's a chance for you to discover who your grandfather was and, and it's, it's for you to get to know my dad in a way that may be the start. i mean, we have a few pictures, you know, you're going to go often talk to people who knew him and worked with them. and i think that's just terrific. i'm really glad my grandfather's fascination was safety fighting and subsequently space seats began during world war 2. might read enough

sky was stationed at 3rd lie bedfordshire in england in the 3 or 6 bombardment, greek as a navigator. in the b 17 flying fortress. all is left now. a small museum operated by ralph franklin on the outskirts of the old field. me. i've come here with my dad because we both want to hear my grandfather's combat story. i think that some of the equipment used in the us course at that time may have influenced grampa when he subsequently designed the national clothing and equipment. ralph has a good collection, told air force equipment hair during his time at nasa. grandpa designed the astronaut communications helmet effects known as the snoopy cap. it's easy to see how the influence for that came from the aviators flying helmet. i always had, i had like this my only when you fly and it was easier to have the

headset here face and the helmet hours all are complete fixture. and that was what i often, well, apparently, when grandpa was working on the gemini projects, they were the actual complaint i comes, devices kept slipping. and so grandpa said somebody, oh, just get an 88 his cap and they can wear that underneath their helmet. and that will keep the common device in place. maybe we attached that device to the hat. and i hadn't really realized that it was so literally exactly like that. like he was just like, oh let's get this hat that i remember from the war and see if we can put together he let she was. oh, what to do? what i did during the war? that makes sense. that's. that's really cool. ralph also shows me a heated suit that the 8 his war to keep warm when they flew at high altitude. right, well this is a heating suit, commonly known as a blue bonnie obviously because this blue i suppose was bonnie: i don't know. you can see it with all the heating out running through it.

i'm surprised how much it looks like something worn by nasa astronaut. this looked just like a cooling suit when you were underneath your, your space suit. so you say ok how we can manage to keep the actual cool when they're wearing this matter suit that weighs more than 2 men. you just put them in a suit that has watering through it. and so again, like with the snoopy cup, you can see really clearly that this is something that he would have been it not even slide by such an obvious. again, it's an obvious answer to problem. during the war, grandpa was a navigator in a b. 17 caught the cost of it on brianna, but i've never been able to picture him in action. so this is really interesting because this is actually inside of a b 17. this picture here. and it's really, i like it because it the 1st chance i've had to understand what you would have looked like inside one. so where's that,

where's the pilot in his back here. okay. this is where that is. we're looking from the back here, down to the from what kind of temperatures would have actually been inside the aircraft to mean that you'd have toilet jacket more. this is wednesday. i need you to. yeah, in her on jackets because the american bowman was tongue from greater heights. that was the idea of it. dad asks route if there's any record of when grandpa was shut down in 1943, 306. this is going 1st. i have a germany. and you might find dad in here. and matthew, i read off ski, page $289.00. ah. on november 21st lieutenant, we turned off threw in cash with amber jago with knocked out a formation when 2 rounds of flak hit on the nose. we had,

once you fall back out of formation, you're an easy target. we had to fall back out of formation because they had hit an engine. and when they hit it, an engine, there was an inborn edge, and it hit me wounding 1st. lieutenant massey roy, red na ski the navigator. there we are. very. are the tail gunner bailed out. everybody bailed allan listed. men bailed out of the pilot. and the co pilot stayed holding the play it plain level. i was hit in the plane. and the same explosions also said the member to engine on fire, severed the throttle and linkage to number one engine. be a plane, lots to engines, ultimately. and the 3rd engine. finally, i got a great big piece of flag that went into my back ah, right through. i am and suit that i was wearing. i had to i'm it suits one that i

laid on the floor. and another one that was that was sitting and wearing but i went right through it didn't make any difference than another verse to the right side of this for 23rd plane. and 2nd, lieutenant marvin travis co pilot, his babbling did in his right leg while they were having a very bad day and are laid me out flat. i was laying there and it. and it opened my parish. my parents was laying there in the inside. so the bama dia gave me his parish. ah, and catch me to a static line right next to me and threw me out. and other members of the crew who bailed out were 1st. lieutenant douglas mcknight was received a metal for saving money, saving my dad got him out if he was the bombardier and sam polk liaison faltered,

he came down from a very high altitude because it's, it deployed very quickly and it took a long time to get down it's but it was wonderful was so quiet. and then i heard a dog barking. i heard a bell ringing from a church. and then i landed in the trees and it was for wonderful landing that ever get. i landed in the parish. you kinda landed over the top of the trees and i plunged down. never hit the ground just a couple feet from the ground hanging there at british parachute on, which was you just turn turner thing and hit it and you fall out of it. and i was pretty much paralyzed due to my wounds. i was hit currently by a machine gun full as well as in the year because i got 3 machine gun bullets in addition in me when i, when i parachute and my boots fell off, my vest fell off mice escape fit, kit fell off everything. the only that worked was it was the parachute. thank god,

but nothing works. that's how i became interested where he would safety equipment. nothing worked. wow. oh, on the boat now it's terrific to get to one of my young. i'm ready to now. actually feel humble. when i was, when i was 19 years old, i wasn't doing anything like this ah. in the united states, the calling foundation has offered me the chance to put myself in grandpa seats and take my own ride in a b 17. despite my fear of heights, it's an unmissable opportunity. climbing up into the b 17, i'm surprised how craft it is. one cole is creating narrow. it may look imposing from the outside, but it's actually crowded and very functional on the inside. the 1st time i get to

see what the painting in the museum is like in real life, i can see the bump disposition and to navigate his table where my grandfather would have sat and where he was injured. i'm sitting here with the radio operator would have sat out there. you've got where the pilot and the co pilots would offend and be great cuz you can actually this is open up here and it goes it. i think over a 100 miles an hour. oh, here we go. here we go with a big deal. no big deal. ah

i think

it's a windy day and after the flight, i'm told this is made on trip. i'm usually bumpy. similar how dodging flat during the fall would have felt so bad that really cool, but i feel like i'm not going to her grandpa is experience of being shut down in spite his passion for safety, clothing and ultimately led to a career at nasa. well, over the 4th 1957 russia successfully launch. sputnik won, the world's fast artificial sax alight. this act mocked the stars the space race a battle for supremacy of space between the us and russia. america responded with

the mercury project talk, making allen shepherd the 1st american space in 1900. $61.00, followed by john glenn, less than a year later, the far in 1962 president john f. kennedy declared, the country would go one step further by putting him out on the moon and returning him safely and all by the end of the day, we choose to go to the mall and mr. cade and do the other thing. not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that old, well serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills. because that challenge is wong, that we're willing to accept one, we are willing to both born and one when you plan to win. and the other still kennedy's famous rallying call to beat russia to the moon, galvanized thousands of american engineers in developing new technologies,

including the space suit. the smithsonian's national air and space museum in washington dc is the perfect place to get the big picture of how the space it was developed. these basic spaces were ones vague. gara and glen war basically had the same function. they were there to keep erin in case of emergency on to keep particles out and to protect against any sort of radiation that those high levels of altitude space suits are not very comfortable things to where they're peer heavy, they're awkward, they're bulky. ah, they're constraining. and getting those everything right for the astronaut is very important. so. so you've heard of my grandfather? yes. yes. i've seen his signature on, on documents and materials live. yes. these, these very one that i think for me, it's hard sometimes to understand exactly how you fit into everything. the process

of designing the suit is enormously iterative. it started with propose suit designs and prototype suits. they come from private corporations as a bid for a contract with nasa and they work with with nasa and the crew systems division and the astronauts to decide what's good, what's bad, what has to be fixed and what has to be modified. so there is an ongoing discussion . they have to have a suit that doesn't cost an enormous amount of money on it that satisfies the astronauts because there are going to be the ones working in it. and that also meets the requirements to fit in the spacecraft to work on the operationally in fits the requirements of nasa and the crew systems division. it sounds like also grandpa would have an actually known a lot of different people if he was mediating between the astronauts. the nasa itself within the contractors. it via the contractor. he's known among the

astronauts, he's known among contractors and certainly at nasa who he's very famous and he has a signature and signing off on materials and designed crazy. i love you. incredible to hear someone say he was famous. i can't believe that. it's just. yeah. wow, so everything you or your parents told you was true. 0, one story they did tell me unites astronauts, engineers, and contract is a disaster that could have ended the entire space. paragraph b on january 27th, 1967, the crew of apollo one, roger chaffee, gus grissom and dead white carrying out the routine test with the plugs out to kind of just half of the launch. when it went disastrous, the wrong everything. when suddenly the control room had one of the crew shouting over the intercom,

there was a fire in the capital one and the fuel and environmental court. the fire the 3 astronaut were dead within 90 seconds. walter cunningham, lunar module, pilot for polo 7 was also a member of the backup crew for apollo one. he had been in the same space cross just the night before taking process. similar tests to the prime crew was a real shot because we had done the night before, almost the same test. and we were waiting the next day for us in roger to form. it was the plunge out and the has closed. so we are all going to fly back together. and by late afternoon they had been so many delays and little problems in the

spacecraft that we finally decided them. about 5 o'clock we were going to take off, we flew back by ourselves. volleyed on the shock we had was when we landed back here and ellington. airforce base. and usually we would just walk in and change it or leave our helmets and drive home. but there was a operations officer. was there meeting us or something wrong? went inside and he told us about the fire in the who died. so it was a shock to us, and so we mediately started trying to find out what had happened. and of course, gone by saying the surviving spouse isn't doing what you do after somebody a friend gets killed like ah, gus chris, them and roger chaffey were buried owing to national cemetery. the resting place of

the nation's hero body at white family, buried him at west point military academy in new york. i think it's very able to come face to face with that real grave because it makes them more real obviously to see their names and just to see them along with the other graves of, of military men. these men died by country in a way that i think we never expected to die like that's what also so hard. they died on the ground on a daily task, but no one expected to be fatal. and i think that probably was hard to their families is that they died in the, in the development stages. they didn't die in face. it was just what considered to be a monday and friday in the space program was suspended for 18 months while a major investigation looked into what had gone wrong and advised changes to be

made among them. the hatch to the captain was redesigned to make emergency escape much easier, and the air inside it was changed to a less flexible mix of nitrogen and oxygen. the new challenge grandpa and the crew system team would be to make the whole command module fire proof. crucially, the space was specifically redesigned to be made from non probable material. the fire was a tiny point in the face program. it brought about the realization, but not just the most obvious, the dangerous scenario needed caution. even a routine test on the launch pad to be fatal after the investigation is to fire closed all eyes on what new fire pretty soon the apollo astronauts would where and who would create i. january 20 years ago,

the euro was brought into turkey lesson. we investigated have a euro benefit from having an a 3 so currently be part of the stream and join our social media community early owns recovery from civil war continued. we must, through decades since the end of one of africa, the most complex, the bottom line. steve carmen's dives headlong into the u. s. issues that shape the rest of the world. as we enter the 3rd year with cobit 19, we go back to whoo hm. where it all began and investigate how far we've come. since the pandemic january on a, just the euro dreams, johns and entertainment, a way for people to rise above the violence around them. so it's my role to give these girls a different idea that they can leave the wards of this community. 3 short films

show how performance creates a home and calmly and gives hope and opportunity. a j. select on al jazeera news harrigan. i'm fully battle with the headlines on al jazeera france has further tightened to covey 19 measures. after reporting more than a $100000.00 cases. the government has asked people to work from home at least 3 days a week, but there'll be no curfew for new year's eve. in the us, the centers for disease control has shortened the recommended time. people should isolate when they've tested positive from 10 to 5 days for as in joe biden says, health care system is repaired for the soaring number of cases,

but has admitted the response hasn't been sufficient.
