ah ah ah, this is al jazeera ah, you're watching the news, our life from headquarters, and how i'm getting that coming up in the next 60 minutes global condemnation after the military and burkina faso the poses the presidents accusing him of failing to stop attacks by armed groups, russia as jailed kremlin critic election of only in some of his allies to witness list of terrorists. china order is mass cove in 1900 testing and parts of aging

after rise in infections just a week away from the winter olympic games. the world's biggest telescope arrives at its destination 1500000 kilometers away from earth in its journey to study our universe. in for to tragedy overshadow the football of the africa nations. at least 8 people are killed in a stadium. crushing cameron is fans gathered. watch that team play, but at the latest from this hour ah, welcome to the news our, the un secretary general antonia good terrorist has condemned the military coup and berkey faso crowds gathered in the capital was due to celebrate, after a group of soldiers announced on state television, the removal of presidential cup, or a military say the government failed to contain armed groups that have killed thousands

of people. of the crew. leaders have suspended the constitution and they've imposed a nighttime curfew. let's get an update from nicholas hock. nicholas is joining us from the car. so over in burkina, faso nicholas, the country is waking up to the 1st full day off, effectively a new military regime in charge of the country. tell us what you're hearing about the situation on the ground from your sources. so during right now in walk to do in the capital, there's a protest being held in support of this military coup and in support of the new strong man. this new tenant, colonel paul, he that me bay who seems to be the man now in charge of burkina faso still no news of the elected democratically elected president hawk. hey, there was this cryptic tweets that was sent hours before the cooper leaders to,

to the national television to announce that they had taken over power. and then there was a hand written note to release to the public where huckman callaway announced that he was resigning from office. there's been international condemnation from the un to the you. and now from the french president emanuel my call, who condemns the military coup and asked for the immediate release of how come our way, of course, for the french. this is a particularly difficult situation. they have troops on the ground in walker do special forces under the operation saber that are operating, hands in hand with bertina foxes forces to defend attacks from arm groups link to al qaeda. and i thought during so nicholas on the issue of security, i mean the military took over accusing the president of not doing enough to fight some of the arm groups in the country. so does this mean now their control with their control? they can go forward and prove they can be trusted to bring security to the country

. you have to remember the context in which is happening. i mean democracy in bertino fossil is just a bleep in its history. there has been series of military takeovers and hook marquetto as rules. during that time, there's been just a growing and intensifying of attacks. 1.5000000 people display 2000 killed. most of these people that are being displaced are children. people that are out of school and most of the people that are are doing these attacks. and i'm thinking for to the attack that happened insole on where a 150 people were killed in a market or also children. there's a sense from the security forces that they were not given the means to defend the integrity of the country. in the statement, the cool leader said the decision to the decision that comes from, from this notion to set back burkina back on track to protect its sovereignty. the sovereignty of the nation is that state. that's why the military have taken over.

that's what they're saying. and what they want is more means and you have to remember what happened in november, which was a turning point, the attack. and enough that where soldiers were attacked by our booth affiliated to al qaeda had gone 2 weeks without food rations that didn't have any arguments to deal with that threat. now the question is there and now is, will this military coup ends in military now? have the support of western forces? no, to be friends that are key to the fight against arm groups in the region during ok . thank you so much. nicholas talk for that update from the car on the situation over and burkina faso will now take you to the ground there and let's speak to some magnetic who's joining us on the phone from the capital one to do sam, tell us what you're seeing on the ground, i believe you're at a rally and supports after military takeover. yes, i'm in raleigh right now and exactly. i just wanted to take over and it was supposed to start now, but it looks like it started an hour before because there's lots of people you're

gathering glowing corn. there are a chanting, pumping in the air. i get to feeling that the conflict. 2 even bigger as the day goes on, people last night after the announcement was done with very much support to take over and it looks like that is carrying into today. so does the could you say whether that support extends right through the country? people i spoken to in the summer region in the north also it rally in today. i spoke to some some people i know in dory. they're also going to go out today. so it sounds like it's definitely wide spread across the country in other cities. it just seems like something people have warning for some time. frustration has been growing at the government inability to handle the spreading threats by the military, by civilians. and to the seen, a lot of people said, you know, this is a long time coming. it should have happened steamer and they said that the country just needs a change, and this is a change that they're looking for. so any word from the deposed president?

we haven't heard from him. there was a letter of resignation that is circulated that appeared that has his signature and he said that the best interest of the country, he was fine, but no one has seen him. any of them did any public appearances. and it says that they have to and that he's in the safe place, but it's unclear as to where he is right now. okay, sound. thank you so much. make reporting from well go do now, russian authorities have added jailed kremlin critic alex in a volley and some of his allies to which the list of terrorists and extremists, moscow band of all these political network as extreme as last year during the sweeping crackdown allies including leo of symbol, we're also added to that list, while leona volk cove and ivan, southern of were added earlier this month. all 3 are outside russia at the moment. meanwhile, a new shipment of aid from the united states has arrived in ukraine. the pentagon says it's also put 8 and a half that was in troops on high alerts. it says they're prepared to deployed,

if needed, along with other nato forces in eastern europe. this comes as fears continue to grow for possible russian invasion of ukraine. in some cases, some of these forces were already on a heightened posture, readiness to deploy posture, and the secretary decided to make it even more short term even more. so in some cases, units would go from say, 10 days prepared to deploy. now there at 5 days, let's discuss all things about that. russia would probably falcon, how're, he's a defense in military analysts. he's joining us by sky from moscow. thanks for speaking to us on the i'll just renew our obviously, we'd like to get into the tensions because of russia and ukraine. but 1st i do have to ask you about in a volley. this news breaking just a short time ago that russian authorities have added the jailed, crumbling critic collection of all the, to its list of terrorists and extreme as i wonder why a moscow would do this. now, considering tensions are running so high because of the ukraine situation. well,

i believe yes, this, there could be a connection there. of course he is, organization has being already listed banned as extreme, less than that i have to attendance for abroad. i have been bred even the status of extremists and terrorist amount. the 2 assets will be frozen, then also more much more importantly he will not be eligible for parole because right now his job on minor offense, actually pantry stuff, but it's on the business kind of for regularity. but now he has a much more serious status. and when right now the tensions are really getting higher and higher. there's the threat of confrontation, open confrontation with the west. very important for the suppression, aside to keep it under wraps. he was the person who managed, organized really serious street protests and know at west street protests

and the war movement when russia goes into a confrontation with the west coast is fast, already confrontational. the west western protest advise me right now will not be that important when they're a smart race about what they are into. that western countries are quite angry and upset at the situation over ukraine. so wasco must know that this move over and evolved the is going to anger them even more. well, yes, the move is going to anger the more but when they're more kind of issues of less than that right now on the ball that nobody needs. not that important, he's going to be most likely footnote in the present negotiations, rush of the west register, it's disapproval, right? and then, but the real negotiations will be about war and peace. i believe our negotiation

going to be the think. i mean, if you look at the maneuver, it's on the ground right now when it comes to ukraine. you have russian troops, of course, on the border. now, the pentagon put 8 and a half 1000 troops on high alerts. what do you see as the most likely course of action from the russian side when it comes to ukraine? what would you bring right now? the last news coming up today. oh, so is that the russian pro russian authorities in the boss, which of course are under russian for control. i saying that the opinions are, are planning an attack at the worst situation that ukrainian forces are going to attack them. and then what time we that there can be increased fighting in dunbar and then russia could move in to stop this. fighting as dc parents are just to push the ukrainians back. so back right now seen as

a very serious possibility. i got to ask you how this is all impacting putin domestically in russia because at least the latest, the latest pull that i have seen, which is from the living center. but this was back in october. it found that 53 percent of responded saying they trusted putin and that in fact is down from 71 percent. so how is this all been being seen domestically for him? well, there's actually here because confrontation with the west and when they're a real confrontation or war possible war with your brain is not want to rush and people really want, but those certain affective kind of routing around the flag in the time of crisis. but there is a lot of fear and the lot the people who are afraid, the war dance and many hope that this is just a kind of diplomat big brack maggard with a high polish take game that this is brinkman's ship. and that there will be no war

and there's a lot of comments about the so be no war. there's rejection of this kind of a possibility of war and no one wants it. ok, thank you so much for speaking to us from moscow pebble falcon. our thank you. once more had on the algebra and is our including the u. k. prime minister board johnson faces allegations have yet another party during lockdown even closer to home. and then sport adult. save on track when brand number 21 action and i'll throw it open is on the way a little later with jump. ah, the 1st to 1000000 people in beijing has been ordered to get tested for covered 19 . the decision came after a series of outbreaks ahead of the winter olympics next week. those in beijing neighborhoods considered high risk for infection,

have been told not to leave the city. katrina hughes says the outbreak is bad news for china's leaders. this is not the picture they would have wanted so close to the went again to opens and only 10 days. but we've had reported in china 3400 cases around about since the beginning of december. this outbreak has spread to 6 regions, including some major cities such as shanghai and change. and but of course, what is really alarming authorities is these clusters now in the capital beijing. now there were 2 separate clusters that they've been trying to get under control. the 1st was about 6 cases of the highly infectious on the con variant. now authority say that they have seemed to contain that. but what they are still struggling to really fight is this cluster of the delta variant, which seems to center around a cold food storage plant in the district of fung tie. now, the 2000000 people living in fung tied district have been asked on tuesday to underground to undergo

a 2nd round of mass testing. they're not allowed to leave their homes unless they can show a negative curve and test result. but the anti us, if you really is on high alert, other districts are also asking residents to get tested just as a precaution. our team here engaging, were asked all get scrambling, get some kind of a test earlier today. even though we live on the other side of the city and they're really strictly enforcing things like mosque wearing scanning of health codes and a new measure that they've put in place. so that if you go to a pharmacy and you buy any medicines that are related to headaches, sore throats, fevers, or allergies. it will be noted in a database and you will be asked to immediately go get a covered 1900 test. hundreds of business owners and south korea have shaved their heads to protest against corona virus restriction damaging trade. restaurants and shop owners have to limit the number of vaccinated customers to fix at a time. the infection rate there has risen to a record high with cases topping more than a 1000

a day. for the 1st time. the u. k. prime minister is facing new allegations. he violated covered 1900 lockdown rules. their reports, boris johnson's wife threw him a surprise birthday party during the 1st lockdown in june 2020. johnson's office says it was a brief gathering, but lasted less than 10 minutes. the prime minister is under pressure after a series of revelations about lockdown breeches. that's week to under simmons. he's joining us from london for more on this story. so andrew, another party, how damaging is this one? that's another party, this time, a birthday party. and this is a potentially damaging, like all the rest of the parties in downing street added to it all is an investigation now being announced by the metropolitan police of london crescent dick the commissioner as before, a committee of the london assembly. and she has announced that she will be investigating evidence passed on by the cabinet office,

whether this came from sir grey. the civil servant in charge of the investigation into these parties is unclear. but right across the board, there is annoyance or anger, or not only that amongst the public, but also the media. they will, is really rarely out of the newspapers. the headlines once again with boris johnson on the front page fury. fresh outrage described here by the or a center of left her paper. the guardian showing this picture of boris johnson with a birthday cake. not the birthday cake. this is a birthday cake from a school which was given to johnston, apparently on the day. that's june the 19th 2020 in the 1st locked tao. this is the right leaning daily mail. again though, going with this list for photos slash to crossover newspapers talking of a new storm. so, boris johnson has got a lot of work to do and the,

those around him in trying to defend his actions. he was apparently only briefly at this so called party, it was brief and they've sang happy birthday in the cabinet room downing street denies. it was his wife who organized the party. they say it was an official who did it, and it was very brief. and boss jones was on in there for 10 minutes. but this police, this coincidental. but an announcement about the police inquiry is very relevant. an ups the ante against him at a time when he was pushing and all directions with attempts to defend himself in all quarters, attempts to persuade em. bees not to vote against him in a vote of confidence that could take place. yeah. okay. could be a critical week for the time being andrew, i'll let you go for now. thank you so much. andrew simmons, a reporting from a london because will take you back to you, russia and ukraine. and of course, there are reports that and fears rather than continue to grow if a possible russian invasion of ukraine. let's find out what's happening at the

border and bringing her dr. hamid. she's joining us from of disco that is an eastern ukraine. in fact, her that tell us what you are seeing where you are. well actually we're just a few 100 meters away from the frontline we were, we just came back from there. and that frontline, really you have the ukranian forces and the m, the, the is the poor russian forces are basically a 100 meters away from them. 8, they've dug in trenches. they're quite fortified these trenches. i, i did ask really the, the soldiers, how did they feel about the russian invasion? they said they didn't know if wasn't, if it was going to happen, but may be different from what they heard last time i was in this area is that they're saying that they are ready at this time. now we are, if you look around me here we are in the industrial area. so just at the edge of aviva, this place has been completely destroyed into battles for the airport of the nets,

which is only about 5 to 7 kilometers away from here on this all happened in 2000 in 2015. what my apologies. we have lost our connection to her that she was reporting from easter and ukraine, giving a sense of what's happening right at the border. we will move away from her job and how me and tell you about what's happening in australia. because more than 20 australian sailors on a military, a vessel, in fact, on its way to toner of tested positive for over 19, the pacific allan nation hasn't reported any infections so far. the government is worried about the flow of aid. also bringing an outbreak of co with 19 tongue as dealing with the aftermath of a devastating volcanic eruption on toonami. more than a week ago. wayne hay reports from new zealand. the h. m. a s. adelaide left australia on friday,

carrying much needed aid supplies to tong up. but as the ship near its destination, the australian government confirmed there had been a coven 19 outbreak on board, or can report to the to 23 personnel on hi to myers allied to which the party brisbin a matter of days ago have been, have tested positive for with cove ignorance on their, of those people obviously, and others on board who are in oil. why should the moment tongue it desperately needs outside assistance after the volcanic eruption and soon army more than a week ago. but doesn't want to risk an outbreak of coven 19 brought by 8 workers. it's insisting that all supplies must be delivered contactless. at this stage, the adelaide will complete its mission. as some communication is restored and toner, more images are coming out showing how devastating the disaster was. these are from the island of no mac up one of the closest to the volcano, and one of the most effective. the red cross estimates waves as high as 15 meters

smashed into num, luca and nearby islands. really, nobody knew that there was a wave coming. i'm so we are in every household that was on the road like we just shouted out soon army soon army you know get to higher ground. most people here have been moved to the main island of toma top oo. they're a long, clean up as underway and power has been restored, but livelihoods in this tiny island nation will take a long time to rebuild. my other bakery when i called eva opens. now, because of the ash in the bakery, my whole tongue is economy was already in trouble before the disaster. now, the outlook is even more grim and basic supplies may become hard to get when we're talking about crops. and it was severely damage due to the dust covering the farms. a yan and the crops you managed to survive. you with our,

our shoot, think what a school we're talking about. t corned beef or, and at 2 in the short term assistance will continue to arrive for the tongue ins will need long term help to rebuild and recover. wayne, hey, al jazeera toner museums. nearly 10000000 students in columbia have returned to in person classes after 2 years of disruption, but it coincides with record corona virus infections nationwide, under surge and daily deaths on a syndrome. catchy report from the capital of boca no, much from fair schools across most at columbia. open their doors on monday, receiving all of their students for the 1st time since the start of depend damage for friends and classmates. long separated a day to rejoice with him because i went up with not them went to the truth, as you don't learn much at home. it's not the same as being in class with teachers

that can answer your doubts. and i miss being with my friends having somebody to share a joke. an activity schools in latin may have been closed for an average of 231 days longer than any other part of the world. and many lower income students have been particularly affected by the lack of internet connection or computers at home for working parents like single mama to karen could data. the reopening couldn't have become sooner and i couldn't be happier. i work and had to stop to take care of the kids, my daughter last year because we only have a cell phone at home. so my son was in 5th grade and my daughter in 1st class is at the same time. so i had to sacrifice a younger one. it's been hard. the reopening is happening, despite the countries experiencing another major surgery covered cases. some cities postponed reopening schools for a week as they pushed to increase the number of vaccinated food in that in the

capital. but the reopening went on as planned, at least 64 percent of public school students have received. at least one don't have direct seen. or you want to me off today is much more than simply returning to face to face schooling. it's the beginning of a new form of life and education. we all need to learn. it's the beauty of education. both climate change on the pandemic forces to live and learn in new ways that many professors and unions remain weary of the decision. saying little has been done to deal with overcrowded classrooms, lack of infirmary, and promised hygiene kits in many public schools. in the last, within a do you think it's evident that all the by security talk has little support in reality. if you look at the, the crowning or the students in a small space, it's dangerous for them. and for us, we're on one hand with satisfied that we continue to wire for the epidemiological

situation with the government says it will closely monitored the impact of the reopening an infection data that that schools will not close again for the joy of friends and colleagues. finally reunited allison the and dizzy and with that still had on this hour 20 years after sierra leone civil war. there has been some progress with the country remains one of the poorest in africa and, and sport when a cycling is top writers is seriously injured in a training crash. details on the way with jim. ah, this was snow joke. hello everyone. great to see you parts of athens, depending where you were picked up to 30 centimeters of snow. i brought this city to a standstill. it's a public holiday there to day,

hoping that people will stay home. although snow clearing operations are underway now for it stumbles european airport. so it's dumble. have a la monet over the past 2 days more than 20 centimeters of snow. a has fallen, so fights were canceled there. now the shield of snow is over southern areas of turkey. it's given us a dustin in antalya, but the energy will slam into the la bands. so we've got snow. i to come for syria and lebanon. central parts of europe right now, cloud draped over this area as snow for eastern portions of poland, pushing into western ukraine. this getting mighty close to keith to the northwest. some showers rolling across scotland steady stream of rain and snow for norway. and as we look toward the strait of gibraltar, we do have some showers rolling through here, also unsettled towards that south east coast of same so that weather maker the brought the snow for greece and turkey. it's dropping down whites, wendy, and cool conditions right across libya. and then we've got tropical cyclone ana, giving us some flooding brains for mozambique. right in to zim bob way on tuesday.

that's it. we'll see you soon. ah, the jenny, a jenny lou, one of necessity in 3 different missions that all facing the challenge of driving on nicaragua was unpaid, was at the mercy of its own predictable tropical weather. ah, risking at home with liquor rack. you asked me to say around noon news ah ah

ah ah, ah ah, hello again, that's helpful for me. i'll just renew our russian authorities of added jailed, crumbling, critical looks of only and some of his allies to its list of terrorist and extremist. moscow band of only political network as extreme as last year during a sweeping correct down. china has ordered 2000000 people in beijing to get tested for over 19 to cluster as have been growing in the city. government is concerned

ahead of the winter olympics next week. the military coup in burkina faso has triggered international condemnation with the u. s. e u. and echo off calling for the immediate release of presidents rocha, bori, a group of soldiers deposed on monday. his whereabouts are unknown sober can faso has had a series of military crews since gaining independence in 1900. 60 and other african country suffered violent transfer the power last year. in october to dawn's military, seize control and place, the prime minister under house arrest doesn't have been killed since then during mass protest against the power grub. last september, soldiers in guinea, overthrew presidents off a condo and dissolve the constitution. in may, molly's vice president arrested the president prime minister on defense minister in the 2nd 2 there in 9 months. also in may, a military unit in his air made a failed to 10 days before the inaugurate of fits president and an april charged

president who had ruled for 3 decades was killed while visiting soldiers fighting rebels and, and he was replaced by his son. let's talk about all of this with or annella mother on. she's the head of the program at the institute for security studies. she's joining us by scott from bama co. thanks for your time with us. and i'll just 0 so far. so just the latest and a long list of military coups for, in fact, in the past year in western central africa. i mean, this is a broad question to you. i know, but what is driving these coons well, each and every one of these had a very specific national context, right? so in the case of book, you know, this should be treated within the broader cream or a country that has been struggling with widespread insecurity, with many trying to prices leading to frustrations both on the side and, and on the in population decide about, you know, the notion,

the idea that the city government was simply incapable of dealing with this complex . so in each country we have very specific national reasons. but i think at the regional level what, what we're seeing also is, you know, that are proliferation of these to replay press. no way i e e d satisfaction about about democracy in about the current political systems which had so far beyond, mainly to, to respond to the needs and expectations of the company i did. these needs are for security specifically in the case our book, you know, whether it's about ensuring the possibility of an open political space with power operations. like one of the case in are other examples. how do you explain the,

the fragility of democracy in these countries? well these i think, would go back to the way the national government and sisters were billed in the 1st place. so looking at franklin, west african countries in particular, countries make money, booking, or any there has been quite a strong history. are essentially cutting and pasting story to model, especially the french model, which happens to be very specific in, in a design and not really mean a local context. and then are extremely formalized in the needs of societies that are not that formal a extremely centralized, a number of dysfunctions over the years have, have not really been corrected. so what you're saying is,

it is the legacy of colonialism now that we are seeing in some of these countries in the effect that colonialism has had on these countries. but let me ask you this, then since you brought up the french, i mean, how would you describe the way the international community has dealt with? the coups that we've seen over the past year at least has been effective. so actually i wouldn't say that it's just the legacy of the colonial, tiny design. a national institution is still that, but i mean, i've been 60 years since since the standards became independent. so there were opportunities to review this, use them, which for various reasons because we're not actually. so you are now coming to your next question about what the reaction of international community in general

and the way some particular to the school has been in the in the pastor. they have been better. right. so we have seen quite strong reactions. i've kind of come to the nations against a in math, which happened in august 2020. when the 2nd, if you so the may 2021. but currently in traveling status, where, where the death of the previous president led to the for the station and we have some very new to push back. this has created the notion that there was a sort of double standard being applied to critic norms for further. we need their i mean they're pretty busy, right. ok, we thank you so much. or anela motor on for speaking to us from about miko and giving us that contact. thank you. now was

a war infamous for its cruelty mutilations and child soldiers paid for by exports of so called blood diamonds, mines by slave labor. it's 20 years since the end of the civil war and tyranny own to recovery. their recovery has seen some progress on reconciliation. but as much as it is, reports in the capital free town, despite vast mineral riches its 8000000 people remains some of the poorest in africa. this factory on the outskirts of frito is one of dozens of small and medium industries that grows from the ashes of several young civil war. it refines an export to pump oil and byproduct. and in the past 2 years has been able to expand its reach to markets in west africa and asia. 45 percent goes in the local market and the balance we are exporting to countries like gun on synagogue ha beer you would like to go to more and more countries. the government says focusing on

the country strengths is key to industrial growth. and one of the areas which we have tried to focus on is i called to because our culture is one area where we can have a whole lot of raw materials for industry development. but recovery school on many fronts, from rescuing the economy to tackling corruption and reconciling it's b, one to one on the juices jerica has his hands chopped off by rebels. children the war because of the truth requires this commission that we will forget and we will forgive, but we will never forget because we are there in the day of the house of day activities, which was not doors 11 years of civil war killed at least 50000 people enforced half a 1000000 from their homes. one of the bloodiest conflicts when rebels attempted to overthrow the government, as well as rape, mutilations and forced use of charged soldiers. fighting was often founded by so

called blood diamond mind with slave labor. one of the copper bottles of the 70 or civil war was 41. what separate concludes, but the local office. i've been in control of the you stop result. i tend to west this moment and the bridge over there, which is now called the piece bridge. done is reminders of some of the decor captive is going to be on rebels who fought in the war. also still struggling to dictate most of my colleagues, some of them are not going against will be willing to societies because while they have already been listed, they did accept the reading society articulate well like me, i guess i said this was cited as of the government admits the reconciliation process is slow and you want more speed. what on that is administer? shall i think we have address more throughout the recommendation of nor any other musician before before president you said earlier and has been stable politically

for the past 2 years. but divisions remain for now. the biggest concern for the government of citizens alike is competing corruption. improving infrastructure and reducing unemployment. all require a huge amount of money, something solely and doesn't have. despite its vast mineral wealth, it reese al jazeera freetown said earlier in part 2 or 4 theories of life in sierra leone, we look at the devastating ebola outbreak. how are victims faring now? and what lessons have been learned? if there's another outbreak that's on wednesday right here on just 0. so the world's largest, most powerful and most expensive space telescope has arrived at its final destination. that's one and a half 1000000 kilometers from earth. it's due to begin peering into the most distant regions of the universe. so scientists can study the birth of the 1st galaxies, reynolds, husband, and wife cathy almost

a month since its spectacular blast off from french guiana. the james web space telescope has travelled, one and a half 1000000 kilometers to its celestial observation. post were now in our orbital destination, and soon enough able to make amazing discoveries from its vantage point. web will train its huge light collecting mirrors to the farthest distances in the universe. it makes its observations not in the visible range of light, but in the infrared part of the spectrum that will enable it to essentially see through the vast clouds of dust and gas that obscure the view web will look back at over 13 and a half 1000000000 years of cosmic history to the origins of the very 1st galaxies formed after the big bang. that prospect of finding things that completely surprise us, that sort of change the way we understand the universe. that is what i'm most excited

about. with this telescope, the $10000000000.00 telescope unfolded it's complex array of mirrors, infrared cameras, specter graphs, and sun shields without a hitch because infrared instruments are extremely sensitive to heat. web will now spend several months cooling down to minus $233.00 degrees celsius. we expect the 1st science images from j s t to come back in about 5 minutes, so be getting excited, getting ready for those to come back later on this summer. and we can expect really spectacularly beautiful images to come back from this awesome new telescope webs mission of discovery may last as long as 20 years. a pathfinder seeking answers to cosmic questions, alone among the silent stars rob reynolds alger 0. let's talk about this is francisco jagow. he's a lecture at the department of physics and astronomy university, college london. he's joining us by skype from london itself. good to have you with

us. so how much of a milestone is this? i don't know to put it in the context. i think it's a one of the major milestones in the history of science. actually, it's a major project for many, many reasons. they way you was conceived. all these thousands of people working together for decades to come to the city. imagine not the betty innovative technology to produce the science that we still love. you still dreaming about the science that we are going to receive? a major, major success, all funding the national collaboration between nasa isa and the canadian space agency. fantastic collaboration that has put this telescope in the right place at the right speed one and help me to get up there. so way for my single rocket that lunch, that is absolute position from the from isa that was off. i'm plastic thing that, that will increase the lifetime of these are, these are slow, it's reached its destination. as you're saying from what i understand,

the exploration work won't begin for another 5 months. what will take place in these 5 months? it's so it's quite interesting process actually the, the telescope is cooling down at the moment these about minus 200 degrees c has to walk to minus 240 something either is calling bow just possibly i see the read the heat out into space. he needs to be cooled down because when you upset, i mean the program, you know, the, the heat becomes light. the, you have heat around you, you are flowing to telescope with like the other ones. so it has to be very cold. that captains within several weeks or so months to, to reach that temperature. but most importantly isn't the mirror we saw the middle of the blowing. but all those 18 mid rolls are not exactly a line. they have to be aligned to a procedural fact and then thousands of the thickness of our human hair. do we behave like a single mirror on that? she's already laborious process. you have to go mirror one by one on that we fake

or 7 months as long as we said on kid, we got the fence damage on the fence calibration images in a few months time. ok, we look forward to that francisco jenko. thank you so much for speaking to us from london. it's a pleasure. now, australia has paid $14000000.00 for the copyright of the aboriginal flag. so it was created in 1971 and has become the official flag of australia's indigenous communities. the artist who created at least the rights and would charge for its use. but organizations like the australian football league, use the flying, but refuse to pay for it. the minister for indigenous australian says, now the flag belongs to everyone. attorney in onus williams is an aboriginal community organizer. she says, overall, it's a positive development, but she's uncomfortable with the australian government owning the rights to an aboriginal flag. my 1st, scratchy, was, oh, i'm excited, right? but then my 2nd reaction was that i don't want to try and find that represent

that community. that flag was created out of protests and out of fighting against this institution is balance intrusion that occupied the land and now they own it. and i think, you know, i know the people who saw the campaign, i will when they had the face. and if from when, who were lacing the copyright from her house. and you know, i said with a bite, we should be able to use a flag. how one to i think it is fair that you know, the government can find that the actually represents. they all know that have the strength flag represents the represent. i really think that our community should i know the rock to it,

but anybody should be able to use it. and i think that it's really i'm really glad that he got money. but that because he's an average honor. and i just think that each of being it should be in the community and not because someone mentioned when they imagine in israel house why like writers. and it would be so infuriating. and i think that we need to be, you know, remember the strategy is the colony and on ac, the violence from african people every day. and they don't have the right to have a flag that represents still ahead on the al jazeera news hour will have the actions me australian open as the women's number one who's as through in front of her home fans. ah

ah ah ah

ah, a bit on the sportsman's he was drunk. thank you. during at least 8 people have been killed in a stampede during africa's top football tournament. dozens more injured in the crush of the africa cup of nations, game between host cameron and camaros. it happened outside a stadium north of the capital at yon day, alexia bryant reports, oh, desperate grief outside what should have been of fun that family evening at a football match. instead, this woman is crying out for her father and ask and god, why several people were killed when crowd surged at the entrance to the

africa cup of nations match between hosts, cameroon and cameras. i don't know what people behind you said push. i was among them and when i saw that i left to enter from the north west, they stayed there. and that's when someone left to open the barrier. so someone pulled it by push lock that some fell on top of others, but there were even babies in norway, bama there policy elsewhere metal. as the police closed the gate, a crowd of people came from behind and i was stuck in it. so i couldn't go back, i was below, and god spared me now gone. i didn't know correct. wow. people was seen lying motionless near an entrance to the stadium. one person mount next to one of the victims and appeared to be trying to resuscitate them. i just now there were 50 people, i saw nearly 50 people on the ground. the african for bull confederation says it's

investigating the incident. crisis talks are reported to have been cold. i've it wider security issues. a limit stadium can hold 60000 people. the capacities been limited to just 60 percent because of coven 19. that capacities increase to 80 percent when the home team cameron's indomitable lions play me. i can tell you that tonight. or there was absolutely more than 80 percent that the stadium that was nearly full on. i'm assuming that's because of the barriers and hold up, give sort of rustin ah, but from what i can tell you is that going into the stadium, there's a very serpentine corridor that's not very wide. it's maybe 2 or 3 meters and whips . and the keyboard room increasingly frustrated even about how cameron was meant to host africa, the biggest football tournament in 2019. but the event was taken away from them and handed to egypt after consent stadiums. well not ready for the games. there were question marks of about construction and security, i believe,

is the main stadium for the escal tournament. its a to stage 3 more games, including the final on february 6, alexia bryan al jazeera. let's bring an african footage on this. now i shall makisha. he was at the game. i shall. what more do we know about what went wrong? very. do you know what happened yesterday when we were inside the embassy and watching the game? we absolutely had no idea what had happened on the outside. it's just a few minutes. the end of the news started coming out. that's about people had died after you know, people were trying to get into the stadium. it's a 60000 seat back the, you know, people who believed that there were more people on the outside that wanted to watch me to the land and as they eventually won the game, the next game we're going to be into was so this was

the only people thing will not see you perhaps until maybe to make it to the final phrase that people have been injured. and 7 of those are very grave cases and the fact you won are minor. but these also b o died. i'm b, my son could you which is that perhaps you know, one thing to support the land but suddenly faster and you know fat for african football in. ready general, absolutely. is there a concert this can happen again, given the same stadium? is that the highest, the final we heard one of your colleagues talk about how narrow some of the entrances are into the stadium. could cause more concerns. well when you look back at the opening march between the camera and,

and looking at the work so many times, but the security was a great because and he's exigency phobia was going to attend the game. i cannot say really that the same security was at the same. yes indeed, but going forward it looks like the conservation of african people who do everything together. we can the local the next up. anything but do you think there's any danger of the tournament being postponed? or cancelled absolutely, no, i don't think the will be canceled. i think that begins will proceed already. and i mean, do whatever right now that the security that just for my stadium has already been increased wear tomorrow, the ivory called on egypt just to make sure that's absolutely nothing like this happens again, a little crowd control of the security company. he's having meetings to make sure

that they should come again. thank you for joining us and talking about such a subject. well, this is how camry books that plays in the quarter finals. they went to, up with 20 minutes to go against corals. the competition had top scores about that we were caught with his 6 go, making him assess, play in 24 years, the school more than 5 at a single african condiment. despite conceding a late on a camry held onto when 21 gaby weights in the last 8, that's after the twins ab continued their brilliant run that by the think, any one mill mussa barry with the winning goal on 71 minutes guinea came place, an equalizer and stoppage time, but gabby's keep up, put off a great safe to ensure his site would be going through. and they're still unbidden . in the competition. for my daughter, france, when i gone banal, has had surgery following

a serious training crash at home in columbia. the 25 road hit a stationary bus at a training camp around 50 kilometers north of boca talk to say he broke his leg, injured his spine and suffered blunt a chest trauma is in your famous say he was conscious on arrival hospital, but now became the 1st and latin american when the tor into 2019 the youngest one since 19 o 9 and he won his 2nd grand total. the jared italian last year australian open tennis organizes have reversed that ban on fans wearing t shirts to support chinese punch. why? last week, supporters in melbourne will off to remove t shirts, saying what is punctuating. because political clothing and banners are prohibited, pung, vanished for weak software, accusing a chinese official a sexual assault. and although she has reappeared many a still concerned about her well being to the action and rough found as our veins on track to win a record breaking 21st grand slam title, he came through a tough match against the dentist shop of olive the canadian, who was just it too,
