those apple is cheaper than the scrat one. but it's also smaller it lonely, working combination with the other already over crowded old one. and it's far from the capital. it serves. have a look at the distances from our office in the center, his the existing apple than the one the president scrapped than his new one. and worse, the transport links to get their up finished. you can see that the most way that should mean that people can get to the airport make quicker is still under construction. there's also going to be a light trying to ferry passengers there without isn't finished yet either. and apparently will be at some point next year. so this is still very much a project that is under construction. meanwhile, that means travel times more than 2 hours from the center in traffic. some are also worried about who built and who will partly run the pull the army. they're involved in almost all this governments mega projects and have

a lot of influence with the president's many funds. that's what's the launch would just as exuberant as he was actually to put up a ha, it's a 1st class airport. i know a lot of them. and this is at the same level as the shanghai airport. oh many mike differ, but at least it's up and running. now the jury's out when, if it would just be an unloved 2nd option to the main older airport. we're philippe on hill is really takeoff. john holman, out visited mexico city. soaring temperatures are scorching some of the coldest places on the planet temperatures in antartica. we're 40 degrees higher than normal in the past few days. that's in the region, the supposed to be entering it's winter season or the other end of the planet. the arctic is 30 degrees celsius hotter than it usually is at the time of year. signed to say the extreme weather's both historic and deeply troubling. dr. jonathan villa

well just happens, especially in the case of the antarctic. this was something that kind of changes the way we think of the sort of climate. now, our human history of observing whether it's artic is limited. so it's difficult to say whether this is a sign of things to come, or just a rather freakish events that just will be very interesting for a sciences to study going into the future. and finally, astronomers have had a major milestone in their search for alien worlds. lots of 30 years of looking, they've noticed covered more than $5000.00 so called ex or plants was right side our own solar system. but only a tiny percentage of them are bulky, like not says it could be billions more out there waiting to be discovered. ah, this is all. these are the.
