6:02 pm
a resolution to extend cross border, a deliveries into syria as last rebel held region, but only for 6 months. permission for shipments from turkey, the northwestern syria expired on monday. after russia vetoed an attempt to renew the mandate for a year. millions of people rely on the essential supplies that pass through the bible. how of crossing? we've heard repeatedly from the un and from n jose that renewal for 12 months was necessary to provide operational certainty so they could prepare to meet that humanitarian need, especially during the harsh months of winter. last friday, russia stopped this from happening with today's vote. innocent syrians can breathe no sigh of relief, the suffering and the uncertainty goes on without the confidence of at least 12
6:03 pm
months. un agencies and antonio's risk being caught in a perpetual cycle of pre positioning and contingency planning. let's bring in our diplomatic editor james bases joining us from the united nations to tell us what change james to allow this resolution to go ahead. but what changed is it was the only option available to most members of the security council, cuz this option was there effectively. on friday, there were 2 options put before the security council on friday. one of them was renewing the cross border authorization for 12 months. that is what the u. n wanted, that's what most humanitarian agencies operating in syria wanted. one country didn't want that. russia and russia used it's vito to block that being authorized. russia also on friday, introduced a resolution that would authorize it for just 6 months, and that was rejected by every one other than russia and china. and in fact,
6:04 pm
is that resolution that had to be re introduced today was a couple of slight changes. and that was ended up being supported by the security council, by problems in the security council. but 3 others. western members are permanent members. france, you can you ass, abstained. sometimes it tell us more about what russia has to say and where they would like to see the aides a go through well, russia would prefer and always had said it would prefer aid to come through damascus. russia reluctantly agreed in 2014 to this cross border aid. initially, there are a number of different border crossings where the aid could come into syria in the end, it was reduced in recent years to just bubble ha, just aid coming from that one border crossing from turkey into syria. and russia is really play hardball every single time that this has come to a renewal every year when it's come up to renew this resolution. and they've
6:05 pm
certainly cut it down to the one border crossing. they've now cut it down to just 6 months. and what's concerning for the un and $48.00 agencies as 6 months takes you to the beginning of january, the harshest period in terms of the climates of northern syria, the toughest time of the year. in terms of humanitarian aid and medical aid, going into syria that concerns very much the united nations. i spoke a short time ago to the u. n. sex gentle antonio terrace. he said that he remained hopeful that even though now they will have to be this drama again and another vote in the security council. in january. he was hopeful that they would renew it after the 6 month period for another 6 months, taking it again to next july. all right, and thank you so much as a fanatic editors in today's reporting from the un. well, the bible, how a crossing is a lifeline for millions of display syrians living in camps and the rebel held areas as you've been hearing it said, because of our glue reports on their plate from the turkish syrian border. yes,
6:06 pm
this is jamal ali and her disabled son have lived on the skin for internal, displaced people for 5 years, like many others and serious at le province. they rely on food and medical aid from abroad. the madness, 8th applies, that sometimes receive those 8 boxes and sometimes i sell it to buy bread or vegetables. i'm a widow with a disabled son. he needs medication. there's no one to help me. international aid is transported by road from neighboring turkey through the bubble have crossing every week. hundreds of 8 trucks crossed this order behind me into north, with syria, to help more than 4000000 serious have been displaced in their own country. the 8 accounts were up to 80 percent of their food supply. alert had the need is large. only international bodies like the u. n. can help to contin famines inside syria. the ukraine war has crushed out wheat and fuel prices and reduced donations. 8
6:07 pm
group say a fair and systematic a distribution is impossible without the un involvement. now when we don't want tell people to suffer a humanitarian catastrophe or famine, this possibility would cause a massive exodus to turkey. moscow has threatened to veto u. n. a deliveries from turkey since 2014, but there is no other viable alternative to the rabo have a crossing. and if it wants to be restricted agencies say, millions of lives would be at risk. see nam castillo al jazeera after turkey syrian border. let's bring in a former ambassador, nancy soto berg, who is joining us from costco. she's also the former us deputy national security advisor and for baset are to the united nations. welcome to al jazeera, thanks for your time. so as we've been hearing this resolution that has just passed is almost exactly like the resolution that russia had put forward just
6:08 pm
a few days ago in which some western countries were totally against. but now it's passed with a 6 month mandate. why do you think it's past and what's changed for it's a path? well, this is a life or death situation for millions of people caught in syria that can't rely on the government of syria for their help. but really, it's russia flexing its muscles, showing that it can still, i think it's a direct consequence of the efforts to isolate russia over its brutal war in ukraine. and this is one of their consequences. they don't care about human life and ukraine, and they all play with human lives in syria to make a point pretending that it has to make it more efficient and things like that. but what they're doing is, you know, playing, playing with human lives here. the fact that it will then be january in the middle, middle of winter when people really need to say it's just flex in their muscles because they're on the security council, they can play with the lives the serial. what about when the world they, i mean you're already efforts, right?
6:09 pm
with the russians say, i mean this, this violate theory and sovereignty. and what they say is that they're asking for the a to go through damascus and the government, they're the irony of the russians talking about sovereignty. and they have invaded ukraine's sovereignty and conducting a massive war. there is beyond the irony what, what this is is to try and protect millions of lives at risk in northern syria. the war is not completely resolved in terms of who controls that territory. and that's still a set of negotiations. their talks going on iran in the meantime until that issue is resolved that the international communities responsibility to protect those at risk and russia is playing with their law. what do you make of the response by the u. s. u k. in front to abstained from this boat vote, excuse me. what, what is the message that they're sending cross by abstaining the message?
6:10 pm
it's pretty clear that we don't accept russia's playing with the lives of syria. that should have been a year extension. it shouldn't have been anything but an automatic renewal assistance, which is purely humanitarian assistance to save lives and they extension is a statement they knew that the resolution would pass. so it's a statement of protest of russia playing with the lives and. ready the, this is a direct consequence of what's going on in ukraine and the international community led by the us and others to try and isolate russia, make russia pay a price for its blayton and unprovoked. busy invasion of ukraine, so this is unfortunately being played out on the syria theater. but the, which brings me to my next question. in fact, because i wanted to ask you as a former ambassador to the united nation, give us some insight into what would be going on right now. particularly in the, in the context of the war and ukraine that involves rush. i mean, how would you describe relations amongst the security council members?
6:11 pm
well, the way these are negotiate when i blew up on friday, when the russians vetoed the resolution, they're scrambling all weekend me to try and cover together an acceptable piece. there's lots of phone calls. these are not negotiated in new york to negotiate isn't capital, it's about what's acceptable. and when the russians came back and said 6 months, they thought, well, we don't want to spend too much time putting these lives at risk. let's take the 6 months and live to fight another day of the war and ukraine is still going on, and russia is still under intent sanctions. this will all be replayed out again in january. so it's, it's really some of the most intense negotiations over these types of efforts. and it's going to happen again in january. i'm afraid i know it might be difficult to tell right now, but do you expect that in january than this mandate is been renewed? and if so, for how long my guess is it's going to be another 6 months until things settle down
6:12 pm
in ukraine and then russia over time will hopefully come back into the fold of state that respects international borders and sovereignty. it will last so i think depend partly you've got to track what's going on in the war in iraq, but also what's going on in syria with the agreement on what's happening through this north has yet to be resolved. so i think it's going to take both tracks moving forward before this becomes non emetic renewal. again. thank you so much. nancy sentimental speaking to us from customer. thank you. plenty. morehead on the algebra news hour, including ukraine says it's distorted, russian ammunition demco and the southern regional person that's under moscow control. sure lank has former finance minister and brother of the president stopped from leaving the country. as anger rises against the powerful family force on the limpid champion, mo far says he was traffic to the u. k. as a child details coming up with joe
6:13 pm
ah, but 1st the euro hit parity with the us dollar and trading on tuesday before seeing a slight rebound. it's the lowest valuation of the currency since 2002. and it's being driven by fear of a global recession. investors are anxious about a lack of growth across the euro zone. they're also concerned supplies of russian gas might be cut because of the war in ukraine. natasha butler has more from paris for the year. it's been falling since the beginning of the year, but the 1st time in 2 decades, the exchange rate between the euro and the dollars pretty much the same. and there are a number of reasons for that high inflation, which is being fueled by the war in ukraine, added to that of course, ongoing concerns in europe as an energy supplies, as you're tries to win, is sell for fresh and gas,
6:14 pm
but is also concerned about russia cutting its existing gas supplies on top of that, the u. s. federal reserve typed up interest rates much faster than the european central bank. and all of that is meant that the dollar is much stronger. it's a much safer bet for investors, particularly a some analysts say that the euro could continue to fall in the coming weeks. craig airline as a senior market analyst that foreign exchange broker alonda, he expects the dollar to strengthen and the euro to weaken further in the coming months. the u. s. economy shown incredible resilience already and is expected to continue to do the same driven by a very strong labor market throw in as well. the father, the u. s. dollar is seen as more of a safe haven in times of turbulence, and we're certain, sees certainly seen turbulence across financial markets. currently. the, the, all of these factors are really supporting the green bar against many of the different currencies than you are the downside pressure on the euro, with the gas flows annual certainty that's creating the 10 they scheduled shutdown
6:15 pm
version gas through no stream warning the potential for that so last much longer is creating a huge cloud when certainty stop in europe from topping up it's reserves ahead of central to actually cold winter. all of these factors driving this, your dollar pair down to pirating continued to push it way below one. in the coming months. europe's been slower for 2 reasons. one is that it's economy is more fragile, you could argue, and i think we're certainly seen signs about already, people talking about a recession. the other is that inflation hasn't yet been as big a problem. you look at the headline number and sure you could say putting a false on target around 8 percent. my last me a master problem, but the underlying inflation days would show that a lot of this is energy important. inflation and supply side driven inflation still that we're not seeing the, the grain data that we are seeing in the u. s. and the u. k. for example, which is why the central bank is also being overlooked. and ultimately,
6:16 pm
it's just hard to ignore the fact even the in your area currently there's something needed to be done. and extraordinary measures of stimulus would just simply not justify this time. london busiest airport has announced that will limit the number of departing passengers to 100000 a day for the next 2 months before the pandemic, the average number of daily passengers at heathrow was more than double that. but authority, se airlines and ground staff cannot cope with the recent rise and passenger number . the limit comes into effect on tuesday and will last until september. lets speak to andrew carlton at charlton, excuse me, who is the managing director of education advocacy. he's joining us live from reading, thanks for your time with us on al jazeera. so tell us in practice how, how this actually works. well, normally what happens in the normal times, what happens is airports work out how much capacity can handle, how many passengers die flights. and i advise the airlines,
6:17 pm
and i do that about 12 months in advance. and so you need to see these, what are we watching? he is this happening in real life as the airlines in the airport suddenly high city, norma's surgeon passengers who want to travel after spending to ease logged out and locked down and, and people weren't prepared. but the airlines and the pool, it's one prepaid don't have to recruit it. don't have the staff really trying to sort of. so what's going to happen is by imaging the number of passages, the airport thinks that it's baggage systems and its ability to cope will be much better if it cuts against detector, mostly in the fight. so that sort of the market demand. so it's going to be very unpopular, right? but how does the throw, how does he throw actually monitor this? well, that he wanted to try monitors every flight. i know exactly which craft he's coming
6:18 pm
in. and so he try and of course they also charge per person july that had the so what they've done is written to a lines and, and told them, tell them that they must not authorize the various flights. generally going to wait a lines that have more than one, fly the die to particular destinations and place on the operate 12 flights and try to limit it that way at one level from the a line. so it's a gift because of course what they have to do, what they are allowed to help is if they use the number 6, they're offering limit, they can improve, the price is like an increase the prices. so be the, do you think that this is an effective solution to deal with all of the problems in the travel chaos that have been witnessed not only at heathrow, but obviously other airlines around the world will not only have tried by any means practically every year where if you look in your, in the united states in europe is a, is a good solution. it's an interim solution. it's better than the chaos we're
6:19 pm
currently seeing and better than the holidays that are being ro them. so it's very much an interim solution. i want it's clear that we need to get back to normal operations and stuff that no one was ready for this message when, when the patients will, over the, sorry when the, when the restrictions and the, and the health measures will lift it. and so it's, it's better than nothing that's a terrible, lots of, but it's better than nothing. and do you think that we're going to see this implemented in other airports across the world to? well, of course you said in your intro is to be put in your side. by definition, you have 3 flights of in a number of a portable, because flights from a truck. but yes, we've already seen this in amsterdam. we've seen the scene at get weak as well that hey tro, we've seen this at a number of other ports around your lot, mainly it's trying to has done this will touch lashley,
6:20 pm
the be happy to be going to some of these 1st and foremost. but it's, it's one, it's one, it's the only way i think open in the short term to, to the problem. all right, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for speaking to us from reading. we appreciate your time andrew charlton. thank you. ukrainian force and say they've destroyed a russian military, ammunition depot in the southern city of nova cove. in kennesaw region, some nearby residential buildings have also been damaged. keith has called on civilians to leave parts of the region as it plans to launch new operations to retake areas last to moscow. alan fisher reports from keith this see the ukrainians is the destruction of an army depot. it's thought us supplied. high marsh rockets were launched that the site in the russian controlled region of cash song, the ukranian c $52.00 russian soldiers were also killed. but the most go back to
6:21 pm
authorities claim it was a fertilizer store, and 7 civilians have died. i'll disease cannot independently confirm either claim pictures taken in the daylight give some idea of the damage caused. the u. s. has been rushing missile systems to ukraine, believing they can help push back russian forces. one us senator arge congress to same more and send them quickly when people understandably ask about our support for ukraine, our taxpayer funded aid to the tune of billions of dollars. they deserve to know that they're harder and taxpayer dollars have being spent wisely. in my view, that means many and on weapons like high mars, they're actually making a difference on the battlefield. the russians are believed to be in an operational pause in the east of the country, ready to pu sean, and take the rest of the don't boss region. the pause is to restock refueling re supply, but that becomes much more difficult if the ukrainians are able to target and
6:22 pm
successfully destroy ammunition dumps. some analysts say the rocket system could significantly delay russian progress. the ukranian president says he's glad to have them up and yell at the i want to thank the united states of america for its decision to provide ukraine with a new 400000000 dollar defense assistance package. additional high miles and other precision weapons allow us to take anti terrorist steps. they allow us to reduce russian strides with their missiles on our people. e act gentlemen. but the u. s. believes the russians are also restocking tumbling to the iranians for you. a v's are unmanned drones are ended, information indicates that the iranian government is preparing to provide russia with up to several 100. you avi's, including weapons capable, you avi's on an expedite expedited timeline. the u. s. insist moscow has failed in its main strategic objectives in ukraine. but those in the east are bracing themselves for
6:23 pm
a major russian offensive. that could come in just stays. alan fisher al jazeera cave, 3 foreigner is captured while fighting for ukraine will hear the results of their appeal against the death sentence within a month. last month and russian backed separate, discordant une ask found them guilty of taking action towards the violent overthrow of power. ukraine and natal, i say the men are prisoners of war and are entitled to protection under the geneva convention. jeffrey robert son is a former you and judge, and the 1st president of fits war crimes court and shirley own. he says the court antonietta could be in danger of committing a war crime. prison is a war. that means those court fighting for and not be opposing army must be treated humanely. they cannot be executed unless they've committed some specific crime. now these 2 englishmen were merely members of the ukrainian army and this quarter,
6:24 pm
legitimate court in which russia is responsible because in law or it's fine, have 2nd them today. and they'll be more, john is in a month who could confirm that sentence. and if they do, if they execute them, that will re, it's so a war crime which the judges and the prosecutors will be guilty. and of course, in breaking law or in but here floor apply. this become cruise in the world. this is an act of mud and nice judges by passing the day would be aiding and abetting murder. so if they ever venture to a country with which floor they will find themselves arrested and put on, try. ready for aiding and abetting, ensure lanka,
6:25 pm
basil roger packs on the brother of the president has been prevented from leaving the country at an airport in colombo. the former finance minister was set to travel to do by on tuesday, but airport staff stopped him after passengers protested sir lincoln's playing the raja pucks a family for the worst economic crisis in decades, sebastian has more from colombo. i'm around 100 meters away from the presidential residency and look at the queue of people trying to get in there being standing here for hours, some in the burning sun to get a glimpse of how president go to buy a box. i was living he and his family and they really came here from outside of colombo, from the whole up for 3 long to have this what they think once in a lifetime, opportunity to get a glimpse of the pallets, they think it could be the last day because they really hope that the official resignation of the president they've been calling for his resignation for
6:26 pm
a long time will really be happening on wednesday. well, once inside the year presidential residents, this is one of the main attractions in the fitness area and the swimming pool. and most people here have of course seen the images on t v. a people jumping inside the pool and they want to see it with their own eyes. at the moment nobody is jumping in because the water is not very clean, but they really want to see and take photos of where the presidential family was spending their time. and also enjoying life with golf course. for most people here, life has been very difficult in the last couple of months. fuel shortages, many people have been walking. you see hardly any car on the street now because of the fuel less shorter. they have had food insecure with the estimated around 5000000 people have shortages of food at the moment. i'm very upset about that for
6:27 pm
lanka. gama is going on all the money going to be some countries you must be know that her longer the people are longer people suffering here. very difficult to have a very hungry. well, it's a unique feat. people are having here at the residential residence and the main question on everyone's mind is who is going to be the next residence of this building. and when you ask people here, they say they have no particular name on their mind. but the most important thing is going to be fair and still ahead on al jazeera leaders, a pacific combination gather in fiji, but the suddenlink role of curry bus threatened to overshadow the stomach. you have just ordered the devil of an election campaign is in full swing in kenny, but the winner won't have an easy task. and in florida, major on the rookie grabbed his 1st from one, but in unusual fashion. ah,
6:28 pm
ah. you can still use hot, dry and dusty for most the middle east, and most of some of it was clearly a huge amount of cloud in the side. that was the monsoon trough breaking through. there often see it quite consistent. exactly, because it goes across into parts of africa as well when you get to in 2nd, that monsoon wind means salaries permanently cloudy, was drizzle. walden off for the next 3 months with the most that cloud disperses. we've seen some heavy rain recent dinner man, and that's showing itself now, showers in the mountains of yemen. otherwise the dust didn't extreme now, and the wind isn't particularly strong either if it is quite humid around counter, for example, as a result of that. but we've got more rain gathering in sudden pakistan which might make its way across to mom, maybe later on the weekend or next week. otherwise,
6:29 pm
did you spot any changes? probably not because there aren't any great changes to be quite honest. if you follow the rain, then it will be enhanced in ethiopia, sudan, maybe south sedan, central african republic. there has been a hit to a few, shall the south event. this rainbow move up in somalia might be good news for the whole of africa. but it's a little bit too little and too late to be quite honest. and that's more or less it apart from any rate on the coat of madagascar, and possibly most am be the rest of centrals of nascar. that's pretty dry. ah frank assessments, it sounds like you don't expect anything to change the problem in lebanon. it's actually structural lebanon needs, and you also contract in order for it to solve this problem. informed opinions, international communities on the goal is to create a government has no legitimacy in depth analysis of the days global headlines. this
6:30 pm
is going to be very hard to explain to the public that instead of pushing back, no, it's actually got 2 members. inside story on al jazeera, both janice and the police violently discussing price with these are some good tens of thousands of people try to flee. gobble, inspired to program, making welcome to generation chains, unrivalled broadcasting. white people did not want black children in the schools. we have to fight for al jazeera english proud recipient of the new york festivals broadcaster of the year award for the 6 year running. oh, a
6:31 pm
again, the stories on al jazeera, the tower. so you went through to council who popped the resolution to expand cross border, a deliveries to the last rental held area and northwest in syria for 6 months. earlier, russia vetoed an attempt to renew the mandate for a year. the euro hit parity with the u. s. dollar and trading on tuesday, that's the lowest valuation of europe currency in 20 years. it's driven by fear as if a global recession and uncertainty about energy supplies. london busiest airport as it now is that will limit the number of the party passengers to 100000 a day for the next 2 months. it follows weeks of travel chaos for travelers in the u. k. while the u. k governing conservative party has unveiled the time table to replace outgoing prime minister boris johnson. a new leader will be announced on september. the 5th 10 candidates are in the running after transport. secretary grant shops dropped his bid to support russia to not the former
6:32 pm
u. k. chancellor has officially launched his leadership campaign with a speech in central london, holborn, and has more now risha soon i showed, frankly why he's the front run. it was a clever address to the party faithful. he talked about needing to have a grown up conversation about where the conservatives are and where they're going. he also praised forest johnson and said he was a most remarkable man that we should soon i could have a match. and i think that goes to issue, still not recognizing that in certain quarters of the conservative party bought us johnson remains rather popular. so he's, he's hedging his bet, somewhat richly soon. that the other thing that he spoke about at length in that conference that he's just given is the fact that while other candidates are other than that they will immediately start cutting taxes. if they became prime minister . he is against the kind of fairy tales as he put it. he said needed to be honesty and responsibility, not fairytales. and he did say he has
6:33 pm
a traditional conservative values that is addressing of a criticism that he's had, which is by putting up taxes in the way that he has a chancellor. and by expanding the schemes, for example, and increasing the size of the state during the pandemic, those are kind of not really traditional conservative things to do. but he's emphasizing that actually he does have consider traditional conservative values. so he's putting his flag in the ground with that. moving on to other world news and a private funeral has been held for japan's prime ministers. so ave people lined the streets of tokyo to pay their final respects as his body was taken from the jo . g temple to the funeral home bay was shot while campaigning at an election rally on friday. toni chang has more from tokyo, amid tight security, japan's prime minister whom you can she to arise for the funeral oceans of bay. the former leaders were also in attendance at this private ceremony for family and
6:34 pm
friends. but the assassination of japan's longest serving prime minister has stunned many. and some of the world's most senior diplomat traveled to deliver their condolences in person. i shared with the, the prime minister letters to the family from prison bible, and we simply want them to know that deeply feel their loss on a personal level as well. mr. funeral ceremony was performed inside. so did you temple large crowds queued outside to lay floral tributes? oh, i think there was a sense of security when he was prime minister. we felt safe with him in charge of the country and i supported him. so this really is quite unfortunate. who the wrong, he was my favorite prime minister. so i came here to say good by many others had come to do the same thousands of people waiting quietly impatiently to pay their final respects to japan's former prime minister in the army. the air heavy with the
6:35 pm
sent the floral tribute, save wrought, but also a sense of disbelief. the man who loomed so large over japanese life more than a decade. so suddenly and violently gone was the ceremony concluded, a herse containing obeys body, turned on to the streets, spontaneous applause and cries, as mourners bid him farewell. the funeral cortege past the offices of the liberal democratic party, which he led to 3 election pictures and a brief stop outside japan's diet, the parliament for lawmakers to pay their respects. finally, driving past the office of the prime minister that he occupied longer than any other. now leaving for the last time, tony chang al jazeera, took you summer he containing that she served as special adviser and speechwriter fortune's obey. he says the former prime minister was held in high regard i,
6:36 pm
japan's allies mister robert, especially when he came back in office. the 2nd time after recovering from his long illness of all sorts of politeness was very much a determined conviction. politician. determined to give clearly defined goals for japan's future. it's been 3 me rewarding. i have to say to work with such an individual whose com pass morrow come pass. he's very much unshakable. we doubt japan's security bill. the shins arrive is spent so much amount of his political capital. you couldn't build an adequate amount of deterrence as against japan's neighbors, russia, north korea, china. why should take into consideration this countries faced with those 3 on
6:37 pm
democratic nuclear powers? are studying prime minister malcolm turnbull and scott morrison. both called machines, a lab, a visionary leader, and the mentor to the lobby has built very good rapport. not only with donald trump, but also 3 successive presidents of the united states. to prime ministers of india, 3 prime ministers of the. okay. so his focus attentions on the big picture sort of issues has earned reputation from among his g 7. colleagues. i'd have to say now says james web space telescope has captured a distinct signature of water on a distant planet. the discovery is the most detailed fits kind to dates. scientists have been analyzing the 1st full color images from the telescope. the picture is taken by the james web space telescope are brimming with thousands of distant
6:38 pm
galaxies and stars. we are now going to be determining things that we don't even know what the questions are that we ought to ask. and so it's one of these great engineering feats, not just for us, but for humanity, for planet earth, for the citizens of planet earth. so let's zoom in for a closer look at the james web telescope. the $10000000000.00 equipment is the largest and most powerful telescope to be sent into orbit. it's about one and a half 1000000 kilometers away from earth and his targeting distant galaxies, bright nebula, and a far away giant gas planet. so the orbit location was chosen because it's the optimum temperature to view the unit for us and infrared, the wavelengths we feel as heat. and the look into the universe is a look back in time. the james webb,
6:39 pm
his mission is to view the stars and galaxies that 1st emerged after the big bank, where the 13500000000 years ago. it will also investigate the potential for life in other galaxies. let's speak to tom, go. she's a space scientist who works on nasa mars missions. he's joining us from them by welcome to the al jazeera news hours. so we're just now getting the 1st full color images of course to be released as a result of the james web telescope. are they all that you expected them to be and more, or how they exceeded your expectations? well, they have exceeded my expectations. i would say about the 1st of all from the james very telescope. let me just go back into the why this is so important. so human beings, although we are so technologically advanced, we are really very primitive in terms of the struggle. so giving you an example, the voyager mission, which left the $976.00,
6:40 pm
it's still radiating. it took us like maybe more than 40 years to get to the beyond the sort of system the cig lifetime to from that by did mission to or is just 20 hours. so think that the universe is 13000000000 light is big and there is no way you can scan in their lifetime or with their machines. explode you too much. so the only way we have is to use the telescope and, and that is what exactly this is. and the 2nd question is so the all kinds of life . but the universe has a $101.00 followed by 24 year old son like our son. so, so it essentially has a trillion galaxies on each galaxy other trillion starts. so how is it that only one planet like had life so life is out there. every rinse
6:41 pm
with the telescope has in fact capture the distinct signature of water on a distant planet. how significant is this? we don't know much about it yet. right, and this is going to happen over and over again. as the telescope goes forward, you will find many sad signatures. and many such galaxies where human beings will never be able to visit. and so you will know that, you know, so, so neuron, but this is the signature of water, not the signature of light. so all we're doing is we're looking at the, at most we're picking up signatures of the sub life from the materials. and so that will happen more and more, and you will see that there are many environments for life across the universe if these small what, because excel planet, so this will be all over be many, many destinations, but probably there is life. so this is really
6:42 pm
a completely new way to explore the universe from what you're saying in a sense it's, it's a, it's a form of time travel. tell us how we benefit from all of this and how significant milestone is it in the history of science. so how do we benefit the very good question? you know, we are you, we are doing the news right now. we're pretty fixated on the now and the here but activity the here is very, very small. as i said, the universe has one trillion galaxy that he's got like the other trillion stars. so we are really, anybody in significant that we're in saving that insignificant day with human risk as been around for maybe a 1000000. that universe is putting 1000000000 years old. so it does show us how insignificant we are and kind of patch. let's find out bedding in diamond space. i would say that that is the biggest contribution. okay. tell us,
6:43 pm
tell us what we should be looking out for next. when it comes to this, james web tell us go, because from what i understand the mission was originally expected to last for 10 years, but now nasa is saying that it has capacity to operate for 20 years. right . so another big question that we don't know. so one of the things is if you look at one point of the universe, the further ridges, the foster is best point. moving away from up to the foster is the star moving away from us. this is called the hubbub slot. so, so if you extra pull it back in time, the universe was betty betty called back and that's what called the big bank separately. so didn't be ability to go, but there was the big back. now at the big bank, there were lots of stars which were very hard. and jim smith rep telescope will help us see those stars she hubble could not see those stars because in the visual blue, those stars with on visible. but the jim smith telescope has the infrared,
6:44 pm
so you will see the ancient universe, maybe 13000000000 deals, maybe 10000000000, usable, teeming with starz starz that we have never seen. so at this been help us understand many, many think, you know, they're very big mysteries like is that dark matter on the battle that we cannot see but it and then dump us is the so this is absolutely mind boggling frontier and we will learn so much of the next. okay, so let me just ask you this, and i mean it is a 10000000000 dollar miss and you, i think i know the answer to this, but you think it's worth the money? absolutely. just put it in context of the d. d p. of the united states that the g to be of the was this is money spent, not on the not, this is spent on real scientists, and the private companies were developing it. so if the chance real jobs on know if it's not like this money is completely wasted. so, and you know, it is these things like these, like the more of
6:45 pm
a program that nasa had had tremendous scientific output. and what we don't talk about is offshoots, technology, off ship. and the top thing is it bids capability in human resources. it, it bids computer scientists, different types of things. it is, it's really not. it's just talent because this is a very interesting thing to work on. so the intelligent people love it and they they then go and go to industrial, do different things. ok, very interesting. thank you so much for speaking to us from among by me. top post. thank you. thank you. it's only looked like molly's military has arrested 49 people . it says our soldiers from ivory coast who been operating in the country illegally . it's accusing them of being mercenaries. the men were detained after arriving in the capital, obama co. tensions have risen between model these transitional government and the u

throughout this forum. but away from the meetings there is little or no interest in the big names who have come to town. fijians are dealing with the reality of a will changing around them and what it might look like for generations to come. wayne, hey, al jazeera zuba. the sports is coming up on the algerians. our with her from garrett bill and his major plans to make a mark in the us. ah ah

we'll move a step closer to jack nicklaus is 18 major title if he can win this week's open championship. spite fitness concerns would insist he's ready to contend with, and andrews, and has no plans to retire after the tournament. a 15 time major champion says he's feeling good, but pacing himself as he continues to work his way back from severe like injury suffered in a car accident was, is one the open 3 times twice to the iconic scottish course. but the 46 old admits he's not in peak physical condition. well, it can't, my body can get better. but realistically, not a whole lot. you know, it's been through a lot and at 46, you don't quite heal as well as you do at 26. so it is what it is, you know, and just lucky enough to in our sport, to build a play as long as we, we are able to play in the leading to the forty's. and especially on the links golf

6:55 pm
but i don't think we're going to see as many players fall away from contention as we used to come coming down the stretch. partly because i think the pool of talented players is so big. now the amount of players that have the ability to win a major is much lower. so i think if target is going to win because it can be pushed all the way to the 72nd. grade, the big question will be whether he can walk round 7 to house of championship golf, but some unders, it's a relatively flat golf course is going to be playing. but it's a, be sure conditions of firm and foster it's really going to be about, you know, can he get in and out of those deep pop punk is kind of keep the board in play and really utilize his watch game. and he's putting, which we know that he's so good, i guess, one the open round. twice. and andrews is his favorite golf course in the world. and he loves the unique challenges all the little nuances of playing league go, getting the ball on the ground that the creativity that falls and you know, i think it wouldn't surprise me if he's up there come sunday or full time major went to brooks. kathy is among those from golf break. why live series taking part
