moon mission. the u. s. space agency had to postpone left off of its giant rocket earlier on saturday after a fuel lake. it was the 2nd time in a week that a technical issue has derailed. the mission nessa says the leak is too complex to fix in a matter of days. and a 3rd attempt will be delayed until at least light september. ellen fisher has been on standby at cape canaveral. this is artemus launch control at a t minus 4 hours and 45 minutes in counting. the rocket was primed. the count don't underway. but his feeling of the giant rockets began. it became clear that in that famous phrase, we have a problem. the last name has a recommendation of no go for launch to the nasa test rector and launch director a leak on the link pumping liquid hydrogen into the tanks was found. engineers run through the plans to fix it. lots rector turley back, while thompson just called, ah, a scrub. but in the end, i to admit defeat the launch scrub the for saturday. we do not launch until
8:03 am
we think it's right. and these teams have labored over that and that is the conclusion that they came to. so i look at this as a part of our space program, of which safety is the top of the list. it's the 2nd time in a week the much the 8 optimist project had to be stopped short of launch on monday . it was an issue traced back to a faulty gauge launch period. 25 is definitely off the table. we won't be launching this period ends on tuesday. we will not be launching in this launch period. launch period 26 and 27 will really depend on the options that the team comes back with likely on monday or early tuesday morning,
8:04 am
thousands of gathered in the parks and on beaches across florida to space coast, hoping to see a lunar launch only to leave disappointed my brought friends with us and our share in our friends son's birthday. hovering the big candle to go off, but it didn't in unless you've ever seen a rocket go up. there's nothing like its heart pounding. shake your whole body and it's just something to say. optimists has been plagued with delays with overruns and with a soaring budget. but nasa believes that even a short delay is worth it for a mission that will stretch over years and stretch the frontiers of space. allan fisher, i'll do zita, cape canaveral, florida. terry versus a retired astronaut and former international space station commander, he says nessa will have had a good reason to cancel the launch. having been in situations like that, there's teams of engineers looking at their computer screens trying talking through,
8:05 am
you know, can we try this have, why don't we try that? nasa has been doing that now for over 60 years. so they, they tried a lot and they said no one wants to scrub land, but no one wants to want. even worse than scrubbing is launching a rocket. that's not safe particularly. well, it's a rocket scrub. i mean, i was at nasa for 16 years and you know, the shuttle was constantly scrubbing my 1st shuttle flight. there was a thin layer of cloud and we had to wait until the next day. rocket scrubs are nothing new we've been. we've been delaying rocket launches now for 60 years, so that i don't think it's too terrible. although it's we not only have artemus space. x is building a very heavy rocket. blue origin also wants to build a big rocket. so there's not only competition with china, but there's competition internally in america. and so there is some pressure, you know, to get things moving because there are others looking up and wanting to launch also . so competition, i think is a good thing. the international atomic energy agency says this operation,
8:06 am
nuclear power plant and ukraine has been disconnected from its last remaining external power line. but the facility is still managing to supply electricity to the grid through a reserve line connected to a nearby thermal power station. only one of the 6 reacted nuclear plants is now functioning well earlier. russia accuse ukrainian forces of shilling near the facility. gabriel elizondo has more from keith. well, the security and the safety situation are very both very tenuous down in the separation nuclear power plant. at this very hour, precisely because there was this main power source on the plant, the last remaining permanent power source there. as you mentioned, the 3 others had already been knocked out during the war. this one went down. that's the bad news. the somewhat good news is that there's backup power system was able to kick in, and that is what is providing power to the nuclear facility at this hour. but that
8:07 am
is not the ideal situation. this is essentially running on backup generators, if you will, to put it in sort of simple terms and you never want to be doing that at a nuclear power plant such as this, especially one is large as this is the largest in europe and provides over half the energy to all of ukraine. so this happened now also at a very critical juncture, was just about 48 hours ago that raphael grossi the director general of the international atomic energy agency, visited the power plant. he's left in a reporter in speaking to the media 24 hours ago so that he was very concerned about the situation. and there are still several i. e, a staff members professionals that are there at the plant and they are the ones that reported the current situation. so they're monitoring it very closely with their ukrainian colleagues. but let's also remember that this plant is controlled
8:08 am
by the russian military right now. russia's state energy company gas prom says siemens is ready to carry out repairs on the nord stream, one gas pipeline to germany. but there is no way available to carry out the work. gas prom announced on friday that it will not resume gas delivery through the pipeline after 3 days shut down, citing an oil leak. but the european commission says the move is under fallacious pretences and shows moscow is an unreliable supplier or former us president donald trump has called the if the i search at has mar, like our residents last month, a travesty of justice. he also had back at his successor and current president, joe biden, after he labeled him and his supporters as extremists, trump made the comments at a really and supportive to republican nominees for congress and pennsylvania. it was his 1st public appearance since the if b. i right joe biden came to philadelphia,
8:09 am
pennsylvania to give the most vicious, hateful and derisive speech ever delivered by an american president vilifying. $75000000.00 citizens, plus another probably 752800 and 50. if we want to be accurate about it as threats to democracy and as enemies of the state, you're all enemies of the say. he's an enemy of say, you want to know that the enemy of the state is him and the group that control him . my kenneth has more from washington d. c. in a speech that lasted well over an hour, donald trump repeated many of the claims he made before repeating his baseless claim that the 2020 election was stolen. he lashed out at president biden for accusing him and his maga, movement of being
8:10 am
a real threat to democracy. he also accuse the f, b, i and the department of justice of being weaponized by the bite and administration . the somewhat ironic from someone who it must be remembered, fired the director of the f, b i and demanded absolute loyalty from the department of justice. this is what he had to say about the f b i search of his home. a few weeks ago you saw when we witnessed one of the most shocking abuses of power by any administration in american history. the shameful raid and breaking of my home are al argo was a travesty of just that made a mockery of america's laws, traditions, and principals before the entire world. the entire world was watching and their shock. but the speech was also notable, not for what trump said, but what he didn't,
8:11 am
there was no mention of why he took the controversial documents from the white house and the 1st place why his lawyers certified that they'd been returned when the f b. i search revealed that in fact, they hadn't, so many questions remain that were not answered within tram speech. he also did not repeat the claim that all these documents were declassified. something that has been made in social media. this is the type of statement that the f b i would lean in to should there be an investigation into obstruction of justice. why are both leaders in pennsylvania at the same time? well, it's an absolutely critical statement. terms of the mid term elections at played a central role in 2016 and in 2020. when biden won at 580000 votes, and that's likely to repeat itself in the mid terms where among other things pennsylvania could well decide who controls the senate. after november, ellison degnan says professor of political science at shipping's burg university in
8:12 am
pennsylvania, she explains why the us state is the center of america's political universe right now. and solving is incredibly important. we are a very unusual state. we're remarkable because we have a blend of urban and rural voters that make us very evenly divided. but even more than that, we have an open senate seat and a midterm election, where only a handful of races are even close. and we have an open, proven authorial seat, where whoever is going to win this race is going to determine whether pennsylvania is a pro life or pro choice state. and so because a former president trump has endorsed both republican candidates for these offices, he has some, some skin in this game and a prisoner by news from pennsylvania. so both see not only the fact the pennsylvania is a battle ground, but also that they are very personal stakes here. i imagine we'll be seeing more of
8:13 am
them in the coming weeks. we have philadelphia on the east side of the commonwealth and pittsburgh on the west side of the commonwealth and in between is a t shape of very rural conservative voters and they are, they are just die hard maga. and so that is why in 2016 for president trump, one pennsylvania 544000 votes and in 2020 trump last pennsylvania 580000. and you know, 80000 votes is a lot of boats, but not if you consider the fact that we have in pennsylvania 9000000 registered voters. so it just speaks to how very closely divided. we are the still ahead on al jazeera, a final farewell to. so he laid mikhail gorbachev. the president vladimir putin stays away. and why this prize winning painting is much more than meets the eye.
8:14 am

8:15 am
to talk about that heat wave we've been tracking through at syria and jordan. temperatures are now starting to come down. so the 3 day forecast in amman shows us we're actually below average by wednesday. but there are signs that the heat will pick up again at toward the end of the week. central africa bursts of rain falling here where we would expect for this time of the year. and as we dipped toward the south along the northern and western cape provinces of south africa could see those winds wind up to 90 kilometers per hour. and a wet day in cape town, at the height of 16 degrees on sunday. ah! 4 scientists, the evidence is irrefutable, with america's climate change deniers stubbornly miss soccer. despite soaring temperatures, raging wild fires and shrinking water reserves, the world's largest economy, it's still split along ideological line. so can it ever reach consensus to avoid
8:16 am
catastrophe? climate wars ought to on a just 0 lou ah, watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories, the sour nasa has rolled out another launch attempt in the coming days for it's awesome is one moon mission. the u. s. space agency had to postpone the launch of its giant rocket for a 2nd time after a fuel lake. former us president donald trump has called the f. b. i. search of his mar, lock our residents. last month, a travesty of justice. agents discovered several sensitive documents at the estate . trump also called joe biden,

8:18 am
the ceremony was pretty small speeches. no one spoke about gorbachev's achievements, his importance for our life and for the entire world. i was surprised by that here as well. the ceremony resembled more a funeral of an important man, but not a state figure. to earlier thousands, laying the streets of moscow to pay tribute to a man whose legacy shaped the modern world control. i think this man dissolved people's farewell ceremony. he's a historic pass and no matter what some people feel about him, he did a lot, and i think he did more good. some think that he did more bad. earlier this week, president vladimir putin paid respects to corporate job, but he skipped the funeral, citing his busy schedule. put in one said he considered the collapse of the soviet union to be the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century. from gary and prime minister victor, oregon was the only western leader to attend. the kremlin has been so far,

a prize winning painting has spite controversy in the united states after it became clear, it wasn't exactly what it seemed. this was the picture called the author, the opera spa c, l. at one, the colorado state fears, emerging digital artist section the twist, it was made by artificial intelligence using a computer program. some in the art world say it's not fair and it's not art. but the winner, jason, ellen disagrees with richard fitz williams is a film, an art critic. he says, it's a legitimate work of art and an exciting innovation that is a human input needed into this how jason allen said that he put some 80 hours into it. so that is, i think, very important to stress. the other thing is that obviously by that new boots and art and i'm in one, could choose either the impressionist. so the cubists. so the surrealists, i mean, i'd always disturbs and shops are few people or sometimes a very large number of people. it's one of our purposes. look at what happens when,
