stone is like a normal life special for decades after the answer to them as the case. 7 days in baby on al jazeera. we know what's happening in our region. we know how to get the plate that others can on. i wouldn't done but own here guy by that put it on purpose. i did 0 had the time in its programming and go live on the on the go live, the were another boy that may not be me. cream is happening in fires. i said, i'm going, i'm with the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference with a controversial state funeral. japan holds a formal fire, well as form of private stations all based

ah, me say that this is al, just live from dell hall. so coming up, my gosh, wow, in an experiment day that avoiding all mcgayden nasa spice crossed crashes into an asteroid. cold for justice in mexico as protest. does mock 8 years since 43 students went missing? ah. as public anger grows, the kremlin admits mistakes while mobilizing reserve is to fight in ukraine. ah japan, preparing to hold

a state funeral for former prime minister sessions though are bay. some people are laying flowers in a tribute the head of the public ceremony that set to begin in about an hour ave was assassinated in july, while campaigning was taking some live pictures coming in from there. others have taken to the streets of tokyo to protest the funeral is controversial in part due to the cost. the government says it's spending many $12000000.00 on the venue security, transportation, and accommodations. again. although it was also one of the most divisive leaders and japanese history of mcbride, this will follow the protest as the tokyo people initially were largely in favor of giving sions. bay, add the honor of a state funeral. but gradually, the opinion has turned against it. partly because of the cost, but also because of the divisive nature of shins. so obvious politics. if i stand
7:03 am
back and we have a look at some of the banners here, a lot of them talk about no to constitutional change, no to war change. abi is regarded by many on the left of politics here of having steered japan away from it's the traditional role of pacifism of, of trying to change and amend the constitution of sending, allowing japan to deploy troops abroad and so on, which all has echoes of the last centuries, militarism which is a very troubling for many people here. so we do have protests probably protest numbering in the hundreds, just a few kilometers from here though. literally thousands of people have turned out to give their floor. real tributes along lines snaking around the blocks close to the venue of the stake funeral at people laying their flowers as one woman pointedly came up and said to us, we all the silent majority. i think there is a people that there is a very large following force. base type of politics,
7:04 am
mainly from an older generation might possibly more conservative leaning. but you talk to people in that line coming to pay their respect. and they do talk about shinto ave, making japan feel good about itself once more, making japan strong, strengthening the aligns with the americans being more assertive in asia standing up to china. so there is certainly a groundswell of opinion here. still, that should be, should get this honor which will take place later today with dignitary from around the world. the 1st time the japanese prime minister has been given. i state funeral since 967. 0, michael to check is an assistant professor of asian studies at temple university, japan. he explains the complicated legacy that should be left behind into ave came into power saying, i want to end the post war regime. making it seem like the post war prime minister's before him had been some kind of illegitimate force. and he tried to pro
7:05 am
japan in a direction i got a lot of japanese were not wanting to go and still, as we saw with the protesters, a lot of germany still think that what he has been doing in terms and where have been doing in terms of security changes the, establish him a national security council, the ability to work with a prime minister to make snap decisions that are now matters of security. these things are dangerous and he managed to push these changes through, but over a large degree of resistance prime minister, he should have made a snap decision to without going around and checking out how people felt. ok, should we do a state funeral? the circumstances, of course, foreign minister, former prime minister abbey was shot and killed something that he's extremely rare . gun violence is almost unknown in this country. in fact,
7:06 am
that gun had to be manufactured by the government. it was such a shocking and, and bizarre situation that he just quickly said, yes, let's do the state. but when people started to say, well, you know, this was last 967, everybody at that time. believe that you know, she does she go to the be prime minister was honored with this state that state been or was truly a great man. but we have a lot of opinions about abe's legacy. this process that would have helped minister kesha assess whether he should have done this or not. he just didn't do that. instead, the invitations were sent out, world leaders were invited. it was a done deal, but domestically he had not won the people's understanding. now it's one for the history books. nasa has deliberately smashed a spacecraft into an asteroid. the world got to watch it happen in real time. was all done in the name of humanity survival from crowds. now,
7:07 am
11000000 kilometers from earth. the spacecraft hurtled closer and closer to the rocky asteroid. that was its target. and then bull's eye oh, scientists and engineers at mission control cheer as the spacecraft smashes into a far off asteroid hold die more full. so it's a key step toward defending the world from future devastating impacts by mass of space rocks, we are showing that planetary defense is a global endeavor, and it is very possible to save our planet. this is double asteroid re direction test or dart was launched in november last year. it's entire mission was to ram into de morpho at a speed of more than 6 kilometers per 2nd, or 3600 kilometers an hour. the result, it's hoped a gentle nudge pushing the asteroid on
7:08 am
a new path over many years. the change in trajectory will grow larger, while di morpho itself is not on a course to collide with earth. space rocks like the one that flashed across the sky in russia 9 years ago, hit the planet all the time. and the big ones can change the course of life on earth. 65000000 years ago, a huge object crashed near the yucatan peninsula, causing global devastation. scientists believe the impact is directly linked to the extinction of the dinosaurs. getting rid of t rex and their kin was a good thing for us, mammals, but another collision of the same magnitude won't be, it could destroy us all. so the international consortium behind dart hopes to defend the earth from potential catastrophe, by combining careful observations to identify asteroid threats, years or decades ahead of time, along with the ability to knock them off their collision course. yet there are no
7:09 am
known astride breadth by when we find one in the future. maybe we'll have the technologies to potentially prevent any di morphis's new trajectory will be studied for years to come. the information gleaned from the test will hopefully help prevent humanity from suffering. the same fate as the dinosaurs rob reynolds al jazeera. tanya harrison is a fellow at the outer space institute. she says, hitting the asteroid was not an easy task. this was tricky because the 1st time we've ever done anything like this where we've tried to change the trajectory of something while it was in space, this was at the level of we couldn't even pilot the thing all the way there. we had to put in commands into the spacecraft, so that those last couple of minutes as it was going into impact the asteroid it was flying all out its own. so it's basically a hold your breath and hope that everything works properly. and those last couple of minutes there and it peers to work flawlessly. there are going to be
7:10 am
a bunch of telescopes, monitoring the asteroids from the ground here on earth across multiple continents, over the next few days and weeks to make sure that we actually accomplished the trajectory change that we were looking for. and this involved the very small change to the velocity of the asteroid, like less than a percent, but it should be enough to move its course enough that we could detected with those telescopes. the idea here is, are we actually capable of changing the trajectory of an asteroid that might be on a collision course with earth? we know that this has happened many times in the past. it's what led to the extinction of the dinosaurs and may have caused some of the other extension events we've had in history. but we've never had the technological capability to actually be proactive for something like this. if we did find an asteroid that was on collision course with earth. so the ones that we visited today are not a danger. they were never going to impact the earth, but it was just a test of this technology. and if this works, then we know that we can use the same technology to hopefully deflect asteroids that might pose the actual threat down. why. now the kremlin has admitted it made
