10:21 pm
leadership. and the french have stopped their military cooperation so he can no longer rely on air support from the french or ground troops. so in order to bridge that gap insecurity, well the government of burkina faso is looking at people. it's young people, a country of 22000000 people where the median age of 17, many people sitting idle. and so this war effort, calling on anybody above the age of 18 where they are men and women to go on the front line is greatly popular. why? well, that's because 2000000 people are displaced. tens of thousands of people have been killed in their daily despatches on the news intel on television, but also on the radio of the latest information of the front line. and so the situation is going from bad to worse in this country. and so this is a desperate effort to try to regain loss land. nicholas hawk al jazeera

10:24 pm
and i really keystone and i think we have an opportunity if we work hard enough to have western hemisphere damage united equal ever craddick. economic green cross, bush and white house correspondent, kimberly, i'll cat joins us live. now. tell us more about why these 2 gustavo petro and joe biden, want to deepen that relationship. yeah, well for the usa and it's part one of the reasons for its desire to deepen this relationship has the lot to do with its adversary. china, china has really deepened its grip on latin america, and that is a concern to the united states. so it wants to make sure that it has a friendly relationship with a number of latin american countries in columbia is just one of many for it's part . columbia wants to deepen its relationship with the united states because it is in
10:25 pm
the united states is, is largest trading partner. and so there is real economic benefit there. and so, as we heard the oval office just now, the 2 leaders really praised one another view as president, praising as the columbia leader for essentially a number of things that particularly his work on human rights taking venezuelan refugees. but on the part of the columbia leader, he was thinking you as president joe biden, for some of the economic things that he sees in terms of the future of their relationship in terms of expanding and some of the things that are the 2 nations can do. to work together, particularly when it comes to combating climate change in terms of expanding and investment, if you will, to make sure that there is a future. one of the sort of key issues that he is really passionate about is making sure that the future is committed to, as he said just moments ago,
10:26 pm
a future that have does not include coal, oil, or gas. so this is where he really sees the benefits of the partnership and tell us about the challenges they face in doing so. yeah, well it really comes down to 2 areas and they are big ones to overcome. the 1st is drug policy and the 2nd is venezuela. when it comes to drug policy, the columbia leader really differs from joe biden. when it comes to the issue of cocaine, cocaine going into the united states, the united states is so called war on drugs really wants to go after the small farmer this growing cocaine. this is something the colombian leader disagrees with go after the big drug cartels instead, leave those small farmers alone when it comes to venezuela. and the united states has made no secret, wants to isolate the venezuela leader nicolas maduro. and that is the exact opposite of the new policy of the columbia leader. he has had direct engagement,
10:27 pm
diplomatic relations have resumed, and he wants to see the sanctions lifted that the united states is put in place. so these are some pretty, pretty big obstacles to overcome the matter behind closed doors. now they're working out some of those differences because again, they want to try and overcome these challenges in order to expand their relationship. thank you. kimberly how kit at the white house. now the family of formula, one legend michael schumacher is planning legal action of a fake interview in a janet magazine that was created using artificial intelligence. michael schumacher the 1st interview. this is the headline on the front of the activella that said the name of the publication 7 times well champion hasn't been seen in public since as serious skiing accident almost 10 years ago. that left him with serious brain injuries. the entire article was created using an ai program, which is only made clear at the end space axis launched,
10:28 pm
the biggest and most powerful rocket ever made in a landmark test. but it didn't go according to plan. ah, the 2 hobbs of the un crude starship failed to separate as planned and exploded. 4 minutes after glanced off, crashing down into the gulf of mexico. thousands of gather to watch the launch from southern texas space as space ex officials still declared some mission a success as it marked the 1st time starship and its massive booster rocket and actually taken to the skies calling baker has more on the test flight. ah, 1st the race to space was just about getting there. now it's about getting a lot of people or a lot of heavy equipment off our planet at once resuming, at least it is for space sex, c, e. o. ellen musk starship is supposed to be the largest vehicle ever sent to space
10:29 pm
. standing at 120 meters and stainless steel, it's designed to propel 100 people or more than 100 tons of equipment to orbit and must is the only space entrepreneur making that that. ah, he says it could very passengers around the world in half an hour, but he says his ultimate vision to colonize mars is built on ideals. life can't just be about solving problems. they have to be things that inspire you and going out there and pick up being a multi plan of species and being a space bearing supposition, making science fiction, not fiction forever. i think that's one of those things. musk has had a tough here tesla. his electric car company is facing competition in a sector. it used to dominate and after paying $44000000000.00 for twitter in
10:30 pm
october, he told employees in march, the company is now worth up, but in just a decade space sex has proven that rockets once thought disposable can be safely reused. getting starship to the launch pad has not been cheap in 2020 and 21. early versions performed spectacular flips and plunges over the swamps of southern texas . but exploded on landing. the other way of viewing this is that this is just an experiment, like we're going to do this and then see if this is a possibility of a market. but if you can treat a $100000000.00 rocket as an experiment, there's a lot of things that you can consider experiments. the bigger question is, how or why such a craft would ever be used. we don't have any of the systems in place on how to handle that sort of volume of people. what that social organization would look like . i would say that when it comes to thinking about can starship and what the future might bring for it.
