a london jail facing extradition to the u.s. does the u.k. in your opinion have legal grounds to detain him the united nations already in two thousand and sixteen held. onto and held in detention and the u.k. how did you get to stall obstructing his freedom movement so basically. the street if you want to orchestrate. ok but there is this u.s. extradition request what do you make of that request do you think it's valid. that came up yesterday did you get secret until yesterday and it is a very problematic procedure. for many reasons as as. i would read it from what you reported just a little while ago the u.s. will start to use up trying to make a link between the obstruction or the forced entry into the u.s.
10:11 am
computer system because you see under u.s. law you can't charge him all trussed accused him with bringing this information to the public so this omaha to try to find some kind of link between what chelsea manning did to get into the computer cracking a code etc that's a very difficult. thing to stop this evidence or it wise so in my view. this will present a very high threshold which u.k. courts english courts british courts should take very seriously and when that threshold is meant that well you see the political context here it's very very tough and i think. i mean as the us they announced the test in the house of commons . mr sollars had been arrested. there were. statements by the judge the first it seems judge yesterday. very

10:14 am
a success we find out why. to mindanao the second biggest island in the philippines and known for its natural beauty it's also the place the so-called islamic state chose to create a caliphate in southeast asia even before i ask came on the scene mindanao had seen a long running power struggle between its christian majority and muslim minority in may of two thousand and seventeen i asked fighters made their move a few hundred fighters seized the city. the battle to flush them out there devastated the region reporters sunday papers. travel to mindanao to see what life is like there today. we are on patrol with the largest muslim rabid group in mindanao the moro islamic liberation front m.i.l.f. for decades they fought for independence tens of thousands were killed. but since
10:15 am
the self-proclaimed islamic state burst onto the scene in two thousand and seventeen the muslim rebels have joined forces with the philippine army both sides feel threatened by as fight has now lay neo. the muslim minority strongly supports the m.i.l.f. only five percent of filipinos are muslims and almost all live in mindanao the areas are among the poorest in the philippines many here blame the christian majority got them and for their plight. we visit the military headquarters of the m.i.l.f. the government needs the rabbit support to secure a peace and to fight terror a president. has promised them a far reaching autonomy is. the chief of staff isn't in uniform a sign perhaps of the shift from insurgency to politics. the m.i.l.f.
10:16 am
has seen defectors joining i as we ask him what might happen if the autonomy project goes badly i would or could be really did a lot of people really become diminished. the isis real there's this treasure. all the followers of. jordan are there and. there will be. bigger. he tells us that they will disarm up to thirty thousand fighters but only with full muslim autonomy. if not. remember we will not do commission our forces and we will not give up our firearms which we promised to the government. this is what both sides are trying to avoid and not the rabi the largest muslim city of the philippines lies in ruins bombed out after a few hundred s.
10:17 am
fighters had occupied maradi for five months two years ago. more than one thousand people were killed. the tens of thousands remain displaced. it was president to tear to who at the bombing but he's also a strong supporter of muslim autonomy his film a peace advise that tells us. it is a strong signal to the bad guys. around read this country i have been in the peace process under several presidents and we have moved us far as we have this time the president feels that we can improve as a nation if we write more of our for the locals but it must be under one flag the philippine flag. but if the autonomy dr fay it's more disaffected muslims could join radical outfits in
10:18 am
addition after the loss of their caliphate in syria and iraq more foreign i guess five tests might also decide that mindanao is the new front and you can see the full version of the film called philippines in the sights of i asked. you to channel which is labeled simply documentary you can find out or course about the film on our website at steve coll. well a few moments ago we talked about space x. the u.s. commercial space ventura that successfully had its first commercial mission with its new big rocket well here's another story of a space mission but this one unfortunately went a bit wrong it's in the israeli mission to the moon it failed when the lunar lander crashed into the moon's surface mission control said engine failure was to blame but israeli aerospace officials officials still hailed the mission as a breakthrough for low cost small stale space.
10:19 am
israelis held their breath held their heads or even called on a higher power as it became clear that something had gone wrong national t.v. carried live images from inside the control room and there the tension was palpable when the news of the land is crush was announced there was solemn applause the prime minister benjamin netanyahu and project chiefs tried to stay positive about the outcome you win some you lose. the foot first you don't succeed you try again. for the holder so. this spacecraft was called para sheet which translates literally into in the beginning it hitched a ride into space aboard space x. is rocket in february this year the mission was an attempt to make history it would have been the first privately funded spacecraft to land safely on the moon but
10:20 am
nevertheless the project did achieve some milestones. we have achieved an amazing success in bringing a spacecraft to the moon almost bringing it to the landing. it is by far the smallest but the press spacecraft ever to get to the moon. so despite the disappointment there is reason to celebrate the project paves the way for future low cost lunar exploration. for more on this mission we have with us from w. science good morning leon good morning so what went wrong on this mission it was a crash landing it was really during the last seconds the last few seconds just before the touchdown they were only one hundred fifty meters apparently above the surface and then mission control lost communication for some reason. so we don't really know what happened during those last meters but. well they say that maybe
10:21 am
the main engine had a problem. we'll maybe see in five investigations but what is clear is that the biggest lender wasn't very robust as it's privately funded it needed to be so there was no back up far communication systems of how the solar panel to keep costs low so close hundred fifty meters from the surface and then it went wrong how big of a setback is this for the israeli space program so their big goal was to be the first nation on the moon this dream obviously crest right even though they were so sure to make it if you look at the twitter feed there was one person the tweeted if they will if they land on the moon successfully they will be the first nation on the moon and they correct it not if when so that shows it's not a very scientific apart just more of a demonstration of we can and you know they try to be optimistic and to still say it's a success because they came this close they did come really close and they've actually
10:22 am
got their their lander on the moon but just not in one piece what exactly was the point of this mission. well it was more of a political mission than a scientific one there wasn't much of our big signs unbarred but it was packed with emotions and with symbols that they had the national anthem they had photos of israeli landscapes they had to declare the direction of independence of israel so they really wanted to create this kind of pride in israel and also to promote signs among the new generation and that was still successful there were many kids wearing space suits for example yesterday to watch this event so yeah this was successful despite the crash landing so they do have reason to be proud to thank you so much larry from v.w. science. this year's prestigious world press photo ward was handed out in amsterdam last night it was given to veteran photographer
