gathered across the country to mourn the victims of a massacre last month troops shot dozens of people dead at a peaceful protest in khartoum. sudan rocked by anger again tens of thousands flood english streets once more chanting singing and demanding justice for those killed fighting for democracy blood for blood leads this sign of what i say to those who aren't here today you are not a free and honorable sudanese. this was a timely i'm noisy reminder to saddam's military council that the masses of all ages will mobilize after months long campaign for people power is ignored. or not and we came here to be heard and to salute the memory of our martyrs they will not be forgotten they are still with us in the sudanese revolution and we're

a year. the rain is the least of the troubles for norton and his team again they're on their way to pick up a corpse and the people in this small village near the east congolese town of potential suspicious they've heard many disturbing things about it bowler. and his team are here to make sure that those who died of the ebola virus are buried correctly a family member in a protective suit is allowed into the house to bring out the body of a young woman to prove that they did we do this to avoid rumors the family needs to see that everything is done correctly with them as i do the. rumors and superstition are only one of the obstacles in the fight against a bowler. but we always hear that the organs of the dead are stolen to make money that's why they're hidden in the sacks but i saw that my sister's body was intact

when. the body is now taken to the nearest mortuary here the body of a child is also being readied for burial another ebola victim the boy's father is filming he wants to ensure that it's his son that will be buried later on today. the recovery team tirelessly clears things up you mustn't touch the sick not even the dead explains lord and. what that means to safely bury it bola victims they need the congolese army that's because there's fighting in the area around. even treatment centers are attacked by rebel groups. but the people don't trust the government soldiers either. haziness does it equal well attentions are one reason we have problems with local people in dealing with ebola. last year the elections

were postponed because of ebola and then rumors spread that ebola was invented in order to prevent the election and. 7 the poll is far from an invention it's a bit of reality there's almost $1500.00 deaths so far in a region that's already one of the most troubled in africa. the young woman can now be buried with dignity under the protection of the soldiers a tiny success for the funeral team. india is gearing up for its 1st moon landing mission scheduled to launch in just a few hours the ambitious chandra until includes a robot rover that will explore the lunar surface and if all goes according to plan it'll touch down on september 6th it will be an exciting moment for india not least for its schoolchildren. it's just another school day but their heads and the start. kids in

a school in new delhi can hardly contain their excitement over india's moon mission . something i'm doing is india's 2nd mission to the moon. well because in the making the launch the 1st push several times over the last year . but now we display many over for what could be a historic mission for the country for these children some of whom are also in the astronomy club it is an inspiration. our neighborhood sure are like it or do a little more those searches oh yes. it was discussed with. the moment they came to her with a mission that was release a day and now be that my country is going to be the 4th time to send this mission to moon and irish mike anderson says. oh did you know that even if

we've won $400.00 of course before if each to solve all. 4 species an organization that works on promoting the study i'm pursued off astronomy missions like tundra onto opera which are. going to conceive it all we're all going to do sim is also competing there in the species trees so and also i can tell my students just like today i bought my students that there is no need to war in foreign countries riyadh having 2 children own country as well. the kids have built their own rule was a nando's i'm not ready to test them out. a perfect soft launch. on 2 sets off a 2 51 am local time on monday. but these children are excited enough to fight to stay up late on a school night to be watching. for more on india's lunar mission i'm joined now by roger. she's

a senior fellow and head of the nuclear and space policy initiative at the observer research foundation which is an indian policy think tank thanks so much for joining us so tell us what is unique about india's moon mission and what is it doing with its moon mission that perhaps other countries are not doing with their own space programs. no i think the most exciting bit is the fact that they tend to well be soft landing on the south pole of the moon and i think that something that has no other country has that and so far but this is also to be lived in the larger context of the general space competition that speaking up even within this domain so you had china outperforming the soft landing on the far side of the mornin january this year they landed or in the near side of the moon couple of years ago so this is a larger competition that is picking up ever since the u.s.

. came into office he talked about going back to the moon again so this has to be looked at in that context i think that's also part of the part of the calculation in the sense of i didn't get there and it took the 1st mission in 2008 when there was not so much of this competition and this was supposed to be a follow up mission for the next couple of years but obviously we had some delays with the tundra and to mission the robot in particular and therefore i think the delay has happened but the meantime you have had this geopolitics of space picking up bodies and that's that's that's how you see this finally happening now but the most impressive aspect is going to be the soft landing of the moon on the south pole which no other country has done and making india the 4th country to do the soft landing on the morning of or just. from the observer research foundation thank you so much. now the final of the cricket world cup is underway in london with new
