i had to do it exactly hour a day. by the name of the new tool i work at that. 2 this is t w news live from berlin a blow to indian attempts to push the roosevelt on the engineers at mission control have lost communication with their live in a lot of the signal from the trying to dry on the 2 spacecraft disappeared after it entered its final descent to the moon surface also coming up more than 70000 people are in need of food and water and the bahamas offer that homes and communities were

completely destroyed by hurricane dorian the same the final death toll will be staggering. and hong kong's freedoms must be guaranteed that is the thing that's german chancellor angela merkel's message to chinese leaders on a state visit she says dialogue is the only solution to the ongoing political crisis. time manuscripts mackinnon thanks so much for joining us. it was an ambitious plan from the very start india wanted to be the 1st country to shed light on the dark side of the moon the chandrayaan 2 mission set house in july to explore the uncharted territory of the lunar south pole but shortly before the scheduled

touchdown the space center and bangalore lost contact with the lab now mission control is trying to figure out was of the spacecraft crashed or landed while no one was watching. devastation at india's space agency as the scientists lose contact to the chandrayaan 2 only seconds before its landing. the spacecraft was meant to become the 1st ever to touch down on the unexplored south pole of the moon indian prime minister narendra modi came to see the landing from the control room later he found console a terrier worse as he addressed the nation. on earth few of us then doubt a nation by the way we went our way. it is sold out already in solidarity with a lot of scientists who are hard embark. on one of the most ambitious

mission of our space program victim very close but we really need to cover more ground on. the landing of the spacecraft was also broadcast live on television across the country tensions were running high ahead of the event. the chandrayaan 2 was successfully launched in july after a previous attempt was called off due to technical problems. chandrayaan which means moon craft in ancient sanskrit spent the last few weeks traveling to what's the south side of the moon. on monday the landing robot vig separated from the craft ahead of its planned touchdown it was supposed to measure the surface and locate water deposits india would have been only the 4th country in

the world to achieve a controlled soft landing its previous mission in 2008 and it with a spacecraft probe intentionally crashing into the moon. for now india's invasions to become a global space superpower appear to have suffered a setback but scientists hope to get the communication to the spacecraft back up and find out what happened and we're joined now by the delhi correspondent in the misha gys while the mission of the the loss of contact doesn't mean the mission has failed does it do we have any more information. well that's right and now the loss of contact is with the landowner and the rover the all but taught the 3rd part of the mission is still up and running it will continue all but in the morning for the next year and dicking photographs of the lunar surface we've already seen a few of these but of course the land and global voyage important because it would have made india just the 4th primary after the us russia and china not to

successfully soft land on the surface of the moon and explored the southern all of the lunar surface so this of course has been a disappointment scientists continued to try to establish contact and also to find out and analyze the data to find out what exactly happened right when the lander was supposed to touch the lunar surface as you said india was set to become only the 4th country in history to land on the moon just how significant would it be if this mission indeed turns out to have failed also from an emotional point of view thing to india. i learned it's definitely significant there was a lot of hopes pegged to this mission and i don't just speak of the scientific community it had also inspired just the billions in the country schoolchildren as well there were many projects the launch was who watched very closely but after the destroyed the peace organization lost contact with the land there was also an

outpouring of support not just by the prime minister but by many other people on social media as well india was of course trying to establish itself as an important player in the space tourist but critics off the current government have also said that this was simply another way to distract from the larger problems that india's facing with a struggling economy falling g.d.p. numbers job losses and of course the conflict in the den situation and the focus will be brought back to these aspects now that the focus will shift from the more mission now if this does work out what will happen next because neurons are modi certainly has some ambitious plans doesn't mean. that's right on and just if this mission is a failure or if it works out it will not dampen india's space ambitions in any way it's true that the space organization was originally mandated to make me to a logical prediction to help agriculture which it has done but now it wants to take

the next big step forward there's already been a successful mars mission there's been a successful mission in the past and india and the prime minister are hoping to put a man on the moon by $222.00 missions also planned to venus as well as the sun so israel will continue striving on and it seems to have the full support of the government from the looks of it from the response it has had from the government today are an issue john as well from delhi thanks so much. as take a look now at some of the of the stories making news around the world wildfire as a northeastern australia have full fee evacuation of hundreds of people and destroyed a number of homes but strong winds and dry conditions expected to continue over the coming days well saurus he's say it could take a week to get the fi is under control room leaders of 7 countries in south america's amazon region have signed a pact against the destruction of the rain forest at

protest leaders and she wasn't like she didn't condemn police violence for example in hong kong. whatever chancellor merkel says is likely to have any effect i mean on her words maybe a symbolic gesture in support of the protesters but no more than that well dirt the chinese government tends to or listen in some situations to the german government on human rights issues for example in the past. 10 years government agreed to let some human rights activists leave china and they croqueted to germany as was the case of the wife of a nobel laureate last year. so in some situations they listen and others consider their human rights issues as being part of china's internal affairs and they don't want. their governments to interfere so that. our rights i mean i'm
