a long delay it finally arrives the airplane from johannesburg. and some officials are waiting for the passengers to disembark. this is the 1st machine from south africa with nigerian. the 1st since anti immigrant violence erupted in and around your hand last week now that the nigerians are back what does the future hold for that. warm welcome to begin with but a lot of uncertainty to this woman left south africa after 7 years because of the xenophobic attacks she says she has brought her child with her. so. what's the plan for your future and what are you hoping to forge ahead probably find a job because i'm a graduate. of. hours earlier and just

military's involvement in afghanistan and i asked our washington correspondent on a satellite how americans feel about the ongoing campaign 18 years on. well 1st of all helen of these attacks on 911 created a national trauma for many americans they have not been any wars fought on american soil for centuries in these attacks for the 1st time in the lives of many americans it gave them the feeling of being under attack and not being vulnerable and these 3 this trauma still exists today as much as the war on terror is still going on with a number of 14000 soldiers still deployed to afghanistan 18 years after 911 and many americans are growing tired of these american military interventions abroad a president trump therefore in his election campaign in 2016 promised over and over again to pull american troops out of international crises off of ghana's to and in

particular of course and many americans are very supportive of that. that was the deputy correspondent on of the side that reporting from washington d.c. and let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the walls. the u.s. supreme court approved president donald trump's plans to stop migrants painting a sign in the u.s. overturning a lower court ruling block the policy through states that migrants traveling overland must pay to sign in the 1st country that they reach it would prevent all central american migrants from claiming a sign in the u.s. . near it nearly released a british government documents warn of chaos and public disorder if there is a no it deal breaks it in a worst case scenario the documents predict severe disruption to cross channel routes which could affect supplies of medicines and some foods the government was forced to release the files off to a vote by norway case. authorities in california have recovered the

last remaining body off the 34 people died in a boat fire off the california coast last week 5 of the boats 6 crew members survived off to move all to pull attempts to save those trapped below deck it's still unclear what cools the fire. well scientists have made a major discovery in the hunt for life outside of our own planet for the 1st time they've managed as hex water vapor on a planet outside also in a system that has temperature is suitable for life as we know it's 2 teams of researchers were able to detect was say in the atmosphere of a planet 110 light years away the planet's known as a super a it is also just the right distance from its star to sustain life. and for more on this i'm joined by to tell tenet now good to see you are and tell us more about what researches have been able to detect well for the 1st time

they've been able to detect water vapor in a planet in orbiting its stars so-called habitable zone it's often referred to as the goldilocks zone that's the area outside of a star where that's not too hot and not too cold that means that liquid water can actually exist there and they were able to detect in the atmosphere of a key to each beat that's the name of this super earth the presence of liquid water now this is a major 1st and it's really kind of speaks to the fact that we're slowly able to start to tech planets where life could exist outside our own solar system which is of course an incredible revelation to liquid water on a distant planet i mean tell us more about why this is such a breakthrough discovery well i mean really it kind of speaks to the fact that scientists and astronomers are really focusing on the question of where is all the life in the universe i mean basically all of our logical assumptions basically point to the fact that our galaxy should be teeming with life we mean just the very

fact that there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of stars in our own galaxy that points the fact that life should exist elsewhere but if we're looking up to the stars it's quite obvious up to this point the only planet that we know where life could exist is earth and the you know the key ingredient for life at least as we know it is water so the fact that we're able to detect planets outside of our own solar system where water could exist in its liquid form means we're slowly getting to that level of technology where we might be able to find life outside of our own planet and that tells us at the same time a lot about our assumptions about the universe and how it works and also about our own place in that universe which is why that you know i discovered liquid water on planet like this is such a revolutionary discovery certainly a very exciting discovery indeed i mean with that in mind one of the next steps i mean can we actually use this information as easeful. well i mean that's really depends on you know your standpoint i mean it's useful from the from the scientific standpoint because it tells us a lot about the assumptions that we're making basically it tells us are we looking

in the right places do we actually understand you know how solar systems are formed hell planets are formed are we looking in the places where life could exist so at discovery like this really help scientists focus in tells them where they should be looking in the future now of course this discovery was made with older technology was made of the hubble space telescope which was launched in the eighty's originally you know it's it's nearing the end of its life cycle but there are much more powerful larger space telescopes that will be coming online in the next 10 years and using this type of discovery basically is proof that this method works scientists we have to focus their search for life looking ahead with these new telescopes that are coming online in the next 10 years or so that is something to look forward to watching it for us our intel to thank you i think you. well one of hong kong's most prominent pro-democracy activists has leaders to show support for the ongoing protests in the territory joshua one has now wrapped up

a visit to but in which i'm good beijing authorities accuse germany meddling in their affects. it was just 30 day in berlin he came to the german capital with a message for i'm going to mexico and other world leaders is a must for the chancellor pay attention to hong kong protests and showed us a part to hong kong asian safeguard hong kong is not only the responsibility of hong kong people but also the responsibility for world leaders prefer to hong kong to face the next tenements where masacre happened for decades ago on monday wong met german foreign minister heiko must prompting shop criticism from beijing it summons germany's ambassador accusing but then of interfering in china as a fads. only go. and see what happens no i'm fortunately have to say will have negative consequences on bilateral relations intentionally no will have to react. to the. at berlin's

home old university just one packed tight that he had to his message was one of defiance and a strong belief in the power of the protest movement in his home city no matter youngster and elderly all we stand as one with our determination to fight for better future. joshua wang signed many supporters in the german capital. i think he did a good job he didn't like it even at like a hero is that he just here he is fair on this about it that he is the facilitator . the person he's very impressive very brave and he's still very young. and find him particularly admirable because he's risking his life and freedom with his activism. activism will still skillz the prime person. i think it's a huge motivation for people who are brought to come closer to. so be

motivated and follow closely to what is happening in our home city. many here tell us they're concerned about joshua long and what will happen to him when he returns to hong kong but 1st he's heading for the united states where he hopes to gain more support for hong kong's pro-democracy movement. for steve's now and world cup basketball's france has handed to the united states is 1st lost in the competition for 13 a year and in their opponent's run in the quarter finals france is strong outside shooting to keep pace with the americans who were fielding a squad of 2nd tier players after the lights and bron james pulled out donovan mitchell managed $29.00 points for the u.s. but it was only a m.p.a. star ricky go bad who came up with the key points for frogs in the 2nd half in the final score of that match was 8970 yards.
