cases of the code 19 virus india is racing to develop a vaccine but is politics forcing scientists to make false promises. i'm brian thomas great to have you with us today to american astronauts have made a landmark splash down as the 1st commercial crewed mission to the international space station returns to earth it was also the 1st class down landing after a u.s. space mission since 1975 space x. and the u.s. space agency nasa are celebrating the success of the mission. as we are now just about 20 meters off the ocean this is the moment when space 6 probably went when no company has gone before. flashed a. as you can see on your screen we have visual confirmation for smack down the

firm's landing capture glides into the gulf of mexico in the control room through tame from space 6 and nasa the u.s. space agency that contract it for this mission is pretty much complete so. even after the landing the danger was an over the dragon capsule weighs over $12000.00 kilo docking it and extracting the 2 astronauts inside a delicate endeavor teams currently working with a few private vessels no one it's by 6 saw this coming out several sightseeing but it's approaching that cap show with a gushing propellant few the pleasure boats were ordered to leave the area immediately. there we can see the lift. in the end the dragon made it to shore of the water and we have our 1st few an astronaut's doug hurley and bob behnken emerged onto our planet. with

a huge thumbs up and an optimistic message for the u.s. and the. moment just. given all that they're going to happen here again on the left doug hurley on the right mission accomplished by 6 a nasa who've pioneered public private partnerships in out of space. and i think we're both super super proud to have been just a small part of the team accomplished for those space flights back to the florida coast and bringing that capability back to america it's also a personal triumph a spy 6 found in a lawn musk public controversies had begun to overshadow his recent business successes. i'm not very religious but i prayed for this one. very few but here it is this. space x.'s next mission is planned for september and the firm is hoping it will launch space tourists into orbit next year.

separation 4 35 pm pacific its goal dominating a new age of commercial space travel nationals one in which competition between the companies creates innovation and progress earlier you spoke with the watches keys cowing and asked them what made this mission so very significant. well it's interesting because the idea of putting humans in a capsule and launching him into space and then having him splash down into water isn't necessarily moot sifton as was mentioned in your piece we haven't done it here in the states in 45 years we've ridden on crews flying on soviet space russian spacecraft and before that soviet space and they legally and so we haven't had a chance to do this in a long time but def says to engineer and more important things that the spacecraft wasn't a government spacecraft it was bought by the government now the services rather

want by the government under a commercial contract with space x. they also have one with boeing so instead of the 10 trend over the past half a century of only flying people into space and government on spacecraft now are buying tickets and that she has the chance of going further than just you know professional astronauts needed commercial asked months and maybe someday you and i as if you briefed us on the other stories making the news today tropical storm the c.s. has started florida and is moving north off the states a lot of coastline that's after a dump frontal rains on the bahamas forecasters say the storm is likely to intensify to near hurricane strength as it approaches north and south carolina where it's expected to make landfall. it is the 1st full day of a new lockdown for australia's 2nd biggest city melbourne tougher measures measures including a nightly curfew are in place for the next 6 weeks the state of victoria which

in berlin against the rules to fight the coronavirus demonstrators failed to keep their distance from each other and they didn't wear masks either politicians are i'm drenched. he says i know that on the one hand they're exercising their right to protest but there are rules which they disregard their behavior is playing with people's lives you make him leave them on the bench hide in freedom and responsibility go hand in hand there's the freedom to exercise one's right to demonstrate but also a responsibility to abide by the rules and instead of a relaxation of the restrictions that the very in-state premier mock was zuda would rather see a tougher enforcement by authorities to fight the virus if a policeman. people who come from risk areas take a coronavirus task to refuse to take one along with those who deliberately violate the measures must face a fine otherwise all of this makes little sense. and factions rise in

germany the best way to deal with the pandemic looks set to cause further debate. it's to india now where the race to develop a vaccine against the virus has become embroiled in politics with the world's 3rd worst casualty rate in the india's need is of course urgent and that's led to claims about when a vaccine will be ready and some scientists say it's not realistic. with more than $50000.00 new covered cases every day india is rapidly approaching the $2000000.00 mark yet india has entered its unlocked 3 feet easing restrictions put them in their eyes in numbers and the threat of another see the slow down has people avoid it but indian researchers are hard at work trying to find an answer in the form of a vaccine once a vaccine is it a thing should improve its. it should it would also give us consolation on many fronts it's

a reassuring things would be better at least. you would be that scared walking out in public and maybe you won't have to made the mask or the dying in july 2 indian vaccine candidates initiated peace one human trials do this will be administering to more than 2 years spread over a dozen states the indian government says it feels it has a moral imperative to develop the vaccine and many major indian pharmaceutical brands are eager to oblige. 60 percent of the vaccine supply in the world whether it be africa europe. southeast asia anywhere of indian origin india is. perceived and is an important in the vaccines for supply for the word this pressure however took a political tone india top medical research body in a letter to trial sites said that the trial should be expedited to have the vaccine

ready to launch by mid of this this raised serious concerns on whether these extraordinarily expedited trials will be safe and ethical the move was seen by critics as for the indian prime minister to make a dramatic announcement in his independence day speech on aug 15th out of rallying on a cry that india can be self-reliant. but after pressure from medical community the government body clarified that no compromises would be made on safety and that the deadline was simply to expedite the trials and. in geology the researchers say that it could take close to a year for the 1st 2 faeces of the indian vaccine trials to be completed and so far there's been no work for. few years. which promises.

but with close to a 5th of the world's population of india is seen as crucial to test the efficacy of any covert vaccine the rapidly rising burden of the disease and the intent to be self-reliant raises the stakes even further. let's get more on this now is just wall in. is india in a position to win the race for a covert 19 backswing. i grant you when the world is no different to be true surely is a model of this definitely wants to as we mentioned that have lots of the indian government as well documented and he says 47 india has a moral duty to provide the start. at least has to benefit because of its massive manufacturing capacity as well as the mass of research the past already gotten it out we also have to buy minister tool because of this and then make emphasising

that in doubt must be self-reliant however let's say that it could dick as long as the flow of what you can 2nd quarter of next year to finish just the cost to create some of the trials that have started in india last month so even though it has been the least i have needed and it was as quickly as once ok regardless of the deadline the time and whether india wins will india in the future when it comes to a final vaccine be one of the main providers of that drug that is definitely a seed for the option actually brand just late last night on sunday india has job approval or actually give shula who was for the these 2 when these 2 trials of the vaccine by a vaccine that unfortunate which happens to be the largest in the world and even if we look beyond this yes manufacturing of pieces capacities just the size of the population thinks it an important accompli china has given up any of the important

look at that scene and idiots that are in the front of of this vaccine development not wanting fast tracking development as it has been found in vaccines that happen i think you should not want to have much focus that perhaps interrupted time that's another reason why india and china and india can't bitch. of course as a number 3 casualties and fatalities are right now and nonetheless it's decided to relax its pandemic guidelines what's behind. mode of government endeavor and continue into the quarter and then again especially in what was it i'm not phases to emphasize that people have to learn to live that divide us and we can't slow down the economy but any longer and that be must forge want to head out let's get precautions are not in sight and even go the burden of the disease is rising just quickly like you cross the 2000000 mop this meat in yet also

emphasizing the fact that the ecology is just very high it's vet about 65 plus and already as of today and in cities such as andy is actually lost and i was sent my daddy on the other hand is having a little when reports and so this is what is making it to believe that it can manage this and next measure thanks so much for that from delhi. on other news it's to formula one now and britain's lewis hamilton claimed victory in his homegrown trade silverstone but he had to do so in extraordinary circumstances after dominating the race from pole position his left tires punctured in the final lap leaving him to limp home for the 87th victory of his career that left him just 4 short of michel's for markers record red bull's marks for stop and finish 2nd or would have won had he not made a late headstock. the state of the news desk it's a reminder of our top story right now 2 u.s. astronauts have splashed down the gulf of mexico on board space x.'s dragon capsule

bob behnken and doug hurley successfully completing the 1st flight into space and back operated by a public private cooperation it was also the 1st water level is carried out by nasa since 1975. there's always a time where i'm brian thomas the entire team thanks for the 3rd. day there i'm david and this is climate change. happiness in 3 books. this is the book for you to. get smarter for free books i want you to.
