made a landmark splash down as the 1st commercial crewed mission to the international space station returned to earth it was also the 1st blast on landing after a u.s. base mission since 1975 space x. and 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 out. 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 but through tame from space 6 and nasa the u.s. space agency that contract is it for this mission is pretty much complete so right even after the landing the danger wasn't over the dragon capsule weighs over $12000.00 kilo for docking it and extracting the 2 astronauts inside
9:03 am
a delicate endeavor teams currently working with a few private schools no one at space 6 saw this coming out of several sightseeing by it's approaching that cap show with it gushing propellant few the pleasure boats were ordered to leave the area mediately. there we can see the lift. in the end the dragon made it to shore of the water and we have our 1st view and astronauts doug hurley and bob behnken emerged planet. with a huge thumbs up and an optimistic message for the u.s. and the. moment just. given all the things that have happened here again on the left doug hurley on the right mission accomplished by 6 and who pioneered public private partnerships in out of spice. 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
9:04 am
coast and bringing our capability back to america it's also a personal triumph a spy 6 found in a lawn musk public controversies have begun to overshadow his recent business successes. you know i'm not very religious but i prayed for this one. theory. but here it is this. space x. is next mission is planned for september and the firm is hoping it will launch spice tourists into orbit next year. because of a separation for $35.00 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 we talked with nasa watches keith cowing and i asked him what was so significant about this mission well it's interesting because the idea of putting humans in
9:05 am
a capsule and launching him into space and then having them splash down into water isn't necessarily new that sifton as was new to neuter piece we haven't done it here in the states in 45 years we've ridden on cruise line and soviet space russian spacecraft and before that soviet space and they were you know only and so we haven't had a chance to do this in a long time but def sustained year and more important things that this spacecraft wasn't a government spacecraft it was bought by the government now the service is run what 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 is the chance of going further than just a professional astronauts maybe commercial asked months and maybe someday you wouldn't of if you break down some of the other stories making the news this hour microsoft says talks are continuing with chinese tech company by dance to buy the

9:07 am
a debate about the limits that can be placed on the right to public assembly the german minister for justice has affirmed that right well while at the same time insisting the rules like wearing masks must be observed that most of the 20000 people taking part in the protests did not follow guidelines which led to a number of arrests. some today's protest 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 entrenched. 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 leave them on the mention hide and 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
9:08 am
a relaxation of the restrictions the bavarian state premier mako sudha would rather see a tougher enforcement by authorities to fight the virus if a policeman people who come from risk areas and don't take it coronavirus test or refuse to take one along with those who deliberately violate the measures must face a fine otherwise all of this makes little sense. doesn't factions rise in germany the best way to deal with the pandemic looks set to cause further debate. that debate very much in the headlines this morning i'm joined now by our political correspondent moneyball shay's good morning and money well observers were very surprised taken aback by the size of this demonstration and about who was there well in fact people who came from all of a county to that process on saturday 20 tasm people. you say there's a mix of reasons for that for them to be there you could find and have access who
9:09 am
really worry about possible. vaccine ones and if a vaccine is found. a conspiracy theories you had representatives of the far right movements and of the new nazi movements as well but you also had people you know every day people who. were being. trampled on because of the measures being taken to try and tackle the pandemic now you also have signs that likened to wearing a mask to wearing a yellow star doing world war 2 or for example. there was a banner showing that the high had which means the day of freedom except that this name is actually the name of a nazi propaganda film by any defense star so those signs were problematic as well . people were calling for angela merkel the chancellor from christopher christian dastan who is the main just the one who's
9:10 am
a big it will become quite famous doing that and then he for us to be locked up so we see a sea of angry people who demonstrated on saturday in berlin ok the politicians were very quick to respond to those especially considering the size of the demonstrations what were they say well for example the has ministers say that of course people have a right to protest that's not put in question however if they do so without respect and social distancing without wearing masks then they and then other people are covered for example the black hole 2 of june here in belen and there was also the question of how safe it was that for example when there was the biggest protests which gathered 15000 people everybody was wearing a mask so we really see 2 sides of german society that are clashing at the moment ok not only clashing this one part of germany. society clearly rejecting guidelines
9:11 am
that we've been following since march yeah exactly i think somehow a lack of trust for one part of the german society towards the government and its handling of the crisis is a signs of impatience and perhaps it's more difficult to understand here in germany because the country hasn't been hit so hard by the pandemic not as hard as spain not as hot as france or italy for example and things considered here in germany we had a very mild look down we're still about to go out to a seat able to do a lot of things that other countries couldn't yet a lot of people feel that their fundamental freedoms are being texans ok not not as severe as a lot of places like like spain or france the lockdowns you have schools reopening today in the german state of mecklenburg for bombing other school so and other states to follow what are the guidelines for school reopening today in mexico for those 150000 children which will go back to school to pass on is to make
9:12 am
it as normal as possible given the circumstances they will have 4 to 5 teaching hours per day including music classic sports classes as well when the mosque want to become post-surgery the children will be asked to respect social distancing and when not possible not to touch each other in any case and also school year is will be divided so as to know for one class or one school year to be quarantined quarantine doesn't infection but so as not to affect the whole school ok so localizing also any possible lockdowns moving forward emanuel thanks so much for coming in on this today thank you. and staying in germany the german institute for economic research has been examining the distribution of wealth here and it's found that the richest people own far more of the nation's assets than was previously thought findings suggest
9:13 am
a widening gulf between the haves and the have nots is in fact statistically founded. hamburg one of germany's richest cities around 42000 millionaires live here and their numbers keep rising but how much do the richest germans really have a new report provides some answers the figures are explosive the richest one percent of germans own 35.3 percent of the wealth and the richer half of the population owns 98.6 percent that leaves 1.4 percent for all the rest. this inequality has economic and social consequences the authors of the study are cautious in their assessment. as a different title as from readings the distribution of wealth at least for me as an economist has 2 aspects the 1st is the efficiency aspect where you ask
9:14 am
yourself ok is the economy working the way it should. wealth concentration wouldn't matter as much if the wealth was in the hands of the most capable entrepreneur. but of course there are also the political and moral aspects is it fairly shared fertile and. that's an issue is that bush has been stressing for years the granddaughter and heiress of german industrial magnate robert bosch is committed to redistributing wealth that sets her apart from others in her wealth bracket. i'm worried about democracy. we know that confidence in democracy is declining i mean. if people's assumption is confirmed that elites are entrenched and super rich then for many it won't make voting easier and it will give the wrong parties a boost. this study now confirms germany has one of the widest
9:15 am
wealth gaps in europe. into knots and in the international context we see that germany is a country with high wealth inequality this is similar to the us but also similar to other countries with strong welfare states where the pension system is strong and where protection during one's working life is also strong but because of this protection people don't have to save as much private wealth. as from the bottom for ease of bosch wealth means responsibility she finances many foundations and she wants to make wealthy people pay more taxes it seems now we see these rich people they're here we have a clearer picture of them it's time to roll up our sleeves and change things. is a boss has a clear stance on germany's wealth concentration this report could spark
9:16 am
a big debate on the subject. it's to india now where the race to develop a vaccine against the corona virus has become embroiled in politics with the world's 3rd worst the towie rate in this in the is needed is of course urgent and that's led to claims about when a vaccine will be ready that some scientists say is a response. with more than $50000.00 new covered cases every day india is rapidly approaching the $2000000.00 mark yet india has entered its 3 feet even restrictions . the rise in numbers and the threat of another serious lockdown has people worried but indian researchers are hard at work trying to find an answer in the form of a vaccine. should improve its. it should it would also give us consolation on many fronts. be assuring things would be better at least. you won't be that scared walking out in public and maybe you won't have to made the mosque or the time in
9:17 am
july to indian vaccine candidates initiated p.s. one human trials. will be administering to volunteers spread over a dozen sites 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 or. anywhere of indian origin india is. perceived and is an important player in the vaccines for supply for the world this pressure however took a political tone india top medical research body in a letter to trial sites said that the trials should be expedited to have the vaccine ready to launch by mid of this raised serious concerns on whether these extraordinarily expedited trials will be safe and the move was seen by critics as
9:18 am
the indian prime minister to make a dramatic announcement in his independence day speech on aug 15th are rallying on a cry that 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 research is see that it could take close to a year for the 1st 2 phases of the indian vaccine trials to be completed and so far there's been no works here it's just gone. up and cycle. steady roxy mistaken if you if you are so. many vaccines. which promises. but with close to a 5th of the world's population india is seen as crucial to test the efficacy of
9:19 am
any call that back seen 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 with the mission just fall in delhi. is india in a position to win the race for a covert 19 backswing. i grant you in the world is no definitely a very short it's a mop and this is definitely one still as we mentioned that a lot of the indian government as well documented and she said so that india has a moral duty to provide this back. at least has the benefit because of its massive manufacturing capacity as well as the massive research the past already got in india we also have a prime minister tool it also does and then make emphasising that in doubt must be self-reliant however let's say that it could do it as long as the flow of what or
9:20 am
what even the 2nd quarter of next year to finish just the plus 2 priests of the trials that have stopped it in india last month so even though it does well in the areas that have needed it well 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 well that is definitely a seat of the action actually grant just late last night on sunday india has job approval or actually give sure who it is for the these do when these 2 trials of the vaccine by a vaccine manufacturer which happens to be the largest in the world and even if they look beyond this yes manufacturing a piece let's get past these just the size of the population thinks it important only 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
9:21 am
as it has been found in vaccines that happen i think you should know much more focus that perhaps interrupted time that's another reason why india and china and india can bitch ok india of course is a number 3 casualties and fatalities are right now and nonetheless it's decided to relax since pandemic guidelines what's behind. most government debt brian has continued to the cost of and ethnic especially what it was it's i'm not phases to emphasize that people have to divide us and we can't slow down the economy but any longer and be must forge ahead as let's. say and even go the burden of the disease is rising just quickly like the $2000000.00 mob this week in us also emphasizing the fact that the ecology is very high it's belly up $65.00 plus and already after deep and high pitched cities such as eddie it's
9:22 am
actually a must and i sent my dad you on the other hand is having a little winner once and so this is what you just believe that it can manage the next. thanks so much for that from dell it's. a new bridges to be inaugurated in genoa replacing a structure that you might recall collapsed. a number of deaths crews worked around the clock to complete the ponto son george traffic later this week. a beacon of hate rising from the depths of tragedy this leaky structure announced terms in place in general is randy bridge almost 2 years ago to the day 43 people were killed when a section of the bridge collapsed sending vehicles plummeting on to the riverbed. these is my watch. me my chance to have done to the bridge mr pro-life. had to be
9:23 am
demolished on to the collapse. she still remembers the crack of the concrete crashing to the ground. but i financed it will be still a police complaint i mean i opened the window and saw that bridge had vanished that i saw those 2 large lorries one white and one red right next to my house and in that moment a wave of anger washed over me because i knew those few cars were coffins. where the market made on the double a battery the scale of the disaster made the new construction a matter of national importance designed by general born star architect renzo piano the 1000 metre long span was completed in just over a year where continued day and night even during the worst of italy's coronavirus crisis its success is considered a model for the rest of italy. it was such a tragedy such a terrible scene but i happened to do the work in one here and so fine.
9:24 am
sure that. from. what we can do anyway good things parts of the relatives who lost loved ones the new branch is no cause for celebration a group of 30 sister brother in law and their 2 children were killed in the disaster she says the effort put into the construction is a fresh source of pain if each. leg. it is tough to see the joy surrounding this construction. we would have been happy if this huge project was john earlier the old bridge should have been demolished before our families were destroyed property market and those for a family to force at least through. the criminal investigations underway after poor maintenance was blamed for the disaster for eg lay this was
9:25 am
a national scandal one new construction alone went to fix the new bridge can't heal the wings of those who lost loved ones but it is a powerful step to. piecing together a city torn apart by tragedy it quite literally reconnect with west and offers this community a sign of hope and regeneration. they like. it's quite simple and light. never forget that day but hopes the new bridge will represent the 1st start for genoa. city this is a wound which will stay with us there always comes a moment when you need to move on to live in the present and accept the past this is the present time. we have some sports now formula one britain's lewis hamilton claimed victory in his home grand prix it's over stone not even some luck it stop. there were no home funds to cheer on lewis hamilton.
9:26 am
but there was certainly plenty of display a world war 2. the efforts of the u.k.'s emergency services during the pandemic. predictably soared away from the puck. the british performance was so dominant that red bulls. a distant 2nd decided to make a late pit stop it was a costly moves that meant the young dutchman couldn't take advantage when hamilton's front left tire blew on his last lap the mercedes month over the line and even he couldn't quite believe it. afterwards the relief was plain. around the. 87 and then just 4 away from michael schumacher time record.
