9:06 am
governor he tweeted in a massive ranch 25 people were injured among them to people who've been seriously injured but in the worst of all eventually casualties what i could witness with. the as we were hunkering down that the woman with a series of bleeding was basically very very close to us she was. carried towards the small let's call it parking lot of a hunkering down sized the one woman injured yesterday night but surely or very much supposedly from a number of gunshots and given the fact that the light was turned off he was just about to become even in the lights be turned off apparently the c.c.t.v. cameras have been also taken away just before the shooting started so i believe apart from what we. on social media and apart from for to do it to some local journalists or us it would be very difficult to see from the official level what really happened because simply at this point nothing has been published very

cause but local authorities are saying the virus here is so widespread that specific incidents that caused the spread of the virus here cannot be pinpointed. the people they're coping with along. well we've seen people going about their business here this morning it is not full of people but people are going to the bakery taking out their dog they say they are ok with the lock down if it does manage to bring down the high number of coronavirus cases here what they are not looking forward to is spending so much time at home for the next 2 weeks some think it will eventually be longer than 2 weeks something they have already done in the spring and they are not really looking forward to that i can imagine the best has got in the land is also a prime tourist destination the local economy is highly dependent on tourism so what does the law mean for that. it is an especially hard time for this lockdown

cyrus rex started its journey to the asteroid for the past 2 years of its mission osiris rex has been orbiting the asteroid looking for the perfect spot to land for only a brief encounter a few seconds almost like a kiss on the surface was all the time osiris rex had to grab rock and dust samples from the asteroid seconds that have been here in the making room i can tell you that everything went well just exactly perfect which is kind of the hallmark of this team we have consistently beating expectations over and over again we have overcome the amazing challenges that this asteroid has thrown at us and the spacecraft appears to have operated flawlessly it was the 1st time nasa has touched down on an asteroid but it could be a week before scientists know if and how much the spacecraft gravity still the mission is already a success i mean like haven't we actually pulled this off. if the sample collection
9:15 am
was successful cyrus rex will begin its long journey home and return to earth and 2023. more on this let's bring in david brown an astronomer at the university of warwick thanks for being with us dr brown 1st of all tell us why is this mission so important. good morning as a couple of main reasons really for this mission being so such a big landmark and the 1st is that bennett is a prime mortal objects we think it hasn't changed the origin of the solar system since the planets were formed so by studying this asteroid we can really learn a lot about the earth its formation and how the solar system has interacted through history and the other reason is that there is a very low chance but a chance nonetheless that benu will have some close encounters with the ethnic
9:16 am
future. great talking centuries in the future so by learning more about it we can study those potential and close encounters and see see how likely they lie might truly be. if you're still with us we have seem to lost you there for a moment we're talking about a 4 year journey good to hear you a 4 year journey for 300000000 kilometers and the mission is only half way through what's the trickiest part of this mission. to not leave for the team i think the trickiest part was the one they completed last night and the touchdown and. all that we hope has been successful and i think was definitely the hardest part it had to be done completely autonomous late because of the time delay in receiving signals can you still having yeah we hear you go ahead
9:17 am
and. and the surface of bennett was also a lot more rocky and and debris filled with than the team were expecting so navigating the spacecraft down to the point where it could collect a sample. was quite was quite that difficult so i think that the hardest part is done ok just to quickly is it clear that the spacecraft actually did collect what it was hoping to get from the asteroid. and not yet so some photographs what's the process but they haven't been able to put the radio it was to be to collect those yet so it has to pick up on through over the next couple of days and there are some tests that the spacecraft will do you over the next week or so to check that the sample has been collected if it hasn't been one to have another chance to do it and the next month ok fascinating david brown an
