are preparing to go to the polls to vote in a referendum on whether to replace the country's pinochet era constitution the present constitution is considered by many to prevent social progress and justice the vote comes after a year of mass and rest against social inequality. a suicide bombing in afghanistan's capital kabul has killed at least 18 people and wounded many more the interior ministry says the blast struck an educational center in a western district of the city the so-called islamic state militant group has claimed responsibility for the attack. this is d.w. news from bolen follow us on twitter and instagram at news or this is our website w dot com.

org. for. this week on the world stories. british sheep farmers fear for their livelihoods. dangerous apportions in kenya but we begin in the south caucasus where han conflict between armenia and azerbaijan continued this week despite a cease fire the 2 nations from the former soviet union are involved in a dispute over the not going to car park region which has already cost the lives of many civilians. on the ruins of wood used to be her life. her neighborhood was destroyed in the missile attack over the weekend. her home for 9 years. this is from where the rocket came there were houses everywhere here but they were hit and everything got destroyed. the small

sport school to. look they were close and mattresses lying around my belongings also somewhere here. next to the bombed out homes a makeshift memorial. many gunja residents come here to commemorate those killed in the attack certain people according to the authorities. they bring flowers and signs saying who they blame the army an army. the rest in peace gunja people may god bless you. since late september armenia and azerbaijan have been at war for nagorno-karabakh again. and it is difficult to get an independent picture of the situation in the

region both sides report military successes both countries accuse each other of fueling the fight in. 2 attempts at a ceasefire have already failed propaganda and war rhetoric determine everyday life. also here in the city center of gunja most people we speak to support the azerbaijan more distant with the power and strength of our army will soon be taken in the flag of us or by john will be erased that although much of our registered as a woman to join our army i'm ready. this clock you know that's been changed we're not afraid of me my family and fellow citizens all of us so willing to sacrifice our life for a nation we will never back down this is imo close to the old us after the fatal attack on gunja as a by john has the right to defend itself many here say. he now has to look

for a new beginning in the ruins of her own life. the likelihood that britain will fail to reach an agreement on its future relations with the e.u. by the end of this year is growing sheep farmers are especially concerned for their livelihoods and what possible tariffs on their exports will look like 90 percent of what they produce is kindly sold to the european union. frank languorous and his son ed the 4th generation seeks farmers should they raise some 5000 sheep in the southern english county of kept most of the meat is that support for us. the french like a lamb like this which has a good conformation. they want them weighing around about $18.00 to $20.00 kilos as a carcass. not too much fat just

a little fat they are very discerning like good quality lamb course if there's no trade deal between britain and the european union customs duties of as much as 50 percent could be levied on every carcass and extra border checks might mean the meat being less fresh when it arrives in france go to the. and then they go into a refrigerated truck and normally they're killed one day and they're in the paris market the next morning and the delays to that will cause big problems if they're talking about you know 4 or 5 days of customs checks and lorries how it up it's just going to. impact the supply chain. parts prices. in the languages also farm cattle which are subject to strict quality regulations they fear that often brags it cheaper low quality meat from the u.s. could damage the how market despite this many farmers including some of the languishes neighbors voted for brakes and other now requesting observers here at

cannes weekly cattle auction most pharma say they just have to construe it i think farms just got to make the most the situation that it will have the legislation is in place and whatever tires we have and get on with it we will be better off in the end but it will be very hard in the interim period all be on a start just starting our coaching on not looking forward to it because often it's going to be a long haul to hold we have bricks without government subsidies many farmers might be facing bankruptcy particularly in the absence of a trade deal and languish is furious. it's just disbelief that they can tell so many lies you know it's it's you know the whole there won't be queues everything will be fine it will be the easiest free trade agreement history. it is just proved it will be so much rubbish.

father and son are hoping all the same that children will take over the business fish generation farmer despite threats it. to africa in kenya abortions are only allowed under very specific circumstances as a result women in the east african country die daily due to unsafe and the legal procedures and aid organization is doing its best to improve the situation. we call her nursy that's not her real name she was 16 when she fell pregnant she was scared because she knew her mother would not allow her to keep the baby her mother forced her to have an abortion now for fear of repercussions nursy hides her face. i went to a local medicine man i stayed there for 3 days he gave me herbal medicine and i took it and. on the 2nd day i started seeing blood i was

very afraid. there are people who were bored and they seemed fine. i thought i would die if the she was lucky many girls and women don't survive such ordeals it's estimated that in kenya 7 women die each day from unsafe abortions like the one mercy had marginalized and poor women are especially vulnerable such as those here in the math or islam of abortions are illegal in kenya there are only a few strict exceptions women cannot simply go to the nearest hospital for help instead they come to this man he's well known for carrying out abortions along with other procedures even though he has no medical training he's respected in his community as a christian medicine man for people who can't afford hospital treatment mercy says she came to him to she paid the equivalent of 8 euros for the abortion we ask the

man directly he denies performing abortions nevertheless he knows exactly how an abortion is done i'm not. given an injection drug and they're sent home so the pregnancy can terminate there many of these women die if there are lucky they do die if they're lucky the pregnancy terminate safely it's usually bad however if. they resign by that's why in most cases the women need professional help after the abortion international aid organization marries stops offers around the clock help for women who can't afford hospitalization. yeah but with dramatic experiences i'm deaf or will finally put in that we started the counseling part we also emergency treatment which includes. what we give you until about 6 painkiller last and even sometimes you have to take it to get up if the injuries that have happened to the old mary stopes is only allowed to carry out of bush and if it's an emergency

if the mother's life is in danger or if it's a rape case otherwise they too would be punishable according to kenyan law of course mercy would have preferred to have seen a real doctor i mean is this image i would save someone wants to get an abortion they should go to a hospital. because those men would just give you some kind of medicine and then tell you when the pregnancy has been terminated they only want your money in the end you are the one who has to suffer. despite the stigma she faces from her community she thinks every woman should have the right to a safe abortion. our last journey takes us to china the country where the coronavirus pandemic began at the end of $29000.00 almost a year later like there has largely returned to normal including travel and tourism . the beginning of

october is china's travel season around national day most people get a week off it's a high point for beijing's cultural sites like the big city which shows $14000000.00 tourists a year. it is also the 1st national day holiday since the outbreak of covert 19 just over half a year ago beijing city center looked very different during the winter beijing's heritage sites were shut down because of the epidemic travel restrictions were in place in the whole country. china has brought the epidemic under control there are virtually no more domestic transmission and people are enjoying a return to normal life. i spent the last half a year at home it's only recently that i've been going out again i feel like i've been liberated. it's great the disease can't time to share enthusiasm in china

we feel the country has responded very well. there are still measures in place people have to use the health and scan the code to register at certain locations tourist sites have limited visitor numbers estimates put the number of tourists in china during this season at 550000000 people that would be 2 thirds of last year's figure. you can see it on the street there are far fewer people than another year to. show. there are fewer people so the atmosphere isn't as lively as usual and people still have to wear masks. china's economy has returned to positive growth government spending on infrastructure and construction has brought workers back into the city. but growth is still a lot slower than in previous years private consumption specially is lagging behind

companies have cut wages and council bonuses for their employees in downtown beijing that traces of the past 6 months are still visible experts have long warned of china's imbalance growth too much investment and too that will consumption or that 19 has made these warnings ever more urgent thanks. again beethoven is for me. is for you. beethoven is for help. beethoven is for her. beethoven is for the.

beethoven is for us. is for every block of. beethoven 2020 the 250th anniversary here on deal here. it was the 1st international tribunal in history. trials. 75 years ago high ranking officers of the nazi regime or judging by the allied forces. were the 1st war criminals to be held accountable for their crimes for. them i'm. going. right for. our 2 part series the 3rd right the book starts november 12th on d w. germany

is a leading industrial nation that still has many areas that desperately lag behind on the telecoms fronts and that applies to both landlines and internet access though broadband speed rankings constantly fluctuates germany ranks in the mid thirty's compared to other countries. and while other countries pick up the pace germany is struggling to keep up. my one solution be an extraterrestrial one providing high speed internet for everyone.

the earth's orbit will soon be home to new constellations of satellites in the thousands could they make the vision of fast connectivity everywhere on earth a reality. which regions in germany have the worst internet connection and how is performance measured. the engineering consultancy group p 3 specializes in gauging the signal strength of networks for mobile phone and internet providers its fleet of several dozen cars ferries it specialists all across europe to detect any gaps in coverage. that technicians measured the surfing speed of various. websites

including the up and down load of data and video streaming aborted transfers and sluggish intermittent connectivity indicate deficits in network quality of the telephones and i'm computer on the phones or being connected to a computer where a sound file is being played but. i'm not just a tennis killer for the 1st 4 calls the 2nd one is a chord and once that calls over there's a brief pause right and then the 2nd phone calls the 1st one. and that's repeated all day long so as to objectively determine the voice quality and that it will cut . the team also use the test websites to check d.s.l. and landline connections on millions of computers worldwide. that enables or left to must pay fee and their fellow engineers in a hurry to give provide just an overview with global networks the information reveals how well or poorly competitive is up

a full many dollars that's who is in and this is data gathered from users around the world. about a piece of software that is integrated in around 900 apps is the software is into gear and these apps are installed on around 200000000 devices well whine and go there and study up for not going to users agree to be involved in network quality assessment this out will register the actual user experience they are. most. wherever the user is using their device to download material all viewed videos we can see in the background how the network coverage was very good for us we would whether it was 3 g. or 4 g.'s which country which provider and a lot of other information we get our information not via the users but via the networks and that's. the biggest battle next in coverage within.

gemini are in the east of the country but some of the worst internet connection is down in the southwest in the area around the town if. you're going beats has teamed up with other local residents calling for free internet and the local authorities are also helping to set up wife i hope spots across the area the only alternative is to use mobile phone providers across the border in switzerland albeit at a price. to strides in it's a shocking coverage from switzerland is great here is that i have a weak signal for a german network and strong signals for 2 swiss want to be exposed in kind of being unable to access data was on the road is a major problem for companies from and services lies the company. i can't do after sales or carry out jobs or orders i can't give my clients any information soon to get to students. and the emergency services can't get the data and information they need to help people who've had an accident. some areas yes

so remote that network providers are reluctant to invest in installing broadband cables and that includes places along some of germany's highways and non-urban roads some kind of side. so you can't use the time on the road for a couple of phone conversations because the call will cut out every 2 or 3 minutes so you have to reconnect it's not worth it and food places are kind to look for dot . com kind of people who have an accident out here might get lucky and pick up a couple of radio waves otherwise they have to walk to the next inhabited building and ask for assistance but it's basically like a mere 900 more in someone but those beautiful landscapes can also cause major headaches when it comes to expanding network coverage is probably most of the problem is the demography high but not 2nd in the finale surrounded by the black forest hills features that are unfavorable for network planners. and it's practically impossible. well to provide that density of coverage with conventional

technology fast i can. comment on a location and here too there are companies that are completely dependent on fast broadband connections to the rest of the world. software specializes in the digitalisation of the global working world providing solutions for shift chills and interactive management. birds that heenan is home to both the companies are indeed department and its global sales division the company would have had to close its premises in the town had it not been for some smart solutions devised by its own developers. conference is here every day online presentations from remote system configurations and online training sessions and that requires a fast internet connection and director. of austin in the us so we also need a good connection to that office we have this hunger for data and it's growing

every day. down in the basement the software engineers managed to solve their internet problem by combining a range of different elements you could hop on a plane top a number of internet connection has a d.s.l. line a cable connection and are planning to throw a 3rd anchor on cross 1st responder but basically there is an excellent l.t.e. network just a few 100 metres away from here and we are linking up all these lines to create a very fast internet connection and internet from the. technical obstacles alone mean that makeshift solutions like this and not an option for private individuals and that's a gap that year than beats wants to fill he and his fellow free internet activists have instilled free wife i in most public buildings in bad 2nd and i know you have class that's a crystal clear reception of. the cosmo before you go but it's a big network providers or most of them offer customers

a voice over ip option was the fatah the advantage there is that people can then make phone calls via y. 5 and fatah so with the right contracts you can now form people for free being under that talks on its own. god 2nd already has dozens of free internet terminals enabling local people to surf and make phone calls we're going to set his sights even higher however on fiber in the sky a fast internet connection via satellite. fiber in the sky is a fundamental fiber in the sky is definitely an option but it avoids the need to dig up roads everywhere which is what prevents network expansion and cable me of about providing the right bandwidth here view of iraq to cable as a means length 3 out of 4 or 5 kilometers of cables sort of humidity that's extremely expensive in a hilly area with hard ground fiber in the sky comes from above the sky come from everyone has their own direct receiver and high speed internet that is important.

in french guiana is the launched. the air bus and arianespace satellites they orbit the earth at an altitude of 36000 kilometers and always above the same point they serve primarily to transfer t.v. and radio broadcasts. the geostationary communications satellites are assembled into loose from. they way up to 6 times and have an operating life of 25 years each satellite is highly complex and custom built and can cost up to $250000000.00 euros. and that's why current satellite based internet connections are so expensive demand for this option however is continually on the rise.

the rinker panama has been part of a revolution in satellite design in recent years from individual components to mass production. in fact. from the design to the delivery to the customer we can provide such advice as that 3 years 1st is quite short. an innovation in power technology systems heralded a new era in satellite construction. for satellites developed. but vision so far it's. a big gain in terms of mass at lunch any turlough hosts. to have more equipments on board and to have an interesting no cost at launch as well. geostationary satellites orbit the earth at a distance of 36000 kilometers. acetate. the

consortium led by one where also includes virgin galactic defense and space and tech giant softbank together they've pulled close to 3 and a half $1000000000.00 to make the dream of global internet access a reality. has provided its specific expertise to enable the mass production of satellites. so it was a big challenge in fact as you know we are really. experimental you know. it's a. big satellite production but for mass production it was a challenge to provide satellites even though. a few days compared to here where we have and i hear interviews integration takes around 9 months and. 3 days which was a really crazy fall for the markets and so today we got to let. him know what

a way of. his past he is currently at one satellite day one with plans to launch its global service in 2021 with 650 satellites orbiting at an altitude of 1200 kilometers the next step involves the constellation being expanded to more than 2000 units which has in turn required the development of completely new production methods. rockdale so as a test engineer he oversees a production setup that manages with a minimum of human input the newly designed propulsion systems are also built here in scaled down versions of the fuel tanks filled with zen on gas provided by an unexpected source. here is how the space truck is going to move from one point of space to 0.0 work out is going to put a special ops

a certain altitude but then the satellites need to reach much higher odds that you and the way we're going to do that is by users 1st or so it's. just. for firefighters it was designed by a company that didn't really know how to do space so it's much cheaper than more traditional. ones superstars don't move over some very very good and we really want to avoid human errors so the way we're going to do that we're going to take a picture with cameras here and the pictures of him being there will be compared to reference a picture. of them to do differences will be able to save save ourselves on a good job. with human error essentially ruled out high volume production is possible with short turnaround times. when you're doing.

it's easier to get cheaper price. terms of testing we are doing less testing so we need fewer people cheaper and saw from our order of magnitude is maybe like a bit more than $100.00 but if you want to buy the satellite if you will be a roughly a 1000000 and if you want your sobriety it will be way more than a 1000000000 people online. london based one web has no official license from the country's aerospace also read and sees itself on a mission to bridge the digital divide. the company's current and potential future cleone tell includes banks and lines shipping companies industry disaster relief agencies and the military. and consumers will initially be able to book the service fire local telecom providers and it's already seen in the mobile phone sector the price will be lower

in africa than in germany for example. my kids a previously worked in systems engineering for nasa and as part of the design team for the one web satellite constellation the company was the 1st among the competing consorts here to receive approval from the international telecommunications union a united nations agency. and that license is absolutely mandatory for providing the service the one word system use this radio frequency spectrum in order to send information. to customers to provide this broadband internet connectivity you need spectrum that's a span of radio wave flags in order to transmit information at high to rates the more special that you have the more data that you can provide and because you are used to these these broadband speeds of being able

to stream video. send information very quickly back and forth we need a lot of spectrum in order to provide that service to so many people. designing a constellation of satellites in constant contact with each other and the earth is a complex undertaking. it involves a number of technical process is to function at the same time processes that have no precedence. the brain of the constellation the ground network operations center is in london it's headed by alan here at. home where my responsible for looking after a the ground network so we're due to call functions 1st of all we provide situational awareness so we look for anomalies in the ground that work out where they occur we work to resolve them scripts. and secondly we do what we call

a resource part and resource plan is really the crane's of how the system works which brings together the ground that work can turn us spacecraft and the pay out of natural user you trace the ground stations run automatically and the fitted with 30 antennae each maintaining contact with 30 satellites. there are currently just 2 fully functional stations one in spitsbergen norway and the other on sicily it's a complete global coverage distributed across the planet you would need just $45.00 ground stations interconnected. very quickly as you say we're going to be scaling up country q 2 next year we're going to be out in 3 ground stations every month since a huge ramp up to what we're doing today so it is all about testing and integration actually is all going to be about bringing those cross stations in service.

ground stations always seek the best possible connection to the satellite that is closest to the user and can provide the best possible bandwidth. the relevant signal shifts from one satellite to another with the user remaining placed very unaware. the one web consortium is currently ahead of rivals google space x. and amazon and by the end of 2021 it hopes to have a constellation numbering $650.00 satellites going to either way the earth's orbit is set to get a lot of traffic in the near future how will the engineers ensure that there are no collisions so something we're doing one where is is actually enhancing our safety by separating each plane in the cost solution so there are multiple planes of multiple satellites each and if there are the same altitude you have the sort of

crossing point or salaries are zipping past each other at very high velocities so what we do is we separate those crossing points so the salaries are actually not zipping past one another when that means us we're actually in some regards we only have to manage a single plane at a time and you can apply that same principle to other cost solutions so we are maintaining. many kilometers of separation between space x. space x. is separate from. the amazon constellation and that's a very important safety detail to make sure that operators are not trying to launch an operate hundreds of thousands of satellites within the same amount of space. satellite constellations are not the only inhabitants of. those serious traffic in immediate amount of space in addition to countless disused satellites there is spent rocket elements fragments of exhibited space craft and other space debris

circling the planet the result is. now comprising 20000 objects with a diameter of 10 centimeters more joined 570-0000 smaller objects at least one centimeter in some cases and the speed at which they move makes them extremely dangerous. so if there is a question space it can be catastrophic objects earth orbit are typically traveling around 25000 kilometers per hour and even a small object say 10 centimeters can carry enough energy to fragment a large satellite into thousands of pieces and so if such an event occurs. now you go from one cell in one piece of debris to thousands of pieces of debris and each of those pieces of debris might carry enough energy to again fragment

a different satellite and so you know there's a sphere of a sort of chain reaction where one collision creates debris that debris strikes another satellite creating even more debris. and there are still no rules on the behavior of satellite constellations whether traffic related or on safety or ethics the only stipulation is a ban on stationing weapons in earth's orbit and that the satellites have to be safely day old after 25 years. one webb has decided to let its satellites expire in the atmosphere after an operational life of just 5 years. the major space going nations are working on sophisticated nearest radar systems to prevent satellite collisions gemini's aerospace center the d.l.r. is using a missile defense system from the german military in conjunction with the famous

found wolf shaft research group. radar facility outside bone in western germany is the only one in europe that can track and depict of jets in orbit up to 2 centimeters in diameter manuel met since his colleagues have been conducting precise measurements on space there break in order to prevent the need for a vase of action by active satellites. women and how if you have an object that you want especially interested in because it is threatening to combine it with your own satellites then you can use this system to remaster its orbit. and obtain more precise data as you can this physical presence that gives you a better risk assessment of whether a collision is actually imminent or whether such a collision can be ruled out again. there are several collision alerts every day is

a stiff maneuvers are only needed 2 or 3 times a year. but the scientists models project a collision in orbit triggered by space debris every 5 to 10 years just how crucial this surveillance is became clear in early september 29000 when a satellite in the space x. starling constellation was approaching a weather satellite belonging to the europeans base agency. e.s.a. tried and failed to persuade space x. to take evasive action but with no response from the american company the agency had to force its 400000000 euro weather satellite into a collision avoidance maneuver where the space x. was unwilling to take action or incapable due to a lack of control over the satellites remains unclear so longer value of the

systems work really well and have a very high level of reliability operating the satellite constellations there's no problem and if we get into an area right in the range of 10 to 20 percent that things start to get really critical then these constellations can become a problem within themselves and between each other and that can lead to a cascade of factor where more and more space debris is created. the got back radar facility near bowen is among the leading lights in space surveillance. that has a limited range of sight it has to be told approximately where an object is in the sky in order to conduct precise measurements. that is our facility is immense compared to the german experimental. space surveillance and tracking radar. a new election a key controled radar system that is observed the near zone of space within milliseconds they stone semiconductor technology the radar will be the 1st in

germany to track active satellites and space debris 247 also creating an orbit. that helps to prevent collisions. blount is in charge of gemini space situational awareness and which will work together with data collection he's seriously concerned about the satellite constellations currently being assembled. there could be the problem of the electric drive systems and the one website alerts do not allow hard delta vees or speed increases. their. plan is to deploy the fleets in an orbit of around 500 kilometers and then slowly push them to 1200 kilometers through the most contaminated belt and then bring them back down at the end of their lifetime. when. it's

a problem similar to sending a family of snails across a major road during rush hour. for reading. there's a major risk of collision not least because the electric propulsion systems do not give the satellites much scope for evasive action. mr all. the data from the t.v. system and from guests collated it germany space situational awareness center in the dutch border. the german armed forces and the german air a space center worked together at the nato communications and information agency unit. radar systems can only track the near earth zone and not geostationary orbit so the center also uses telescopes to surveil satellites that are high around and there are already concerns on the ground over the 1st satellites launched by space

x. is starlink constellation. from the launch of the past 60 standing satellites. is relatively high. and that can lead to interference to observations in near. normal doses the problem feared by astronomers growing population of tens of thousands with many satellites in the low and medium. will reflect on to. go under and in those areas of observation telescope coverage will be compromised. not surprisingly some of the traffic in the low earth orbit is from military sources the relatively close range of 502800 kilometers is a convenient one figure the ring meteorological and geological data and the spying

no where else in germany did the armed forces and the civilian german air a space center work so closely together could represented a region see the one where constellation with 6 satellites launched today all on one orbit. this is the starting constellation with 10 times the number of satellites spread across different orbital planes. and this constellation is likewise set to grow significantly in the future. 0 doggedly sure i'm sure any more if you were a large number of electrically powered satellites being introduced into court.
