ration telescope coverage will be compromised telescope or 2 or 3 of. the 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 gemini did the armed forces and the civilian german heiress they sent to work so closely together could have visited the region say the one went constellation with 6 satellites launched today all on one orbit. this is the stunning constellation with 10 times the number of satellites spread across different over top planes of this constellation is likewise set to grow significantly in the future. they are totally sure i'm sure any more if you were told of a large number of electrically powered satellites being introduced into critical

orbit hearts will definitely post questions. in the final phase of the satellites deployment this will also present a bigger challenges for global surveillance systems than is the case with the current population and all that. so we have to prepare accordingly and continue to expand our capabilities of a cloud white house for. the importance of protecting critical infrastructure such as weather g.p.s. and observation satellites was highlighted in march 29th teen the indian military shut down one of the country's weather satellites in order to demonstrate its strategic space capabilities the satellite broke up into 6 and a half 1000 pieces of debris which then spread around the globe to speed of 35000 kilometers per hour.

the interesting thing u.s. area is not so much the massive debora that stay on the rich. you know all bad news the parts moved by kinetic energy. of course there's a threat to all of us. since you can. china has also demonstrated its ability to destroy a critical infrastructure in low earth orbit. don't tun in south korea is just a 2 hour car drive from the border to north korea everyone here is aware of the threat from the north's missile system and it's here that one web is working with intelli and south korean specialists in maritime satellite communications intel and is making the satellite antennae for the ground stations and use the terminals that can pick up and relay the signals from the satellite constellation at any point on a us. or. the koreans were chosen

due to their experience in maritime communications where the transmitter and receiver of signals of both moving the idea is to adapt that technology for internet access in self driving cars permanent connectivity will become increasingly important. steve charland kevin other visionary minds behind in telling an american cio is still challenging but we have all the solution now so it is a fix so far i think the best soul is moving so that means i'm can or should and also maintain track to sarah. and we are developing using now but leave your base or visually. is movie for them is all we have to. go by ship or by satellite so that means for either also the accuracy so

even though the worst cases we have to bury. accurate tracker video and you can maintain the connection so that could be our challenger for your future so we'll try to overhaul. rotating parabolic antennae are at the cutting edge of current technology but a few years from now there might well be a new antennae available based on semiconductor technology this is a company with a couple of. years of your future intel but this one is normally carry body is right or we can put here where there is a some electronic circuit inside electronic circuit to reel. itself so it's kind of on the mechanical. motion and very accurate and also very small. whether by sea land

o. and the idea is to ensure easy connectivity for people using all means of transportation in addition to those who were stationary. this facility near seoul tests radio communications with objects in the. a group of engineers headed by physicists now feigns spent several months focusing on one specific task proving beyond doubt that an internet connection can be established on 90 days in a row via satellite constellation that test results would determine whether one website writes to transmit at the frequency spectrum approved by the international telecommunications union would be confirmed it's a milestone the team eventually reached in 2019 satellites were launched in february of this year and i want to show the proof of concept that it works so we

want to be able to send signals up to the satellite but down again and prove that we can send traffic very high speed. and therefore realize some of these services you know high speed broadband services that we want to offer the world so this is a perfect testing ground we've got the regulatory clearance here to do transmissions and receptions. could a system initially comprising just 6 satellites in orbit streamed internet video content from germany now bain's and his team were also eager to see how the experiment pans out. what we'll be doing is where we're going to visit the earth rise up and getting content from there over to our modems on to the terminals themselves up to the satellites but down again and then all the acknowledgments coming back across the internet so we can keep on streaming just here we just got 3 more minutes and then the satellites will be coming out over its

satellite flies it takes about 3 minutes i'm in the next. 1010 seconds. very. way we are now live streaming video from this at the you have to. travel. their work briefly in the quality of the signal wasn't good enough so it lost lost connection but. we try and we're still in testing we're testing the circuit optimizing the system to get better and better performance better looking suit you know improve quality of video on the satellite ok well thanks everybody for joe thank. you that providing sufficient bandwidth for streaming videos in full h.d.

will require the launch and deployment of far more satellites and more ground stations. over in the united states one webb has a 2nd ground station not far from washington d.c. . the constellation satellites can be controlled from here and from headquarters in london. daria careen is responsible for coordinating the constellations flight maneuvers she and colleague ny ritchie control individual satellites. here the 2 experts are conducting extensive tests connected to automatic control routines. it's a system that i want to trust but at the same time as

a human i want to make sure i'm checking all of all of my checks and balances making sure that everything is ok with the tally before we brissie to the next step because again this is a simulation we have to take our time and we have to be as humanly perfect as possible how many controllers will be required to pilot a mega constellation of several 100 satellites this is well artificial intelligence will come in to assist the human operators i believe we're going to be having one controller for about 20. 30 so it's maybe even more we're trying to automate our system so that one person can handle as many satellites that is needed within our crews because i mean like you said for not going to have a one to one ratio and we need to learn to automate our system so that when we see issues on board if our problems can't do it manually then automatically our system should be able to handle it it's kind of a walk before you run type of i guess philosophy so instead of having so many satellites up at 1st we deployed you know 6 and then we could spend

a significant amount of time kind of getting to know like a new friend basically just deciding you know this satellite is capable of this and it's not capable of this and ball i kind of adapt to the constellation as it grows to because of our ability to understand the vehicles for months we've you know since launch for about 6 months now and we have gotten a good idea of the types of tools that will need in order to use you know sustain a mega consolation and in addition to the technical challenges there are also no end of regulation to reopen stickles to overcome it's all right. kelly into a team of trying to convince more than 200 different countries and territories to grant one web commission to provide services. every person in the world wants access to information and entertainment and they may define that differently and

their country may be concerned about what access they have but even a country like north korea wants their people to have access to certain kinds of information right and so every country in the world wants their people connected they may want to control the way they're connected they may have concerns about data protection or security but they want their people connected and so even north korea even cuba. even india china russia they're all interested in conic to vittie connectivity is the key to the future. internet access in north korea china and russia is regulated differently than in germany what surprised the company was how more democratic nations also tend to demand an emergency off switch before giving approval to into 2 differently than in germany what surprised the company was how more democratic nations also tend to demand an emergency off switch before giving approval to internet access via satellite constellation you know what even the

united states ask for an os which. every country wants a little control over the traffic in its country and one of the things they say basically is if you cause interference usually you'll need to be turned off and you say of course the ideas i'm never going to cause interference when going back to the coordination with the other satellite systems i don't want to have to turn off so i'm going to make darn sure that i'm not interfering into anything. one web and its rival google space x. a commonly neck and neck in this new space race with amazon lagging some distance behind with the high speed internet from low earth orbit will actually be commercially available by the end of 2021 is still hard to say. south korea has the fastest mobile internet on the planet and practically everyone here has high speed connectivity via to rest real all mobile networks.

and it's here that now things in his colleagues are working towards a future where every person on earth could have fast internet via satellite provided that governments allow it. he has always been his thing nico rosberg is a formula one world champion. but in

a good germany finish superstar is entering a new range as an eco investor can't keep driving the future of the melody with his green tech past a bomb. threat. 30 minutes on deductions. what keeps us in shape what makes us tick and how the mistake on. my name is dr carlson because i talked to many comics let's. watch them at work. and then discuss what you can do to improve your head. stay tuned and let's all try to stay neutral. in 60. w. . but

you do need to keep up with a lot of the people vote for over a mention on the force and flew all the closeness the minute it's in the lives of others the bottom of the valley is at the last dragon was what has caused the heart . to go green on. it became evident that the. this is to double use the live of from donald trump votes to early in the u.s. presidential election i voted for a guy named truck because. that was the last days of the campaign said to be

dominated by america's was recorded 19 crisis where you see how trying to unravel joe biden are confronting the issues coming up. children in mali head back to school after months of covert induced closures at the demick is still threatening to cost millions of children in the region a chance at an education plus the mother of all german darby's in the bundesliga a small but passionate socially distanced crowd to watch on as dortmund did battle with local arch rivals shelter in the roller derby. and will sika welcome to the program it still 9 days to go to election day in the united states but tens of millions of americans have already cast their ballots including president of the trump himself the surge in early voting in the u.s.

is becoming fueled by concerns about the coronavirus and the president's handling of the pandemic. us president donald trump returned to his adopted home state of florida to cast his ballot and doubts about the security of mail in noting if your vote much worse if you're there when you send in a ballot i could tell you that everything was perfect very strict right by the rules when you sent. and you well it could never be like that you could never be secure like that i did a fantastic job but we had great people and. i voted for a guy named truck because. thank you very much i think that. trying to spent much of the campaign sowing seeds of uncertainty claiming voter fraud might rob him of victory early voting in the united states is shattering records more than 53000000 people have already cast their ballots ahead of the november 30th election many

woke up early in the president's former home state of new york to make sure their choice is counted. but i would still have been here earlier but this is one of the most important part. of my life. many many people. refer to my you know where. to put the nature of my vote without it there's so many concerns about whether you know if you submit absentee ballots that you need counted in the mail record turnout is also the result of code that 1000 concerns cases and hospitalizations are on the rise 85000 new cases reported saturday. they campaign trail to the white house brought democratic challenger joe biden to his former home state of pennsylvania where he accused trump of mishandling the pandemic. where 10

days last. may come down to pennsylvania. and i believe in you i believe in my state the choice is never made clear the stakes are never been higher experts are certain lose nearly another 200000 lives nationwide in the next several months all because. this president cares more about the stock market in india as you know is biden is leading in nationwide polls and in most battleground states but president trump is determined to hold as many rallies as he can to pull off another surprise presidential win could you believe it 10. years. chileans are going to the polls on sunday for a referendum on their dictatorship era constitution to choose whether to keep it or to scrap it the vote follows a year of social unrest in chile with anti-government protesters demanding changes to inequalities in the country the referendum comes as the south american nation

reports more than half a 1000000 corona virus cases since the beginning of the outbreak in march. now for more data will be used 100 maris joins us from the chilean capital santiago you what's at stake in this referendum. tomorrow shiller will define whether or not they want to have a new constitution and also they will choose for which mechanism they want this new constitution to be drafted more than 15000000 people are called to vote tomorrow after a year off massive brought those that have been held in the same place they are equally square has been the main hot spot off the process today is it was very calm during the day and now as they've been conned we have seen some people protesting against the police some people throwing rocks against the police on the police how

many there are some moving around to prevent any clash in this day just a few hours before the referendum take place here in. you know if you referendum has been one of the key demands from the protesters why are they so opposed to the current 1. 1 of the main i critics that people do i guess this constitution is the legit timoci off the aryan of the constitution it was written during the day take the shape of the pinger shed more than 30 years ago it was written for people who was not truth shows by the people. and event in a time where there were not free press in the international observers so it's a legacy of the date or shape and there are many things many public policies that cannot be taken that they cannot take place because of this constitution so the

main the social changes that need chile are in a way blocked because of this constitution. now if chileans vote in favor of the new constitution on sunday are we likely to see an end to the anger. they. doesn't look alike i mean there are many problems like ground problems in chile there are beyond this constitution i mean sheila needs a really important public policies to change the house system. many other things education for old people and these things cannot be changed just because of a boat is a fair step but it will change the framework of the state but the heart of the problems are public policies for that we need also their will our politicians and as i tell you right now we will listen already the clashes people throwing rocks against the police and we fold already

a little bit the pepper gas that maybe the police are start moving around they got their vote tomorrow is very important but they want change the main problems of the country know from one day to another thank you when you're hungry merest in santiago. now to some other stories making news around the world scuffles have broken out between protesters and police outside the residence of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu officials said several people were arrested the demonstrators were demanding that netanyahu resign over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and criminal indictments against him for corruption. the u.s. senate is beginning the final debate to confirm judge a macone baratz to the u.s. supreme court only days out from the presidential election republicans have the majority in the senate's all but guaranteeing kone barrett's confirmation which would give the supreme court a conservative lean for many years to come. france has recalled its ambassador to

ankara after turkish president russia tired edwin said the french president needed mental help over his attitude towards muslims a comments came in response to emanuel earlier pledge to fight what he calls islamist separatism following a terrorist attack last week. to mali now where millions of children are heading back to school after missing up to 4 months of classes but even ask rules begin to reopen across the region many of them lack the resources to mitigate the risk of covert 19 and many fear the pandemic may cost countless children the chance of an education. a little hand disinfectant and then lessons begin at this elementary school in mali social distancing is important but with so many students it's impossible after months without lessons the children are excited to finally be dark

in school. i mean if i really miss school and i've forgotten quite a bit. hard you know remains crucial but the chrono virus has left the children of the so how region far behind not all of them were able to learn during the months of school closures and not all have returned to school they started helping the parents actually so they know what he goes more difficult for the parents to put on him. or specially girls who are living in this same giudice to work as a host to leave to make matters worse of their ongoing conflicts in the country armed groups often attacked civilians displacing many families they then have to find shelter in camps or makeshift living quarters like here in molly's capital bomb a ko. thing we fled here to avoid being killed. now or can't go to school and. i see i am 1st we have to focus on surviving.

and did a good education for a better future for many children here it's just a challenge to be able to go to school that all. sports now and in one of the most anticipated bundestag games of the season dalton looks horns with shell in the road dobby on saturday night dortmund are flying high near the top of the league while the visitors had just one point from their 1st 4 games going into what germans call the mother base. the pun demick meant signal a do not park was unusually under capacity but darby tension was still clearly in the air for the few diehards lucky enough to get tickets the gap in quality between the 2 rivals has rarely been so stark but sheltered held out until the 55th minute when manuel a country put dortmund ahead after a slick corner kick routine the defender showing a striker's instinct to poems. after that there was no holding back the blackened.

hollins delightful drink 6 minutes later. was another corner led to dortmund 78 minutes header. from their social support at the end as they kept pace with champions byron. doesn't have his troubles to seek with his team still without a league win this season. just weird now where people are converting old costs and into trucks and tractors for traveling around the countryside these vehicles are done for their style or speed but that's the point they're relatively cheap to run and even teenage just can get behind the wheel because they don't have much horsepower in this report on the trend of new life into old cars. they look like cars with plenty of course power but that's deceptive and even if

they're the main attraction in this show none of these trucks goes faster than 30 in fact made clear by the large red triangle this is the latest trend for young people living in the country like these kids in the city of kabul because at the age of 15 they can legally drive one of these so-called e.p.a.'s with a moped driver's license or you know boy i live in the countryside so i can use it to drive to school and i like getting together with other people it's fun. also behold those of us who have an e.p. is are all the same age we have a group on snap chat we write to each other a lot and we can see where everyone is. there are scented trees car stereos and all the trimmings you could want for a car these vehicles are officially called tractors the swedes came up with the idea of converting old cars into trucks to go out into the field and which only have room for 2 people. did. they move this

part here so that you have storage space that's large enough to transport things. in the past they used to drive them into the fields farmers could load things in here those. poor that are not on the. today it's called a utility tractor or an e.p.a. for short for many young people living in the countryside it's a great hobby and it gives them a sense of freedom says 15 year old john who owns 3 of these unusual cars this one is not allowed to because a control box cable could be manipulated. younger so that i would it to if you drive faster than 30 the engine switches off at the official inspection they said this cable was faulty it needs to be installed more safely than most to be just seen it can cost up to $10000.00 euros for 15 year olds to convert an old swedish car into a fast pickup truck but driving them is much better than waiting for the bus or

riding a moped in the cold of winter and the big selling point is that e.p.a. meetings are also the best parties you can find in the swedish provinces. you're watching d.w. news from berlin up next on reporter we look at the life of a broadway star when theaters are closed i'll be back with headlines in 45 minutes until then you get all the latest news and information around the clock on our website. dot com would also like our exposure. in the art of climate change. africa to. what's in store.
