good drinking for sure. but you're gonna drink black coal. oil. starts december 4th. this is the dove good news coming up today. liftoff to the moon. china launches a mission to the moon. that could make it only the 3rd country to bring back rock samples from its surface. we asked why the mission is important, and what's driving and vicious plans for space. religion proves a stumbling block for many marriages in india, we speak to an interfaith couple all opposition to be with each other and to rest more

morticians. welcome to do that. you could join us. china launched a rocket today to the moon seeking to bring samples of luna rocks and dust back to the john 5 name for the ancient chinese moon goddess. took off successfully from china. it's the 1st mission in 4 decades. and if successful, it would make china only the 3rd country to bring back samples from the moon after the u.s. and the former soviet union. and for more on this launch, i'm joined by mark mccall cohen, senior advisor for science,

an exploration of the european space agency. marc welcome and rocks have been brought back from the moon before. what is the scientific importance of this mission? well, as you know, the apollo missions and also soviet unmanned missions brought back rocks in the sixty's and seventy's. but where the chinese mission is going is actually interesting. it's a much younger region of the moon than the previous missions have been to the top of a volcano, a very smooth, flat volcano, not a spike, but it's much younger than those other regions. and so that will actually tell us something more about the more recent geological changes on the moon, and that will then be able to allow us to connect into what we have done with rocks from other places. so i think it's fascinating that china has chosen to go to a new place wait with new science to do right from the outset, rather than perhaps going some way easier whether people have been before and time is of course not the only nation sending missions to the moon that up plans being

made in the united states as well. why is that so much interest in the morn? well, i think that's a good question and a lot of people see it as sort of going back to something we did 50 years ago. but we at the european space agency with nasa, with roles, cosmos, the russian space agency, and in the wider sense we, china, and other international partners. we see this is a stepping stone partly to learning how to survive in space away from the earth. we've been at the space station now for 20 years, but we're protected there by the magnetic field of the earth. going to the moon and learning how to operate in what we call the gateway a new small version of the space station where astronauts from the international community will travel, including european astronauts. then perhaps going back down to the surface, putting humans there. and maybe the middle of this decade, he's a stepping stones to something we want to do for a long time,

which is actually go to mobs. and we need to learn from operating at the moon, sort of part of the distance away from the earth a little bit more like a campsite, rather than in just in the back garden. it somewhere out in the wilderness before you set out on the big journey across an ocean and go somewhere completely novel. so it's also that there are lots of private companies now involved in space flight in low earth orbit. and it seems right that the debate agencies, the big civilian agency, set their sights further afield. right. believe ever the timing with thanks so much for joining us, mark mclachlan. my pleasure. now for china, this launch is the latest step in an ever expanding an ambitious space program that began in the sixty's. but it's in the past 20 years that it's seen a real acceleration. china's space ambitions have been growing for years.

in 2003, china secured a major breakthrough when it became the 3rd country in the world to send a man into space. 10 years later, china hit another milestone successfully landing an unpiloted spacecraft on the moon. it was the 1st soft landing since the soviet union's success in 1976. more chinese cheers in january 29th teen in a global 1st, a lunar probe, touching down on the far side of the moon, boosting china's space ambitions. mars is also in china's sights. this year, beijing launched an unmanned probe to the planet. in july, it put the final satellite into orbit for its chinese navigation system. the country's rival to us owns g.p.s. . but this lunar mission to bring back material from the moon is one of china's

most ambitious to date and one which beijing is determined will be another success . but what is the driving force behind china's plans in space? and is it purely scientific? we put that question to blend in bowen, an expert for space warfare and space policy at the university of so when we talk about china's space program, it's important to think of it exploration, whether robotic or crude is made when program a many, many space programs in china, so i would separate scientific and civil exploration space program from the economic, commercial military and intelligence space programs as well. so are the moments now china has launched or has registered with and it states around $350.00 plus satellites and they provide all sorts of essential services down on it for military

and economic and infrastructural purposes. the space science and exploration, that's very much about stimulating high tech industry. also as, as packing for techno nationalist that's as well which is not unique to china. and sort of the propaganda and prestige russian arms behind it as well, of demonstrating china's high tech space capability. so any last space program has a lot of motivations behind it, but it is important i think, to separate the space station which is fairly benign compared to the more military elements of china's other parts of its space program. so i know india getting matter to who you want isn't always straightforward amongst the many factors that determine a future union is religion. i've seen this myself, but marriage between a bride and groom of different religions is still front upon in many parts of india . is specially so when it comes to marriage between a hindu and

a muslim. the aversion is rooted instead of typical ideas and historic distrust between the communities. but more recently, bias has been fanned by divisive national politics. they need to some a is an economics professor. she comes from an educated middle class family. nevertheless, her parents were horrified 17 years ago when she announced she wanted to marry her husband tunde via benito's hindu temple is muslim. the struggle was in kind when seeing them about who he was and in trying to raise the idea of a stereotypical muslim because our family and that includes me as well. we did not have many muslim friends, and we did not know many muslim people on social media couples like tanveer and they need to encounter hatred. muslim men who marry hindu women are accused of waging a love jihad, a holy war of love. insinuating the wedding as part of

a strategy to islam is hindu women. the accusation is widespread. the family actually produced, you know, if this was a reproduction of the same family. so that's what people want. so in india, of course, there is a problem and see an indian jewelry company experience this just recently in a commercial that showed a hindu pride being welcomed into her new family by him. islam mother and all just to after the clip was radical hindus shabbat the company with insults and called for a boycott. the jeweler withdrew the commercial to counter the problem. 5. indian journalists have now launched an initiative called the love project on instagram, where happy into religious couples, tell their stories. some of the order couples who are mentioned on our project best stories is given by the children by their grandchildren are sometimes

soft that it makes you realize that that point of it wasn't acceptable at all. but there wasn't this kind of organized government opposition to it tempi and they need to have also published their story on the love project. their families have long since my piece with their marriage. now they also want to help other couples. their reach is a little less, i'm not sure whether they will be able to impact a lot of people. what would step in that? i bet it would be and they need to not getting better a religious education. they've decided that children should make up their own minds about what to believe in south korea, most rural doctors are men, but increasingly more women are taking up the role. and in doing so, they are not only breaking taboos, but also responding to a need from the market. park by ram is

a rarity in south korea. she works is a mortician, an industry traditionally reserved for the country's men. but those traditions are gradually shifting. park has come to learn the families of many young female victims prefer that she prepares their bodies which is the biggest cause of death among young people in suicide. many of them are women and the bereaved families, especially when the death was due to suicide and the deceased is a woman, feel more comfortable if a female head of the body south korea has the world's highest suicide rates among developed countries. the tragic statistic has been brought into sharp focus after the recent deaths of prominent k. pop artists such as sunni from go band f.x. . that's helped break to boost with more women training to be morticians, determined to counter historic gender stereotypes. i have heard some shocking

things from former students. one of them told me her mother in law said, how do you think of cooking my meals with the hands that have touched a dead body that was so shocking for these students majoring in funeral direction. it's about learning to show dignity and respect for the deceased . so while it's the law of the call, i sure wouldn't want a man to touch washed and dressed my naked body. even when i'm dead. i'm determined i should be the one beating these women a proper farewell, as was the kind of farewell preferred by many families in today's south korea. and that's a for today. there's more in our website did upload, dot com for was flash, is show live in now with pictures of today's movie launch from china. and the

reactions, if falls, we're back tomorrow at the same time, about happiness issues for everyone. schuman penises are very different from primates. you know, we have a totally ridiculous romanticized view of nature and their favorite and this is climate change. crisis sex. how cute. as in 3 books, you get smarter for free. did always books are neutral. what is the secret behind this classic? is it the sound?

or the story behind the music was his recording angel greatest ouy. beethoven's 9th symphony for the world starts to simmer down on t.w. . and the strange and the indian netflix series delhi crime wins the international emmy for best drama. the show based on a shocking, true crime story was one of the night's big winners. more about that, coming up on arts culture and nigerian artistes autobahn is a rising star in the art world. so why is she still looking at the ground?

will also visit a house in harmony with the elements and amsterdam home, designed by architect giacomo garcia. welcome to arts and culture. we'll start with the international emmy awards honoring the best in global t.v. and full on pandemic style. the 44 nominees from 20 countries joined the new york award ceremony via video. so let's get straight to the winners. and some of those shows we should be watching my colleague, adrian kennedy, is here for more. adrian best drama went to delhi crime. is this a well deserved choice? in your opinion? yes, this is a very important 7 part series. from netflix, india, it was directed by the nets and it tells the story of the police investigation following the delhi gang rape of december 2012, which caused

a storm of outrage across india and led to changes in the law. as the chief investigates, it was originally conceived as a movie that talks about 6 years for such a story before shooting over 62 days. the series ends wrapping up that particular case, but there will be a 2nd series with the same cast of characters investigating a new crime. and who could forget that horrible event. now let's talk about the best documentary. i mean that went through a syrian film that's also been generating a lot of attention. tell us more about yes, the documentary film for some was previously nominated for an oscar. this shows the life of the key in aleppo, touring the civil war in syria. film is a message to have some explaining why the family stay on despite the difficulties. a husband is a top, so one of the few remaining hospitals in the city. so it's

a tough decision. should they flee, or should they stay behind and help pounce like a very powerful movie from we've actually got a clip i believe, of director was accepting the award from the u. k. i think it was friday night, but i fear that it was and everyone who worked on the phone this hour or theory out of the country that i wish its name would be one day. i mean the winning friends and what it's like when filmmakers are not be tired of only once, and only elected government will be proud of its own, how do they stand its own people? and we can celebrate this great 20 at home in our country with our own people are

very powerful moment there. adrian. what else stood out to you at this year's international? i mean awards? well, i was absolutely delighted that glenda jackson got the best actress award at the age of 84 for her role as more in this, but is missing for just it's a detective story, amateur detective story that also deals with the devastation of dementia. despite all the more incredible, as jackson took 23 years off from acting to serve as a member of parliament and won the 1st of her 2 oscars white back in 1970. now speaking of the 1970, is it her dream? and we're going to shift gears a little bit because i think that your, you brought us another piece of news that has to do with another 970 s. icon. that's fine just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. that's a question of now because the only surviving shark model costs for the 975 oscar winning film jaws has been hoisted into its new drawing dog home. at the

academy museum in los angeles, the 7.63 to shark with 116 teeth, was rescued from a junkyard and has been do not only lovingly restored to its former glory years as calorically, terrifying, but is a lot of things found in a junkyard. that's one employee of a drink out of it. thanks so much. thank you. speaking of glory, buckingham palace in london. it is undergoing major renovations, and paintings are coming off the walls. the palace picture gallery is getting a new glass roof after 200 years and highlights from the queen's collection are set to go on display to the public, including works by kind of vermeer and rembrandt. from old masters to newcomer of the year artist autobahn, congo was named the number one star of tomorrow by germany's const international

art ranking and congo lives in belgium. but her art is still grounded and her native nigeria on the ground what it gives us, what we take from it is a central focus of congress. art. she works with minerals like those mined in her home country of nigeria, in that entire landscapes are stripped and hollowed out. like in this sculpture. it was that way in the colonial era, and the exploitation continues today. the world is only there to be built to be able to take out and use so it's a combination of that with the constant idea that it has to grow. it has to be said, and that is greed. the result is ruined landscapes, but also ruined human psyche bought up on the congo believes are exploited of

relationship with the ground, with nature makes us sick as well. she questions, our unbridled economic activity and boundless consumption and little things that you're doing like oh my god, up plastic bottle, i'm drinking water and that when i look at my house, it's filled with all kinds of things that i'm looking at. and i'm wondering how did i get there? and then i wonder in how do i get rid of it and then getting rid of it means getting it out of my sight. but where does it go? and to whose backyard is it entry? and i understand that as an addiction, as an addiction to something that you cannot get rid of, many of the effects of our way of life remain invisible to us. like this drop of liquid that simply evaporates. yet it still exists and we inhale it along with the

air we breathe. just as we do all the toxic materials we release into the world, environmental destruction and over exploitation force increasing numbers of people to flee regions that have become uninhabitable. millions who were once deeply rooted to their homelands. to conquer, believes that just like trees, humans have their ancestral places to. this performance piece is meant to show that when we're on foreign terrain, we're like uprooted plants. the artist says that's what migrants experience too. but never in human history have immigrants felt the need to adapt completely to their new home. to assimilate. perfect, you don't want to connect top place of the people, but you want to connect to the lot. you don't want to connect. so the culture sort of food, but you want to grab land to make your own food. so there's a difference of thinking that one hospital integrates within the spaces that they

evolve. or one comes into a place to restructure that place and recalibrate that place. so they're all like so still different boat up on the canvas work stretches from the past into the future, demonstrating the complex relationships between humans and land or a way to start submission. the one we just saw there is currently closed due to the pandemic. there's no such thing as solid ground. how to incorporate more nature into architecture. that's the goal of architect giacomo gars. yana has been working on this design for a sustainable new living quarter in the netherlands. calls his work bio phillips, meaning having a lot of life projects still in the works, but we did check out another building. he finished this year

instead of concrete curves rather than hard edges. a style of architecture that loves life the result of building according to the principles of biofilm like architecture. jackie o. is the architect of the freebooter in the dutch city of amsterdam. one of the key elements of the way you feel if your approach is to create direct connection with nature. and we created that by using, you know, natural materials that, that simulates or are connected with what is really an experience in the 2 to nature. martin slats are placed around the entire building, ensuring optimum lighting conditions and privacy to sun's movement was observed over an entire year. so the slats could be aligned perfectly. and

another fundamental concept of bio filter architecture is that interior and exterior spains should merge into one. as soon as we, you know, we wake up in this, in this room, we can already open up and have a direct connection to the terrace and through the natural of the water. the freebooters special construction method only cost about 10 percent more than a conventional $12.00. families live here each with $120.00 square metres of living space. they enjoy special indoor climate and a house with close to 0 energy consumption. thanks to state of the art technology especially like this room because i have 3 a day and at the end of the day it ends here and the light is very beautiful in

this room. it's not just the light that special. the house appeals to all the senses. when people come to visit, almost everybody wants to touch this part. it's girl, it's moot people love it. the freebooter residents have no doubt that their quality of life has improved since moving into british musician paul barton also loves nature, has been playing for blind and injured elephants at any animal sanctuaries in thailand for a decade. now he's moved on to a real challenge though, playing beethoven for hungry monkeys. his concert at the famous monkey temple of lopburi was meant to raise awareness for the animals who normally depend on tourists to feed them. let's take a quick look at season cook
