10:05 am
nasa hope that its new rover will find that its old one has not. well this research station this mobile research station is really able to detect bio signatures so we could go one step further one step beyond that blast machines and say we will be able to detect lights this time and the crowd of everything that chokingly. goal so to say what you mentioned already to collect samples to put them down for a future mission and get them at the end of the decade and return to us that's unparalleled now this rover is in a crater were it's believed that a lake used to be so is there an assumption that there really was water where this rover has put down yes there's no doubt about that it's so obviously similar to the formations we have at the mouth of the degree of us and in the world here at the
10:06 am
mouth of the mississippi or at the cent famous river and so on that's quite obvious it's only a question where at the delta you have to look for and focus the location of the landing site we have already reconstructed this night he's very very good said the base of the sediments and what they have to most fine grained how disappointed she said if the sediments and they're probably pieced or 6 inches of very likely ok now at the end of this mission the we're supposed to see rocks coming back from mars to earth how tough is that going to be. well we have not said done so before and if history of spaceflight ends it's very him and therefore it's also it shouldn't european and nasa efforts so the european space agency will send its goal is sign to collect samples at 3 different sites then return it to
10:07 am
a base in from the base that will slide back into marshy orbits and from the martian orbit they will return to that sounds really complex well let's all hope that works out dr carter thank you very much for talking with us this morning that was early. from berlin's deal or institute a planetary research through now some of the stories making headlines around the world today doctors in myanmar say a protester who was shot in the head with a live bullet last week has died it's the 1st confirmed death of a demonstrator since mass rallies broke out in early february protesters are demanding the military restore the democratically elected government after a coup. the u.s. says it's ready for talks with iran on the 2050 nuclear deal but now the biden ministration has also moved to restore policies that were reversed under former president trump tehran repeated calls for president biden to lift all nuclear sanctions saying it would immediately reverse its retaliatory actions a new u.n.

10:09 am
another bar across town where he continued his rampage here and in a kiosk next door shooting another 6 people. within 12 minutes 9 people were left for dead 7 more were injured son seriously. the police were quickly able to identify the killer who lived in the area. a few hours later they searched his home and found he had shot his mother and himself. his motive for the attack hatred of foreigners. the 43 year old shooter had posted a manifesto and videos online full of conspiracy theories and racist rants. his victims all had a migrant background. in the wake of the attack there was an outpouring of solidarity across the country. and strong condemnation from the german government. yes this was racism is a poison hate is
10:10 am
a poison and this poison exists in our society and is responsible for far too many crimes we stand with all our strength and determination against all those who try to divide germany tough and schloss night. one year on from the attack the moon still run deep and for many questions remain over whether more could have been done to prevent the events of that terrible night. for more now i'm joined by ide on earth as she is a social democrat member of germany's parliament a buddhist talk and a former government commissioner for migration refugees and integration thanks for being with us this morning there are those in many had hoped that the hunted attack would mark a turning point in germany's approach the far right by islands was a turning point. no i fear was not a permanent turning point we will always feast right wing extremists we will always
10:11 am
have extremists in our country which should be a turning point is how we deal with this how a sergeant's deal with this and there are still so many questions even of a year later we still have all these questions that i don't have any answers you know like why wasn't police really able to be reached why couldn't there be help. why was a door locked still all these questions that really give the families so much. i don't really know how to say it it's so much grief you know it's really that situation ok with that investigation of course is continuing yesterday the head of the central council of jews in germany use of should stop he said that many of those affected by the shootings are still suffering the attacks consequences he also noted that that the perpetrator did not become
10:12 am
radicalized in a vacuum now that last point he made there suggests an enabling environment what do you see as the main problems facing germany today in its effort to address bottom of radicalization on the far right. well we have to say that this person was known as someone who was radical he had said this you know everybody heard this before he still had a gun for example he still could walk around and give his hate to others we i don't really know where he personally had is he from but we still know that his father is acting you know he's not murdering people but he's still talking in this way in the same place where all these people live and all the families live and you know we have a society that kind of i mean like also societies you have extremism of
10:13 am
course you have people who hate others the biggest question is what does the rest do against this and i must say i am a little bit. how can you say you know i was shocked when i heard our minister for interior fierce just a few weeks ago talking about extremism in germany and he mentioned islamists he mentioned clan clément criminality and he meant eric clamp criminality which is a case of course but he said no we're too right wing extremists and i think that this is a real problem that we don't address it directly you're for in 2 horses a horse of course how big of a threat is pirate extremism to germany itself in your opinion is democracy in this country under threat by the. well actually we saw it in the u.s.
10:14 am
and we see it also in germany it is a threat to every country but we have it here in a way that we really have to act against it and i think it's so important that people who have a migrant background i mean we call my own still people of certain force generation and if we do this we have to do something also that they don't lose confidence in the authorities and the government and the parliaments so this means yes we have to deal with it yes there is a threat of right wing extremism in this country we saw these people in front of the parliament i mean for in front of the bonus taco already and we know exactly that there are not really accepting people like me and all the millions of others who have parents who came from turkey or other countries as germans they just don't
10:15 am
accept us and we have to show we need the rest you know like everyone who really defense democracy belong together and we stand together and i think we do it but it's not sufficient we also need answers of course to questions like in this case. thank you very much for talking with us that was either member of the blue star or germany's s.p.d. party thank you. so you news now up next to get a documentary asking whether one day will discover another planet like earth thanks for watching. young german and jewish yes i'm jewish so was. does that mean in daily life and at school 11 teenagers 11 stories how. i'm jewish and so. german and jewish
