as fits all solution as countries wait for vaccinations to help avoid the same hard choices next school year. the use foreign ministers' meeting later today to discuss new sanctions against russia crackdown on opposition leader alexander valley he was hundreds to call from defeats over the weekend and now looks at it for several years in jail the use of push to punish the kremlin follows what some colder disastrous trip to moscow by the block's foreign policy chief earlier this month. he used top diplomat insisted he had to find out face to face the kremlin's views on relations with the bloc zs european union at this stage is an unreliable part but you know to russia expelled 3 e.u. diplomats while burrell was there which he admits he only learned from social media after heavy criticism for his passive performance next to lever off laceration of

the e.u. burrell says he's now convinced russian authorities are not interested in rob small dansa as in korea. no they are not that led burrell to promise concrete proposals on tougher measures it will be for the member states to decide the next step but yes this could include sanctions the e.u. already has a wide range of sanctions on russian individuals and entities related for example to moscow's illegal 2014 an accession of crimea for supporting separatist activities in eastern ukraine and a for involvement in the august poisoning of alexina vani but the subsequent jailing of nirvana after his return to russia as well as police brutality against person of army protesters has a new government's pressing for harsher measures now have a way nia has led that call should be a personal sanctions or should be sanctions that this be to do the for the

preference against the opposition a letter signed by almost 170 politicians academics and activists this week urges e.u. leaders to use the new human rights sanctions mechanism known as the european magnitsky act to target the north stream to pipeline project and to include the russian president's wealthy inner circle that last option says former e.u. diplomat david still it would be a game changer that russia might then realize that the you also have these red lines and cannot be pushed beyond them and that will be a kind of a surprise for russians because finally they would see that their bluff policy doesn't work anymore it's unclear how close to the kremlin penalties will come this time around officials say it's hard to prove all a dark suppressant only finance human rights abuses russia is threatening to cut ties with the e.u.

is any sanctions go forward with leverage off warning russia wants peace but is prepared for war. well for more of this i'm not joined by the double used. for example of phenomena is under sanctions from the russian lead to serve a diplomatic ties of war situation sounds very serious doesn't it yes indeed it does sound serious but of course it is also important for the european foreign ministers now to act and there is apparently a broader understanding that sanctions new sanctions are the right path forward that there are necessary and of course it's not surprising when we take into consideration that all use all calls by the european union and its member states all on the kremlin to release now vali has not brought anything so what kind of sanctions we're talking about and against. well 1st of all we're talking

about a political agreement today that is expected that as i said sanctions are the right path forward then you agency will start working on a list of people who are believed to be directly involved in. his incarceration then this list has to be approved and then published and then only than sanctions can be implemented but according to you officials we are probably talking about sanctions against 6 individuals and they can expect their assets in the european union to be frozen of course there will be also facing travel bans on well you sanctions require unanimity all member states on the same page. yeah i would say so it appears this way at least of course we have member states who are more critical of russia than the baltic states for example who have been

warning for russia's increasingly aggressive behavior in the neighborhood there are more russia friendly states like for example greece on top and or hungry and there is of course germany who is always trying to to find a way for a dialogue saying that because russia is in our neighborhood to we have to find a way to work together but at the moment it seems that all member states are on board well russia says it could break off diplomatic ties with the e.u. what will that involve and how would the e.u. reacts well we have to see honestly if there were will be anything severe lover of the russian foreign minister has threatened that russia is ready to break diplomatic ties with the european union so presumably we are talking here about institutions on this at the same time experts say it was you know old nance to impress the domestic audience so we'll really have to see whether russia is going

to push had any actions against the. one of the nominees thank you or something. going on a virtue of boeing is calling for the grounding of more than 100 of its triple 7 jets worldwide following an engine failure of the united airlines plane on saturday shortly after takeoff in the u.s. state of colorado the plane's right engine blew apart raining debris on homes near denver airport the plane landed safely and there were no reports of injuries or boeing said should suspend using triple sevens with the same type of engine as the one involved in the emergency landing. well as robots from all businesses rob after this whole 757 drama that's been unfolding over the last couple of years or actually what's this latest emotions you

know what effect will it have on the company well there are a few sectors where people are more concerned about safety than the aviation sector than flying through the air at enormous speeds and boeing is just coming off the back of as you mentioned a safety scandal we know with the 737 max so it's been very keen to be seen to be acting quickly on this particular issue and it has already called on the grounding of these triple sevens with this specific craft and whitney engine but this is very different to the 737 max situation mainly because boeing doesn't make the engines on these planes and is the engines that have been fighting they are made by this company pratt and whitney which is one of the 3 big makers of civil aviation engines and it's that they'll be asking the big questions because these engines are clearly failing ahead of time there have been 3 incidents involving the engines on triple 7 in just a few years so it's is with fred and whitney where really the questions will be being asked so. how big is the problem is this going to be for allan's who run

these models well i don't wish to use words thankfully but because of the corona virus pandemic there are much fear of these in the air than you might even might expect as a global fleet of about a 130 planes and 69 of them are currently in the air the rest of them are out of view so that's one reason why it will have a small impact there are only 6 airlines that are using this plane with this specific engine as well just that united airlines in the united states and then there's 2 airlines in japan and 3 in south korea so that shows you again that it's not a particularly widely used craft and also these are old planes i mean the plane those involved in the incident over the weekend was 26 years old these are not very efficient planes and actually airlines were already starting to phase them out japan airlines was planning to get rid of its triple sevens with this problem whitney engine in a year's time anyway so hopefully the disruption will not be enormous united says the day spec's a very few passengers to be inconvenienced by. robots from our business department

thank you rob thank you. in the bonus league rb leipzig have closed the gap on leaders by munich to just 2 points to secure a comfortable 3 nil victory against the bill in in a match that included another contender for goal of the season. weekend had already started well for you know goldman is like sick before they'd even kicked a ball by ends defeating frankfurter welcome boost for this bunch and they made sure to capitalize in berlin. by myself robert said scoring a goal you could fall in love with. it was the sweetest of strikes from the light sea captain this goal was all that separates he decides going into half time.

i. would like to see queer determines a pile on the heartbreak in the 2nd half the maccie i lay made it to me along 70 minutes passes me teo can do z. punished for getting too cozy with the ball inside his own area. the lights the glove story was completed 6 minutes some time in the oban with the head office 3 male white significant 2 points of leaders by and the title race is hotting up. and in sunday's late game and battle. to live truck the visitors in the table as. the picture of the goals is clear time and shot made it 3 nil just after half time. moved to eleventh's in the table while finds themselves on comfortably close to the relegation zone.

site in such language just that's on d w dot com and to follow us on social media outlets ask news on twitter and on it's from m god well 1st let's watch.

is there life on mars. the american space probe rover has set out to answer this question. just landed on the red planet but it's not only on earth he's competing with 2 other missions. everything you need to know i thought the spectacular race between explorers on mars to morrow to. next on t.w. .

they were forced into a nameless mass. their bodies and their tools. the history of the slave trade is africa's history. it just drives home the greed for power and profit plummeted and entire continent into chaos and violence the slave system created the greatest planned accumulation of wealth the world had ever seen up to that moment in time. from its very beginning until this very day she meant trashing the shape though. this is the journey back into the history of slavery i think we will truly be making progress when we all accept the

history of slavery as all of our history. our documentary series slavery routes starts march 10th on t.w. . the final preparations ahead of last year's launch the hope probe is now over to mass the aim of the united arab emirates mission is to examine the planet's atmosphere and climate. the chinese t. and when one mission has the same goal the unmanned spacecraft has also reached the orbit of mars in a few weeks it is set to deploy a rover to investigate its surface. the u.s. is also up there with nurses perseverance rover. the red planet has been

a goal of space programs for decades. the race to mars and more coming up on this edition of tomorrow today the science show on d w. almost 60 years ago mariner 4 was the 1st space probe to perform a successful fly by of mars it sent back images that showed a crater popped moon like planets later viking probe sent the 1st detailed pictures of its surface including one that showed something that resembled a human face. in the late 1990 s. nesters pathfinder mission brought the 1st robotic rover to mars. the europeans are also drawn to mars the european space agency suffered a setback with the loss of the mars lander skep at airlie in 2016 but the mars express remains in orbit 17 years later.

our intriguing neighbor is bleak barren and inhospitable but a long time ago it may have supported life it's seen dramatic changes in climate evidence of that can be found on its surface since 2000. mars express has been studying the red planet with a range of complex instruments it was the european space agency's 1st planetary mission. it's an unbelievable technological achievement or. to build a spacecraft that can keep working for nearly 20 years in a very tough environment with high levels of radiation without maintenance or anything else. and it's worked faultlessly to this day that's very very good. this special camera is the most important instrument on mars express it was

developed by a man. with. the camera produces detailed images it has mapped the entire surface of the planet for the 1st time in 3 dimensional color images. the models of the terrain provide new insights into the geological development of mas and the history of its climate. shortly after entering mars is the probe found frozen water on the planet a sensational discovery as the presence of water indicates the possibility of life and it provided evidence that huge amounts of water once flowed on mars. you know how high the mountains are and how deep the valley and from that we can work out how much water was in which location and how long it was there let's keep trying to establish where there was once life on mars and also in determining whether we might be able to do something there in the future under. the

river that once meandered along is comparable to the river rhine in germany it would have transported the same amount of water through the valley 30025000 cubic metres a 2nd. and on the planet's largest volcano mars express discovered signs of fresh alpha some 2000000 years old that means there could still be warm areas on the ground where microbes might be able to live. at latitudes near the equator the orbiter found evidence of past places another spectacular discovery. was some stage ice float into an impact crater there's a 2nd impact crater beneath the 1st one the 1st overflowed and the ice split into the 2nd grader but before i was totally amazed i have to say i grew up in the

mountains i almost felt at home looking at the images and it. was a. the ice shows that the tilt of mars is axis has changed substantially over time causing the equator to move toward the poles and vice versa that ice that's now near the equator was once at the poles the change occurred over millions of years during that time rivers came and went but evidence of their existence can still be seen today. mars express is also equipped with radar that penetrates the surface of the planet to a depth of 5 kilometers. that allows it to see what happens to the huge amount of liquid water that was once on mars. radar measurements show the southern polar icecap is the size of europe the ice here would be sufficient to cover the entire planet with

a layer of water 11 meters deep. and in 2018 the orbit is radar found the most important prerequisite for life liquid water located in underground lakes. it's the white lebanese the strait reflection line on this radar image. on mars express the trauma to also made an exciting discovery it found may thing in masses atmosphere. now says mars rover also detected the gas on the ground at the same time and in the same region. this is current is not too sure methane is a crazy kind of molecule it disintegrates with ultraviolet radiation so that means if it really is in the atmosphere and it can't be more than a 1000 years old. it's very likely that the methane came from below the surface

but how did it get there could it come from microbes living in underground knishes that produce methane like on earth in the permafrost. or was it released through geological processes caused by the weathering of volcanic rock these are questions mars express can't answer. as though the trace gas orbiter was launched it reached mars in october 26th. then spent a year and a half orbiting the red planet drawing increasingly closer until it was ready to begin taking readings. the orbiter is designed to detect me thing and other trace gases in the martian atmosphere twice per orbit at local sunrise and sunset we can also study the different layers of the atmosphere its instruments are so sensitive that it can pick up just 15 meter fane molecules out of a trillion molecules in the atmosphere. a camera on board the orbiter is designed

to show where the me thank would have come from. it's already sent back some amazing images but so far the trace gas orbiter has not found anything. miss your mission needs to continue for quite a long time to get meaningful reading when it comes to my thing we're talking about global so low they may only just be detectable that on one's going to hard to fix your wants currents. next year should see the launch of a european russian mars rover the rosalind franklin it will be able to drill 2 meters into the ground to search for complex organic molecules traces of microbes might have survived in the ground protected from the space radiation that bears down constantly on mars that radiation would quickly annihilate any signs of life on the surface.

you can fire. more on mars on our website d.w. dot com slash science and on twitter. humans have long dreamt about colonizing mars. we'll asked you whether you can imagine humans sailing on mars in the future. magnussen lay in drug on writes yes we should and it would be a great relief for our planet. have added publicity disagrees no he writes it's enough that we are destroying our own planet we don't have to destroy mars as well. judy just hearty raises a few issues to consider rising i think that the mass of the extreme heart and cold temperatures will have to be taken into account and who will be president or king

bear. on twitter we asked you what mistakes we should avoid if we set on mars. everything that is causing us trouble here on earth rights allies approve. she fears however that won't work long term as soon as the pioneering spirit evaporates groups will form that will try to do their own thing. x. y. d.t. tweets that we should avoid dividing mars up into areas of national interest as we've done in the antarctic thanks for all your comments speaking of the end arctic . it is a bit like mars in that it attracts a lot of researches though with a boom in tourism it's not something of its mystery. but the 1st research is there is a breaking new ground on the terra nova expedition the british saw to be the 1st to

reach the south pole but that on a whim to norwegian role. it's and with this famous from expedition. today's scientists still have this side 6 on the continent. reema say disgusting and as molina had a question about that. why is the antarctic so important for research more than a century after the race to the south pole researchers are still passionate about this remote desert of ice scientists from around the world are still trying to uncover the secrets of the continental ice cap they live and work in some 80 research stations in some cases all year round. far away from human influence antarctica its proper name offers a unique laboratory to investigate the earth's history preserved deep in its layers of untouched ice. and because the ecosystem here is so sensitive climate changes

and environmental impacts leave a precise record besides i samples from deep below the surface scientists also collect data high in the sky where radio transmitters on weather balloons record temperature humidity and wind. and what about them penguins are a living barometer of how changing food resources and global warming affect the ecosystem. scientists are worried the emperor penguins will suffer enormously under global warming they need the ice as a platform from which to dive and hunt for food and they also need the coastal ice shelf to stay frozen until january for nesting bats when their fledglings lose their down coats and can begin to go hunting in the icy waters themselves. if the ice keeps on melting their outlook is graham.

no other place on earth is warming as fast as the emperor penguins home the peninsula on the continents west coast so research. and understanding climate change impacts on and arctica is of critical importance for the continent and the world. is round one is right right right and if you do you have a science question you'd like us to answer send it in as a video text or voice mail if we featured on the show you'll get a little surprise from us as a thank you will find the address at the end of the show come on just honest. south american monk parakeets in the spanish capital madrid. you can. read it's one crayfish and sensual but then invasive species are threatening native ecosystems and of the top 10 is the european starling which has spread to north america parts of africa and new zealand where it's in danger of native birdlife.

the asian cup has spread to europe and north america due to the life fish trade and sport fishing. the cane toad has made the leap to australia it was introduced to fight pests but now it's in danger native species. the water hyacinth is spreading worldwide the problem is that it deprives other underwater balance of sunlight and oxygen. and the several muscle is also on them and the next record is about a quest to invade and takes us to northern germany and. the sunsets on the north sea island observed setting the scene for an intriguing nighttime spectacle a scoop neck trail through the water captures some interesting creatures rapacious little things that aren't native to the region the sparkling blue luminescence is

the calling card of nemi abscess the warty comb jellyfish they probably arrived in ship. ballast tanks. the gillmor research vessel aims to find out just how far they've spread in the baltic sea how rapidly they're reproducing and their effect on marine ecology. expedition leader cornu ya is a jellyfish expert the data that's been collected still has to be evaluated but the initial impression his worries. leave scoured the entire german politics ecosystem taking samples from a variety of doubts which show that the already coming jellyfish can be found everywhere you look in qualifying physically in different sizes and density after you can understand which includes that we have a big problem with them the op says especially here in kiel in the southwestern baltic. the would become jellyfish is native to the east coast of the us

ships presumably carry them as stowaways to the black sea in the 1980s from there they've spread to the caspian sea the mediterranean and records in europe. the creatures also called sea wall much due to their shape may look in conspicuous but they pose a huge challenge oh yeah spurs wants to know if the ecosystem here is holding up the limits nish time is not the problem with non-native species is that they don't belong. there only labeled invasive if they start to change the ecosystems. because of stanford and the problem with the walnuts is that they're extremely efficient predators and i don't now and they generate a mucous that's invisible to most other organisms. their prey only notice the danger when it's too late and they're caught up in a sea wall that sticky cells. i mean ups us and get bigger jellyfish can filter 450 liters of water a day. and they consume 80 to 90 percent of the living creatures the plankton

increase in the water. and just for plankton to decrypt stephenie's of. marine biologist kostin riser is looking into the impact of non-native species on the water in sea mudflats of the north sea and he immediately sponsor if you like the soft shell clams which disappeared here back in the ice age apparently the vikings then carried them back from north america as a fresh food supply. other species from even further away are also trying to establish themselves here. i need a shot on this muscle you can see and they'd have barnacle and this little volcano here shoots the pocket deceased but next to it are 2 tiny stars that's those are australian barnacles. shake even managed to come this far. match because the hypothesis is that they arrived in plymouth on british seaplanes

dolls and they've spread throughout the north sea in only a few decades prided. a very special recent arrival is the pacific oyster native oysters became extinct on the soapbox last year due to overfishing last century in the 1980 s. asian relative proved a robust replacement for cultivation now it's pre-literate ing wild across the flats thanks in part to ocean warming. to find me a home for breeding this oyster prefers 18 degrees celsius or warmer him average summer temperature here in ca that's attempt well back in the 1990 s. that wasn't as common it only happened once every few years here and fun to begin with they bred relatively slowly but with global warming since 2000 every summer has been warm enough for them to breed. and he became

a kind of power advice for the oyster and it bred fast so you see it's more common here now than in its native yellow sea or in japanese waters. to fin this. rises says the system adapts crabs have a stablish themselves here now a threat mostly to young more stars but the warty come jellyfish still has no enemies aspers wants to see if some types of fish might take a liking to it or perhaps the parasitic amphipod the high period galba which nibbles away other species reproductive organs the traditional kind of feel they have no natural predators in the central baltic at the edge of where the name yachts this have expanded we have seen that caught fish to eat them. researchers have no real idea what species might prey on these jellyfish and control their population that's the new field of research and what i'll be investigating in the coming years. at least research is also yielding some new

insights confidence larvae for example seem to be able to escape the what he combed jellyfish. clutches but many open questions remain what is the purpose of the jellyfish is fascinating light show and what impact would their presence have on the ecosystems of the north and baltic sea. and that has been. a watery home for plants and animals. in the past it was drained to extract. or to create a land but that also released gases that are harmful to the environment. many was are now being restored so they can once again after things but what about the impact on phony. eggs small ponies and

water buffalo graze peacefully in an area of south east germany known as the swabian door now morse. for decades this moisture friend was drained and used for farming during that time the pizza oil gave off huge amounts of greenhouse gases since it's been reflooded the levels of carbon escaping from here have dropped significantly but can a pharma still make a profit from this friend and agricultural engineer i mean a shoe man works for a foundation committed to preserving and developing the habitat she's working with farmers to test out new ways of using the land. of farmers were initially opposed to the flooding 50 years ago they had to drain it all so they didn't see why that should be reversed. but it's to reduce carbon emissions. by giving a farmer is the chance to keep livestock on the land we're offering them alternative sources of income and. for my christan my agreed to work with the

foundation in 2015 he builds up a herd of water buffalo the risk paid off the marsh land is ideal terrain for the animals with their white. cattle probably wouldn't cope with the story of the water buffalo have no problem at all they're happy to eat the grass and their meat sells well there is no comparison with cattle for the. christian my i get subsidies for his life stock from the local . he also money by cutting the grass on land not used for grazing as another nearby fan scientists are overseeing the reflooding they're testing how different grasses affect carbon levels. we're looking at greenhouse gases it's an automated system that measures trace gas for us you can see the frames around with plants inside. comes over the top and measure the gas we're interested in. inside the frame

it's made. up so we can measure the emissions for a specific plant at a specific water level. just the water level mustn't be too high $10.00 to $15.00 centimeters below the surface seems to be ideal for the least amount of carbon escape into the atmosphere. the scientists are also testing to see which marsh and wetland plants could be most profitable for the farmers. experimenting with growing grass. on his farm he pleads alpacas normally he feeds them hay but he's going to try them on freshly cut. i'm intrigued to know whether they'll eat it in how well they'll take to it we'll see. it's the 1st time this said field is being cut

he. has also sent. they've been very well on the damn ground and the mowing is going smoothly. next to it conventional some a crop square on drained and this land emits 20 tons more c o 2 you pack taf even your aim is to see the difference what we can do with the soldiers and how much profit we lose to see what the future could look like. as yet the farmers don't know what they can earn from the said yes. but the reeds have many potential uses. causes some for that grass is the basic fodder for our livestock so of course we'll try that it could be fodder for the bio gas plants to generate energy would have been or we could create pellets for thermal worms or

insulation blocks like this one which is made of gold rush which has excellent thermal properties. caught. but all these options 1st have to be tested. and house is intrigued to know whether his alpacas will eat the fresh said which is quite tough. but. that's about it so that was clear 0 interest. in one more try. then decided if they don't want to fresh i assume they'll eat it once it's dried as of the morning when it well this stuff dries well choose that off i'm optimistic about the whole project to miss this one for the chief in keeping. the trial as a jew to end in 2022 they stand to benefit both the farmers and the land as well as

the climate. that's all for now thanks for joining us on tomorrow today. we'll be back next week with more fascinating stories from the world of science and technology until then but by . going. to me.
