cobra. 19 delta variance, which is considered more transmissible. i thought across the continent, football, some have been returning to bars and stadiums to watch therapy and championship. while most countries have limited crowds, sizes hungry is allowing full attendance without mask officials from the world has organization a warning against complacency. so let's bring in doctor hans clue. he is with a world health organization. he's a regional director for europe doctor feel you have warned that the new delta variant is poised to take hold of europe this summer. what's your main concern? that was the fact that there is a spectacle that does, that means that the virus still has the hand. so we have to be very careful with large mouth gatherings. events, particularly maybe some of the people without
12:07 pm
a mock which still remains has a for the time being, the mapping is much more better for the cases hospitalisation that are the leading, but we are still not out of the woods. i do understand that no one wants to give up, but all the summer, but we should not live another lot. ok. you mentioned hungry that you mentioned be the euro's is hungry being reckless, always the rest of us overcautious. right? i don't want to point out to any, couldn't really say as the principle that a controls ground opening of society is never a good idea. and we should learn the lesson from one get a go good, actually safe and a minimum of public health makers oversight. so vaccinations that have shown to prevent serious illness. we have a different situation than than last year. we absolutely. the only issue is that
12:08 pm

who is similar to the module that russia bill for the international space station and legacy of close cooperation in space. that china and russia now aim to strength and further a cargo spacecraft, carrying important supplies, including feel clothing and provisions for the crew. dr. with the space station at the end of may it will take 11 more emissions before the space station is complete. to further research modules will duck with the station in 2022. when it will begin operations. it's and then bishop schedule, but china is fast advancing to the top league of space travel. the country 1st sends an astronaut into space in 2003 well behind russia and the united states. in 2019 china celebrated a spectacular 1st by landing and the dark side of the moon in a scientifically interesting region and the satellites. south pole china also

has month and it's science. since last may, the g hung research spacecraft has been exploring the red planet and even sending selfies back to earth. i day ging is offering every nation the opportunity to conduct research on it space station. but getting there will remain firmly in chinese hands. europe has already accepted the offer. european space agency astronauts have already undertaken training in china. the i s . s. era is coming to an end. the united states is critical of the project. it says, cooperating in this way, would put international security at risk. as brilliant as i say, he's a retired us and also now all the sees international cooperation for the european
12:19 pm
space agency joins us from planet earth. thomas, china as space program moving ahead, very swiftly. is china headed for space domination? well definitely they have mastered all the disciplines that are necessary to fly to space starting from a large launch program which is prerequisite to get to whatever object satellites into space. they have telecommunication satellites, the satellite navigation of the basin in the field of science. they are very well on the way. and now with human exploration, i think this is the next important step. so yes, they are on a good way. i wouldn't say dominance, but they definitely are a space faring nation. i'm not asking about the dominance because the u. s. is caution again. china space program essentially calling it an extension of the country. surging military and fish. and how concerned are you about the military
12:20 pm
value of these missions? well, there is no doubt that space is playing a major role also in the field of military security. i've already mentioned some of the domains like telecommunication, observation, and navigation. of course, everyone is using those and services for civilian applications, but also for military application. so i find it a little bit strange to more or less thinking it is possible to deny such as space power the use of this field. however, of course it's of some concern of these areas are used in the field of conflict then who knows what will happen. so the chinese space program has also come on to 5 for not hearing to the social space norms, for instance, not cleaning up the debris of the stuff they send into space. is that fair?
12:21 pm
well, actually that is a criticism that we could say for many space faring nations. and definitely it's true that something needs to be done. you might be aware that europe has started a program to at least start picking up a major object and bringing them back into atmosphere so that they are destructive free end for you. it is just the beginning and yes, definitely all space very nicely. need to agree on common rules that compulsory for everybody and speak to them. otherwise, you might face the situation that this earth space low of all that will become unusable for all those fantastic services that we are using on, on our common lives on, on day to day basis. don't you all have astronaut thomas from the open space agency
