what we're interested in the global economy, our portfolio w business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission. analyze the flight for market dominance . with the w business beyond me. a show coming up today. china launches the 1st crew to it, space station. along my truck and successfully blocked it off with 3 astronauts on board. it's a giant leap invading space program. but what's driving it as truism or strategic objectives? and with the 2nd wave of no virus infections declining when vaccine hesitancy hinder india efforts to keep

a 3rd wave of the news. i'm british bennett, you're welcome to did up the news. a sure glad you could join us. china has sent 3 us off into space as the 1st step towards activating it's a space station. yeah. the, the astronaut. last off, a long march rockets earlier on thursday. it will be the longest ever chinese man mission. and the 1st in the, i guess, the proven spent 3 months in china down her module, which will be expanded in the coming years into a space station. the launch represents china's growing ambitions in space that have only accelerated in the past few years. john hughes,

or how many of the heavens is supposed to consolidate china's power in space? it's the name given to the 17 meter long co module, which will supply the new space station with energy. keep it on cos and provides a 3 astronauts with room to live and carry out research. the crew will examine whether the solar cells deliver electricity reliably that also try out improved space suits which should allow them to stay in space twice as long. the at, you know, they're what they call module was transported into orbit with china's heavy lift launch vehicle the long march 5 at the end of april. the mission took place later than planned due to mechanical problem. it's john who is similar to the module that russia build for the international space station, a legacy of close cooperation in space that china and russia now aim to strengthen

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 an bishop schedule, but china is fast advancing to the top league of space travel. the country 1st sense an astronaut, and a space in 2003 well behind russia and the united states. in 2019 china celebrated a spectacular 1st by landing in the dark side of the moon in a scientifically interesting region and the satellites. south pole china also has mud and its size. since last may,

the g hung research spacecraft has been exploring the red planet and even sending stealthy back to earth i. beijing 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, as 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 and jeremy enough law is dr. blending bow and he's electra and international relations and a space policy expert at the university of dr. bone. welcome. why does china want to space station? so the chinese space station it is very much

a marker of the chinese technological i'm, scientific and engineering capability. it's very much an aspect of soft power for the chinese government and both for domestic and international audiences. so it's a real marker of that, of china as em technological mission and actual capability. now that it has achieved what had set out to do about 30 years ago, which was to build a crude space station. but those china space program add to the knowledge to knowledge about space for humanity, if i can put it that very so in some ways, as we can expect, that we have to break down china space program between a small military and commercial and economic aspects. this is the scientific man, the exploration aspects of the space station is very much a scientific project. so m chinese university, that industries will be conducting all sorts of experiments and on the space

station and also inviting international participants as well. so, so, and space scientists will be able to provide lots of ambitions and ideas in terms of what's experiments they'd like the chinese space station to run for them. i believe the p space agency, i'm from some signal an interest in possibly pursuing some experiments on the chinese space station. but still as opposed to call question, we're trying to space program is what is driving it if it's altruism or other deeper strategic objectives. so like every state and that as space, policy and space activities, there are concrete interests behind what they do and in terms of space, exploration and science, which is what the space station is about. there are a range of interest when is the political science. so the prestige, the soft power demonstrating china as a major technological power and the 2nd only maybe to the united states in many

aspects of space capability. that is also the larger investments in science and technology in china as a whole on which this is part, training more stem graduate. so scientists and engineers, i'm stimulate things certain parts of the high technology economy as well. so there are many different interest practical interests that are behind such a large project out of this. now the united states and other countries have a raise concerns on this. essentially, how china space program is closely tied to its military. is this a cause of worry you think? so as almost every major space power has a military dimension or elements or interest in what it does in space. but there are many different activities that go on in space. and there are some activities in space that are more threatening than others, but chinese space station has very little military relevance in the same way that the international space station poses no actual military threat to anyone so,

so neither does the chinese space station. however, china does have a large military space program as well that is separate to this. and so there's a lot of activity to be concerned about to china in space in terms of a military standpoint. but this space station is not one of those activities been fairly benign projects and other chinese undertaken where the space station dr. blood and bone from the university of lester was a pleasure talking to you. thank you so much. thank you for having me. the role in the 2nd wave of nevada infections appears to be waning. the focus now is on vaccinating as many people as possible to prevent a 3rd. the government wants to vaccinate all adults by the end of the year. however, there may not be enough vaccines for some 900000000 people. and if that want challenging enough vaccine hesitancy among parts of the population,

i'm making matters difficult. the w nameesha just wild reports from the northern state of hardy are now it's their turn to get back sedated and these young residents of wrote up in the not indian state of her yana, have been eagerly reading for it after the month of low vaccine availability supply is finally catching up with the demand. you should see online slots in the small city booked quickly and allowing us flame that distributions in june has improved access to the jap even further. dr. believe in just massive 2nd, we have good. have these 2 back seem hesitancy. people are more of there and they could also be driven by feel they have totally seen the heart of the corona blew me off to the 2nd b, b plus scrambling to get vaccinated. d. c, vaccinate us. we definitely want protection from that's why i believe vaccine

hesitancy is negligible in a village 20 kilometers from the hospital. these men into a very different picture. only 2 of them have been vaccinated because they volunteered in the vaccine trials. and even they don't feel confident about the benefits of the vaccine in the last 2 months. more than 50 people have died in this village. these men see, it wasn't good about us that gives them, but feel guy got several suffered fevers, but you're covered at home, him the you much the believe only door to go to hospitals die. and without a real threat, b. c, a vaccine that doesn't even guarantee protection doesn't make sense out of the month. there is a new vaccine. got a couple needs to tell us why we should get into that. what are the benefits they are feeling to give us information? because those cable don't do have died after vaccinations, the vaccine, the record,

i think the now the same plasma had to be, isn't use for just keep changing this down, which i had thought about as clean here. the problem is in the cities because of the felling trees, it's a city problem. it doesn't the development heat in the villages, local health center where the deserted look. all the only $600.00 people have been vaccinated, supplies are limited, and there isn't a rush anywhere. and it's all the more reason that the few who do show up stand out . so need to hide much tablet here from a nearby village to get his father, the 2nd dog. he himself snapped up his toes as soon as became available. he is now looking out to book a slot for his wife. he says there is no need to fear the jap, about so many people worry about. he was off to the vaccine. my father had one to

pick him and i got it as well. and i had no side effects at all. it's in the vaccine, it's very important to everyone must get into this one thought blood, maybe your wife, you're right now, but he's in fabric heat as everyone around him said, the backseat can feel like india is slowly solving its supply crisis, but it may face an uphill battle against skepticism. to prevent the crisis of demand as well. and that's it for today, it is more updates on our website that did up a dot com forward slash issue. and you can follow us on facebook and twitter pages as well. we leave you now with more spectacular pictures of china's rocket launch for rebecca. the same time tomorrow is due by the

known as europe's most political film festival hollywood starz, welcome. but it burnings international film festival. they've never been the main attraction over the years. we've got used to welcoming filmmakers who are also dissidence, or his work has been banned in the own countries. this year's edition again spotlights. we'll life injustices, and in particular, tells the stories of confident, influential women whose courageous actions will go down in history and even the lunch for you. push back away from the table, getting there as quick as we can. the 100 bay detention camp in cuba, our magic hollander, that is fine. i associate wish to represent you from laura pena is arrested on suspicion of having helped organize the 911 terrorist attacks. these held the pano without being charged and he confesses a lawyer,

discoveries. his confession was obtained under arrest. the film is based on a true story. jodie foster played the real life lawyer, nancy paul. he has been interrogated. he has been held against his will for 6 years without a single charging weight against nancy hollander came to berlin for the films premier. i'm really thankful that this film is premier in here because it's the most appropriate film festival that we could have imagined. and i want an audience to know what happened to, to do, and to bring alive the torture and the terrors of going to animal so that people don't forget to call this number to my wife. and more, we know not to trust them or did i believe that the united states of america would use fear and terror to control? no matter how dramatic this is,

the reality was more dramatic than this because this is beyond anything you could imagine. you need to tell me what happens, how do was detained in us prison for 14 years without ever being charged with a crime. he kept diaries documenting his time in prison. the film is based on those diaries, that's a fly. he would you please raise your right hand and repeat after me. i also want to the german audience. to know that mohammed has a child born in germany and his wife lives here, kitty and he should be able to travel here. another film, screening at the bailey knowledge, as i want, is also about violence in the long shadow cast by the parents. the the, you win by the thousands play testing for the 1st time against male power. so protest was sparked by the mass rapes on to here square doing the air of spring

demonstrations in 2011. the women held up nice symbols of the violence used against, but this is the only thing that change in the mentality of woman the way how they start to realize justin and they're white and they are not here anymore. they're not ashamed to talk about it anymore. and this is what we used to be afraid of saying, no, we don't. and i think this is, i hope it will lead us for a change in my hair quality connecting the sexual assaults during the rebellion with her own story and the memories of her pregnancy in me as a child, she was also taught the girls were worthless. i never ending chain of disempowering it to me. and

i mean, i have seen mean what have been in the hurry to square. it's just open up. every thing thing thing thing that happened to me 20 years ago is all name was my then today job. although i know i'm to meet while i get there because they've been going to manage the arab spring men, different things to men, women. but egypt and women are now rising up and driving fire routine changes in their country. a

powerful stuff. and someone who has seen both those films is scott rooks birth. welcome scott. now the more tiny and present a totally different take on the 911 narrative that we see where the muslim characters with the bodies it's been nominated for a host of woods. jodie foster, one a golden globe. what did you make of it? you're completely right. i mean, in this film, the villains are the u. s. government. and the victim is this muslim and mom did for law. he who was falsely imprisoned in, in guantanamo bay. but the story of a prickly nancy hollander is struggle. her fight to get him released from guantanamo bay is, is really sort of a hollywood heroic struggle. and so it's great to see it getting the sort of proper hollywood treatment. and it's a phenomenal moving great, a former president brock obama famously promised her clothes guantanamo bay over a decade ago. it still open with thousands of inmates, some of whom have never been charged. do you think this feel might be the one to

really make a difference to those people? well, it might, i mean, i think guantanamo bay is sort of fallen off the agenda for many people worldwide. we haven't seen a news recently. and when i spoke to nancy hollander on the red carpet, the premier of this film here in berlin, she said she hopes the movie draws attention back to the fact that guantanamo bay is still open and maybe puts pressure on the u. s. government to come through on its promises to finally close that prison. okay, now let's talk about as i want. we got a taster in the report setting cairo during the spring, the director has called it an examination into the agenda. inequality arab society suffers form. yeah, this is a really interesting documentary because it looks at the air sprinkling completely different angle than most of the used to seeing. and i'm eating a lot of us. remember the news reports from the time. but the fact that there was such a large group of female activists protesting male violence was something that i think got lost in this film. really put these female activists back in the center and shows how much,

how vital they are to any process of democracy in the middle east. it's really past the documentary and we'll look forward to that now least the one the bell in our documentary award for new set in the suburbs of paris, where she herself grew up. tell us a bit about this. interesting because it's a similar time to documented to take a look at something that we think we know and gives a whole different angle for it. so this, this takes place in the suburbs of paris. this are the new which in the news media are often portrayed as sort of hot spots for violence extremism. but the up grew up in these areas and the way she looks that is completely differ. he takes really so humanistic, empathetic look at the people who live there and also finds real beauty in areas that are superficially seen quite dire. it's a fastening very personal documentary, and i think after you've seen it, you'll never look at paris the same way again. really. ok. got wrong for as always, quite chatting with you now it dates back to ancient egypt where it was set to be a favorite of queen cleopatra in india,

the middle east and africa. it's been used for thousands of years for cultural reasons. and with cooling properties, i'm talking about decorating the skin using hannah is long been popular in the south asian communities. but one hand, an artist in london, is on a mission to bring hannah to a wider audience. attached with a modern swiss the art of painting bodies with hannah paced, goes back to antiquity. today it's become a veritable fashion trends. poverty dom job runs london by where anyone can get their body painted henna tattoos are created using a paste made from a certain plant. typical head of patterns and designs are painted onto the skin with this dye, which stains the skin and slowly fades after about 10 days. so

hello design means a lot for me because growing up we used hannah designs, especially on weddings for us. it holds true significance for a spacious occasion. for me, while i was growing up, i thought it wouldn't be amazing to share this with everyone and not just had it for wedding. so my aim has always been to make it accessible for everybody. but not everyone welcomes some se westerners wearing henna tattoos are engaging in cultural appropriation, knowing little to nothing about the roof of this art. for me, i feel like if someone's wearing our hannah and they're wearing it with sincerity and they really enjoying wearing it. that is absolutely not nothing wrong. i feel like if someone was going to wear it just to ridicule it, they wouldn't go through the hassle, went on the skin for 10 days. so that obviously appreciated, obviously love it. and that makes me feel good. henna tattoos is originated in north africa, the era and endo asian world. so years and centuries ago,

it used to be used to cool down in the skin. so they used to crush up the need. make it mixed into the pace, add with water and put it on the hands on the palms of the feet and he's to cool you down. then over the years it became decorative, when it became decorative for wedding, just because it's color. so a form of make up pop stars like liana and us icon madonna helped popularized an attack to since the 1990. many celebrities have hired pub and dangelo to get similarly unique tattoos done the 36 year old who's bars based in london, selfridge is department door is revolutionizing this art for me. she experiments with new colors offers. do it yourself. hannah says for home use and even makes me on hand design even though this fancy effect wears off after 24 hours. so i think the tradition,

what would be that? always? we are considered a modern brand, but my roots lie with the tradition. that's where it came from, and we will ways all of that, whether traditional or more modern hannah designs this glorious art is definitely an expression of cultural diversity. mm. such intricate patterns. it must have a really steady hand to do that. well. well, we've come to the end again, but you can find more stories on our website, that's the w dot com slash culture. and we'll give the last word to diana ross. the u. s. senior and former supreme has a new single out. it's the title track from her 1st studio album in 15 years recorded in her home. and it's simply called thank you. enjoy

. but with it being the last pro democracy daily in hong kong, they're going to be putting out hall for 1000000 copies overnight. we've got a staff member there this evening to witness this because the way hong kong is tend to respond as they did last august, is to basically white the shelves of the daily in the morning in lieu of their being any protest at the moment, particularly during covey, this is one way on kong that the of a found to express their support and their discontent. i imagine. so for them the show goes on and for readers. they have said that they will buy apple daily, even if it's blank. tom grundy, we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. starting a space where a chinese spaceship carrying 3 asteroids stopped successfully with the country's new space station and blasted off about 6 hours earlier to take part in a 3 month mission to set up experiments. unprepared receives the space,

for illegal campaign financing. denies being responsible for the massive over spend on the 2012 reelection bed is selected here. these policies spend about double the amount allows, and then tried to hide the costs. of the u. s. supreme court has dismissed a republican that challenge to a bomb care. the decision will maintain affordable health insurance for tens of millions of americans. the justice is a rule, the 72 that texas and 17 other states that mounted the same challenge did not have standing in the case publication have made numerous unsuccessful attempts to strike down your bama in a health care law since it was passed in 2010 straight to washington then joined date of the correspondent of a solid. welcome all about how significant is this verdict? well, it's a very big deal fill. because number one, it has been one of the most prestigious project of the obama era and his

administration. and also donald trump, after that, had put it very high on his agenda to get rid of obama care of the affordable healthcare act, which brought health insurance to 31000000 americans. because unlike in other industrialized countries that has not been a law in the united states, that it was telling its citizens to have health insurance, the republicans have always argued this is too expensive. it's a very individual decision. if you want to be insured or not, the democrats and contrast, arguing that they want to protect low income families and also the middle class of course, republican states. now, as you mentioned, including texas suit against a part of this law, which was essentially a penalty. if you were not insured, you had to have a penalty. you have to have to pay a penalty. the. so the supreme court now deciding that no the states are not in charge, they don't have the legal standing to take that to the supreme court. and this is not the 1st time the court has rejected. republican attack on

a bomb care. now it's been the 3rd time, in fact there have been decisions made by the supreme court in 2012 in 2015. and now again, always by the way with a different legal. 3 reasoning underlying the ultimate goal, however, has always been the same. and that was to take obama care down the 1st time that happened in 2012 was by the way, also a very close decision at the time. conservative justice john robert sided with the liberals on that matter of 5 to 4 decision now was very clear this time around 7 to 2. although donald trump and important reminder of us appointed 3 conservative judges in his term. so there is a really conservatively dominated supreme court now, ruling in support of this law of the obama era. you cannot have it any clearer than that, right? so does that mean that, that this is the final word on the affordable care act?

well, for now, at least it seems like that is the case, but because with every word it and the hurdle will be set higher for the republican to take this to court again, that always will have to find new legal reasoning. they will always have to come up with a new idea to bring this to court again. that said, of course, the view people certainly try to do that again. but then on the other hand, also we have to consider that this law and this affordable care act is getting more and more popular, popular among americans 31 millions, as i mentioned, have already been insured with health insurance and obama care. and so the law and the attempt to take it down in particular will get more and more resistance from voters as well of a solid in washington. thank you. a key chapter of germany's recent history is coming to an end. the secret files of the intelligence service of the communist,

former east. the stars are being transferred to germany's national archives. the agency that preserves the files is being dissolved. starcy was notorious for surveillance of the east german population. when communism collapsed in 190809 civil rights activists prevented the destruction of many of the best files in the victims and perpetrators. a chance to confront you want to ring the bell. i didn't do much longer. zebra. i read the door there, old building, any fin, and they lived here when they were young, a life that will anything but private window in on the place start the informa spied on them from across the courtyard bank. when this tree was much smaller. how did you see stones, the people standing, magical, i don't know. i just found out when i read about it,
