a joint project between the u. s. canada canadian and european space programs, is expected to operate for up to 20 years. stefan simons joins us now from washington to talk about these images released by nasa. so, stephan, we seen images of our, of galaxies for decades now. so what so significant significant rather about these new images that you haven't seen him before. as you said, 13000000000 years, that's these images show you the beginning of the universe, the 1st stars, the 1st galaxies, all of that. and i'm telling you, you can basically almost feel the vibe in washington. about scientists been so excited. it's like a geek fast nasa geek fest the gas nasa leadership had the opportunity to see more pictures than we have seen now. just a few days ago and a nasa director said he was moved by what he saw so that from

do this better visible. all right, we're going to leave it there that was done on simon's reporting to us. i from washington d. c. thank you. investigation now accuses goober of using underhanded tactics and ethically dubious practices to drive its aggressive global expansion with nearly cruise is not getting a 5 star rating these days after she left her job. as the european commissioner for digital affairs, she was explicitly banned from taking a position at cooper, but she did so anyway. cruise used her old contacts to lobby on behalf of uber, pushing to ease labor and taxi laws all over the you. i think with religous, it's wrong because she breaks the rules for an e u commissioner, and she's going to lobby for business while she just held a public position with in the european commission. that's bad. it's informal while she asked for permission and didn't get it yet. she continues to lobby anyway, dormant libya. the leeks also show that french president emanuel macros held

during police raids. in a statement over acknowledged mistakes, but laid most of the blame on previous leadership working way. so junior is a tech and labor journalist, motherboard, vice, and joins me now from washington. so edward, it's not uncommon for european capitals mix very intensively and their economies and even pick favorite companies. i mean, paris owns part of car maker renaud after all. so what exactly is the scandal here? the scandal here is in part that hoover seem to have take advantage of the system to guarantee access or to build up access to political influential leads to media companies to briefly break the law, be excused for breaking the law and then work together to rewrite the law in its favor, and this is particularly scandal for a few reasons. one, you know, who was home from s p r campaign was that was an inherently disruptive company. but
1:08 am
as the lead show, as has been known since the reporting of this company from earliest days, they relied a lot on acting brazenly acting illegally. and then figuring out ways to justify it later on. right. and that these promises are used to get money to from investors, are used to re orient the priorities that he's had when he created a transit systems or funded them and restructured our daily lives on an idea. or as the whistleblower for who were said, a lie that was sold to consumers drivers, political leads, media companies, regulators. all right, now we're just, we're talking about the whistle over there. let's stay with him for a 2nd. he himself was a lobbyist for uber. was he not part of the problem and do we know why he actually chose to come forward now? yeah, of course it was a part of the problem, but i would say this entire system, this logging system is the problem, right? i mean, the reason why hoover and other companies have these sorts of cheat sheet lobby and

1:10 am
the actual business model and the incentives of it still has the same core business model, which is to try to initially subsidize rides, bring passengers and drivers on to the platform. the price is cut, the pay that hasn't changed, nor have the incentive to do that. no, i have the labor was across most of the countries and cities that it operates. so it still has incentives to erode labor laws restructure regulations. and even if it is not doing it, and some of these more recently legal ways, it has figured out over the past decade of changing the law, how to make previously legal modes of operation. now we go and now now they're at the point where they don't need to act as recently as a legal because they have changed. all right, we're going to leave it there. i'm afraid that was edward and wasteful jr. thank you for your analysis. thank you. all right, and here's a quick look now at some more stories making news around the world. britain's conservative party as announced the procedure for choosing their new leader and
