ukraine urges civilians in the southern care southern region as its forces to flee rather as its force to prepare a new offensive to push out the russians. and was overs race atop fuel by dirty tricks? the world was popular allied sherry nap apparently drove it aggressive global expansion with extreme and even underhanded tactics. even taking the french president for ride ah i'm here until the new berlin. welcome to the program. we start with a crew for science, 13000000000 years in the making. the white house is revealed the 1st full color image taken by the james web spink's telescope. nasa says the photo is the deepest look into the universe ever recorded. taken from orbit a 1000000 miles above the earth. the images show the earliest stars and galaxies
3:02 am
ever to be observed. the telescope, our joint project between us canadian and european space programs, is expected to operate for up to 20 years. earlier i asked our correspondence different simons, to explain why these images are so significant that you haven't seen them 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 are about scientists been so excited. it's like a geek fast nasa geek fest the gas nasa leadership have the opportunity to see more pictures than we have seen now. just a few days ago and of nasa director said he was moved by what he saw so that from a scientist they don't deal with emotions normally that who effects that anyway. so
3:03 am
that is the, the, the big story here at the moment when it comes to the web and telescope. and that is that you can have a window into the history of the universe for the 1st time. and that's what everybody's very, very excited about. all right, so what exactly can the james web telescope do that other previous based helicopter telescopes rather can't well, as you mentioned before, it is 1.6 killer 1000000 kilometers or 1000000 miles away from earth. you know, the little brother off the web telescope was the hubble telescope. you remember, everybody knows hubble telescope because it launched in the ninety's and it was shot or brought into the lower orbit of the earth. now lower orbit of the earth, you're and you 1000000 miles away from earth. of course you get more and better in new data, new pictures when you're further away from the earth than when you are closer to the earth. and of course technology developed in the last 3040 years. so nasa,
3:04 am
and as you said, e s a r isa, and the canadians went to town with new technologies with this telescope, it's the most powerful in the world ever. so what type of long term discoveries are scientists hoping to make with the james woods web space telescope? i think the, the common sense is that they tried to understand the origins of the universe better. they will be, you know, this is their pictures possible. sneak peeks possible into the atmosphere of exit planets. right. let's not explain what mexico planet is, but this is all fascinating stuff for scientists. they will get real data real images from what they have never seen before. what nobody has seen before, which helps them to understand the origins of the universe of the galaxies of solar systems, of what have you, planet, planet, systems, and so on. so that's how i can explain it. the good luck with an expert expert who can do this better visible. spect mariah ram to leave it there. that was stephan

simon's reporting to us. i'm from washington d. c. thank you. an investigation accuses over of using underhanded tactics and ethically dubious practices to drive its aggressive global expansion. it's clean thousands of leak documents. show how recorded top politicians, including french president manuel mccaul. the report also says that the taxi company exploited violence against drivers when favorable concessions from regulators delete files went to the guardian newspaper and a consortium of international journalists. neeley 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 her chronic if 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
3:06 am
a public position within 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 with or middle via the leaks also show that french president emanuel micron held several undeclared meetings with uber executives. while he was economy minister, from 2014 to 2016 house was issued for the opposition in parliament wants an investigation. wilson, the commission of inquiry from the national assembly will be able to question people in order to confirm what's true and what isn't in these cubic documents. but the legalization of uber sparked protest by taxi and labor unions. messages from the former over c e o travis colonic shows, he saw violence against goober drivers in france as a way to gain public support for his tech company. according to the leaks, he texted violence guarantees success. the strategizing didn't end their
3:07 am
uber also used a so called kill switch in its offices in several countries which cut access to over servers and blocked authorities from grabbing evidence during police raids in a statement over acknowledged mistakes but laid most of the blame on previous leadership now it's not uncommon for european capitals to mix a very intensively in their economies and even pick favorite companies. perez owns part of the car, make a reno i for all. now, earlier i spoke with edward on way so junior, a tech and labor journalist, motherboard, vice, and asked him what the scandal exactly is 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 politically influential leads to media companies to briefly break the law,
3:08 am
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 whole prime s p r campaign was that was an inherently disruptive company. but as the lead show 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 justifies behavior later on. right. and that these promises are used to get money 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 whistleblower 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?
3:09 am
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 lobbyist and these playbooks, because they do understand that the way to bypass laws and to change the laws is to appeal to government officials. at the highest level, we have a system that a lot of parts of the world encourages that and shrines as normal behavior, allowing corporations to bypass democratic processes. and i was, there was a warm cell, said he, he was part of something that was, you know, a moral that was wrong, that was deeply anti democratic. but that has gone into the point when you look at the labor conditions of these workers, how they're starving. other struggling to make ends meet, where there is no longer room to be silent on. this sort of issue. hooper says, now that it's a reform company, actually a completely different company in your opinion, is that a true statement?
3:10 am
i think the key thing to look at is what has changed about and grammy over pointed to recommendations made by then attorney general eric holder about how to change the company values. what, how change corporate governance and those changes have been made. but what about the actual business model and the incentives? 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 or the incentives to do that, no at 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 mode 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. ukraine says russian shelly monday in the eastern city of hard cave, has killed at least 6 people and wounded dozens more. as russia continues its grinding offensive and eastern ukraine. keel says moscow is stepping up its attacks against civilian targets, including home schools and shopping centers. bits of this building was still collapsing when rescue workers pulled this woman out of the rubbing her apartment. and how keith was raining dust after russia attacked the city again with artillery rockets and tanks, many elderly citizens of ukraine have had to watch their homes crumbled. all boon who to tell you are what have you done. there are old people here and you're doing such bad things to them that you
3:12 am
will burn in hell with your life. that would what dpi you give you the up really high keeps. schools have also been hit hard official say more than 180 have been lost to the war. this one was a boarding school for children who are visually impaired. dwayne dd 2 of my children study here. students, one is 14, the other is 9 years old. guilty of love, father, east, in the city of chassis vio, rush and rockets landed on 3 apartment buildings killing several people. russia continues to claim that it is only attacking targets of military value. but try telling that to those people still walk into a mountain of trouble, brick by brick, in the hope of finding me survivors. t w's nick connelly is in the ukrainian capital reporting for us. i asked him earlier whether it was
3:13 am
true that russia's military seems to be targeting civilians deliberately. well, it's definitely the line here in kia from the government. they are saying that this is an attempt by russia to try to break ukraine's resolve to pressure on the civilian population to so chaos so that those same civilians would then put pressure on their government to come to some kind of deal with russia. given that russia is struggling to make much nowhere progress and certainly much less progress than it had thought given it's huge superiority in terms of weapons and financial resources. i think the kind of intention behind all this is a question for later, for potential war crimes. investigators why russia is doing this. there's been talk that some of this could be because russia simply run out of the kind of precision weapons would allow it to go specifically for military targets. and then this was, he had the, the explanation that it is part of a threatening, we've certainly seen this going on for weeks. they haven't changed their stress. she, i was at her shopping center in central u. k. about 10 days ago. also, you know,
3:14 am
countless dead there no change in the stress she and just claims for moscow time tom again that they were hitting military targets and that these weren't civilians . even though you know very clearly these are civilians who are suffering. i think the kind of takeaway for ukrainians is wherever they are and yet even if they're not near a military target, if you have the chance to get out, you have to because you know, there is no place in this country and especially anywhere near the front lines it is anywhere near safe. the tennis now tennis news rather now and wimbleton champion, elinor reba keyma as been hailed after returning to cause it's done. she won the country's 1st grand slam singles title on saturday. she was given a traditional greeting at the airport and noticed that done. it included the ceremonial comb, commerce drink, and a bite of broadcast jackie bread reebok. humor was born in moscow with switch allegiance from russia to cause it's done. in 2018 russian players were banded wimbleton due to the invasion of ukraine.
