this me her with this is dw news. why from berlin? nasa releases stunning new images of the early universe some 13000000000 years in the making. the latest from the james web space telescope, the most powerful telescope ever launched, which was helping uncovered the secrets of the early universe. also coming up

ukrainian forces launch a counter offensive and southern regions occupied by russia. grains military says it hit a rushing ammunitions depot, killing dozens of soldiers. ah, i am here until them walk them to the program. scientists are calling it the dawn of a new era in astronomy. nasa hasn't available 1st images from most powerful space telescope ever launched. the james web telescope is capable of gazing deeper into space and further back in time than any telescope in history astronomer saint james webb will shed new light on the origins of our universe and could even help answer mankind's eternal question. are we really alone? the european space agency and nasa say the james web telescope has already changed our understanding of the universe. this chart shows the nebula created by

a dying star expelling its mass. you're coming, nasa scientists say the intense detail never seen before. along with infrared shots when allow them to understand exactly what happens. a stars di miller, we thought in the birth of stones, is equally stunning. this is a nearby style forming region within our milky way. the image reveals hundreds of new stars that were previously hidden along with structures that scientists have yet to identify. web has homed in on galaxies so far away that the light from them has taken billions of years to get to the telescope. and of this image shows galaxies that formed over 13000000000 years ago, nasser is encouraging people to download the images on their website and take a closer look. really zoom in and play around. there are galaxies here in which we're seeing individual clusters of stars forming, popping up, just like popcorn. another image shows how galaxies merged together. one of the

fundamental principles of the universe that scientists are eager to learn about. yeah, the telescope also analyzed the atmosphere of a faraway gas planted and detected would have apec. this plan couldn't sustain life . but the james web telescope will be analyzing other planets that are more like death and paving even deeper into the universe. nasa says it's a game changer. ready ready ready ready ready ready now those are some really incredibly images, are incredibly breathtaking measures rather and to tell us more about the telescope that captured them or joined from washington by keith cowan, editor of space ref dot com. he's also in aster biologist and former nasa employee . so keith, tell us, how were these image is actually collected? i mean, we're not actually looking at simple photographs. here. are we well, we are, we are in, it depends, it's, it's data you're signed. as you say, all this is data and you get throw it into a computer and it, it is determined you,

this is what a human could see. but you know, an image is an image ample. we are seeing though, with a different form of light than we normally would see in our earlier telescope images. that's the bread which can't really see that much of a cost because of yours atmosphere, right. but when you get above the ears atmosphere, which what space telescope does vision and you could see in the parade, you can see through the dust you and you could see far more detail than we've ever been able to see and further out than we've ever been able to see in lights here from us. now, could the james web space telescope actually help us identify planets, they have conditions that could harbor life? oh, absolutely good effect today when i heard that they, they showed that the nebula where a star had died and they were just seeing hydrocarbons in my, my years lit up. and then we're looking at the atmosphere of a giant planet and they found water. and so one of the things that web can do is look at individual planets that we've already discovered that run the stars and

look at their atmospheres and tell what's in the atmosphere. and there are some chemicals that if they're there, odds are there only there because of life, or we could even detect the pollution from a world like our own. so you answer your question a yes. and as it asked biologist, i'm most interested in that aspect of this. okay, now this is an almost $10000000000.00 project, and it's planned to last for 20 years. what you expect will come for it during the duration of its own mission. well, if you're scientist, your, and what they noticed today was people were say, my god, this is amazing. and they're used to the fact that the hubble would take weeks or months or years to generate images. and what are they presenter? said while we did that before lunch one day, that this telescope is going to be able to generate discoveries every day, maybe twice a day. 7 days a week, for 20 years. that will dwarf what hubble did and hobbled dwarf, what we were able to do before this. so again,

my interest and i've said this many times today is not what you and i as adults are seeing, but with children are seen because they will now only know a universe where seeing all this detail is completely normal and who knows what they'll go and do with that information, affection shampoo i can bring up there. now the images themselves are incredibly breathtaking, but maybe for a naysayer, what would you say is actually the benefit of studying the early days of the universe? well, if you're wondering why we spend all this money instead of, you know, pick something else. the answer is that if you just, you know, here we are to modern civilization. we have all these fancy technologies. i'm talking to you off through a satellite in space. many of them were developed in parallel with our ability to look at the universe and the imaging, for example, that the way you take us before about the picture. the way a computer takes that image and processes into something, it looks for detail. we've already learned that with the hubble space telescope, the same software can be adapted to looking for breast cancer, tumors,

and other things. so there's always a spin off. there's always a parallel i'll use use and usually the real exciting ones, the ones we don't even know about yet. all right, that was keith colleen, editor of spacecraft dot com. thank you for analysis and bring us a little bit closer to some the new discoveries we can look forward to alicia. now we go to the ongoing political crisis in sri lanka, their reports that's relock as president, as for the country on a military jet. following days of protests, as crowds continued to occupy his residence in the capital, colombo immigration officials said got a buyer roger boxer and his wife ordered an air force plane headed to the mall dees, roger pock. so went into hiding before angry mobs stormed his presidential. compound on saturday, the countries in the grips of it's worst economic crisis and decades. food fuel and medicine sorta just had become commonplace there on the island of 22000000 people. roger poxel was expected to resign this week,

along with the country's prime minister. here's a quick look now at some other stories making headlines around the world. social media platform, twitter is swimming billionaire elan mosque, in an effort to force him to buy the company mosque is attempting to back out of an agreement to acquire twitter for $44000000000.00 and its lawsuit, twitter accused mosque of owning the coveting stock value and disrupting its operations. friendship you as president joe biden as hell talks with his mexican counterpart, andrea manual lopez or a door at the white house, biting cold immigration, a challenge. and that it was a common challenge is that his administration was creating legal pathways for migrants over door recently. skip the summit of the americas to protest the exclusion of left as governments, as i told you from the beginning, i mean the u. s. as it has killed the leader of the syrian branch of the so called islamic state in a drones right. my her all ago was killed near

a jan doris while writing a motorcycle. the pentagon says one of his top aides was also seriously injured. ukrainian forces have launched a counter attack in the southern harrison region in line with their plan to retake the territory from russia. cube says its forces destroyed in ammunition depot and killed over 50 russian soldiers and an attack on the town of norco, which is held by russian troops. state media and russia gave a different account claiming at least 7 people were killed. elsewhere in ukraine, south, the city of nikolai of was hit by russian, the tax critics, and of clinics. and apartment buildings were also hit in dream, at least a dozen people dw corresponded. emmanuel shaws is in kiev and has more information about these recent attacks. well,

as this is zack is just a latest of the string of attacks. dad's dad actually fell upon his civilian buildings. you mentioned a 2 hospitals, one's called several residential buildings. this is only how, what happened today, and it's something we've seen happening over and over, over the past 5 months of war. rush on me size falling on a civilian targets this time on this particular attack, they were about a dozen people injured. nobody died, but those attacks on a daily basis are deadly. i'm talk, i'm thinking about the latest, which is a deadly or so far in this as if the outer so in dennis, where did that still has an increase to over 40 and 1st responders are still searching. the rebel ukrainian forces have come to rely on recognizance drones in their fight against the russian invasion for an extra port t w's. killian buyer traveled to the latvian capital of riga and does it have drone factory there that struggling to keep up with demand?

a few weeks ago these ukranian refugees did not know which way to turn a screwdriver. now they're building drones for the ukrainian army. atlas aerospace, the latvian company, they now work for saw an explosion and demand for military grade recognizance drones with the onset of the war in ukraine previously was like i was happy to fell then john spell monson. now you, if you're talking both extra 100 per pay per month and it's tough to think it may be from a lot you not going to need to sell to think how we're going to sell more. atlas builds drones that are small enough to be carried by one soldier. they are highly sought after by ukrainian special forces. units equipped with these drones can cover large areas for recognizance and stream their video feeds back to base in real time. in for red thermal imaging cameras turned night into day,

atlas says tools like this help save soldiers lives, and the ukrainians are buying so far more than 100 drones have already been delivered. the battle has become a bit more transparent, maybe and you have soldiers that are just more independent can act independently because they already have all the data and what's happening over the next hill behind bad wall. this justice on ukraine's battlefields consumer drones from china have had a starring role in propaganda video circulating on social media that the soldiers have been modifying these drones to drop bombs. i heard often to devastating effect. yeah. yeah, but you won't be stuck in there, but experts say using chinese may drones is potentially dangerous. this video allegedly shows an artillery strike honing in on

a ukrainian drone operator. it's been claim that d j i, the chinese firm producing these drones is passing on gio tracking information to the russian military. something the company denies. back in latvia, atlas aerospace is hiring more ukrainians to increase production. they are keen to help them with when they can drains for the ukrainian army. with the help of the strengths we shall win, the war. war is a money maker for some. all of these green bags will be going to ukraine, and they won't be the last, on average, these drones only last for 48 hours in combat. and so the flow of equipment will continue. earlier we spoke to samuel bennett, an expert on drones from the center for a new american security will explain to how they are shaping the conflict and

ukraine. as your report recently indicated, these drones are absolutely key to providing intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities back to the operators back to the units that deliver artillery strikes more around more on transit systems. and that provide intelligence information to essentially anyone willing to fly them. and so these drones have shaped the battle field for both sides with both sides now using both military and commercial, easily obtainable drones such as chinese magic models. and here's a reminder of the top stories we're covering for you at this hour. nasa has released the 1st pictures from the james web space telescope, including the deepest ever image of the known universe. scientists save the web telescope will help them better understand of the 1st stars and galaxies formed. sri lanka, president has reportedly fled the country and a military jet. following days of protests,

liberation officials say good bye rich boxes and his wife forwarded in air force plane headed to the mold eaves. it was affected. resigned this week. crowds continued to occupy his former residents and the capital colombo and you're up to date your business news up next with christy plants and, and remember, there's always more news on our website that's d, w dot com. i'll be back at the top of the next. i will with more news. thanks for joining us. for her. i'm just kinda, i think that's hard. and in the end the some me you, i'm not a lot of to you anymore. we will send you back her. are you familiar with this.
