a thin injuries and they have been rashed from his my hospital and the police officials. how theatre that vin, number of people identified why 3 gunmen and a senior police official in because my was the the that the police was very much intense on ending the seat at the hotel. so, ah, there was a gun exchange for some time. and i write out a faint way the police are still trying to call and to call down there and the exchange and within no time i know the police will be issuing a statement on what has been happening. that is felix marino in nairobi. many thanks. phyllis present in seizing thing here, sealed a 3rd term as leader of the chinese communist party. he's now confirmed as china's most powerful ruler in decades. she's appointment wrapped up the week long. carly congress, in the great hall, the people constitutional changes cemented. she's dominant. the also shook up the

party senior ranks promoting several close alex i asked correspondent barbie and crash marine beijing, whether she now has complete control over china's communist party. i guess you could call has power absolute by now. i mean, just look at the 7 member am standing committee that was announced today. the list is full of allies of him. and basically he appointed the people of his political network that he, you know, got to know during her last decade as a party secretary and several provinces. and they were not rewarded or you know, because of their qualifications, but rather because of their low yellow t at or seating ping, it's the list full of yes men and m he also, i mean, teaching ping broke was a several norms. decade old norms are the most obvious is of course it, and now he is serving a 3rd term in office. but also there was a golden rule, basically saying that am, you know,

the 1st rank of party congress. they should retire once they hit 69. but of course, a seating ping did not care too much about that any more. he also appointed an people who are already older than that. and that gives you an idea that you know, he feels so an hour, his grip on power. so firm that he doesn't really need to care about those old rules. so far beyond the question, all political observers were asking, today is, what is this mean for china's future? what am, let me point out a 2 aspects, for example, the economy and the most likely a future prime minister will be leach young bits are the 2nd most powerful man in china right now. and what did he do? he served as the mayor in shanghai when the city impostor biggest corporate locked on in history of the spring. and yet he did so by being very loyal. he followed orders of paging, but he did a lot of damage. and to the most wealthy and most economic am powerful city of the

country. so for example, if you're an international company here in china or i don't think that's very reassuring message that you know, a very dogmatic leader who yeah, dealt such a blow to shanghai now becomes a most like then the next prime minister. another aspect is our gender equality. i mean it's not a surprise at the am a standing committee, the dis no, a fema party carter, but not even them to hold politburo in the 25 member poly bro, this not even one single fema politician. of course, the says long term effects on gender equality. there's not really a role model for young chinese women to look up to am. so just to give you a tour are like 2 ideas. how are the that yeah, how this announcement off the standing committee will transform the country. that is a correspondent fabian questioner in beijing. many thanks. security forces have made dozens more rash as anti government demonstrations in iran. enter

lou lou here in a sparse rocky landscape and jordan, mysterious grave has been discovered from the 9000 year old resting place of a young girl who was buried below the floor of a house in a stone age settlement. ah, the girl was buried alongside valuable, elaborate grave goods which will most likely symbols of a great sense of love and loss. meet us as humans settled, the dead became part of everyday life. whole people increasingly related to those they had lost and to their ancestors. upon the archaeologists who uncovered the remains of the 8 year old child named her shamella. the beautiful

ah what happened all those thousands of years ago? and what does the grave reveal about life in basha? this neolithic settlement with the 26th of june 2018 in boucher the years excavations are drawing to a close and the archaeologists are carefully recovering the final artifacts from the site. it is business as usual until the team suddenly comes across shimaya's grave. they are amazed by their discovery

the grange was extremely elaborate as are the grave goods alongside tremulous remains i would say that the necklace of this child outstanding. it is a fascinating piece of jewelry. blue defensive against it gives you grace pan. it's incredible, even compared to ancient. petra was one times taught the berry treasures taken to germany for further examination. the restoration experts. andrea fisher and ali spoke heart prepare the beats so that the archaeologist ha, she can reconstruct the necklace which will then be returned to jordan.

suddenly the modern world is brought to a standstill by a virus. international travel largely ceases a national borders, a closed finally, in autumn of 2021. the experts from the fly only vegetate berlin's ex, already and to scientific association, are able to return with jamil as were stored necklace or the stone age artwork is to receive a special place in the new petra museum. near the basha excavation site, archaeological discoveries are only allowed to be taken out of jordan for research purposes, but they remain the countries property before jemila nicholas is mounted in the museum, the restoration experts and archaeologists make another visit to the discovery site . what will they uncovered this time?

hans kia ca, gabe who came to basha in 1984 and has overseen the excavations ever since hostile khalid read. z add a li, fazel, and mohammed a members of the amarillo tribe. of some of them have spent decades assisting with the excavations along with their families. many of the local bedouins once lived in and around neighboring petra, as tourism became increasingly important. the jordanian government moved them into a purpose built village albania. the village is also the base camp for the badger archaeologists. the necessary equipment is stored in one of el bait. as simple houses the team only ever take

what they really need with them as getting to the site is extremely difficult. with the pickups, make their way through the dusty rocky landscape to the entrance into the deep barsha gorge. the spouse vegetation here requires irrigation to grow these large trees, on the other hand, grew without human interference. they marked the beginning of the gorge shaped by masses of water, of a thousands of years known locally as a seek from here, the team has to continue on foot. the luggage makes the climb even more challenging . multiple journeys are required to transport everything to the site. despite the difficulties,

the seek remains the easiest way to access the well hidden location. it is safe to assume that people took the same route to the settlement 9000 years ago. somewhat unsurprisingly, father was 1st discovered by a mountaineer. more than 30 years ago, the austrian climb. i came across some stone age tools at the foot of one of the rock walls, hans kia ca gabor's learned of the discovery and set out to investigate, guided by curiosity and luck. in 1984, cambridge had to navigate the gorge without equipment. these days, 3 lad is remain in place in the seek during the excavations while the others are required at the site itself. with the remote hidden location of the stone age village,

protected the artifacts from grave robbers. and from late a human expansion and construction towards the top of the seek opens up to reveal the high plateau. the archaeologists have named barsha after the surrounding mountains. marian benson hans kia ca gabor's find themselves in familiar surroundings. but it is the 1st time andrea fisher and alleys, poor cod, had laid eyes on the excavation site, which amelia's grave and the beads, the 2 restoration experts have now been working on for almost 2 years, were found for thousands of years. the only visitors to this place consisted of occasional goat herders. the 9000 year old village was discovered during the removal of the 1st layer of earth. archaeologists can only base their conclusions on materials able to survive for

millennia, such as rock, horn, bone, or shell. the jordanian archaeologist, an art historian, serene al baki, uses the scientific results of her colleagues, as well as her knowledge and her imagination to bring the village back to life. i'll show baki was part of the excavation team in 2018 and has developed a strong bond with the ancient site. it is the 5th time maryan bens has visited barsha in 2018. she and halla ashi uncover jamil as grave. that's over the me. basha is like winning the lottery and i was able to excavate a number of graves that told me a lot about ancient social structures. that is, my specialist fails to now mind the transition from their medical to sedentary ways of life and the resulting social changing. se, as of child find that in barger,

one of the oldest villages discovered to date this transition occurred around 9000 years ago. along with jericho and hazel baster and other places. basha is part of the so called mega site phenomenon along the jordan rift valley, which introduced new socio economic patterns to the area. oh, initial settlements were founded here around a 1000 years be see. these settlements expanded covering areas of up to 16 hector's . then banished again. barger lies approximately half way between the red sea and the dead sea. at the edge of what he out above. the dead sea region acts as a form of natural archive for geologists and hydrologists. the strata all layers of rock and soil reflect the climatic conditions of the past. a warm period

began around 12000 years ago, causing glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise. the changing climate resulted in cold, damp winter's, and hot summer months. ideal conditions were growing grain and legumes. these changes, along with the fertile soils allowed previously nomadic peoples to settle in one place. villages sprung up and then expanded their inhabitants farmed land and enjoyed their new found leisure opportunities at the time, the landscape between a man an october probably looked similar to the north of modern day jordan, where reforestation efforts are now proving successful.

to date it is not known how the people who lived on the plateau gained access to water. there was no indication that there was a spring in the vicinity. did the villagers perhaps used to seek as a reservoir? and what did this remote plato look like at the time? you know, life is changing from pass on to no answer. i don't know. we have many things that make high temperature endorsed. and at before in the site, they have like cam water source around the site indicate from the tools the lift to it's also when you find some tools, they use the po, again like see. and this is indicate that they use it for planets, and it was good laden scorn, fly. there death the people of vasa lived, our farming and their livestock lance that they primarily grew legumes and we have

found conclusive proof that they found peas, the alps as a her animal protein was provided by sheep and goats and zones. the would do shop. we assume that the field stretched out towards valley arabic and were also located up here towards the east of the arabian plateau. pushed him while the r barr at the time this mount, the beginning of the vast stems which are now desert, or yet the calls and stepan unpinned. so the american side, or to boost ist population numbers increased rapidly. carbohydrates were now readily available, which was not the case for hunter gatherer societies. women were therefore able to give birth every 2 years, rather than every 4 to 5 years. but why would people choose to settle in such a constricted area?

that would have been a limited amount of land available for farming and access to water was as problematic then as it is now. for tyler z, even darlin, thus as up one of the advantages of this location is that it is quite remote law. in addition, at once, it was settled, there was little chance of territorial dispute, other than the people may have argued amongst themselves, overland life. but there was no outside threat. it's also muffin of a neat mammoth on the because space was limited. dwellings were built close together layer by layer, the work is advanced further into the past. some of the walls reach depths of around 4 meters, which suggests the buildings had at least 2 stories. ah,

the rooms are small and have little no daylight. the excavations confirm that they were largely use for food preparation and storage as yet, there is no indication of any part, so lanes between the buildings and the can. we can say with some confidence that the settlement was very densely constructed. wherever we dug, we uncovered wolves come along. it is increasingly clear that the little rooms be excavated and the initial phases were too small for people to live in the i'm of we therefore assume that much of the village is life to place on the roofs and in nature of indiana, to off that to one point as hunters and gatherers, small numbers of humans had spread out across bos territories. now hundreds lived close to.
