a story. i hope our findings will be used at the international criminal court. as i knew the need for russian forces. first started pummeling hardship with artillery and missiles, 9 months ago, killing and wounding civilians and damaging hospitals, schools, and homes. in the past few days, ukraine and officials say areas close to the city were hit again. the attacks destroying residential homes resists with your purchase fields and private houses. here. we don't even have a supermarket or a school school. i don't know why the attack, which way should open it to an exclusive neighborhood like his are not only at risk from massage from above. the remains on unexploded cluster bombs pose a major threat to a un report has found that both russia and ukraine have used them in the war with civilians called in the middle, paying the ultimate price. but it's turned out of some of the stories making news

right now. the turkish and russian presidents had a phone call to discuss strengthening the black sea grain deal. turkey's rights of type air to wand has been a go between and talked with global vladimir putin and ukraine's president float mirror zalinski. the agreement allows ukrainian grain exports, which russian attacks and a blockade stopped for months for cook. a muslim pakistan's military says heavy gunfire and shelley from afghanistan is killed. 6 civilians at the home on border crossing in the west of pakistan. the busy crossing used for trade in transit was closed for several hours. it was a scene of similar clashes last month. us in scottish authority, say the libyan man accused of making the bomb that blew up pan am flight one of 3 over lockerbie scotland in 1988 has been taken into custody. avalon mohammed masoud was charged by the us for the bombing 2 years ago. or 259 people aboard. that

flight from london to new york were killed. nasa's artemus won, a ryan capsule splashed down on the pacific ocean of the coast of mexico. it returned from a 25 day test flight around the moon. the vehicle hit earth's atmosphere at a mind bending 40 fell 804-0000 kilometers per hour. though this one was on crude nasa is aiming for missions with astronauts as soon as 2025. the artemus launch faced several delays about a month ago, but proceeded smoothly from there. the head of nasa bill nelson explained why this mission is important. the plan is to get ready to go with humans to mars late in the decade of the 20 thirty's, and then even further beyond. and we know from what we're finding from the james web space telescope, that it is a very,

very large universe out there. let's get more on this cosmic story from astro biologist, keith cowan. he's joining me now. very nice to see you, keith, on such an interesting day. what was massive looking at specifically in this final re entry phase of the capsule? well, you know, having worked there, there's 2 times during the mission that you get nervous, shall we say one is the watch. the other is if you're bringing something back when it comes back into the atmosphere. and so there were some nail biting and they did, they did exactly as they plan to do it. they came closer to the target than the you to. so all round it was the perfect day. that bad math fair and speaking of math, we have been here before the unit, the u. s. has sent astronauts to the moon before long before computers in the kind of technology we deal with to day. what is so challenging, given all this technology, all the advancements we've made in the,

in the decade since what so challenging about going back to the moon? well, you know, i remember those landings when i was in high school, so there's half a century between that me in this me. and if you look at what has happened in terms of what we could do in this world. now, you may have things that look similar to like, you know, the old volkswagens had that shape and then i would say, this capsule looks like the old ones, but it could do many things that you could not do with the apollo councils. it's less the most important thing. the 2nd thing is, the way we're going back to the moon. this time, we're not racing. the soviet union. we're going back and planned fashion that will go back again and again and again. not just america we, i keep getting asked about nasa's mission. yeah. had nasa's logo on it, but it had a european service module, has all kinds of experiments from all the world on it. and when we do go back to the moon, there's going to be americans and europeans, japanese, and canadians. what not all walking in the mood so that the challenges and the

differences are not just engineering, but also societal how and why we're doing this. hey, let's get into how and why are we doing this here on or if we have a climate crisis, we have warren ukraine. we've got inflation, we've got economic issues. there's so much that governments, not just the u. s. government governments around the world have to be doing to take care of their populations. why does this matter for ordinary people beyond just the inspiration aspect? well, again, i can just go back in time to the sixties and they said, you know, the different version of the same thing. you know, why are we doing this when, till the black and i, i would just fast forward a bit. and i mean, we're all excited here in the us that this is happening in canada and europe and so forth. but i would still the question back you wire was india spending billions of dollars to put her person in space wise china doings. why are with the new artemus accords which brings had several dozen nations said, why do you see sal and little countries are gonna and depaul flying satellites up? the space station is because of the technological advantage. it does give you,

it is inspirational. that is important. but also it's now something where space is now something to virtually any country in almost any high school and he were the world could do. so this is a natural thing that now we can say i will. what are we going to do? let's go back to the moon. we didn't finish what we need to do there. let's go back . all right, let's go back. indeed, astro biologist, keith cowan going where he's gone before, which is the w. it's going to see again my vision and back to more earthly pursuits football. not the world cup, but german women's buddhist legal, defending champions. it will burg have been in ramp and form this season. and they go into the winter break without dropping a single point. after a comp comfortable win over, men with knowing wings, a 9 games vo spook were riding high ahead of these fixture, and to early strikes from tabi of us moot insured their record would remain unblemished, unmarked by methods defend his own. 17 minutes she slid in at the back post to tap

home the opening. before making it to just 5 minutes later, with another clinical finish, post keep allowed as eager textbook route one football from both spoke after the break. things might have passed without further incident from epin. had it not been for this foul on vast mood inside the box, paulina prima stepped up to convert a 3rd goal wrapping up all 3 points for the defending bond is niga champions. who head into the winter break with that perfect record intact? and our mind of top story we are following for you. belgium police have charged 4 people reportedly including a vice president of the european parliament on suspicion of taking bribes from the world cup ost contact. the allegations have rocked the
