have been cancelled it. tara government has rejected accusations of bribery insisting it worked solely within the framework of international law. you have your correspond jack. patrick has been following the story from brussels. he told us how the corruption charges have shaken the european parliament this week session of the european parliament and stroudsburg is going to be a major one in this context of these 4 people having being charged for corruption, money laundering, an participation in a criminal organization. and they include, according to belgium, media reports widely, that is the vice president of the european parliament now removed from that position by the parliament, eva kylie, a greek socialist m e p. and another number of her connections, including her life partner, a former italian, m e p, in another head of an n g o, as well. the human rights n g o base to hear him in brussels. the question is exactly how deep this goes as

a lot of public information showing sort of gleaming votes, where the gleaming speeches, sorry, we're a highly spool spoke very much in favor of the category government and what they're doing regarding labor laws. your so was in attendance at a vote in a legal affairs committee that she actually doesn't sit on, but she actively went to vote in favor of liberalizing the visa process for these connections. and that 600000 euros in cash. that was fine by police on thursday friday night is going to be a real indicator real part of the evidence that goes forward. not the belgian authorities are being very tight lipped about this, that not really naming people than not expanding too much on the charges. and that's obviously because investigations are going to be going probably for some time turn to ukraine now. and in her keys, ukrainian investigators are gathering the remains of russian weapons used against civilians. they help their work can support bringing war crimes cases to court.

it's a different kind of graveyard. a thick layer of snow covers these pieces of metal laid out next to each other. many responsible for lives lost in the conflict of sober illustration of the intensity of moscow's attack on the city of hark. if since the beginning of the war, ukrainian investigators are collecting every fragment as evidence, they suspect russian troops used cluster bombs against civilians and are building a case to take to the top war crimes prosecutor. is a story i hope our findings will be used at the international criminal court. january neither rush and 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, horse warned school. i don't know why the attack, which way should look new to inclusive neighborhoods, like hairs are not only at risk from missiles, 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. chinese authorities, relenting on some of their strictest pandemic measures, is a relief to many people in the country, especially business owners, after living so long under the harsh restrictions of china's so called 0 coverage policy. the worry now turns to coping with a potential surgeon coven, 19 cases. up to 3 years of stringent cove, at 19 restrictions chinese resident a re discovering the freedom. but the businesses in the city of chung do

a returned to pre pandemic levels of customers. still a long way off and on. it's really tough, really tough. we can't do business this great anymore. now that things have opened up and it also means the positive covered cases are all out when no one comes to the restaurant. dashing is still adjusting to there's a sense of cautiousness here. people in the capitol getting used to the new rules which include being able to quarantine at home. and i think everyone in be doing is going to be infected eventually. it's only a matter of time on her, on the test become a common thing. know if you infected good treatment, if you are not infected, just carry on with your life that widespread priorities pushed china's government to finally let go of it. 0 cove policy. now, having spent years stressing the health risks of the corona, virus, or authorities are trying to reassure people this interview on chinese state tv,

nasa is aiming for missions with astronauts as soon as 2025 to think america's new ticket to ride to the moon and back pair shooting into the pacific. ryan nasa's capsule, a ryan makes it slashed down or of nasa journey to la moon, comes to a close. oh ryan. back on earth, 3 weeks ago or ryan was blasted off to the moon carrying mannequins susan as part of a test run called our to miss one. we, the data that's retrieved from a ryan will help unlock the new era of space exploration a by. and i don't think any one of us could have imagined the mission, the successful. but we had a very successful flight test. we now have a foundational deep space transportation system. and while we haven't looked at all the data that we've acquired, we will do that over the coming days and weeks to a u. s. military helicopters and

a group of boats approach to capsule after it's splashed down after it's been inspected, it will be transported to san diego, california. it in these missions and nasa is planning to follow up with our to miss to in 2024 therapy historic mission that will take humans back to the moon for the 1st time in half a century. ultimately, nasa says it's plan is to establish a permanent base on the moon. and from there, the launch mission to mars the plan is to get ready to go with humans to mars late in the decade of the 2000 and 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. 50 years after the iconic apollo 70 mission. nasa is one step closer to setting up camp on the moon.

earlier i spoke to astro biologist, keith calling and began asking him, what knowledge and data that's a hopes to gain from this mission. 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 it was a male body and of they did, they did exactly as they planned to do it. they came closer to the target than they needed to. so all round it was the perfect day that bad math there. and speaking of math, we have been here before the u. s. has sent astronauts to the moon before long before computers and the kind of technology we deal with today. 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 to 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 yet. 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 of 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 careless canada. how and why are we doing this here on earth? we have a climate crisis. we have warren ukraine. we've got inflation of 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. what is india spending billions of dollars to put a person in space wise try to doing this? why are with the new artemus accords which brings had several dozen nations and why do you see cell and little countries like gonna and depaul flying satellite talk a 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 that virtually any country in almost any high school and he were the

world to do. so, this is a natural thing that now we can say, well, 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 dw, it's going to see again. but now it can't fly to the moon, but the piloted wind powered craft harness cool as a need for speed on dry land. the indigenous name of the new zealand built machine means gliding swiftly across the land. and that is, as you can see, it right here. exactly what it did at length gardener in south australia. breaking a new world, land speed record for crafts of it's kind. hitting 222.4 kilometers an hour. but that's not good enough for the crew who say they want me to go even faster. i don't speed away from us just yet, because up next we have world stories,

including a look at 2 scientists from southern africa who discover that alma cron variant of coven 19 better and then international wards. but also online abuse is coming up. next will stories will have more future shop the hour. i am william blue cross. good, happy with every journey is full of surprises. we've gone all out with.
