ah ah ah ah, this is dw slide from berlin. the world's biggest space rocket explode, the i'm truth space like starship lifts off from texas, but it fails. just minutes later the craft is designed to take humans back to the moon. one day to month. also coming up, dozens are dead and

a crush in yemen. victims were trying to get into a school in san up to collect charity handouts for ramadan. natal chief in stoughton back makes his 1st visit to ukraine since the russian invasion. he says key should be part of the alliance. ah, i'm glad offers. welcome to the program and we started the united states where the largest rocket ever to lift off the earth as exploded minutes after take off the giant. i'm crude rocket from space ex, successfully lifted off from it's a launch pad in brownsville, texas. but 3 minutes into the flight, the starship caps will fail to separating on the,

on the boost up the results and it's close event for the rockets 1st test flight. now let's brians of the car bonnie from d w science ortho. throw brief if there's a success or failure and it's a bit of both, really, it's a success because they got off the ground the mean couple of days ago. they didn't even do that. so it is quite a feat if you recall at the start of this week couple of days ago and i'm mosque said look, if we just, i will be happy if i managed to you or we managed to not to blow up the launch site . so they did that, but yeah, this is a crucial thing. went wrong, be the actual space, cra, star, ship carrier, $200.00 people, congo, and whatever else failed to separate. that's what we hearing here. all in the words of whoever's writing this place it twitter feed or just experienced a rapid unscheduled. this is

a way to put it in a mask. it himself the c o space access, but the chances of success at $5050.00. why? it's all because it's so difficult to bring this big a rocketed space. well, the 1st reason is it's, it's the 1st of its kind metty to this absolute be huge. this thing is a 120 meters. all together, the rock here plus the spacecraft. 120 meters tall. i'm 50 meters is just the actual space craft the bit for people, et cetera. 70 me to simple 69 to 70 meters for the rocket. 9 meters in diameter. i mean, think about trying to work out that pace around the room. you're in right now and, and try to work at how big that is or how long it would take you to run a 100 meters dash. it's a huge thing, but it's also really difficult because what they're testing here are reusable bits

. so moving away from space x is falcon 9, which is partially reusable, to a fully reusable launch vehicle that get people into space. and then back again. i mean, this is when, if this works out, you know, this thing will be able to all bits of the moon be able to review in orbit um, will be able to, in fact, what they're saying may point to point trips on earth. so you can go anywhere on the planet with them. and i mean, that is just phenomenal. you think about it, but the technology that to go into that, the engineering that has to go into that and all the risks. and just bearing in mind, you know, getting stuff off the ground on any normal day. it's difficult. $5050.00 is a pretty young, generous, i would say sort of a proposition. well, it sounds very, very ambitious. what you just described there. but nasa and space act. so their long term goal is to send humans to mars. what's the timeline for that?

well, let's roll it back a little bit to the boat house in a sense. the 1st object is the moon and trying for what me, you know, nasa has its own space launch system rocket is smaller than this one and starship and they want to send a crude mission to the moon by 2025. so in a couple of years time, you know, if you think about other things that european space agency, it's heaviest, largest rock area and 6 been delayed once again, getting to the moon. crikey, i wouldn't want to put a number on that at all. if you know l mask, you might have some desires to say, i don't know by the end of this decade, that'd be sort of the way, you know, we worked in the apollo era in the sixty's. we want to do it within the decade. that's sort of foreseeable, but you know, hey, we've been trying this so long and they've been so many gaps along the way. so many

upheavals, don't forget the world is an economic crisis. you're really having to weigh are what are the priorities here? so i wouldn't want to put a date on that, but sometime at some point people will try to get there, but probably not in my lifetime. so i, even if that happened in my life time gap, i wouldn't care. i mean, i don't want to go to mass, it's cold out there. yeah, i mean i, again, i want to put my number and i think the 1st, the 1st the most difficult thing is that she just getting an, an cruet craft to mars and bringing it back. that is really, that's difficult enough and there are missions on the way to do that. just to bring bits of rock bits of dust back from mars. that's tough enough. so people, that's just a, that's a really tall order. and what we think is being pre, actually quite fantastic, different piece of got on now from an hour ago. but it's been pretty phenomenal

actually, you know, can't help the feel been excited. so the tougher face on the show. thank you very much. so because the honey that it would be w, thank you. at is 78. people have been killed and hundreds more injured in a crash in yemen. tragedy unfolded as a crowd gathered in the capital santa to collect financial aid during the muslim holy month of ramadan. this report contains images that some viewers may find distressing. desperately trying to free themselves, a security guard shouted at the crowd to turn back. others attempted to pull people from the mass of bodies. c but for many who had come in the hopes of receiving 5000 year many rails or about h u. s. dollars. it was already too late.

dozens of injured people were taken to local hospitals. as were the bodies of the dead? ah, a one a little jimmy, a la betty, him in total. there were 78 people that were killed yellow and my salad that the hospital has brought in 73 injured mom and some seriously injured and so much less critical condition all to be melted. bowden, what elaine will associate, there are 2 patients in intensive care study and 13 others are in need of surgery. yet should i was of the sol, almost cantavon officials from the who t rebel group which controls santa were quick to visit the injured moneisha. mazda . we're experiencing a great tragedy of a large number of our people have died during the stampede to have the layla nathangelo. the officials also visited the scene of the stampede,

where investigators already looking into the coals is of the tragedy. some eye witness reports indicate that the crowd may have panicked due to gunfire. it's yet another bitter blow for yamini is already suffering from more than 8 years of war and a devastating humanitarian crisis. all the journalist nurses shockers in santa and he says, gunfire may indeed have caused this panic. of course, this is one of their you arises, okay, that according to a bill, i was mrs. they said the gun via came after the corral and the security of rush to this. yeah, try to discourage people because as you already said, new through diction that the blue where i mean the entrance to the school going to people were gathering is a minor is through the main street. ok. so hundreds of people were in. this is 3, and the main gate of the school is astir ok. human to work for 2 years or one with

an ha. so the people in the video, you can see peebles denman of the do the, we're saying it will take some steps, you know, we can open the main gate. so when the people opened the main gate that people rush, but worse, and this is what comes the i, d, is time the nato secretary general. yes, stoughton bark has made his 1st visit to ukraine since the russian invasion, stokes said the crank should be part of nato. he also discuss bringing ukraine's military into line with nato. stand it with president, president of all of them. is the lensky soap buck also a disrespect to ukrainian soldiers killed in the 14 months long hold? let's go to w as in manuel shaws in the key of a surprise visit that. is it

a more than symbolic? hello? well yes, it is more than symbolic and it was much anticipated if anatomy zalinski had invited again, stilton barber at natives or general secretary here in here for over a year now. and a fact that stoughton berg was here this morning. the fact that he paid his respect to a full and sold is the fact that he spends a some time to talk to as the lensky about ukraine's or candidacy to nato. this is heidi is significant here in ukraine. you know, especially given the fact that ukraine a possibly a joining nato was one of the arguments used by letting me put in to launch it's a full scale invasion against ukraine and perhaps more significant the even is, was chilton beg, fed her to day when he said that ukraine's rightful place,

ease in the euro, atlantic family, ukraine's right rightful place is in, at nato, and other positions of nato remain unchanged when it comes to her to the support. and he reiterated that from his point of view, where to ukraine will become a member of the alliance. he said that the support was a firm and doubt. this would be a support from nato towards you credit for as long as it's needed, as long as it takes, or for ukraine or to a wind is war. now, other than that, or did we hear any concrete pledges off of support from salt burger? well, a yell shoulder bag said dad, he was expecting new announcements being made especially to morrow during the hammerstein at a meeting in terms of pledges for more military support from ukraine. sir elias here. so reminded her how much nato already provided when it comes to training

ukraine and sold is, for example, of tens of thousands of ukrainian soldiers have been trained at e, nato, or facilities by a nato are also a allies are in need. so n members stay and nato member stays, are providing tongues. they're providing heavy weaponry. armored vehicles are all dark. and since the beginning of the full scale invasion, we're talking about equipment and that amounts to over $70000000000.00 plus a d, a. d, a weapons that might be pledge to morrow in the ramstein or format. so there's that, and of course, are short and beggars so, reiterated his invitation or to the nato summit in vilnius is july to president the lady, me as a lensky zaleski. hold. thank for this invitation, but he is. he is also as standing firm in that he wants to see ukraine invited into nato and not just good intentions and not just at invitations being forwarded all

shows they're reporting from keith. thank you very much. nato members and partners are testing their cyber defense systems and a 4 day exercise in estonia, teams from 38 nations will try to protect computers from attacks and simulate decision making in critical situations. nato says cyber defense has become more important since the invasion of ukraine speed, strategy, and skill. that's what matters in war games. whether they take place on the ground in real life forests on line, as they do in lot shields. the international cyber war exercise. some 3000 people from 38 countries to taking part and most of them are online. the goal will bring the at different nations like minded nations, do ever deal with event capabilities and also to develop knowledge about each each other and trust or to watch each other. the participants here in blue are the

victims of several large scale cyber attacks. those in green, at the attacking team, the blues must defend their infrastructure, energy supply, financial industry, and national borders. the stability of an entire nation all be at a fictional one for the purposes of this exercise is at stake. the scenario includes proper gander attacks to, to it's what's called hybrid warfare, where both the attackers, andy attacked, constantly look for new ways to attack or defend themselves. it's just like what's going on right now in russia's war against ukraine. traditionally military's focus only their own systems, they need to be available to direct the warfare effort, et cetera, et cetera. on our same time, we see her with war in ukraine. ah,

the adversary's trying to destroy the electricity, civil and infrastructure on. so actually, what is under attack ever seen? and that includes the media in a huge propaganda wool. right from the start, it was clear that the war in ukraine was also being waged in the media as this effort produced by ukraine shoes. it's about the so called i t army, blocking russian propaganda and dis information. it's a measure that other baltic states have also taken on the right after the war started. it's no accident that lock shields is coordinated from talon in estonia. that's where nato cyber defense center is located. a central office of the western military alliance and its partners, the digital security. the estonian state had to defend itself against several serious cyber attacks back in 2007. and it's been taking the su seriously, ever since. wow,

well up to know it works pretty well. a sonya is going to continuously under heavy attack or from my russia and the other source is potentially, but we hardly notice it because our defense is all very good. and that's how it should be for all nato countries. if the lot shields organizes have anything to do with it. now let's learn a bit more about cyber worth a warfare rather from to meet with our pillow. jesus, chairman of the silver are silverado policy accelerator. it's a think tank in washington dc. welcome to dw news. dmitri, to what extent does cyber warfare play a role in the war and ukraine right now? as well as soon, because we're seeing the russians use cyber warfare quite extensively in ukraine. probably the most significant cyber attack we've ever had in history in the context . the warfare was undertaken by the russians in the 1st day of the war when they

attacked actually not a ukrainian system, but an american company called via sat that provided satellite communications services to ukraine. and had an effect in combination with other techniques that the russians were use into john radio communications and the like really blind the ukrainians and those initial critical hours of the conflict. and probably assisted the russians in the dramatic success. they pad and that 1st 48 hours and taking a big chunk of the country, particularly the south region where they made a lot of progress right away. and even in key, if we're able to get almost to the outskirts of kiya, then of course the koreans bought back in part because of star length of communication system from the la musk they were able to re establish communications and, and turn the tide against the russians, but what the russians have not been able to do is really achieve any sort of strategic success after that, despite the fact that they're launching all these attacks against ukrainian that works. ukrainians are quite resilient. the bring them back back up quickly and are

able to work around it now and which areas are affected the most military or civilian infrastructure? really, both the civilian infrastructure has been palm all their energy sector, the financial sector, their media are under just constant assault in cyber space, with the so called wiper malware. a capabilities where they destroy date on, on your machines with denial of service attacks where they flood your websites and networks with traffic or while you. so that is ongoing. on the military side, they've been really focused on gaining intelligence in cyberspace, gain access to sensitive military systems. a lot of ukrainian systems are actually connected to the internet because they wanna have every soldier in the military get intelligence in real time, be able to submit information on russian troop movements and the like. and for that need access to the internet need access to the systems, but it also makes them more vulnerable for russian penetration. but the public is

hardly noticing this, right? that's right. i mean, the public in ukraine is certainly notice in it. but when you put in the context of daily kinetic strikes, the missile strikes this kamikaze. drones strikes from iran going after critical infrastructure going after civilian buildings and causing numerous casualties. you hardly worry about your website been down for a few hours. so that is the context in which we have to look at it. it doesn't mean that cyber is an effective overall and warfare. what it means is that the russians have not been able to integrate cyber with their overall combined arms efforts with their ground troop movements with their artillery, with their air strikes for maximum fact, because that's really how you achieve successes in cyber not using as a standalone tool, but using a combination with all of your other capabilities and they've just not had any success doing that, not just in cyberspace, but we're, as we're seen on the ground as well. now

a one thing i would like to raise that everybody is talking about a i these days. how big a role will artificial intelligence play in this kind of warfare in the future? well i think ai is really going to change every aspect of our lives and cyber is no exception. i think both on cyber offense and cyber defense, it's going to play significant role. i think we're a number of years away from that. but the way that you can think about it is that it's going to automate so many things that you currently do in cyberspace. from an attacker perspective, it may help help attackers find vulnerabilities in our software that they can then exploit to lunch many more attacks going forward. but on the other hand it's, it's always a cat, mouse game, and cyberspace. so defense as well is going to be able to use the same technology to try to identify those were abilities and close them up. so it's always going to be a race who is going to get there 1st was going to be faster. thank you very much cyber security unless dimitri, i've heard of it. thanks

a lot for sharing your expertise with us. thank you. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. moscow's bolshoi theater has dropped a ballet about the legendary russian dancer rudolph maria general director vladimir wound says the decision is linked to a government ban on so called l. g. b t. propaganda show has not been performed at the bolshoi since 2018 and paris. hundreds of protesters of storm the offices of stock market operator urinate, st. they want big companies to help finance pensions. france has been rocked by violent protests against plants to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. in cuba, the parliament has re elected president miguel diaz canal for a 2nd 5 year term. the communist party leader one nearly every vote in the
