a vital evidence about the origin of the solar system. billions of years ago. and the opiates, tickets, c, thoughts, that's a new women's merits and world report care in berlin. the on pablo finally as welcome to the program. refugees from new core. no kyra back have been crossing in the border into armenia. fears have been growing for ethnic armenians living in the disputed region since azerbaijan launched and offensive to retake control. thousands of civilians are without food or shelter. badly needed humanitarian aid is starting to reach people trapped in the on the life. the smoke rises always define the guard, no, quite a box regional capital. it is

a city and feel fox and nearly deserted as people hide or flee. sponsored by john says the demilitarized vision of debris creation is underway, vc, these weapons was seized from the separate tests. this is a close corporation in close corporation with the washing peacekeepers to conduct the militarization. also, ministers, ition, and also support the city. this rich doors that needs are meaning the porter de strongly disagree at the un, the one the other by johnny violations that they see automatic suspension stretch for economic armenians. dash the international community shoot down to take all the efforts for an immediate deployment or from the interagency mission, by the united nations to not going to come up with the to monitor and access the human rights mindset in the security situation on the ground. some aid has begun to

arrive. the forest red cross going more to enter the enclave since the latest fighting began. bring some 70 tons of food and medicine. the organization says it was able to evacuate some wounded. armenians. hundreds have sought shelter, destruction, peacekeeping bass. the despite, i'm go as moscow as they say it's peacekeepers did nothing to stop the author by johnny on slot. i'm not going to explain. we're not going to stay here now as displaced. armenians do not see a future in the garden o'connor boss anymore. his whole name, the good cool name, but all we want to as far as our by john to give a safe passage a day in advance to leave our whole month, we entered but heads up by some of those for us me. so one be realized,

the armenian leadership of the region now says that most of the 120000 carter block our maintenance will draw the leave. the historic lands then live on the us or by john he, a party. ukraine's military says it has broken through russian lines in the south eastern separation region. ukrainian troops advanced through a russian defense of fronts near the village of for both. the extent of keeps gains is still unclear as moscow's forces of heavily fortified. the area ukraine's came for offensive has been slowed by russian mine fields and antique tank obstacles. meanwhile, there's heavy fighting around the city of back moved in eastern ukraine. here to the counter offensive has been slow, but come under say, it's tying up russian forces pounding the russians again of western supply, dots, hillary like this. how it is vital to ukraine's counter offensive. he around

russian occupied box moved. it's being slow going all the keys captured key villages south of the city. last week. ukrainian gun crews say the shells, making life miserable for the russians to do the evaluation. they hate our hardware and that's what we gather from the intercepts that we had and, and we hear that we're giving them how and it keep wondering how much munition we've got left see fairly quickly. but of course you so that i mean ition, ukraine is reliant on its allies with key inspiring shells foster, then they can be supplied but not to eat cranes. equipment comes from its friends. it's also captured hundreds of russian tanks like this one throughout the whole britain estimates molden haul for the cranes. alma has been seized from its attack is and that's including molten tanks. postal pile and other things were in service

with the russian army after 2014 or at work or when a bees. so if i'm rushing, tangled, they're quite new. god sees go for that. i'd say. when the russian falls is dug in deeply on the front lines, key bus had little success punching through with it's on a one. so now at least the slow attrition of artillery fire continues to dominate the battlefield. let's bring in military expert noreen, i'm a ron from kings college london for more welcome to dw news. so russian forces are entrenched on the front lines around passcode. is it possible for ukraine to retake more territory around the city? a good evening? well, the problem that you praying has had they have been trying to circle back more to ever since mid july when general service, you said that it was particularly important to ensure that the russians are

encircled and severe. is there a supply lines and there are logistics to book mood because who can be used as a spring board for attacks and prevents can cremmit doors. as of recently, we have seen some defensive the brain forces taken under. you've got an appreciative code which are on the heights so they can explore that. you over a few right now. that being said, we're seeing heated fights for buck moved, but the russian forces remain in trans there and they have more man power and artillery superiority. so it will be a hard fight. that being said, the russians will remain pinned down there, which might relief pressure on regions such as co council for the ukrainian forces . cold weather is going to be returning pretty soon. how will that affect the armies continued fighting in the east as well?

it will be problematic as both we'll have to switch to winter time, both the russians and the ukrainians. and the special is the time which is about to start now will complicate to logistics, meaning that the ukrainians and the russians as well, will not be able to use mechanized infantry in certain regions where there is a lot of money. because in the vehicles, what gets talk and as a problem is a sole demand power and sustaining the troops and in the cold glasser which will increase the logistical footprint. and of course, both countries of suffering when it comes to recruitment and when bill is ation. so that might also affect their ability to conduct defensive operations, especially for the ukranian side as they are on the offensive right now. let's take a look at the southern front. how would you rate the advances that to ukraine an army has made their well, it has been slow and

a lot. it has been expected from the korean on mean face of russians, an actual long defense systems as they build the ends up or reach you. it has been slow, but steady. it remains to be seen. the houses will evolve if those tactical gains can be capitalized on next to the village of vegetable there. because ukrainian commanders did admit that it will still be alone. fight getting to the village because of the russian of tillery and russian drains. on the one hand, on the other hand, the important the aim would be to take talk, smack um. so says that ukrainian side, so for operational success, they would have to at least get to talk mac, which is some sort of kilometer is a way which is a long way given the fact that those events defenses are intro, leased. so we are waiting to see what will happen there. no, no, no advances. as of now, a ministry expert to marina mirand from kings commented on the thank you. thank you

. after 7 long years and space, a nasa pro carrying asteroid samples has returned to earth to the jubilation of mission controllers. the cops who landed in the us state of utah carrying rock and dust from an asteroid. cold brand new scientists say it is bringing back the largest asteroid samples so far collected. they hope it will offer a glimpse into our solar systems earliest history. well joining us now, it's keith cowan, he's a former nasa employee. i'm the editor of space raf dot com in washington dc. good to see you again keith. so scientists expect the samples to cast light on the earliest history of our solar system. so what kind of analysis will be performed on the samples right now as we speak, you've got a group of um, yes, the engineers that are walking up to the spacecraft and if you watch star trek,

you'd say so in a way team and they have my german, correct? as a how scripts team, where they they go to the place and they study it. what they're now going to do is to say the caps is fine, is put it into some containers, take it by and how it talk to a cult up to a lab. but it is a special container with nitrogen just to make sure that when they finally open it, what's inside is from the asteroid dock from one of the guys you know, picked it up. can you expect the samples to change how we understand the solar system? of course, and i should say that my at my age i'm 68. when i grew up they said asteroids where rocks and comments were snowballs. and that was like, as far as we were now, we've discovered that they're all overlapping with each other. venue is a bit like a comment, but they have all these organic substances on the surface and in the rocks. and that's where you, when i came from and also is a lot of water there,

which means that this passed away was part of something bigger because these minerals all we form when you have a large body. and the question is where our oceans come from. so, by studying this asteroid, we could learn a whole litany of things. it is a biologist myself. i'm more interested in the chemistry, but the geologists will be able to see how this little piece of something that was bigger that got broken up billions of years ago. became what it is now and how perhaps perhaps we are derived from that whole process. tell us how good the findings and alter our approach then to space exploration. we'll get back to my use where you thought, well, maybe life was rear and when the roof is the only place where it seems to be happening. if you see these chemicals, these organic chemicals, the precursors for the dna and proteins and other molecules that make us up in life on her. and you're now finding them almost everywhere you want a little bodies or big ones. you got to sit back and say, well, you know, the chances that they all came together again for now, the location is now quite,

are higher than oh, by the way, all those thousands of plants we've discovered operating of the star that are in many ways like ours, the ones that are sources like so for me, the chances of life is out there just don't get bigger every time we do something like that somewhere else that could this mission bring us closer to mining asteroids? and if so, could you explain to us how that would work as well? there's more than one kind of asteroid. this is a carpet issues condra, right, which is a mixture, rock and ice and i'll give you a technical term to all the chemicals. but there were there, some of them are more stony with less water and some are made out of a lot of metal. so it's, you know, where you mining, are you digging up? cool. are you digging a block site to make aluminum or there's a difference, but there's not only the interest in mining here. it's also like this asteroid is coming close to earth. won't hit the spacecraft, the dropped off the container is now going on to another asteroid. alpha apos up

office which will come very, very close. 20000 miles 30. something 1000 kilometers from earth in 2029 and it poses a risk. so if you want to do the hollywood thing, like blowing it up or moving, you need to know what these things are made up. so this is more than one reason to want to know what these rocks are made of. fascinating stuff case he's coming editor of space ref dotcom in washington dc. if he is to just see for has smashed the women samaritan world record here in berlin with a time of 2 hours, 11 minutes and 53 seconds. take us to see foot knocked over 2 minutes of the previous record to make sporting history. b, 29 year old, one. the rates last year in a personal best was almost 4 minutes quicker. this time arrived. if you're watching data, we can use life from berlin. here's a reminder of our top story. armenia is urging the united nations to send

a mission to nicole know car box to monitor the safety of academic armenians. their 1st aid convoys have not reached civilians prompt. indeed, disputed regions and that's all for an hour. next day's sports life after a short break. i'll be back again at the top of the next hour until then take care of the every jenny is surprising. we've gone all out to give you some of the right people in your northern most count the police the free time.
