will surface but i didn't like the idea of getting such an old fashioned job as being stuck with dreams coming through, making money, having a sun when not falls and so i'm seeing stuff. december 13th on d, w. the this is the w news live from the ukraine, renews calls for full and they to membership. he says it is the only security guarantee that could make a difference in the face of russian aggression. but nato foreign ministers missing and brussels. still not saying yes. also coming up on the program is with miss rebels. ted, i'm a statue of the brother of syria. is president of charlotte side. does they continue their ids on it's in the countries northwest syrian all me forces are expected to launch accounts for a time the

on monday, because it's mckinney and welcome to the program. nato secretary general, not cool to has a member states to step up that military support for ukraine is cool. comes off the ukraine once again pushed for progress on joining the alliance. so far in minnesota is amazing to discuss continued support for the keys and its defense against moscow . presidents a lot of means, lensky suggested that he could agree to the c side with russia. if nato extends its protection to the parts of the country controlled by keep a service i saw decline to say when or how it will all the ukraine membership that say the concerns that the with russia could escalate into a conflict involving the alliance multiple to has want to the next few months of will will be decisive. to put a name is entering

a nother crucial range and specialist regression shows no sign of basic. just the opposite. booting is ramping up his rhetoric and reckless actions. he is using ukraine as a testing ground for expert mental mishaps, and is deploying north between soldiers in this illegal work, boots and is not interested in peace. he's pressing on trying to take more tactic, because he thinks he can break through grange results and hours. but he's wrong to grade his rights to defend itself, and we have a duty to help them. so we need to continue our step 5 support. he believes brussels bureau chief alexandra from them and told me more about monica, which has comments on possible membership. so what's my clue to have a to say here? head date was a pretty much in line with the official position of the alliance. he's tress to

that ukraine is on its past towards becoming a member. and he emphasized that this pos is you reversible, but he also made clear there will be no immediate decision. so there is nothing can you to see there is so to speak. he instead focus on what he thinks is very important right now. namely, to provide to clean with everything they need with weapons, military equipments with i'm a nation to strength and keeps position include 10 showing language stations with who didn't because of course everyone to hear key on stabs a some talks may take place at some point in the future, so this is good for cruise off the nato secretary general to strengthen key of position 10. so talk. but it will be no decision about the membership

of ukraine and invitation to membership. that is as not secure because the members of the alliance are still not on the same page when it comes to that, some of them would be in favor of extending such an invitation to ukraine. others, a warning staff, as long as you queen, is at war with russia, that such an invitation cannot be extended because they fear the dead could attract the alliance into the conflict. and there's been a lot of talk about making nato trump proof hasn't. now what a native member is doing to prepare for the next trump presidency, which will start in january, will they have a job? so it's a couple of measures. for instance, a need to is about to set up a new command in the spot and enjoy anita. and this is meant as for nato to be able to take

a more coordinating role when it comes to military age to ukraine. and when it comes to the training of the ukrainian soldiers and district of g here seems to be a strategy that is also adopted by the nato secretary general to convince president elect donald trump notes, to disengage from nato to convince him that he rubs secuity is crucial for the us, even as is about to shift is a is for it's for cruise to the in the pacific and ma clue tests talked about this today. doing kids press conference. he's sad to that. when we look at ad said the presence of north korean soldiers in russia, when we consider that iran is providing commercial with ms tiles and drones. and when we also consider that chinese companies are producing a tech to loans for russia. and then of course, the conclusion is that what is happening in europe could have consequences for

other areas. if this is a kind of a conflict in there with the global nature. and that is why and his conclusion is, of course, important for the us to stay engaged in nato and of course, to continue their support for ukraine alexandria. thank you so much for bringing us up today. so that's the don't use brussels if you're a chief alexander from nom and reporting that let's take a look now, some of the of the story is making headlines around the world today. and georgia is top court has rejected a challenge to the countries october elections. the country's outgoing president filed the lawsuit, seeking to have the parliamentary vote declared unconstitutional. the ruling comes officer fisk nicest protests boxed by the government's decision to pause accession folks with the european union. and they to cable connecting sweden and finland has been damaged near helsinki, affecting thousands of internet customers. initial reports of the 2 breaches spots

alarm in the wake of the recent severing of baltic c, communication cables. but the data infrastructure provided global connect said one break was from excavation, walk, and finish. police say there's no evidence that either disruption was deliberate on a meeting between the british and greek prime ministers as raising hopes that missing parts of the pulse. and on 2500 year old frees can be returned home to athens, taken from the monuments in the 1800s. the mobile sculptures have spent 2 centuries in the british museum in london, talks between the museum and greek officials to repack trait them next year. are reportedly well now positioned activists and serious se in such and so pushing ahead with their offensive against the government forces, capturing several new towns and closing in on the city of hama,

state troops say they've retaken some territory. last and last week, surprise attack, in which a left who was also seized by an alliance of rebel groups. united nation says nearly 50000 people have been displaced by the lights of slicing. in a sign of distain for the regime of sculpture of president bashar ellison's lead brother is toppled by protesters and elect boat. syria is 2nd largest city and several surrounding areas are now under rebel control. after a surprise offensive land by the islamist revel group higher terrier alshaun or h t s, as well as opposition fighters backed by turkey. this footage filmed by the militants shows them entering was believed to be president assad. tell us in a level and insurgents were also seen at the cities international airport, which they claimed to have seized with almost no opposition from government forces . as, as rebel groups intensified the result,

thousands of civilians are fleeing the fighting in a level and other areas in the north. getting to safety is a challenge. my thought is he had the number to call me, but you don't know who anybody is. you might find isis selves on the road. there could be shooting because the syrian army are no longer deployed here. these are the risks we may face. the syrian army is trying to break the insurgents momentum with support from russian war plains and its allies among iran, back militias, bank with a run in moscow mired and their own conflicts. president assad may not be able to depend on as much support from them as he would like my colleague, i guess, yeah, honda screw up in alaska and has reported extensively for us on the syrian crisis. thanks so much coming to the studio garcia. can you explain to us, 1st of all, the significance of the rebels moves now towards hum. so how has

a great strategic importance for the syrian government and the rebels who want to oust the regime? know that very well. so they're bringing in reinforcements now. and the regime is also send its own reinforcements. the updates are that they're fighting and still fierce rebels have captured now some parts in the north, just north of how my city. but it's, it's bound to be a fierce fight because how much has a strategic significance? like i said? so it leads damascus to the syrian coast. so latasha where the government's lawyer list space is and the russian port and the russian air base . and that part of syria, so it's crucial if the region once reinforcements, and also it creates a kind of buffer for the opposition from the government. so of course,

they're gonna fight hard in order to not lose this, okay? so this is the strategic positive sufficing, but let's talk about the people who are being affected, who is essentially taking care of the 10s of thousands of syrians who are now being forced to leave this balance. it's really difficult at the moment for civilians because even though there is support for certain groups, it's not enough, it's nowhere near enough. it's. there's shortages of everything there, shortages of people there, shortages of food. there's no facilities on the way. and on top of that, things are moving so fast. so if in evacuation road was deemed safe, when people embarked on that journey, it might've changed. by the time they get to certain point. so things are still dangerous. some groups of manage now to evacuated, but there's also been civilian casualties from evacuated. for example, there were several kurdish civilians who were killed on the way as well as

a syrian armenian doctor, was shot and could not make it on time to the hospital. so it's a dangerous situation, given the risk involved as some people saying, it might be safer to stay rather than go. it's hard to make that decision right now because there's a lot of of fears with extra mist coming in. are they going to be safe? there's been reassurance is bought a lot of people because of the history of these extra mas groups have been accused of committing atrocities. especially, you know, for women and minorities. this might not be safe auction. now kurtz has opened up a displacement camp in the kurdish controlled part of syria and the northeast. they've said that they're ready now to receive a $120000.00. but that's just going to be the 1st wave they expect from northern aleppo because there's half a 1000000 kurtz there. and they don't feel safe, especially because there's the turkish fact fighters who have been tearing down

symbols of the kurdish opposition. okay, if we can talk about this new rebel alliance for a moment, is that any chance that will but this alliance has a, has a chunk of forming a functional government in syria? it's difficult to say there's many questions now, how an extra ms group that is partly it's a coalition of multiple groups. but one faction of this coalition is designated at air group by the us. so how the international community could recognize a group like this is difficult to say, but the serious government is also under sanctions and there's already many challenges. so some people are optimistic that there could be a way. but right now it's looking very difficult, especially because several of these groups like the kurds and the turkish back rebels have their own conflicts and also minorities don't know how they could fit

in if there was no more like of a secular society and steering yeah, extremely complicated situation, the w is garcia or honda. thank you so much for bringing us up to date the all right, we've just about got enough time to catch you up on some of the stories making news today and also receives and 11 on say at least 9 people have been killed and is really strikes on to southern villages, it is the worst attack since the cx 5 with has blocked, took effect last week. these radios, he says it targets had rocket launches on terrorist infrastructure in response to cease 5 violations by hezbollah. and a course in vietnam is upheld the death penalty in the country's largest ford case . real estate type control on my line of appeal to april conviction, which held her responsible for embezzlement and bribery and a thankful scheme. the higher execution could be replaced with a less of penalty if she were pays about $11000000000.00 with

that you up to date. but these se tunes coming up next is all science shows, tomorrow today, and i will be back out the top of the hour. international headlines, thanks so much for watching dw, the . 2 2 2 2 the . 2 the. 2 the. 2 the

up to now astronaut, some probes have brought nearly 400 kilograms of means. welcome back to us. where on the moon did they come from? and tell us they changed how we view our closest celeste steel neighbors. the morning is to the moon, is a history book that allows us to look far back into the passcode. could this some post from china is 2020 full moon mission to throw out new mysteries? it's my guns here. the moon is still good for a surprise or 2. we know a little scientist, appetites have been wedded, but lunar research still has a long way to go. no, mister flushed the girl july 1969 apollo astronauts set off from the 1st mission to land

on the moon, the destination and luna plane on the side of it but faces us good rate or data. there was no way to practice a landing with the spacecraft. touch down safely or sink deep into dust and tip of the of lamp and the amount 6 around 600000000 people watch the historic events on television. neil armstrong and buzz aldrin spent 2 and a half hours on the lunar surface. they carry das experiments and collected almost 22 kilograms of rocks to bring back to us. traces of the mission to still visible on the satellite sites take home today. nasa sent 6 crude

space, such as i know the names face on the 1st flights, the se, christmas last on collecting samples and more on landing, safely in slash areas. laser trips, those sites. obviously the areas that were more difficult to reach the fitful, the apollo emissions landed on the near side of the main times. 2 is quite so easy to suppose to be imagined. if you had to describe earth's geology based on just a few landing sites, you wouldn't see much. and it's the same for us with the moon's. the more landing sites and the more samples we have from different sites, the better it is in the end is high. what's going on on the apollo 15 mission expanded some reasons it's afternoon. so able to explore extensively for the 1st time with a new, know, reza or,

and they collected much more involved in that to be dismissed as from a wide range of sites. so the last mission in the series, apollo 17, was the 1st with the scientist on board. oh, wait a minute. geologist harrison just makes our file well, he made a surprising discovery, orange material amidst all the gray. it was the groundbreaking insights through one record. in total, the apollo astronauts brought more than 380 kilograms of moving. welcome back to us from 6 landing sites. the. the largest chunk is nick named big muley. like most of the other materials from the apollo emissions it's, it's enough,

the facility in houston labs samples the store in nitrogen to protect them from moist. yeah. the, the luna samples give her such as glimpses into a fall distant past. this is yeah, because i'm going to pull all of the apollo samples, allow us to look back about 4400000000 years or time of course, very close to the formation of the planets. we think earth formed 4500000000 years ago. so that means we're very, very close to saying what happened in the beginning from prussia, china's chunk of fine flu, deprived, launched in november 2020 its mission to bring some pulse back to us around 5 decades south to the last depaula emissions the the targeted location was specifically chosen to provide missing data understanding gaps and what we already know. chunk of 5 landed in a volcanic area and collected almost 2 kilograms of dustin drugs. the loan jenny

has its success a chunk of 6 was launched at the beginning of may 2024 to collect trucks for the 1st time from the fall side of the mood. geologists have been eager to have them for decades. the in labs here on s, newton rocks could be examined with a range of highly sensitive methods, able to precisely determine the age and composition. even just looking at it in a light microscope told experts and lots of as a rocks, history and development. the composition of the minerals and this size showed, for example, what depths the rock crystallized and how quickly it cooled, the the very 1st apollo

samples changed on the view of ops on it. they contained 3 previously and minerals . it later turned out that these luna minerals also exist on the us, but it quite rat. the most of the samples are well documented photos and sensor lights. images have been made of the sites they were taken from the surroundings. the, with this data service that she has developed a message for determining the age of various pumps of the main surface. the larger and more numerous, the crate is. the old, the area is the cunning con simone. i can date the entire moon using this method even when no humans have ever walked on a particular surface. and i can also apply the method to other so let's do

a bodies of so i can also date, mercury in mars. i can date the surface of an asteroid, and econ, as the reading or pollution that to you in the lunacy posts have given us insights into the uh, the days of us have the system. they can be used for instance, to reconstruct when the nascent comments was struck by asteroids and comments unto heavy the bombardment was on us tectonic movement drives walk underground, where it mounts in raising traces of ops on it. so the history moved to vegetation and also all to the surface the samples collected even revealed the secret as the origin of all moving in the bar it tree. it turns out that the moon rocks with very similar to terrestrial rocks, the,

until then there was several series about where on the came from. now it's rocks revealed. the she was actually pos of us. the. the evidence indicates that more than 4 and a half 1000000000 years ago, a mas size celeste deal body grain style planted materials from both bodies was held into space. this eventually formed look at different always 50 thought that the cooling of the moon's cross distorted the formation of its upper crust, happens very quickly now, 50000000 years after the collision officer for this, your geologically, that's very fast for this. of course, these are dimensions that we humans can't really imagine $54.00 cent credit and it certainly dates the moon was bon bonded heavily. the impacts less behind knowledge crates as which relate to flooded by rising maxima, the,

the rock coons informed the doc crate is that gives the moon its face. volcanic eruptions pool, no more to with the maxima to the means surface. in the frigid vacuum, the hot drop plants instantly froze into glass beads, trapping the water inside the samples from the chinese pro chung of 5. also, he had some surprises, such as have discovered even more so in them than in the apollo rocks embedded in glasgow bills that were formed during meets your rights impacts. they full more to release it again and might even drive luna water cycle.

all of these discoveries have made the moon interesting again, service such as after world war 2 is the most important results to crude space travel the. the one area in particular on the fall side of the moon has interested planet tree geologists, the decades rocks from that. and now allowing them to look even further back in time. the nasa the south pole 8 can base and is almost 2500 kilometers in diameter and about slashing kilometers deep the it foamed mold in full 1000000000 years ago when a huge asteroid crushed into the mood that shot to dates crossed until its material f. onto this fist from the palais as of rock, its material that could provide new insights into the us.

the basement is good. now. i don't know exactly what the 1st rocks on earth looks like, nor do we know exactly how old the earth is. and only the moon could tell us that more. that means looking into the past. and if we have manual material from the move, and then we also know what magnet was composed of right at the very beginning. but back when the earth was very young and the moon formed in some of the maxima, 400 people. the apollo crate is located in the a can base and china's most recent luna. pro chung of 6, retrieve some polls from this crater full robots work together. to make that possible, the space pro reach the moon's old bridge in early may 2024. it took just on the 3 weeks to touch down at its destination and drop off the land to write books which reached the luminous face on june the 1st,

the months in advance. a relay satellite was positioned and luna obits to transmit the data to us. radio signals comp reach the false side of the moon's. i'm actually using a special digging device and a drill the line to a robot collected around 2 kilograms of rocks on polls. the a transpose have been carried that precious call. go back to the probe which brought the rock to us, the geologist, several ready eagerly awaiting data. the fullest and major space faring nations now have luna times in the coming decades stations that to be built to south pole crude missions will reveal in even more detail housing, even with phones. and most of us looked like around 4 and

a half 1000000000 years ago. the, the nature alcorda easy to live without us. we, however, could introduce a live without it. hello and welcome. i'm solved, you got the body and your watching equal india. and in fact, in lyman's is directly linked to our livelihoods, to our incomes. and our way of being not just to india, but across the too much with b as in lima, into problems. how do we make sure to secure our future? let's find out. in today's episode, let's start from one to chevy.
