are the aims of india's space program what does a top to achieve. but very straightforward india's space program is meant for benefiting the 1300000000 indian population. land the indian space agency focuses very heavily on meeting the needs of the common people from which a small part of the budget is taken on and used for blue sky will come on but they couldn't explain the program is one part going to move on mars of finally trying to set up a space station which would happen. and it's great it could be these are all parts of india out of betty knowledge is still there in cash are to be left behind in times to come. about no real often even there for the time in but thanks very much for explaining that to us. and stay tuned to beat up the news for coverage of sunday on to over the weekend and into monday to japan next when last year it emerged that the prestigious talk to medical university had rigged it as altar of entrance exams for years to pare down the number of women studying medicine the policy which need to generated protests was justified

because this is really india's most complex mission to date if it's successful india would become only the 4th country in the world to carry out a soft landing on the moon not the chamber the biggest space agency case of and said today that this is really the beginning of a historical journey for india this is kind of the 2nd chimes the charm there was a plan to lift off last week but it didn't go according to plan what happened there . that's right i mean this mission was set to take off a week ago but it was called off at the last minute because of a technical snag and the indian media's reported that there was there was a helium few wouldn't be in the cryogenic engine of india's most powerful grocott which is nicknamed the body now this rocket weighs about $640.00 tons it's a massive taking and its job is to really deliver the spacecraft into the earth's orbit but today too i have to say i have to say there were some anxious moments at the space station because the scientists had a very narrow window of opportunity of just one minute to carry out this launch so they were under a lot

india's mission is the 1st to bring this type of instrument to the moon. for more on india's mission to the moon i'm joined by the roscoe palace lami director of the south asia center at the atlantic council and an expert on the indian space program thank you so much for joining us the says very exciting and of course it's a major step forward for india's space program why were they so determined to get to the moon. well i don't i think it's not they were determined to get to the moon i. think it's essentially space exploration of all doesn't that go part of the indian space program and i was a part of that and or of their sort of are meant to do something new every year and this has been a systematic graduated increase advancement of the excursion program and that's why they're keen on getting to the heart of sending to scientific experiments. so a gradual expansion how does india space program measure up right now to the more well established programs of the u.s. or russia. well you know 1st of a i don't like this comparison with the u.s. or russia for f

chandrayaan 2 is india's most challenging mission so far a highly complex undertaking. the spacecraft should reach its destination in the 2nd week of august when it enters an elliptical orbit of the moon. then it will approach the lunar surface. when the landing robot vic separates from the craft the most exciting phase begins india's 1st soft landing on the moon. to select a landing site is about 600 kilometers from the lunar south pole a region of craters on the dock side of the moon. the blue markings here shows frozen ice in craters i spotted by satellites. given the high plateau the landing robot should touch down gently ancient rocks. after landing will open its doors and release india's 1st lunar rover on to the surface small as a briefcase it can travel up to 500 meters. with its on board instruments the rover will measure water bearing minerals in the lunar rock as well as the concentration of elements such as aluminum silicon and titanium. meanwhile the landing robot will record moonquakes and explore so-called lunar plasma a thin layer of electrically charged

india's mission is the 1st to bring this type of instrument to the moon. d.w. sonia found the car has more on this from the capital sonya there must be tremendous national pride right now give us a sense of what people are saying and what they're feeling. that's right and this i mentioned i and to this mission has been a source of immense national pride there was a lot of 7 gracious rounds of applause breaking out of the control center at india's space station today the broadcast was in the midst of this broadcast live on t.v. there were about 8000 prominent guests including indian president i'm not called in who was present for what the indian space agency said was supposed to lift off and this is also a huge moment for india because this is really india's most complex this mission to date if it's successful it would become only the 4th country in the world to carry out a soft landing on the moon the chamber the biggest bases in c. k. 7 said today that this is really the beginning of a historical journey for india this is kind of the 2nd chimes the charm there

india's 1st soft landing on the moon. to select a landing site is about 600 kilometers from the lunar south pole a region of craters on the dark side of the moon. the blue markings here showing frozen ice in craters as spotted by satellites. given the high plateau the landing robot should touch down gently amid ancient rocks. after landing will open its doors and release india's 1st lunar rover on to the surface small as a briefcase it can travel up to 500 meters. with its on board instruments the rover will measure water bearing minerals in the lunar rock as well as the concentration of elements such as aluminum silicon and titanium. meanwhile the landing robot will record moonquakes and explore so-called luna plasma a thin layer of electrically charged particles above the surface. and the rover will be able to collect data for a few earth days then it will go dark for 14 days that's when the temperature drops to $160.00 degrees below 0 celsius. the all but it will spend a year gathering data about the moon the objective

while it has significant exposure in india, this is...have a large exposure not only in asia but in europe and the us, and we will hopefully know before the weekend if a deal over thomas cook materialises. if they can turn thomas cook around the way they have turned the wolverhampton wanderers around, they will be doing a very good job indeed! let's go to india now, where the commerce minister is holding talks with us officials to try and repair a fast—deteriorating relationship with his country's biggest trading partner. last month the trump administration took away india's preferential trade status. it's intended to benefit developing countries, but president trump says india isn' giving enough access to its own markets. that means india loses the right to export goods worth $5.6 billion a year to the us duty free. india retaliated by raising tariffs on 28 american products. a 30% tax was raised to 120% on us walnuts, and 70% on us chickpeas. before the fall—out, business between the two was booming. last year trade between the two coun

india's mission is the 1st to bring this type of instrument to the moon. as we wait for blast off let's go to. the car live following the story for us and sania how confident are indian scientists in today's launch there's a very tight launch window that they have to meet. that's right brian i mean scientists today have a window of literally one minute to carry out this launch that's a really tight window so they have very little flexibility in terms of time so the pressure is really on to get this right this time they can be the room for t.v. so i think that a lot of you know tense and anxious moments going on right now at that space station on india's eastern coast ok mission control tweeted earlier that the chandrayaan 2 is ready to take a 1000000000 dreams to the moon what is this launch me for india's space program. well so this is really india's most complex space mission to date you know the timeline to when attempt a soft landing on the kind of yet unexplored untaught to the south polar region off the moon this is never been done before and if succ

so india's mission put on hold ri spoke to roger. a senior fellow and head of the nuclear and space policy initiative at the observer research foundation in delhi we asked about this so-called technical snag that stopped the launch. i just part of the time this not much information available on the. technical problems that the chance that tool has run into. this or has just come out with a tweet and a statement do a very brief statement just to say that it's been a technical snag. one doesn't know that but i think the problem is possibly because she is so remarkably the geosynchronous launch of a good mark t. that has been used by chance they aren't true to how you salute to the new wiccan that's being used previously. we have been using the few so we the logical which is considered the tried and tested well cause of the indian space for such organization but the g.s.o. mean mark to me has just gone through to this flight so far in a sense that could be part of the problem in a sense and the maybe it may be a smaller problem it is th

years to come to meet rising energy demand china by far has the world's biggest appetite for coal india comes in 2nd consuming 12 percent of the world's coal and on the other end of the spectrum germany only uses 1.8 percent so it seems like the future health of our planet depends on china and india and the way they satisfy their energy needs for more i'm joined by day for a chat or g. from a business standard in mumbai dave i hope you can hear me already and here i can see you good to have you with us so 1st of all explain to us like how addicted is india to coal. we are quite addicted to just look at the static to statistics almost 74 percent of india's totally cities in rishon is from baseball stations and not only that almost 60 percent of india's in starved happens is from boston so it's we are certainly addicted to the ball and there is no way out as far as a couple of next years is concerned what is happening is the government is unable to change to change the game do doesn't want to abandon. our stations that is because if we shut down this gold base politicians it will leave a

cost it's expense india space applications as already proven dividends for india because india's space program began as an ethnic yeah india space program. started out as application oriented program and that was a low cost access to space and so far it's not to see it got kind of a scoop in the in a negative way so i don't think it's controversial as far as expenses concern and it's one of the most successful scientific endeavors in adventures that india is embarked upon and so there is no controversy per se on this. me joining us from the atlantic council with more on the successful launch to the moon thank you thank you . you're watching news still to come on the program growing alarming for sale over shoot to kill policing tactics in rio de janeiro the government says that tough measures are needed to crack down on crime that innocent people are being killed in the crossfire. but 1st we had to ukraine where president selenski party claims to have won an absolute majority following sunday's parliamentary election if confirmed the result would be the best any party has achieved in uk

that when that was removed, india retaliated by raising ta riffs removed, india retaliated by raisingn 28 american products in june. president trump definitely was not happy. so that will likely affect a trade relationship between the two countries which actually hit a record at $142 billion last year. but india had the better side of the deal by having a surplus of over 24 billion. so washington says the main reason behind this trade imbalance is the nationalist policies of indian prime minister lorenzo moody who was recently re—elected. it is not just about tariffs. the who was recently re—elected. it is notjust about tariffs. the us says his administration has imposed tighter controls on foreign firms which are trying to enter india's fast—growing e—commerce market. the two lea d e rs fast—growing e—commerce market. the two leaders met last month at the 620 two leaders met last month at the g20 summit injapan and the us president said they were working through the differences butjust this week he said india's hi tariffs we re this week he said india's hi tariffs were unacceptable.

surely it's 2nd time lucky for india's lunar mission monday's launch brings india closer to its goal of becoming the 4th country ever to land a spacecraft on the mood after the united states russia and most recently china the chandrayaan to lift it off from its launch pad in and report dish state and play and this time sparking celebrations at the country's mission control space said the successful lift off comes a week after an aborted forced into. the unmanned spacecraft will explore for the 1st time the lunar south pole. chandrayaan 2 is india's most challenging mission so far a highly complex undertaking. the spacecraft should reach its destination in the 2nd week of august when it enters an elliptical orbit of the moon. then it will approach the lunar surface. when the landing robot feet crum separates from the craft the most exciting phase begins india's 1st soft landing on the mood. to select a landing site is about 600 kilometers from the lunar south pole a region of craters on the dock side of the moon. the blue markings here shows frozen ice in craters i spotted by satellit

is india a tricky place to do business?f reforms in the past year, for example, there's a system where every state had a different vat, like a sales tax, and now we have a unified goods and services tax so we don't have a set of warehouses in every state, you can have one big warehouse for entire country or region is. we need to make business in india more easy to do. -- regions. samsung says it expects operating profitability to tumble by 56% for the second quarter this year in the face of a weakening chip market. that comes as a drop in shipments to battling tech giant huawei swelled the glut of memory chips in the global market. tech analyst jake saunders said the two companies have a complicated relationship. they are for enemies, in one respect they are collaborators and in one sense they are enemies. they are major competitors in the global market, while way, and that's where samsung could benefit. the s—10 is selling well and they have the note coming out in the third quarter, so there should be uplift but the overal

the situation in india spun out of control in 1975 the government of india again they forced 8000000 women and men to undergo sterilization. this dark chapter in indian history became known as the emergency period. the idea of population control what was so seductive to national leaders people like indira gandhi was the idea that they could achieve maturity in one generation and they could do it with crash programs even if it required taking some risks even if where some people were going to get hurt this was something that was going to make india a modern nation and was going to improve everyone's welfare in the long run what they didn't understand was that in many rural societies these children were their parents' only source of security in old age and not only that but in poor societies even children in many cases are able to support themselves and help their parents even from a relatively young age. but there is another reason as to why people in asia have many children and want a son and so they continue to have children until they have been mailed ascendant. the family planets
