good news for jaguar land rover. absolutely. this loa n jaguar land rover. absolutely.boost for jaguar land rover, which is a unit ofan indian jaguar land rover, which is a unit of an indian company, just over a week after announcing a new range of electrified cars that will be manufactured at a facility in central england. so the car company will be investing hundreds of millions of pounds, transforming its site near birmingham after previously committing to electrified options of all new models from 2020. so the first electric vehicle off the production line will be the ninth generation of its flagship xj saloon, and this guarantee tojlr by the uk export finance agency was granted to support the design, manufacture and export of electric cars, and this news will definitely safeguard the jobs of thousands of workers and provide a much—needed boost for the british automotive industry which has been rocked by job cuts and planned closures, also brexit, a slowdown in china and flagging demand for diesel powered vehicles taking its toll onjaguar land rover over the years.

the point made by jaguar land rover today, batteries.en from the government is support for innovation but not enough for the supply chain including having a big battery producing factory, we also need better support for skills and a more joined up approach by government and encouraging us to actually use electric cars. the decision by the government to cut subsidies for them la st government to cut subsidies for them last year was a big mistake. do you believe that jaguar land rover has got it right and that this is a gamble that ultimately will pay off? they will have to. there is no alternative. the industry will go underour alternative. the industry will go under our profound change. jaguar land rover are at the forefront of that and have had some success already. the fact this investment is happening here is a great boost for the local economy. other car-makers have gone further having the? the local economy. other car-makers have gone further having the7m europe? not really. we have seen progress by bmw but other than that jaguar la

you've got to remember that jaguar land rover terrific news, simon.0 redundancies over the last two years, so the news that this will secure the future of 2500 was cause for celebration. also it was interesting that it came at a jaguar land rover, because they have issued some of the most shrill warnings about the threat of a possible no—deal brexit to the industry. so, some will be saying, where they crying wolf? the other thing we are saying, as theo pointed out, there isa saying, as theo pointed out, there is a massive transformation going on in the global car industry, something like £240 billion going to be committed over the next two years to the move to electric. so although this sounds like a lot of money, it isa this sounds like a lot of money, it is a small drop in electric vehicle investment, in which the uk is actually lagging behind. the question for consumers is, are we going to be prepared to drive these cars? about 1% of the market is electric. with the charging infrastructure as it is, will this plant be making cars that people wa nt

one of my collea g u es bought a range rover.t out. he says i can't even drive. it was white. good morning. the summery weather will continue, dry with some sunshine. a few showers around by the morning, by the afternoon we will continue with sharp showers. they will be very isolated. for most it will stay dry. this is the satellite imagery this morning. you can see the cloud here, moving its way eastwards. it is high level cloud, making the sunshine hazy to this morning. by the afternoon, it will spread its way into the north sea. for most of us it is dry. you notice the showers developing across scotla nd notice the showers developing across scotland and northern ireland, through wales, the midlands, one eye of those could be on the heavy side. the maximum temperatures will be higher than they were yesterday. widely into the 20s, 27 celsius is the highest temperature in the south—east of england. through this evening we will still have a few showers across central and eastern parts. those were gradually clear away before furthe

by jaguar land rover, it is living up by jaguar land rover, it is living up to the expectations of the rover are trailblazers in this country, crucially, now, at the next stages, we need government to play its part, what we want to see, for example, the battery cells that are necessary for the cars, produced here in britain. at the moment they are produced in korea and that cannot make sense. crucially, also, what we are determined to see is that the government gets it right at the next stages on brexit. great uncertainty continues to overhang the automotive industry, and all i would say to ministers, is this: jaguar land rover have to date back to britain, we hope our british government backs jaguar land rover. just to take those two issues, one by one: the batteries, you say, the government needs to get behind that. why is that a government issue rather than an industry issue? the industry is collaborating together, it wants to see battery cells manufactured here in britain, but if you were to go to france or germany, this would not be a debate they would have, they would recognise t

soon the rover will actually explore the moon. but how will it get there that's where alina comes in a spaceship and lander rolled into one a miniature transporter. able to carry payloads of up to 100 kilos. to escape the earth's gravity alina needs a bit of help she launched into orbit aboard a space x. rocket from there the landing module needs to travel 400000 kilometers to the moon on its own then land there gently. all at a fraction of the cost of previous missions before but if you take care of yourself i will use a lot of existing space technology that he will cost down because we don't have to pay initial development costs or the goal is to manage a mission like this for under $50000000.00 euros that's very cheap for the cheapest mission to lunar orbit so far cost around 202250 1000000 it's just one of from to. for far less than that alina will bring 2 rovers to the moon at the same time they'll investigate the legacies of previous missions. of apollo 17 to be exact. when those astronauts return to earth after 3 days they

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 is to fill in the gaps from india's previous mission it has 8 measuring instruments on board their function is to investigate the moon's fin atmosphere and show which minerals and chemical elements make up its surface. for the 1st time a special radar will be used to determine the location and quantity of frozen water . india's mission is the 1st to bring this type of instrument to the moon. and for more i'm joined tonight by a group of seeing who is considered an authority on india's space endeavors his latest book is entitle

that is why the announcement from jaguar land rover is incredibly positive.harging, and thatis infrastructure for ev charging, and that is the ability for the energy networks to make sure we are the enabler to a low carbon car future. the energy networks industry won't actually provide the last point charging, the leeds and sockets, but what we are able to do is make sure we can enable the right capacity at the right location to enable it to happen in public. and that will stimulate the market, because i guess range anxiety is either a perception or a reality depending on your view, but we just need confidence that you can charge your car at home and your workplace and en route. that will allow the car market to be able to move electric ca rs market to be able to move electric cars add volume, and that will allow them to recoup that investment in infrastructure cost. i think you win the prize for sentence of the afternoon so far with are used to build wind farms, i do not know who will top that! graeme cooper, thank you very much. you're watching afternoon li

after landing the crown will open its doors and release india's 1st lunar rover on to the surface. small as a briefcase it can cover up to $500.00 metres. with its 2 instruments the rover will measure water bearing minerals in the lunar rock as well as the concentration of elements such as aluminum silicone and titanium. meanwhile the landing robot will record moonquakes and explore so-called lunar plasma a thin layer of electrically charged particles above the surface. and the rover will be able to collect data for 14 days then it will be dark for 14 days that's when the temperature drops to $160.00 degrees. 0 celsius. the orbiter will spend a year gathering data about the moon the objective is to fill in the gaps from india's previous mission it has 8 measuring instruments on board their function is to investigate the moon's thin atmosphere and show which minerals and chemical elements make up its surface. for the 1st time a special radar will be used to determine the location and quantity of frozen water . india's mission is the 1st to bring this type of instrument to the moon.

land the rover on the salt form of the moon how significant is that. well landing on the song paula good morning is very significant nor the country has gone as well to the south all as india is going if you recall most of the landings or the apollo missions have happened to be a region of the only country which has gone anywhere close to the solve is china which is on the far side of the moon but it is closer to the equatorial region the indian spacecraft are going closer to the south pole but why are they going there. that's a very valid question. because that is an unexplored area and india hopes to do some good signs and hopefully some good discovery which could include finding. copious amounts of water on all of the moon because what scientists are predicting so you can get through isn't fully the landing site very close to the earth all of the moon but still not on the. india has also announced plans to send astronauts into space and also build a space station what exactly are the aims of india's space program what does a top to achieve. but very
