On counting the cost the trillion dollar lunar bounty 50 years off the man 1st stepped on the moon we find out why theres a scramble to return and the number of people going hungry has risen for the 3rd year running we find out whats gone wrong counting the cost of you. Will not. Welcome back a look at the top stories this hour irans revolutionary guards are saying they have captured a British Oil Tanker in the strait of hormuz it comes on the day a Court Granted gibraltar the right to detain an iranian tank a suspected of Smuggling Oil to syria for another 30 days meanwhile irans state t. V. Has also add footage it says was filmed by a drone the u. S. Claims to have destroyed proving it returned to its base. And our other top story south africas corruption watchdog says it has found the president so around the posts and deliberately misled parliament and question about the donation to his campaign fund. Benevolent Supreme Court has ruled that dutch peacekeepers were partly liable for the deaths of 350 muslim refugees they handed over to bosnian serb forces in srebrenica or in 1905 a case is groundbreaking in may set an International Legal precedent for countries which contribute troops to peacekeeping operations but the court also reduced the degree of state liability from 30 percent to 10 percent angering relatives of the victims as paul brennan now explains the bereaved relatives of the mothers of srebrenica group of 40 for more than 2 decades for justice emerging from court they were bitterly disappointed. Im shaken im surprised but i will never forgive them i will never let go of this new. Part of charlies server needs said july 995 a crisis became a massacre thousands of terrified muslim civilians crammed into the u. N. Compound seeking refuge and when Serbian Forces entered the town for 400 dutch un peacekeepers were outgunned and outnumbered women and men were separated an early 8000 men and boys were taken away and murdered the Supreme Court case focused on 350 muslim men with a dutch peacekeepers had handed over to the serbs despite knowing the man would probably be murdered but the judges estimated that the men would have had only a 10 percent chance of survival even if theyd been allowed to stay inside the un compound the outcome is that the state bears very limited responsibility in the case of the mothers of subpoenas. Responsibility the liability is limited to 10 percent of the damages suffered by the remaining relatives of 350. 00 male refugees who were staying at the compound of dutch about the dutch case is regarded as groundbreaking in establishing that governments can be held liable if the peacekeepers they send on un missions fail to protect civilians during Armed Conflicts but its also being legally controversial on the dutch advocate general had called the liability irrational the claimants believe its the 10 percent decision thats irrational 0 and a or whatever those that are called they admitted 10 percent of liability but that still means that the admitted responsibility and i think the Defense Ministry of the netherlands and their government are responsible for genocide in srebrenica and it doesnt matter one percent 10 percent or 100 percent they are responsible its not clear what level of financial compensation the relatives might finally get that will be decided in a separate court case paul brennan aljazeera Health Officials have been struggling to contain an ebola epidemic in the democratic republic of congo well the Health Organization has declared the situation in an International PublicHealth Emergency and their affairs that a lack of leadership on the ground is going to need to an even bigger crisis our diplomatic editor james bays reports from the United Nations. Once again africa is confronted with one of the worlds most contagious and deadly diseases 1600 deaths in the democratic republic of congo and for now cases of abode continue to rise the last major outbreak of the disease was in 2014 then the u. N. Set up a special mission the United Nations mission for a boat and see response or. Tony banbury was the u. N. Official in charge hes been watching the response to the latest outbreak with frustration we need a much more comprehensive response and until that happens until theres Political Leadership in till theres a crisis operations leadership on the ground were just going to see the current a ball a crisis in the d. S. P. Get worse do you believe that Political Considerations perhaps have trumped the the Public Health ones here i heard a very senior official from w. H. O. On the radio saying one reason they delayed declaring an International PublicHealth Emergency was precisely because of opposition within the dear thing government it was said loud and clear by a senior official and for those of us who were thrust into the 2014 crisis very late in the game it was devastating to hear that frankly because that was one of the big mistakes from the 24th crisis the uns top humanitarian official admits that the Global Response to a boat is badly on the funny did we hope there will be a much Stronger International response one of the things i have been noting is that the response i think to the last it by outbreak which attracted this. State has. Involved 2000000000. 00 in an area to graphically which is comparable to that. Were dealing with an east india see now with a population which is not so wildly different we have at the moment only a fraction of that in 2014 the crisis was even seen as a potential threat to International Peace and security the Security Council met to discuss the situation no such meetings are planned this time but mr bambery who 5 years ago was the one brief the Security Council says that shows theres not yet the Global Leadership needed to defeat this latest outbreak jamesburg aljazeera at the United Nations. Kosovos Prime Minister is resigning for a 2nd time because hes been called to appear in front of a War Crimes Court in the netherlands next week ira deny it was a rebel commander and the cost of the Liberation Army he went on to become Prime Minister it resigned from his 1st stint in the job in 2005 when he was indicted by the u. N. War crimes tribunal for former yugoslavia which tried and acquitted him twice is now holding kosovo to hold a snap election to find a replacement for him. As from this moment we are in resignation as a government the reason is that they have been invited to be questioned as a suspect but a special court where i will appear next week saw i consider that they cannot go to the question who is the head of a governor but as an ordinary civilian as a revolutionary.

Stoniest sank in the baltic sea in the early hours of the morning almost 25 years ago 989 people were on board when it set out from estonia persuaded and only 137 survived. 4 years survivors and the victims families have been fighting for compensation but a french court has now thrown out their case to. Them its very disappointing i know the judiciary compensations have been pronounced against the victims quite exaggerated to say the least of the 2022 years of proceedings i think the victims could have been through. It has been a long journey then for the families to get to this point they were seeking damages of 46000000. 00 from a german shipbuilder and prince that if occasion agency which it said the ship was sea worth 8.

Carlo im hasnt sleeker this is counting the cost on your weekly look at the world of business and economics this week the trillion dollar moon bounty as india prepares to become the 4th nation to land on the moon we find out why theres a new scramble to get there the number of people going hungry has risen for the 3rd year running after years of improvements we find out whats gone wrong. And the multibillion dollar muslim fashion industry why are big brands buying into the trend. Of 50 years ago this week Neil Armstrong became the 1st man to step on to the moon mans flotation when it was brief with a dozen men walking on it the last in 1982 but now theres renewed interest china plans to build a lunar base by 2030 and nasa hopes to have men and women on the moon by 2024 over the next 5 years the space agency is expected to spend 30000000000. 00 on this its funding several projects from lunar landers to a mini space station that will allow craft to dock around the moon billionaires iran musk and jeff bezos also spending billions to get to the moon and mars but theres a new emerging powers india is trying to become the 4th nation to land a probe on the moon the chandra and 2 mission hopes to land a lunar rover close to the south pole sometime in september the area of the moon has not been explored before there it hopes to find signs of water and helium 3 of us thought to be 1000000 metric tons of helium 3 on the moon only about 250000. 00 tons could realistically be mined but that would be enough to power the earth for at least 2 centuries each ton is estimated to be worth 5000000000. 00 there are problems in getting helium 3 to earth though but because it is not radioactive it would not produce dangerous waste. On the Indian Space Research organisations mission is expected to cost just 125000000. 00 india has built a reputation for its low cost Space Exploration its budget of 1700000000. 00 a year is just a 10th of nasa says 19000000000 indias 1st mission to the moon in october 2008 discovered water molecules on the surface were joining me now from london is talk to ian crawford professor of Planetary Science and astrobiology at Birkbeck College university of london thanks very much for being with us so its 50 year is since man 1st set on the moon why is there a race to get back there. Well i think there are several reasons to go back to the moon but from a scientific point of view weve now had 50 years studying the apollo samples and the apollo data and ways now raised many questions and we now realize the moon can tell us so much more about the early evolution of the solar system that apollo didnt and so from a scientific point of view theres a tremendous interest in exploring parts of the moon that apollo didnt go to and theres been a growing interest as well in trying to mine the resources of the moon light water what do you think is economically exploitable i think the context here is that in terms of the future exploration of space if we can find things in space which we can use without having to lift out of earths gravity then this will make Space Exploration much more affordable in the long term now water is one of those commodities water is very useful essential for human life of course but also can be split into hydrogen and oxygen and the oxygen can be used to breathe and the hydrogen can be used as a rocket fuel so waters got multiple applications in Space Exploration and weve now realized that the poles of the moon probably do contain water ice and this would make this would be the in the in the near if you near east future anyway probably the most Economic Resource that the moon might have but that would be to enable future Space Exploration obviously we wouldnt mind water on the moon to import to the earth and wed be using it in space. Well what about helium 3 then indian and china seem very interested but your skeptical about the possibility of mining it on the moon helium 3 is a light ice a tape of helium so its a form of helium with 2 protons and one neutron in the nucleus it exists in the lunar soil because its implanted by the solar wind and we know its present in very small quantities in the lunar soils thanks to the apollo samples so there is speculation that helium 3 might be used to serve fuel for Nuclear Fusion reactors in the future to provide electricity on the earth i am skeptical about this part firstly because we havent actually got any Nuclear Fusion reactors to work on the earth yet so its a bit premature to start mining the moon for a fuel for something we dont know whether we can use it yet but even if we can use it its a nonrenewable resource and its present in very small amounts to make any sensible impact to the earths 21st energy 21st Century Energy requirements youd have to strip mined many hundreds of square kilometers of the lunar surface every year extracting helium 3 from it and then youd have to transport that helium 3 to the earth to use in these uclear reactors that we havent designed yet so i just think the house to be a better way its a provide the earths future energy needs than mining helium 3 on the moon and what would it take what would it cost to colonize the moon does it depend essentially on os finding water there. I think talking about colonizing the moon its a very ambitious thing that our law is probably a long time in the future i think what we should talk about colonizing we should be thinking in terms of establishing small scientific outposts on the moon so imagine bases on them in similar to the research stations we have home and talk to these research stations and i thought to enable a lot of science to be done on the continent of antarctica and simulate small Scientific Research stations like those on the moon would enable of an enormous amount of research to be done on the moon and then later a similar outpost on mars would help us explore that planet so i think rather than thinking of sort of a full blown colonize ation the next step is seti would be setting up Small Research stations will likely as we have in antarctica but yes lunar resources would greatly facilitate the establishment of such research stations i mean water is a good example he wouldnt want to import water off into your main base from the earth because it for expensive to lift out of earths gravity so if the moon has water of its own it would be much more economical to utilize that and the maybe other resources on the me and also that could be helpful in making a moon base more affordable and under a 967. 00 u. N. Treaty no nation is entitle to you know appropriate the moon but the terms of this treaty are more vague when it comes to exploiting its Mineral Resources arent they how much of a in issue could that be. Yes well its potentially is an important issue the the 967. 00 outer space treaty was a product of its time it lays the foundation for International Cooperation in Space Exploration but at the time that it was written no one envisaged the possibility of commercial operators acting on the moon or other planets so there is a pressing need to update the outer space treaty to make it more explicitly clearer as to the responsibilities of nation states but also the rules that would govern private entities on the moon and other places in the solar system so yes i agree it is important to consider updating the 167 outer space treaty to make it fit for purpose for space activities in the 21st century dr ian crawford thanks very much for being with us thank you. Now the number of people going hungry has risen for the 3rd year running after years of improvement thats according to the United Nations which blamed conflict Climate Changes and an economic slowdown globally more than 820000000 people or 11 percent of the population suffer from hunger africa has the highest percentage with one in 5 people going hungry the number rises to nearly one in 3 in east africa according to 5 u. N. Agencies more than 2000000000 people worldwide cant get safe sufficient or nutritious food as the u. N. Agencies say conflict and Climate Change is having a huge impact on hunger in central mali thousands of people are struggling to feed themselves not been displaced by fighting the conflict between herders and farmers belonging to rival ethnic groups as led to the deaths of hundreds of people as it is malcolm webb reports from malis mufti region i put a 1st call malaria then became constipated. Her mother mary says they only have rice left to eat in their village and so eyes wait plummeted i wonder how do you mean i went to a pharmacy that the medicine didnt work so i try Traditional Medicine but we still thin so i came to the hospital and were still here there are always some severely malnourished children in hospital wards like this one in central mali worsening drought and extreme poverty play their part but the un says escalating violence in the region has made it worse. Nearly 50000 people have fled their villages after a series of attacks by militia connected to the dont go on and fulani ethnic groups the landscapes dry at the best of times now many go on who are mostly farmers far from their crops and many forlornly herders animals have been stolen or killed banditry has made road transport too dangerous for centuries the river in asia played a crucial role in transporting food and other goods around this region these boats bring produce from farming areas and its traded here at the port in the town of martinis sacks of ground up rice husks will be sold and fed to cattle the interdependence between the herders and the farmers as lasted for centuries as well the herders buy food from the farmers and in the dry season the farmers pay the herders to take their livestock out onto the plains for grazing but that interdependence is now strained. Hundreds of been killed in the last 3 months as militia connected to both groups of burned homes and massacred villages. Many of those who fled to the safety of nearby towns are hungry. Instead of handing out food Uns World Food Programme is keeping credit on cards for people to buy from local traders they have the right to trolls on their free for this is helpful in the forgotten 30 years from their village this is for the dignity of choosing what they want to eat secondly it to boost. Their standards to throw does and those what it was the economy look at the economy and like most here strata matter jacket terry had to leave everything behind when her village was attacked and that may have been here well we really need is peace the crisis needs to be handled and brought to an end for 2 matter would be raising her children alone in a camp she says her husband was killed in front of her the attacks keep happening every week the piece she longs for seems a long way off. But joining me now from rome via skype is cindy holman shes a senior economist with the food and Agriculture Organization and coauthor of the report the state of Food Security in nutrition in the world in 2919 good to have you with us so hunger levels are not falling right now according to u. N. Findings whats behind that yeah this is important because what were doing were seeing a witness
