U. S. Secretary of state michael peo has been visiting israel for talks with Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu a unity government formed by netanyahu and Coalition Partner benny gantz is to be sworn in on thursday i mean fawcett has more from west to lose them. My compost 1st foreign trip since the start of the pandemic and the exceptions that required to be made to israels strict quarantine regulations raise a pretty obvious question why now and why the urgency well he and Benjamin Netanyahu the israeli Prime Minister in comments before a 3 hour session of talks they alluded to a number of topics for discussion iran the coronavirus pandemic itself but theres a lot of attention of course on one of the most controversial policy platforms of Benjamin Netanyahu as he prepares to join his former rival benny gantz in a unity government going to be sworn in on thursday that policy being annexation of large parts of the occupied west bank the key question is exactly what will the u. S. Position on that be because in the Coalition Agreement it is clear that it is required to have u. S. Backing before that can go ahead and there have been mixed messages coming from the u. S. Administration on that front so far both men talked about it neither gave very much away now were about to form a National Unity government tomorrow. I think that this is an opportunity to promote peace and security based on the understandings that will reach with the President Trump in my last visit in washington in january will get a chance to talk about the vision for peace without some months on from the day that you came to washington when President Trump announced that vision for peace when you were there there remains work yet to do and we need to make progress on that im looking forward to it after those talks with netanyahu then met israels soon to be alternate Prime Minister benny gantz who has an entirely different position on annexation from that of netanyahu he wants to see a delay he wants to see International Consultations he is concerned about the security implications of unilateral annexation and indeed on the implications to israels relationships with other countries in the world the palestinians they are warning that they will dissolve all agreements with the u. S. In. Israel including Security Cooperation with israel should there be an announcement on annexation the key decider really in all this could be donald trump himself there are 2 schools of thought one that he wants to annex to give something to his very powerful u. S. Evangelical christian lobby ahead of the november elections the other case is that it could disrupt the relationship the United States in this region and that could be a moment a motivator for the u. S. To decide to try and slow israel down a lot to see what happens in the next few weeks. A huge piece of a Chinese Space walk it crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on monday becoming one of the biggest pieces of space junk to ever freefall to earth it was the core of a rocket that successfully launched a prototype spacecraft into orbit last week the 800. 00 ton piece was 13 meters long and 5 meters wide and it landed off the coast of more tenure its the heaviest object to fall uncontrollably to earth since 1901 when i saw that space station reentered the atmosphere over argentina. Its not unusual for rocket boosters and spacecraft to fall back to earth every major space power has done it at some point from smaller japanese and European Craft to one of the most memorable russias massive mir space station in 2001 now there have been efforts to create International Regulations and coordinate among the various space agencies but its largely left to individual nations to track and inform each other of their actions un treaties in place to sort out whos internationally liable if a space object injures someone on earth most nations try to maneuver their space junk into an official spacecraft cemetery thats 4000 kilometers east of new zealand and one of the most remote parts of the Pacific Ocean john of the doll is an astronomer at the Harvard Smithsonian center for astrophysics is joining us now on skype from some of all in massachusetts we really appreciate your time so thank you very much indeed if its possible normally to be able to maneuver parts of space debris into this particular space cemetery or into a particular range away from the earth what happened in this case right well it turns out that you want to be able to do that you have to make that rocket engine restartable and it appears that the chinese for whatever reason to date the rocket launch didnt do that they just left it up there with no plan to bring it down and get control which is the sort of thing we get back in the seventys but its really not best practice today. Does this give us some sort of insight into the way that the chinese are thinking when it comes to their development of space. You know they have been Getting Better about a good space that is a mess. And they used to launch from Central China and the lower stages of their rockets would fall on villages in china so this launch was actually going to be a new spaceport in hind and island that watches over the ocean so thats safer unfortunately the the the rocket stage once in orbit either they didnt have a plan to bring it down or whatever plan they had didnt work and they havent really been forthcoming about it wasnt so difficult to get countries around the world really spacefaring countries around the world to come to some sort of communal agreement about dealing with space junk because one would imagine that the more that there is up there the more difficult and dangerous it becomes to launch a spacecraft into empty parts of space thats absolutely right so its not just a problem as you said of things falling down on us its its things hitting each other in orbit and theyre all going in all Different Directions at 80000 miles an hour so were really at the point now where we need Stronger International controls on how this happens and you know it started off with space is big theres only a few satellites up there whats to worry and and the use of space has grown the regulations i think of not really kept up just because some of the pictures as youre talking and then if i understand this correctly theyre basically nothing but because of all the known pieces of space debris that there is and there is a tremendous amount of that what happens with the legality of if a piece like this for example does come down and does hit an area within another country and that country decides to take legal action. Right there is actually in this national treaty. Be a liability for damage caused by space object. However my understanding is that the critique is not a signatory to naturally so i im not a lawyer im not sure how that plays in here but in general this has come into play a soviet Nuclear Reactor fell out of the sky on canada back in 1978 and it was a lot of International Negotiation on how much of the clean up was not used to pay so this thing does come up from from from time to time and i think its as as space get busier and busier were going to see more of that john of the dot we really appreciate your time thank you very much indeed for joining us on aljazeera so to be here i thousands died from the corona virus in latin america another virus is on the increase to dengue fever is spread by mosquitoes in many countries on the continent Health Workers there are warning of a Record Number of cases this year victoria getting reports.

But he an owner Rachel Turner so thought they could stay afloat preparing meals people could cook at home and also selling groceries. Right now farmers are plowing over crops well many Grocery Stores have empty shelves part of the problem with the nations food supply is that half of it is destined for restaurants and bars and it comes in this giant packaging things like this that individual people just wouldnt buy. So restaurants are getting creative repackaging the goods they can still get through their supply chains d. C. Based Founding Farmers showed us how theyre doing it. Owner dan simon says the idea came out of desperation because he laid off a leaven 100 people he also made the promise to provide all of them free food you know in a situation where theres not a lot to celebrate weve rehired almost 200 and it was 265 i think that was probably 285 people 1100 that we laid off so its not enough and we have a long way to go and its kind of scary and nerve racking but theres definitely some good news in there more. Still for traverso as restaurant takeout in groceries is only providing about 10 percent of the money the business is used to making and time is running out so how much time and. I think. Are probably. Maybe another month there for a lucky. Ellis believes that is going to be a problem this is going to go on for 2 more months at least. So as a good the longer it goes on.
