President ial debates mikes will be muted so cut out interruption. And nasa prepares for a touchdown on an asteroid to unlock some of the secrets of our universe. And. All the sport that is cowboys suffer a crushing defeat against the arabs on a cart and still remain top of the division. How are we begin the news hour with sudan that could be about to end more than 25 years of International Isolation and boost its transition to democracy the us President Donald Trump says hes ready to remove the country from a list the state sponsors of terrorism thats likely to bring an injection of International Investment and allow urgently needed debt relief will speak to. Correspondent had a morgue and a moment but 1st heres her report. This is one of the events that have kept sudan on a u. S. List of state sponsors of terror and kept most Foreign Investors away for more than 25 years. In august 1908 truck bomb attacks on the u. S. Embassies in kenya and tanzania killed 224 people and injured more than 4000 sudan was accused of providing a base for the bombers then president ahmed had already been accused of offering sanctuary to the likes of al qaida and its leader osama bin laden. But after you have negotiations by the Transitional GovernmentPresident Donald Trump says hes ready to restore sudans International Status in a tweet he said sudan had agreed to pay 335000000. 00 compensation and once deposited he would remove it from the list. The road ahead of us is long and we have to have a serious plan and Work Together to benefit from the supper to nitty we promised people and we work to achieve our promise with no agenda except the interest of the nation together we can achieve the impossible being on the list has meant sudan has struggled for investment resulting in a hard currency shortage that led to inflation that 1st rose slowly then steeply the countrys pound has lost more than 50 percent of its value against the dollar in just the past 2 months because strapped government is struggling to pay for stuff lies of lead fuel and medicine all items it subsidizes resulting in shortages sudans removal from the u. S. List would allow it to be relieved of its that by the International Monetary fund that will still take months but the country needs help now some analysts say that may mean a move to normalize ties with israel which comes with an economic assistance package could still happen i suspect however that we will see in the coming days or weeks an effort towards normalization on the part of the sudanese because washington at the end of the day needs to get some kind of political. And i think its a sad commentary for washington and for the german ministration that it isnt a sufficient enough win for them to point to a Success Story in the horn of africa where there wasnt one before this is a region you know beset with political problems and economic problems and for us to be able to point to a Success Story should be a sufficient Foreign Policy win through his administration that it should want to try and trumpet that when. And while President Trump seeks a Foreign Policy when so dance Prime Minister abdullah him too says the delisting would open paths for sudans economic improvement crucial for its transition to democracy and lets not bring in her but she is joining us from khartoum so whats the reaction over there still have a. While during the announcement by the u. S. President donald trump has been welcomed by the sudanese Prime Minister abdullah as well as the head of the Sovereignty Council of the fact that. Now among sudanese here the reactions have been mixed some have welcomed the decision saying that it was a long time in waiting and that after months of negotiations its only fair that the u. S. The lists of them off the list of state sponsors of terrorism others however have condemned the fact that sudan has to pay 335000000. 00 when the country is effectively cash strapped and broke and in desperate need of economic help itself more than 60 percent of the 43000000 population there in live below the poverty line according to the World Bank Many of them have suffered as a result of the inflation and able to afford basic commodities and basic needs to be able to survive and weve seen the rate of the people who are facing hunger improve increase according to the u. N. World food program so people have been criticizing this government saying that instead of paying that some of the 335000000. 00 to the u. S. And to the victims of the terror attacks on embassies in in 1809. 00 this money should go to try to solve the current economic cry. But according to the minister of information who is also the Government Spokesperson saying that money would open more opportunities more Economic Development and more growth which is why they see that its only a fair deal to be made and for sudan to pay that amount to the victims and to the United States or some over in the u. S. Are still hoping that this move will encourage sudan to establish official diplomatic relations with israel of course there were reports that that might happen. Is normalizing relations with israel still on the table then. Well thats one thing that the sudanese Prime Minister up in the hands of was very sure to to make sure to make sure of that these 2 issues the issues of delisting and normalizing ties with israel is the links now it looks like with the with the tweet from President Trump that the issue has been indeed linked as per the request of the sudanese Prime Minister who says his government is not mandated but the sudanese a spokesperson also said that the government is still under immense pressure to normalize ties with israel especially because the countrys Economic Situation is in need of assistance now should the government agree to normalize ties there will be an economic assistance package offered to the government thats something that so the needs of a child who spoke to him just they were confirmed and they say that the countrys economy economy needs that assistance and thats because of course like i said thats because of the inflation because of the shortage that the country is going through but right now it seems that the focus is on transferring that 335000000. 00 so thats listed ok thank you very much for that update from hard to lets stick with the story and speak to whos an activist and a filmmaker he is joining us from khartoum as well thanks for your time whats your reaction to this multimillion dollar payment sudan is going to pay to the u. S. In compensation. I mean the 1st thing my 1st reaction is reparation is reparation to families who got their loved ones killed so im happy that they feel reparations and i think its good to remember them before we Start Talking about Economic Situation and how were feeling so its good that people who are part of supporting terrorism realize that you have to even if after revolution so to me its good and all lot of these families are actually african and that will be. So hopefully theyll feel that we have sudanese paid our dues for having such a government although its a government be overturned we ate it a government that killed a lot of sudanese but we have to pay and i feel like this is a good strong message for everybody in the world that if you are part of this youll pay so how significant is this when it comes to the economy though when it comes to the economy for the people for people like you who are living in sudan and also how significant is it for the government whos been accused of not being able to get the economy going. This game at the perfect time is going to not come at a better time tomorrow is the 21st of october its a day of revolution for us because its an anniversary which an off 64. 00 and we were going out in the street because our Economic Situation is horrible the streets theres lines for petrol those lines for gas theres lines or bread people have reached their limit and we needed a good we need it could use and this happened at the perfect time today my mother woke me up early in the morning at 6 am being like oh dear the news so people are excited that now we have some good news although it is going to take months before we see the economic turn because of this but we needed that we needed to feel on hold for the future economically so this came at a perfect time do you believe that the government in sudan however is still under pressure from the u. S. To normalize ties with israel and this issue is not going to go away in fact it will come up but whether its in a few weeks or a few months time. So one of the best things about how this turned out is that how doc and this is 1000000000 government stood the ground on on not giving up our moral support for the Palestinian People and refusing to just give in which this is the military. Part of our government wanted to so i think this was a winning one for the civilians and 2 for sudan to be like you know we stood our. Ground and this is something that for their evolution is really important because this is their revolution of ethics and morals before it is a revolution off needing food and needing Economic Development so to me this was great and i feel like this is such a win and its important how we wanted we wanted by sticking to our ethics and morals so i think its really important and i hope. In a civilian government stick to their grounds that theyre not going to give in to normalize issues relationship until. Democracy and its something that the parliament should actually decide on and sudan and sudanese people as a whole the to decide on and right now it feels really good to actually stick to the rights of the Palestinian People all rights has sousa kuka thank you for speaking to us from khartoum thank you Human Rights Watch has released video it says sos fighters from a congo these armed groups meeting civilians getting support from the military the leader of the group has been on the run for more than a year malcolm webb reports.

He has been fighting him sids school. Those who say there may be a certain collaboration between the army and should bring evidence we are actually in military operations against collaboration would be against the nature of our mission which is to track down all armed groups.

N. Says the a. D. F. Has killed more than a 1000 civilians since the start of last year aid agencies are pushing for a stable ceasefire nagornokarabakh so help can be given to those forced out of their homes the International Red cross says so far its only been able to provide limited aid there are reports that shelling is continuing days after azerbaijan and armenia agreed to a humanitarian cease fire. In armenia civilians are volunteering to help soldiers on the front line for many the fighting is different from the war in the 1994 a challenge explains from the capital here of on the strip by strip not by not theyre hoping to save lives the women and teenagers in this year of an school are making camouflage netting to send to the front lines theyre volunteers part of armenias home front war efforts and there are scenes like this all across this small country respond to battle plan from every single set fatal flaws and a great source told to roll hall of the cross if i want to stay here i dont want to do more. The further is there and its obvious why everyone is affected by this war in some way here is a translator and teacher and asked her students who they knew at the front there this one i guess. Brothers fathers uncles cousins friends childhood friends colleagues and every day we come to class their eyes i read my friend i had my brother that we had one of or one of my students died that although they insist on media wants peace and will ultimately be victorious theres a sense here that things arent going well people in armenia are aware the conflict has changed since the war after 990 s. Many of see those videos of drawings picking off groups of young soldiers i dont even know whether these nets can protect their troops against such things but they are hoping. Armenia and azerbaijan are supposed to be respecting a humanitarian ceasefire but azerbaijans president said on monday that is very forces had regained 13 villages near the azerbaijan iran border from armenian control and azerbaijan said armenia shelled a factory in the town of terror well beyond the new going to karabakh line of conflicts hopes for peace rose late on monday when a leader and armenias Prime Minister nicolas passion agreed in principle to meet in moscow. But the fight over nagornokarabakh has deep roots. Is one of many armenian artists raising money for the disputed region by setting their work. During the 1st war my sons were small 10 to 11 years old now they are mitchell men and now motherland is still in the same fatal situation im an optimist but when evil wants to end even i sometimes lose my optimism as a boy john says its fighting to expel all media from azeri land on media says its fighting to protect an ethnically armenian nagornokarabakh either way most say theres more fighting to be done. Yet of all media plenty more ahead on the news hour including hacking the Winter Olympics and the elections in front of us we have the latest on the involvement of the russian Intelligence Officers plus. Im joined here in the suburbs of minneapolis one of the many suburban belts in swing states where the u. S. President ial election will likely be decided. On sports news we look ahead to the return of the Champions League with 2 with europes biggest club set to face off on tuesday. But 1st organizers of sundays president ial election in guinea have dismissed the main opposition candidates victory announcement so supporters celebrated in the capital. And else has when president alpha conde described as irresponsible and dangerous official results arent expected for several days for more on this lets bring in Nicholas Hock his following the developments for us from the car thats in neighboring senegal so it looks like guinea is heading towards a post electoral crisis. Thats right i mean after this announcement made by jello. Before the Election Commission had to say anything well that really has sparked jubilee of jubilation is on the streets but thats also has support for the government to deploy but with the military and Paramilitary Forces on the streets of cannot create elsewhere in the country the party said weve done jello. Came out late last night saying that 3 of its Party Members had died in clashes with Police Officers with police and the military firing tear gas rubber bullets so situation volatile and the Election Results are still not out now the Prime Minister has also come out saying like no one should be adding fuel to the fire only the Election Commission can announce these results the Election Commission itself has come out again to say we will and that was those results on wednesday so theres a lot of pressure on this so why did jello. Anticipate the election result and announce it well because 2 times before he fell that he has been robbed of these election waiting for the Election Results and the electorate the Election Commission siding with the incumbent president so thats why he says hes given the results out without giving a clear tally as well he says that the voice of the people had been robbed in the past he wants to ensure that thats not the case again at stake here is whoever becomes the new president will have to rebuild this trust between the institution the Political Institution in mali and the people but as well he will have a new president will have to negotiate these lucrative mining deals that are in this country thats extremely wealthy and yet People Living in extreme poverty some of the companies that are operating in guinea are announcing record profits as the Israeli CompanyBenny Steinmetz the emraan aluminum Guinea Company all these companies are making record profits and yet the people in guinea for the vast majority live on less than 2. 00 a day they want to see a fair share of the pie and thats whats at stake in this election take a look at this report. On the edge of guineas capital an old man is mourning his lad gone are the mahogany trees the rare species of chimpanzees and the home that kate his father and grandfathers were born in instead there is industrial extraction of bauxite feeding the worlds insatiable appetite for a mineral used to build planes drink cans or i phones remembers the welcoming smile of the Mining Company officials who accompanied with Armed Security forces told him to leave his home they gave him the equivalent of a 1000. 00 in cash for a piece of land twice the size of new york citys central park hes now displaced unemployed and out of money to much. Theyve taken away my dignity ive been robbed of my farmland and my identity i feel powerless a comms even pay rent here im homeless a come to the city hoping to find opportunities. Where the largest reserve site in the world of Mining Companies such as the guinea aluminum co hes really been east its Group Resources and russia has roussel are making billions of dollars in profit from a country where most people live on less than 2. 00 a day. Problem is in terms of governance in terms of management. Big gap between what they could expect from the sector and what they are getting on them and i think he should be one of those we could have in west africa if they manage their Mineral Resources on sunday gideons went to the polls to vote for the countrys next president after a bitterly Fought Campaign where incumbent conde and other candidates fermented ethnic tension rather than address kids economic failure opposition candidates who accuses the 82 year old president of corruption and mismanagement public funds believes he won the race. In spite of the anomalies on sunday and in view of the results that came out of the ballot boxes im victorious in this election in the 1st round but has yet to accept defeat caught in the middle of this tussle for power are given despite feeling abandoned by their political leaders still hope for the opportunity of a better life Nicholas Hawke aljazeera.

New buttons on microphones were being introduced for the final Election Debate between donald trump and joe biden the u. S. President frequently interrupted his democratic challenger during their 1st face to face debate last month on thursday will get 2 minutes without interruption trump says its unfair but he will take part are that deploy our correspondent mike hanna has more from washington. Strictly speaking its the same format and that is a 90 minute debate divided into 6 sections but what the change is is that each candidate will be given 2 minutes to speak at the beginning of each section and now the commission on president ial debates says the other candidates microphone will be switched off during those 2 minutes to stop all interruptions and then during the discussion that will follow a free discussion in each section any candidate that interrupts will have the time taken off him and given to the other candidate this just follows the absolute chaos that ensued in the 1st and only Television Debate between joe biden and President Trump now the commission insisting that it has to take these safeguards to ensure that some form of debate does take place between the candidates early on in the day of the Trump Campaign sent the commission a letter saying that it object to the fact that it was not focusing on Foreign Policy this particular debate it also described the commission as pro biden and also insisted that it would not accept the muting of microphones well the commission announced this change in rules after that and it doesnt appear that theres been any oppose all opposition to this particular fact so it appears that this debate will be going ahead according to this new formula in terms of which the candidates mikes will be switched off for the 1st 2 minutes while the other candidate is talking they were hard 6 former Russian Military officers for disruptive and destructive Cyber Attacks on major events they included the 2800. 00 Winter Olympics in south korea and the president ial election in france 3 years ago british officials allege attempts to disrupt next year is olympics and paralympics u.

No country has weaponized its Cyber Capabilities as maliciously and it responsibly as russia wantonly causing unprecedented Collateral Damage to pursue small tactical advantages and fits of spite the defendants in this case were all members of the military unit 74455 of the russian Main Intelligence Directorate known as the g. R. U. The department previously charged members of the same unit also known to Cyber Security researchers as the sand worm team for their role in russias efforts to interfere with the 2016 u. S. Elections lets get a check on the weather with rob lets focus briefly on the philippines weve now named this Tropical Cyclone as sardo as its International Names known locally as pepito it wont be as cute as it sounds a lot of rain still to come from loose on the wind shouldnt cause much damage but really were going to focus further west is going to could crossties on head towards finn and you know the story in vietnam this is again extensive flooding has been around for a couple of weeks hes getting no better the rays easing it a moment but as you can see rescue efforts are clearly going to be extensive because this extends all the way almost just south of how we down towards the south coast were focusing on the moment this months theyve received nearly 1300. 00 millimeters of rain its no surprise im sure to hear the average is 671 so theyve seen roughly speaking twice the average so far now although its a temporarily quiet and the breeze is taking much of the heavy rain a bit further south thats just a temporary position and this is sidles focus on wednesday its going to cross luzon is sitting over the warm waters of the sas china sea from that point all modes it will take a track westwards we cant be sure exactly where it will go to end up somewhere like this on saturday by which time will be a proper tropical storm.

The final u. S. President ial debates on thursday during their 1st face to face President Donald Trump talked over the democratic challenger joe biden. Well the u. S. Supreme court has the republican that would have limited the counts of mail in ballots in the state of pennsylvania it means postal votes there can now be counted up to 3 days after the election on november the 3rd the top court was deadlocked allowing a Lower Court Ruling to stand there are currently only 8 justices on the bench following the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg black lives matter protests on the accompanying violence and Property Damage could have an impact on us suburban voters in the upcoming election they were key to victory in 2016 helping him take a swing states like minnesota and wisconsin john hendren has more from minnesota all of the suburbs were rolling lawns we do expensive homes were scenic views. Quaint and coming close to foreign nuff from squalor idyllic havens of safety and middle income splendor but dont let the leafy tranquility fool you divisions here run deep these are the battlegrounds where the u. S. Election will be decided. In suburban minnesota a short commute from minneapolis George Floyds death under a Police Officers need led to raucous protests that divided a nation in many households. And probably for me it would be trying i like the idea of a republican socialism and that seems to be the direction of the democrats and i think character is an important quality and. I think also we need someone who can unify and not divide it why President Donald Trump seeks to instill fear into the suburban heart if you elected this guy the suburbs would be overwhelmed with violence and crime and why joe biden is striking back how many suburbs will be burned in wildfires how many suburban neighborhoods will have been flooded out how many suburbs will have been blown away. Super storms. Here one voters crisis of law and order is anothers calamity of social injustice and i have 100 percent support for the protesters and ive been doing my best to stay as active and be as involved as i can with it when trump won the suburbs in 2016 he won the election the math of midwestern battleground states is Pretty Simple the city is lean heavily toward democrats the rural areas lean heavily toward republicans most of these states will be decided in the suburbs the battlegrounds within the battleground states in pennsylvania michigan and Wisconsin Trump won the suburbs and narrowly won those states he won the suburbs here outside minneapolis to narrowly lost this state but there are signs of trouble for trump here white Women College educated women growing really. In many ways so a lot of the suburbs. Overall they are moving away. Here in the land of 10000 lakes trump is now lagging biden in the polls but Trump Supporters know he also leg Hillary Clinton in minnesota in 2016 before nearly pulling off an upset victory john hendren was out of minnesota. Thailands Prime Minister is recalling parliament for a special session next week to deal with the ongoing antigovernment protests thousands rallied for a 6 Straight Days in the capital bangkok although having gathered on tuesday along with the Prime Minister of pro youth resignation they want reforms to the constitution and the monarchy is well well there were emotional scenes outside a prison in bangkok when 19 protest hers were freed on bail on monday evening they were arrested when police fired water cannon to disperse Anti Government rallies last week several more key leaders of the prodemocracy movement are expected to be released on tuesday with more protests planned for the 7th straight day well the protest movement in thailand is finding support in hong kong activists in both places are pushing for solidarity seeing parallels in each others struggles its been dubbed the milk tea alliance after their shared love of this drink right there both groups view themselves as taking a stand against an oppressive government in hong kong theyre protesting against this security law which threatens freedom and autonomy in the chinese territory while over in thailand theyre pushing for reforms of what they say are and are undemocratic institutions theres been an uptake in collaboration online as well activists are sharing means and slogans many of which also feature taiwan theyre also exchanging protesting tactics so what began online is now spreading to the streets joshua long one of hong kongs most well known activists held a rally at the tike consulate and he says he stands with the. High today we stand with fellow protesters in china. And russia is not the way out is the time to rush out and hina and to push forward democratic reform lets bring in James Buchanan whos a visiting lecturer at my his Old UniversityInternational College hes joining us from bangkok thanks for your time with us on the news hour why do you think protesters James Buchanan why do you think protesters in hong kong and thailand have formed this unlikely alliance. I think because as you said in the introduction that they see a lot of parallels between the 2 struggles. Are essentially struggles for a Representative Democracy and both movements are also used late movements so its kind of. A shared identity there between the young quick answers any differences between them. Sorry are there any differences between them what we were outlined the similarities but what makes them stand apart i mean i think the political context are very different in hong kong and thailand move more broadly so that would be different. In terms of the protesters ringback. You mentioned that they can communicating online stuff so language there had been some language difficulties to overcome which had been interesting because. Hong konger suspect was some people think dont always speak perfect english and sometimes are quite chinese but you need wish so but that is all been part of the part of the fine and has actually helped to build the solidarity and overcome these barriers and do you think that solidarity will continue elsewhere i mean could it spread even further. I think it already has even the origins of the multiline which is starting to get some interest from for example some of the other countries in the Southeast Asia region or countries which have been. Negatively affected there or if you are even seeds or issues like the. Disputed. Philippines and vietnam. And more recently of course india who had a border clash with china and we saw a lot of interest and support from indians coming into the start and fall of the hash tags of the lines so how significant then is all of this i mean what does this say about the sort of for merging protest movements and and borderless activism thats taking place in the region. What i would call transnational terrorism is certainly not a new thing but war is seems to be new about the alliance is that it is it comes from the internet it comes from social media and it is sort of lying on social media and what that means is of course that compared to the ways that for example leftist political movements our trade Union Movement is in the hospital we seek to build alliances across borders this can reach many many more people it can become much more mass and also it can do so. But i dont most instance speed as people use social media to communicate yeah very interesting ok James Buchanan we thank you for speaking to us from by thank you thank you. India has reported the fewest new daily coronavirus cases in nearly 3 months nearly 45000 infections were confirmed in the past 24 hours taking the tally to about 7600000 data from the Health Ministry show a steady decline since september but experts are warning numbers could speak again as a series of festivals approaches and argentina has become the 5th country with 1000000 infections new cases are increasing despite having inforced one of the worlds longest lock downs other latin american countries are also heading towards the 1000000 infections mark including colombia mexico and peru scientists in brazil say an experimental vaccine being developed by china appears to be safe 9000. 00 brazilians are taking part in the trial of corona vaca its one of 3 vaccines being tested their data on how effective the treatment is wont be released until the trial is completed. Countries all across europe are taking Emergency Action to stop a resurgence in corona virus infections the World Health Organization is warning that Winter Weather will make the next few months especially difficult in the Northern Hemisphere now the baba reports. In ireland as elsewhere covered 19 is causing real fears for the winter months the countrys just recorded more than a 1000 new cases in 24 hours now the governments approved the highest level of restrictions for a limited duration people will be asked not to leave their home except for exercise nonessential shops will be shut with restaurants only operating takeaway and delivery services. Wales has taken a big step down its own path the devolved government is starting what it calls a 2 week fire break from friday the type of restrictions last seen back in the spring between friday the 28th of october and the 9th of november everyone in wales will be required to stay at home this means working from home where ever that is possible and the only exception will be critical workers and jobs where working form home is simply not possible the Welsh Government says the measures need to be short and sharp to fight an exponential rise in covered 19 cases its offering almost 400000000. 00 in support for businesses affected.

And in italy theyre also bringing in new measures including earlier closures for bars and restaurants and a push to increase working from home the aim is to avoid the need for a true lockdown across the continent rising numbers of coronavirus cases in hospital admissions reigniting the debate over how far to close down society and for how long. In south africa 2 black men accused of murdering a white farmer manager are back in court bell Brandon Horner was killed in early october in what white farming unions say is part of a pattern of targeted racist attacks a Previous Court appearance scuffles between white farmers and members of the Political Party who oppose the prosecutions Rights Groups say there have been nearly 300 attacks on white farmers this year and 37 murders. More from santa call where that court case is taking place. This is brought to the fore racial tensions in south africa which is an ongoing issue but then every so often does become a flashpoint depending on what is going on on one end of the spectrum you do have farmers white farmers in south africa who have said that theres a systematic attempt to get them off farms perhaps using violence crime such as murders and on the other hand you also have the government that has said that this isnt about targeting farmers in a specifically but its about a broader crime issue in south africa so africa does have one of the highest crime rates in the world it has the 5th highest or number of murders in the world and annually there are about 20000. 00 murders in this country of that between 50. 70 farmers are murdered every year so its actually a small amount given the 20000. 00 murders we do see in this country every year every year and so there is this argument and this back and forth between interested groups farmers on one side who say that they are targeted and the government and other interested parties a Political Party used to say that this isnt about farmers and this is also about perhaps labor issues and then you also have you know an organization like every forum an Advocacy Group whos saying that even if it had to do with labor issues less than 2 percent of the murders they see on farms are related to those labor issues and then again because of south africas history there is an issue around Land Ownership about 70 percent of farmland in this country at least 70 percent is owned by white farmers specifically.

Then who is more than 320000000 kilometers from earth the plan is for the osiris rex to land in a dark crayton the bennys north pole once the sample collect the senses contact with the new surface it will fire a small puff of compressed nitrogen to kick up daybreak and capture pieces of the asteroid and event that last just a few seconds Scientists Say many things could go wrong if the spacecraft for the tip over up to 25 degrees they could come into contact and be damaged these cyrus wrecks blasted off from Cape Canaveral in florida 4 years ago it arrived at benito in 28 and has been mapping its surface at the since Scientists Say the sample collected may help unravel some of the mysteries of the solar system asteroids are out there in space. Or when theyre left over in the solar system for 40 years now and i look at it. Studying them and. Start to understand that material was. Made. Thats really. If the mission is successful the sample will be delivered to earth in september 2023 Victoria Gate and be. Lets talk about those with francisco to go hes a Senior Research fellow at the department of physics and astronomy the University College london thats where his joining us from thanks for your time however there are any and significant is this event. It is extremely important there are but i have to fast because here of course the mission itself used to get to the us through these well quite an achievement let alone being already there on the us to go for a number of months and then planning where to take the samples and finally do it in a very robust the way its a Fascinating Technology we are we are seeing now being the blow as we speak is going to collect the sample with us on that we see here on the right. Arm which is about 3 meters long collecting a sample by blowing as we saw and then you measure what blowing tonight the region and collecting these sample a little canister that we will recover from the desert scene in north america in 3 years starting and then analyze it properly now the analysis of the sun material is extremely important is not only giving us clues about the formation of the solar system but we need more information about that but that type of faceted without cause been chosen in this case is our hospital reaching category i mean the local pastors are reaching count on the how compounds and carbon compounds we know they are the basic ingredients for the Building Blocks for life and how challenging is it going to be. To navigate. X. Onto the asteroid when he has done it already done on the ground they are still for several months now and he has being actually these sample is not going to make a proper contact with the us delays just a little part is going to contact for a few seconds as we see now and any mation is going to come closer and closer and that but hes going to contact there for 5 seconds and then blow soma. And then fly away and that these were what is happening today. Go ahead. Yeah yeah yeah the point is not nice to get close to the asteroid or to a few meet their sexuality to do the sampling they have gone a couple of thessalian on these year they approached 260. 00 meet this 240 meet theres just to check that there were things was ok the house on trial sites such sort of far mocking i was sampling and now they are doing their day the one for good were going to really go into into or near the surface of the asteroid yet i was reading about sample rate packages for return in a capsule its expected to land back on earth in september 2023 that is so once it does that how does this actually advance the study of asteroid science whether we would find out i mean the material is going to mean this is a little nice that ofa or 60 grams which is almost nothing but that does this extremely valuable it will take a few weeks perhaps a few months to get some positive response about the the. Kind of 36 of the material the chemical composition and essentially the abundance so far organic molecules based on cochrane are right to francisco to go thank you very much for speaking to us from london its a pleasure. Still ahead on the news hour the Dallas Cowboys making history in a rather embarrassing way so i will be here in just a moment and sure looks plain shortly. It will be a. Color again time for the sports is with sun up thank you very much to a dying always out with the Dallas Cowboys who have made some quite embarrassing n. F. L. History following their latest defeat this by being mauled at 38 to 10 by the Arizona Cardinals and seeing their workload slump to just 2 wins and 4 losses they sit. Top of the n. F. C. East division makes them the cess team with a dizzying raechel and to have that if is indeed 2 weeks 6 since 1970 mega o. Been speaking to you k. Based American Sports broadcaster michael calls and he believes that the cowboys new record was in some ways inevitable top of the division is and isnt much of a compliment when its the n. F. C. East and to an extent dallas has problems like 3 of 2 of the other 3 teams in the division they have new coaches this has been a terrible year to bring in a new coach for most teams because youve had less practice time because of the pandemic youre not as sure about your roster because of the pant pandemic and its its been difficult for a number of teams the problem for the cowboys in the short term has been that their defense as it has been for a couple of years has been very very shaky indeed theyve allowed 34 or more points in their last 5 games and thats something that hasnt been done in the n. F. L. For about 30 years the east was a very Competitive Division for a long time you know the eagles in the early part of the. First decade of the century dominated for a couple of years but since 2004 there hadnt been a repeat champion until the eagles did it again just just in the last couple of years but coming into this season you knew that you were going to have to noticeably bad teams in washington and the new york giants and then you had a Philadelphia Team that is kind of always in a rebuilding state since they won the super bowl and a dallas team which looked to be the easy favorites looked to have improved somewhat but were operating with a new coach and a new defensive coordinator new system so there are big question marks to begin with in that division. You have her Champions League is back at last seasons one is up on my host Manchester United in the us the pick of tuesdays 8 group stage matches the red devils go into the game following some pretty inconsistent form this by beating newcastle 41 in the e. P. L. On saturday united have only taken 6 points from their opening 4 games p. S. G. However flying high after a shaky start to the season theyre not 2nd in the. Fantastic group for us every game will mean a loss in every game will be. Important for us because this team has just started on something and is the. First time this this Team Together can play against the best probably the biggest test for us that weve had so far will be this game.
