With the demands for change. Translation the government should take the opinion of our youth into account. There are conflicting views about social freedom among irans political establishment. At the very top, Supreme Leader ali khamenei. Hes deeply conservative and is appointed for life. Also in the conservative camp, the powerfuljudiciary, but pushing for more reform is the president , hassan rouhani. He is often backed up by sections of the parliament. They have democratic legitimacy, but in truth its the conservatives who hold the real power. And because of that power, this human rights lawyer doesnt think that change is imminent. I dont think the government is ready to reform, particularly in our hijab rules, but i think it will eventually have to. Iran has already been rocked by a wave of protests this year. Thousands marched across the country, angry at poverty and corruption. And while these protests against the compulsory hijab might seem simple, they strike at the very heart of the islamic republic.

The countdown to the moment, the worlds most powerful rocket ignited all 27 of its engines at once. At once, and lifted off from Kennedy Space centre at 8 16 uk time. Less than ten minutes later, in a carefully choreographed aerial dance, its boosters separated and headed back towards earth. Two landed simultaneously at the Kennedy Space centre, while the third headed for a drone ship in the middle of the atlantic ocean. And apart from its power, its this recycling of the rocket, slashing the cost of a launch, that makes this a breakthrough in the business of space travel. Spacexs ambitions have previously produced some high profile failures. This falcon 9 rocket exploded on the launch pad in 2016, destroying a 260 million satellite. But this test makes falcon heavy the most capable rocket since saturn 5, the vehicle nasa used to take the first astronauts to the moon almost half a century ago. Now the us space agency, already one of spacexs customers, will watch this test closely. This could be a candidate for launching more advanced robots and ultimately humans on missions to mars. But ever the showman of commercial space travel, elon musk let loose his own tesla roadster into space, complete with a space suited mannequin in the driving seat and david bowie on a loop on the radio. As the drama of this launch is celebrated back on earth, mr musk says his car could be on a journey around the sun for up to a billion years. Victoria gill, bbc news. Thats it from us.

Because of the direction of the nausea i did from it quite heavily which isnt nice but i think it got me seem to more quickly in the a e department.
