Sydney meanwhile has been envelop than a shroud of smoke with fires raging near the State Capitol only its taller structures remain visible its famous landmarks kasten an epochal uptick light. On the ground few dear to venture outside without face masks air pollution in sydney is now several times what experts believe to be hazardous the fires are being fuelled by drought and record temperatures which Scientists Say a result of Climate Change. And many are angry at this man Prime Minister Scott Morrison is currently facing criticism for leaving the country to holiday in hawaii. Protesters turned up at his empty home in sydney and accused him of not doing enough to end the country some reliance on fossil fuels the reality of Climate Change is upon us droughts are getting longer and more severe heat waves are becoming longer and most of the now bushfire season is creeping into spring and winter we are living in a dangerous climate and it is time for our Prime Minister to get out of pockets of the whole and gas lobby groups and to start thinking about the future of astronomy and.

And james morris speaks for the New South Wales Rural Fire Service he told. Us is doing to combat these mega blazes base for the bank burning in very very remote and rugged terrain a lot of these areas do not have close can time lines on the way can simply do a direct attack or do close can time and so are now strategies now to fall back to communities and want to areas to protect times as these fires come out into habited areas now the Biggest Issue at this stage is that these trials asar lauch and with catastrophic fire conditions predicted for tomorrow across a number of areas the only thing that we will be out do tomorrow is to protect law and try and protect property where we can under these conditions because its simply too dangerous to be able to have far far as trying to control they said was under those conditions. There is morris from the New South Wales Rural Fire Service now lets get back to go back to our top story which is the vote in the u. K. Prime minister Boris Johnsons. A you withdrawal bill has passed its 1st reading so lets join barbara vessel on the line from outside the British Parliament involved and welcome barbara does this result mean that breaks it is now done. Absolutely its almost done because the rest is just mere formalities its going to roll down as planned 5 hours strong and he has such a big and steady majority for his conservative party that there there is no opposition really want to great because they have a party that totals testers after a loss in the last election so Disaster Relief so yes it is going to roll down and im not going to look needed then britain will leave only the European Union on the 31st offered generally of next year and therefore of heightened youll read joisting in tottenham and cheer on them during sidon quite a few. Miles me are maybe not at all money being made about mary francis and the like because parliamentarians are no off today for the holidays and they can contemplate breakfast in the more over the next 2 weeks on the view with their many differences between the bill that was passed today on the bill that was rejected so many times previously. It was of course basically in its essence the same bill by force johnson had charges that he had taken off some of the concessions from the trees a may had made to the opposition for instance that workers rights according to your standards would be called protected yes taking away the rights from problem and really go to the on the on the trade agreement on the future relationship agreements that will be concluded and somebodys going to the next year or maybe later with the European Union they had oversight and they have a buffet and some others some other sort of consumer hedges that he brought back into the original so its going to be very hard you can have some banks its notionally shelling around it 1st said he does not want to get into iraq and regulations anymore so we know whats going to come up your house Boris Johnsons. Election victory effectively settled this debate in the u. K. And perhaps taken some heat on to be arguments. It has settled the debate of course that means he has won with. No doubt about that he had won the battle now talked about moving on and everybody that we were together getting a false record of what he wants to do is the unity the word itself that the youth anymore like it never happened but of course underneath after the Office Issues will have overcome their shock there is this disaster is still up to election day the current president movement that it can record that has been so strong last year i mean there was a 1000000 people are down the streets of london weve seen nobody here today just a few try close to 3 people they fall for a given up in a way it doesnt mean that you did then meant that the finest in the country were just go one way were just how far apart on one and wishes for the club the vessel in london thank you. Strikes in syria claiming im increasing number of civilian lives the syrian observatory for human rights all some sense at least 30 civilians have been killed by russian and Syrian Government asterix in the past week alone at the desk commissary and ships launch a new offensive. Which i was told from under the rubble after strikes hit. Scenes all too common in the province since monday at least 30 people have been killed and dozens more injured by russian jets most if not all with civilians and many of them children. Residents say their town has no military importance. Is that it was the pub and this is an Industrial Area only civilians live here as not a single soldier here russia is worse than the Syrian Regime we civilians have no one who can help us a lot. Of our on a war plane hit the area with my thoughts i left my motorcycle and ran for cover there were people on the rubble that. Was the conflict in Northern Syria escalated again earlier this year when the Syrian Government backed by russian app our began a large scale offensive against rebels in the region. Caught in the crossfire civilians are fleeing their homes some 8000 people are said to have fled to areas near the syrian Turkish Border since tuesday a region and their idea home to many displaced by the war and as long as the offensive continues its likely more will follow. Were watching the news live from bob and still to come the u. S. Spacecraft starliner fails to reach the desired orbit for its test flights to the International Space station to take a look at whats causing the glitch what it means for the mission. Was there to remain on the struggle to improve the poorest performing Health Care System has received billions in a huge funding but its corruption has crippled projects meant to improve its ailing infrastructure despite the construction of the countrys 1st hospital for children suffering from cancer has begun but its being funded by private donations this report from bucharest. An ambitious goal of the construction of a hospital for children with cancer and bucharest financed exclusively by donations. Came up with the idea when she learned how catastrophic the conditions were on woman in cancer wards tactics that is different in the past 31 children on college and shared 2 toilets in a shower we founded unacceptable that in the 21st century children with cancer who treated like this. In romania as elsewhere building hospitals was actually the task of the state but thanks to corruption the former remaining in government did nothing to even try to block the work but the 50 year old was stubborn and founded the give Life Association with mike minded people and launched a media campaign. So my minor problem a moment with our biggest problem at the moment is finances we still have to raise money to finish the hospital we trust that people will continue to donate. To ms to see that for after all weve come this far. Pregnant or not complete they keep. Makes her way to the office to coordinate fundraising activities so far theyve collected 20. 6000000 euros they need another 10000000 to complete the construction. Look at things get more complicated by the day i know you know. This is where they collect the donations so far 260000 romanians and 1800 companies have transferred money. The association has received many awards for its commitment. To the fall going to how it was hard to raise money in the beginning we had to gain Peoples Trust when we started building and everyone saw what we were doing with the money more companies and more private people donated and look who would have thought that the rock group metallica would come to romania and donate so much money. 250000 euros from the american rock band alone and 2020 the association wants to donate the finished hospital to the state. Or u. S. Aircraft maker Boeings Starliner asteroid capsule has gone of course and has not reached its planned orbit Us Space Agency nasa says the man spacecraft is currently in a stable position after being launched on a test flight to the us. Is meant to free nasa from its current reliance on russia to travel to the space station and nasa has been using russian soyuz rockets to transport its astronauts since the u. S. Space Shuttle Program was terminated in 2011. God the nasa held a News Conference a short while ago Fabien Schmidt from our science desk was the following that joins us now welcome what did nasa say then about the reasons for this glitch. Yeah basically the point is is that the starliner took off very well on an atlas 5 rocket and everything went quite fine until about 31 minutes into the flight and then as the thrust didnt ignites a stressed is basically another 2nd rocket that is supposed to carries the module to the i s s why didnt it ignite because as jim children from boeing said that the Mission Elapsed Time somehow was set to the wrong time which means this is not a manned mission its the 1st mission of this airplane the Many Missions were supposed to come later this year or a still probably supposed to come later this year and because its a Robotic Mission as a robot has to know what its supposed to do now obviously it was on the wrong time schedule and so it didnt ignite in time and then to control such an aircraft or airplane craft a spacecraft from the from the earth is a bit difficult because you have the communication problems and the way they couldnt send the signal up in time to ignite the stress does and so what they did is they parked the. Spacecraft now in a space in a safe orbit and they will have to raise it all with a little bit. And in order to accommodate for a safe landing in white sands in new mexico thats where the spacecraft is supposed to land anyhow in 2048 hours from now so 2 days from now the spacecraft will land whats interesting is that the 2 astronauts who were also supposed to be on then asked to supposed to be on one of the 1st flights was starliner was there nicole men and mike fincke he mike fincke he said that he went through this procedure like in a log book like minute 2nd per 2nd following the procedures and basically going to it as if he was on board and that he had great trust in the spacecraft and that the moment that this rusted didnt start they could have had they been on board they could have pressed the button and basically gotten the spacecraft safely to the i s s or had it been a manned missions as time and not a Robotic Mission would probably be on the right cause. Because it was a Robotic Mission somehow didnt work was autopilot. The woman in the team nicole man said that theyre very much looking forward to flying was Starliner Starliner spacecraft. In the future and that theyre still confident that everything will go all right because all right Everything Else went all right so it was just this one time a problem that basically caused the trouble adventures which they dont do science thank you that was it a festival as bad rich a high point in the congolese capital brazzaville this weekend the theme is the dynamism of youth and one of the 1st performances focuses on the conflict between older and younger generations. Last minute preparations for the opening of the festival the idea is to bring theatre directly to the people the stage is set in a simple caught yet kids neighbors and fear to love us a flocking in.

On stakes the company plays this explicitly and the public is enjoying it. Sort of because the audience is different the audience is closer to the actor on stage with the conditions that are there are very close like at home you can talk about it together after you know. This was a deliberate decision and then they come home and necessity to organize aside a Famous Congress writer to explain the spirit of the festival. Come to jesus or the sony levittown seas said to do theatre in africa you have to seize the situation by the scruff of the neck so thats what we do all the time even if there is a lack of subsidies from the government we seize the day and we get there.
