Havent been in a classroom for months because of the pandemic flu protective measures to keep students and teachers safe. Plus with almost 2000000. 00 cases of the coronavirus india is racing to develop a vaccine or politics forcing scientists to make false promises. Im sunni so misguided thank you for joining Us Afghan Forces are battling militants from the socalled Islamic State after they attacked a Prison Holding hundreds of its members a gun battle broke out on sunday night after a suicide car bomber targeted the prison entrance at least 20 people have been killed and dozens more injured in the battle that is ongoing the attack comes after Afghan Special forces killed a senior Islamic State commander. And this is a developing story were going to try to get a correspondent on the phone to give us the latest from afghanistan and i will try to come back to this story for now though lets move on to some other news the 2 american astronauts have made a landmark splash down as the 1st commercial crewed mission to the International Space station returned to earth it was also of the 1st class down landing after u. S. Space mission since 1975 space x. And the u. S. Space agency nasa are celebrating the success of the mission which they say will bring the free market to space exploration. As we are now just about 20 meters off the ocean this is the moment when space 6 proudly went where no company has gone before. Flashed out. As you can see on your screen we have visual confirmation 1st smack down the firms landing capture glides into the gulf of mexico in the control room but through tame from space 6 and nasa the u. S. Space agency that contract it for this mission is pretty much complete so. Even after the landing the danger wasnt over the dragon capsule weighs over 12000 kilos for docking it and extracting the 2 astronauts inside a delicate endeavor teams currently working with the private schools no one at space 6 saw this coming out of several sightseeing by its approaching that capsule with it gushing propellant few the pleasure boats were ordered to leave the area immediately. There we can see the lift. In the end the dragon made it to shore of the water and we have our 1st view and astronauts doug hurley and bob behnken emerged planet. With a huge thumbs up and an optimistic message for the u. S. And the. Moment just. Given all the things that happen here again on the left early on the right Mission Accomplished by 6 who have pioneered Public Private partnerships in out of spice. And i think were both super super proud to have been just a small part of the team accomplished. Space flights back to the florida coast and bringing that capability back to america its also a personal triumph a spy 6 found in a lawn musk public controversies have begun to overshadow his recent business successes. Im not very religious but i prayed for this one. Very few but here it is. Space x. Is next mission is planned for september and the firm is hoping it will launch space tourists into orbit next year. Separation for 35. 00 pm pacific its goal dominating a new age of commercial space travel nationals one in which competition between the companies creates innovation and progress. And earlier we spoke to nasa watches keith cowing who explained why this mission was so significant well its interesting because the idea of putting humans in a capsule and launching him into space and then having them splash down into water isnt necessarily moot sifton as was new to neutral peace we have a journey here in the states in 45 years weve ridden on cruise line and soviet space russian spacecraft and before that soviet space and they were you know linked and so we havent had a chance to do this in a long time but deficits to engineer and more important things that this spacecraft wasnt a government spacecraft it was bought by the government of the Services Rather walk by the government under a commercial contract with space x. They also have one with boeing so instead of the 10 trend over the past half a century of only flying people into space and government on spacecraft now are buying tickets and that she has the chance of going further than just professional astronauts needed commercial astronauts and maybe someday youre not ok were going to come back to our top story now Afghan Forces are battling Islamic State militants in the east of the country after they attacked a prison there and we have been able to bring in our correspondent whos covering the story from the capital kabul hi ali can you give us the latest on the situation and a lot of. So basically the attack is ongoing its been more than 17 hours and its really affected the city theres a shutdown of the city stores are closed people are warned to stay inside their houses there have been reports that some of the fighters actually took up residence in a district near the prevention capitol earlier in the week they have been living there for a while where they were able to a planned attack and this really come you know right after the eve holiday and after a 3 day cease fire with the taliban was supposed to give them some kind of comfort and relief but what were seeing is you know People Living under for 17 hours now under the sounds of explosions and gunshots and just rats and just being told to stay at home. Due to the risks and what is behind this attack. The exact reasoning is you know still uncertain you can never be completely certain but what we have to remember is that just yesterday. On intelligence had announced that they had killed one of the leading daiichi commanders who is in charge of intelligence for the socalled Islamic State in afghanistan and also this prison the holds hundreds of socalled Islamic State fighters who have been detained and you know i leased a 1000 the have been recaptured but we dont know how many more are still out there that is extremely worrying ali and this is a brazen attack by Islamic State militants so what do you think this means for the Peace Process in afghanistan it further complicates the Peace Process because as i said earlier you know there was a cease fire with the toll of all that was agreed upon and its hold on and these socalled Islamic State fighters they actually dont get along theyve been fighting each other since the presence of the socalled state fire as was announced on around 2014 in 2000 and. 8. All right it looks like oh were having some trouble there losing our line to feed that was journalist i left if you speaking to us from a couple. Lets move on to some other stories making news around the world a Massive Wildfire is spreading in the u. S.

In india the race to develop a vaccine against the corona virus has become embroiled in politics india has the worlds 3rd worst casualty rate in the pandemic and politicians are promising quick results but concerns are mounting that an effective vaccine will not be available as hoped by mid august. With more than 50000. 00 new every day india is rapidly approaching. Yet india has its. Easing restrictions. The rise in numbers and the threat of another see the slow down has people but indian researchers are hard at work trying to find and in the form of a vaccine. Should improve its. It should give us consolation on many. Things would be better at least. You would be that scared walking out in public and maybe you wont have to the mosque. In july 2 indian vaccine candidates initiated one human trials. Will be administering. A dozen sites the Indian Government says it feels it has a moral imperative to develop the vaccine and many major indian pharmaceutical brands are. 60 percent of the vaccine supply in the world with the africa. Of Indian Origin india is. Perceived and is important in the vaccines for supply for the word this pressure however took a political to india stop medical Research Body trial sites said that the trials should be expedited to have the vaccine ready to launch by mid august this raised serious concerns on whether the extraordinarily expedited trials will be safe and the. Move was seen by critics as for the indian Prime Minister to make a dramatic announcement in his Independence Day speech on aug 15th are rallying on a cry that india can be selfreliant. But after pressure from medical community the government body clarified that no compromises would be made on safety and that the deadline was simply to expedite the trials and. In geology the researchers say that it could take close to a year for the 1st 2 faeces of the indian vaccine trials to be completed and so far theres been no work for. Few years. Which promises. But with close to a 5th of the worlds population of india is seen as crucial to test the efficacy of any covert baxi the rapidly rising burden of the disease and the intent to be selfreliant raises the stakes even further. Lets bring in. Standing by for us in delhi heinie michele good to see you is india in a position to win this race for a covered 1000 back seat. To me god provides a definite of on so the Indian Government wants to be the one to. Go back to the government let us stop you so much for. You hasnt wanted you to start and this is why these trial has already. This also dies in indian writing this does go to chance of course not be found on my blog. And bought as thats what some critics point out that it would be far too ambitious to expect. That ive already gotten close to actually compete with what the fuck to even the 2nd one to look next so in general. Was that it has that. Right to some questions there but what about when it comes to a distribution or manufacturing of a possible vaccine i mean india has a lot of capacity to be a big part of that process doesnt it definitely swung the auto new distribution at manufacturing but didnt and childs as well yeah is expected to rule should or not just last night the sunday night got its drop controller who the childs face to went p. C. On the office flooded back by what is that largest fact that in fact that. Is try to get across to the sites in india exports have also pointed out that any candidate that is Strong Enough must be tried in india and i know that you really have to get involved in the skin off the back you also have that in the process vaccines that well that is not something its not have as much as you can see in the well miss out on top of that imus again and. What about the state of the pen demick in india right now the country supporting the 2000000. 00 mark of corona virus infections and at the same time is initiating the face 3 of its unlock programs so what is the governments strategy. Well the government has strong to go out to spend money on to believe that the mosque dividers and that he only. Wanted because all the artists in the streets just got dots and that was for 2 months to go back to many occupations especially the oldest of the well that he hired and this is why the government is insisting on the back to long leg despite the rise however the government is also emphasizing that the competition gets very high its about 65 but im right now the want to do just that out to less and and this is why the got find that i have not but the find behind thats next in the box is not. Due to these new missions as will some deli thank you so much youre watching the news still to come on our show a new bridge in general it replaces the one that collapsed 2 years ago after a round the clock effort its about to be inaugurated. But 1st it is the 1st day back at school for some students here in germany mecklenburg West Pomerania is the 1st of 16 german states to restart classes after a summer break but with the penn demick ongoing schools are having to adapt to a new normal after months of Online Learning and limited timetables that germany has vowed to get back to daily schooling nationwide by the end of the summer many schools will be teaching fewer classes and several states have already announced that students will be required to wear face masks. And lets go to diffuse test of vodka she is in rostock in mecklenburg West Pomerania so what measures are in place to prevent outbreaks at schools. Well sumi you might be able to tell behind me there are not many of these guys around the kids here having their break at the moment and they dont have to wear face masks also social distancing measures are not in place anymore so they can play football as theyre doing now afterwards they will go back into their classroom and sit next to their best friend contact is not a problem the only thing they do you have to do is then wash their hands basic hygiene measures meaning avoiding to sneeze into each others faces basically and but you might see one of the other mask around because i talk to some of the pupils and they say i want to protect myself i want to protect my grandparents so im doing it because i want to and some teachers might also ask the students to do so and so whats your impression about how things have been going and what are students and parents telling you. Theyre mixed feelings really because on the one hand everyone agrees education is important and lockdown here started 5 months ago so basically over. Almost half a year the students here that didnt come to school didnt have daily routine which is coming back now and everyone is welcoming back nevertheless that is what some call a 2nd wave already around the infections of coronavirus rising in germany meaning there are some well some concerns but i talked to some parents lets have a listen. The view him it seems like we live on our own Little Planet here but i have to admit that im not too worried and im quite optimistic when it comes to the schools and the guidelines that have been developed the measures have been adjusted over and over again and the teachers are doing what they can to implement them so far that has worked quite well so we really have to thank the teachers and the principal they did a great job to be able to follow anything in the school if they start to regularly. I guess there might be more support the children might not support it but when they get infected they can bring these biases to the home and. People who are living in the whom they might get infected so. What is the chances that newbies will go. To test our schools theyre actually prepared for the possibility that the situation could get worse. Well i talked to the headmaster and she said we have seen a push and digitalisation all the schools have had an experience doing Digital Learning homeschooling put in place again never the less here. That bit hesitant because they know education is important pushing the curriculum through is not all of it so the school is a place where you see your friends where you learn basic social skills so everyone here agrees they have to do and make the most of it but also teach that the rules that stay in place to avoid a 2nd wave come out. Of these tests are reporting for us there in the state of mecklenburg west palm or anywhere just the 1st day back at school thank you. Now some more headlines from around the world of a former Northern Irish politician john who has died at the age of 83 in 1988 who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize along with David Trimble for their efforts to end decades of violence in Northern Ireland with the socalled good friday agreement he was a founder and leader of the social democratic and labor party in Northern Ireland and campaign for the nonviolent reunification of ireland.

A beacon of hope rising from the depths of tragedy this leak restructure now stands in place in general is infamous for and the bridge almost 2 years ago to the day 3 people were killed when a section of the bridge collapsed sending big crews plummeting on to the riverbed. This is my ok mima chance who lived under the bridge most to prolong life her home had to be demolished on to the collapse. She still remembers the crack of the concrete crashing to the ground. I financed will be still a Police Complaint im a big i opened the window and saw the bridge had vanished there i saw those 2 large lorries one white and one red right next to my house and in that moment a wave of anger washed over me because i knew those few cars were cautions.

It was such a tragedy such a terrible scene but to do the work you want to hear and so fine youre. Sure that. From. What we can do anyway good things but to the relatives who lost loved ones the new bridge is no cause for celebration a group has said his sister brother in law and their 2 children were killed in the disaster she says the effort put into the construction is a fresh source of pain if each. Leg. It is tough to see the joy surrounding this construction. We would have been happy if this huge project was john earlier the old bridge should have been demolished before our families were destroyed premarket and those 3 for me to force or at least through. A criminal investigations underway after poor maintenance was blamed for the disaster the egg lay this was a National Scandal one new construction alone went to fix the new bridge cant heal the wings of those who lost loved ones but it is a powerful step towards piecing together a city torn apart by tragedy it quite literally reconnect with west and offers this community a sign of hope and regeneration. Feel like. Its quite simple and light. Says shell never forget that day but hopes the new bridge will represent a fresh start for genuine.

Afterwards the relief was plain oh my god i was just praying to try and get around the 2 so.
