to collect rock samples for study back here on us. china is one of a growing list of countries and, and private companies looking to plant the flags on the lunar surface. well, just in the name of science and exploration, but also for reasons of profit and power. so who is in charge of that? i'm feel guile invalid and this is the day. the launch mission is a complete success. everyone into the united states, the india, japan. they all time to get to the more detail repeat of the mysteries, these to us, how china it's been a rough, able to, to be dropped, such a ambitious and successful program in such a short time tie. not as an emergency of

a power doesn't want to be lifted behind space is the ultimate highbrow is the opportunity to think no leadership to the rest of the world. thing here, look us on our capabilities are i think we're already in a space race. the us in china also coming up the rising star of francis fall, right. so there's 28 year old. the show down by della the new fire brands disrupt to a french politics. see if you refuse to be a frenchman on his knees. and what does your frenchman standing proud then you belong with us? what corporate us? he thought no could be of them to the day a china has launched an unprecedented admission to the fall side of the moon. the mountains chung 6 pro i lifted off from the southern island province to find that it's expected to

return in around 2 months with around 2 kilos of luna samples. the launch is the latest advance. are you trying to vicious space exploration program, which now rivals that of the united states side of my history in 2019, when it became the 1st country to land rover unlimited saw side. so he is more about the beijing's latest mood mission. john 6 change to connect to the new materials from the fall side of the moon and bring it back to us. it's a complex mission that will involve definitely, we're both take modules working together the a for me. so long space craft will 1st all but the mood and then deploy a land to the side that is never visible from us. any talk at the south pole 8 can base in the law just no impact quite just in the solar system using a mechanical drew and scale the land a will collect 2 g,

those of soil and rocks. and the send more do with attached to the lambda will block back into noon over it and transfer the samples to the re entry vehicle . if all goes well, it will carry the congo safely back to us. the site is designed to review new information about the moon's early evolution. it's fall aside, is the logically different from the one we see from us. it has a thick across and its surface smoke has different chemical composition the on the 6. and so have instruments made in europe on broad spectrum which are from sweden will investigate the interaction between solar winds and the leaving the surface when solar wind sweep across the need,

they create an electric charge that can endangered afternoon and equipment. the effect is most pronounced on the crate to edges in the polar regions the, the space, it will pay the ways the china is good for you to the landing, which it hopes to achieve by 2030 both the us and china, one to establish bases at the muse south pole, sitting on a ben, it's zack is an assistant professor specializing in space. security johns hopkins university joins us from washington. welcome to the w. the last couple of years has seen china and the us and in the old landing on the moon. what do you think is behind this accelerated lunar action? thank you for having me and for inviting me. um to show, uh wow,

uh space in general space capabilities support and has services, superstructures, development security back at home. and at the same time, they added to those countries and shows for precision assess and national pride domestically. they also help development back home. so i think there's several drivers behind that. those recent events in space. it does seem to have a accelerated though over these last few years. it seems to have some of the race yes, um menu on the many have described what is happening currently as a race. um and one could potentially see that this race because we are all trying to get to the same place uh, the softball. the more around the same time frame. uh, and various countries are developing a capabilities to the end. um, however, and the one in itself is not the end point for say is perhaps who have more time to

discuss. it is just a stepping stone towards future missions towards the future exploration of space. so it is very difficult to describe the res, if there's no end in sight. right now, you mentioned in, in the list of reasons why countries might be got bad science and technology but buried with him. that was the, the military aspect. should we presume that all miller trees around the world looking up how they can actually use the moon? absolutely, actually the militarization of space has been with us since the dawn of the space age. the 1950s, the ocean of space is simply using space to support really through emissions, back on earth. what we should be worried about is actually the weapons ation space using space for offensive purposes. uh no. i must say that all of the mission of having to now that had been conducted so far,

including of those to the one. so all those missions are and having announced assigned to technicians with the goal to explore, to learn and to prepare for eventual human settlements. on the morning and beyond, in fact, the outer space treaty rectified by all major space faring countries actually, specifically for beads. this publish list the really 3 bases of really 3 installation of any sort of monitors for 2 cations, as well as the best. think of any types of weapons and the conduct of military maneuvers of the lesser bodies including the more so um, so the offensive side of the defensive use of spaces will be the new josh was based law. however, the use of military personnel for scientific research and for any other purpose is actually allowed. so, according to current national space law, in the exploration and use of our space, including the one, all countries should be guided by the principal corporation and mutual assistance.

and so far, oh, now missions are a week ago to explore, learn it's, i mean, but that sounds great in theory, and these go to the rules governing who can do, walked up there. but excuse me, if we look at china who's just as sent this, this latest mission up. if you look at what time it was doing, down here on in the south, china say, well, you look at the idea that they want to establish a based upon the move in. and you would ask yourself, well, why wouldn't they want to claim it for their own as well? uh, that's a very good question. uh. first of all, anybody can claim anything of faith. even individuals have claimed asteroids actually face as it was the case the arrows that was claimed by a, by an american individual. so anybody can go back and claim a space even, you know,

the plan to the flag, anybody can claim anything. but really the, the realities of space is very difficult and to a sort of sort of ownership of something space you also have to be able to defended . so to hold onto that position. and of course, we have to say that international law, the outer space, low to beat the national recreation of anything in space. so china cannot just claim something because um, because it wants to do so. but even if it does, even if it decides to go against it, josh was very slow that teresa, aggravating spending anything joshua community. and i understand the floor space is very hard. it's very difficult to actually do anything in space alone or just one of the reasons actually trying to pause. i tried is not going along to the moment. it is actually going together with 10 other states and several non governmental

entities. just a quick word on it because we know that when these missions go up, they have a, i've got big, gather up the close of dust and bring it down to us and examine it. what happens uh, what are the rules around treasures found on the move if they bring back some, some fantastic superconducting read us. do that gets to just isn't find as keepers or that more rules that say no, you can't do that. and then how do we full socials? this is, this is an excellent question. it's a question actually, is this country being explored and discussed at the united nations? what exactly are the rules of extracting in using institute to elements, the institute of resources? what exactly is the space resource? how much can we extract? uh, do we have the right to instruction? how much can we do if we do

a matter of the fact is that we have both back samples from the one before, including china with chunky 5 and 2020 actually full pounds of it. at that time, the apollo astronauts also brought samples of from the moon. so, preston's show has shown the presence of shown that we can bring samples back from the one at least 4 pounds. and that's will be the that's the present post a problem. however. 2 the rules are still being defined and discussed of exceptional level. so see how that that goes on. so which country do you think which super rich individual is closest to establishing a base on the moon? so this is the, this is a, this is an excellent question and i'm, i'm very happy to actually opened it up not only for states, but uh, just based on what the various entities have said. right now our team is 3,

but this lady to be the 1st cruise mission on the moon landing on the moon from the arguments program. so this one is scheduled for september 2026. they planned to use a saw sheep lenders, developers, basic surfaces to actually i'm going that's thing. china and the china lead blog post quoted actually several dates between 20262030. uh it definitely plans to land taken off on the moon by 2030. so based on those very, pretty familiar announcements, it will seem like it could be the item is block. but as you pointed out, um they're having other countries that they've also mentioned successfully on the one include the india in 2023 and several others. the attempted to land on the lawn including israel and japan. and then of course we have individuals. um, actually uh, jeff bezos is blue origin is very interested and so i'm going to be having some

questions. and so what can i get very crowded. okay. thank you. sure. as for driving through the course. so that lot of a ben, it's zack from johns hopkins university. thank you so much. i thank you. i the really speaks to young people because image speaks to young people, the best selection of books, which i think he has a lot of ideas for young people to be speaking out for young people on the future about the things that will affect us. so i don't know, i don't know just in front of that expressing in series. yeah. something for a rising star of friendship. on the 628, you hold a jordan by della about that i took over as leader of francis fall, right, nashville raleigh, hockey from. read the pen. does the process lead times? and let's say, next month you'll see the elections. speaking of the campaign event, please, we have supporters to touch and launch numbers. national invalid has been leading

the poles that had a wide vote and bought the ones the election to be seen as a mid term referendum when the government of president emanuel macro scooter was in my proposal to voters on june. 9th is clear soon. it is to send a message to the french government and my crowns idea of europe it, i don't know. and on the other hand, to pave the way for a new government, immediate outcome, we will see cuz the dissolution of the national assembly that somebody and assume that it will see all day has been following by that is a rise. she's a professor of french at stanford university in the united states. welcome to the w professor. how is this young man just 28, a so a pending french politics? well, the great advantage that she has is that she is now the leader of a party that has been on the rise for 10 years. but contrary to my having to bend, we used to be the leader of that party and the still the,

the national candidate for presidential elections. he has a blank states in terms of political weight. he doesn't have the name of the pen, which in france is pretty inflammatory and is connected to somebody. then we provide a really bad reputation for anti semitism in the eighty's ninety's and up to 2012. actually georgia and the dela appears to be the new face of the national valley. and so he's never been an executive control with executive power. so there's actually no negative things attached to the same so far. and so how is a national valley expected to perform in these coming europe and elections? so for the 2nd time in the your pain election, they're supposed to be there for the leader in the not in the polls and to be the 1st party for france. approximately 31 percent are alleged to be voting

for the national rally next june. i'm how did he manage to take over control of this policy from the pen dentist? a why? what did you say that you took over control actually might have been continues to rain in the background and all decisions come back to her, including, you know, who is on the list for the european elections. was going to be running for president june 2027, the agenda, the platform, everything actually in it continues to be in her power. however, she wanted to continue her normalization and leave the party and the small politics to jordan. but della was a great image, especially for youth, has you just shown so that she could concentrate on running for election for the president of france. and also she, she can appear more states like a state person. she goes to meet

a foreign ministers and presidents. so she's trying to, to keep above the swapped of politics, so to speak. right? in the fall, right? it's generally seen as, as a, as a, in the last few years or so. it's definitely seen as being appealing to all the less educated votes as, but he's appeal seems to be targeting the younger people because it's a west spot coming from. why are they both thing for him regardless of the fact that he is a clean slate? is it what is it better still be space, right wing anti semitism, racism, backgrounds, to him and young people still seem to be flocking to. right. so actually the older daughter is usually do not vote for the for right, because we have the longest historical memory, especially of world war 2 and, and national font. the, the former name of national riley was funded by one former s as official actually.

and also people who were part of the calibration in france. so the stigma of the national found is, is very alive in older generation. and the young do not have this historical memory . and even though he looked at and when she started to be into politics, she was a traffic they used thoughts in 20122017 jory. rodella continues to track the youth, felt we should qualify this by saying that another 25 percent of young people are going to vote on the left and another 25 percent to the center right to my campaign it age. so the use of his very flood actually said you have yeah, you're also this, this media story around drove into there because the media love and you calmer and the success story. so there's this ripple effect and it is true that he has a huge tick tock, presence of social media presence. so he speaks the language of the use. that's for sure. okay, now you've studied the importance of nationhood in french,

this for the french identity. i want to play you a recent statement from mister bother and then get your thoughts. see, if you want to restore the country's ambition and confidence, then you belong with us. you could see what if you refused to be a frenchman on his knees and want to hear a frenchman standing proud and then you belong with us. what corporate us, it's no good. the sicily old me how much of a rallying cry is french nest? the vote is very believable, so the country's problems which sits a little bit like the make america. great. again, that some used as a slogan, it's is the same idea that you know, france is on her knees and you need to facilitate her caught her ground. or however, i think that it's less about brushing us in this election than um, as for training at the people who don't feel they belong to people who feel them being humiliated, either economically not making ends meet, not being recognized,

not, not seeing themselves represented. and probably imagine how it takes and giving them center stage and he's speech. so the natural theme of you know, freshness we're punch, we want to stay french is certainly very present even is this course. but it's a hard to do to assess whether this is a drawing thing for young people, especially what we see from compl was that people who have less time education, who are lower on the social status, who have academic difficulties, who feel that it's just, you know, barely surviving, they come a completion. they are the ones who are drawn to the national rally because they speak about people suffer, right? so it's, it's a, it's comprise with a natural narrative about french losing its ranking. but really what people connect to is that he's speaking about their stories of feeling dispossessed for from the

future, from an economic position. and that's really what resonates with a daughters, fascinating analysis and reflecting for it to professor cecilia audrey from stanford university. thank you as messy. thank you. the united nations has declared made the 3rd world press freedom day and dw is chosen every day bring reluctant champions from russia for its own freedom of speech. and wor, usually at neville. now she's that i've seen the validation with a she died out of this year and he died early this year. and the optic presence on his death was widely seen as having been orchestrated by the russian government around the she has the board with the russian anti corruption foundation. the group founded by her late husband, which continues to fight against approved ends, russia. earlier this year, she cost to ballots in russia's presidential election at the embassy in berlin. an

she vowed to continue the fight against the kremlin lot. amy polluted, has a new vocal critic, not afraid to make use of the freedom of speech. before we go, humans have been using hubble remedies. for midland yet, but it saves one of the only species wise to the healing power of nature. sciences test, positive and the wrong of time in indonesia, treating a wound on its face with the medicinal plants is the 1st time that behavior has been observed in the while around the time. we'll see if we can find snow to have anti inflammatory and other purposes. i'm defining it directly to his wound. that's not move scientists to so no signs of infection. boutros. unfortunately the result of a fight. so often the case. finally, a real is legendary kobuck about a beach is getting up to her supplies biggest dance party this saturday. most of
