Been speaking about the next steps and ambitions for mars exploration. in the first ever powered flight on another planet, the small drone, which is called ingenuity, was in the air for less than a minute. it reached a height of around three metres, where it hovered briefly before returning to the ground. nasa is promising more adventurous flights in the next few days. dr thomas zurbuchen, the associate administrator for nasa“s science mission, said this along with earlier missions offered a t...

Multilayered. right, lets talk about climate change. the governments preparing to announce significantly steeper, legally binding cuts to the uks carbon emissions, ahead of an international climate change summit in glasgow this autumn. borisjohnson wants to cut them by almost 80% by 2035 — almost 15 years earlier than previously planned. international aviation and shipping will be included in the target for the first time. it will mean major changes on heating, power, insulation, transport and...

Our science editor david shukman reports. a greener future suddenly feels a lot closer. how we get around will be electric. more of our power will be renewable and our homes should be better insulated. the new climate target affects us all. weve already come a long way since the days when coal was dominant, with the government now speeding up the move away from fossil fuels. i want the uk to be a global leader in clean, green technology and in high wage, high skilled green jobs. thats what were ...

Areas that the rover cant go into. and then they can do co—ordinated science data. future manned missions to mars can utilise a drone helicopter. so there is a lot of opportunity. more than 100 years ago, the wright brothers made history with the first powered aircraft on earth. now a little mars helicopter has shown the same is possible on another planet, propelling us into a new era of space exploration. rebecca morelle, bbc news. with speak now to nasas head of science who joins us from pas...

Vehicles, can go into different areas that the rover cant go into. and then they can do co—ordinated science data. future manned missions to mars can utilise a drone helicopter. so there is a lot of opportunity. more than 100 years ago, the wright brothers made history with the first powered aircraft on earth. now a little mars helicopter has shown the same is possible on another planet, propelling us into a new era of space exploration. rebecca morelle, bbc news. we can now speak to adam stel...

It any more. we have flown, human beings have flown a rotorcraft on another planet! and we have started it by flying at mars. so its a huge deal for humanity. the helicopter took pictures, too, this one mid—flight capturing its own shadow below and anotherjust before it touched down. until now, nasa had no guarantees this would work. these flights are testing cutting—edge technology. on board are solar panels and a thermostat, so the helicopter can survive temperatures down to —80 degrees....

Very much, good to speak to you, we will catch up with you later in the programme. an ambitious target for cutting britains carbon emissions is expected to be announced by the prime minister this week. mrjohnson wants to cut them by almost 80% by 2035 — almost 15 years earlier than previously planned. international aviation and shipping will be included in the target for the first time. wales will see its lockdown restrictions eased further from saturday — with six people from six different ...

That is when you scale it down to the uk economy. so proportionately? proportionately, we are investing nothing in comparison to the us and in comparison to france and germany. the big thing the government needs to do is put their money where their mouth is to make sure these targets are backed by credible plans that allow us to see a pathway to these targets that allow us to see a pathway to decarbonising our economy and levelling up our country in the meantime. , and levelling up our country i...

This is bbc news. the headlines... as borisjohnson meets football officials to find ways of preventing english clubs joining a breakaway european super league, the premier leagues leading all—time scorer calls for those clubs to be thrown out. the super league have chucked a grenade at the premier league and chucked a grenade to everyone else. well, chuck one back. ban them. ban them immediately. the government says its speeding up its target to cut carbon emissions in the uk by 15 years. late...

Height to avoid these. but the helicopter can also use these features as landmarks so it could navigate its way down to the ground. this flight is just the start. in the coming days, the helicopter will begin to fly further afield and it could transform our view of mars. helicopters can cover more ground, can act as scout vehicles, can go into different areas that the rover cant go into. and then they can do co—ordinated science data. future manned missions to mars can utilise a drone helicopt...
