what's up sunshine it's time to shine
happy Friday fry yay let's finish this week strong with a little luck from the Irish on our side as we head into St Patty's Day weekend

let's begin in Russia that's where presidential elections are taking place this weekend

it's the first Russian presidential election to take place over the course of three days

voting has also been organized in four Ukrainian regions that Russia occupied over the course of its ongoing War

President Vladimir Putin who's essentially been in power for the entirety of the 21st century there is the clear front runner

all the candidates in this election running opposite Putin are reliably Pro Kremlin meaning they don't challenge the policies of the current government and don't have popular support

none of them opposed the war in Ukraine

two independent candidates who openly did yarina danova and Boris nadon were barred from running by the central Election Commission which controls which candidates can participate in elections

Putin's approval rating is now at over 80% according to lvat center a non-governmental polling organization

their poll also found at three quarters of Russians somewhat support the war in Ukraine but more than half would prefer peace negotiations

about half of the respondents follow the Ukrainian events

CNN's Matthew chance is in Moscow to cover the elections and will break down the context and the most likely outcome of this vote

well the outcome of Russia's election is already pretty clear

opposition to Vladimir Putin has been silenced

his biggest critic Alexi naly was buried earlier this month after dying suddenly in an Arctic penal colony amid widescale repressions

even mourners laying flowers at his memorial hundreds of them were dragged Away by the police

earlier this week nal's Chief of Staff in Exile was attacked with a hammer outside his home

well this Russian election is also of course taking place against the backdrop of a brutal war in Ukraine with huge casualties on both sides

Russia has been gaining the upper hand amid Ukrainian shortages of weapons and ammunition

but recent dates have seen Ukraine Step Up drone attacks inside Russia hitting Russian oil facilities in a bid to cause economic damage

ukraine-based paramilitary groups opposed to the Kremlin have also been staging dramatic crossborder raids to try and make sure that as Russia's elections get underway and ordinary Russians feel the impact of the kremlin's Ukraine war

you think there's anybody left in this country who is able to challenge Vladimir Putin

there's always people who who not support uh Vladimir Putin and even alexe naali now is dead there's always hope and I believe that if we don't have uh it now but someday maybe 10-second trivia

the first privately funded rocket to launch into space was in which year 1969 1977 82 or 99

let's take it back to the 80s because on September 9th 1982 the commercial space age began with the launch of Koga 1 it was privately funded by a small Houston based company called space Services Inc of America

on Thursday morning SpaceX launched the most powerful rocket in the world it's called Starship

he that rocket Roar as the company's third attempted launch in about a year was considered a success for the company even though they lost communication with the craft before it crashed back to Earth

that's because the mission reached several Milestones including making it further into this test flight than ever before

the first attempted launch of Starship last April ended in a midair explosion and a second attempt in November started promisingly but ended prematurely with an explosion and a loss of signal

as these tests continue the goal of Starship is to assist NASA's Artemis program where it hopes to land us astronauts on the moon as early as September of 2026

SpaceX also believes Starship can be an integral part in the company's aspirations to eventually bring humans to Mars

during the month of March women's history month we are highlighting seminal women who've transformed the world in profound ways

and today we want to recognize environmental activist wangari Maathai

she was the first woman from Africa to win the Nobel Peace Prize she dedicated her life to advocating for the protection of the environment and empowering Africa's most impoverished people

Maathai founded the green belt movement in Kenya which helped plant more than 30 million trees there an effort that inspired the United Nations to start its own campaign planting about 11 billion trees worldwide

Maathai's tree planting efforts weren't just about protecting the environment they also provided locals especially women with the ability to earn money by selling seeds and access to resources for cooking and clean water

next we want to recognize Lisa Meitner her knowledge in physics changed the world

Meitner and her colleagues learned that splitting atoms releases large amounts of energy and she was the first person to describe and name the process of nuclear fission in a scientific paper

though she first worked as a physics professor in Germany she had to flee from the Nazi regime there because of her Jewish ancestry

later she was asked to work on the Manhattan Project which was a program during World War 2 to help develop the first nuclear weapons

but Meitner refused to take part on any collaboration of this program and stated I will have nothing to do with a bomb

today the scientific Community continues to acknowledge her brilliance by naming multiple prestigious physics Awards after her and guess what there's even a chemical element named after her M
