Morning all, it's Kasmira, editor-in-chief of Geneva Solutions, with a story today about Bryan Stevenson, a US human rights lawyer who has spent his career in the pursuit of racial equality and reform of the US criminal justice system.
In his interview, he invites the United Nations and other international bodies to look outside of New York and Washington D.C. to understand the real American story and the essential challenges facing democracy and basic human rights in the US today.

The dawn of an interplanetary internet
The competition around telecommunications is fiercer than ever, so what a surprise to see Nokia, former leader in mobile phones, winning the deal for a brand new market: to install, with Nasa, a 4G network on the Moon, to allow communication when humans will (one day hopefully) live there.
But this news might already look a bit outdated, because 5G is already around the corner on Earth (although The 4G equipment on the Moon can be updated to a super-fast 5G network in the future, Nokia said). But also because of another announcement: during an online Time magazine event, Gwynne Shotwell, the president of SpaceX, disclosed that the company would deploy a communication satellites constellation around… Mars, making of the Moon just a relay. The dawn of an interplanetary internet.

its president says: “Once we take people to Mars, they’re going to need a capability to communicate”.
