belgian club football suspicion around eighteen matches particularly between two thousand and four and two thousand and six men eventually there was a court case nearly a decade later and their work convictions i remember belgian one of the number one football nation in the world there was seventy finalists at the world cup and now they spot light that they don't need is on them a new wife or have already acted swiftly you if it does not want to be tarnished by this and in the nation's league matches coming up on saturday between georgia and i adore that remove the referee sebastian the ferry i will not charge of that match while the investigations continue. australia's cricketers pulled off an unlikely escaper in the first test against pakistan in the united arab emirates but this time it needed seven wickets on the final day in dubai to win the match but my how i just hundred forty one was central to australia's resistance they finished up on

it's a constant fascination that being bubba has more. it's our closest star but in many ways it's still a mystery the sun has influenced our belief systems our arts our travel and of course it's the basis for life on earth this show at london's science museum looks back at how we used to think about the sun and forwards the challenges like really harnessing its energy with things like solar panels going forward sail energy we are seeing a lot more technological development for the first time it's actually thought it become cheaper than fossil fuels but we do need that push from politics i will say from the everyday population as well the fuel mileage. one idea featured here is how scientists have tried to recreate the nuclear reactions the power of the sun known as nuclear fusion they thought they'd succeeded in the one nine hundred fifty s. but they hadn't and even with the latest machines like this recent prototype nobody's managed to get more energy out than what they put in if you on

a commercial basis is cracked the results can be game changing the amount of energy you can get out from fusing the atoms together into absolutely vast millions and millions of times more efficient than the burning of fossil fuels. one of the main messages from this exhibition is the huge variety of ways in which we humans use the songs movement in its energy for our own benefit but there's a warning as while the sun's activities could pose a real threat to our planet a threat very few people know much about the sun giving us. it's called space weather and in particular solar storms when the sun throws out huge clouds of plasma. as this interactive game shows the phenomenon cannot count satellites in space and power grids here on earth there are things that people are doing so the met office now maintains a twenty four hour space weather forecasting center where they monitor the sun

watching out for the early. signs of one of these major storms and if you get more warning that means you can warn the people who run the existing grid warn satellites you can ground flights to avoid people getting high doses of radiation at high altitude one of these things going up on the ice scientists could get more answers fairly soon and nasa probes set off towards the sun this summer and in twenty twenty the european space agency launches its solar orbiter from its vantage point forty two million kilometers from the sun it could provide clues about what drives the sun's magnetic field. back here on earth the team at the science museum are hoping this exhibition will attract a big audience and some stellar reviews at the barber al jazeera london. well the woman who bid more than one point three million dollars for a painting by the british artist banksy which then shredded itself for the moment of sale has actually gone ahead with the purchase the unnamed european collector said that she was shocked when the ball from half of a girl with

the. lift on russia suspends manned space launches after a soyuz rocket taking two astronauts to the international space station fails midair at least six people are killed after hurricane michael hears through coastal towns in florida before moving on to drench the carolina and archaeologists discover at least fifty eight ancient shipwrecks in an underwater brave yard in greece. turkish security sources have told al jazeera they have definite evidence about what they're calling the killing of saudi journalist. and where it took place they say the information about what happened to the saudi government critic was shared with washington turkey has also announced that a joint turkish saudi team will be formed to investigate this appearance of the father of four who was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul last week

republican senators meanwhile say the u.s. should stop a one hundred ten billion dollar arms deal with riyadh if it's found to have a hand in her disappearance and this should be sanctions at the highest levels the president though seems less willing to act we're going to have more on that in just a moment first though here's this update from stephanie decker outside the saudi consulate in istanbul. the president's spokesperson announcing that a joint working group will be set up between turkey and saudi arabia according to sources at the request of the saudis to carry out an investigation into what happened to you we do understand however that the turks will be carrying out an independent investigation as well they've been waiting to go into the consulate the saudi consulate the from what we understand the saudis have been making that difficult perhaps this working group will mean that there will be some movement on that in the next few days also we understand from intelligence sources security sources that the turks have informed washington of their findings that they firmly

believe that the saudi journalist has been killed and they say they know where it happened this is all part of a wider campaign of leaks by ankara over the last couple of days through the media telling them issuing them what they believe happened to the saudi journalist painting a horrific picture of course we still have no official evidence no official facts in new turkish official who's going on camera to make these allegations but that also highlights and shows you just how sensitive the matter is politically. for president donald trump appears reluctant to take punitive measures against saudi arabia if it is indeed proved responsible for his show is this appearance despite pressure from senators from both parties he's opposed to stopping a u.s. arms deal with riyadh worth one hundred ten billion dollars alan fischer reports from washington. the us president has repeatedly stopped short of blaming saudi

arabia for the disappearance of jamal khashoggi what happened is a terrible thing assuming that happened i mean maybe will be pleasantly surprised but somehow i tend to doubt it and we take it very seriously and don't trump says he opposed any move by u.s. senators to block arm sales in retaliation i don't like the concept of stopping an investment of one hundred ten billion dollars into the united. because you know what they're going to do they're going to take that money and spend their russia or china or someplace else so i think there are other ways if it turns out to be as bad as it might be there are certainly other ways of handling the situation but the president says u.s. investigators are now helping inquiries abroad with a report due in his words very soon but turkey's foreign minister on a trip to iraq says that's not the case but they do want sodhi help because the incident took place in saudi arabia's consulate we're working on this matter that the saudi authorities and they must cooperate with us on this matter we will

announce the results at the end of the investigation a leading republican senator with access to the latest intelligence says he believes jamal khashoggi has been murdered everyone points to saudi arabia and it would appear that he's not a lot about well one democrat says the white house can't talk about what it would do to punish the president trumps unwillingness to set out any consequences or even the threat of consequences essentially tells the saudis that were ok with this kind of conduct and behavior last year so do you really a spent more than twenty seven million dollars to more be in washington a process of seeking to influence politicians and policy in its favor one washington more church says their money can't help them with this saudi arabia is one of the most influential lobbying and p.r. machines in washington d.c. but in this case the facts just speak louder than any lobbyist campaign contributions or any p.r.

spokesperson's talking points possibly could so what good does that do us no donald trump says he's expecting a report in the case he will come under pressure from senators to make it public when he receives it only seems reluctant to take action against the country he's built up as a friend in an ally he might be left with no choice but to act. washington john hendren joins us live now from washington and john a lot of developments over the past twenty four hours or so and it really does seem to be a growing split and tension over sanctions for saudi arabia. that's right barbara for decades u.s. administrations have sought to forge close relationships with saudi arabia and none more so than the administration of president donald trump his first visit outside of the country was to saudi arabia jared cushion or the president's son in law is the liaison to the saudi government and now trump has nothing less than

a domestic political crisis on his hand and a diplomatic crisis all at the same time and that's because the hundred ten billion dollar arms deal he forged while in saudi arabia is now at risk and it's at risk because members of his own party republicans are joining calling for an investigation into this twenty two of them have signed a letter that invokes the magnitsky act now that is an act that was designed to pursue sanctions against russia but it's not russia specific and they wanted investigation into this and if this if the saudi arabian government is guilty of the death of this journalist then they want to begin sanctions and already there are senators who are calling for an end to the arms deal two senators a democrat and a republican chris murphy is the democrat of connecticut and rand paul a republican from kentucky previously last year they were within four votes of ending a saudi arms deal well this time they say they think they have the votes to do that

and that is something that has never been done with an arms deal that has already been agreed to here in the u.s. so president trump is very concerned about the economics of that deal he wants it to go through and he also has his personal relationship at stake and this is something of a rift between congress and the president bob corker the republican head of the senate foreign relations committee said that relations between the u.s. and saudi arabia have never been lower and he said this situation could cause it to in his words go off a cliff and it's very interesting wording the air let's talk a little bit about the state department briefing that happened in the past few hours what came out of that. that's right heather nauert the state department spokesman was asked about this and she didn't have a lot of information but the saudi ambassador has good return to saudi arabia and she has said we have communicated with the saudi ambassador to the united states we

expect information upon his return to the u.s. she goes on to say that we are all concerned about the whereabouts of jamal khashoggi and we have no idea what happened to him she said they will hold back until they get more information but it's very unlikely if the saudi government did this or they're going to come back and fess up to having done so we know that the united states government the trumpet ministration and members of congress have access to intelligence intelligence from turkey that is at least persuaded many in the senate that the saudi the saudi government participated in a murder of christology and that is what is likely to continue to cause concern here at the state department is unlikely to be the actor in this case and this case it looks very much like the u.s. senate is more likely to act on this or handwritten with the latest in washington john thank you.

russia has opened a criminal investigation after a rocket bound for the international space station failed to shortly after takeoff the two man crew an american and the russian survived after making an emergency landing in kazakhstan but it does means that it does mean the current space station crew could be stuck there until january or a challenge from moscow. with the traditional wave of departing spacemen make hay and alexei of gin in said goodbye to worth they'd be back sooner than they thought since the demise of nasa space shuttle program russia's so you system is currently the only way for people to get up to the international space station the russian and the american to begin one hundred and eighty seven days in orbit. but first they have to get there the launch seemed to go well initially the rocket lifted off into the cloudless skies above baikonur kazakstan but one hundred nineteen seconds

into the journey there was a catastrophic malfunction you hear the soyuz making its way into space. inside the capsule video shows the two men being shaken about before the feed is cut to a computer graphic for ourselves we can live in the florida minutes like a five seven reading of. the failure of the book hearing there that there has been an issue with the booster and we're standing by for information the men and their capsule were now in a so-called ballistic re-entry parachuting back to worse they landed in the wide kazakstan step six hundred kilometers away from the launch site the rescue teams found them there helps them out of their confinement and into waiting helicopters but you. were told that this incident requires a more thorough investigation including visits to the manufacturing facilities the

accident occurred on a rocket that had led the incident free history this is very bad news on the other hand the emergency rescue system got excellently and this is good news. in fact two investigations are now underway one looking into what happened and another criminal one to assess whether there was any foul play or negligence involved in the rockets construction rush or is also grounding manned soyuz flights the work course of international space missions until more is known about this catastrophe that will have knock on impact of course the crew currently orbiting on board the international space station will have to stay there a while longer and officials will be looking at whether resupply rocket flights can actually take place but thankfully there was no loss of life in a launch failure that could so easily have been fatal rory chalons al-jazeera moscow. it's going to the u.s. now will hurrican michael has killed at least six people after making a land flop landfall.
