the remove debris spacecraft could be the answer, the world's first attempt to test how we can clean—up celestial clutter. it will see if it's possible to snare a satellite in a net and review how effective a harpoon is. it will then bring everything back down, burning up as it enters the earth's atmosphere. it's been assembled in surrey and it's cost £15 million. this is the last chance to see it before it's packed up for its launch early next year. this is the remove debris platform and it's going to be one of the world's first missions to actually demonstrate cleaning up space junk. this mission is incredibly important. we have technologies on here that have never been demonstrated in space before and it's urgent that we actually launch this mission now so we can develop these technologies for use in the future. since the early days of exploration the area around the earth has grown more and more cluttered. it's estimated there are about 7,500 tonnes ofjunk, made up of old bits of rocket, fragments from defunct spacecraft,

even tools dropped by an astronaut. scientists believe there are now half a million pieces of debris the size of a marble or bigger and each piece has the potential to do some serious damage. last year the international space station was hit. this chip in a window was caused when it was struck by a tiny fleck of paint. but the bigger pieces ofjunk are a more pressing problem. this european satellite, the size of a double decker bus, suddenly stopped working in 2012. since then, it's been circling the earth, threatening other key satellites in its path. the problem is going to grow. it's going to grow because collisions are going to take place in the orbital environment. we're going to lose the satellites that we rely on. that's going to be costly to us, it's going to be costly to the future generation. all eyes are now trained on the remove debris spacecraft. if the technology works, the hope is future missions can be scaled up and the space

clean—up can begin. rebecca morelle, bbc news. newsnight is coming up on bbc two. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. good evening. welcome to bbc london news. tonight — the vulnerable young women who are being treated like slaves behind closed doors. that's the view of one au pair agency in the capital. a bbc london investigation has found that some au pairs are being exploited and even bullied by their host families, who are supposed to be looking after them. we have this special report. some on this march are strangers. almost all are foreign au pairs. they have come to support each other and make a stand against exploitation and abuse.

normally play, and i think the first half was poor, poor performance, and thenit half was poor, poor performance, and then it is difficult to come back. it is true that the game was very open, but it is true that we started very sloppy, and it is difficult in this way to win games. things are going good. the manager says we are still a work in progress which we all agree with, and we just need to keep making sure we work hard for him, taking on what he says of the training field and taking it into the games. we look forward to burnley on saturday, having picked up burnley on saturday, having picked up nine now. crystal palace earned their first away point of the season with a 0—0 draw at brighton. roy hodgson will be the happier of the two managers — palace had lost all of their last six away games, and let in 13 goals. brighton slip down to 10th in the premier league while palace stay bottom. west brom letter two score—mac lead slip to newcastle, ciaran clark

forthcoming matches. although ben stokes is suspended from england duty it is understood they would be happy for him to play for at side in new zealand, so it is another intriguing development in this ongoing saga. that was andy swiss in adelaide for us. tiger woods has spoken to the media ahead of the first round of the hero world challenge in the bahamas on thursday. woods will return to competitive golf for the first time in almost 10 months at the event after recovering from another back injury. the 1a time major winner says he's spent most of the last two years in bed but is now pain free. i don't know. i'm winging this by ear, because i don't know what my body can and can't do yet. ijust got the go—ahead a little over a month ago to start letting it go, but i still don't know. as i was saying to you guys, i don't have any pain any more in my back but i still do have some stiffness. no duh! its
