saudi arabia has confirmed that the missing journalist jamal khashoggi died during his visit to the country's consulate in istanbul earlier this month. saudi state media said a fight that broke out between the journalist and the people he met at the consulate led to his death. at least 60 people have died and more than 200 have been injured in northern india, as a commuter train ploughed into them near the city of amritsar. a religious festival had been taking place and it's believed people didn't hear the train approaching. hundreds of central american migrants travelling in a mass caravan to the united states have tried to breach mexico's southern border and enter the country. the migrants broke through guatemalan border fences — but were halted by police as they streamed onto a bridge leading to mexico. now on bbc news, click. this week, bouncing box, leaping
1:31 am
lights, and hence bringing humans. all systems are ready. japan is -- has just all systems are ready. japan is -- hasjust done something all systems are ready. japan is -- has just done something amazing. it has just done something amazing. it has flown a spaceship to a one kilometre wide near earth asteroid called ryugu to do some incredible
1:32 am
science. this is hayabusa2. it has just deployed three rovers on tobacco three's surface. —— onto ryugu's surface. the german and french mascot probe on october third and before that the japanese minerva ii robot. their mission to determine asset —— atmospheric properties and ta ke p hotos asset —— atmospheric properties and take photos of the surface. and amazingly this is how they get about. yes, they bounce. i have come to the japanese aerospace exploration agency, to meet the team who designed the mission and get my head around this bonkers mode of transport. in summary, this hot softer surface of an asteroid it jumps aboutio— 15 softer surface of an asteroid it jumps about 10— 15 metres into space, it stays... off the surface
1:33 am
for about 15 minutes, and then comes back down on... bounce and bounce and downs. the images already returned by the minerva ii robot are wowing the world, but the risks are high. what are the biggest risks with these rovers? actually, so we did not have much budget, so we did not use a very expensive device. the rover hops and then bounce and bounce, so in that moment, the mechanicalfailure bounce, so in that moment, the mechanical failure would happen, something was broken. so another issueis something was broken. so another issue is the temperature. the asteroid is rotating, so the temperature gets down to below —100 degrees, i don't know exactly, but
1:34 am
thatis degrees, i don't know exactly, but that is also a big problem for the devices. so this is a replica of hayabusa2. and believe it or not, deploying the lenders is not even the coolest thing that this is going to do. in my opinion. because this is going to land on the asteroid, ta ke is going to land on the asteroid, take a soil sample, and then take off again. which i think is absolutely incredible. the first attempted landing is hopefully going to happen very soon —— by the end of october. then a little later, a second landing will collect more soil. we think that there are organic matters on the surface of asteroid. so if we can get the organic matter, we can study what kind of organic matter would exist, when the earth was born. now... that
1:35 am
isa when the earth was born. now... that is a model of hayabusa2, it looks very delicate to me, and you are going to try and land that on an asteroid. what are the risks, and what is the most risky path? the most risky part is the surface of ryugu is not smooth. we imagine we can see it as a battery, maybe it is covered by sand, but in fact the photo that minerva sent us, there are photo that minerva sent us, there a re lots of photo that minerva sent us, there are lots of boulders. big and small. we cannot find a wide area without boulders. so that is our main issue. assuming all does go well, next year hayabusa2is assuming all does go well, next year hayabusa2 is going to go one better and try and collect soil from under the surface. and it is going to do that by using an explosive to blow a
1:36 am
hole in the asteroid! and then, in one final heroic act of science, it is going to fly back to earth and returned a soil samples to jaxa scientists, possibly to help them unlock the secrets of life itself. we don't know where life was born. it may be on the earth, it may be in the universe. we don't know that. so we wa nt the universe. we don't know that. so we want to study the original organic matter that exists when the solar system was born. thank you very much for your time. very best of luck. thank you very much. he is going to lend a space ship on an asteroid and then take off and fly back to earth! now every year in october, the tech world turned its attention to ceatec, japan‘s big
1:37 am
tech show, which is a fascinating glimpse into the direction this country is taking its innovation. emily and down on the show floor and here is the first part of their ceatec tour. this is notjust another tech expo. it is quirky. yes, that is a sort of green pea alexa. and how about replacing an alarm clock with blowing air from the ceiling to wake us up? even though you don't like to be woken up. it is like somebody crying, going, (laughs). so it isjusta question of us finding what we think could be the next big thing. you know what it is like, you are stuck behind a carand know what it is like, you are stuck behind a car and you can't overtake, because, it just behind a car and you can't overtake, because, itjust can't see beyond that vehicle. well this car might be able to help you. it is fitted with
1:38 am
able to help you. it is fitted with a demonstration of a new technology called extra view and it means that you can see through the car ahead using its camera rather than yours. the vision of its makers is that the live stream from cameras in our cars will be available to everyone within a certain area. the forthcoming five g cell network will make this take more workable. imagine not having to guess what it could possibly be that is holding you up. lucky escape! here is another angle on cars from mitsubishi. as the viewer changes position, so the karen lighting shipped with them. obviously the car would not move like this in real life. what it would do is that as you move around at the lighting and reflections would change, and that is what this is trained to demonstrate. the hope in the future is that it can be used on billboards so is that it can be used on billboards so that the objects within them glynde and shine as you pass by as
1:39 am
if they were really there. but you had better hope it is a quiet street because at the moment it only works with one person. that look as though the headlights are following you around the room? look up and see how unnatural these are skylights look. up unnatural these are skylights look. up until now if you wanted a fake window, a fitting would contain either a blue light or blue glass or perspex. there is actually no blue light behind here, it isjust perspex. there is actually no blue light behind here, it is just two white led lights either side, with suspended diffusers, mitsubishi describes them as, in between, to replicate the way that natural light comes through the atmosphere. there will not give us any more information and they say it is about to— five years away before something like this could be installed in our homes hospitals, or maybe even the underground, to give us a little bit of extra natural light. it is almost like i am expecting to see outside!
1:40 am
while dan is busy seeing the light, i found myself talking to trees. something you might not expect to see at tech show is a bonsai tree, oi’ see at tech show is a bonsai tree, or should i say, a bons—ai. the tree, or maybe it is just a fancy pot, will automatically move towards light, let you know that needs water, and even of a wide —— wise words of advice to its owners. water, and even of a wide —— wise words of advice to its ownerslj find words of advice to its owners.” find out what it needs and then i go ahead and invented. that is what thomas and anderson said. —— thomas edison said. only in japan. this could be one of the standout technologies of ceatec this year. the ability to detect cancer through a you're in sample. and hitachi is saying they can detect cancer in its early stages and tell you what kind it is. it works for breast cancer, along cancer, bowel cancer and some public cancers, paediatric cancers.
1:41 am
initial tests will very positive, more testing needs to be done, how long will it take to get into surgeries will be the question eve ryo ne surgeries will be the question everyone is asking. such an important development. in japan everyone is asking. such an important development. injapan we are thinking 1—2 years. to get through the formal stages of a cce pta nce through the formal stages of acceptance by the government. in other countries like the united states, if hitachi decided is in tests there, this could be available to the public within the next 3—4 months. advances in mass strip on —— mass spectrometry and machinery have made the bio marketing year in that change with cancer more easy to detect. and it is hoped as reliable asa detect. and it is hoped as reliable as a blood test. obviously it needs as a blood test. obviously it needs a whole lab set up to do the testing at the moment but the future maybe five, ten years down the road, hitachi up or any talking to a toilet manufacturer to put the testing element of this technology into toilets. so we could get a
1:42 am
situation where every time we go to the bathroom, we could get a result to test and check for any early stages of cancer. hello and welcome to the week intact. it was a busy week robots, with boston dynamics‘ atlas showing off its parkour skills, pepper the robot a vest —— addressed the uk parliament, and a robot coat taught a class at us military academy westpoint. it had previously passed a college test in california on the philosophy of love. the co—founder of microsoft paul allen pass away this week after a recurrence of cancer. bill gates paid tribute to his former partner saying microsoft would never have happened without him. he engaged in the seventh grade and started the company in 1975. an

automated system has been developed to detect dense as tissue in mammograms and is said to be as reliable as a radiologist. research has developed a deep learning model which was used on real patients in a clinical setting. the automated system clinical setting. the automated syste m ca n clinical setting. the automated system can significantly reduce the amount of time spent on image and analysis. mit also announced they would be putting $1 billion into a new college to artificial intelligence. the school will open next year and has a student with expertise in fields as diverse as chemistry and history with machine learning courses. and finally the power of electricity has been harnessed to keep your chewing gum fresh as you chew, by zapping your tongue. it is apparently pain—free and is called" unlimited electric gum". when it is chewed the gum creates a small current which tricks the tongue into experiencing different taste. now to california, where richard

taylor has been looking at adobe‘s creative vision of the future. whether it is a intelligently and making your flat 2—d photos so they appear to have depth, cropping your regular videos to keep the important action in frame for vertical video sites like instagram or making smart selections of objects inside your videos to realise an artistic vision. this isjust a videos to realise an artistic vision. this is just a few of the ideas dreamt up by the engineers. even though they may not all make it into the product pipeline, they are designed to inspire the creative community, making their pilgrimage to the company‘s annual shindig. this year the message from adobe is not just about creatives, this year the message from adobe is notjust about creatives, it is about all of us. the silicon valley softwa re about all of us. the silicon valley software giant now says it is easier than everfor us software giant now says it is easier than ever for us to express ourselves whenever and wherever inspiration strikes. reddy? a better example of this is probably
1:45 am
the upcoming photoshopped for ipad. notjust a cut down version, the full disk version cut down for a screen. they do show up on the ipad will make apple users happy, but they could have put this before —— photoshopped for. there are rival apps that are pretty impressive. to be honest, i think they are beating adobe at their own game. accelerating our creativity is another big push. adobe has put senseiat another big push. adobe has put sensei at the heart of it. here, a pretty‘s a terrific software is able to re m ove pretty‘s a terrific software is able to remove a horse from a moving scene injust a to remove a horse from a moving scene in just a few clicks. something which previously would have been pretty challenging if you are not a pro. dzhyma a aytek lies behind it is mobile video editing out. it brings in several features like audio climo. premier russia is a somewhat ironic and given they have largely dragged their feet at serving the youtube generation until 110w. serving the youtube generation until now. we don't ship out until we are
1:46 am
ready. it has taken years to make sure we can have a phone, tablet, desktop, cloudburst experience where customers can pick up where they left off across different services and make professional grade quality output. the other buzz right now is around ar. project airroad makes creating these augmented reality experiences more intense. you can drag and drop into the apa and and separate out the layers. it is a particular interest in retail. brands are interested in exporting. adobe is keenly aware that the currency of its own brand is its ability to keep one step ahead of the condition. that was rich. back to japan. here at the research labs of the largest mobile network operator, something he was about to take. it is big,
1:47 am
flashy, and rather noisy —— something new is about to take off. what could it possibly be? it is a flying display. yes, this is the world‘s first spherical drone displayed. the external frame world‘s first spherical drone displayed. the externalframe is made of eight rotating strips, each consisting of 320 leds, which when spun rapidly create the illusion of a solid sphere. we would like to make a new special platform to present our information anywhere in the sky, for advertisements, or entertainment, or guidance in a disaster. of course, everything about this technology will have to get smaller, more reliable, and longer lasting before it becomes useful. at the moment, this thing can stay up for a maximum of three
1:48 am
minutes. ok, now it is time to pop back to ceatec to see what emily and anne have done for us this time. —— dan. this is notjust a great ride. as one of the persistence to use on eight k projector baa—baas on the way curved mirror to give us this immersive experience. -- above us. it is quite small. you can pack, it is quite portable, you can take it anywhere. they are hoping they can use this to go around to hospitals and places that maybe don‘t have access to go to the cinema or a theme park. laughter. time for me to get ready for tokyo 2020. this is fidgety‘s 3—d sensing technology. a laser is scanning my body every second to pick up on
1:49 am
different points and joints. these are then turned into a 3—d representation that can be played back frame by frame. and it is hoped that this technology will be used to helpjudges that this technology will be used to help judges evaluate jimna singh conditions in the future. it can also help gymnasts hone their technique, given site to live audiences through it up, and to be used in physiotherapy —— guinness. slick moves, but take a look at theirs. japan is on the cusp of atv burst. this is sharp‘s hk tv on sale next month. but the real news is that the broadcasting of 8k starts on the first of december this year by the national broadcaster, so there will be something to watch. no, hang on. this is definitely something to watch. yes, ok, ok,
1:50 am
virtual baseball was a bit hit. homerun! and miss. and i wasn‘t having much luck with virtual fishing either. it‘s heavy. this setup by cao university means they could be at home while the fishing rod that is copying my movements is out at sea. that may of course mean that dinner is a little late. if emily has no luck catching those robot fish she might like to try the robots at this store. alo? hello. the overenthusiastic shop assistant. lawson is a big firm injapan. similarto lawson is a big firm injapan. similar to tesco back home. they serve food, but what they are finding is that the population in japan is decreasing, the working population, so fewer people able to work in stores. so our shopper assistant will knock us up a salad according to our allergies or health concerns, she will know that is
1:51 am
automatically in the future. in a few years time lawson would like to introduce these cooking robots to cook us something to live in store as we shop. today, dumplings are on the menu. now another thing that might be of interest to japan‘s ageing population are these. they may look like normal glasses, but if i press the touch sensor on the side, you may have seen a little flash, and what that was was liquid crystals inside the glasses shifting orientation and changing the focus, meaning it is easy to see things close up, just like bifocals. now, the upside of these is that you can then turn them off and goes back to your regular prescription. so how are we going to decide who has found the best tech this year? let's at the best tech this year? let's at the creepy ra bat the best tech this year? let's at the creepy rabat come shop assistant make the loser look silly. got a little bunny back to go with it. make the loser look silly. got a little bunny back to go with itm
1:52 am
is just what i wanted. —— little bunny back to go with itm isjust what i wanted. —— bag. beautiful, just beautiful. and we will finish with something mind blowing, eye—popping, and jawdropping. i can‘t even walk in. it is messing with my perspective. this is borderless. the latest otherworldly experience from a digital art collective. this amazing spaceis digital art collective. this amazing space is theirfirst digital art collective. this amazing space is their first permanent home in tokyo. 10,000 square metre magical transcendent while the projected art that is never the same twice. this is just astonishing. twice. this isjust astonishing. it twice. this is just astonishing. it really is alive. the exhibits react to your presence and your touch. nothing is just played on that. everything is
1:53 am
changing and reacting all the time. —— played on a loop. behind the scenes, 520 computers and 407 the project is bring to life the work of cj project is bring to life the work of cj artis, engineers, and architects -- cgi. cj artis, engineers, and architects —— cgi. even in the capecchi brakes are living works of art. all of the drinks, come with a white foamy topping, that is because when you put them down flowers bloom on your beverage, floating away as you sip. make artworks and others, it is also no boundaries. it is not made by materials. for us it is paint, light, the cameras are everywhere. it certainly is borderless. some of the art just doesn‘t stay it certainly is borderless. some of the artjust doesn‘t stay put. characters leave their point of origin and wander into other rooms and across other works. visitors even get their chance to add their own art to the exhibition. colour
1:54 am
and animal, scan it in, and it comes to life, joining the user generated menagerie that is flying, swimming, and trawling the floors and walls. —— rawling. the other reason it is called borderless, thanks to all the mirrors some of the works seem to go on forever. it is certainly a place where time becomes irrelevant, until you really have to leave. and that is it from japan for this week. i cannot think of a better way to end the programme. don‘t forget, we live on facebook and on twitter and we will put up loads of backstage photos and videos there. the address is @bbcclick. think you so much for watching. we will see you soon. hello.

the weekend is upon us and the weather overall is not looking bad at all across most of the uk. all of us should get some sunshine at least at one point or another, but there will be some fog around on saturday morning, and also on sunday. let‘s have a look at the forecast, through the early hours and the weather is a little bit split. in the north—west of the country we have freshening wind, clouds are streaming in, there is a weather front approaching so there are some fog problems here. further south we will have clear skies and the temperature will dip down to maybe 2—3 degrees above freezing. perhaps across parts of the midlands and into wales fog could be thick, it could affect some of the country routes, there could be some delays, some delays at airports as well. bearthat in mind across england and wales.
1:56 am
a lot of sunshine for many of us and just in one or two spots the fog may linger but in the north—west of the country we have those stronger winds with that weather front approaching, outbreaks of rain for a time in the western isles, in the south much lighter winds, you can see the windspeed arrows here. temperatures around 17 in london for example, very pleasant indeed. even 17 expected in aberdeen on saturday of afternoon. saturday night into sunday, weather front still very close to the north—west of the country, a new one coming in bringing some fresh rain and fresher conditions. to the south of that we still have high pressure, meaning the weather is looking very decent for the rest of the day, fog in the morning could be a problem on sunday. the weather front is a very weak one, it moves across, you can make out this line of cloud, that is a weather front behind it, it is starting to freshen with some cooler air coming from the north which heralds a change for next week. once this weather front moves
1:57 am
through, you can see it here, behind this area of high pressure the wind is blowing like so, that cooler atlantic air is coming in. let‘s have a look at the forecast for monday, we are further away from the high pressure here in scotland so weather fronts are coming in. here we have those settled conditions but there is quite a brisk wind blowing out of the north—west, quite gusty around some of the coasts. the temperature is quite a bit lower, 13 in london, whether you are in the south or the north it should be around 13 degrees. a quick outlook into next week, a lot of dry weather without high pressure close by, a lot of sunshine with further morning mist and fog turning a bit cooler later in the week.
