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. the islamist preacher anjem choudary has been been released from prison on licence. he has served half of a five year sentence handed down to him in 2016, for inviting support for the islamic state group.

the bbc understands there will be restrictions on his movements and he'll be closely monitored by the security services. our home affairs correspondent june kelly reports. within hours of coming out of prison, anjem choudary was back in a familiar place — in front of the cameras. he can be seen not heard. he's banned from speaking to the media. this probation hostel in north london is where he is initially being housed. it was before dawn when he was driven across the capital from belmarsh top security prison. during his time inside, he hasn't changed his views, according to counter—extremism specialists. he's become hardened in his own extremism and in his own radicalised opinions. there have been numerous attempts to try to de—radicalise choudary as part of the pastoral care service with imams in prison services — they've got nowhere.
3:32 am
the whole world one day, my dear brothers, will be under the sharia, including hackney and walthamstow and moscow and new york, all of the country, insha'allah, under the thumb of the muslims... for two decades, anjem choudary was clear about the world he wanted to see. a master manipulator, it was at the centre of a network of violent extremists. michael adebolajo was one of the pair who murdered fusilier lee rigby. another choudary disciple is suspected of being part of an is killing squad. the former head of counter—terrorism at scotland yard believes choudary‘s influence outstripped his character. i think we've got to be careful not to overstate him. he is a pathetic groomer of others and should be seen as such. and i think we all have to be very careful about not over—inflating his status and giving him some sort of mythical evil genius type character, because that's not what he is.
3:33 am
choudary will be subject to a long list of conditions, and supervising him will cost a lot of public money. as part of the restrictions, he'll have to wear a tag and be under a curfew. he is banned from preaching and organising meetings. he can only see people who are approved and he's banned from meeting anyone with a terror connection. and he'll have to get permission to go on the internet. i've worked with a lot of families and one of the families i work with, he's absolutely ruined their lives, one of their kids has been killed in syria, one of the nephews has been killed in syria, her daughter was about to abscond to syria, the family is upside down. he's responsible for that so he shouldn't have been released in such a short time. as the law stands, he was eligible for release now. and the restrictions on him will last only a couple of years. in a few minutes it'll be time for newswatch. but first, here's click.

woman on radio: all systems are ready. ignition. japan has just done something amazing. it has flown a spaceship to a one—kilometre—wide near—earth asteroid called ryugu to do some incredible science. this is hayabusa2. it has just deployed three rovers onto ryugu's surface — will
3:35 am
the german and french mascot probe on 3 october, and before that, the japanese minerva ii robot. their mission: to measure temperature and magnetic properties, and take photos of the surface. and amazingly, this is how they get about. yep, they bounce. i have come to the japanese aerospace exploration agency, jaxa, to meet the team who designed the mission and get my head around this bonkers mode of transport. in summary, this hops off the surface of an asteroid, it jumps about 10—15 metres into space, it stays... off the surface for about 15 minutes, and then comes back down... bounce and bounce and bounce.
3:36 am
the images already returned by the minerva ii bots are wowing the world, but the risks they face are high. we did not have much budget, so we did not use very expensive devices. the rover hops and then bounce and bounce, so in that moment, the mechanicalfailure would happen, so something was broken. so this is a replica of hayabusa2. and believe it or not, deploying the landers is not even the coolest thing that this is going to do, in my opinion — because this 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.
3:37 am
and then a little later, a second landing will collect more soil. if we can get the organic matter, we can study what kind of organic matter were exist, when the earth was born. now... that is a model of hayabusa2 there. 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 part? there are lots of boulders. big and small. we cannot find a wide area with no boulders. so that is our main issue. assuming all does go well, next year hayabusa2 is going to go one better and try to collect soil from under the surface. and it is going to do that by using an explosive to blow a hole in the asteroid! and then, in one final
3:38 am
heroic act of science, it is going to fly back to earth and return the soil samples to jaxa scientists, possibly to help them unlock the secrets of life itself. we don't know where the life was born. it may be on the earth, or it may be in the universe. we don't know that. so we want to study the original organic matter that exist 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 turns its attention to ceatec, japan's big tech show, which is a fascinating glimpse into the direction this country is taking its innovation. this is notjust another tech expo.
3:39 am
it is quirky. yes, that is a sort of green pea alexa. and how about replacing alarm clocks with blowing air from the ceiling to wake us up? even though you don't like to be woken up. it is like somebody quietly going... laughs. so it is just a question of us finding what we think could be the next big thing. you know what it is like. you are stuck behind a car and you can't overtake, because, you just can't see beyond that vehicle. well this car might be able to help you. it is fitted with a demonstration of a new technology called xtravue, and it means that you can see through the car ahead using its camera rather than yours.
3:40 am
the vision of makers valeo is that the live stream from cameras in our cars will be available to everyone within a certain area. the forthcoming 5g cell network will make this tech more workable. imagine not having to guess what it could possibly be that's holding you up. horn honks. lucky escape! here is another angle on cars from mitsubishi. as the viewer changes position, so the car and lighting effects shift with them. obviously the car would not move like this in real life. what it would do is that as you move around it, the lighting and reflections would change, and that is what this is trying to demonstrate. the hope in the future is that it can be used on billboards so that the objects within them glint and shine as you pass by, as 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. does it look as though
3:41 am
the headlights are following you around the room? look up and see how natural these skylights look. up until now, if you wanted a fake window, the fitting would contain either a blue light or blue glass or perspex. there is actually no blue light behind here, it is just two white leds either side, with suspended diffusers, mitsubishi describes them as, in between, to replicate the way that natural light comes through the atmosphere. they won't give us any more information, and they say it is about 2—five years away before something like this could be it is about 2—5 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! japan is on the cusp of a tv first. this is sharp's very impressive second generation 8k tv on sale next month. but the real news is that the broadcasting of 8k starts
3:42 am
on the ist of december this year by the national broadcaster, nhk, so there will be something to watch. oh, no, hang on. 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's easier 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. and we'll finish with something mind blowing, eye—popping, and jawdropping. i can't even walk in. it's messing with my perspective. this is borderless. the latest otherworldly experience from digital art collective teamlab. this amazing space is their first permanent home in odaiba in tokyo. a 10,000 square metre magical transcendent world of projected art that's never the same twice. this is just astonishing.
3:43 am
it really is alive. the exhibits react to your presence and your touch. nothing is just played on loop. everything is changing and reacting all the time. behind the scenes, 520 computers and a70 projectors bring to life the work of cg! artists, engineers, and architects. 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 an animal, scan it in, and it comes to life, joining the user generated menagerie that is flying, swimming, and crawling the floors and walls. the other reason it's called borderless — thanks to all the mirrors some
3:44 am
of the works seem to go on forever. it's 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. thank you so much for watching. we will see you soon.
