camilla leave king charles and queen camilla leave bordeaux as they wrap up their three—day state visit to france. scientists and star gazers will have their eyes fixed on the skies above the us state of utah this weekend. a capsule — containing rocks and dust from an asteroid — is due to plummet from space at more than 15 times the speed of a rifle bullet. it will be the dramatic finale of a seven—year mission to reach the asteroid, collect the samples and bring them back to earth. scientists hope that samples will shed light on how our planet formed, more than four billion years ago. our science editor rebecca morelle has the details. asteroid bennu, a boulder—strewn rock hurtling through space, the target of a seven year nasa mission. after travelling billions of miles, captured on camera the moment the osiris—rex spacecraft collected its sample in a smash and grab lasting just five seconds.
7:31 pm
these bits of bennu were stowed in a capsule. now they're heading back to earth. we're looking at material that existed before our planet did. in fact, some of it may have been from even before the solar system formed. so we're looking at the beginning of our story. how did our solar system form, how did asteroids come together? and did asteroids like bennu literally make the earth a habitable world? the capsule�*s landing site is a vast wilderness, a military base in the utah desert. asteroid bennu is 500 meters in size, taller metres in size, taller than the empire state building. it's shaped like a spinning top, bulging at its middle. and although it looks solid, it's actually a pile of rubble loosely held together with a little bit of gravity. but bennu tops the list of nasa's most dangerous space rocks. its orbit around the sun can bring it close to the earth —
7:32 pm
sometimes dangerously close. and the chance of a collision is one in 1,750. that's like tossing a coin and getting 11 heads in a row. and the 24th of september 2182 is the date it's most likely to hit. it's a very low likelihood of hitting the earth, and that's more than 100 years in the future. but it's really important to characterise its orbit, to understand its physical properties, so that if we do need to do anything to deflect asteroid bennu or another asteroid in the future, we are prepared and have all of the information that we can. the return won't be easy. the capsule will speed through the earth's atmosphere at more than 27,000mph before descending down to the ground, slowed by parachutes. the nasa team has been practising in the desert, working out the best way to recover the craft after it comes down. it's vital to keep the extraterrestrial material
7:33 pm
inside free from contamination. all eyes are now on this patch of utah desert ready for the landing. the hope is this mission could answer that most profound question. rebecca morelle, bbc news, utah. live now to utah, where we can speak to arn—jani polit, who's a senior systems engineer with the university of arizona's lunar and planetary laboratory — and serves as mission implementation systems engineerfor the 0siris—rex mission. and we can now talk to richard greenwood, a meteorite researcher at the open university, who's involved in the analysis of asteroid samples. so, anjani, it's an extraordinary process, so how did you manage it

blowing nitrogen gas into the surface to direct the sample into the sampling had, and then backing away from the asteroid. but the asteroid �*s surface as well responded in a way we did not expect. responded in a way we did not exect. �* . ., . ., expect. amazing, now richard greenwood. — expect. amazing, now richard greenwood, let _ expect. amazing, now richard greenwood, let me _ expect. amazing, now richard greenwood, let me bring - expect. amazing, now richard greenwood, let me bring you| expect. amazing, now richard | greenwood, let me bring you in expect. amazing, now richard - greenwood, let me bring you in here. as we understand it, this capture is now hurtling its way back to earth, and then there is going to be a queue of more than 200 scientists who want to get their hands on some of this rock from the meteorite, or particles from the meteorite. and you are one of them. are you hoping to get a hold of a bit of the dust? we are, yeah, we are part of the very— we are, yeah, we are part of the verylarge— we are, yeah, we are part of the very large mobile team of scientists. i'm so excited that we will get _ scientists. i'm so excited that we will get our— scientists. i'm so excited that we will get our hands on some of this material— will get our hands on some of this material and do some analysis, and we really— material and do some analysis, and we really keen to find out how this material _ we really keen to find out how this material fits in with the other extraterrestrial materials we've

7:38 pm
there is a risk to earth, we understand it and have plenty of time to respond to it. the risks are very low, but asteroid bennu is currently the most hazardous asteroid that we know about. {lilia currently the most hazardous asteroid that we know about. ok, so definitely want _ asteroid that we know about. ok, so definitely want to _ asteroid that we know about. ok, so definitely want to keep _ asteroid that we know about. ok, so definitely want to keep your - asteroid that we know about. ok, so definitely want to keep your eye - asteroid that we know about. ok, so definitely want to keep your eye on, | definitely want to keep your eye on, and richard, i mean we get a sense from you how excited you are to be getting very up close and personal to parts of bennu. ida. getting very up close and personal to parts of bennu.— to parts of bennu. no, really. we have been — to parts of bennu. no, really. we have been studying _ to parts of bennu. no, really. we have been studying the _ to parts of bennu. no, really. we have been studying the asteroid l have been studying the asteroid for two years. — have been studying the asteroid for two years, and we sort of have a broad _ two years, and we sort of have a broad idea — two years, and we sort of have a broad idea of what it could be like. in broad idea of what it could be like. in fact _ broad idea of what it could be like. in fact because of its weakness, it would _ in fact because of its weakness, it would never survive entry into the earth's _ would never survive entry into the earth's atmosphere on its own, it is very likely— earth's atmosphere on its own, it is very likely to — earth's atmosphere on its own, it is very likely to be quite unique. obviously— very likely to be quite unique. obviously until that capsule is opened — obviously until that capsule is opened and we get a chance to study it, opened and we get a chance to study it. we _ opened and we get a chance to study it, we really— opened and we get a chance to study it, we really don't know what we are going to _ it, we really don't know what we are going to get. so it's enormously exciting — going to get. so it's enormously excitina. �* going to get. so it's enormously excitina. . . ., ., , exciting. and, an'ani, finally. the ent into exciting. and, an'ani, finally. the entry into the — exciting. and, anjani, finally. the entry into the earth _ exciting. and, anjani, finally. the entry into the earth 's _

7:40 pm
against sexual harassment went on trial on subversion charges today along with a labour rights activist, in the latest example of beijing's crackdown on civil society. women's rights advocate, haeun, and wang tianbing were detained two years ago in the southern city of guangzhou. diplomats from several western countries, including britain and the united states, had asked to attend the trial as observers, but were not allowed into court. elaine, thank you so much for talking to us about this. can you give us a little bit more detail about what happened today? yeah, so this was a pile that is two years in the making. these two activists were very prominent in the me to movement, they were picked up two
7:41 pm
years ago as you said on charges of subversion. we know very little actually about the trial because the evidence has been kept secret. we do know that they didn't have access to lawyers of their own choosing. we know that over the past two years they have been kept pretty much in isolation, family members have not been able to visit them, diplomats from the uk, the us and a number of european union countries, try to go but they were blocked by the police. and this really represents the types of trials that happen on national security trials in china today, they are held in secrecy, absolutely no due process, and there was certainly no verdict today. flan due process, and there was certainly no verdict today.— no verdict today. can you tell us a little bit more, _ no verdict today. can you tell us a little bit more, first _ no verdict today. can you tell us a little bit more, first of— no verdict today. can you tell us a little bit more, first of all, - no verdict today. can you tell us a little bit more, first of all, about. little bit more, first of all, about the first one, what she was doing, she was a journalist, and now being held on subversion charges? that’s held on subversion charges? that's rirht, she held on subversion charges? that's right. she was _ held on subversion charges? that's right. she was a — held on subversion charges? that's right, she was a journalist, - held on subversion charges? that's right, she was a journalist, she - held on subversion charges? “trust�*s right, she was a journalist, she had reported and actually was detained
7:42 pm
previously after her reporting about the hong kong protests. she became a lot more prominent in the women's rights movement, she did a survey actually looking at sexual harassment and sexual abuse of women in the media in china, and as a result of that became a very prominent women's rights spokesperson. 0n the eve of the day that she was picked up, she was actually about to go to the uk, she was about to... she got a scholarship and was about to start at the university of sussex. but sadly police detained her on the eve of her departure and that was two years ago now. tiara of her departure and that was two years ago now— of her departure and that was two years ago now. two years ago, and the other one? _ years ago now. two years ago, and the other one? he _ years ago now. two years ago, and the other one? he is _ years ago now. two years ago, and the other one? he is a _ years ago now. two years ago, and the other one? he is a labour - the other one? he is a labour activist, the other one? he is a labour activist. he — the other one? he is a labour activist, he has _ the other one? he is a labour activist, he has worked - the other one? he is a labour activist, he has worked with l the other one? he is a labour - activist, he has worked with ngo's, the two of them were friends and that's why they were picked up together. they sometimes held weekly meetings, talking a bit about the shrinking civil space for civil
7:43 pm
society. he was also a prominent meet to kim —— campaigner. their role in me to movement, such bravery lands even prison, so this really tells you about the state of human rights dependence in china today, and just the very fierce repression that they face on a daily basis. horse that they face on a daily basis. how difficult is it — that they face on a daily basis. how difficult is it to — that they face on a daily basis. how difficult is it to find _ that they face on a daily basis. how difficult is it to find out what happened in court today, how difficult is it from a human rights perspective to keep across what is happening to them? it’s perspective to keep across what is happening to them? it's incredibly difficult. largely _ happening to them? it's incredibly difficult. largely because - happening to them? it's incredibly difficult. largely because when - difficult. largely because when people are arrested and detained, they are initially held in a black site, sometimes information is able to be passed from other prisons. we have had contact with them. but these are people very isolated in these are people very isolated in the prison system and it's getting harder and harderforjournalists the prison system and it's getting harder and harder forjournalists to report on what is happening in china today, which is why the work of brain chinese —— brave chinese

7:46 pm
yesterday, as always, a state visit is about photo opportunities and highlighting shared concerns and causes. thank you for talking to us, peter. what do you make of the visit, how high is it rated in france? certainly in france it has been of huge important and indeed of huge interest. you would have thought one of the world's greatest republics, one that literally beheaded its last legitimate queen and king. they wouldn't have interest in a foreign monarch. but in france crowds turned up monarch. but in france crowds turned up to see king charles and queen camilla, and he was allowed access to all the great institutions of state, not least of all the french parliament. he appeared in the senate chamber, he was the first british monarch ever to do that, his mother queen elizabeth got as far as a conference room in 200a. but the
7:47 pm
king was allowed inside, he made a rousing speech notjust two senators, but also to members of parliament and the nearby national assembly. and also some far right ones as well, there is quite a few of those in france as well. peter, we're just — of those in france as well. peter, we're just watching _ of those in france as well. peter, we're just watching pictures - of those in france as well. peter, we're just watching pictures of i of those in france as well. peter, i we're just watching pictures of them in the flour, the flower market. and i think of throughout the visit, there were many references to queen elizabeth ii and this particularly poignant on that front. i elizabeth ii and this particularly poignant on that front.- elizabeth ii and this particularly poignant on that front. i was with queen elizabeth _ poignant on that front. i was with queen elizabeth in _ poignant on that front. i was with queen elizabeth in 2014 - poignant on that front. i was with queen elizabeth in 2014 which i queen elizabeth in 2014 which open that flower market, and what was so fascinating by it was that it was named after her while she was still alive. there is lots of monuments to british kings and queens in paris, avenue victoria is very very close to that flower market. but queen elizabeth actually got that flower market while she was still alive and
7:48 pm
of course to see her son arrive almost ten years later, and in a very humble way, look around and get very humble way, look around and get very very moved by seeing this flower market. i think she first visited that flower market as a princess in 1948. and it hasn't changed much at all, just a few flower sellers and whatever, so that was really very moving. and flower sellers and whatever, so that was really very moving.— flower sellers and whatever, so that was really very moving. and what did ou make was really very moving. and what did you make of — was really very moving. and what did you make of the _ was really very moving. and what did you make of the relationship - was really very moving. and what did | you make of the relationship between the king and president macron? the relations have been somewhat rocky, how much can a visit from king charles help rebuild those relations if you like? it charles help rebuild those relations if ou like? . ., , , if you like? it can certainly help. the pomp _ if you like? it can certainly help. the pomp and — if you like? it can certainly help. the pomp and circumstance i if you like? it can certainly help. the pomp and circumstance of l if you like? it can certainly help. l the pomp and circumstance of the british monarchy clashing, if you like, with the pomp and circumstance of the french presidency, the french president is a net massively powerful figure. president is a net massively powerfulfigure. a president is a net massively powerful figure. a lot of people

call him, i say of him there has never been a woman president, a very traditional old—fashioned institution. lives in a palace, he has lots of palaces and country homes, and he has a huge bodyguard looking after him at all times, so he is very very like a king. i think emmanuel macron is a classic french president. a lot of people call him an arrogant, call him pompous, charles de gaulle when he set up the modern presidency in... that's what he expected. there is no doubt that this trip worked and they pushed the establishment of both countries, the wealth that was a banquet of bursae attended by multimillionaires and indeed a few multimillionaires such as bernard arno, is, richest man in the world at the moment from a british standpoint. it certainly worked and was a huge success, there

will be created by this announcement. now the move by warner bros. has been welcomed by the british government, indeed jeremy hunt on a visit to los angeles said that it was a huge vote of confidence in the uk, adding that british made entertainment will continue to delight and entertain global audiences. the announcement does however come at the same time as that combined writers and actors strike in hollywood. that has hit warner bros. production hard, a number of their projects have had to be delayed. now here's the weather with ben rich. hello. the weather has felt decidedly cool today. we've had some pretty heavy showers out there, some sunny spells, too. but as those showers fade to leave largely clear skies overnight, it is going to turn really quite chilly. then through the weekend, temperatures will rise as some outbreaks of rain and some strong winds arrive, particularly towards the north—west of the uk. the reason for all of that,
7:56 pm
this swirl of cloud, this was a hurricane, hurricane nigel, not a hurricane anymore. but it is going to bring an injection of moisture into this deep area of low pressure. that will swirl to the north—west of us, throwing outbreaks of rain and strong winds into northern and western parts, but also bringing us a southerly wind, drawing up some warmer air from the south. but in the short term, still, these north or north—westerly wind, a rather cool feel to proceedings. a few showers around overnight, but most places will be dry with clear skies. a few mist and fog patches around even in some of the big towns and cities we'll see temperatures of 4—8 degrees out in the countryside. in northern scotland, i think quite easily just below freezing. tomorrow, then, some good spells of sunshine to start off. that sunshine, turning increasingly hazy from the west and then some thicker cloud rolling into south—west england, wales and northern ireland with a little bit of rain late in the day. the wind starting to strengthen as well. those winds starting to come up from the south, but still actually quite a cool—feeling day, 12—18 degrees for most of us.
7:57 pm
through saturday evening and overnight, this wriggling weather front that really sets in across northern and western parts. some outbreaks of heavy rain just pulsing along that frontal system. so on sunday, expect some really intense downpours for parts of wales, north—west england, northern ireland and most especially the western side of scotland. a bit of rain into the south—west of england later in the day, further south and east, some sunshine and some warmth, temperatures into the low 20s celsius. but the winds really will be picking up, we'll see some very gusty conditions for coasts and hills in the west, gusts of 50 to possibly 60 miles per hour. and through sunday night, more very heavy rain, perhaps most especially across the western side of scotland. there could be enough rain here to cause some localised flooding and some travel disruption. and then into next week it looks very autumnal, showers or longer spells of rain, some brisk winds. the best chance of any lengthy dry spells down towards the south.
