a shouting match with them they were shouting for putin and the demonstrators assembling there were shouting for russia without putin and were shouting against putin and soon after that the arrests started there were groups of riot police out in force basically grabbing people out of the crowd and putting them into police vans now there was some defiance among the protesters as well after the police cleared the square some of them kind of returned to the square and kept assembling around the pushkin monument on the on the center at the center of the square as police kept arresting them as well now police here say that three hundred people were arrested just in moscow the servers say the number is more likely to be around six hundred now it's worth noting that the protest here wasn't authorized but protests also took place in several other cities in fact around ninety cities today

people came out in support of me and some of those protests were authorized but there were arrests across the board. that was correspondent emily short on reporting from moscow there the u.s. space agency nasa has launched its latest probe to mars a powerful atlas five rocket is propelling the mars insite lander to the planet's surface as we speak the journey is expected to take six months upon arrival the probe will be sent deep under the planet's cross for clues about how it formed the launch is to years late due to equipment problems the delay also ramped up project cost for more than eight hundred million dollars the solar and battery powered lander is designed to operate for twenty six earth months which is just one mars year. the inside lander will be the first to examine the internal structure of the planet mars scientists have been eager to gather data on

the red planet's interior for decades. we know a lot about the surface of mars we know a lot about its atmosphere and even about its so i ought to spear but we don't know very much about what goes on a mile below the surface much less two thousand miles below the surface down to the center of this heat probe should be able to fill in some of those gaps developed by scientists at the german aerospace center it will measure the temperature of individual underground layers and determine how efficiently these layers conducts heat to do this the probe will have to burrow deeper into mars surface than any previous drill. another instrument will monitor how much mars north pole wobbles as it orbits the sun. and for the first time a seismometer will measure seismic five gracious on mars surface caused by earthquakes and meteor strikes the data acquired by all three experiments will make

it possible to make new suppositions about the inner structure of mars and the information will help scientists to reconstruct the early development of rocky planets such as the earth mars venus and mercury. this will allow them to look back in time to when the super heated elements separated according to their densities and formed layers in the young planets. the structure of the planets consists of a dense missal core less dense mantles and a rocky outer crust formed as the planet the traces of this early development phase on the earth these traces have been almost completely obliterated. now to some of the other stories making news around the world a coal mine explosion has killed at least sixteen laborers and injured several others in southwest pakistan officials say

a rescue operation is underway to free about a dozen people who remain trapped inside the mine and province according to authorities the blast was caused by a buildup of methane gas. a trench will flood has swept through a district in the turkish capital ankara injuring six people the powerful waters that vehicles downstream through the streets dozens of homes and offices were also flooded authorities say crews have already started cleaning up the affected neighborhood. police in paris have fired tear gas at some protesters during a day of largely peaceful demonstrations across the country tens of thousands of people protested president emanuel mccall sweeping reforms a year after he took office critics say his economic and social reforms favor the wealthy and corporations by cutting some worker protections. and slovakia

instead of celebrating i'm a wedding friends and family are mourning murder journalist young kid siac and his fiance martina could siac had been investigating high level corruption in the country they're still on resolved killings in february have rocked the country's political class mass protests following the death of the couple triggered the resignation of the prime minister amid demands to battle corruption and protect press freedom. it should have been one of the happiest days of their lives but in place of their wedding friends and family are honoring the murdered journalist ian could see a contest fiance martina with a memorial concert. is where we can accomplish the. investigation of mass murder as well as causes of corruption can be. it's not known who shot could siac and his fiance at close range in late february

but when he died the journalist had been working on an article about alleged connections between leading slovak politicians and the italian mafia in the cars that in the article could siac named people and companies we have checked all the names and connected them to seventy criminal cases we're looking into possible links. prime minister little bad fit so has resigned but behind the scenes many believe he's still pulling the strings that's prompted tens of thousands of people to protest. slovaks are furious that have been received nations but not enough. above all corruption must stop we need more public scrutiny. that seems unlikely in light of the latest development the country's public broadcaster recently fired several journalists they'd signed an open letter against corruption in the media. fresh earthquakes have struck hawaii's big island where the killer

whale volcano has been stealing lava into residential areas this has forced hundreds of people to flee their homes aftershocks from a series of earthquakes have also been rumbling across the island the u.s. geological survey measured the largest tremor at a magnitude of six point nine the strongest in decades so far there have been no reports of injuries or major damage earlier we spoke with dawn tarzan who is a laboratory guide on the island. so we're on the east side of the big island of hawaii and right now we're going through a period of time where we differ through massive swelling of the volcano and it's starting to release some of the energy in the last couple days what we've seen is lots and lots of earthquakes i think in the last three to four days there's been well over a thousand and in the last couple days in particular they've gotten more intense

today they got a little bit fewer and we got some massive ones like a six point nine that was just described there are fissures that are opening up down on the east drift i believe that at the meeting tonight and behold there had been somewhere between six and eight act decisions that had opened up in the last twenty four hours that you know the last time something like this happened in hawaii was in one nine hundred fifty five and that particular event lasted about three months long so they want everybody to understand that this is something that's going to be intense if it's shut off tomorrow or it could last for a really long time and so everybody really just needs to make the proper preparations whatever that means to each of them. to sports now and after the penalty met round of matches in the bundesliga here in germany hamburg are still in grave danger of being relegated after losing three nil to frankfurt all further also in trouble after a heavy defeat in leipzig four one freiburg are not safe yet they went down to gladbach minds have secured their place in the bundesliga by shocking dortmund
