shut. the engine block. this is d w news live from berlin nasa launches the groundbreaking mission to touch the sun the parker solar pro glass off from cape canaveral on its way to unlock the mysteries of our stars the sizzling atmosphere. also coming out charlottesville virginia is marking the first anniversary of white supremacist brownlee's that turned deadly students and activists commemorate to come from station between the white nationalists and protesters have left three people dead in the u.s. city at last august later today protesters will probably in washington d.c.

. and the death toll on long book rises again more than four hundred people are now confirmed dead after last week's powerful earthquake on the indonesian island of quarter of a million are homeless again up to date with recovery efforts. by mary in evanston it's good to have you with us. nasa has launched a groundbreaking mission to unlock the secrets of our sun after a twenty four hour delay due to a late technical problem the parker solar probe has finally lifted off from cape canaveral in florida. one zero zero zero and lift off the probe will fly closer to the sun that any spacecraft ever before its mission is to study the

corona or atmosphere around the sun nasa hopes to find out more about what's known as the solar wind which can throw satellites off course and disrupt the power grid on earth scientists have developed a special heat shield to allow the probe to withstand the sun's extreme temperature . well the spacecraft is named after a physicist eugene parker who predicted the existence of solar wind sixty years ago nasa as of one point five billion dollar mission is being described as one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by the u.s. space agency. this is a mission solar physicists could only dream of for sixty years. a space probe the can approach the sun close enough to enter its atmosphere. the objective is to examine how solar flares formed. when currents of electronically

charged particles hit the earth they threaten sensitive electronics and satellites that's why scientists want to be able to forecast devastating solar storms. the parker solar probe will gather the necessary data with four instruments this means coming closer to the sun than any other space probe as before. and to be successful it has to survive being showered by energy particles and extreme radiation this extremely hostile environment demands highly developed technology a carbon he chilled with a sickness of twelve centimeters on the probe enters the sun scorching atmosphere its surface will heat up to fourteen hundred degrees celcius the onboard computer has to continually readjust the heat shield so that electronic and measuring devices inside can remain at room temperature and keep working if the probe falters

in some way unprotected parts will simply melt. with every approach to the sun the probe has to fold in its solar panels behind the heat shield only a small part can be exposed to extreme radiation. the probe has been fitted with this cooling system during a flight through the sun's atmosphere it will cool the solar antennas and keep the instruments working. the parker solar probe orbit the sun twenty four times coming closer to the star each time until the end of the year twenty twenty four when it's supposed to make its final approach solar physicists are eagerly anticipating a truth of new data. for us city of charlottesville virginia has been marking one year since the violent white supremacist rally that claimed the lives of three people the anniversary was marked mainly with peaceful vigils on saturday but there

was a brief tense confrontation between police and demonstrators angry at the large number of officers in riot gear. last year hundreds of white nationalists descended on charlottesville to protest the removal of a monument to confederate general robert e. leaves the rally turned violent as protesters clashed with counter protesters culminating in the death of thirty two year old heather higher it was killed when a man drove his car into a crowd our correspondent alexandra phenomena was in charlottesville where she spoke with highers mother. had the high you always had that sparkle in her eyes. told me when we meet in charlottesville carrying on her daughter's fight for social justice she says helps her to cope with the grief when i first held the earth with her ashes on it and i realized that urn in my arms was

activists held a panel discussion to promote the importance of remaining vigilant. this is. if you eat beef can we eat it and simply ignoring the problem they say they want to make it go away. well the organizers of the original white nationalist rally are planning a sequel in washington d.c. later on sunday after they were denied a permit to march in charlottesville the rally will take place in front of the white house and left wing counter demonstrators are also expected to mobilize there are washington correspondent my schweder has the details police in washington d.c. have said their biggest priority for the protest is keeping groups apart how exactly they're going to do that remains to be seen because everyone is going to be converging upon the exact same square very near to the white house with the white

supremacists and the counter protesters will all be marching towards freedom plaza now on the side of the altar right the right wing this march has actually been very controversial with a lot of people saying it's not good for their movement and they won't be showing up and on the side of the counter protesters we are actually expecting a very big crowd there's a coalition of about forty groups coming together under the un of birla called shut it down and we're seeing black lives matter mobilize a lot of churches mobilize everyone coming together wanting to say this is not washington d.c. and we do not accept this ideology we are multicultural place and we do not want these people here. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world in romania tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets across the country in renewed anti-government demonstrations in the capital bucharest huge crowds gathered in victory square a day after clashes with riot police left hundreds injured protesters blame the government for entrenched corruption low wages and
