a white nationalist family planned for this evening comes on the anniversary of last year's violence in charlottesville old miser sending out a message or so in interviews with the media earlier this week jason kesler who's the man who organized not only this years but last year's unite the right rally has said that number one his goal is to keep things peaceful this year but his real goal is to spark a conversation to spark a debate about race in society now people have questioned how seriously that should be taken given that it's coming from a man who supports debunk science alleging that certain races are smarter than other races but he's also said that he really wants to stand up for first amendment rights for white people to gather and to express themselves but what we see behind me here is the beginning of the counter rallies in washington d.c.

another place in the city to this exact same place and the police have said they're going to be putting up barricades just trying to keep the two sides separate they've also said they're going to be scanning for weapons no one will be allowed to carry guns or anything that even could be used as a weapon such as an umbrella or pipe or anything like that so really everyone is sort of crossing their fingers hoping that things are going to stay as peaceful as possible after what happened last year and hopefully the hopefully they do but ahead of today's bad news or by us president donald trump's daughter ivanka trump tweeted something this isn't to what she had to say she's a one to better place to live in a nation that protects liberty freedom of speech and diversity of opinion there is no place for white supremacy racism a new an autism you know a great country my own washer speaking for a father it's really unclear how much of alcatraz still has the ear of the president these days and donald trump himself

did tweet something about a day ago if i just look at my notes he talked about the sense of senseless death and division of what happened last year and that we need to come together as a nation but as you can see that statement is a lot more generic than of was and it really belies this divide that has seemed to exist in the administration over these sorts of issues among many others so a vulcan trip at this point we can say is generally speaking for herself and perhaps speaking for the administration whether or not she's speaking for her father is very unclear my shredder in washington thank you so much for that update . nasa has launched a groundbreaking mission to unlock the secrets of sun after the twenty four hour delay due to a late technical problem the solar probe finally lifted off from cape canaveral in florida. three two one zero. lift off. the probe will fly closer to the sun than any spacecraft ever before its

mission is to study the corona 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 earth scientists have developed a vivid used to the new heat shield to protect the probe from the sun's extreme temperatures. the spacecraft is named after physicist eugene paca who predicted the existence of the solar wind sixty years ago now says 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 has 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 heat shield with the thickness of twelve centimeters on the probe enters the sun scorching atmosphere its surface will heat up to fourteen hundred degrees celsius 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.
6:11 pm
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 parkers 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 truth new data . now to some of the other stories making news around the world a powerful explosion in northern syria has reportedly came to thirty six people including many children the force of the blast toppled buildings burying many of the victims the origin of the explosion is still
