the tricky bit of. food. this is the w.'s line from berlin for us to your charlottesville marks the first anniversary of white supremacist rallies that turned deadly students and activists commemorates the confrontation between white nationalists and protesters that left one person dead in the city last august we hear from our correspondent in washington where rallies are also taking place also coming up. vote counting is underway in mali after presidential runoff election but many people stay at home amid reports of attacks on polling stations who live to bamako for the exits.

and nasa launches a groundbreaking mission to touch the sun a pocket solar probe blasts off from cape canaveral on its way to unlock the mysteries of all stars super heated atmosphere. i'm glad you could join us the u.s. has been mocking one year since the violent white supremacist rally that claimed the lives of three people in charlottesville virginia white nationalists a gathering in washington for another so-called unite the right around police a separating them from counter protesters who are expected to outnumber them. hundreds of white nationalists descended to charlottesville to protest the removal of a monument to confederate to confederate general robot even be the rally turned violent

as protesters clashed with counter protesters culminating in the death of have a higher who was killed when a man drove his car into a crowd. now a rally against racial hatred is currently underway in the city of charlottesville but a number of rallies are also beginning in washington and that's where correspondent my shrader is and she joins us now my it's good to see you i don't know if you can hear me but the white nationalist rally obviously coming on the anniversary of last year's violence in charlottesville but we can clearly see that there's also protests happening behind you what are police doing to ensure that there are no clashes this time around. ok. edith what's happening right next to me right now is one of the many counter protest that's been happening in washington d.c. is starting their march towards lafayette square which is going to be the place where both these counter protesters and the white supremacists who are marching later today will converge the police earlier this week made it clear that their goal was

to keep the two sides separate and to try to avoid a repeat of what happened last year but it's unclear how they're going to be able to do that because lafayette square is a very small space and according to one person who we spoke with earlier it's already absolutely packed with counter protesters who are anticipating the white supremacists arrival so everything so far has been very calm on this side very positive very forceful but we'll have to see what happens when the white supremacist come boxing and how those two sides may or may not meet and at this point do we know what the message is from both the anti-fashion the so-called anti fascist groups and the white nationalists. the white nationalists jason castro the man who arranged both last year's unite the right rally and this years has said in media interviews this week that he wants this year to be peaceful what really his goal is to spark a conversation to spark a debate about the role of white people in american society and he is one of these

white nationalists who believes that white voices are being marginalized in america these people who are here who are probably many times more people than the white nationalists are record to show up later today. very much reject that message and they want to put forward the message that washington d.c. is a multicultural place it's a welcoming place and this sort of ideology coming from the other side is not welcome here maya could you give us a feel of how many people have turned up to the rally where you're currently at and what the numbers are expected to be like from the international news from the white nationalists rather. edith i am rather bad at estimating myself by just looking at this crowd ahead of me as at least a couple of hundred people and we know that there are other rallies going on around you see in other areas so it's going to be very crowded at lafayette park later on the white supremacist side they're expecting maximum probably four hundred people and reports have been that it's probably even less. maya shrader joining us from

a trauma that they can all relate to. and launched a groundbreaking mission to unlock the secrets of our son after twenty four hour delay due to a technical problem the finally lifted off from cape canaveral in florida this spacecraft is named after a physicist who predicted the existence of the solar wind sixty years ago the one point five billion dollars mission is being described as one of the most 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 into atmosphere. the objective is to examine how solar flares formed. when currents of electronically charged particles hit the earth they threaten sensitive electronics and satellite

that's why scientists want to be able to forecast devastating solar storms. the parker solar probe to 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 extraordinary hostile environment demands highly developed technology a carbon he chilled with the thickness of twelve centimeters. when 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 trove of new data. fascinating well going to sleep have lost a key part of their defense and this is just shortly before the start of the season defender has joined french champions. according to reports the twenty one year old cost the french side a whopping thirty seven million euros to complete the transfer making it abundantly
