statement clearly implies this was not a premeditated murder it also said eight hundred saudis had been arrested in connection with the death and the second in command of the saudi intelligence service ahmed a sciri and other top officials had been sacked a leading saudi dissident told german television these moves are aimed at removing blame from crown prince mohammed bin solomon. it is obsolete impossibility to imagine this team fifteen members. coming in the one and even the even from different department a country and doing this job without literally knowledge done it it's all done from . the shocking events alleged by turkish investigators have put the saudis under pressure to explain but the official statement has been met by skepticism in many

parts of the world u.s. president donald trump says he needs more information from the saudis it was a big first step was a good first step but i want to get to the end. of service say the saudis may have silenced not only because he was a journalist critical of the crown prince but also because he had close ties to turkey and the west. all right for more on the story we're joined by assad us he's from arabic now that's good to see does this latest saudi vision of events seem credible it's hard to believe that the royal family that the crown prince mohammed bin son and his father king some mandate that they didn't know about this death of a. jamal khashoggi. especially they have been denying it for two weeks and now they say oh he died in the in the consulate because the two of the shows will be back today are syrian pattani they are from the inner circle

a circle of crown prince and that's why it's hard to believe that they didn't know about the death of jamal khashoggi and it's not really easy to buy this narrative speaking of buying the snatch of window that we saw in the reports that u.s. president donald trump is somewhat buy into it but i wondered how people in the arab world are responding to the saudi narrative now i've been looking at the social media and talking to friends and colleagues and nobody really believes this story that the royal family that the government didn't know that your mother was dead there are so many questions about how come that somebody goes into a fistfight in the consulate and dies immediately and how come they didn't know anything or we don't know anything about the body what did happen to the body would

have we don't really know so this whole narrative is very very weak and. there are really very few people outside saudi arabia who believe this narrative that i want to ask you this how will it be remembered in the arab world first we have to know that jim us of two wasn't always a dissident he was critical to the regime but here was loyal he was also. very. he was the incident of the crown prince but when mohamed been some man and his father came to power. i think he was or damascus or he was you know too uncomfortable to him and he went to the u.s. to in his. two to exile practically and i think now he will be remembered as i and i kind of freedom of speech which is a very crucial thing and so there you can go right now to. the arabic thank you

being drawn to its doom by the sun's huge gravitational pull it will finally end to orbit around mercury in december two thousand and twenty five when it will release its two research satellites and. it's a complicated trajectory we have to follow to get to mercury it's not actually getting there that's difficult but it is very difficult to maneuver into orbit that's what makes this flight path complicated and that has to do with the fact that mercury is so close to the sun. a simple straight flight path would send the craft hurtling directly into the sun our home star's huge mass would make entering orbit around mercury impossible. so close to the sun temperatures are extreme baby colombo will have to withstand conditions of up to four hundred fifty degrees celsius but parts of the planet that never see the sun can be as cold as minus one hundred eighty degrees part of baby colombo's mission is to find out what the

planet is made of and how it might have formed that will give scientists a much better idea of the conditions close to the sun four and a half billion years ago when our solar system was taking shape. one of the two satellites on the twin mission will measure macquarie's magnetic field to try to solve some of these puzzles meanwhile it sibling satellite will examine mercury's rocky surface taken together all this information will give scientists new insights into the birth of our solar systems in a planet's. at the german aerospace center research as heat to rest really rocks to the kind of temperatures reached on mercury they want to find out how rocks behave under such extreme conditions the results will help them interpret the findings harvested from baby colombo's cameras and spectrometers and finally reveal mercury secrets you're watching
