one instrument, a seismometer, will pick up signals from martian earthquakes, or marsquakes. unlike previous missions, the most recent missions have been looking for water and habitability. this particular one is looking at how the planet itself is made up, how it is built. earth and mars formed at the same time, probably by similar processes, so this mission could also shed light on why the two planets are so different. beyond a trip to mars, scientists say this is a mission to our solar system's past. peering beneath mars‘ surface could also help us understand how earth, the moon and even distant exoplanets around other stars evolved. victoria gill, bbc news. this is bbc news, coming up in the next few minutes: witness speaks to a holocaust survivor who was a child in the belsen concentration camp. before that, time for the weather. there's only one word, "scorchio"! good afternoon. one exception to the rule. some of the merc lurking in the irish sea has come up and over the irish sea has come up and over the hillsborough type area and that is one of the exceptions. that is
