Nasa's Parker Solar Probe is hoping to make the closest ever approach to the Sun. It promises to revolutionize our understanding of the Sun.

Protests have broken out in Syria over the burning of a Christmas tree. It has prompted calls for the new Islamist authorities to take measures to protect minorities. We'll speak to our correspondent in Damascus.
