Newshour - Artemis II makes space history
Download Artemis II makes space history
Four astronauts have taken humanity deeper into space than ever before, breaking a record set in 1970. We hear from space expert Dr Kevin Fong as well as the singer from Young & Sick. His song was played to wake up the Artemis crew in space.
Also on the programme: President Trump repeats his deadline for Iran to agree to a deal with the United States; and the discovery of Yiddish songs performed during the Holocaust.
