Four astronauts, including Canada’s Jeremy Hansen, are now in orbit after the successful launch of the Artemis II mission on the Orion spacecraft. This is NASA’s first crewed mission to the moon since 1972. Mike Armstrong reports from the Canadian Space Agency’s headquarters on the excitement for the start of the 10-day journey around the moon.

As Israel and the U.S. continue their war on Iran, Israel is also taking bold steps to occupy southern Lebanon. Israel says it’s targeting Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based paramilitary group and ally of Iran. And as Redmond Shannon reports, it’s sparking fears of long-term Israeli occupation.
