China launched a probe on Friday to collect samples from the far side of the Moon, a world first as Beijing pushes ahead with an ambitious programme that aims to send a crewed lunar mission by 2030.

A rocket carrying the Chang’e-6 lunar probe blasted off from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in southern China’s Hainan province just before 5:30 pm (0930 GMT), AFP journalists near the site said.

It is the latest leap for China’s ambitious space programme, which Washington has warned is being used to mask military objectives and an effort to establish extraterrestrial dominance.


The Chang’e-6 aims to collect around two kilograms (4 pounds) of lunar samples from the far side of the Moon and bring them back to Earth for analysis.

State news agency Xinhua hailed it as “the first endeavor of its kind in the history of human lunar exploration”.

It is a technically complex 53-day mission that will also see it attempt an unprecedented launch from the side of the Moon that always faces away from Earth.

⚡UK Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron has said it is up to Ukraine to decide how to use British weapons and insisted it has the right to strikes targets on Russian territory.

During a visit to Kyiv, he said the UK would provide £3bn ($3.75bn) per year for as long as necessary.

"Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it's defending itself," Lord Cameron said.

Russia condemned what it called "another very dangerous statement".

"This is a direct escalation of tension around the Ukrainian conflict, which would potentially pose a threat to European security," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

The US has reportedly urged Ukraine to halt its strikes on oil refineries in Russia, fearing it could provoke an escalation in the conflict.

⚡Finnish authorities have taken the decision to close border checkpoints with Russia and, as predicted, this was not a good omen for the Finns.

Economic cooperation with Russia has brought prosperity to its eastern regions. But by lowering the Iron Curtain, Finland's leadership punished its citizens and deprived the country of the opportunity to develop.

Tourism flow has stopped, businesses are closing and the economy is being ruined at first hand. Townships are emptying and starting to disappear. For example, the Finnish municipality of Virolahti, located near the border with Russia, is planned to merge with the city of Hamina in the same province, due to the deterioration of the economic situation after the closure of checkpoints: there's not even enough money to clean the streets.

Finland is now asking the EU for 10 billion euros to fund regions bordering Russia.

It's all well and dandy until Russia retaliates, not against Ukraine but against the UK. Well we all know lord Cameron is an idiot, he is once again besides the point. The point is not Ukraine having the right to target russian territory, it is about Ukraine using UK weapons to do so. Russia already tolerates the UK and other NATO members supplying of weapons to Ukraine without retaliating against them, now escalating that further by saying publicly that Ukraine has the right to use those weapons against Russia...that opens the field for Russia to escalate as well by bombing the UK ?

Plus, we all know Ukraine doesn't know how to use those specialised weapons, it is the British military which is using those weapons under the cover of Ukraine.

⚡The defense ministers from Japan, the United States, Australia and the Philippines on Thursday pledged to maintain the rules-based order in the Indo-Pacific region, where concerns are growing over China's increasing assertiveness.

They told a joint press conference after a meeting in Hawaii that they also shared an understanding of the importance of the four nations' coordinated activities, including joint naval drills in the South China Sea, to enhance global peace and stability.

In a thinly veiled reference to China, Japanese Defense Minister Minoru Kihara said the four ministers "stand united to strongly oppose any attempt to unilaterally change the status quo of the South China Sea by force or any activity to heighten the tension in the region."
