Afghans Fear for Safety as War Returns

Four astronauts lifted off Wednesday on NASA’s Artemis II mission, humanity’s first crewed journey around the Moon in over 50 years. The 10-day flight will test new systems, carry the most diverse lunar crew ever, and set the stage for future landings and a sustainable American presence on the Moon.

US has exerted growing influence over the Venezuelan government after abducting former President Nicolas Maduro.

Artemis II is the first crewed spacecraft to head to the moon since 1972. The 10-day flight marks a major step toward returning humans to the lunar surface.

Donald Trump will give an “important update” on the Iran war in a prime-time televised address to the American nation on Wednesday evening, which is expected to reiterate the president's timeline for rolling back US military operations in the region.
