China set to launch high-stakes mission to moon's 'hidden' side
China will send a robotic spacecraft in coming days on a round trip to the moon's far side in the first of three technically demanding missions that will pave the way for an inaugural Chinese crewed landing and a base on the lunar south pole. Since the first Chang'e mission in 2007, named after the mythical Chinese moon goddess, China has made leaps forward in its lunar exploration, narrowing the technological chasm with the United States and Russia. In 2020, China brought back samples from the moon's near side in the first sample retrieval in more than four decades, confirming for the first time it could safely return an uncrewed spacecraft to Earth from the lunar surface.

South Korea's Yoon to meet opposition leader amid bid to reset presidency
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will meet opposition leader Lee Jae-myung for talks on Monday after a crushing election defeat for the president's ruling party led to widespread calls for him to change his style of leadership. Yoon's People Power Party (PPP) failed to make inroads into the opposition's grip on parliament in the April 10 election, which was widely seen as a referendum on the conservative leader's first two years in power. The meeting is the first Yoon has held with Lee since taking office and comes as analysts have said he may have slipped into lame duck status after his combative political stance appeared to have alienated many voters.
