Chapter 2: What are NASA's plans for a permanent base on the Moon?
I'm Charlotte Gallagher and in the early hours of the 27th of May, these are our main stories. The US starts ordering hardware to build a long-term base for humans on the moon. As fighting between Hezbollah and Israel continues, we hear why the so-called ceasefire isn't working.
The latest on a possible peace deal between Iran and the US, 24 hours after Washington launched airstrikes against the country. And as the nephew of the drug lord El Chapo is arrested, how much of a grip do the cartels still have on Mexico? Also in this podcast...
We're producers. We have everything here. We have all manner of natural resources. We have clean water. We have agriculture. We could put a fence around Alberta. We don't need anybody else for anything. Could a breakaway province in Canada help Donald Trump's 51st state ambitions?
Chapter 3: How might the US-China space race impact lunar exploration?
It's been less than two months since the world watched as NASA's Artemis II mission marked a return to the moon with a flyby. We just realized that we have Earth out window four and moon out window three. The moon is about three to four times the size of the Earth.
And now the US Space Agency says it's ordering parts for a sprawling base on the lunar surface, with plans for a long-term site for humans by 2032. Dr. Laurie Glaze is from NASA. We are building humanity's first outpost beyond Earth.
Through Artemis we are going, and with Moonbase we're going to stay. And together, NASA, industry and international partners, we are creating a future where exploration is not just an incredible moment in history, but the first foothold beyond Earth for all of humanity. Our North America correspondent David Willis has been following developments.
Chapter 4: What challenges does NASA face in establishing a Moon base?
President Trump wants to land Americans back on the moon before he leaves office in 2028. So NASA is under pressure to at least look like it's winning the new space race. But China is breathing down its neck, of course, and it's forging ahead with plans to land human beings on the moon by the year 2030.
Despite the US's success in sending four astronauts around the moon in the Artemis II mission last month, there are many experts who believe that NASA's timetable is ambitious to say the very least, and that China will be the next country to actually land humans on the moon's surface. Well, today NASA announced further information.
...details of a $20 billion plan to establish a permanent base at the south pole of the moon by 2032. The initial phase being the development of robotic landers and hopping drones by a company such as Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin Space Company...
thereby to explore and map the terrain of the moon before human beings actually travel there. And that discovery phase of the program is expected to last, we're told, until 2029 and will pave the way for the creation of nuclear and solar-powered facilities on the moon so that by 2032 everything will be in place to allow human beings to live there in sort of semi-permanent housing.
As you said there, this is Donald Trump's pet project. He wants this. But I guess once he's gone from office, the next administration might say it's a waste of money, we shouldn't be prioritizing this.
Well, you're right. This is very much Donald Trump's baby. He's been driving NASA's pivot towards an accelerated lunar program, largely in an effort to beat China to pole position, to showcase US technological superiority, if you like.
Artemis-programmi on tehnyt vuosia työtä. Se on arvioitu, että se on kostanut noin 100 miljardia dollaria niin kauan. Mutta muun muassa Donald Trumpin poliittinen investointi tässä, se voisi jäädä merkittävälle ekonomiselle hyödylle Yhdysvallan. Kiitos puheenjohtaja.
to the areas with the most abundant resources means securing the best lunar real estate, and that means establishing an early bridgehead, and there's a general feeling here that any future US administration would be unlikely to turn its back on a potential return on the billions of dollars that have already been spent, especially in the light of the potential scientific benefits that all this could yield for the world in general.
Some people might be listening to this and thinking, but how can anyone claim part of the moon? Surely it belongs to everyone. So is it finders keepers who gets their first, gets the resources?

Chapter 5: How is the situation in Lebanon evolving amid Israeli strikes?
He have been arrested in Mexico and Mexican officials have arrested him. But how much involvement will the US have in this?
Washington has for a long time now been pressuring Mexico City saying you need to do more. Cartels are running wild. They are disputing and supplying the US with narcotics as we've never seen before and have put the Mexican government under increasing pressure, be that through threats of tariffs or other means.
But Mexico has said they are doing enough, and it's a joint effort, because President Claudia Scheinbaum, especially ahead of the FIFA World Cup, which is only a couple of weeks away now, is saying she's actually doing more. And we've seen that with multiple arrests in the last few weeks, the last few months, of these kind of key priority figures. And that is something that Mexican officials have also said. They've come out and said these...
Priority targets, as they've called them, are fundamental in dismantling and weakening these very large crime groups, these drug trafficking cartels. But there is a lot of pressure coming from Washington and increasingly so. And how dominant are the cartels still in Mexico? And when someone like this is arrested, do they have a replacement waiting in the wings to take over straight away?
Kartelit ovat erittäin vahvoja. Sinaloa-karteli oli johtuva El Chapo. Hän on tehty elokuvan yksityisen turvallisuuden yhdistämisessä Coloradoissa Yhdysvalloissa. Hän on tehty yhdistämisessä yhdistämisessä yhdistämisessä Yhdysvalloissa.
But they've all been replaced and been replaced quite swiftly. We do see factions kind of break off. So Los Chapitos is a kind of smaller part of the wider Sinaloa cartel. The figure who has been arrested may be very swiftly replaced by their junior, their kind of next in rank. Or it would just mean that more factions occur and this group can separate and kind of develop and transform to survive and adapt to the next generation of cartel members. That was Mimi Swaby.
Still to come in this podcast, we look at the therapy dogs helping the survivors of a notorious Ugandan warlord. Many of them were rejected, stigmatized. So because of limited mental health care services, I realized that dogs could step in.
Understand the latest business trends. We're looking at how the war in the Middle East is affecting businesses and people around the world. And how they might affect the money in your pocket.

Chapter 6: What implications does El Chapo's nephew's arrest have for Mexico's drug cartels?
Kyllä, kuten kaikki Yhdysvalloissa, on aina jonkinlainen ero. Kaksi vuotta sitten, jolloin Joe Sputt Murphy aloitti yrityksen, hän järjestäisi sen yksityiskohtaisen yrityksen. Ne tuntuvat erilaisesti. Ne ovat varmasti ne, jotka tekevät suurin osa londonista. Mutta on myös suomalaiset yritykset, joiden suomalaiset yritykset, joiden suomalaiset yritykset, joiden suomalaiset yritykset, joiden suomalaiset yritykset, joiden suomalaiset yritykset,
