and spacex aren't the only ones urban spaces, which has big in town, blue origin is owned implications. it is an important by the richest man in the world, amazon's jeff bezos. we're fortunate here in florida. our goal here is to make sure we have his billionaires and others trying to outcompete one another crop. clover if you pollute plants for who's is bigger, here in florida. and what about tourism to the moon? and the soils in the environment we're probably not they are in, they ultimately are too far from that. a decade or two, i think? losing ourselves. when they are tossed aside, cigarette butts can ta ke tossed aside, cigarette butts can take up to a decade to break down stop for scientists now want to i think when people start making carry out further research to see if lots of money by providing tourism in space, then more people the plants recover after initial will want to do it which further exposure to the plastic hidden drives down the price. but for those of us who can't afford inside. there is something ijust the hundreds of thousands of pounds didn't think about. darren flicked to go up into space, the goal of the kennedy space centre is to keep us entertained with interactive exhibits, events and celebrations during this, the year of apollo. his butt into the rough. it is bad!

i know! it was weird enough watching a sports person having a fag midway well, if you're keen to reach for the stars on your next through one of the premier competitions in the world. that kind earthbound trip, here are some travel show suggestions of places of butt. but if they weren't here, nor in the kennedy space center, let's take a look at some of this they would be found in the most morning's front pages. unlikely of places — the sunday telegraph leads iceland, which played with the ongoing tension a little—known but important part between iran and the uk, in the preparations after a british tanker was seized for the moon landing. as cat moh has been finding out. by iran's revolutionary in the early 1960s, nasa searched guard in the gulf. the globe to find a training it says ministers are drawing up sanctions for the iranian regime, landscape that resembled the moon, and they finally found it adding that foreign secretaryjeremy hunt will use a commons statement here in iceland. to announce "a package of diplomatic close to the arctic circle, lava deserts and glaciers cover over and economic measures" on monday. 60% of its rugged landscapes. so nasa sent its budding apollo astronauts here to learn about geology and practice collecting rock samples. the reason the astronauts according to the sunday mirror, were trained in iceland it's feared the british oil tanker was because most of them were pilots, and they were best was "steered" towards iranian waters pilots from the military. by false gps co—ordinates sent by russian spy technology. we should say that is just one they were focused on the sky, theory amongst many. it hasn't

conclusively been proven. but nasa wanted them to look down the observer reports of a warning for borisjohnson, should he become prime minister: "focus on iran or risk descent to the ground and study into war". the rock below their feet. this crater was formed 10,000 years finally, the mail says taxpayers will be "spending ago, and it was one of the sites thousands of pounds" on furniture for number 10, if borisjohnson that the apollo astronauts visited while they were training becomes prime minister. for their visit to the moon, and this is a classic site there where they would have done the moon game, when actually compete let's look at what is happening against one another, to collect the best samples, inside the papers. sharan dhaliwal, editor and the geologists look over of burnt roti magazine what they bring back and tell them is here to tell us what's who did the best in caught her eye in the inside pages. good morning. nice to see you. this particular field. back in 1967, local sheep farmer good morning. nice to see youfl tragic story but more to it that perhaps meets the eye. the case of ingolfurjonasson was 19 years this young girl who died. perhaps meets the eye. the case of this young girl who diedm perhaps meets the eye. the case of this young girl who died. it is a story about this somali refugee and what happened is she died on the old when one day, visiting astronauts neil armstrong and bill anders asked 27th ofjune. what happened is she died on the tojoin him on a fishing trip. 27th of june. last what happened is she died on the 27th ofjune. last month. it was fire drowning. what happened is the the exploration museum open here in the town of husavik back family started talking to the police about the lack of actual investigations. they don't know what in 2014 to pay tribute to the role iceland played happened. why was she there, it was in the 1969 moon landings. a long time. i think it was between

330 and 11 and during that time they i get a lot of groups to this museum, i had a group don't have an idea of what happened. from the central bank of iceland three years ago, before that as well, she went through a lot of bullying at school and i told them that they are stop so much so that a lot of her familiar with our currency and how family complained to the school and it can go up and down pretty quick, said to them, you know, there is a this is a coin, this is an icelandic lot of work you need to do here, coin that flew ten times please address this. there was a lack of response from the school and around the moon in 1968. then after all of that, she died. it has never gone up so fast, the family are saying this needs to and it came down pretty quickly as well. be investigated. it is more than tourism in iceland has been enjoying a boom in recent years. but many people coming here are not just a drowning. there was bullying aware of the apollo connection beforehand just a drowning. there was bullying before hand and it when they are visiting just a drowning. there was bullying beforehand and it was ignored. there has been a lot of protests about it or instagramming his lunar—type landscape. andl has been a lot of protests about it and i think finally now there has been more investigations, people are being more open to discuss it. the police are now talking to the family. they say they are still investigating this, greater jack schmitt was the only scientist manchester police. they have who actually walked on the moon. interviewed for children who were with her when she died was not they he told me that armstrong picked up say they haven't uncovered does make a lot of skill during his time uncovered suspicious circumstances and they believe she got into in iceland, and it contributed trouble going into deep water. as greatly to his collection of rocks you say, it looks like they are that he brought back from the moon. still looking into the case. two they are, absolutely was a bitjust

feels like one of those stories where there was a lot of people holding back from investigating because she was a refugee, she was a black, muslim woman from somalia. --s black, muslim woman from somalia. ——s they are. there has been a lot of backlash from that. absolutely. this is in the sunday times this perhaps it's no surprise morning. it talks about harassment that the country once home to viking explorers also helped to put man at work but also how hr policy means that people actually can't meet on the moon back in 1969. potential partners at work anymore. this is interesting. firstly, the headline. i thought it was a strange headline. i thought it was a strange headline to use. it talks about people not being able to meet at work anymore because of sexual harassment. which there is, you know, that is a positive thing. in many ways, if they are moving towards fixing sexual harassment in workplaces, if people don't meet there, find that one of the interesting things i saw, in the server that they did, one of the differences was people that met

through friends. 20%. yeah. they are talking about specifically work and the differences. a lot of my past relationships were actually created from work places, places i worked. i good morning welcome to breakfast with ben thompson and rachel burden. our headlines today: am freelance now so it doesn't work like that anymore. i noticed the passengers are left stranded as british airways suspends difference through friends and i flights to and from cairo wonder whether that was to do with online dating because of the surge of it. that is huge. the number of over security concerns. people who meet through online dating is 39%. i know a lot of please confirm that you're not intending violate international law friends who have gotten married from meeting on things like tender years by intending to board. dramatic audio reveals how a british and years ago. its new normal. some warship warned iranian forces not to seize a uk—registered oil tanker. it was one of the greatest rounds of golf at a major. ireland's shane lowry people still make up stories about is the man to catch — how they met if they have met via he leads the open by four shots, dating apps. what is all this on the final day at royal portrush.

about. ? dating apps. what is all this about.? this is dating apps. what is all this about. ? this is about manspreading. menadue said with their legs wide apart. i think we should get ben to demonstrate. you really don't need me to. i'll do it. it is men like this. extending the physical space around them to impose their presence. we make it is taking space that they don't need to take. this chair corrects it does it? she has made one ferment to get there needs to come together and one for women to come together and one for women to be to sit apart. it is kind of, this article, it is a bit condescending. there is a part here whether jobs says... it condescending. there is a part here whetherjobs says... it talks about it in whetherjobs says... it talks about itina whetherjobs says... it talks about it in a negative way. this is more

ofa it in a negative way. this is more of a statement than actually furniture. it is more like conceptual art. its more a torture device! these pictures are cute. cute pictures. the sad story is not so cute. as a sunday expressed tend to do, they are talking about gender and toilet —— calling it a trendy theory. even though being outside of a gender norm, they looked about which gendered boom will take a gender toy. a lot of the female the beans will take nurturing toys and a lot of the mail would take trucks. it is interesting because it is a small selection of baboons that are given toys. it doesn't think about the

nuances of the fact that, you know, think about texture, you are thinking about, i would pick up a soft teddy bear over a harsh truck but also i would play with a truck over a teddy bear. there is a lot going on here. a lot of discussions that need to be had. i think having pictures of burns holding teddy bears and trucks... one small experiment. -- baboons holding teddy bears. thank you so much. back to you a little bit later on. thank you so much. 00:31:31,861 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 stay with us, headlines coming up.
