charlie duke was one of them. he's been on hand to check whether the restored pictures capture what the experience was really like. it's a spectacular terrain and the beauty of it — sharp contrast between the blackness of space and the horizon of the moon. i'll never forget it. it was so dramatic. now others will soon get to see this for themselves. next week, nasa's new megarocket will attempt to launch for the first time. eventually, it will be returning humans to the moon. that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. for 50 years, we've been captivated by the apollo missions — witnesses to history as it unfolds — but soon, the moon will be viewed through the eyes of a new generation. rebecca morelle, bbc news.

the winner of the leadership contest as soon as they walk through the door in downing street. but the problem with that is, any plans they choose full tilt take time to implement, systems will either have to be changed or put into place, things will have to be put into place. it will not be an instant fix. the chancellor in his interview with the telegraph says what a few options can be, loans for energy company so they can take £500 of the bills is one of them. he didn't rule out freezing the price cap is what labour suggested as well. we know that those plans are being drawn up but people are getting impatient. tory mps are getting impatient. 0ne tory mps are getting impatient. 0ne tory mps are getting impatient. 0ne tory mp said on twitter this evening, it is a very serious issue. robert halford is saying similar things. we do only have just over a week of this contest left, but i

10:42 pm
the road yesterday and he was on what sounded to be an animated conversation with his energy company about the fact that his direct debits were about to go up to an unaffordable degree. this is the point, it is fine saying people can wait for ten days, but when energy companies ask you to increase your direct debit payments, or they will do it automatically, we sign a mandate to allow them to alter them? it is just silly money now. there was something said earlier today, for some household mostly single people, they live alone and they are predicting energy costs will end up outstripping their income, they will be 120% their income, which is complete madness. this is why we are
10:43 pm
seeing this whole thing of don't pay campaign taking off. charities are warning people, they really shouldn't that if they can help it. it is a very good way of getting yourself in trouble quite quickly, energy companies could cut you off. but you can see why people are being driven to thinking that kind of solution may be the only way, because the figures are so high. i think the other interesting thing is, there is something in the times from rishi sunak tomorrow, he talks about people have to accept this is going to be a multi—billion pound situation, the government will have to put enough money into this eventually, it is not a question of if, it is when and how. i think we will have to see something eventually because the figures are silly at this point. it is eventually because the figures are silly at this point.— silly at this point. it is one we will come _ silly at this point. it is one we will come back _ silly at this point. it is one we will come back to. _ silly at this point. it is one we will come back to. the - silly at this point. it is one we i will come back to. the telegraph gives us a couple of interesting stories. actually, let“s
