scientists hope they'll be the first to explore the lunar south pole.from our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news — it's newsday. good morning. it's 7am in singapore, midnight in london and 7:00 in the morning in hong kong where the authorities have defended the police, after groups of pro—democracy protesters were attacked by gangs of masked men at a train station. 45 people were injured in the incident, which happened after a rally in the centre of the city. opposition politicians have accused police of being suspiciously slow to arrive at the scene. you may find some of the pictures in stephen mcdonell‘s report upsetting. gangs were waiting when pro—democracy activists arrived. their attack was brutal. using home—made weapons, they set upon individual protesters. one of those at the train station was this man. when police did arrive, the injured were many and today a spokeswoman for the local station faced an angry crowd. they accused officers of collusion with gang members. passions are running high here today. the police are try

no i think the most exciting bit is the fact that they tend to well be soft landing on the south pole of the moon and i think that's something that has no other country has that the so far but this is also to be lived in the larger context of the general space competition that's picking up even within this domain so you had china outperforming the soft landing on the far side of the mornin january this year they landed or in the near side of the moon couple of years ago so this is a larger competition that is picking up ever since the u.s. . came into office he talked about going back to the moon again so this has to be looked at in that context i think that's also part of the part of the calculation in a sense i did not undertook the 1st mission in 2008 when there was not so much of this competition and this was supposed to be a follow up mission for the next couple of years but obviously we had some delays with the mission of the robot in particular and therefore i think the delay has happened but the meantime you have had this geopolitics of space picking up that's that's that's ho

now we know there are hundreds of millions of tons of water ice on the south pole. that represents air to breathe and water to drink and hydrogen .nd oxygen same rocket fuel that powers the space shuttles and it is available on the south side of the moon. so we are doing it differently this time. the direction is to go sustainably. to have access to the moon any time, and the integrity of the moon so we do not miss another stunning discovery like water ice, which we missed for almost 40 minute -- 40 years. so we want to go back sustainably and have access to all parts of the moon anytime we want and we want to use this as the proving ground. this is the proving ground. it is how we learn to live and work in another world using the resources of that world so we can take that technology to mars. that is the long-term vision. we have a good start. certainly have come in the budget request, what we need to come out of the gate, i suggest that the 2021 budget request will have more details as far as the trades we need to make within the option space to go to the moon sus
