China Moon Mission Lands Spacecraft

China has become the first country to land a space probe on the far side of the moon as it attempts to become a major space power.

Also on the programme: South Korea says North Korea's ambassador to Italy has gone into hiding with his wife; and Democrats to pass funding bills as they take control of House in the US.
