India has successfully launched its second lunar mission one week after a technical fault
India has successfully launched its second lunar mission a week after it halted the scheduled blast-off due to a technical fault. Chandrayaan-2 was launched at 14:43 local time (09:13 GMT) from the Sriharikota space station. We hear from Indian women working in the space industry.
Also, we speak to Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner. Garner was detained for allegedly selling loose cigarettes and died after being placed in a chokehold by a New York City police officer in 2014.
And two hashtags have been trending in Hong Kong: Central Authority Will Not Be Challenged and #ProtectHongKong. Our correspondent explain the latest on the anti-extradition demonstrations.
