China probe brings rocks from moon

The Chang'e-5 space probe is due to land with the first lunar samples since 1976

The Chang'e space probe is due to land with the first lunar samples brought to earth since 1976. We'll get our science correspondent to explain why it's a big deal in space exploration and what else China has planned beyond the earth's atmosphere.

Billionaire MacKenzie Scott has donated $4.2bn to organisations helping people during the pandemic, including many which give out food to people who are struggling. We’ll speak to some of those groups about how they’ve seen demand grow through the year and some of the stories of the people they’re helping.

And as we continue to cover the conversation around the future relationship between the UK and EU, we speak to two Italians who - last time we spoke - were studying in the UK. Our political correspondent Rob Watson will also help us understand some of the implications for the freedom to work and study between the UK and EU.
