The US, Britain and Australia announce a security deal over concerns about China's growing military might in the Indo-Pacific region. China has denounced the move saying it was part of a Cold War mentality. We hear about four ordinary citizens who've blasted off to space in the latest SpaceX mission. And to the Netherlands where descendants of African slaves are being allowed to change their westernised names free of charge.
