it took a lot of work to get shaun into shape for the mission. making him a great fit for thejob. it s perfect for shaun, really. he is such a cute, cheeky little character. i can only imagine he would love to have such a big adventure. it s always what he is trying to do in all of his little episodes! and this was the rocket shaun was riding on. blasting off last november for the start of the artemis mission. giving him a close up view of the moon that others are hoping they will also see one day. it s an absolute thrill to be thinking about following in shaun s footsteps. going around the moon, getting involved with all the artemis missions. it would be an absolute pleasure to do that and we will see what the future holds, definitely. shaun the sheep has joined an exclusive club, travelling on a 1.5 million mile journey that most humans, and sheep, could only dream about. but there are more moon missions to come so this could be just the start! so will it be the moon again,
died suddenly aged 67. king charles has arrived in germany for his first overseas state visit since succeeding his mother as the british monarch. he and his wife camilla, the queen consort, were greeted with a ceremonial gun salute shortly after their plane landed in berlin. they then travelled on to the brandenburg gate. where there was an official welcome hosted by president frank walter steinmeier. the landmark was once associated with the country s division during the cold war, and is a symbolic site in its subsequent reunification. it s the first ceremonial welcome ever held there for a visiting head of state. the visit is being seen as part of a move by the uk to improve relationships with its european neighbours. it includes a visit to the german president s residence, bellevue palace, where the king and queen consort signed the guest book and will enjoy a state banquet in their honour. president steinmeier says he is looking forward to working with britain on future
which is notoriously europe s most liberal party capital, then stay away because he mightjust create the kind of lifelong memories that won t serve you well in the future. they are trying to deter the drunk and disorderly, and discourage behaviour that residents have been complaining about for a long time. they have told me in the past about british tourists urinating in the streets and canals, being sick everywhere, getting naked and that is the kind of behaviour they want to get rid of. but i have been speaking to young brits arriving here and many say it is outrageous, we are being stereotyped, this is discrimination. in fact, that kind of sentiment is echoed among some coffee shop cannabis cafe owners i have spoken to. 0ne told me they come for the weed but then they stay for the van gogh.
i just want to spin the camera around and show you here, can you see those billboards over there? they say, i live here . this was part of a recent campaign designed to remind visitors that this is also a residential area. just here on some of the lamp posts there are also signs reminding people it is illegal to drink alcohol on the streets in this area. but when i speak to local residents who live along the canals nearby they say it s not the young brits who are causing the problems, although they are notorious here among some for peeing in the canals, being sick all over the place. actually most people say it s the over tourism, it s the sheer numbers that the city can t cope with any more. and there are others, i ve been speaking to cannabis cafe owners who say, well, of course some brits come for the weed because that s one of the novelty factors that draws people in. but then they stay for the museums.
