Astronauts bake first cookies in space, but it takes two hours longer than on earth

The first cookies have been baked in space by astronauts at the International Space Station. The experiment was led by the space station's Italian commander Luca Parmitano, with assistance from NASA astronaut Christina Koch.

France Announces Two Cases of the Coronavirus from China, the first in Europe

The deadly coronavirus has travelled all the way to Europe as France has announced two cases of a deadly new virus from China, the first in Europe.

That person is hospitalised in the southwestern city of Bordeaux. The other person is in a Paris hospital. The ministe...
