January 8th. A private moon mission that blasted into space on Monday appeared to be in jeopardy after suffering a “critical loss of propellant” and operators said they are considering alternatives for the mission.
After lift-off on Monday, the Peregrine Mission One (PM1) – which carries a piece of technology developed by UK scientists – experienced an “anomaly” that would have prevented the lander from achieving a stable position pointing towards the sun, according to Astrobotic, the US firm behind the project.

January 10th. Addressing MPs during Prime Minister’s Questions, Rishi Sunak said he will introduce new legislation that will ensure that “those convicted as a result of the Horizon scandal are swiftly exonerated and compensated”
He also said his government will introduce a new upfront payment of £75,000 for the “GLO group of postmasters," a reference to 555 people who successfully challenged the Post Office in 2019.

January 12th. The United States carried out an additional strike against Yemen's Houthi forces on Friday, two officials told Reuters, after President Joe Biden's administration vowed to protect shipping in the Red Sea.
