The crew of the Shenzhou-20 mission has successfully landed aboard the Shenzhou-21 capsule at the D**gfeng landing site in Inner Mongolia on Friday following delays caused by concerns over space debris.

Astronauts Chen D**g, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie spent about six months at the Tiangong Space Station

Their return was postponed due to tiny cracks found in the viewport of the Shenzhou-20 return capsule.

The China Manned Space Agency determined Shenzhou-20 was unsafe for landing. The crew used the Shenzhou-21 craft, which had delivered a replacement crew two weeks earlier.

Shenzhou-20 will remain in orbit for more experiments. A Shenzhou-22 spacecraft is planned for future launch.

The original full-year forecast was for a rise of 2 to 3 percent.

In basketball, height is important because it gives players a distinct advantage on the court.

However, it's precisely what the Hong Kong team lacks.

But if there's a will, there's a way.

The Hong Kong U22 men's squad said they will capitalise on some of their other advantages, such as determination and team spirit, to stand out on the court.

A light truck crashed into a market in South Korea on Thursday, ploughing 150 metres along a passageway lined with stalls before coming to a halt, killing two people and injuring 18, according to emergency officials and media reports.

The incident took place at a market located in Bucheon, about 20 kilometres west of the capital Seoul, a fire official said.

Two people who had suffered cardiac arrest were later confirmed to have died, the Yonhap News Agency said.

The truck appeared to reverse for 28 metres before accelerating towards the outdoor market, the fire official said.

The driver was not intoxicated when tested for alcohol, a police official said at the briefing.

Authorities added that they would hand the vehicle over to investigators to try to determine the cause of the crash.

US President Donald Trump has signed a government funding bill, ending a record 43-day shutdown that caused financial stress for federal workers who went without wages, stranded scores of travellers at airports and generated long lines at some food banks.

Trump’s signing on Wednesday night draws to a close the second government shutdown he's overseen in the White House, one that magnified the partisan divisions in Washington as his administration took unprecedented unilateral actions – including cancelling projects and trying to fire federal workers – to pressure Democrats into relenting on their demands.
