## Resource

In a week where: Hip-Hop Pioneer Afrika Bambaataa dies aged 67. Artemis II Astronauts Splash Down, Completing First Lunar Voyage in 53 Years. Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum announces roll-out of Universal Healthcare. Viktor Orbán concedes defeat in Hungarian election after 16 years in power. Rory McIlroy goes back to back at The Masters. In Politics: (13:27) Sanctions are typically seen as "hard diplomacy", damaging a country economically without directly killing civilians.

So what what were they doing and what are the underlying reasons for such events? ( Article By Moya Lothian-McLean ) Lastly, in Music: (1:01:02) I love Dub.
