The crew of NASA's Artemis II moon mission will be revealed next month in what will be one of the space agency's most highly-anticipated announcements in half a century.

Three Americans and a Canadian will be unveiled to the world on April 3 as they gear up to become the first humans to travel to our lunar satellite since 1972.

The crew – set to launch to space in 18 months' time – will have already embarked on training for the mission but their identities have remained top secret ahead of NASA's announcement.

There has been speculation that Reid Wiseman, a 47-year-old test pilot who stepped down as chief of the astronaut office in November last year, could be among them.

The astronaut holding this role is traditionally involved in assigning crews for each space mission — but is not eligible to fly themselves.

The undisputed heavyweight fight between Briton Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk is "unlikely to happen next," according to the Ukrainian's promoter.

London's Wembley Stadium was booked for 29 April but Alex Krassyuk says Fury has priced himself out of the bout.

Krassyuk says a 60/40 split to the winner was rejected by Fury and Usyk could instead face Daniel Dubois next.

"I don't think Fury and Usyk will fight in April - or even next as Usyk has his mandatory obligations," he said.

Fury, 34, is the WBC champion and the 36-year-old Usyk holds the WBO, WBA and IBF belts.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Krassyuk added: "Unless Queensberry [Fury's promoters] somehow win a jackpot lottery and have enough money to pay Tyson's demands, it is very unlikely to happen."

Queensberry Promotions' Frank Warren, who represents Fury, said a decision on the fight "will be decided by this weekend".

On Friday, Fury posted on his social media channels offering a 70/30 split.

"From every day from today that you linger or mess around, I'll deduct one percent from the 30 per cent," he added on Instagram.

Usyk - a former undisputed cruiserweight champion - has won all 20 professional bouts, while Fury has 33 victories and one draw on his record.

Dagenham & Redbridge have appointed Ben Strevens as their new manager.

The former striker, 42, won promotion to the Football League in 2006-07 as a player with the Daggers, for whom he scored 35 goals in 125 appearances.

The National League club parted company with Daryl McMahon on 24 February, after two wins in nine games.

"It was immediately clear [Ben] has the right mix of passion and skillset," executive chairman Peter Freund told the club website

The Daggers, who entertain Oldham Athletic on 18 March, are 11th in the National League, six points outside the play-offs.

"After a thorough search conducted over the past two weeks, I am delighted that one of our own has come back to coach the club," Freund added.

Edgware-born Strevens took over as manager of Eastleigh, who currently occupy the final National League play-off spot, in October 2018.

The former Brentford and Wycombe Wanderers player won 61 of 154 games with Eastleigh but departed in January 2021 after a run of three consecutive defeats.

Franco Harris (March 7, 1950 – December 20, 2022) was an American football running back who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 13 seasons, primarily with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played college football at Penn State University and was selected by the Steelers in the first round of the 1972 NFL Draft. Harris spent his first 12 seasons with Pittsburgh, earning nine Pro Bowl selections, and was a member of the Seattle Seahawks in his last.

A four-time Super Bowl winner with the Steelers, Harris was the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of Super Bowl IX. He also scored the "Immaculate Reception" touchdown, one of professional football's most famous plays, which gave the Steelers their first playoff win en route to their first Super Bowl title. Harris was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990.

Hours before his death, Harris recorded an interview with Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward for his podcast in what would be his last public interview, during which he ironically commented about how he was "feeling good" and happy to have made it to the 50th anniversary of the "Immaculate Reception".

A newly detected asteroid has a very small chance of impacting the Earth in 2046, Nasa tweeted on Tuesday.

If it does hit, the asteroid, roughly the size of an Olympic swimming pool, may arrive on Valentine's Day 2046 according to Nasa calculations.

The closest the asteroid is expected to get to Earth is about 1.1 million miles (1.8m km), Nasa says.

But researchers are still collecting data, which they say may change predictions.

The asteroid, dubbed 2023 DW, has about a 1 in 560 chance of hitting Earth, according to Nasa. It's the only space rock on Nasa's risk list that ranks a 1 on the Torino Impact Hazard Scale.

The scale, which goes from 0-10, measures the risk of space objects colliding with Earth. All other objects on the scale rank 0, indicating no risk for impact.

A ranking of 1 means that an actual collision is extremely unlikely and no cause for public concern, Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) says.

"This object is not particularly concerning," JPL navigation engineer Davide Farnocchia told CNN.

If it does collide with us, 2023 DW would not have the same doomsday effect as the asteroid that decimated the Earth's dinosaurs 66 million years ago. That asteroid was far bigger at 7.5 miles (12km) wide, Scientific American says.

The government's rejection of all but one application for bathing water status for English rivers is "very disappointing", environmentalists say.

Part of the River Deben in Suffolk is still in the running but campaigners for clean water say proposals for eight other river sites were declined.

Designation as an official bathing site obliges the Environment Agency to regularly test water quality.

Campaigners say they have not been told why the decisions have been made.

You can still swim in non-designated sites but it's unlikely the water quality will be monitored or tested.

Water companies currently have to provide data on how many hours raw sewage flows into waterways, but there is limited testing of what it means for water quality.

There will now be a period of public consultation on four new sites becoming officially designated as bathing water. Two are at a reservoir in Rutland with the others on the coast in Plymouth, as well as the River Deben in Suffolk.

A potential Wooden Spoon decider for Wales against Italy in Rome. And the visitors are the underdogs.

Not something that would have been thought possible for Wales during Warren Gatland's first 12-year stint in charge.

But that is the reality facing the visitors this Saturday in the Eternal City.

Wales have found themselves battling more often than not for Six Nations trophies over the last 20 years.

Now they find themselves hoping to avoid finishing bottom of the table.

The tournament was expanded from the Five Nations in 2000 to accommodate the Italians, who have since propped up the standings on 17 occasions, compared to Scotland four times and Wales and France once.

It is 20 years since Wales experienced such ignominy, when Steve Hansen was in charge.

The prospect remains a real possibility unless they can defeat the hosts at the Stadio Olimpico.

Brentford keep on getting good results - they have not lost in the Premier League since 23 October, a run of 12 games.

Victory today would see Javi Gracia become the first Leeds manager to win his first two top-flight home matches in charge since Jimmy Armfield in October 1974.

Angola says it will send a military unit to eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, days after a truce it brokered failed to end fighting.

Both sides in the conflict - the M23 rebels and government troops - have accused each other of breaking the ceasefire that began on Tuesday.

An East African force was also recently deployed to the area, which is rich in minerals and has dozens of militias.

The UN says the conflict forced 300,000 people from their homes last month.

This happened in North-Kivu province, which borders Rwanda and Uganda, and is a fertile and mountainous area long plundered by rival groups.

There is increasing concern about the humanitarian crisis caused by the fighting, which was still ongoing on Friday.

The European Union has just started an operation to fly in aid to the regional capital, Goma, saying humanitarian agencies have become overwhelmed.

A statement from the Angolan president's office said the soldiers would be deployed to help secure areas that have been held by the M23 rebel group and to protect ceasefire monitors.

Kenyan soldiers, who are part of the East African Community Regional Force, have deployed to these areas too.

The rebels, who are widely reported to be backed by Rwanda, had just hours earlier said they would withdraw from several captured villages.

The Congolese government will welcome the arrival of Angolan troops to help in the fight against the rebels.

But there is a danger of this becoming a wider international conflict.

Brennan Johnson has given Wales an injury worry before Tuesday's squad announcement for Euro 2024 qualifiers against Croatia and Latvia.

The forward, 21, suffered a groin problem in Nottingham Forest's Premier League loss to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Forest boss Steve Cooper says they "don't know how bad" Johnson's injury is.

Wales go to Croatia on Saturday, 25 March and host Latvia three days later.

Forest's Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey withdrew from the bench before kick-off in the 3-1 defeat by Spurs because of a knee problem.

"Wayne felt his knee [was injured] so was unable to go on the bench," said Cooper.

Wales will go into their qualifiers without recent international retirees Joe Allen and Chris Gunter as well as the iconic Gareth Bale, who has ended his playing days altogether.
