In our list this week, talk about removing US President Donald Trump has grown louder, and it is cutting across both sides of the political divide, including with the MAGA rightwing faithful. But getting the 25th Amendment isn’t going to be easy. Then we get up to speed with what’s happening to the crew of the Artemis II who splash down this weekend. And finally we look at what’s happening or what’s not happening with the FIFA World Cup broadcasting rights. The games kick off on June 11th, just two months away and we still don’t know which broadcaster will be carrying the matches.
