The Chang'e-3 is due to land on the moon and undertake scientific experiments.
Chang'e-3 will carry a lunar lander, dubbed4 Yutu, or Jade5 Rabbit.
The mission will see Yutu land on an unexplored area of the moon known as the Bay of Rainbows.
The 6-wheeled rover will take various samples of the region for around 3-months.
This will be the first time Chinese space authorities will attempt to land a vehicle on the lunar surface.
 
France to increase force in Central African Republic

France, a former colonial power in the CAR, is planning to send in at least a thousand French troops, once it gets UN authorization6, which is expected to be passed by resolution next week.
France's defense7 minister says the mission is expected to last for around 6-months, depending on the time-table set-out by the United Nations.

Israeli army kills 2 Palestinian militants11 in clashes in West Bank

The Israeli army says the two were militants planning to unleash12 a 'lethal13 attack' inside Israel, as they were travelling with explosives and weapons in their vehicle.
The Israeli side says the two were on their way to carry out their attack when they were intercepted14 by Israeli forces.
Palestinian sources say the area near the West Bank city of Hebron where the incident took place has since been sealed off by the Israeli military.
 
Berlusconi's revived party withdraws support for Italian gov't
The political party of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is withdrawing its support from the current coalition15 government.
The center-right Forza Italia party says it also plans to vote against the government of current PM Enrico Letta in a forthcoming confidence vote.
However, Letta's coalition should have enough support to survive the vote, given that many members of the former Berlusconi government coalitions16 have now sided with Letta.
The move by Berlusconi's party comes just a day before the Italian senate moves to vote on whether to strip the media mogul of his parliamentary seat following his conviction for tax fraud.
 
China loosens requirements for private pilot licenses18
Chinese central authorities are loosening the restrictions19 on private pilot licences.
The Civil Aviation Administration is making it easier for individuals to obtain their flying certificates by lowering the testing requirements.
Under the previous restrictions, anyone in China hoping to get their pilots license17 had to go through a process similar to earning a commerical pilots license.
Under the new rules, individuals will now only have to go through 40 hours of theoretical training and 40-hours of flight training before they can get their private pilots license.
 
China's Supreme20 Court opens trial on Internet giants
The case between Chinese Internet giants Qihoo 360 and Tencent over monopolies and unfair practices has opened in China's Supreme People's Court.
Antivirus software developer Qihoo 360 and Tencent have been engaged in a protracted21 legal war since 2010.
The Supreme Court is being asked to define what the "Internet marketplace" is, and whether Tencent holds a monopoly in said marketplace. 
Legal experts are anticipating the hearings before the Supreme Court may set a benchmark for anti-monopoly lawsuits22, which have been rare since the anti-monopoly laws took effect in 2008.
 
China's tax bureau says misunderstanding caused property developer-CCTV tussle23
China's state tax bureau says a legal misunderstanding is behind a new tussle between property developers and China Central Television.
The comments from the tax bureau come after the state broadcaster reported numerous property development companies owe trillions of yuan in unpaid24 land taxes.
The State Administration of Taxation25 now says the "estimates" of huge amounts of unpaid land appreciation26 taxes are not accurate.
The tax bureau says the CCTV report is a "misunderstanding and misreading" of the current tax policies.
