China honors Shenzhou-12 mission astronauts with medals
Three astronauts of the Shenzhou-12 spaceflight mission have been awarded medals for their service to China's space endeavors.
Nie Haisheng, commander of the Shenzhou-12 spacecraft, was honored with a first-class aerospace achievement medal.
Liu Boming was conferred a second-class medal, while Tang Hongbo received a third-class medal and the honorary title "heroic astronaut."
The awards were given by the Communist Party of China Central Committee, the State Council and the Central Military Commission.
Launched on June 17, Shenzhou-12 for the first time sent astronauts to China's space station core module Tianhe, where they lived for three months, the longest time Chinese astronauts have spent in space so far.
The Shenzhou-12 mission was the third space mission for Nie, and his second deployment as commander. He is the first Chinese astronaut to spend 100 days in space. It was Liu's second space mission and Tang's first.
The Shenzhou-12 mission is part of China's plan to build a permanent manned space station.

La Nina alert issued for Australia's east
Australia's Bureau of Meteorology has declared a La Nina weather pattern which is set to affect the northern and eastern parts of the country in the summer.
Andrew Watkins, the head of operational climate services, says he expects Australia will record more than average number of tropical cyclones, and an increased risk of widespread flooding.
But he adds that the weather conditions will reduce the risk of the big wildfires which burned across Australia's eastern states in late 2019 and early 2020.
Australia's last major La Nina event was between the summers of 2010 and 2012 and resulted in some of the wettest years ever recorded.
