From Novinite, Bulgaria and Russia move ahead on a gas pipeline going from Turkey to Serbia.
From Sputnik International, the Chinese lunar probe Chang'e survives its first night on the moon. (Because the moon rotates and revolves around the earth at the same angular speed, thus always pointing one face toward the earth, its night lasts about 14 earth calendar days.)
