Good morning. Few job postings are as exciting as this one: NASA is looking for new astronauts to help grow its moon base program. In the news today: Hegseth will give his first Pentagon briefing since May as he faces possible impeachment; Trump says the FBI is looking at Nvidia CEO’s affair; and a thick smog shrouds New Delhi.

(AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta) POLITICS Hegseth faces possible impeachment Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is scheduled to give his first news conference from the Pentagon in six months on Tuesday, just a day after a Republican lawmaker launched an effort to impeach him over his handling of the unpopular war against Iran and other actions. Read more.

What to know: Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican who lost his primary to a Trump-backed opponent, filed the impeachment resolution in the House on Monday. The resolution largely focuses on the war in Iran but also includes references to Hegseth’s role in military actions in Yemen against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels and Venezuela. Massie said Hegseth’s actions amount to “high crimes and misdemeanors” and his leadership at the Pentagon “warrants impeachment.” Hegseth said he is ready to defend his and President Donald Trump’s actions from “politically motivated people.” A vote in the House could come by midweek, putting pressure on Republicans — many of whom blamed their election wipeout on the Iran war — but next steps are highly uncertain.

Read more.

Why this matters: The sudden emergence of Huang’s infidelity has rocked the political class and America’s tech sector, creating new concerns about whether China has been able to access the cutting-edge chips designed by Nvidia that are powering the development of artificial intelligence. Trump suggested the extraordinary step of directly involving himself in a counterintelligence investigation, a sign of his friendly relationship with Huang and the possible geopolitical stakes. China denied Monday that it engaged in an attempt to ensnare Huang.

Read more.

What to know: The problem becomes particularly acute in late October and November. The result is a thick haze that can linger over the capital and surrounding areas for days. Authorities in New Delhi have implemented a set of measures to curb pollution, which include limits on construction activity and restrictions on diesel generators, while courts have sought restrictions on firecrackers. But the measures have not prevented the return of severe pollution each year.

In West Africa, only a fortunate few can afford the sport. A used beginner’s surfboard costs around $200. Ibra Samb wants to make the sport more accessible. He founded a surf school in his local fishing village. Browse our photo gallery from the Senegalese coastline (made famous by the 1966 cult surf film “The Endless Summer”).
