It鈥檚 often said we know more about the surface of the Moon than we do about the Earth鈥檚 deep sea, and a new study is backing that up. Research from the Ocean Discovery League says just 0.001% of the world鈥檚 deep seafloor has ever been seen by humans.

We speak to lead author and deep sea explorer Dr Katy Croff Bell and marine biologist Dr Anna Gebruk from the University of Edinburgh, to ask whether we should be making more effort to investigate our oceans.

As events take place to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, presenter Victoria Gill also speaks to Professor David Edgerton from King鈥檚 College London to discuss what impact the Second World War had on scientific research and innovation.

We鈥檙e also joined by Penny Sarchet, managing editor at New Scientist, to look through some of the top science stories you might have missed this week.

And as David Attenborough celebrates his 99th birthday with the release of his latest film Ocean, we take a trip through the archives to hear some of his finest moments from more than 70 years of broadcasting.
