NFSA YOUTUBERS
First up, to a plan to save a bunch of Aussie YouTube videos for future generations. Whether it's gaming videos, sport, vlogs, or, well, anything really. YouTube is the place where billions of people around the world go to watch video content, and now, for the first time ever, some of Australia's favourite YouTubers are becoming part of the Aussie archives. YouTube has just partnered with the National Film and Sound Archive, which is basically Australia's storehouse for movies and TV, radio shows, music and games, and now YouTube videos thanks to something called the Creator Capsule, which has inducted 10 YouTubers all up, and more than 300 videos. That includes comedy duo Theodore and Nathan Saidden, musician Tash Sultana, kids' entertainers 'Bounce Patrol', and maths teacher Eddie Woo. And those who run the archive say it's about adapting with the times.
LIV GOLF
This year's Liv Golf season is set to end a little earlier than originally planned. The Liv Golf Tour, which brings together some of the world's top players was set to hold its team championship in Michigan in the US next week, but it's now announced the champion will be crowned this week in Indianapolis instead, with Liv Golf's CEO saying they want to put their resources into what comes next. Back in April, Liv Golf lost its future funding from the Saudi Arabian government, which has cast some doubt over the tour's future, including its Adelaide event. But the tournament says it's secured an agreement with a new investor that will keep the league going through to next year.
SEED SCHOOL
Now we're going to meet some students in South Australia, who are taking part in a program called SEEDS to help preserve endangered plant species.
BIG OMELETTE
First up, to lots and lots of eggs being cracked and scrambled on the streets of Belgium. It's all to make a very large omelette. Yes, this is a yearly festival that brings in tourists from all over, and is meant to show how simple things like this can bring a community together. There's just one thing I'll say though. That looks a bit more like scrambled eggs than any omelette I've ever had.
INDONESIAN SUPERMAN
Now to Kalimantan in Indonesia, where 15 year old Rudiansyah here has been battling wildfires in his hometown, dressed as superman. After school, he's made a habit of helping out the local firefighting crew. Central Kalimantan has been hit hard by fires recently, which have destroyed crops and farmland.
FAST ROBOT
And finally to a coffee shop in China run by robots, which has just set a world record for serving the most cups of coffee in an hour. It made 202 drinks, completely autonomously, on its opening day with an average wait time of just 30 seconds.
