Hey, how's it going? Amelia here.
Let's see what's making news.
Massive protests are still happening in the US
after a black man died last week in police custody.
While some of those protests have been violent,
there have also been some amazing moments of people coming together.
12-year-old Kedron Bryant has a simple message.
# I just want to live
# I just want to live. #
The video's gone viral
with people like Barack Obama and Lebron James sharing it
to their millions of followers.
Kedron's one of thousands of people over in America
trying to have his voice heard
after the death of a man named George Floyd.
Over the past week it's been through protests like these.
Some cities have brought in curfews,
which means people aren't allowed out at night, and the National Guard,
which is a reserve army, has been sent in to control them.
Now George's family have spoken out, asking for the violence to end.
If I'm not over here messing up my community...
..then what are y'all doing?
Because that's not gonna bring my brother back at all.
But many of the protests have been peaceful.
Some police officers have been paying tribute
and this sheriff even joined in one of the marchers.
(CROWD CHANTS)
(CHEERING)
Around the world others are also showing their support
through tributes and solidarity protests.
They've taken place in countries like France and New Zealand,
and now here in Australia.
Black lives matter! Black lives matter!
The music industry is showing its support for George Floyd too.
It's calling today Blackout Tuesday.
Most of the major labels have put a halt on releasing new music
and given employees a day off.
You also might have seen the hashtag #TheShowMustBePaused,
with some big name artists pausing things like interviews,
recording and live performances.
NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken are settling in on the ISS
after arriving in the first SpaceX capsule.
And apparently it's been very smooth sailing.
MAN: We didn't feel the docking.
It was just so smooth and then we were docked,
which in shuttle you felt a little bit of a jolt.
Now, you might know someone who can fly a drone,
but do you know someone who can really fly a drone?
Well, if you know Heath from Crooble in northern New South Wales
then you'd say yes,
because he can fly a drone.
Zipping around his family's farm at speeds of up to 150km/h,
he's no stranger to danger.
Yeah, it's like, there's nothing else like it.
Heath Wibley started flying drones five years ago when he was 15,
but he doesn't just fly them.
He also makes them himself.
There's a whole tuning side to it, so, like,
some people say it's like a guitar, but it's 10 times harder than that.
You have to connect it to the computer, then fly it and test it,
fly it and test it.
His family's massive farm makes other drone racers pretty jealous.
He can go as fast as he likes whenever and wherever he likes.
Everyone comments like, "Wow,
"you're so lucky to have that to walk out your door
"and just be able to fly," and yeah, it is pretty lucky to have it.
And if you're thinking, "Wow,
"somebody should give this man an award," well, you're right.
Last year Heath won Freestyle Champion
at the Australian Drone National Awards, a title he hopes to defend
if and when this year's competition goes ahead.
Now it's time to say goodbye coronavirus and hello fun
because it's a grand reopening.
(CHEERING)
Actually, forget ribbon-cutting.
This is a much more festive way to celebrate the grand reopening
of the Colosseum in Rome.
Red, green and white lights were reflected onto the famous landmark
to remind everyone that it's in Italy, in case they forgot.
Because that's the Italian flag.
Why isn't anyone cutting a ribbon?
Anyway, these gates also just reopened -
the gates to Taronga Zoo in Sydney.
Yes, visitors were clearly excited to see the animals again.
CHILD: Little monkey!
Whether the animals were just as thrilled to see the visitors
is up for debate.
And speaking of visitors...
Uh...
This highly regarded restaurant in the US had a grand reopening,
but only for humans of the, um, plastic variety?
Give this gentleman some wine. Something expensive.
The owner thought this might be a charming way to social distance
real-life diners under restrictions.
Although the word I'd use is 'creepy'.
Anyway, that's all the news for now.
I'll be back with more tomorrow. See you then.
