Hello, it's Nat here.
Let's check out what's in the news.
Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift,
Billie Eilish,
The Rolling Stones, Beyonce...
Sounds like I'm just listing off
a bunch of famous people.
But all those celebrities
and many more
have united for
One World Together At Home.
A virtual online concert thanking and
celebrating the front line workers
of the COVID-19 pandemic.
LEELA: Lady Gaga wants to make you...
# Smile. #
Billie wants to ease...
# The pain. #
And Sean reminds us...
# What a wonderful world. #
..we live in.
These were just some of the
standout performances
in the six-hour digital event
and two-hour television broadcast.
All to help money for the
World Health Organisation
and it's raised more than
$230 million.
But, celebrities aren't
calling on everyday people for money.
Instead, they want big companies
and the superrich to pitch in.
Three of the biggest talk show hosts
hosted
and basically all the musicians
you can think of performed.
Taylor Swift.
# The button of my coat were
tangled in my hair... #
The Rolling Stones.
# You can't always get
what you want.. #
Hey, he's not even playing the drums.
Elton John.
Lizzo.
# A change gonna come... #
Even a few Aussies.
Everyone was broadcasting
from their homes
and we heard some thoughtful tips to
stay safe during this pandemic.
Stay home!
Alright, let's see those hands!
I don't wanna be anywhere near ya!
Hey, this social distancing thing
is kind of a Grouch's dream.
I reckon this was just what
the world needed.
As The Rolling Stones say,
sometimes...
# You just might find,
you get what you need. #
TV shows around Australia
have had to halt production
because of COVID-19.
But next week, long-running drama
Neighbours will start up again.
Things will look a little different,
because cast and crew will be
following a bunch of new rules.
There'll be no kissing,
no holding hands,
1.5 metres physical distancing,
men won't wear any make-up,
women won't have theirs touched up,
and they'll use some fancy
camera work
to make actors appear closer together
than they actually are.
When good neighbours become good
socially distant friends.
Believe it or not, there's still
quite a bit of sport going on.
We've got AFLW awards,
online FIFA tournaments and more.
CALE: OK, look, I know the
AFLW season ended early,
and I know we didn't get
a premiership winner,
but it doesn't mean we can't have
personal awards, right?
Well, today the AFLW handed out
all of its accolades.
Kiara Bowers took home
Most Courageous Player,
Daisy Pearce with Best Captain,
and Jasmine Garner
snagged the top gong
as the competition's
most valuable player.
We have got a winner here, though,
folks.
Ohhhhhh!
FC Copenhagen's Mo Daramy
defeated Jesper Karlstrom
in the final of the inaugural
Stayandplay Cup.
The comp was set up by EA Sports
to raise money for a worldwide
coronavirus relief fund.
And in the end it all came down to
a golden goal.
(CHEERS) Come on!
Alright, groms.
It's time to jump on your skateboard,
whack on your zinc,
and get your bed sheets out,
'cause surf's up.
Thomas Covetti made this totally
tubular video
for the World Surf League's
Home Break challenge.
Encouraging surfer's to
make their own waves, literally.
I guess Thomas has found a way to
hang ten
before he hangs out the washing.
While many of us are keeping busy
indoors,
let's check in with the animal
kingdom as the get out and about.
Isolation might be driving
some of us hopping mad.
But at least you're not far
away from home like this kangaroo.
South Australian police
traced the roo
as it bounced through the empty
streets of Adelaide.
Well, mostly empty.
How many police does it take
to catch a pig?
Well, I can't say for sure,
but it took these three 45 minutes,
to catch this little piggy.
(LAUGHS) Get him, Mike.
But the cheeky trotter is now at
animal control
waiting for his owners.
And these little pandas might not yet
bet out and about
but they are certainly on show
at this research base in China.
They were born last month,
but only now have they been named.
They're names are (SPEAKS CHINESE)
which translated means "dry hot
noodle" and "baked egg pancake."
Someone was obviously very hungry.
That's all we've got time for today,
but we'll be back tomorrow.
Catch you then.
