Hey kids, South Australia is on a mission to make under-14s go cold turkey on social media like TikTok and Instagram! They think it’s time to shield young eyes from the not-so-kid-friendly stuff online. It's going to be tough, but they're trying to make the internet a safer space.

Over in Belgium, it's business in the front, party in the back at the Festival of the Mullet. More than 200 hair heroes rocked their cool cuts. Who knew a haircut could be the star of the show?
