I believe that the video-sharing platform YouTube is one of the greatest educational tools available. I use YouTube daily to solve a variety of problems and learn information. My 14 year-old daughter has used YouTube ‘How-to’ videos to learn arts and crafts, solve maths problems, fix her phone and computer, learn about history, learn how

At least 90,000 pro-Palestine protesters walked across Sydney Harbour Bridge and into history through the pelting rain, as a larger crowd than expected used the landmark as a symbol, bringing the city to a standstill and leading police to sound the alarm of a potential crowd crush.

People in Japan experienced their hottest July on record this year, with no respite in sight for some.
