CHAMPIONI, CHAMPIONI…
First to Sky News, and we head up to Scotland for the news that the football team for Fort William have won their latest match against Nairn County, thus breaking a run of goalless bad luck that was one of the worst in football history. More about their victory can be seen here.
OPENING A WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES
A lovely story we came across on ABC News this next one. An organization called JetBlue have launched vending machines offering free books to young people in six of the poorest districts in New York to help boost their literacy skills during the summer holidays. More on this story here.
A LUSH PLAN TO TACKLE CO2
Finally this week, we head to the valleys with WalesOnline, as thanks to their agreement with a Swiss university, Welsh national parks will be seeing the planting of a trillion trees to help offset CO2 omissions and thus reduce climate change. Find out more about the plans here.
