1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: Caalaroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:09,439 --> 00:00:11,919
good news stories. A man who ran the entire length

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,880
of the UK to honor his late parents got a

4
00:00:14,919 --> 00:00:17,640
boost from one of the world's biggest pop stars. I'll

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,359
tell you who it is in a second. Laws set

6
00:00:20,399 --> 00:00:23,440
out on an extraordinary challenge, running roughly eight hundred and

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,480
fifty miles from one end of the UK to the

8
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:29,480
other in under seventeen days. Yeah, that's fifty kilometers a day.

9
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:33,000
That means he did over two marathons every day. Wow.

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,039
Laws lost his mother to cancer in twenty twenty after

11
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:39,479
a decade long battle with the disease. Three years later,

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,920
his father passed away after living with heart disease. He explained,

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,560
running became my lifeline through grief. What began as a

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,240
way to manage panic attacks and sleepless nights quickly turned

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,759
into something much more a path forward. I hear you.

16
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:52,759
When my mother was sick there for a couple of

17
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:54,520
years theres One day I was stressed and I ran

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,280
out the front door, and I was running a lot

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,520
at that time, no destination. I just needed to shake

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,520
off the stress. I wound up doing nine miles that

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,599
day anyway. Las's goal was to raise eight thousand pounds

22
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:07,959
for four charities that had touched his family's life, including

23
00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:12,079
organizations supporting cancer research, heart disease, children's healthcare, and mental health.

24
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:14,760
As he crossed the country, he posted daily updates on

25
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:18,959
social media. Many of those updates included messages directed at

26
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:24,000
Harry Styles inviting Harry Styles to join him for a run. Well,

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,239
Harry never showed up, but he was paying attention. A

28
00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:28,799
few days another challenge, Laws got a message from the

29
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:31,719
Harry Styles team inviting Laws to attend one of the

30
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:35,760
Wembley Stadium shows, and then Harry Styles donated two thousand

31
00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:39,519
pounds to the fundraiser. He said, means so much, Thank

32
00:01:39,519 --> 00:01:42,719
you Harry and Harry's team. Also from the UK, a

33
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,920
supermarket chain has claimed an unofficial world record after creating

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,640
what they say is the world's largest Picky Bits meal.

35
00:01:51,239 --> 00:01:54,799
The folks at Iceland Foods assembled a giant snack spread

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,040
covering a sixty five foot long table with more than

37
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,239
fifteen thousand individual eyes items. The feast included one thousand

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,000
cocktail sausages, fifteen hundred sausage rolls, eight hundred Scotch eggs,

39
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:09,919
and more than one hundred kilograms of cheese. Now the

40
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,439
total sidebar here in my own life. That's the second

41
00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:15,719
time today that sausage rolls have come up in Now

42
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:19,400
I'm craving sausage rolls. I digress. The display was so

43
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,400
large that organizers used a drone to capture the entire

44
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:26,319
table from above. A spokesperson for the Iceland chain said,

45
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:28,439
piggy bits have become a bit of a national obsession,

46
00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:30,719
so we wanted to celebrate them in the biggest way possible.

47
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:32,919
Seeing hundreds of people come together to tuck into the

48
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,960
feast was a real celebration of the nation's love for

49
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:38,479
this type of food. In Spain, a new floating solar

50
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:41,759
platform could help unlock a vast new source of clean

51
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:45,759
energy without taking up any land. Blue Newables lowered a

52
00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:49,319
platform into the water and a shipyard. They're going to

53
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:51,719
tow it to the waters off Valencia, where engineers will

54
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:55,280
test how it performs in real world ocean conditions. The

55
00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:59,479
new platform combines floating structures with bifacial solar panels, which

56
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,680
can capture online from both sides. Because the insulation sits

57
00:03:02,719 --> 00:03:06,159
over water, it may benefit from cooler operating temperatures, potentially

58
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,840
improving efficiency. In Australia, a town crier has made the

59
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:15,039
record books. Joseph, professionally known as Lord Joseph, has there

60
00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:18,080
in the Guinness World Record. His yell is an astonishing

61
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,080
one hundred and twenty two point four decibels. That's as

62
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,400
loud as a rock concert and almost as loud as

63
00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:26,039
a jet. Joseph told Guinness when I was a kid,

64
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,840
I didn't really have a loud voice. That was very

65
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:29,800
shy until I left school and I joined the theater.

66
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:31,879
It was very clear then I needed to pipe up.

67
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:36,879
And in Texas, be on the lookout for at giraffe.

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,360
I'm pretty sure if you see a giraffe, that's the

69
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,199
one we're looking for. She's Greasy, and she escaped from

70
00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:44,800
the Cedar Hollow Ranch and has wandered off into the

71
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,120
Texas Hill Country. Gracie the giraffe was last spotted on

72
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:50,560
a game camera west of the town of Leaky, So

73
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:52,719
if you're over there and you see a giraffe, I'm

74
00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:56,080
pretty sure it's Greasy. The ranch has offered a five

75
00:03:56,319 --> 00:03:59,680
thousand dollars reward for information that leads to Greasy's safe

76
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:03,360
for two officials say Gracie can be identified by her

77
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,599
rounded ears, and are urging anyone who spots the wandering

78
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,520
draft to contact local authorities rather than attempting to approach her.

79
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,000
Thanks for the rounded ears tip, but I'm pretty sure

80
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:16,319
if I see a loose giraffe in Texas, that's Gracie.

81
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,879
You know, Am I wrong? Is this a thing? Or

82
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:23,000
they're just drafs wandering they're Texas? Let me know. Those

83
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,600
are your five good news stories for today
