DJOKOVICWorld number one Novak Djokovic is heading to Wimbledon. Djokovic was banned from competing at the Australian Open earlier this year because he was unvaccinated, but Wimbledon is set to look more normal.ERIN PHILLIPSCrows fans may want to step away for this one. AFLW champ Erin Phillips is leaving the Crows to join Port Adelaide! Phillips’ dad is a Port legend, so It’s always been her dream to follow in his footsteps and play for his club. Crows and Port already have a huge rivalry, so this just adds fuel to the fire.NICK KYRGIOSNow a celebrity basketball game is meant to be a bit fun right? Well, not if you’re Nick Kyrgios. This is him blocking New South Wales premier Dominic Perrottet. The game was organised to raise money for charity, but the tennis star showed no mercy to anyone, which has, even a few days on, attracted a fair bit of criticism.NBAThere may be no better sport than Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant. He’s been named the NBA’s Most Improved Player this season. He felt his teammate Desmond Bane actually deserved the award more, so gifted him the trophy.LISMORE CONCERTPeople in Lismore are getting a huge free concert. Aussie artists like Grinspoon and The Buckley’s will play at the flood affected town on Sunday, May 15th. The One From the Heart concert will be free for families from flood affected areas. Other big names include Lime Cordiale, Darlinghurst, and Paul Kelly.POO PLANTYou’ve probably heard a lot about renewable energy, and a new facility over in Queensland is leading the way in Australia by making it from your poo. It seems weird, but in a roundabout sort of way, your business could be big business! See, this place here in Logan in Queensland is a brand new, $28 million dollar Biosolids Gasification plant that turns sewage into renewable energy! It’s the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere and maybe even the world! It works by taking the water out of the sewage sludge, which is then dried out and put into a giant furnace and burnt. That produces gases, which are used to power the facility, and all that’s left is this, called biochar. It all means fewer trucks are transporting sewage out of town and burning fossil fuels, and scientists are working on other uses for biochar in the future too.ANTI-PROCRASTINATION CAFEThis café in Tokyo encourages people to bring their work, but won’t let you leave until you finish it all! Its goal is to help its customers fight procrastination, and it seems to be working. With writers on tight deadlines flocking from all over town. You have to fill in this sheet, which lets you choose from mild, medium or hard, depending on how often you want staff to nag you, and even stand behind you!DOG CAFEOn the total opposite side of the spectrum, is this café in Dubai for dogs. Totally, totally chill. Puppa-ccinos, you got it. All of the food here has been developed by a nutritionist, and made to look like popular café items like cupcakes and dumplings. It’s technically safe for humans to eat, too, but you never know, you may get a nasty shock biting into a piece of chocolate cake and taste roast beef instead.__________________________________________Make sure to like & subscribe to our videos if you want to stay in the know!👉 Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/behindthenews?sub_confirmation=1We have 1000s of stories on all sorts of topics – if you’re looking for help to understand something, you’ll probably find it on BTN http://www.abc.net.au/btn/ Follow us on Social Media:TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@behindthenewstvFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/abcbtn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behindthenews/ For the past 50 years, Behind the News has been helping to break down current issues and events for young people all around the world.
