This is an *exceptional* piece of work, and ought to be borne in mind when looking at literally any online ragebait in future.

A TikTok account that professed to be highlighting how 'illegal immigrants get free housing in London' was… well, not that at all.

Alabama has the worst maternal mortality in the United States at 60 deaths per 100K live births. For reference, California has 18 deaths per 100K live births.

But Dr. Oz thinks it’s “cool” that American citizens do not have access to good reproductive healthcare in the wealthiest nation in history.

Dr Oz: "Alabama has no OBGYNs in many of their counties, so they're doing something pretty cool. They're actually having robots do ultrasounds on these pregnant moms."

Boy saves family with 2.5-mile swim in shark-infested waters MANA SHEPHERD/ASAP, ALA James Salmon Perth A 13-year-old boy who swam for four hours through shark-infested Western Australia's waters to save his mother and two siblings after they were swept out to sea has been described as "superhuman" by rescue services. Austin Appelbee swam 25 miles to shore to raise the alarm after getting into difficulties with his mother, Joanne, 47, brother Beau, 12, and sister Grace, 8, police said.

They lost their paddles and their kayak flipped over and started sinking as it filled with water. Austin's mother realised their best chance of survival was asking her elder son to swim for shore while she tried to keep her other children from drowning "One of the hardest decisions I ever had to make was to say to Austin, "Try to get to shore and get some help, this could get really serious really quickly she told the broadcaster ABC. *I knew he was the strongest and he could do it." For the next few hours, she and her rounger children clung to their paddle boards. Austin set off on an inflatable kayak wearing a lifejacket. He abandoned the kayak after it took on water, and took off the lifejacket. Austin said he tried to focus on positive thoughts as he swam through rough seas. "The waves are massive and " he said.

* Alcaraz defeats Djokovic 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 * Spaniard is youngest male to win career grand slam * See live reaction with Daniel Harris Carlos Alcaraz has defeated Novak Djokovic to win the Australian Open men’s singles title, becoming the youngest male player to win a career grand slam.
