Your daily, kids news podcast. Big news in US politics: President Joe Biden won't run for a second term, passing the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris, who’s eyeing the Democratic spot. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has his party's support. While the US battles a heatwave, animals at Florida’s Palm Beach Zoo are keeping cool with special ice treats. Black bears have ice piles, sea otters munch on fishy ice blocks, tigers enjoy frozen goat milk, and giant tortoises get refreshing hose sprays. Check out the fun video here! Scientists are using Minecraft to train AI to create maps just like humans. By watching players navigate complex worlds, neural networks—special brain-like programs—learn to predict landscapes. This research might even reveal more about how our own brains work. The Paris Olympics start tonight with early competitions in rugby, archery, handball, and football. Australia’s Rugby 7s face Samoa at 11:30 PM, and the Matildas play Germany on Friday. Don’t miss the spectacular opening ceremony along the Seine River on Saturday morning. Let the games begin!
