World leaders met in Peru to chat about big issues like trade and climate change. And guess what? They wore traditional Peruvian shawls for a group photo! It’s a tradition that sometimes leads to some pretty special outfits. Ethiopia is partying for Lucy, a fossil superstar who walked the Earth 3.2 million years ago. Discovered 50 years ago, she’s proof humans were upright much earlier than we thought. A robotic whale shark is making waves in a Chinese aquarium. Conservationists love the idea, but some visitors want to see real sharks. Cool tech or fin-tastic flop? Dive in and decide! Slacklining pros balanced 2.5 km above the ground between two hot air balloons! It’s a new Guinness World Record and definitely not a hobby for the faint of heart. Watch the video and gasp!

In Azerbaijan, artists have created a giant, smelly model of a dead whale filled with rotten fish to grab attention during important climate talks. Paris’s famous Notre Dame Cathedral is about to re-open after a big restoration from a 2019 fire. Three new bells have been added to celebrate its return, including one rung by Olympic gold medal winners!
