In this episode of the world’s wackiest news… Find out why people in China are arguing over one of their favourite foods – dumplings – yes, we’re talking about the dim sum debate. Staying in Asia, we have a report on the futuristic cafés in South Korea where food and drink are only half the attraction. And how would you like a piece of Parisian history? Well, a chunk of France’s Eiffel Tower is being auctioned, or sold, off. Find out which bit and for how much. And just to make you feel warm and fuzzy about the world – we have two Kindness Corner stories – one featuring some heroic school kids in the US and a runaway bus. Finally, a silly and pretty gross prank that lands a French teenager in serious trouble in Singapore – you gotta listen to the end to find out why this is THE LAST STRAW!
