The Happy Pod: Beers, braids and bonding
We meet the men on a mission to help fellow Dads connect with their daughters, through a movement called 'pints and ponytails'. It's a chance to learn how to do a range of girls' hairstyles, over a couple of beers. But organisers say they leave with more than just salon skills - as the shared experience encourages men to open up about other parenting challenges.
Also: an unexpected solution that could help in the fight againt both plastic pollution and Parkinson's disease.
Rhinos return to a national park in Uganda for the first time in more than forty years. It's hoped they'll help establish a thriving population -- improving the ecosystem, creating jobs and attracting tourists.
Plus - aging well: Researchers found that around a third of people over the age of 65 saw improvements in their physical and mental abilities.
And how a holiday souvenir from Morocco turned out to be a previously unknown type of rock.
Our weekly collection of inspiring, uplifting and happy news from around the world.
