We asked you what news stories you wanted covered this week and from sunscreen SFP fails to Keith and Nicole's break up, Trump's new plan for Gaza and Nurses being able to prescribe our medications, there was one thing we still hadn't touched on.

You asked us to cleanse the timeline. The news right now, has been a lot, and you were keen to hear something that held a little more hope.

Today, we hear more about Robert Irwin's adventures on Dancing With The Stars, find out why Mary Fowler was keen to take to the Paris fashion week runway and we speak to Mamamia's resident Swiftie Tina Burke, about all the exhausting things happening around Taylor Swift's new album release.

And there's more, have a listen and get into the long weekend with a little more light in your news feed

And in headlines today, Travellers heading to America or France may have holiday plans interrupted due to Paris protests and the US government shut down; British police have declared a deadly rampage on a synagogue in northern England a terror attack; Gangland kingpin Tony Mokbel will finally learn today whether his bid to quash drug convictions over the Lawyer X scandal has succeeded; Nicole Kidman has turned to the one person who has always been by her side in hard times, her sister Antonia, the pair seen hiking in Nashville in the aftermath of Nicole's divorce filing from husband Keith Urban
