Top videos: Cate’s clanger, plane hell and comet
This week, there was pandemonium in parliament and a “fully conscious baby” that got the internet talking.
Plus, we got a look inside the Scorsese home and a passenger on the Singapore Airlines flight hit with severe turbulence detailed what happened inside the cabin.

Rishi Sunak drowned out by rain, music
Standing in the rain on Downing Street, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called a general election.
He wasn’t just competing with the rain, he was also competing with loud music which was heard throughout the street.
‘Middle class’
Reflecting on her work as an UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, actress Cate Blanchett caused a stir by referring to herself as “middle class”.
Her estimated net-worth is in the millions, so the comment didn’t go over too well on social media.
@apnewsentertainment In Cannes, Cate Blanchett reflects on her experience as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, and the importance of giving filmmakers who are refugees a platform to tell their stories. #cateblanchett #unhcr #cannes
Runaway bill
A lawmaker in Taiwan was so eager to ensure a bill was not passed, he snatched it out of the hands of another politician and ran.
Others in the room attempted to catch the man, but he managed to shake them off and outrun them.

The Scorsese home
Martin Scorsese and his daughter Francesca have given us a peek inside their home, which is a movie-lover’s dream.
Of course, the famed director couldn’t help but give some direction.
@francescascorsese We’re movie lovers… #fyp #dadsoftiktok #martinscorsese #movielovers
Fully conscious baby
A baby in a viral video has freaked out the internet this week. Two young children were asked if they wanted to go to the Four Seasons in Orlando.
The baby, now dubbed the “fully conscious baby” raised her hand and said “me”, leading people to question how the baby even knows how to respond to that question?
@sobrizzle If the @Four Seasons Hotels is looking for a baby ambassador my niece got you 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Dog tries to eat bacon
A very sweet dog called Kira has not yet realised she cannot eat what is on the TV.
Kira was seen relentlessly licking the TV, which was displaying some bacon cooking in a pan.

Bears get the zoomies
Dogs aren’t the only ones who get the zoomies. Two bear siblings at Brookfield Zoo in the US were seen having a ball.
It looked as though the two were playing some sort of chasing game and getting a little bit rough, which of course, is the sibling way.
@brookfieldzoo Check out our brown bear pair having zoomies over at Great Bear Wilderness! 🐻🐻 #brownbears #bearsoftiktok #animalsoftiktok
The middle seat
Robert Irwin shared a video of some seals, which perfectly captures what it is like to be in the middle seat on a plane.
A poor little seal was seen wedged between two larger seals. “I mean even the aisle would do,” the wildlife warrior said.
@robertirwin I mean even the aisle would do…
