The fury of Hurricane Ian, an amazing planking cyclist and remembering Coolio
In this week’s videos, we look at the devastating effects of Hurricane Ian, which has wreaked havoc across southwest Florida; more than two million people lost power and thousands sought refuge.
There is a touching tribute to Grammy-award-winning hip hop legend Coolio, who died earlier this week. Coolio’s 1995 hit song Gangsta’s Paradise won the rapper a Grammy for best solo rap performance and was on the soundtrack for the film Dangerous Minds, starring Michelle Pfeiffer.
Don’t miss pop star Lizzo’s surprising performance, and watch Ryan Reynolds put aside his faux-feud with Hugh Jackman to bring us the next instalment of Deadpool.
