    Lando Norris' first F1 World Drivers' Championship win / Wig requirement dropped for some UK courts / Under-16s social media ban kicks-off in Australia / Hong Kong’s Taoist festivals

    Presenters:Mike Rowse and Rainbow Leung

    On Friday's programme, we talked about McLaren's Lando Norris' first F1 World Drivers' Championship win. A former racing driver discussed the significance of Norris becoming Britain's first world champion since Lewis Hamilton.

    We then turned our attention to the courtroom, where barristers in the UK have won the right to ditch a traditional headpiece: the wig.

     

    After the break, we took a closer look at how people are coping with the world's first social media ban that was earlier implemented in Australia, targeting under 16s.

    And finally, we concluded the show by talking to a historian about a once-in-a-decade Taoist festival to ward off angry spirits.
