SHOULD WE BAN HEADERS? The header! It's a massive part of soccer. But new research has shown that it might not be so good for our brains. Heading the ball is a good go to in soccer, but is it good for our bodies? See a new study found that soccer heading affects the brains chemistry and can increase future risks of brain damage and dementia. This isn't the first time there's been a link between soccer and health risks, which is why some countries like the US and the UK have banned kids from heading until their early teens. Some reckon we should do the same. While some clubs have banned it for junior, we don't have a flat out ban of it in Australia. Some say more rules and education about the risks on soccer heading could be a good place to start. BALI FLIGHTS There are big delays for travellers going to and from Bali at the moment. This volcano, Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, erupted on Tuesday spewing ash 10 kays into the sky. A bunch of flights were cancelled coming in and out of Bali and Indonesia's transport ministry said about 14,000 travellers had been disrupted. The airport is now open again, but it's going to take a bit of time to clear through the back log of delays. STATE OF ORIGIN Queensland have levelled the series in the men's State of Origin. The match came down to the wire in front almost 60,000 fans at Perth Stadium. After trailing 26 to 6 at half time, New South Wales scored 4 tries in a row, but it wasn't enough with Queensland holding on to win by 2 points. BMX KID Now we're going to meet Penny, who's currently preparing for the BMX world championships in August. HOT ANIMALS First up, to the UK where health warnings have been issued, as the country braces for its first heat wave of the season. Animals at this city farm have been keeping cool, thanks to workers making sure sheep are shorn short, ducks have plenty of water to swim in, and pigs even get sunscreen. MOOSE RUN Now to a moose on the loose in Norway! It was spotted galloping down a shopping strip in the city of Roros, surprising tourists, and even some locals. POLICE LLAMA And finally to a llama in the Chilean town of Tarapaca, which has been adopted by the local police station. Officers found the llama as a 5 day old baby, and sadly, his mother had died. So they took him in as one of their own, even taking it in turns to bottle feed him. And apparently, he's fitting into the workplace pretty well.

CommBank to sponsor Socceroos as well as Matildas
Football Australia has confirmed that CommBank will become the FIFA World Cup-bound Socceroos' new naming rights sponsor as part of the financial institution's growing investment in the sport. Already the main backer of the Matildas, CommBank will take over from Subway as the Socceroos' major sponsor in September. It's part of a new six-year deal, reportedly worth between $10m and $15m each year, that will result in the bank becoming FA's major sponsor at all levels. The FIFA World Cup-bound Socceroos have secured a new naming rights sponsor. Picture:'We are beyond delighted to take this next step in our relationship with CommBank and continue with our joint purpose of creating a game that is accessible to and loved by all Australians,' FA's interim chief executive officer Heather Garriock said. 'CommBank have been incredible partners since 2021. In the four years since, we have together taken the women's and para games from strength to strength, and we cannot wait to extend this success into other programs.' The sponsorship will also result in CommBank's naming rights scope expanding to the Olyroos, the Young Socceroos and the Joeys. CommBank chief executive Matt Comyn, said: 'With the Socceroos facing the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 and the Matildas preparing for the Australia-hosted AFC Women's Asian Cup, there has never been a more exciting time to be a fan of football in Australia.'
