'A school in Tassie has decided to switch its canteen to a fast food joint for one day of the week. While some kids are stoked about it, it\'s also stirred up a big debate about junk food in schools. That fast food joint is subway and they\'ll be heading to twelve schools in Tassie. So why has this decision been made? Well one school in Tasmania\'s canteen was struggling due to a lack of money and staff. The school would rely on volunteers to help out. They say that Subway was a healthier alternative to other fast food organistions and it was offordable. However the Tasmanian School Canteen Association doesn\'t agree They\'re the ones who usually provide canteen meals to schools. They\'re worried other fast food chains may follow suit, possibly encouraging unhealthy food habits in young Aussies. So what exactly is on offer? Subways has taken out some of their less healthy options. For $5.50 students can get the sandwich and drink combination, and opt to add a chocolate chip cookie for an extra 50 cents. ------------------ HARRY AND MEGHAN REVEAL ROYAL BABY NAME The moment the world\'s been waiting for has finally arrived the royal baby has a name. It\'s Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. Archie\'s a Scottish name that\'s really popular right now. Harrison is basically Harry\'s son - cute! While Mountbatten is Archie\'s grandpa\'s last name and Windsor is the royal family\'s last name. So that\'s the name folks. I like it. ------------------ TOTTENHAM MAKE IT TO THEIR FIRST EVER CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL A lot of people in the UK had another reason to celebrate overnight as Tottenham qualified for their first ever Champions League Final! At half time, Spurs were already down 2-nil to Dutch champs Ajax but their Brazilian star Lucas Moura turned it on in the 2nd half scoring a hattrick with the winner coming in dying seconds of the match! Moura\'s goal was the latest ever winner scored in the history of the comp! They\'ll now face Liverpool in the first All English final in more than a decade ------------------ KIDS TAKE ON THE 2019 GIBB CHALLENGE A bunch of brave kids are training for one of Western Australia\'s toughest bike races: the Gibb Challenge. They\'ll be riding alongside heaps of other teams on the 6-hundred-and-60 kay track! Sounds exhausting. Yeah it\'s going to be tough but these guys are pumped for it! They\'ve called themselves the Gibb Groms and they\'re about to become the youngest ever team to compete in the Gibb Challenge. It runs along this part of WA called the Gibb River Road and it\'s super rocky and full of hills. To enter each team has to raise $1,000 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. The RFDS is especially important to the Gibb Groms because half of them have needed their help! One team member has had help after breaking his arm twice, while another suffered burns to big parts of his body and had to be taken to a special burns centre. The event is a relay so someone rides while the others follow in a car. The Challenge will be held in a couple of weeks but by the looks of it this team is ready. ------------------ PUPPY IN PITTBURG IS MIGHTY COMFORTING This probably isn\'t what you expect to see in a police station but we doubt any of these officers are complaining. Zane is Pittsburgh Police\'s first ever comfort dog! He helps to calm people down when they come into the station and we reckon he\'s gonna have a great career! ------------------ SOMETHING TO DANCE ABOUT Here\'s a life-changing moment to give you all the happy feels! This is five year old Ahmed from Afghanistan. He lost his leg when he was only a baby but he\'s just been fitted with a brand new prosthetic leg and he\'s so stoked he just can\'t stop moving! ------------------ CHICKEN NUGGET ICE CREAM? NO THANKS What\'s your favourite ice cream flavour? Probably not chicken nugget. Yep, chicken nugget ice cream is now a real thing in Ireland! They cut up the juicy, salty, chickeny morsels and crush them into the handmade vanilla ice cream. Is this a first? Not sure. Do I feel conflicted about this? Almost definitely. __ For the past 50 years, Behind the News has been helping to break down current issues and events for young people all around the world.
