Top videos: Robot tools up, diver gets seal’s approval, and emotional speeches in a big week
Between the Australian Open, a shock resignation and Brendan Fraser getting everything he deserves, our top videos reveal what has happened this week.
While Jacinda Ardern announced her exit from politics, the UK’s Prime Minister found himself in trouble when he neglected to do the most basic thing when in a car.
Nick Kyrgios is out of the Australian Open, but clearly he was still in the minds of some reporters, which led to a hilariously awkward encounter with his best friend, Thanasi Kokkinakis.
Speaking of Kokkinakis, he was knocked out of the Australian Open by Andy Murray, who celebrated in a spectacular way.

Jacinda Ardern’s tearful announcement
On Thursday, New Zealand’s Prime Minister shocked the world and announced she would resign before the 2023 election.
“I hope in return, I leave behind a belief that you can be kind, but strong, empathetic but decisive, optimistic but focused,” Ms Ardern said.
“That you can be your own kind of leader – one that knows when it’s time to go.”

Brendan Fraser’s speech
After winning Best Actor at the Critics’ Choice Awards this week for his performance in The Whale, Brendan Fraser gave an emotional speech.
“If you, like a guy like Charlie, who I played in this movie, in any way, struggle with obesity, or you just feel like you’re in a dark sea.
“I want you to know that if you can have the strength to just get to your feet and go to the light, good things will happen.”
