Louis Armstrong is the best-known trumpet player and jazz musician of his time. His career spanned five decades, and he was inducted into the "Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame" in 2017. After his death in 1971, the house he lived in was left empty....until now. It's been turned into a museum where fans can explore how the jazz legend lived and even hear recordings never heard before.

More than 70 religious leaders have come together to sign a letter to urge Mark Zuckerberg and Meta to halt plans for Instagram for Kids. The signers claim that this new platform, currently on pause, could cause spiritual harm to young people. Lucy Kidwell, the screen-free week coordinator for the nonprofit that organized the letter, Fairplay, joined Cheddar News to discuss the issue on Safer Internet Day. "It's not necessarily the content, even, that's on these platforms, but more the structure of the app itself," she said.
