'Exercise snacks' are being touted as the newest way to work fitness into a busy life and they're found to contain plenty of physical and mental benefits.

The Block Australia has celebrated a significant milestone.

The popular home renovation competition show has begun its 20th season, and fans from both sides of the Tasman have tuned in to keep it going.

Host and former tradie Scott Cam says he's been with the network for 25 years - and he never expected the show to last as long as it has.

"I've done about 10 different shows, this one is the last show I've done, which I thought we'd get a couple years out of - and we've ended up going for years."

Jess van Slooten is among the hundreds of Kiwis whose life was saved by receiving an organ transplant.

At 22, she was diagnosed with a serious lung condition - which required a lung transplant.

She says receiving the transplant has allowed her to continue to live a normal life and enjoy her favourite outdoor activities again. 

"I've been skiing, I've been climbing mountains - lots of adventurous things that I just never would have been able to believe I could have done."

It's been five years since a devastating fire gutted Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral - but the wait is almost over.

The 12th-century cathedral, one of the French capital's most beloved and visited monuments, will reopen its doors next week to tourists and to the Catholic faithful.

European correspondent Catherine Field says no one expected the restoration to move so quickly or be completed under budget - but it's been done.

"It's going to have people coming to France just to look at it. France really does invest in its heritage, in its buildings - anyone who was here during the Olympics or saw it on TV saw that they'd cleaned the city up and that sort of heritage is what brings people to Paris."
