As social media advances, some parenting influencers have pulled back on posting their kids for fear of their digital footprint and other safety concerns.

The founder of Happy Mum Happy Child, Maria Foy, revealed she's pivoted from her 'mumfluencer' brand and stopped posting her kids as they've gotten older and voiced concern about the consequences.

Foy says kids deserve their privacy - and she doesn't feel comfortable sharing their intimate moments as teenagers. 

"Now they're coming up to a point where I don't feel comfortable talking about certain things - even though as a parent, you yearn for that connection...but they deserve that privacy."

45 pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong have been sentenced to four to 10 years in prison.

They were prosecuted under its 2020 national security law for their roles in an unofficial primary election, which prosecutors said their aim was to paralyse the city’s government and force its leader to resign by aiming to win a legislative majority and using it to block government budget.

Meanwhile, Chinese Premier Xi Jinping has been travelling South America talking up free trade and globalisation in the region.

Asia business correspondent Peter Lewis joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.

Questions whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would be arrested if he left the country. 

The International Criminal Court's been served with an arrest warrant for alleged war crimes. 

124 countries are obligated to carry out warrants. 

Auckland University Associate Law Professor Treasa Dunworth told Heather du Plessis-Allan countries like the UK and France have been cagey about whether they'd follow through.

“When it was specifically asked what would they do if Netanyahu was in their country, they fudged the answer, so we just don’t know.”
