Earlier this week new laws were introduced into Afghanistan restricting the rights and freedoms of women.

Under the Taliban's vice & virtue laws, women's voices and faces have been banned in public spaces in an effort to avoid temptation or tempting others. 

The rules have sent a shockwave across the world, raising questions of how this can be ethical or legal?

We find out what can be done, if anything, to claw back the rights of women in Afghanistan.

New Laws Silence Afghan Women, Who Will Be Their Voice?

Beachgoers and surfers are on high alert after an unprecedented four shark attacks in just 48 hours.

But what's caused this spike in shark attacks? And what can we come into close contact with one. 

Plus, Brooklyn Beckham has broken years of silence with an Instagram statement, accusing David and Victoria of trying to "ruin" his relationship with Nicola Peltz. 

And in headlines today, New hate speech laws are already facing a possible legal challenge from a prominent neo-Nazi after finally passing parliament; Controversial protest restrictions have been extended for another fortnight with an exemption created to allow Invasion Day rallies to proceed; Prince Harry is due to start giving evidence in a UK court today as he and several other high profile claimants band together in an attempt to prove the Daily Mail used concerning tactics to infiltrate their private lives for stories; Midnight Oil's founding member and drummer Rob Hirst has died at the age of 70 after a near three-year battle with pancreatic cancer; Queer Eye star Karamo Brown has pulled out of planned interviews with his TV show co-stars as they wrap up the show after 10 years

Fourth NSW Shark Attack in 48 Hours as Crocodile Strikes in QLD

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/4001a6fc-795e-4e23-bbcd-b3d60170a0f5/transcript

Parliament has been recalled early to debate hate speech and gun control laws in the wake of the Bondi terrorist attack.

What began as a push for national unity has become a divisive legislative battle, forcing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to split the original package into two separate bills; but will these laws make an impact? And will they even pass at all?

And in headlines today, Experts are warning that recent weather conditions may be contributing to the spike in shark attacks in Sydney; Text messages between the Norwegian Prime Minister and US President Donald Trump have revealed how committed Trump is to taking over Greenland; Indigenous Australians and their allies are hoping they will be able to mark January 26 invasion day as police decide whether the protests can go ahead as planned; Prince Harry has told a court it is "disturbing to feel that my every move, thought or feeling was being tracked" so the publisher of the Daily Mail could "make money out of it"; Valentino Garavani, the jet-set Italian designer whose high-glamour gowns - often in his trademark shade of "Valentino red - have graced red carpets for decades, has passed away
