Public Housing Tower Lockdown: Inside Australia’s Second Wave State

HEADLINES:


More than 160 people have died and hundreds of tourists including dozens of Australians are missing after a glacial collapse triggered the catastrophic flash flood in Nepal and Tibet.
If you've got gas at home, you could be paying more, sooner, because other people are switching to electricity.
Frustrating news for coffee drinkers trying to make greener choices.
Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has died aged 97.


Rupert Grint will reprise the role of Ron Weasley in the Broadway hit Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
And finally, when funding dried up, one Colorado research lab found an unlikely fix..

The Aussie music charts are changing. ARIA’s made a ruling so songs largely or wholly created by AI will be banned. We give you all the info and speak to Jack River and Maggie Collins, the Executive Director of the Association of Artist Managers.

HEADLINES:


A sixteen-year-old girl's death on Sydney's Northern Beaches has reignited calls for wider education on respectful relationships. 
Dozens of Australians are missing after deadly flash flooding in Nepal and Tibet.
The Prime Minister has softened a policy that would've forced new AI data centres to run on renewables rather than coal and gas.
The man accused of masterminding the September 11 terror attacks will finally face trial in mid 2028 - nearly twenty-seven years after the attacks.


New research has found 3pm is the most dangerous and stressful hour on Australian roads.
And finally, turns out humpback whales aren't as disciplined as we thought.

HEADLINES:


A woman accused of killing her husband and dismembering his body has pleaded guilty to manslaughter, on the eve of her trial.
Australians could be in for another rate rise, with new economic figures showing inflation isn’t cooling enough.
The Trump administration has paused visa appointments for applicants worldwide, as part of its wider immigration crackdown.
Meanwhile Donald Trump has floated renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America," as his trade war with Canada escalates.


Tributes are continuing to roll in for songwriting legend and entertainment great Dolly Parton who died at the age of 80, including from Taylor Swift.
Australians are confidently booking overseas trips again, after months of disruption caused by war in the Middle East.
And finally - you won't believe what has been spotted hopping through a Cornish town,

One in six new Australian mums report drinking at risky levels in their baby's first year. Clinical psychologist Dr Katrina Prior noticed the pattern on her own maternity leave, and we also spoke to Victoria Vanstone, host of the Sober Awkward podcast, who lived it herself. This isn't about judgement, it's about understanding why so many mums reach for a drink to cope, and knowing there's support out there if you want it.

Info on the trial is here and you can learn more about this issue on the MAMA podcast. 
You can grab Victoria's book 'A Thousand Wasted Sundays' here. 

If you need to talk to someone, Lifeline is on 13 11 14.
