Should We Be Worried About The Doomsday Clock? & Is This Bridgerton's Steamiest Season Yet?

What is actually happening in Minneapolis?

Two citizens have been killed at the hands of ICE agents as they attempted to warn immigrant communities that officers are in the neighbourhood or to protect fellow protestors.

People are angry, confused and concerned that law enforcement are out to get them. Today we speak to Minneapolis local and journalist Susan Jones to find out exactly how people are feeling.

And in headlines today, The chief federal judge in Minnesota says the Trump administration has failed to comply with orders to hold hearings for detained immigrants and ordered the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to appear to explain why he shouldn't be held in contempt; Heatwave conditions are set to continue across inland regions of south-east Australia, as coastal cities enjoy a brief reprieve; Homes have been destroyed and fresh orders to evacuate have been issued for dozens of small towns near a large bushfire burning in Victoria; For the first time in two-and-a-half years the UN’s children’s agency has been able to deliver school kits with learning materials into ‍Gaza; Singer Deni Hines has quit the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here jungle, saying it was because she couldn’t go to the toilet
