HEADLINES:

• Australians left reeling following a horror weekend with the deaths of a child and three women in alleged attacks across NSW

• President Trump has banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House press conferences and briefings
• Ed Sheeran said he's made "mistakes" and called the situation in Gaza "unjustifiable" as he opens his first US concert since the Macklemore saga erupted
