It's Friday the 17th of April.

Here's what's making headlines this evening.

Former SAS soldier and accused war criminal Ben Robert Smith has been granted bail 10 days after his arrest at Sydney Airport.

Robert Smith is accused of killing and ordering the killing of unarmed civilians during his 2009 to 2012 deployment to Afghanistan.

The Victoria Cross recipient has been charged with two counts of the war crime of murder and three counts of aiding or abetting the same charge.

It's the second time a current or former ADF member has been arrested for war crimes over alleged actions in Afghanistan.

After more than a week behind bars, Robert Smith made his successful application for bail at Sydney's Downing Centre local court on Friday.

And today's good news.

Kids and families can now stream Auslan interpreted episodes of the iconic Aussie kids show Bluey.

Auslan is short for Australian Sign Language.

The move follows a recent Change.org petition which called for Bluey episodes to be more accessible to deaf and hard of hearing children.

The popular series joined several other preschool programs in rolling out Auslan accessible episodes on ABC iView this week, coinciding with Auslan Day on the 13th of April.

ABC TV executive Jennifer Collins said the broadcaster was quote, "...delighted to create a more accessible, inclusive and connected experience for all young Australians."

We'll be back next week with another Deep Dive.

Until then, have a great weekend.
