Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers, speaking after the release of the numbers, putting a positive spin on the figures.

A major legal setback for Luke Sayers, the former president of AFL club Carlton.

Luke, who was also the former chief of PWC Australia, has lost his bid to have a penis pic defamation case launched by his estranged wife to be heard in private.

Today's ruling is a win for Kate Sayers, who sought to have the case heard in a public trial as she tries to clear her name.

Supreme Court Judge Andrew Watson agreed with Kate, saying it was not in the interests of justice to transfer the proceeding to a private hearing, but he did dismiss her request for a jury trial.

Kate is suing her ex-husband for defamation over allegations she was responsible for posting a picture of Luke's penis on his account on social media platform X in January last year.

Luke alleges his account had been hacked.

Britain has been rocked by violent protests over the police response to a young white man who had been fatally stabbed.

Henry Novak was 18 when he was fatally stabbed in December last year.

The protests have erupted after the release of police body cam footage which showed the attacker, a Sikh man, falsely claiming that he had been racially abused by Henry.

In a statement outside court, Henry's father described that police footage.

The protests had been promoted by a far-right UK activist, but Henry's father says that the family did not want Henry's death to be politicised.

Now it seems like the US and Iran are back into active fighting.

According to the US military, Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles and drones on Kuwait and Bahrain.

Those missiles were shot down before they could cause damage, according to the US military.

The US has also attacked Iran, US Central Command, saying that they struck a military ground control station in Iran in self-defence.

And bear attacks in Japan are on the rise.

Last year was a record-breaking year for bear attacks in the country, with 230 incidents reported and 13 people killed.

And just yesterday, four people were attacked by a bear in the Fukushima province.

All four are now recovering in hospital.
