And in other international news, the US Army has launched further strikes in Iran.
Yesterday and today, the US Army launched missiles attacking Iranian military targets, including launch sites, mine-laying boats and drones.
The US has said it is acting in self-defence and that it is still in talks to negotiate a peace deal between the two countries.
And Germany's most wanted woman has been found guilty of aggravated robbery and extortion.
67-year-old Daniela Klett committed the armed robberies between 1999 and 2016, with prosecutors arguing she was stealing money in order to support the activities of an anti-capitalist group called the Red Army.
She's now been sentenced to 13 years in jail.
Klet was arrested in 2024 after almost 30 years on the run.
German police reportedly found her when she was living a normal life in a Berlin neighbourhood under a fake name.
She was part of a Brazilian martial arts group and apparently photos posted by that group led to authorities tracking her down and her eventual arrest.
Now it's time to get into our deep dive on the new research about teen sexual health.
In one of the largest studies of its kind in Australia, researchers have uncovered concerning trends about unwanted sex, STIs and a sharp decrease in the use of condoms.
Experts say more than ever we need better education programs that target teens, promoting honest and factual conversations about sex and consent.
Joining us is lead researcher
Professor Jennifer Power.
Jennifer, thanks so much for joining us.
This was one of the largest studies of teen sexual health in Australian history.
Who did you survey over what period and what were the key takeaways?
Jennifer, some of the stats that came away from this research, you found that 37% of those teenagers surveyed felt scared of a partner and 18% had experienced some form of physical violence.
Have you seen an increase in those statistics over that survey period?
So, Jennifer, do you think we're better educated today on what is intimate partner violence and we may not have been educated in previous years, especially 30 years ago, about what was acceptable and not acceptable?
