Why was an Australian teenager accused of researching bombs and derailing trains granted bail?
A teenager who allegedly researched how to make bombs and methods to derail trains has been granted bail. The teen was charged in March for collecting manuals, guides and material promoting ISIS-inspired terrorism and also importing an ISIS flag.
What evidence did counterterrorism detectives find linking the teen to ISIS materials?
An investigation was launched after intelligence indicated the flag, destined for an inner-city Melbourne address, was imported into Australia. Counterterrorism detectives raided the address and seized a USB mobile phone and laptop. On the USB, detectives allegedly found a photo of a bomb in a backpack and instructional materials for the preparation of explosives, which set out ingredients required and steps to assemble devices. The judge considered a psychologist's report that the now 18-year-old is likely to have undiagnosed autism and a letter the teen wrote where he acknowledged his mistakes and accepted responsibility in granting bail.
The men's World Cup final is set, with Argentina set to face Spain after defeating England 2-1 early this morning.
How did Argentina reach the men's World Cup final and why was a political banner controversial?
Argentina are now chasing back-to-back World Cup titles, while Spain could become the first country to hold both the men's and women's World Cup titles at the same time. Argentina's celebrations were overshadowed by a political banner referencing the Falklands War. After the match, two players held up a banner on the pitch reading Las Malvinas son Argentinas, the Falklands are Argentine, which may have breached FIFA's ban on political messaging. The South Atlantic islands are controlled by Britain but claimed by Argentina. Argentina invaded them in 1982 before British forces regained control following a short war. Residents of the Falklands overwhelmingly voted to remain a UK territory in a 2013 referendum.
The CSIRO has discovered another case of the H5 strain of bird flu here in New South Wales. It brings the total number of cases in Australia to 15. According to the Department of Agriculture, all of the cases have been detected in wild seabirds on the coast.
What does the discovery of a 15th H5 bird flu case in NSW mean for Australia?
There have been no detected cases at poultry farms. The CSIRO found the latest case in a petrel found at Hawks Nest on the New South Wales Mid-North Coast. While the virus can be deadly for animals, the risk to humans is generally considered low, both in terms of transmission and health impact.
And today's good news.
Why is the return of Rapa Nui ancestral remains by the Australian Museum significant?
The Australian Museum is returning ancestral remains of the Rapa Nui people to their island, Temauhatu o Rapa Nui, or Easter Island. The remains were taken from the island as part of a German Navy expedition in the early 1880s and bought by the museum shortly after. Rapa Nui artist and advocate Vaitiare Pakarati expressed gratitude to the museum for, quote, hearing us, for treating our tupuna, or ancestors, with respect and for walking this path with us. She added that the return is not the ending, but it is a healing.
That is the latest from the Daily Oz newsroom. If you're looking for something else, you can catch up on this morning's Deep Dive, where we unpack the cases of the three men and one teenage boy charged with the alleged murders of women and girls across the country this week.
We'll be back tomorrow with another Deep Dive where we let Sam off the leash to talk about the World Cup. Until then, have a good one.
Researchers at Garvin Institute are partnering with Claude to do what wasn't possible before, analysing genomic data at a massive scale to understand how our genes cause rare diseases and building AI agents that work around the clock to give answers to families who've been waiting for years. When science and AI come together, the future of human health gets a little brighter.
