The Bondi Beach massacre has propelled the Australian Government to overhaul its already-tough gun laws. Sixteen people died and dozens were injured when two shooters opened fire on a Jewish gathering on Sunday night in what's been labelled a terror attack. Now 26 victims remain in hospital, with six fighting for life. A 24-year-old suspect is also in hospital under police watch while his 50-year-old father, who's also believed responsible, died at the scene. The older man had been a licensed firearms holder for about a decade and owned six registered firearms. 9News Australia correspondent Charles Croucher told Heather du Plessis-Allan the federal government now wants to cut down the number of guns a person can own and conduct more regular checks on those with licences. He says it also wants to restrict gun ownership to Australian citizens only. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tourists entering the United States could soon have to provide a five-year social media history. The proposed new requirement would affect those who are currently able to visit visa-free, including from New Zealand and the UK. It'll see officials requesting social media information, email addresses from the last decade, phone numbers, and information about family members. Australian correspondent Murray Olds says many Australians travel to the US every year, and this change will likely slow down tourism further.

Synopsis: Meet the fearless reporters who dare to shine a light on dark corners of American politics, tracking extremist groups and debunking disinformation with courage and conviction.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description: Today's guests have paid a price for their reporting on far Right extremists. But if journalists don't do this critical work, then who will? The Trump administration is deprioritizing domestic terrorism to serve a political agenda, scaling back investigations of far-Right extremism while redirecting DHS agents to immigration crackdowns. As programs tracking domestic extremism are dismantled and January 6 rioters are recast as "patriots," journalists find themselves on the frontlines — and their attackers are now people in power. Jordan Green is an investigative reporter for Raw Story whose coverage on far-Right extremism has spanned from Charlottesville to January 6. He is currently working on a book about militant accelerationism. Green also reported on a story we've covered extensively on the show: the attack on two power stations in Moore County, North Carolina. A correspondent for the Texas Observer, investigative journalist Steven Monacelli has been tracking extremism, disinformation, social movements, and the influence of dark money in politics. He received the The Al Neuharth Innovation in Investigative Journalism Award for revealing the identities of far-Right extremists, including government employees. Freelance journalist Amanda Moore embedded with the far Right in 2020 and has faced backlash from far-Right groups for her reporting. Her reporting at present focuses on ICE and Border Control, and her work has appeared in the Nation, Politico, and the Intercept.

This episode of Momentum, hosted by Race Forward's Chief of Staff Karla Bruce, examines the enduring policy failures and systemic harms of over-policing—connecting the legacy of former Chicago police commander Jon Burge's “Midnight Crew” to the current federal deployment of National Guard forces across U.S. cities.Guest Omar Jimenez, Emmy Award–winning CNN anchor and news correspondent, discusses findings from his investigative podcast Tortured Justice which exposes decades of police violence and coerced confessions in Chicago. Through stories like that of James Gibson—wrongfully imprisoned for decades—Omar and Karla explore how unchecked police authority, prosecutorial discretion, and political protection enabled abuse, and what structural reforms are needed to prevent it from recurring.Tortured Justice (CNN Presents) https://www.cnn.com/audio/podcasts/cnn-presents‘Tortured Justice': Uncovering a story of decades-old police violence (CNN)https://bit.ly/4oLdU7JChicago Innocence Projecthttps://www.chicagoinnocenceproject.org/Executive Producers: Hendel Leiva, Cheryl Blakemore, Freddie Beckley

Anna Foster and some of the BBC's best-known foreign correspondents are joined by an audience of Radio 4 listeners to celebrate 70 years of ‘From Our Own Correspondent'. Since the first episode was broadcast on 25th September 1955, FOOC – as it's affectionately known – has reported from almost every country in the world. Anna's guests for the event, recorded in the Radio Theatre in Broadcasting House in London, are Kate Adie, the presenter of FOOC and a former BBC Chief News Correspondent, Jeremy Bowen, the BBC's International Editor, Lyse Doucet, the BBC's Chief International Correspondent, and Steve Rosenberg, the BBC's Russia Editor. They discuss what the job of a foreign correspondent is these days when anyone can get on a plane, take a mobile phone and broadcast to the world. They reflect on how to report on a more hostile world. Together, they offer insights into the world of the foreign correspondent - including the time Jeremy Bowen once told the Mujahideen in Afghanistan that he was Lyse Doucet - and Steve Rosenberg takes to the piano to explain why his hopes for Russia rest with a newspaper vendor in Moscow.

Over the last week four men have been arrested in Sydney for allegations of involvement in a Sydney-based international paedophile network. The network is said to distribute and facilitate child sex abuse material through a website administered internationally. This was uncovered in an investigation into the online distribution of child sexual abuse material involving ritualistic and Satanic themes. Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson told Heather du Plessis-Allan the men arrested were allegedly part of a media network aiming to expose sex abuse rings. "So it gives the idea obviously that they're there to help, that they're there to uncover these sorts of rings, but the people involved are allegedly also paedophiles themselves," Peterson said.
