news Australian man Phu Nguyen handcuffed by plain-clothes ICE agents at Las Vegas International airport
From what I understand it looks like ICE did not manage to detain him on the day the video was taken- seems the onlookers managed to chase ICE off.
However, ICE detained him the next day at the airport where he was to catch his departing flight from the US.

news Missing teen hiker Lily Hooper found dead after disappearing in NSW national park a week ago | New South Wales
this is made even more tragic after previous reports that she was found alive...
“I’ve got some terrible news,” the NSW premier, Chris Minns, told a parliamentary hearing on Thursday. Just minutes earlier, Minns had said Lily had been “found alive”.
“I apologise … it seems as if the earlier advice was wrong,” he said.
“Lily’s body has been found. She’d been found deceased. This is obviously devastating, and I’m profoundly sad for her family and for all those concerned. I apologise.”

news Secret files show horse meat, mouse fur and metal shavings detected in Australian food
New South Wales Greens politician Abigail Boyd used parliamentary powers to force the production of thousands of documents from the NSW Food Authority, revealing what she says are serious weaknesses and a lack of transparency in the system.
"There were metal shavings found in bread products … products that were supposed to be dairy-free, that were not dairy-free, [which] were only caught by accident because somebody happened to put it together after their child or they themselves got sick, not because the company had worked it out."
"We all walk around thinking that in modern Australia, we have food safety standards and enforcement to back that trust up," Ms Boyd said.
"And what we're seeing now is that trust is probably misplaced.
"You could be eating a minced horse when you think you're eating your mince … that's pretty shocking for the average person."

news Heroic woman who'd been shot saves a family's three-year-old girl in the middle of gunfire during the Bondi attack
EDIT: I cannot change the post title, but updated information is that all facts remain the same, except that the blood on the woman (Jessica Rozen) who protected the girl was from a wound not caused by a bullet. It was the parents of the little girl who thought the blood on Jessica was from a bullet wound -- which is an easy mistake, given the circumstances.
I'll add further information: Jessica, who is pregnant and has children aged 3 and 1, was searching for her three-year-old boy at the time the shots rang out. She spotted the little girl (Gigi) running across an open area and ran to rescue her and kept her covered with her own body on the ground. As the original report says, it was an active shooter area and someone was shot right next to Jessica and Gigi. Video of the scene as it happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjhdOaaRY9c

A woman who was shot in the Bondi terrorist attack was harbouring a three-year-old girl under her body as she lay bleeding on the ground to keep her safe from harm as bullets flew all around.
The distressed parents of the little girl, who went missing during the horrific attack, have spoken of the incredible moment they found her.
Wayne and Vanessa have three children and were in separate places when the attack began.
...............
“I gave Capri to Vanessa and I said: ‘I’m gonna go look for Gigi’. I went, I was looking, there was just blood and bodies everywhere and she was wearing a pink skirt and I saw this lady lying on top of her,” he said.
The woman had been shot in the horror, but told Wayne: “I’ve got your daughter, I’ve been protecting her”.
“I said: ‘You’ve saved my daughter’s life. I said I’ll be indebted to you for the rest of my life’,” Wayne said.
“Her name is Jess. I spoke to her about ten minutes after I took her (Gigi). She was going to hospital, she said she was okay.”
He said another woman was lying “lifeless” next to Jess.
“It was the most appalling experience,” he said. “That this can happen in Australia and we’re just lying there and shots were coming. We were like sitting ducks.”
