A 4.9 magnitude earthquake has been reported near Adelaide.
Geoscience Australia says the quake hit just before 8 o'clock this morning in waters off South Australia's capital city, with the epicentre believed to be south of Victor Harbor.
Local media outlets say residents have reported feeling the quake across large areas including in the Adelaide Hills, Fleurieu Peninsula and Murraylands regions.
The first nuclear submarine that will deploy to Australia under the AUKUS agreement has been revealed, five years after the 386 billion dollar defence pact was signed.
The 10-year-old Virginia class submarine known as the USS Colorado will make its new home at Western Australia's HMAS Stirling from late 2027.
But its arrival in Australia is likely to be controversial, after Independent Senator Jacqui Lambie expressed outrage during an estimates hearing that there would be a change to the original AUKUS plans.
She said the government had failed to negotiate a warranty for the used vessels they would be purchasing.
"Not only have they ripped us off and taken new ships and given us second-hand ones in replacement, you're telling me they don't even come with a warranty. Oh this is really making my evening."
Australians are being warned to prepare for more disruptions to services, as a result of a rise in AI-powered cyber-attacks.
The Australian Signals Directorate's annual cyber threat report says there has been a 20 per cent increase in cyber security incidents in the last financial year - 1,500 incidents in 2025-26 year, with medium-sized businesses the hardest hit.
ASD director-general, Abigail Bradshaw, says outdated hardware and software remains one of Australia's biggest security weaknesses, particularly as cybercriminals use AI to scale up their attacks.
Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles is urging businesses to prepare by updating their tools.
“If you've got an old system which is connected to the internet, it is a gateway for a malicious actor. And secondly, it is really important that people are taking the time to harden their systems. And if that means you've got to bring the system down for a couple of days - then do it. And make sure you've got those processes and hardening in place. And thirdly, it is really important that organisations are using AI themselves. It is a very important tool in terms of defending yourself in this current environment."
Israel's Prime Minister has boasted of an endorsement from US president Donald Trump ahead of polls opening for the country's first election since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks in 2023.
And with Netanyahu already at the helm of the most right-wing government in Israeli history, polling suggests politics have shifted even further to the right with nearly all Jewish-led parties now opposing the two-state solution that has underpinned decades of peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
Jerusalem resident Benny says he will probably still support Netanyahu.
"For the unification of the country, I will say that I would support the others, not Netanyahu. But for the safety of the country, I think Netanyahu is the best manager of the situation."
But other voters like Evan from Jerusalem say that while Netanyahu has talked a lot about national security, he has actually achieved very little.
"Someone who put himself as 'Mr Security'. The stalemate that we have with Iran, we haven't accomplished our goals. Politically, we're in a worse situation than we are before. And again, with Hezbollah, despite the military's successes we're still stuck there again. And so all this is a stalemate. He hasn't been able to prove himself; he hasn't been able to move forward."
To sport, Harry Kane has become the first Englishman in 25 years to claim football’s biggest individual prize, the Ballon D'or.
The Bayern Munich and England striker has won the prestigious award after a record-breaking season that cemented his status as one of the game's greatest goal scorers, netting 61 goals in 51 games.
Kane scored six goals at the recent World Cup and led England to the semi-finals, combining his clinical finishing with the leadership and composure that has defined his international career.
His teammates have sung his praises to ESPN.
"He's such an amazing role model. Such an amazing guy. And I am honoured to share the pitch with him."
"Think he's the heart and soul of English football and he has been for a while. I think it's a testament to him that he still keeps going; he still puts in the hard work, the hard miles, to still be at his best."
