At least 32 people, including two children, were killed and thousands more injured, many seriously, after communication devices, some used by the armed group Hezbollah, dramatically exploded across Lebanon on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The explosions deepened unease in Lebanese society, coming a day after the apparently similar and highly sophisticated attack targeting thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah members.

The militant group blamed its adversary, Israel, however Israeli officials have so far declined to comment.

Luke Grant chats with Director of Strategic Analysis Australia, Peter Jennings, to ascertain whether attacks like these become the new normal in conflicts, as Cyber Warfare tactics become increasingly sophisticated

Australian rock lobster fishermen are growing increasingly frustrated and uncertain about lingering Chinese government trade restrictions, months after the federal government declared they were “very confident” the restrictions were on the brink of ending. 

In late 2020, China's customs agency blocked live rock lobsters from Australia – citing excessive levels of a heavy metal — as part of a wide-ranging campaign of trade coercion against the Morrison government.

The move crippled the crayfish industry, with Chinese exports accounting for 90% of its revenue. 

Beijing has since lifted the vast majority of those trade barriers, including hefty tariffs on barley and Australian wine, as Jim Chalmers is scheduled to become the first Australian treasurer to visit China in seven years.

Bill Woods chats with China Trade Expert, Andrew Phelan, formerly of DFAT to find out why the industry is so reliant on Chinese exports and why we aren’t able to replicate the revenue domestically?

Kenyan athlete Brimin Misoi and Ethiopian star Workenesh Gurmesa ran the fastest ever marathons in Australia in the Sydney Marathon this morning.

A record field of 25,000 runners hit the streets from 6am, and after starting at North Sydney Oval, crossed Sydney Harbour Bridge and then wound through the city and eastern suburbs before finishing at the Opera House.

The Sydney marathon is entering its final year as a candidate to join the six biggest marathons - New York, Tokyo, Boston, Berlin, London and Chicago - and providing it meets the assessment criteria again on Sunday, a green light is expected in weeks.

Bill Woods chats with Sydney Marathon Race Director, Wayne Larden about all of the record breaking action.

Clover Moore has won an historic 6th term as Sydney Mayor, and The Greens have performed worse than expected in a number of inner city seats, in a unique set of Local Government elections yesterday. 

Eight councils didn’t field a single Liberal Party Candidate, due to an administrative failure by the party’s state executive to nominate candidates by the NSW Electoral Commission’s deadline last month. 

Four councils and wards which didn’t even have enough nominations to hold elections, so those who did nominate were elected unopposed.

Bill Woods chats with Sydney Morning Herald Urban Affairs Reporter, Anthony Segeart to find out everything you need to know about one of the most bizarre local government elections in recent history.
