Police in the nation's capital say a significant presence will be on hand in anticipation of further protests during a visit to Australia by Israel's president Izaac Herzog.

Nine people have been charged over violent clashes with police in Sydney's CBD as debate rages in the aftermath about whether officers crossed the line while trying to control the crowd.

Protesters say the Israeli leader isn't welcome due to the country's conduct in Gaza and the West Bank but the federal government invited him to comfort Jewish people in the aftermath of the Bondi attack.

Opposition leader Sussan Ley's facing a fresh crisis only days after reuniting the Coalition after its messy split.

And Australia's Winter Olympic boss Alisa Camplin says snowboarder Cam Bolton is receiving the best possible medical care after sustaining two stable neck fractures in training.

But in good news, Australian flag bearers Jakara  Anthony and Matt Graham have progressed to the finals of the women's and men's mogul skiing on day four in Italy.

One Nation questions if man-made climate change is real, wants to wind back access to abortion care and plans to pay the HECS debts of doctors working in the regions.

Israel's president Isaac Herzog will travel to Canberra today, as Sydney continues to reckon with the aftermath of Monday's protests against his visit.

Protesters last night staged another rally, this time outside a Sydney police centre, angry over what they say was a disproportionate response from officers at the town hall the night before, which descended into violent clashes.

Police in the ACT say they have increased resources ahead of the Israeli President's visit to Canberra.

The federal government invited Isaac Herzog to Australia to support Jewish people following the Bondi attack, but demonstrators say he's not welcome given the Israeli Government's conduct in Gaza and the West Bank.

Just days after reuniting the Coalition, Opposition leader Sussan Ley appears on course for another crisis.

A wave of frontbenchers are planning to resign, paving the way for a leadership challenge by Liberal MP Angus Taylor.

A dire slump in the polls, to the point where the Coalition have been comfortably overtaken by the far right party One Nation, has led to fear among MPs they'll lose their seats at the next election.

Uber has quietly agreed to an external review of its operations after settling a disability discrimination case in federal court.

A Victorian woman sued the ride-share giant last year, alleging drivers refused to transport her guide dog on more than 30 occasions.

The review will examine Uber drivers refusals to take people with a disability.

A renewed search for the remains of Belgian tourist Celine Cremer in Tasmania's wilderness has led to identification of bones, teeth and car keys.

Police say they've verified that the set of Honda branded keys belonged to her.

The 31-year-old tourist was backpacking in Tasmania in June 2023 when she went missing, but recently a renewed search from volunteers and her friends found her mobile phone among other items.

And in the Winter Olympics, Australian flag bearers Jakara  Anthony and Matt Graham have progressed to the finals of the women's and men's mogul skiing on day four in Italy.

Anthony is looking to match her gold medal at the 2022 games.

Australia's Winter Olympic team has been hit by two withdrawals, with snowboarders Cam Bolton and Misaki Vaughan both sustaining campaign ending injuries.

Bolton suffered a serious fall at training and was airlifted out with neck fractures.
