Breast Cancer Awareness Month is here, but many eligible women are still skipping their breast screens, whether that be they're putting off their own health checks or they're kinda...scared. 

So today, we take you inside a screening appointment to demystify the process and share expert tips on how to perform essential self-exams at home.

And in headlines today, President Vladimir Putin says Russia will never bow to pressure from the United States or any foreign power; King Charles and Pope Leo have prayed together in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel; Rebel Wilson is set to appear in court over allegations she defamed emerging actor Charlotte MacInnes, her co-star in The Deb; Matildas star Hayley Raso to reach emotional 100 games for Australia.
