    Scarlett Johansson reckons her voice has been ripped off for a new AI chatbot from ChatGPT and she's not happy.

    Plus, the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants against Israeli and Hamas leaders, alleging they've committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. As a member of the court, Australia's involvement has been questioned by the opposition for "tarnishing" our international reputation.
