    The Secret Group Chats Where Men Plot To Drug & Rape Their Wives

    It starts with a message in a group chat: a man asking for advice on exactly how much sedative to slip into his wife’s tea tonight so he can sexually assault her while she's unconscious. Following the horrific 2024 trial of Dominique Pelicot in France, a new investigation has revealed that this wasn't an isolated case, but a thriving global ecosystem. From 'sleep' content on major porn sites to private forums where men livestream their drugged partners for a fee, the scale of this internet-enabled abuse is staggering. We’re joined by CNN Paris Bureau Chief Saskya Vandoorne, who infiltrated these secret 'brotherhoods' to expose how these men operate under the cover of anonymity and why platforms are still failing to stop them.

    Australia's ADHD Hotspots: Is Your Postcode Dictating Your Diagnosis?

    If your social media feed has convinced you that everyone has ADHD, new data is offering a reality check. Freshly released figures expose a hidden story: your diagnosis might depend more on your postcode, your paycheque, and whether there’s a doctor nearby rather than your actual symptoms.  Today, we’re joined by Dr Norman Swan to unpack the national prescription records, which state is such a massive outlier, and what it really costs to get an assessment in Australia’s mental healthcare system. 🗞️ HEADLINES Iran is considering attending peace talks with the US in Pakistan, a senior Iranian official says. Federal officials will make the case for major changes to the $50 billion NDIS at a meeting with their state counterparts, with the reforms expected to form the centrepiece of Treasurer Jim Chalmers' budget savings Woolworths will face court this week over allegations it misled consumers with "illusory" discounts that disguised rising prices Prosecutors say US singer D4VD has been charged with murder over the death of a teenage girl, whose dismembered body was found in his apparently abandoned Tesla Kenyans Sharon Lokedi and John Korir have won the Boston Marathon  📩 GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?
