Vigil Tonight For Alice Springs Lost Little Girl & Can We Talk Our Way Out Of The Manosphere?

If you've noticed the men in your life repeating talking points from Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan, you're likely seeing the real-world impact of the ‘manosphere’. Research suggests these digital echo chambers are doing genuine damage to the lives of boys and men, but how do we combat an algorithm? Today, we are joined by Australia’s first-ever Special Envoy for Men’s Health, Dan Repacholi. The Labor MP and five-time Olympian is heading off on a national listening tour to tackle the crisis in men’s mental health, respect, and the rising tide of online misogyny. We investigate what it actually takes for men to stay well and why the solution has to start with men talking to men. 🗞️ HEADLINES A candlelight vigil will be held in Alice Springs tonight to honour Kumanjayi Little Baby CNN founder Ted Turner has died aged 87 Iran says they are close to signing a deal to end the US/Israel war Three more people have been evacuated from the cruise ship amid a hantavirus outbreak Terry Irwin says daughter Bindi didn't attend the Steve Irwin Gala due to her health 📩 GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?

Everything Met Gala: The Boycott, The Guest List & How 'Fashion Is Art' Will Look On The Red Carpet

It is fashion’s biggest night of the year, but the Met Gala is much more than just a parade of celebrities on a red carpet. As we prepare for the 2026 event, we explore why this exclusive party is actually a vital fundraiser that bankrolls fashion as an art form. We dive into this year’s conceptual theme, and the dress code that's expected to ditch 'pretty dresses' for sculptural, gallery-level installations. Plus, we look at the power players making headlines this year; with Beyoncé returning to co-chair for the first time in a decade, and Jeff Bezos’ controversial sponsorship causing a stir, the guest list is as much about cultural tension as it is about couture. 🗞️ HEADLINES Friends urge Harry Styles to get a prenup Hearings delving into anti-semitism in Australia begin today Trump says he's unlikely to accept a new Iranian peace deal because "The Iranians had not yet paid a big enough price" Aussie Sam Kerr is now Chelsea's all time leading goal scorer after slotting her 64th The Academy has brought in new rules that blocks AI from ever winning an Oscar 📩 GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?
