TRUMP AND ELON DRAMA
Elon Musk and Donald Trump have exploded back into headlines today. That's right, the political bromance of tech billionaire Elon Musk, and US President Donald Trump is over. But what on earth happened? Well, from Mr Trump's first day in office, Elon Musk had been a major player. But recently, the pair started butting heads over some policies, particularly this spending bill called the One Big Beautiful Act, and last week, Musk left his role at the White House. But things really escalated overnight after the President said this. Mr Musk started firing back on his social media platform, X. And then the President hopped on his social media platform and well, the fight of the century began. It's been a war of words that honestly you'd expect from more of a roast battle. And while plenty of people have the popcorn out, lots are also worried about what it'll mean for American politics, if this feud continues to escalate.
SOCCEROOS
The Socceroos are on the brink of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a nail biting one-nil win last night. Japan dominated play for most of the match, until the very final minute when Aziz Behich scored this winning goal. It was his first Socceroos goal in 13 years and Australia's first win over Japan in 16 years. And as long as they avoid a heavy defeat in next week's game against Saudi Arabia, they're all but certain to qualify.
PARA SPORT
Now over to Darwin, where students living with disabilities are taking part in a program that's all about trying new sports and getting active. From golf, to wheelchair rugby, these kids in Darwin are discovering their new favourite sports. It's all part of a national program designed to encourage people living with disabilities to explore different sports, and this year more than 250 students took part. And Sam says events like this aren't just about getting active, they're about giving it a go, making friends and having a lot of fun at the same time.
ROBOTS MOVING HOUSES
First up, to a block of buildings on the move in China! 400 robotic feet lifted and moved them in sync. They're actually being moved back to their original location after making way for underground construction works. The robots moved the buildings, weighing 7-and-a-half thousand tonnes, at a rate of about 10 meters per day.
SWITCH STAPLES
Now to people around the world who have lined up for hours just to buy the new Nintendo Switch 2. But for some customers in the US, excitement quickly turned to disappointment, as reports of punctured screens appeared on social media. Turns out, because Nintendo packaged the Switch with its screen facing outwards, when game shop employees used staplers to staple receipts to the front of boxes. A whole bunch of console screens were left damaged. One shop has already offered to replace them, adding staplers have been confiscated.
STANLEY PUP
And finally, if you've ever wanted to watch dogs play hockey, this is the closest you're gonna get. The world's first Stanley Pup, a play off the famous Stanley Cup hockey championship, features rescue dogs who are all up for adoption. It's a collaboration between America's national hockey league and an animal welfare charity.

‘Quickly crawled': Wild amount Annie Knight makes per month
Annie Knight has revealed her staggering monthly income after sleeping with over 500 men in a single day. The 27-year-old X-rated content creator told that she's currently bringing in $300,000 monthly, equating to over $3.5 million yearly. However earning this much money is still relatively new to her, and she certainly never imagined making this much. 'When I first started OnlyFans I was making $5000 per month. Then when I got fired for doing OnlyFans, I decided to do it full-time, and I was making $30,000 per month,' she said. Ms Knight, who'd previously worked in marketing, has enjoyed watching her income grow and grow. 'It was May 2023 where I started to make over $100,000 per month and that quickly crawled up to $200,000 per month where I have comfortably sat for the past two years,' she said. Ms Knight said that sharing her plan to have sex with over 500 men in a single day kicked things up another notch financially. Even though the sex stunt ended in her being hospitalised in the days after due to unexpected bleeding that was found to be a symptom of endometriosis, she really started to see her income climb afterwards. 'Since this challenge my earnings have begun to skyrocket, at the moment they're sitting at about $300,000 per month,' she revealed. The 27-year-old has also taken to social media to share that despite the health scare she's keen to attempt another sex challenge. 'Did I get hospitalised for taking 583 guys in six hours? Yes. Do I regret it? No. Do I want to do it again? Also yes,' she admitted. She did add that she wasn't sure what the new challenge would be however she just wanted it to be something 'fun and exciting'. Ms Knight said that despite her huge income, she's been savvy about avoiding owing the Australian Taxation Office. 'I've always had an accountant and have always paid my taxes. I put away a certain percentage of my earnings each pay so that I'm never left struggling to pay my tax,' she told The 27-year-old also owns four properties and has mortgages on three of them. She even purchased her dream home in Queensland for $2.7 million. Even though she's bring in lots of money she doesn't typically splash out on big ticket items but would rather invest and save. 'I am not super crazy with my spending. I've always been into saving and setting myself up for the future,' she said. The best thing about making so much money has been that it has allowed her to help others and do whatever she wants without money stress. 'It's allowed me to live a financially free life and basically do whatever I want whenever I want,' she said. 'It has also allowed me to achieve my dream of owning properties. I'm also very lucky in that I get to provide for my family and friends who are struggling.'
