Ambulance and police were called to the Harold Hotel, where police say two people were shot been shot multiple times by unknown attackers. One witness spoke to Channel Nine. "When I walked around the corner, I saw the guy that had been shot, one of them was lying on the ground so I ran up to him and then, probably 30 seconds later, some doctors, some other ladies that were inside the Harold Hotel came out." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed nationwide protests demanding an end to the Gaza war. He is defending his government's decision to bring more soldiers into Gaza and occupy Gaza city. "Our continued security control over the Strip is just one of our conditions for ending the war, conditions that Hamas refuses to accept. We insist not only that Hamas be disarmed, we also insist that Israel enforces the demilitarisation of the Strip over time by taking continuous action against any attempt to arm and organise any terrorist element." Several people have spray painted the pavement outside New South Wales parliament, as part of a rally against the state's protest laws. The group says want the Premier to change the laws they say limit people's ability to protest. "No to genocide, no to ecocide, yes to protest, now now now." "We are here today to call on Premier Chris Minns to respect the role of protests in our democracy. We are calling on him to tear up his repressive anti-protest laws." Five hundred robots from 16 countries - have competed at the World Humanoid Games in Beijing. The robots ran, played soccer, and boxed over three days. They didn't beat human records, but Gao Yuan, from China's Unitree Robotics company, says the event showed what they can do. 'We participated in these games not (just) to win a gold or silver medal. Our biggest win is not (being) the champion but showing everyone the charisma of our mass-produced robots. What matters the most is keeping up the healthy development of our industry.'

HK democrat Jimmy Lai's final stretch of marathon trial
Hong Kong pro-democracy businessman Jimmy Lai was provided with medication and a heart monitor for the start of his final submissions in a landmark national security trial, following health concerns over heart palpitations. Lai, 77, who founded the Apple Daily newspaper that was forced to close after a police raid and asset freeze in June 2021, has pleaded not guilty to two charges of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces, and a charge of conspiracy to publish seditious material. Lai's lawyer Robert Pang told the court last Friday that Lai had some episodes where he felt that he was collapsing and had heart "palpitations", prompting the court to adjourn proceedings and order that he be provided with a heart monitor and medication. Prosecutor Anthony Chau confirmed that Lai had been provided with these items on Friday and that he was fit for court on Monday. Lai, noticeably thinner than when the trial began in late 2023, was dressed in a white jacket in the glass dock and pressed his palms together in a prayer gesture several times to his family and supporters. One of the judges, Esther Toh, said additional breaks could be provided for Lai if need be, while also acknowledging the opinion of a medical expert who examined Lai that he was "physically and mentally fit for court". "I'm worried for him. He's already in his 70s and has diabetes, and now palpitations," said Lucille, a supporter who queued for hours to get into the packed courtroom. Lai, a British citizen, has been held in solitary confinement for around 1700 days. His son Sebastien Lai and some rights groups have expressed fear over his deteriorating health on X. Some Western governments have called for Lai's immediate release and raised concerns about the erosion of fundamental rights in the financial hub under China-imposed national security laws. Hong Kong and Chinese authorities have said Lai is being given a fair trial and have warned against such interference in the city's internal affairs. US President Donald Trump said last week that he would "do everything I can to save him". An Australian foreign affairs spokesperson told Reuters on Monday that Canberra was "deeply concerned by Hong Kong's widespread application of national security laws to repress civil society and prosecute pro-democracy advocates ... such as Jimmy Lai". The trial's final days come just days after Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Ted Hui was granted asylum in Australia, more than four years after he left Hong Kong where he faces criminal charges over the 2019 pro-democracy protests. with AP

Government working toward helping banned Meta users raise complaints
Anfas Azad spent six years and more than $80,000 in digital ads building an Instagram page for his online jewellery business, which he operated from Brisbane. In July, he was banned from all Meta-owned platforms for allegedly breaching its community standards. Over 6,000 of his followers were gone in an instant. Without a retail store or other means of interacting with potential customers, Mr Azad essentially lost his livelihood. "A jewellery business is all about trust, and to see years of work just crumble for no clear reason or fault of your own is devastating." Instagram said Mr Azad breached Meta's standards on child exploitation, abuse and nudity, but it did not say which post or actions breached the platform's rules. "It's a very serious issue and I haven't done anything as such," he said. "I still don't know what exactly happened … It's embarrassing and it's insulting." Mr Azad is one of dozens of Australian users to have contacted the ABC to say they were falsely accused of breaching Meta's standards — including its child abuse rules. Many say their businesses were up-ended and their personal lives were deeply affected, but there is no functional way of appealing the account bans because users are directed to automated processing systems. The Australian government has responded by saying it has taken steps to address the way major digital providers operating in Australia handle internal disputes. The ABC understands that the Australian government wrote to the Digital Industry Group Inc (DIGI) and major digital platform providers operating in Australia in February 2024. It requested a voluntary internal dispute resolution (IDR) code to help users raise issues and get better outcomes, including with regard to the loss of their online accounts. An IDR code is a set of guidelines — voluntarily agreed to by industry members — for handling complaints. "The Australian Government is working with the Digital Industry Group Inc (DIGI) and major digital platform providers operating in Australia on a voluntary internal dispute resolution code to help users raise issues and get better outcomes, including loss of accounts," a government spokesperson said. It is understood that Australia's digital industry association is in the process of finalising this code, and the government will monitor the outcomes of this process. In the meantime, banned users like Mr Azad feel helpless. "What can I do? There's nobody to speak to, there's nobody to contact," he said. "This could happen to absolutely anyone, and there is no protection. Meta seems to be above the law. "I don't think it should be allowed for business pages to just be taken down like that." Users across the globe have also raised this issue, with nearly 37,000 people signing a petition blaming Meta's "broken AI enforcement systems" of wrongfully banning accounts. They say the only way to speak to a human is to pay for Meta Verified, and even then, many say the support team is unhelpful. Desperate to speak to a customer representative, Mr Azad said he contacted Meta's marketing department, but they stone-walled him. "They simply said, 'There's nothing we can do, this is not our department, we are only in charge of advertising,'" he said. "And when I asked who do I contact to explain my situation, they said, 'Sorry, there is nothing we can do, we are only in advertising,' and they don't redirect you to anyone. "The irony is, even though they are human beings, they speak to you in a loop like robots." Meta acknowledged in July that a "technical problem" had caused the wrongful suspensions of some Facebook groups, but it denied its platforms were more widely affected. A spokesperson did not answer previous ABC questions about why it wrongly accused another Australian user of violating its policies. Within hours of the ABC contacting the company about the case, Meta reinstated the banned account. The ABC has contacted Meta again about Mr Azad's case. The tech giant has not commented on claims that Meta's AI is to blame for unfairly banning people. Instagram states AI is central to its "content review process," and Meta has outlined how technology and humans enforce its policies. In July, Meta said it was taking "aggressive action" on accounts breaking its rules. It reported the removal of about 635,000 Instagram and Facebook accounts for sexualised images or comments related to children under 13. Meta's wide-ranging policy on child sexual exploitation has changed three times since December 2024. Mr Azad's Instagram account was disabled on July 18, which coincides with one of the dates the company made amendments to its policy. Meta has not said what impact, if any, these changes had on the cases the ABC has raised with it.
