‘We don't want to': Ten news anchors overcome with emotion
10News+ hosts Amelia Brace and Denham Hitchcock both became visibly emotional during Thursday's episode, following a harrowing report about starvation faced by children in Gaza. The head of the World Health Organisation this week described Gaza as suffering 'man-made mass starvation,' with a quarter of the territory's population now facing famine-like conditions and close to 100,000 women and children are experiencing severe acute malnutrition. 10News+ focused on the toll the crisis was taking on Gaza's children, among them Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq, an 18-month-old child in Gaza City who weighs the same as a three-month-old baby. Both hosts appeared choked up as they back-announced the disturbing report. 'Denham, no matter what side you're on in all this – and I think most people aren't on sides – there is no parent, no person, who can look at those images and think that that's OK,' Brace told her co-host. 'We don't want to show you those pictures, we don't want to have to tell you that story. But as journalists and as humans, we owe it to those kids to do something,' she continued, her voice faltering as she struggled to contain her emotion. Earlier, Brace had introduced the story by acknowledging that it was a topic 'we know you might want to turn away from … but we're asking you to watch, because we all need to know about it.' The hosts explained that the report would focus on the starving children of Gaza: 'Children who have no choice. Who have not picked a side, but who are dying because there is not enough food to keep them alive.' This week, 109 global aid and human rights agencies – including Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam International and Amnesty International – united to sign a letter warning that civilians and their colleagues within Gaza are 'wasting away'. 'As the Israeli government's siege starves the people of Gaza, aid workers are now joining the same food lines, risking being shot just to feed their families,' the statement read. 'With supplies now totally depleted, humanitarian organisations are witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes.' In their statement, the humanitarian organisations said that warehouses with tonnes of supplies were sitting untouched inside and outside Gaza, while people were 'trapped in a cycle of hope and heartbreak, waiting for assistance and ceasefires'. 'It is not just physical torment but psychological. Survival is dangled like a mirage,' they said.

Ten's The Project replacement 10 News+ hits new low in latest TV ratings as it plummets to 20th spot
The Project replacement 10 News+ has sunk to a new low in the TV ratings just weeks after its debut. This week's ratings showed 10 News+ has plummeted to the 20th position on a list of Australia's highest rating news programs with a combined national average of just 140,000 viewers. Seven's nightly news led with a combined viewership of 1,318,000 people, with 9News taking second position at 1,215,000. However, in the traditional five metro cities market segment, 9News seemed to race ahead with 863,000 viewers to Seven's 858,000 figure. The ABC's evening show made it to third position, while Nine's A Current Affair finished in fourth and the ABC's 7.30 program hosted by Sarah Ferguson grabbed fifth spot. The July 16 ratings showed 10 News+ floundered in 20th position, while even regional television programs such as Win News performed better. The 6pm news aired for the first time on June 30, but the hard news segment did not seem to appeal to viewer's expectations as a replacement of the more conversation-infused The Project. 10News+ launched with just 291,000 viewers and continued to decline throughout the week, but it seems the broadcast is not ready to let go just yet. The fall in viewership is especially stark when compared to The Project's final episode on June 27, which saw 478,000 people tune in to bid the struggling programme farewell. However 10 News+ inherited the first half of The Project's 6:30pm–7:30pm slot, with the second half hour now freed up for the channel's primetime programming, meaning the two shows cannot be directly compared. Promising "extended context and deeper reporting on the day's biggest stories", the show is anchored by ex-Seven talent Denham Hitchcock and Amelia Brace from Sunday to Thursday, with Ursula Heger and Hugh Riminton hosting on Friday. The network previously said it was keen to see the team's work delivered to audiences across the country, but audiences have so far failed to engage. A spokesperson for Ten previously told the network was 'taking a long-term, multi-platform view of audience development.' 'Building a loyal news audience takes time, and we are prepared for gradual growth as audiences discover and connect with our unique approach to news delivery across many platforms,' the spokesperson said. '10 is fully committed to 10 News+. This is a marathon, not a sprint. "We are investing in building a sustainable, quality multi-platform news service that will grow and evolve with our audience's needs over time.'

Sydney childcare worker charged with child abuse offences
A Sydney childcare worker has been charged with abusing children, allegedly using them to create horrific content, but a court order prevents his identity from being revealed. The man, who cannot be named under court order, was charged with seven counts of using a child to make abusive material – three counts were aggravated. He was also charged with possessing child abuse data through a phone. The man fronted Parramatta Local Court on Friday after being arrested by Australian Federal Police on Thursday, according to reporting by 10 News+. Police had previously seized his electronic devices and arrested the married father at his own home. He worked at an early childcare centre in Sydney, but it cannot be identified because a court order was put in place to prevent 'psychological harm' to his alleged victims – including those yet to be identified by detectives. The AFP, in a statement, said they charged the Sydney man as part of an investigation into online child abuse material. 'The man came to police attention after the AFP-led Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation received a report regarding an online user who had allegedly uploaded child abuse material files to a cloud platform,' the AFP statement reads. 'There is no ongoing threat to the community.'
