CNA938 Rewind - Trump's not happy with Putin, but will it mean stronger action?
CNA938 Rewind Play U.S President Donald Trump has called Russia's Vladimir Putin 'absolutely crazy', after Moscow's largest aerial attack yet on Ukraine that killed at least 12 people and injured dozens more on Sunday. It's giving President Trump an impetus to add more pressure on Russia -- namely more sanctions, which some argue may not be enough to stop the war. Andrea Heng and Susan Ng get an analysis of the situation from Javed Ali, Associate Professor of Practice, Gerald R Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan

Police officer's tribute to boy, 7, who died 25 years ago on his way home from school
A police traffic officer has paid tributes to a seven-year-old who died in a crash 25 years ago. Rizwan Quraishi was on duty when he received the news of an incident on Blackburn Road in Haslingden. The crash happened on May 24, 2000, at around 3.15pm as Javed Ali was heading home from school. The fatal crash occurred on the doorstep of St James' Primary School at a pelican crossing. Mr Quraishi, who retired from policing following 30 years of service, said the harrowing incident shocked the local community. He said: 'I feel it necessary that we must not forget about Javed Ali who, at just seven years old was tragically killed. 'He is buried in the Islamic part of the Grane Road cemetery in Haslingden and I have visited his grave on this commemoration and laid some flowers down to give him the respect and prayers he deserves. 'Javed Ali, 25 years have passed, through this passage of time - you are not forgotten, may Allah bless your soul.' The crash happened on the doorstep of St James primary school (Image: LT) Javed was described as a 'delightful bubbly smart' boy. Following the incident Burnley magistrates fined driver Terence Arthur Yates, 44, £1,000, ordered him to pay £75 costs and imposed eight penalty points on his licence after he admitted driving without due care and attention. The sentence at the time was criticised by the family for being far too lenient. Yates, of Burnley Road, Rawtenstall, was not hurt in the incident but was treated at the scene for shock by paramedics.

Inflation Still the Main Concern for Australia's Fastest Growing Migrant Community
Indian-Australian voters say cost of living was the main priority during the recent federal election, and will be something they hope the new government can deal with. The Indian community is predicted to overtake the United Kingdom as the biggest migrant group in the country, with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) estimating 916,330 Indian-born residents locally. This population swell has led politicians from across the spectrum to actively court this diaspora, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's pledge for a Hindi School in Sydney. Despite the high-profile outreach, day-to-day concerns weighed more heavily for Indian-Australian voters than cultural symbolism. Priyanka Athalye, a 41-year-old IT consultant and mother of three from Vermont South in Melbourne, said her vote was shaped by rising expenses and worries about the future. 'Cost of living was the key issue on my mind when I stepped out to vote last week,' Athalye told The Epoch Times.

So it basically boils down to what the future opportunities hold in Australia.' In Sydney, Anita Kumari, a housewife from Girraween, west of Parramatta, echoed similar concerns. With two school-age daughters, her vote was driven by the cost-of-living crisis. 'Lately, living in Sydney has become very expensive. We have voted for a government that can promise us some relief,' she said. Canberra resident Gaurav Arora, 42, said mortgage repayments were his biggest burden. A resident of Bruce since 2018, he bought a home just before the pandemic, only to be hit by surging interest rates. 'My only hope is that I get a government that can make sure its policies lead to the Reserve Bank slashing interest rates further,' he said. Javed Ali, 32, a financial consultant from Box Hill, also in Melbourne's east, who works remotely, said economic concerns and high utility costs were top of mind. 'I have voted for a government that can give an uplift to our economy, which has taken a hit since COVID freebies started to flow in,' he said.
