Sudan war fuels child hunger crisis Sudan's war, now in its fourth year, has displaced millions, leaving parts of the country facing famine. Aid agencies warn that children are bearing the brunt as food shortages worsen and…

UNICEF is calling for $962M to save 7.9 million children in Sudan, yet global military spending continues to hit record trillions.

Watching pelicans hunt is so mesmerizing. Last night at sunset at Berkeley Marina. #birds

Also a 3rd yellow variety that's the sweetest I've tried.
I grew 2 types when I was in Sydney but found the one in the tropics more intense in flavour.

Similar to berries & bananas, I find they blend well into drinks either fresh or frozen.

WA government eyes off unused COVID quarantine facility for prison The WA government flags the possible conversion of the Bullsbrook COVID quarantine centre into a prison amid an "unprecedented" rise in the number of inmates being crammed into cells across the state.

It’s never a community centre, a shelter, a resource hub, a counselling service. Always a prison www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Public Health Alert Measles alert for Sydney and Newcastle 08 April 2026 NSW

NSW Health NSW 2h NSW Health is advising people to be alert for signs and symptoms of measles after being notified of a confirmed case who visited locations in Newcastle and Sydney while unknowingly infectious, including a healthcare facility. The case is a returned traveller who is suspected to have acquired their infection overseas in India, where there are ongoing outbreaks of measles. A full list of locations is available on the NSW Health website (http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/.../public-exposure...). Exposure locations and times are updated regularly. People who attended these locations should watch for symptoms of measles. These locations do not pose an ongoing risk. If it has been less than 6 days since the exposure at these locations and you are pregnant, have a weakened immune system or have an infant who was exposed, you are advised to contact your local Public Health Unit on 1300 066 055. There is currently an increased risk of measles in NSW, with 42 cases confirmed since 1 January 2026. Dr David Durrheim, Public Health Physician with Hunter New England Local Health District, said people should monitor for symptoms of measles, particularly if they have visited any of the exposure locations at the listed time. "Measles is a vaccine preventable disease that is spread through the air when someone who is infectious coughs or sneezes," Dr Durrheim said. "Symptoms to watch out for include fever, runny nose, sore eyes and a cough, usually followed three or four days later by a red, blotchy rash that spreads from the head to the rest of the body. "It can take up to 18 days for symptoms to appear after an exposure, so it's important for people who visited these locations to look out for symptoms for this period." "If they develop symptoms, they should call ahead to their GP or emergency department to ensure they do not spend time in the waiting room with other patients."

Bulava pilot Roman “Hulk” used Sting interceptors and Hornet Vision Ctrl to hit two Russian attack drones. Wild Hornets called it a world first.

Ukraine is turning survival under Shaheds into the tools that stop them.

Japan just unveiled a drone made entirely of cardboard. It flies at 120 km per hour, can be assembled in 5 minutes, and is designed to be used in massive swarms. The craziest part is it can be mass produced at any regular cardboard factory. The future is cheap.
