Many nations face becoming a land of elderly people in the following decades. Here are some of them.

Back in May, Amos Hochstein, US President Joe Biden's point-man for keeping a lid on tensions between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, spoke in a webinar.

"What I worry about every single day," he said, "is that a miscalculation or an accident… hits a bus full of children, or hits another kind of civilian target, that could force the political system in either country to retaliate in a way that slides us into war. Even though both sides probably understand that a fuller or deeper-scale war is in neither side's interest."

The equivalent of that bus came on Saturday evening in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

A rocket, which Israel says was launched by Hezbollah from Shebaa in southern Lebanon, slammed into a soccer pitch in the Druze town of Majdal Shams. Twelve children, ranging in age from 10 to 16, were killed while taking part in a training session. Hezbollah has denied responsibility for the strike. Will Hochstein's fear of a fuller-scale war now also come to pass?

If Israel's Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, is to be believed, it probably will. "We are approaching the moment of an all-out war against Hezbollah," he said in an Israeli television interview on Saturday evening.

"The response to this event will be accordingly."

The US has apparently blessed retaliatory action, to some degree. "We stand by Israel's right to defend its citizens from terrorist attacks," said Secretary of State Antony Blinken, before adding that the US did not want to "see the conflict escalate."

The response, so far, has been relatively timid. More strikes will probably follow.

"We're fed up with lofty rhetoric and hollow words accompanied by feeble action," former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett told CNN.

"The only way to stop all of this, the only way to deter our enemies from hitting us… is to fight back and to hit them. There's no other way."

For months now, the international community has been trying to de-escalate tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. With Iran's strongest proxy estimated to have at least 150,000 missiles and rockets pointing south, the fear is of a war that would devastate Lebanon, and do serious damage to Israel.

Moreover, as Aaron David Miller, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told CNN, "it has the potential to create a situation that we have never seen in this region: a major regional war, which could draw in the Gulf". He warns it could also lead to direct confrontation between the US and Iran.

And yet, over the past near-10 months of fighting, Israel, Hezbollah and Iran have always pulled back from what appeared to be the brink. In January, Israel took out a senior Hamas leader in Beirut. All-out war failed to materialise.

In April, Israel killed a top commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRCHG) in Damascus. In response, Iran launched unprecedented strikes on Israel. All-out war failed to materialise.

The status quo, of course, can't continue either. Tens of thousands of Israelis have been displaced from their homes. Large swathes of northern Israel are like ghost towns. A similar picture plays out in southern Lebanon. The best way to avoid all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah, says Blinken, is to get a ceasefire in Gaza. Talks aimed at achieving that resume on Sunday.

But that would only be a short-term fix. Israel wants to remove the Hezbollah threat entirely, moving it back to the Litani River, in accordance with the UN Security Council Resolution that ended the last major war between the two in 2006. "If the world doesn't get Hezbollah away from the border, Israel will do it," said Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant in December.

And so despite the bombast, domestic pressures, the fears and the escalations, the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah continues to simmer rather than boil over. No one seems to want this war. But as Hochstein warned in that same webinar: "Wars have started historically around the world even when leaders didn't want them, because they had no choice."

A young surfer who was attacked by a three-metre-long great white shark has revealed his leg was unable to be saved.

Kai McKenzie's suffered serious injuries to his right leg at North Shore Beach in Port Macquarie last Tuesday.

An off-duty police officer who was on the beach with his dog rushed to help McKenzie and used his dog's leash as a makeshift tourniquet to stop the bleeding on the surfer's leg.

After the ordeal, the surfer was treated by paramedics and flown to John Hunter Hospital for treatment.

He has since been surrounded by support and has not lost his sense of humour after the attack.

"Spot something missing?" he wrote on Instagram on Monday morning.

"So good to have so many amazing people behind me."

In another social media post over the weekend, McKenzie once again expressed his gratitude.

"To be here right now just to f–-king be able to hold my beautiful Eve and my family is everything to me," he said.

"A few days ago I went through a crazy shark attack, biggest shark I've ever seen, which was a very crazy scene and scared the living f–k out of me.

"But to all you f–king kind hearted people, all you legends, to anyone and everyone all your support has meant the absolute world to me. 

"It's so cool to see so many beautiful people support me."

"I can tell you now if you know my personality this means f–k all. 

"I'll be back in that water In no time, big f–k off to that shark and big thanks to Steve for saving my life."

An online fundraiser has raised more than $160,000 to support McKenzie's rehabilitation and recovery as of Monday morning.

Olympic broadcaster Eurosport has removed one of its commentators, Bob Ballard, after he made an "outrageous" remark about Australia's golden girls of the pool.

The comment was made after Australia's female 4x100m freestyle relay team – which included Mollie O'Callaghan, Shayna Jack, Emma McKeon and Meg Harris – won gold on Saturday evening.

"Well, the women just finishing up. You know what women are like … hanging around, doing their makeup," Ballard said in response.

Ballard's co-commentator, Lizzie Simmonds, described the remark, which went viral on social media, as "outrageous".

"During a segment of Eurosport's coverage last night, commentator Bob Ballard made an inappropriate comment," the broadcaster said in a statement.

"To that end, he has been removed from our commentary roster with immediate effect."

Ballard is yet to comment publicly on his removal from the commentary team.

Mollie O'Callaghan, Shayna Jack, Emma McKeon and Meg Harris won the event with an Olympic record of 3:28.92.

The victory marked our fourth straight Olympic gold in the women's 4x100m freestyle and made McKeon Australia's most successful Olympian with six gold medals.

The date was Saturday, April 16, 1994. Anthea Bradshaw was a radiant new bride and had just tied the knot with her high school sweetheart, Jeff Hall.

The two were united in wedded bliss. 

Just 96 days later Anthea was stabbed, strangled and left lifeless in a pool of blood, half a world away from home, in Brunei, South East Asia.

Thirty years on, her murder remains a mystery and her family is still heartbroken, left without any answers.

Ben Avery, a reporter with 9News, has tirelessly followed the case of Anthea's murder for more than a decade

In his podcast investigation, Just Married: The Anthea Bradshaw Mystery, in collaboration with 9News and 9Podcasts, Ben is looking for answers.

READ MORE: Why I'm investigating the Anthea Bradshaw mystery

For Avery, this series wasn't just sparked by a puzzling case which came across the news desk, but has become a mission in seeking justice for a family who've never known what really happened to their beloved daughter and sister.

Although the Bradshaw's have tried to move forward, grief has gripped them in every moment. For Anthea's mother, Ros, the pain is unimaginable and it appears time doesn't heal all wounds.

It's an existence. Someone has to suffer for murdering her. You can't do this in life and just get away with that," said Ros.

In the eyes of those who loved the young Adelaide primary school teacher, Anthea was a bright, considerate woman who was in the prime of her life. Following her husband who'd just received a dream job opportunity, Anthea was ready to take a leap of faith to Brunei, and leave her family behind. 

The day before she was set to return home to Australia, Anthea was ruthlessly murdered..

Expecting the imminent arrival of their darling daughter, the late Martin Bradshaw said one phone call turned their lives upside down.

"I was up in the bedroom. It's etched in my mind… I heard the phone go, I heard Ros answer the phone… she was screaming. By the time I got down in the kitchen, Ros was in the corner on the floor in the foetal position just rocking back and forth. I was perfectly calm and lucid… Until I looked down, and I had urinated in my trousers."

Her body was discovered by her husband, Jeff, on the floor of their third storey apartment in a gated community. Who would want her murdered? And why? 

As the years have passed since her death, local police in Brunei, South Australian and Australian Federal Police have interviewed suspects, examined forensics and explored the alibis of those known to Anthea but to no avail.

How did an alleged cartel kingpin who evaded capture for more than half a century end up in the hands of US federal agents?

According to officials, it started with an act of betrayal.

Details are still emerging about what led last week to one of the most significant and stunning cartel busts in recent memory.

READ MORE: Paris Olympics organisers say they meant no disrespect with Last Supper tableau

US officials who've spoken with CNN say a key player in the operation to arrest Sinaloa cartel co-founder Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada was another major cartel figure who was arrested beside him.

Joaquín Guzmán López, one of the sons of convicted cartel boss Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, duped Zambada and orchestrated their arrest, officials told CNN.

Zambada, 76, thought he and Guzmán López were flying to northern Mexico to look at real estate, officials said. But instead, their small private plane landed north of the border near El Paso, Texas, where US authorities were waiting on the tarmac.

But how was Guzmán López able to pull off the act of deception officials have described? And why did he turn on Zambada?

So far, we haven't heard either man's account of what happened. Zambada pleaded not guilty to all charges in his first federal court appearance Friday.

"Typically, I do not comment on my criminal cases. However, I will say that my client did not come to the US voluntarily," his attorney, Frank Perez, told CNN.

Guzmán López, 38, is expected to appear in federal court on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) in Chicago, his attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, told CNN.

Lichtman said in an email that he'd appear in court with Guzmán López and added, "I'm looking forward to seeing Joaquin and working on the case with him". He declined further comment.

One cartel expert told CNN he's dubious of some details officials have shared.

"It would not surprise me at all if the story changes from today to tomorrow, or next week," said InSight Crime's Steven Dudley, who's spent more than a decade investigating drug trafficking and organised crime.

And as reporters pressed for answers in a contentious press conference last week, Mexico's president suggested he, too, has many questions about what occurred.

"The government of the United States has to give a complete report. It can't be just general statements," President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said. "There has to be transparency."

This much is clear: the arrests of Zambada and Guzmán López mark a major development in decades-long efforts to capture and prosecute alleged cartel bosses. And the details revealed so far about what led to this dramatic moment offer a telling glimpse into the inner workings of what authorities describe as one of the world's most notorious and nefarious criminal enterprises.

Authorities had closed in on 'El Mayo' before

It wasn't the first time authorities had Zambada in their sights.

In a 2010 interview with the Mexican magazine Proceso, Zambada said Mexico's military had come close to capturing him at least four times before.

"I fled through the highlands, where I know the branches, the streams, the rocks, everything. They catch me if I am still or if I am careless, like El Chapo," he said.

At the time, Zambada told Proceso that fear about being captured weighed on him constantly.

"I'm terrified that they'll lock me up," he said.

That 2010 interview was one of his last known public appearances for the notably lower-profile Zambada. His name surged into international headlines in 2018 and 2019 during the high-profile trial of Guzmán, whose lawyer argued that Zambada was the cartel's true leader.

Lichtman, the defence attorney, also represented the elder Guzmán and alleged at the time that Zambada had bribed the Mexican government to frame El Chapo and remain free to run the cartel.

In 2021, US authorities raised the reward for information leading to Zambada's arrest to $US15 million ($22.9 million).

Over the years, Zambada's storied ability to evade capture was referenced in narcocorrido ballads about him. The 2022 corrido "Señor Zambada," performed by El Fantasma and Enigma Norteño from Zambada's perspective, includes the lines: "I know very well that they want to catch me, that the government wanted to lock me up. But they are going to keep wanting that, because no matter how much they look, they are not going to find me."

His elusive reputation also caught the attention of his enemies, former Drug Enforcement Administration agent Mike Vigil told CNN.

"Mayo Zambada, prior to (Thursday) and over 50 years of involvement in the drug trade had never been captured, never served any time," Vigil said, "so he is highly respected even by his rivals."

Dudley of InSight Crime pointed to this aspect of Zambada's past when he told CNN en Español he was skeptical of accounts that painted the Sinaloa cartel leader as an unwitting victim who was tricked into being captured.

"I'm not 100 per cent convinced that's what happened. I see in El Mayo Zambada a person who's older. He's 76. I see a person who's also experienced, a person who knows exactly when and from where any deception is coming," Dudley said. "That's why he's never stepped foot in a jail until yesterday. So I have my doubts. That is to say, I think that we're still missing information."

Officials say they exploited a rift in the cartel

Officials who spoke with CNN said Zambada boarded a plane with Guzmán López on Thursday thinking they'd be inspecting property together near the border. Zambada didn't realise US investigators had exploited a rift in the Sinaloa cartel, one official said, and that Guzmán López was in fact helping with Zambada's capture.

A long-simmering power struggle between Zambada and El Chapo's sons, also known as the Chapitos, was about to boil over.

Agents from Homeland Security Investigations, which led the operation, were skeptical at first when Guzmán López made the offer, an official familiar with the operation told CNN.

But as the plane they were flying in landed at the Santa Teresa airport near El Paso, Texas, on Thursday, federal agents were waiting.

One worker at the airport told Reuters that he saw a Beechcraft King Air land on Thursday afternoon on the runway, where federal agents were already waiting.

"Two individuals got off the plane… and were calmly taken into custody," said the man, who declined to share his name out of concern for his safety.

"It seemed like a pretty calm, arranged thing," he added.

The entire operation, one source told CNN, went off surprisingly smoothly given the gravity of the arrests and the disruption it could cause to drug trafficking from Mexico.

Now that Zambada and Guzmán López are in US custody, authorities are ready to make the case against them.

Both Zambada and Guzmán López face charges in the US for allegedly leading the cartel's criminal operations, including its "deadly fentanyl manufacturing and trafficking networks," US Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement after the arrests.

Top US officials trumpeted the arrests as a major victory. But some analysts were more measured in their assessment of the potential impact.

"It's a historic capture, of course, and symbolic. But is it going to create a collateral effect or have an impact on drug trafficking? I really doubt that," Dudley said. "As much because El Mayo had pulled back already from the day-to-day operations, and the world of drug trafficking is really now a different world from when he started. It's much more decentralized. It's much more like a franchise. There are contractors, subcontractors, other contractors. There are many parts that can be easily replaced."

Speculating on what could happen next, Mexico's president pointed to Zambada's own words in the 2010 Proceso interview. If he were captured or killed, Zambada said that effectively nothing would happen. In the world of drug trafficking, he said, whether capos are "locked up, dead, or extradited, their replacements are already out there".

Experts say there's little doubt that these arrests, like past high-profile kingpin takedowns, will spur a new wave of violence as rival groups vie for territory and power.

And no matter what new details emerge about how they happened, the surprising and dramatic arrests won't soon be forgotten.

A very specialised part of the world's largest naval drills off the northern Hawaiian island of Kauai is gaining attention on both sides of the Pacific.

Earlier this month, the US and allies practiced taking out a large surface ship with long-range weapons, including, for the first time, a US Air Force B-2 bomber.

In one test that analysts called "very significant" in what it could mean for the calculus of any future, hypothetical conflict between the US and China, a B-2 stealth bomber hit a decommissioned amphibious assault ship with an inexpensive guided bomb.

The test of the weapon, dubbed QUICKSINK by the US Air Force, occurred on July 19, when a B-2 participated in the sinking of the ex-USS Tarawa, a retired 250m-long, 39,000-ton amphibious assault ship, a vessel the size of a small aircraft carrier.

It showed the US military can use one of its most survivable weapons platforms, the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber, to sink a major surface ship with a low-cost guided bomb.

"This capability is an answer to an urgent need to quickly neutralise maritime threats over massive expanses of ocean around the world at minimal costs," said a press release from the US Navy's 3rd Fleet, which led Rim of the Pacific 2024 (RIMPAC), the exercise that included the sinking of the ex-Tarawa.

The B-2 bomber is the US military's most sophisticated aircraft.

The Air Force says its stealthy characteristics allow it to penetrate heavily defended areas and also fly with a small chance of being detected by radar at high altitudes.

That gives the B-2's sensors the ability to get a view of the battlefield not possible in lower-flying planes.

Mating it up with relatively cheap and demonstrably effective precision-guided bombs with warheads of up to 907kg could give the Air Force bombers the "anti-ship lethality" of a submarine-launched torpedo without the liabilities of a submarine, according to a US Air Force website.

"A Navy submarine has the ability to launch and destroy a ship with a single torpedo at any time, but by launching that weapon, it gives away its location and becomes a target," the Air Force Research Lab says.

QUICKSINK could provide "a low-cost method of achieving torpedo-like seaworthy kills from the air at a much higher pace and over a much larger area than covered by a lumbering submarine," it says.

The Air Force first tested QUICKSINK in 2022, when an F-15 fighter jet released a GBU-31 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) that destroyed a full-scale surface target in the Gulf of Mexico, according to an Air Force statement.

Analysts say QUICKSINK launched from a B-2 would give China's People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) much to consider in the event of any possible conflict in the western Pacific, including around hotspots like Taiwan, the Philippines and the southern islands of Japan.

"It is very significant," said Carl Schuster, former head of the US Pacific Command Joint Intelligence Centre.

"The B-2's demonstrated anti-maritime capability will constrain if not deter PLAN operations east of Taiwan or off the Philippines.

"You cannot ignore a weapon that can sink a 25,000-plus-ton ship with one hit," Schuster added.

In any conflict close to its home shores, China, on paper, holds distinct advantages.

It has thousands of missiles on the Chinese mainland, the world's largest navy to dominate nearby seas and the ability to provide air cover to those ships from land-based aircraft.

But the B-2, and other systems tested at RIMPAC, could negate some of China's advantages with long-range fire, analysts said.

"It extends the range at which potential enemies can be held at risk through advanced weapons whilst retaining a considerable degree of stealth. It basically says, you are not safe no matter where you are in this vast theatre," said Alessio Patalano, professor of war and strategy at King's College in London.

Anti-ship missiles

Long-range missiles were also fired from aircraft and ships during RIMPAC.

A US Navy F/A-18 also hit the ex-Tarawa with a Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRSAM), "a precise, stealthy, and survivable cruise missile," the Navy's 3rd Fleet press release said.

This missile can hit targets up to 370 kilometres away with a 453kg warhead while navigating semi-autonomously to its target.

And the Royal Australian Navy destroyer HMAS Sydney struck the ex-Tarawa with a Naval Strike Missile (NSM), an achievement Vice Adm. Mark Hammond, Australia's chief of navy, said "represents a significant increase in the lethality of our surface fleet."

"Multi-domain strike capabilities including Naval Strike Missile are foundational to deterring any potential adversary's attempts to project power against Australia," he said.

The Naval Strike Missile, developed by Norwegian defence company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace, can challenge an adversary's defences by flying at sea-skimming altitudes and making evasive manoeuvres in flight at a range of 185 kilometres.

A US Navy destroyer, USS Fitzgerald, also tested a Naval Strike Missile during RIMPAC, and the weapon has previously been fired from a US littoral combat ship and land-based versions have been successfully tested by the US Marine Corps.

The ex-Tarawa was one of two surface vessels sunk during RIMPAC.

On July 11, the ex-USS Dubuque, a 17,000-ton amphibious transport dock was sent to the bottom of the Pacific, also off Kauai.

'Real-world experience'

Besides the US and Australian units, forces from South Korea, Malaysia and the Netherlands participated in ship-sinking exercises.

"Sinking exercises give us a chance to sharpen our skills, learn from one another, and get real-world experience," US Navy Vice Adm. John Wade, RIMPAC 2024 Combined Task Force commander, said in a statement.

"Using advanced weapons and seeing the professionalism of our teams during these drills shows our commitment to keeping the Indo-Pacific region safe and open."

John Bradford, a Council on Foreign Relations International Affairs fellow, said the RIMPAC tests show what kind of conflict the US is preparing for in the region.

"We can fully expect a major power naval conflict in the Pacific to be predominantly a fight of long-range weapons," Bradford said.

"The US is investing in readiness for this sort of combat," he said.

View from China

China was taking note of the RIMPAC plans even before the ship-sinking exercises took place.

A commentary in the state-run Global Times on June 27, the day RIMPAC began, said, "the only country deemed as 'enemy' by the US that operates a 40,000-ton amphibious assault ship in the Asia-Pacific region is China."

The PLA Navy has three Type 075 amphibious assault ships, which displace around 36,000 tons, in service with a fourth being readied.

A bigger successor, the Type 076, is also under construction.

Global Times has previously cited Song Zhongping, a Chinese military expert and TV commentator, as saying the Type 075s could be called into action in the Taiwan Strait or South China Sea if the situation dictated it.

"The choice of the USS Tarawa as the sinking target reflects the concern of the US and its allies about the development and strength of China's maritime power, especially regarding the mainland's military deterrence on the Taiwan island," the Global Times commentary said.

But it said sinking the ex-Tarawa, which was commissioned in 1976, had little relevance in 2024.

"Such an outdated ship cannot be compared with modern military equipment," Global Times said.

An art historian has identified a missing portrait of King Henry VIII after spotting it on social media.

British fine art researcher Adam Busiakiewicz was idly scrolling on X when he was stopped in his tracks by a post from somebody he follows.

The post was a photograph shared by Tim Cox, the Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire – an honorary position representing the British Crown in the central English county.

LIVE UPDATES: Demon makes huge call ahead of Paris campaign

It showed a gathering at a reception in Warwick's Shire Hall, where Warwickshire County Council is based.

But Busiakiewicz wasn't interested in the people smiling at the camera.

His focus was on the background where, hanging on a wall, was what he suspected was a missing portrait of the Tudor monarch Henry VIII.

In a post published on his blog earlier this month, Busiakiewicz said he had been "scrolling at speed" when he spotted the painting "with a distinctive arched top" on the wall.

He was immediately reminded of a series of 22 portraits commissioned by a local politician and tapestry-maker during the 1590s.

According to Busiakiewicz, Ralph Sheldon commissioned the pictures – which were mostly of kings, queens and "significant contemporary international figures" – to hang in his home, Weston House in Warwickshire.

The reason they had arched tops was because they "were once incorporated into an architectural frieze of the Long Gallery at Weston," Busiakiewicz said.

In a press release sent to CNN, Busiakiewicz said the arched top was a "special feature of the Sheldon set," while the painting's frame was "identical to other surviving examples."

The painting also showed the king holding a sword and wearing a feathered hat – just as he appeared in an engraving of the Long Hall made by antiquarian Henry Shaw in 1839.

READ MORE: Man charged after police allegedly find 60 kilos of methamphetamine in car boot

The series of portraits was later dispersed at auction and "the majority remain untraced to this day," according to Busiakiewicz.

After making his theory public, Busiakiewicz visited Warwick's Shire Hall together with local historian Aaron Manning to see the painting close up.

"The portrait is large, and completely in-line with the other Sheldon portraits," Busiakiewicz wrote in a later blog post, on July 22.

READ MORE: Man shot dead by NSW Police allegedly tried to stab officer in shoulder

In a telephone call with CNN, Busiakiewicz revealed that this was not the first discovery he had made thanks to social media.

In 2018, he stumbled across a picture a friend had taken at a wedding and posted on Instagram.

It featured a portrait that he identified as the work of 17th-century female artist Joan Carlile.

"Social media is a crazy thing," Busiakiewicz told CNN, "because some people use it to watch cat videos and follow what's going on in the world, and then people like me just look at what people have hanging on their walls."

A spokesperson for Warwickshire County Council told CNN in an email that Busiakiewicz and Manning approached them about the painting and arranged to come and see it.

"Adam and Aaron viewed the painting at Shire Hall, and have confirmed they think it is definitely one of the Ralph Sheldon commissions," the spokesperson wrote.

"Since this discovery, the painting has been moved into our Museum Collections Centre to allow further research to take place."

Busiakiewicz told CNN that the identity of the painter is not known, but the creator of the portraits is "sometimes referred to as The Sheldon Master."

He is now working on trying to establish the painting's provenance.

It was acquired by the council as recently as 1951 but there are gaps in the records.

"Provenance is always such a really tricky thing – it's very hard sometimes to find, particularly when pictures are sold privately. But there's no doubt that this is Ralph Sheldon's painting of Henry VIII," he said.

"Looking at paintings and pictures of paintings is my life and it's great fun, particularly when you can in some way right a historic wrong, let's say. Pictures that are overlooked, pictures that aren't appreciated as much as they might be."

As the presidential campaign enters a critical final 100 day stretch, Republican nominee Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, rallied supporters on Saturday in a state that hasn't backed a GOP candidate for the White House since 1972.

The rally in St Cloud, Minnesota, was designed as a sign of the campaign's bullishness about its prospects across the Midwest, particularly when President Joe Biden was showing signs of weakness ahead of his decision to exit the campaign.

Trump, who won Michigan and Wisconsin in 2016 only to lose them four years later, has increasingly focused on Minnesota as a state where he'd like to put Democrats on defence.

READ MORE: FBI says Trump was indeed struck by bullet during assassination attempt

The rally is something of a gamble, potentially forcing the likely Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Democrats to devote resources in a state they would likely otherwise ignore.

But it could also be a risk for Trump if he spends time in places that might prove to be a reach with Harris leading the ticket when he could otherwise focus on maintaining his support in more traditional battlegrounds.

Trump spoke for more than an hour and a half to cheering crowds holding signs supporting police and calling for the deportation of migrants in the country illegally.

READ MORE: Evidence in Trump trial was 'overwhelming' and conviction should stand: prosecutors

He continued a pattern of escalating attacks against Harris on immigration and crime.

He called her a "crazy liberal" and accused her of wanting to "defund the police," while he said by contrast, he wants to "overfund the police."

"She has no clue, she's evil," Trump said, suggesting Harris had failed at her tasks related to the border as vice president.

"Kamala Harris' deadly destruction of America's borders is completely and totally disqualifying for her to be president."

READ MORE: Trump might not have been hit by a bullet, FBI director testifies

Trump called out Harris for a 2020 post she made after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis at the hands of police.

The post had encouraged people to help protesters by donating to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which had been working on reforming the bail system and posted criminal bail for people as part of a campaign to address inequities in the system.

Though Harris did not contribute to the fund herself, her tweet was among those from celebrities and high-profile people that helped donations flow into the cash-strapped non profit, helping it quickly raise US$34 million ($51.8 million).

In the immediate aftermath of the protests and unrest, the group actually spent little bailing out protesters.

Ammar Moussa, a spokesperson for the Harris campaign, called Trump's attack line "a desperate lie from a desperate campaign" that can't change the fact that its candidate has been convicted of multiple felonies.

Trump also knocked Harris as an "absolute radical" on abortion, seemingly sensing an opening to attack her on the issue after she has become the Biden administration's most vocal proponent of abortion rights.

READ MORE: Donald Trump repeatedly mispronounces Kamala Harris' name at campaign rally

He wrongly suggested Harris wants abortion "right up until birth and after birth."

Infanticide is criminalised in every state, and no state has passed a law that allows killing a baby after birth.

Yet the former president also recycled much of his past material targeting Biden, showing how his campaign has sought to keep Biden's pitfalls fresh in voters' minds even after the president has ended his candidacy and endorsed Harris.

Trump's remarks followed a spirited speech from Vance, in which he leaned heavily into issues that animate the GOP base, particularly security at the US-Mexico border and crime.

He also took a broadside against the news media, arguing that journalists were comparing the first Black woman and person of south Asian descent to lead a major party ticket to Martin Luther King, Jr.

In May, Trump headlined a GOP fundraiser in St. Paul, where he boasted he could win the state and made explicit appeals to the iron-mining range in northeast Minnesota, where he hopes a heavy population of blue-collar and union workers will shift to Republicans after years of being solidly Democratic.

Appealing to that population has also helped Minnesota Gov Tim Walz land on the list of about a dozen Democrats who are being vetted to potentially be Harris' running mate.

Walz posted on the social platform X on Friday poking fun at Trump's visit to his state.

"Donald Trump is coming back to the State of Hockey tomorrow for the hat trick," Walz wrote. "He lost Minnesota in '16, '20, and he'll lose it again in '24."

Saturday's rally took place at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center, a 5159-seat hockey arena.

After surviving the July 13 assassination attempt on him at an outdoor rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump has only had events at indoor venues.

But he said in a post on his social media network Saturday that he will schedule outdoor stops and the "SECRET SERVICE HAS AGREED TO SUBSTANTIALLY STEP UP THEIR OPERATION."

Secret Service officials would not say whether the agency had agreed to expand operations at Trump's campaign events or had any concerns about him potentially resuming outdoor gatherings.

"Ensuring the safety and security of our protectees is our highest priority," Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement on Saturday.

"In the interest of maintaining operational integrity, we are not able to comment on specifics of our protective means or methods.'

"Earlier Saturday, Trump spoke at a bitcoin conference in Nashville, Tennessee, laying out a plan to embrace cryptocurrency if elected and promising to make the US the "crypto capital of the planet" and a "bitcoin superpower."

Trump didn't always support cryptocurrency but has changed his attitude toward the digital tokens in recent years and in May, his campaign started accepting donations in cryptocurrency.

Also on Saturday, Harris ramped up her campaign for president with her first fundraiser since becoming the Democrats' likely White House nominee.

The event in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on Saturday was expected to raise more than $2.1 million, her campaign announced, from an audience of hundreds at the Colonial Theatre.

That would be $1.5 million–plus more than the original goal set for the event before Biden dropped out of the race.

The former police officer accused of murdering Sydney couple Jesse Baird and Luke Davies has been hit with fresh charges, as police allege the killings were acts of domestic violence.

Police tonight confirmed Beau Lamarre-Condon, 29, had been charged with two counts of murder (DV), as well as break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence.

The charges, first reported by The Sydney Morning Herald, were laid on July 18 and the former senior constable remained in custody.

Lamarre-Condon allegedly shot Qantas flight attendant Davies and TV presenter Baird with his NSW Police service weapon at Baird's inner-city Paddington home on February 19 while he was off-duty.

Police allege the attack was premeditated after a months-long campaign of "predatory behaviour" targeting Baird, who he briefly dated.

The couple's disappearance sparked a major search when some of their possessions were found in a skip bin near a club in Cronulla.

Their bodies were found on February 27 – three days after Lamarre-Condon was first charged – inside surfboard bags on a rural property near Goulburn, about 200 kilometres south-west of Sydney.

NSW Police sacked the officer from the force in mid-March.

Speaking outside court last month, Lamarre-Condon's lawyer, John Walford, said it was too early to tell whether a mental health defence would be raised or whether the matter would go to trial.

The accused is due to face the Downing Centre Local Court on August 13 after an eight-week adjournment to give prosecutors time to finalise the charges.

It was believed the DV murder charges would eventually replace the existing murder charges.
