After the lavish open-air ceremony that kick off the Games, the Paris closing show takes place at the Stade de France in the northern suburb of Saint-Denis.

Authorities have evacuated the Eiffel Tower after a man was seen climbing the Paris landmark hours before the Olympics closing ceremony.

The shirtless man was seen scaling the 330-metre-tall tower on Sunday afternoon (late on Sunday Night AEST).

It's unclear where he began his ascent, but he was spotted just above the Olympic rings adorning the second section of the monument, just above the first viewing deck.

Police escorted visitors away from the area about 3pm (11pm AEST).

Some visitors who were briefly locked on the second floor were allowed to exit around 30 minutes later.

The Eiffel Tower was a centrepiece of the opening ceremony, with Celine Dion serenading the city from one of its viewing areas.

The tower is not expected to be part of the closing ceremony, which was set to begin at Stade de France in the Saint-Denis area about 9pm (5am on Monday AEST).

More than 30,000 police officers have been deployed around Paris and beyond to watch over the last Olympic events and the closing ceremony Sunday.

France's Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said about 3,000 police officers will be mobilized around the Stade de France, and 20,000 police troops and other security personnel in Paris and the Saint-Denis area will be mobilised late into Sunday night to ensure safety on the last day of the Olympics.

A father will sue one of the nation's top healthcare providers after his son went to hospital with an ulcer and never came home. 

Darren Tyson, from Mildura in north-west Victoria, alleges Ramsay Health Care, which operates all over Australia, failed to properly manage his son's condition. 

Charles Tyson went to hospital with an ulcer on his foot several years ago and was meant to be home within days.

"They rang us at 4.30am on Wednesday morning and told us that he'd passed away," Darren Tyson said.

The night before his expected discharge the 33-year-old took a turn for the worse and died.

His family allege Ramsay Health, which was managing Mildura Hospital at the time, is to blame.

"The people that have obviously made huge mistakes need to be brought to task," Charles' brother Zack Tyson said.

"They are highly trained, supposedly highly educated and highly paid."

The family claimed despite their insistence, Charles – who was on dialysis at the time – was taken off crucial medication he needed to survive and that medical records proved treatment of the ulcer wound was mismanaged.

"I wasn't heard, nobody cared what we had to say," Charles' mother Julie Tyson said.

"There's a reporting of when his toes were removed that the infection improved. It's very, very clear in the coroner's report he had 10 fingers and 10 toes," his father Darren Tyson said.

The family plans to launch legal action against Ramsay Health.

"We have not finished and we will never finish and we will take this where it needs to be taken," his father said.

Ramsay Health Care said the matter had already been dealt with three years ago through a coronial hearing.

"In 2021, the Coroner considered all aspects of care provided to the patient, including concerns raised by his family, and ultimately determined that there were no adverse findings or recommendations against Mildura Base Hospital," a spokesperson said.

Even though the hospital is now under public management, it is also under fire.

9News has obtained a dossier of complaints from community members fed up with service they claim is substandard.

Jenna Doeke is furious at the hospital, claiming doctors failed to recognise her baby daughter Pixie was in heart failure.

She said it was something that was only picked up when she arrived at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.

"She said, 'This is actually very serious, your baby is very sick'," Doeke said.

"I said to her, 'Is she going to make it?' and she said 'I don't know'."

The hospital disputes her claims and insists she was updated throughout the ordeal.

It has also implemented 17 recommendations to improve its procedures in the wake of Charles Tyson's death.

But his family said it was not enough and Charles' case needed re-examination.

"He'll never get to be there for our funerals, we did his instead," his father said.

"We need justice for Charles."

Australia's athletes are continuing to set new world records even outside the Olympics.

Two professional free divers held their breaths on the Gold Coast today to walk more than 100 metres underwater.

Amber Bourke made her second world record attempt with a crowd of support poolside.

"I had a go at it last year and got pretty close to the record, so this year I thought I'd make it official," Bourke said.

The goal was to walk underwater for more than 110 metres.

Even for professionals, the sport isn't for the fainthearted but the Brisbane athlete's training paid off in the end.

Chris Ellem was thrown into deep end as he made the made the male attempt for the record, stretching three minutes and 40 seconds and smashing the world record by seven metres.

"I only knew about four weeks ago," Ellem said.

The almost superhuman performances were deserving of a celebration.

"I'm going to have a beer," Bourke said.

US President Joe Biden's age has been the focus of much attention in recent times, but how does he compare to other world leaders?

Susan Tait has been making furniture in Thomastown in Melbourne's north for 32 years. 

Every year, she and her husband were sending 500 kilograms of wasted fabric to landfill.

"Someone said that's the size of a one-year-old elephant," joked Tait. 

"We've always tried to be as sustainable as possible while manufacturing locally."

"But we didn't really have any solution for fabric."

That changed in January 2023 when Tait found after.

She was hunting for a solution online when she stumbled across 'Australia's first textile recycling pick-up and reward service.'

"That was a really big peace of mind for us."

"The girls have managed to partner with enough people so you can actually just send the entire upholstery cover to them including zips, buttons, tags, every part."

Those girls are Yesha Patel and Nehal Jain, who teamed up in 2022 after Yesha became frustrated with the lack of options she had to recycle old, unwearable clothes.

"As someone who used to buy a lot of fast fashion, I had a lot of clothes in my wardrobe that were quite unwearable."

"It felt wrong to send them to an op shop because they were really worn out."

"I didn't know what to do with them and I felt lost. I went online but there was hardly anything there; especially things that I could do as a consumer."

Australians buy more clothes per person than any other country in the world.

The average Australian will buy 56 new items of clothing every year. As a country, we throw out 300,000 tonnes of clothing. 

A total of 200,000 tonnes of that is going to landfill. The other 100,000 tonnes are being sent overseas to countries that do not have the facilities or expertise to properly recycle textiles. 

"We don't have – any at scale – recycling infrastructure that does fibre to fibre [in Australia]," Patel said. 

"We're big on keeping textiles at their highest possible value. We don't want to turn it into insulation, we want to recycle it into new yarn and that's what we cannot do right now in Australia." 

Since launching with a five-kilometre limit in the middle of a COVID-19 lockdown, after has expanded its collection service across metro Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland and diverted more than 11 tonnes of textile waste from landfill. 

Mum of two, Elly Ackland, was one of their first customers after finding the start-up via a local Facebook group. 

"I really liked the idea of knowing that stuff which I couldn't use anymore – and that I didn't think anybody else would really want to use – could actually be dealt with properly and not just not just go off to landfill; which just makes me feel sick, quite frankly," said Elly.

"I wear things until they fall to bits. I hate overconsumption.

"I'm prepared to pay a small amount – it's not a lot of money – if it's going to guarantee that this is getting done properly. That's something that I'm prepared to invest in."

After charges $20 to collect five kilograms of textile waste from your front door. 

The team schedules monthly collections and the more you recycle, the cheaper it gets.

"Recycling is not free so cost has definitely been a challenge for us," explains Yesha.   

The bigger challenge, she explains, is a lack of Australian expertise in turning textile waste into yarn that can be reused. 

"We are relying on people in India, because they have access to more labour, infrastructure and the global market for recycled products," she said.

"It's not ideal because of transportation there, but our goal is to really interact and learn from what they're doing."

"If it's got life in it, if it's still good enough to wear or if an item can still be repaired, don't give it to us.

"[Wvery] household and individual has old towels or bedding they put in the bin, or kids that grow out of clothes that have been torn or worn out. That's where we are here to help."

The team at after have been calling for the Australian government to do more in tackling the problem and invest in options to recycle textiles locally. 

Unlike France, which has introduced a $16 tax on fast fashion, Australia has opted for a voluntary, four cent tax which retailers are not obligated to pay.

All of that money will go to Seamless; a not-for-profit organisation pushing for a circular fashion economy by 2030. 

Tait believes that customers are already driving that change. 

"We're also seeing fabric houses creating new fabric from recycled yarn, and we're also seeing a great interest from the market – people requesting it and willing to pay a little bit more for it."

"That's really satisfying."

"It's not only something we are passionate about, but it's exciting to see it become good business."

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will hold an urgent meeting with ministers and top law enforcement officials as he seeks to end days of street violence and attacks on hotels housing asylum seekers, which he has described as thuggery.

Lawlessness has swept the country over the past six days as right-wing activists used social media to spread misinformation to whip up anger over a stabbing rampage at a dance class that left three girls dead and many more wounded.

False rumours spread online that the suspect was a Muslim and an immigrant, leading to attacks on immigrants and Muslims.

On Sunday, angry mobs attacked two hotels used to house asylum seekers, breaking windows and lighting fires before police dispersed the crowds and residents were evacuated.

During Monday's meeting of the government's emergency response committee, known as Cobra, police chiefs and government ministers are expected to develop a response to ensure there is no repeat of the violence.

"As Keir said, as every decent person has said, I think these are far-right thugs who attacked some of the most vulnerable people in our communities and there is absolutely no excuse," Oliver Coppard, the mayor of South Yorkshire, told the BBC.

"There can never be any excuse for trying to burn to death 200 of the most vulnerable people in our community."

The Home Office, which is responsible for law and order, has offered mosques greater protection under a new "rapid response process" designed to quickly tackle the threat of further attacks on places of worship.

Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned and fled the country amid widening unrest, military officials have confirmed, ending 15 years in power.

Thousands of anti-government protesters defied a military curfew and stormed her official residence in the capital of Dhaka on Monday, following weeks of violent demonstrations and clashes with security forces.

Shortly after local media showed the embattled leader boarding a military helicopter with her sister, Bangladesh's military chief Gen. Waker-uz-Zaman announced plans to seek the president's guidance on forming interim government.

He promised that the military would stand down, and to launch an investigation into the deadly crackdowns that fuelled outrage against the government, and asked citizens for time to restore peace.

"Keep faith in the military, we will investigate all the killings and punish the responsible," he said.

"I have ordered that no army and police will indulge in any kind of firing."

"Now, the students' duty is to stay calm and help us," he added.

The protests began peacefully in late June, as students sought an end to a quota system for government jobs, but turned violent after clashes between protesters and police and pro-government activists at Dhaka University.

The government attempted to quell the violence with force, leaving nearly 300 people dead and fueling further outrage and calls for Hasina to step down.

At least 95 people, including at least 14 police officers, died in clashes in the capital on Sunday, according to the country's leading Bengali-language daily newspaper, Prothom Alo. Hundreds more were injured in the violence.

At least 11,000 people have been arrested in recent weeks. The unrest has also resulted in the closure of schools and universities across the country, and authorities at one point imposed a shoot-on-sight curfew.

Over the weekend, protesters called for a "non-cooperation" effort, urging people not to pay taxes or utility bills and not to show up for work on Sunday, a working day in Bangladesh. Offices, banks and factories opened, but commuters in Dhaka and other cities faced challenges getting to their jobs.

Hasina offered to talk with student leaders on Saturday, but a co-ordinator refused and announced a one-point demand for her resignation.

Hasina repeated her pledges to investigate the deaths and punish those responsible for the violence. She said she was ready to sit down whenever the protesters want.

Authorities shut off mobile internet on Sunday in an attempt to quell the unrest, while the broadband internet was cut off briefly on Monday morning. It was the second internet blackout in the country after the protests turned deadly in July.

On Monday, after three hours of suspension of broadband services, both broadband and mobile internet returned.

Hasina had said protesters who engaged in "sabotage" and destruction were no longer students but criminals, and she said the people should deal with them with iron hands.

The 76-year-old was elected for a fourth consecutive term in a January vote that was boycotted by her main opponents, triggering questions over how free and fair the vote was.

Thousands of opposition members were jailed in the lead-up to the polls, which the government defended as democratically held.

Today, she is the longest-serving leader in the history of Bangladesh, a predominantly Muslim nation of over 160 million people strategically located between India and Myanmar.

Her political opponents have previously accused her of growing increasingly autocratic and called her a threat to the country's democracy, and many now say the unrest is a result of her authoritarian streak and hunger for control at all costs.
