A man has been charged with manslaughter over the death of a four-year-old child in north-west Tasmania.

Hospital staff notified police after the child died in a Smithton hospital about 10.15pm on Friday, May 31.

Police have been investigating the child's death since.

"Last night a 35-year-old-man from North West Tasmania who was well known to the child was charged with manslaughter in relation to the matter," police said in a statement today.

"A 30-year-old woman from North West Tasmania who was well known to the child is also facing charges.

"She has been charged with ill-treating a child and has been bailed to appear in court at a later date."

The man has been held in custody to appear in an out-of-hours court session at the Burnie Magistrates Court this morning.

A motorcyclist was stabbed in the back during an alleged road rage altercation in inner Adelaide last night.

Emergency services were called to Main North Road at the Gepps Cross intersection in Blair Athol about 9pm after witnesses reported a "violent altercation" at the traffic lights between two occupants of a black VW Golf and the rider of a black Suzuki motorbike.

Police and paramedics arrived to find the rider of the motorbike, a 21-year-old Pooraka man, with a stab wound to his lower back.

He was taken to hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

The two occupants of the VW Golf fled the scene and the car was last seen travelling north on Port Wakefield Road.

Police have since spoken to the registered owner of the VW and have seized the vehicle for forensic examination.

The investigation is ongoing.

Police have labelled the fight as a road rage incident.

Anyone who witnessed the incident who has not yet spoken to police, or anyone with dash-cam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at www.crimestoppers.com.au or phone 1800 333 000.

Together, the collective age of the bride and groom was nearly 200.

But World War II veteran Harold Terens and his sweetheart Jeanne Swerlin proved that love is eternal as they tied the knot on Saturday inland of the D-Day beaches in Normandy, France.

Their respective ages — he's 100, she's a youngster of just 96 — made their nuptials an almost double-century celebration.

Terens called it ″the best day of my life.″

On her way into the nuptials, the bubbly bride-to-be said: "It's not just for young people, love, you know? We get butterflies. And we get a little action, also.″

The location was the elegant stone-worked town hall of Carentan, a key initial D-Day objective that saw ferocious fighting after the June 6, 1944, Allied landings that helped rid Europe of Adolf Hitler's tyranny.

Like other towns and villages across the Normandy coast where nearly 160,000 Allied troops came ashore under fire on five code-named beaches, it's an effervescent hub of remembrance and celebration on the 80th anniversary of the deeds and sacrifices of young men and women that day, festooned with flags and bunting and with veterans feted like rockstars.

As the swing of Glenn Miller and other period tunes rang out on the streets, well-wishers — some in WWII-period clothes — were already lined up a good hour before the wedding, behind barriers outside the town hall, with a rousing pipe and drum band also on hand to serenade the happy couple.

After both declaring "oui" to vows read by Carentan's mayor in English, the couple exchanged rings.

"With this ring, I thee wed," Terens said.

She giggled and gasped, "Really?"

With Champagne flutes in hand, they waved through an open window to the adoring crowds outside.

"To everybody's good health. And to peace in the world and the preservation of democracy all over the world and the end of the war in Ukraine and Gaza," Terens said as he and his bride then clinked glasses and drank.

The crowd yelled "la mariée!" – the bride! — to Swerlin, who wore a long flowing dress of vibrant pink.

Terens looked dapper in a light blue suit and matching pink kerchief in his breast pocket.

And they enjoyed a very special wedding-night party: They were invited to the state dinner at the Elysee Palace on Saturday night with President Emmanuel Macron and U.S. President Joe Biden.

"Congratulations to the newlyweds," Macron said, prompting cheers and a standing ovation from other guests during the toast praising French-American friendship. "(The town of) Carentan was happy to host your wedding, and us, your wedding dinner," he told the couple.

The wedding was symbolic, not binding in law.

Mayor Jean-Pierre Lhonneur's office said he wasn't empowered to wed foreigners who aren't residents of Carentan, and that the couple, who are both American, hadn't requested legally binding vows.

However, they could always complete those formalities back in Florida if they wished.

Lhonneur likes to say that Normandy is practically the 51st state of the USA, given its reverence and gratitude for Allied soldiers and the sacrifices of tens of thousands who never made it home from the Battle of Normandy.

"Love is eternal, yes, maybe," the mayor said, referring to the newlyweds, although his comments also fittingly describe the feelings of many Normans for veterans.

"I hope for them the best happiness together."

Dressed in a 1940s dress that belonged to her mother, Louise, and a red beret, 73-year-old Jane Ollier was among spectators who waited for a glimpse of the lovebirds. The couple, both widowed, grew up in New York City: she in Brooklyn, he in the Bronx.

"It's so touching to get married at that age,'' Ollier said. "If it can bring them happiness in the last years of their lives, that's fantastic."

The WWII veteran first visited France as a 20-year-old US Army Air Forces corporal shortly after D-Day.

Terens enlisted in 1942 and, after shipping to Britain, was attached to a four-pilot P-47 Thunderbolt fighter unit as their radio repair technician.

On D-Day, Terens helped repair planes returning from France so they could rejoin the battle. He said half his company's pilots died that day.

Terens himself went to France 12 days later, helping transport freshly captured Germans and just-freed American POWs to England. Following the Nazi surrender in May 1945, Terens again helped transport freed Allied prisoners to England before he shipped back to the US a month later.

Swerlin made it abundantly clear that her new centenarian husband doesn't lack for rizz.

"He's the greatest kisser ever, you know?" she proudly declared before they embraced enthusiastically for TV cameras.

"All right ! That's it for now !" Terens said as he came up for air.

To which she quickly quipped: "You mean there's more later?"

Israel on Saturday carried out its largest hostage rescue operation since the latest war with Hamas began, taking four to safety out of central Gaza amid the military's heavy air and ground assault.

At least 210 dead Palestinians, including children, were brought to local hospitals, a health official said.

Israelis were jubilant as the army said it freed Noa Argamani, 26; Almog Meir Jan, 22; Andrey Kozlov, 27; and Shlomi Ziv, 41, in a daytime operation in the heart of Nuseirat, raiding two locations at once while under fire.

All were well, the military said. They were taken by helicopter for medical checks and tearful reunions with loved ones after 246 days held.

Argamani had been one of the most widely recognised hostages after being taken, like the three others, from a music festival.

The video of her abduction showed her seated between two men on a motorcycle as she screamed, "Don't kill me!"

Her mother, Liora, has brain cancer and had released a video pleading to see her daughter.

Israel's Channel 13 said Argamani was moved to the hospital where her mother is treated.

In a message released by the government, Argamani told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu she was "very excited", saying she hadn't heard Hebrew in so long.

Netanyahu in a statement vowed to continue the fighting until all hostages are freed. The operation was "daring in nature, planned brilliantly, and executed in an extraordinary fashion", Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said.

Israeli aircraft hummed overhead as the bodies of 109 Palestinians including 23 children and 11 women were taken to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, where spokesperson Khalil Degran told The Associated Press more than 100 wounded also arrived.

He said that overall, 210 dead had been taken there and to Al-Awda Hospital, saying he had spoken to the director there. Al-Awda's numbers couldn't immediately be confirmed.

AP reporters saw dozens of bodies brought from the Nuseirat and Deir al-Balah areas, as smoke rose in the distance and armored vehicles rolled by.

A baby was among the dead. Small children wailed, covered in blood. Bodies were placed on the ground outside, their feet bare, as more wounded were rushed in.

"My two cousins were killed, and two other cousins were seriously injured. They did not commit any sin. They were sitting at home," one relative said in the chaos.

As Palestinians explored the newly destroyed buildings, a small child sat on a collapsed metal door, overwhelmed.

Neighbouring Egypt condemned "with the strongest terms" Israel's attacks on the Nuseirat refugee camp, with its foreign ministry calling it a "flagrant violation of all rules of international law". Neighbouring Jordan also condemned it.

"The bloodbath must end immediately," the European Union's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on the social platform X, noting reports of civilian deaths.

Israel's military said it had attacked "threats to our forces in the area," adding that one commando died from his wounds.

Israel's Channel 12 said the rescue force went into the heavily populated Nuseirat camp and burst into the two apartments where the hostages were, killing the captors.

One getaway vehicle was shot and they came under heavy fire. Additional forces moved in to rescue them, and Israel used heavy fire to get them out.

A US hostage cell provided advice and support throughout the process of locating and rescuing the hostages, according to a Biden administration official, who was not authorised to comment and requested anonymity.

The hostage cells are multi-agency teams.

Hamas took some 250 hostages during the October 7 attack that killed about 1200 people.

About half were released in a weeklong cease-fire in November.

About 120 hostages remain, with 43 pronounced dead. Survivors include about 15 women, two children under 5 and two men in their 80s.

Saturday's operation brought the total number of rescued hostages to seven. Two were freed in February and one was freed in the aftermath of the October attack. Israeli troops have recovered the bodies of at least 16 others, according to the government.

The latest rescue lifted some spirits in Israel as divisions deepen over the best way to bring hostages home. Many Israelis urge Netanyahu to embrace a cease-fire deal US President Joe Biden announced last month, but far-right allies threaten to collapse his government if he does.

Netanyahu, whose support has fallen, rushed to the hospital to greet the freed hostages. But thousands of Israelis again gathered on Saturday evening for the latest anti-government demonstration and calls for a cease-fire agreement.

"It's time to pay the price of a political deal. One deal that will bring them all back without risking soldiers," said Omri Shtivi, whose brother Idan marked his 29th birthday on Saturday while in captivity.

It was unclear what effect the rescue might have on apparently stalled cease-fire efforts. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will return to the Middle East next week, seeking a breakthrough.

"The hostage release and cease-fire deal that is now on the table would secure the release of all the remaining hostages together with security assurances for Israel and relief for the innocent civilians in Gaza," national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement.

International pressure is mounting on Israel to limit civilian bloodshed in its war in Gaza, which reached its eighth month on Friday with more than 36,700 Palestinians killed, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between fighters and civilians.

Palestinians also face widespread hunger because fighting and Israeli restrictions have largely cut off the flow of aid.

Meanwhile, Benny Gantz, a popular centrist member of Israel's three-member War Cabinet who had threatened to resign from the government if it didn't adopt a new plan by Saturday for the war in Gaza, postponed an expected announcement. Netanyahu urged him not to step down.

The wife of missing British doctor and television presenter, Michael Mosely, has spoken out of the family's hopes he will be found alive on the Greek Island of Symi.

Dr Clare Bailey Mosley released a statement saying the days since her husband was last seen have been "the longest and most unbearable" but the family "will not lose hope".

"It has been three days since Michael left the beach to go for a walk," she said in the statement.

"The longest and most unbearable days for myself and my children.

"The search is ongoing and our family are so incredibly grateful to the people of Symi, the Greek authorities and the British Consulate who are working tirelessly to help find Michael.

"We will not lose hope."

Dr Clare Bailey Mosley's statement comes as their four children travelled to Symi to join the search for their father.

CCTV footage emerged this morning of the last sighting of Mosley before he went missing on the small eastern Aegean island on Wednesday afternoon.

"We are very shocked and perplexed by what has happened to him," Mosley's brother Arthur told UK newspaper The Telegraph.

"We know as much as what the police and the media has reported, but we are closely following the situation, and hope that there's a good outcome," he said.

"Unfortunately, when you get to my age or his age, accidents like this can happen."

Greek police are undertaking a major search for Mosley who went missing after going for a walk.

The CCTV footage shows the doctor in the nearby village of Pedi just 20 minutes after he started his stroll from Agios Nikolaos beach in Symi.

He can be seen standing in the village's main street holding an umbrella.

Police said on Friday that the coast guard, police and fire department were involved in the search, with a helicopter, drones and a police sniffer dog deployed.

The search was called off at 8pm (local time) and will resume again on Saturday morning. 

They have found no trace of the 67-year-old who had been vacationing on the island.

The search was focusing on the area between Agios Nikolaos, the coastal area from where Mosely apparently set off on his walk, and the island's main town of Symi. Authorities had also looked into whether he might have left the island altogether, but found no indication that anyone had travelled under his name.

Britain's Foreign Office said it was in contact with Greek authorities over the search.

Mosley is well-known in Britain for his regular appearances on television and radio and for his column in the Daily Mail newspaper.

He is known outside the UK for his 2013 book The Fast Diet, which he co-authored with journalist Mimi Spencer. The "5:2 diet" set out how people can lose weight fast by minimising their calorie intake for two days in a week while eating healthily on the other five.

He has subsequently introduced the Fast 800 diet, a rapid weight loss program, and has made a number of films about diet and exercise.

Mosley has often pushed his body to extreme lengths to see the effects of his diets and also lived with tapeworms in his guts for six weeks for the BBC documentary Infested! Living With Parasites.

Worried friends and colleagues expressed their shock over Mosley's disappearance.

"This shocking news focusses our minds on Michael's wife Clare and their sons," said Roy Taylor, a professor of medicine and metabolism at Newcastle University who co-authored The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet with Mosley.

"Our thoughts are with them in this terrible time of uncertainty, hoping that he will be found safely."

In 2002, Mosley was nominated for an Emmy for his executive producer role on the BBC science documentary The Human Face, which was presented by Monty Python star John Cleese and which featured a raft of famous faces including Elizabeth Hurley, Pierce Brosnan and David Attenborough.

Mosley has four children with his wife Clare Bailey Mosley, who is also a doctor, author and health columnist.

Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has promised that if elected, the Coalition would scrap the Government's target of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 43 per cent before 2030.

The opposition leader would opt instead to prioritise gas and nuclear power to help Australia reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

The opposition's policy would see Australia breach its signature to the Paris Climate Agreement, and join Iran, Libya and Yemen as the only countries in the world not abiding by the treaty signed in 2015.

"Not being in the Paris Accord would mean being an international pariah, and an investment wasteland," Climate Minister Chris Bowen said.

While current projections show Australia falling short of the 43 per cent reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, Bowen insists it's still achievable.

"Every time you set a target, you set a challenge," he said.

"Of course we have to stay the course."

"They have no hope of achieving the targets and there's no sense signing up to targets you don't have any prospect of achieving," Dutton said today in an interview in The Australian.

Both parties would still aim to reach carbon neutrality by 2050, but the Opposition wants nuclear energy to make up the shortfall in Australia's power generation.

"The only way that Australia will achieve net zero is with nuclear in the mix," Shadow Environment Minister Ted O'Brien said.

The proposal to abandon the emissions target has been heavily criticised by conservation groups.

"It is reckless beyond imagination, to say that they are not going to be working to reduce emissions this decade," Kelly O'Shanassy from the Australian Conservation Foundation said.

Dutton's pledge set the course for an election battle on energy policy, with two vastly different plans for the future.

Police are searching for a man who attacked a female runner near Brisbane.

The woman was running around the Maculata Track at Mount Coot-Tha yesterday afternoon when she was pushed to the ground and held down by a man.

The attacker then fled when he heard footsteps of approaching people.

The man was described as being 170 cm tall and having dark brown hair.

This is the second incident where an attack on a woman has been reported on Mount Coot-Tha in the past month.

In a statement, Queensland Police said investigators didn't believe the two incidents were linked.

Police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
