Detective Inspector Wayne Francis told the media this afternoon that the man appeared to have suffered a "brutal and violent" attack.

"At this stage of investigation, whilst in these early stages, we believe that the victim was on foot prior to the attack," he said.

A 45-year-old man was taken into custody in relation to other matters near the scene and is assisting police with inquiries.

Francis said police are working to determine whether the two men knew each other.

"It is an active line of investigation for us to compare that event, for which he was taken into custody for, as well as the [alleged] murder investigation," he said.

A large number of police are patrolling Manly West today as they appeal to the public for CCTV or dashcam footage around the area between 12am to 3am today.

This includes vision of anyone walking along Trevally Crescent, Radford Road and Miles Crescent.

"Whilst you might not think it shows anything, it could be very compelling for us," Francis said.

Police are trying to contact the man's family as investigations continue.

Judge: “Even by older standards, this type of discipline was out of order.”

A shot was fired at the man by police and dogs deployed: he is now in hospital.

Mining tycoon Clive Palmer is escalating his case against the Australian government to Switzerland's highest court after an international tribunal rejected his claim of being a foreign investor and ordered him to pay $13.6 million.

Palmer is attempting to challenge Western Australian legislation that was rushed through to block him from claiming about $30 billion in damages in 2020 over a decision to reject his proposed Balmoral South iron ore project in Pilbara – a sum which officials said would have bankrupted the state.

After an unsuccessful bid in the High Court, a Singaporean investment company owned by Palmer brought the matter before the Permanent Court of Arbitration, an intergovernmental organisation.

The case argued breaches against the Asean-Australian-New Zealand free trade agreement.

Foreign investors have the right to claim compensation for law or policy changes that reduce future profits in an international tribunal.

Palmer is an Australian citizen.

He is also the fifth richest in the country with a net wealth of $20.12 billion, according to the Australian Financial Review.

Attorney-General Michelle Rowland said the tribunal unanimously rejected the case yesterday, saying it had no jurisdiction over the dispute, and ordered Palmer to pay the Commonwealth's costs of $13.6 million.

"Mr Palmer is not a 'foreign investor' and is not entitled to any benefits under Australia's free trade and investment agreements," she said in a statement.

"I am pleased that the Tribunal has accepted Australia's arguments and rejected Mr Palmer's claim.

"Australia should never have had to spend two years and over $13 million defending an investor-state claim brought by an Australian national."

Rowland said she hoped Palmer would withdraw his remaining three international claims against Australia, while Premier Roger Cook said he hoped the decision would "finally close the book on this long-running saga".

But a day later, the billionaire launched a new case in Switzerland. 

Palmer has announced that he will be challenging the international tribunal's decision in Switzerland's Federal Supreme Court. 

He said this was the "next step in the journey to achieve justice in the matter, hopeful of the final arbiter taking an opposite view to that of the tribunal".

The driver allegedly drove onto the footpath and on the wrong side of the road, and the chase was terminated due to safety concerns.

A short time later, the man was tracked down to a shopping centre in Booragoon, where the man abandoned the vehicle and disposed of a duffel bag.

The duffel bag was later found to have a sawn-off rifle with ammunition, a homemade taser and a pocket knife.

The United Nations reimposed nuclear sanctions on Iran today, putting new pressure on Tehran's ailing economy as tensions remain high in the wider Mideast over the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi offered a last-ditch effort to try to halt the sanctions at the UN General Assembly met this week in New York.

Efforts by China and Russia to stop the sanctions failed as well.

The clock started when France, Germany and the United Kingdom on August 28 declared Iran wasn’t complying with its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

Here's a timeline of the tensions over Iran's atomic program:

Early days

1967 — Iran takes possession of its Tehran Research Reactor under America’s “Atoms for Peace” program.

1979 — US ally Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, fatally ill, flees Iran as popular protests against him surge.

Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returns to Tehran and the Islamic Revolution sweeps him to power.

Students seize the United States Embassy in Tehran, beginning the 444-day hostage crisis.

Iran’s nuclear program goes fallow under international pressure.

August 2002 — Western intelligence services and an Iranian opposition group reveal Iran’s secret Natanz nuclear enrichment facility.

June 2003 — Britain, France and Germany engage Iran in nuclear negotiations.

October 2003 — Iran suspends uranium enrichment under international pressure.

February 2006 — Iran announces it will restart uranium enrichment following the election of hard-line president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Britain, France and Germany walk out of stalled negotiations.

June 2009 — Iran’s disputed presidential election sees Ahmadinejad reelected despite fraud allegations, sparking protests known as the Green Movement and a violent government crackdown.

The nuclear deal collapses

May 8, 2018 — Trump unilaterally withdraws the US from the nuclear agreement, calling it the “worst deal ever".

He says he’ll get better terms in new negotiations to stop Iran’s missile development and support for regional militias.

May 8, 2019 — Iran announces it will begin backing away from the accord.

A series of regional attacks on land and at sea blamed on Tehran follow.

January 8, 2020 — In retaliation for Soleimani’s killing, Iran launches a barrage of missiles at military bases in Iraq that are home to thousands of American and Iraqi troops.

More than 100 US service members suffer traumatic brain injuries, according to the Pentagon.

As Iran braces for a counterattack, the Revolutionary Guard shoots down a Ukrainian passenger plane shortly after takeoff from Tehran’s international airport, reportedly mistaking it for a US cruise missile.

All 176 people on board are killed.

The Australian Parachute Federation (APF) has confirmed eight skydivers had successfully landed prior to a plane crash that killed a pilot in southern NSW yesterday.

The Pilatus Porter plane was returning from a skydiving run in Moruya, 305 kilometres south of Sydney, when it crashed close to Moruya Airport in bushland west of George Bass Drive.

Pilot Paul Smith, 54, was the only occupant on board and died in the crash.

In a statement, APF chief executive Stephen Porter said his thoughts were with the friends and family of the pilot, as well as the passengers who disembarked from the plane before the crash.

"This is incredibly distressing and our thoughts and hearts are with everyone at the scene, the pilot's family and friends, and the entire skydiving community which is in shock," he said.

"We thank all of the first responders and emergency services."

He also confirmed the federation was cooperating with authorities, with the Australian Transport Safety Board (ATSB) confirming it is investigating the incident.

"The ATSB is deploying a team of transport safety investigators from its Canberra and Brisbane offices, specialising in aircraft operations, maintenance and engineering, to the accident site," an ATSB statement said.

"Investigators will also seek to interview involved parties and witnesses, and collect relevant recorded information including flight tracking data, pilot and aircraft maintenance records, and weather information."

Anyone with video of the aircraft during or immediately after the flight is being urged to contact investigators.

In the Canadian wilderness, First Nations are taking the lead in conservation tourism.

President Donald Trump said that he will send troops to Portland, "authorising Full Force, if necessary" to handle "domestic terrorists" as he expands his deployments to more American cities.

Oregon Democratic Governor Tina Kotek responded by saying Trump is abusing his authority by ordering troops into a city that she said is doing "just fine" on its own.

She was joined by other government, police and business leaders who all said soldiers are not needed and Trump is presenting a patently false picture of the city.

Trump made his announcement on social media, writing that he was directing the Department of Defense to "provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland."

Trump said the decision was necessary to protect US Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he alleged are "under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists."

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for details on Trump's announcement, such as a timeline for the deployment or what troops would be involved.

Governor says troops not needed

In an afternoon news conference, Kotek said she directly told Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem earlier in the day that troops are not needed and she believes he does not have the authority to deploy the military there.

"We can manage our own local public safety needs. There is no insurrection. There is no threat to national security," Kotek told reporters.

The governor said she "tried to understand his reasoning" during their conversation and his response was just, "Let's keep talking."

"This is an American city. We do not need any intervention," Mayor Keith Wilson said at the news conference. "This is not a military target."

Kotek said the president did not give a timetable for troops arriving. She said she told him the Oregon National Guard is not needed and she does not plan to call it up.

Trump, however, previously deployed guard soldiers and active duty Marines in Los Angeles even though California Governor Gavin Newsom opposed it. The federal government is appealing a judge's ruling that Trump's use of the guard was illegal.

Kotek urged the public to stay calm, saying any kind of property damage or violence will not be tolerated.

"Let's not take the bait," she said. "Let's not respond to what the president is trying to do."

Residents ask, 'Where's the emergency?'

Earlier on, there was no sign of any federal presence downtown, where people jogged along the Willamette River, relaxed by a riverside fountain or rode bikes on a sunny fall day.

"Where's the emergency?" asked resident Allen Schmertzler, 72, who said he was "disgusted" by the president's decision.

Another, John McNeur, 74, called Trump's statement "ridiculous." He pointed out that he was taking "a leisurely stroll" along the river on a peaceful, sunny day.

"This place is not a city that's out of control," he said. "It's just a beautiful place."

Trump has also named Chicago and Memphis

Trump previously threatened to send the National Guard into Chicago but has yet to follow through. A deployment in Memphis, Tennessee, is expected soon and will include only about 150 troops, far less than were sent to the District of Columbia for Trump's crackdown on crime or to Los Angeles in response to immigration protests that turned violent with the troops' arrival.

In Memphis, about 80 to 100 people marched to a plaza in front of City Hall to protest the expected arrival next week of the guard and more than a dozen federal law enforcement agencies, ranging from immigration to drug enforcement.

Protesters held signs with messages such as "Resources Not Task Forces" and "Memphis don't need no occupation, Memphis don't need no government control" — a play on the Pink Floyd song "Another Brick in the Wall."

Speakers said beforehand that instead of federal troops and agents, Memphis needs more funding for education, crime prevention, youth services and hospitals. The Oregon officials made similar comments.

Few details from the Pentagon

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the Department of Defence would provide information and updates when available.

"We stand ready to mobilise U.S. military personnel in support of DHS operations in Portland at the President's direction," Parnell said.

A spokesperson for the Oregon National Guard, Lt. Col. Stephen Bomar, said via email that "no official requests have been received at this time" for Guard support. "Any requests would need to be coordinated through the Governor's office," he added.

Oregon's congressional delegation, with the exception of GOP Representative Cliff Bentz, demanded that the Trump administration keep federal agents and troops out of Portland.

"This unilateral action represents an abuse of executive authority, seeks to incite violence, and undermines the constitutional balance of power between the federal government and states," the Democratic lawmakers wrote in a letter to Trump, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and Noem.

Protests in Portland

Portland, population 636,000, was the site of long-running and sometimes violent racial justice protests following George Floyd's killing by Minneapolis police in 2020. The Trump administration sent hundreds of agents, including from the U.S. Border Patrol, for the stated purpose of protecting the federal courthouse and other federal property from vandalism.

Recent demonstrations have been far more muted and focused on the area around the ICE building. It's located outside downtown, which was the heart of the 2020 protests. Its main entrance and ground-floor windows have been boarded up and were previously tagged with graffiti.

Some federal agents have been injured and several protesters have been charged with assault. Some demonstrators also say they been injured. When protesters erected a prop guillotine earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security called it "unhinged behavior."

Police Chief Bob Day said at the news conference that his agency does not participate in immigration enforcement. He said afterward that Federal Protective Services is responsible for the ICE building and police would intervene only against vandalism or criminal activity in the surrounding area.

The city said this month that it would issue a land use violation notice to its ICE building because it was used to detain people overnight or for more than 12 hours — violations of its conditional land use approval. DHS said detainees are briefly processed before being sent to other detention facilities.

Portland is one of a number of so-called sanctuary cities. There is no strict definition for sanctuary cities, but the term generally describes places that limit cooperation with ICE.

Portland officials stress the city's recovery

City groups and officials have sought to highlight the recovery of the downtown area since 2020.

This summer was reportedly the busiest for pedestrian traffic since before the pandemic, and overall violent crime from January through June decreased by 17 per cent compared with the same period in 2024, a recent report from the Major Cities Chiefs Association found. The downtown has seen a decrease in homeless encampments.

Since the September 10 assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Trump has escalated efforts to confront what he calls the "radical left," which he blames for political violence.

"We're going to get out there and we're going to do a pretty big number on those people in Portland," Trump said last week in the Oval Office. He called such people "professional agitators and anarchists."
