Israeli strikes on a hospital in southern Gaza has killed four journalists, including a freelancer who worked for The Associated Press, according to health officials.

Mariam Dagga, 33, a visual journalist, freelanced for the AP during the war, as well as other news outlets. The AP said in a statement that it was shocked and saddened to learn of Dagga's death on Monday, along with those of other journalists.

Two missiles hit Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, medical officials said. In all, 19 people were killed. In all, 19 people were killed in the strike on Nasser Hospital, according to Zaher al-Waheidi, head of the Gaza Health Ministry's records department.

The Israel-Hamas war has been one of the bloodiest conflicts for media workers, with at least 192 journalists killed in Gaza in the 22-month conflict, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Comparatively, 18 journalists have been killed so far in Russia's war in Ukraine, according to the CPJ.

Dagga, who has a 13-year-old son who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war, frequently based herself at Nasser, most recently reporting on the hospital's doctors struggling to save children from starvation. Independent Arabia, the Arabic language version of the British Independent, said Daqqa had also worked with them.

"We are doing everything we can to keep our journalists in Gaza safe as they continue to provide crucial eyewitness reporting in difficult and dangerous conditions," the AP said.

Al Jazeera confirmed that its journalist Mohammed Salam was also among those who were killed in the Nasser strike. Reuters reported that its contractor cameraman Hussam al-Masri was killed and its contractor photographer Hatem Khaled wounded. It was not immediately clear who the fourth journalist killed was.

The Israeli military said its troops carried out a strike in the area of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis and that it would conduct an investigation into the incident. The military said it "regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals and does not target journalists as such".

Thibaut Bruttin, the director general of Reporters Without Borders, said press freedom advocates had never seen such a severe step backward for reporters' safety. He noted that journalists have been killed both in indiscriminate strikes and in targeted attacks that Israel's military has acknowledged carrying out.

"They are doing everything they can to silence independent voices that are trying to report on Gaza," Bruttin said.

In some cases, such as with Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, who was targeted and killed by Israel earlier this month, Israel has accused journalists in Gaza of being part of militant groups. Israel's military asserted that al-Sharif had led a Hamas cell — an allegation that Al Jazeera and al-Sharif previously dismissed as baseless.

Aside from rare guided tours, Israel has barred international media from covering the war. News organisations instead rely largely on Palestinian journalists in Gaza — as well as residents — to show the world what is happening there. Israel often questions the affiliations and biases of Palestinian journalists but doesn't permit others in.

Many of the journalists working in Gaza are facing the same struggles to find food, for themselves and their families, as the people they are covering.

In one of Dagga's last social media posts on Sunday, she published a selfie of herself leaning against a wall.

Mushroom murderer Erin Patterson lives a restricted life behind bars, with limited outside access and is only permitted to speak to a terrorist who has harmed other inmates.

Patterson's life inside Dame Phyllis Frost since her arrest in November 2023 was aired to the Supreme Court in Melbourne as her lawyers fought for her to be handed a non-parole period.

Patterson is a "keen crocheter" and inside her cell she has access to wool, a hair straightener, books, magazines, television and a computer, the court was told on Monday.

She has been housed in protective isolation for much of that time, spending about 22 to 24 hours per day alone in her cell, because of the "notoriety" of her offending, barrister Colin Mandy SC told the court.

Corrections Victoria assistant commissioner Jenny Hosking was called by prosecutors to discuss Patterson's conditions behind bars.

She said short staffing at the women's prison, because of inmate numbers dropping over the COVID-19 pandemic, had led to more lockdowns which restricted movement for inmates.

Patterson, 50, has a small courtyard attached to her cell, but Mandy said she had not been given regular access to it.

He said prison officers had approved Patterson's access to speak to a fellow prisoner in the courtyard, through a mesh fence, but she had not spoken "one word to that other prisoner".

Mandy said the prisoner was serving a sentence for terrorism and had attacked another inmate while in custody.

"There has been no request by Ms Patterson for access to that person," he said.

The inmate is believed to be "Tiny Terrorist" Momena Shoma, who is serving a four-decade prison term and stabbed a fellow inmate with a pair of gardening shears in 2020.

Mandy claimed she had only been given access to the prison library "a handful of times" and had to be taken there in a prison van escorted by two guards, where she is given 20 minutes to be inside.

He said she had tried to go to the leisure centre, but each time she visited it had been locked and her access to her unit's lounge area had been minimal.

Hosking said Patterson's high profile and details of her offending meant her safety was at risk, but her placement in the protective unit would be continually reviewed.

But Mandy argued her placement in isolation was permanent because the "notoriety of these offences is not likely to diminish".

A crime scene has been established, and a report will be prepared for the coroner.

Homicide Squad detectives were called in to help investigate what police deemed a suspicious death. 

The 26-year-old was denied bail to face Bail Division Local Court 6 tomorrow.

Preparations are under way for the Royal Adelaide Show, with organisers expecting 400,000 people to descend on Wayville. 

The show will feature the Skyflyer XXL, a ride which, at a height of 60 metres, is so tall it required approval from aviation authorities. 

"I think you're going to be able to see Glenelg from the top of this tower right here at Wayville," Jamie Pickett from Skyflyer XXL said.

"It's actually the biggest touring ride in Australia at the moment."

The ride, almost double the height of the Ferris wheel, is scheduled to be assembled with a specialist crane. 

Alongside the new attraction, showgoers can expect classic show experiences, including an increased presence of Bluey-themed attractions.

Despite challenging conditions for producers, the show will feature a 14 per cent increase in agricultural competitors. 

"It's a record for the last couple of years," Jordan Philp from the Royal Adelaide Show said. 

"But what we know is our farmers are really keen… to get back to the city and reconnect with people that they haven't seen in a long time."

In the lead-up to the opening, an estimated 10,000 staff and volunteers are working to prepare the Wayville showgrounds. 

The Country Women's Association (CWA) is providing meals for staff and volunteers. 

"We give as much of a homely atmosphere as we can," Evelyn Dyer from the CWA said. 

"And we give all home-cooked meals… and it's just lovely to have that service for people."

Attendees have been advised to plan their travel arrangements in advance. 

Due to partial tramline closures, buses will replace tram services. 

Shuttle services will operate from designated city UParks, offering a special parking rate of $8.

An earthquake rattled hundreds of homes in the Adelaide Hills and surrounding regions last night, with one resident saying it felt like a bomb had gone off.

The tremor in Strathalbyn late last night, which registered 2.8 on the Richter scale, was felt widely, with reports coming from as far away as Meninge and Angle Vale. 

Geoscience Australia received over 1000 reports regarding the event.

Residents in Strathalbyn were preparing for sleep when the ground began to shake. 

"I didn't see anything but I felt… I thought it was a bomb (going) off. I wasn't sure what it was," local resident Robert Westley said.

Another resident, Peter Fergusson, described the experience, saying, "the house rumbled and shook and we've got an old bluestone so it must have been pretty deep and pretty high".

"These smaller earthquakes tend to present as kind of a loud bang or a deep sort of rumble," Johnathan Bathgate of Geoscience Australia said.

While last night's earthquake was minor, South Australia has experienced more significant seismic events in the past. 

The state's most severe earthquake occurred in 1954, resulting in millions of dollars in damage. 

"That was certainly one of the most significant earthquakes to occur in a populated centre in Australian recent history," Bathgate said.

The federal government hopes a new cash payment program will help apprentices finish their qualifications rather than being lured away by high-paid unskilled jobs.

The initiative comes after an increase in young tradies leaving their apprenticeships for higher-paying jobs, crushing efforts to boost the national construction workforce amidst the current skill shortage and housing crisis.

"We need 40 trades to build a home, and we know every single trade is in shortage," Master Builders Australia chief executive Denita Wawn said.

Last year, 24,335 young Australians completed a construction apprenticeship, but, 30,470 withdrew or abandoned their apprenticeship before finishing.

The government's new program hopes to curb this trend, offering $10,000 in payments, delivered in $2000 installments on top of wages for apprentices.

Since July, 1291 construction apprentices have been approved for the program, with carpenters, electricians, and plumbers making up most of the approvals, and Victoria leading the way.

"These incentives are just part of the ways in which we'll encourage more people to start apprenticeships and be supported to finish them," Minister for Skills and Training, Andrew Giles said.
