Police say a witness was approached and allegedly threatened on May 12.

The charity has rehomed about 18,000 farming canines over the last decade.

The alleged mastermind of the 2002 Bali bombings will face trial in Guantanamo Bay in September, about 22 years after he was captured.

Encep Nurjaman, also known as Hambali, was the alleged leader of the Indonesian terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah — the Southeast Asian affiliate of Al-Qaeda.

The group were responsible for the 2002 bombings of nightclubs in Bali, which killed 202 people including 88 Australians, and the 2003 bombing of the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Jakarta, which killed 12 people.

Nurjaman and two other men were arrested in Thailand in 2003 before being held in a secret CIA prison network for three years.

The trio were transferred to Guantanamo Bay in 2006.

The US Department of Defence has announced pre-trial proceedings for Nurjaman will take place over two weeks from September 8.

A military commission will conduct proceedings at the Expeditionary Legal Complex in the Naval Station Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

Nurjaman is facing a series of serious charges, which were laid by the US in 2021.

The US Department of Defence said these included "conspiracy, murder, attempted murder, intentionally causing serious bodily injury, terrorism, attacking civilians, attacking civilian objects, destruction of property, and accessory after the fact, all in violation of the law of war".

The two men arrested alongside Nurjaman, Mohammed Nazir Bin Lep and Mohammed Farik Bin Amin, reached a plea agreement last year.

The pair pleaded guilty and testified against Nurjaman.

The US Department of Defence announced that they will be sent to Malaysia to spend another five years in prison. 

According to the UN Security Council, Nurjaman has a "long track record" of involvement in terrorist activities and first met the founders of Jemaah Islamiyah in the 1980s.

He then reportedly travelled to Afghanistan to train and fight with several Al-Qaeda leaders, including Osama bin Laden, before returning to Indonesia in the early 1990s.

He had been wanted by authorities in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the US.

Three words keep appearing under social media posts about US President Donald Trump's controversial military parade, though on first glance they make no sense.

"Foxtrot Delta Tango" is the phrase that has been making the rounds online in the last few days, confusing plenty of Australians who aren't familiar with the military-inspired slang that has become popular in the US.

Here's what it means and why it's being used as a political statement.

What does Foxtrot Delta Tango mean?

The phrase "Foxtrot Delta Tango" is currently being used by people in the US and abroad to express the sentiment "f— Donald Trump", without being explicit.

Foxtrot, Delta and Tango are all code words in the NATO phonetic alphabet, used to communicate the letters of the Roman alphabet.

They represent the letters F, D and T respectively, so "Foxtrot Delta Tango" stands for FDT.

Where did the phrase Foxtrot Delta Tango originate?

It is unclear where the phrase originated, as "Foxtrot Delta Tango" may have many other meanings outside expressing opposition to the US president.

Recently, it has circulated broadly on social media platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), making its origins hard to pin down.

Is Foxtrot Delta Tango an official military term?

Though the NATO phonetic alphabet is widely used in the US and other militaries, Foxtrot Delta Tango isn't an official military term nor is it used exclusively by military personnel.

Military slang using phonetic codes isn't new and many such slang phrases have become common outside the military, such as "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot", which stands for WTF or "what the f—".

Why is Foxtrot Delta Tango used as a political statement?

Opposition to Trump isn't new and people in the US and abroad have been making political statements against the commander-in-chief since before his first stint in the Oval Office.

The phrase Foxtrot Delta Tango may have seen increased use lately in response to Trump's involvement in and promotion of the US Army's 250th anniversary parade last Saturday.

The massive and controversial parade coincided with Trump's 79th birthday celebrations, a detail that drew criticism from some US military personnel.

At the same time, massive "No Kings" demonstrations were held across the US to protest the president and his military parade.

A motorcyclist overtook a car and struck Paige Johnson on a pedestrian crossing.

There’s no cap on the new visa, with up to 10,000 applications expected per year.

Nearly 10 million Australians will get an automatic boost to their super from July 1, a change that will mean thousands of dollars more in retirement savings, according to the Super Members Council.

The super funds peak body said the superannuation guarantee rate would on that day rise from 11.5 per cent to 12 per cent, meaning an extra $317 in super for the average Australian worker in the 2025-2026 financial year.

Young Australians and low-income earners will be the biggest winners.

The SMC said the increase could see a "typical" 30-year-old retire with an extra $22,000 in super.

And together with the full increase from nine per cent to 12 per cent in the past decade, it could add up to $132,000 in extra super by retirement.

More than half of the people getting the increase are under 40 years old – and more people in their 30s will get a boost to their retirement savings than any other age bracket.

Almost a third of the people getting the increase earn less than $50,000 per year and about 70 per cent of those getting the increase earn less than $100,000 a year.

The average West Australian will get an extra $344 this year, the highest average super boost of the States.

The lowest average gain will be seen in Tasmania, at $284.

Super Members Council CEO Misha Schubert said the super rate increases were key to delivering a good life in retirement.

"This boost to retirement savings will help fund the things that matter most – more help with paying the bills, spending time and making memories with the family, trips away and financial security," she said.

"When you know that a 30-year-old today will be more than $130,000 better off in retirement, it underlines why the safeguards that protect super for retirement are so important for all Australians."

The father of a Melbourne teenager who was fatally poisoned by tainted alcohol in Laos has vowed to stop the backpacker hostel at the centre of the tragedy from reopening under a different name.

Melbourne teenagers Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles, both aged 19, died alongside four other tourists after they sustained methanol poisoning from drinks served on a night out in the party town of Vang Vieng.

All six people who died were staying at the Nana Backpacker Hostel.

The hostel closed following the deaths, however it is understood Nana Backpacker Hostel now plans to accept guests under the new name of Vang Vieng Central Backpacker Hostel.

It's available for bookings online and is reportedly advertising free shots at the venue, Ben Fordham reported today on 2GB.

Holly's heartbroken father Shaun told Fordham he is going to do everything in his power to stop the hostel from opening up to travellers again.

"The potential of this happening to someone else is very real because obviously they haven't changed their ways," Shaun said.

"We're gonna put our heads together with some people and we're gonna do everything we can to make sure that that place doesn't reopen, because it's just not right.

"To have no justice and to find out that they're going to reopen the backpackers… it's just the worst news."

Shaun said there has been nothing but "radio silence" from the local government in Laos regarding the investigation into the six deaths.

He said he doesn't believe the Laos officials have taken the deaths seriously.

"They tell us that it's sitting with the prosecutors but… we can't even get a meeting with the Laos ambassador to Australia in Canberra to ask some questions and to find out some answers," he added.

This week will be Holly's birthday, the first the Bowles family will mark without their beloved daughter.

Shaun told Fordham the news of the backpacker hostel's plans to reopen has added to their already "unfathomable" pain.

 "We remember her so fondly," he added.

"Someone needs to be held accountable."

Online listings for Vang Vieng Central Backpacker Hostel are available to view online through sites such as TripAdvisor.

Travellers staying in the area reported to BBC that construction work was underway at the address.

Last month, families of the victims were also left enraged after discovering the former manager of Nana Backpacker hostel had opened up a luxury resort just 450 metres up the road.

9News spoke to the former manager of Nana Backpacker, known as Pikachu, who confirmed his connection to the 4-star hotel in the heart of Vang Vieng's party district.

The revelations were yet another blow for the Australian families and their search for justice.

"As parents of Holly and Bianca we are angered at the recent news from Laos," the families said in a joint statement.

"We are disappointed in the Australian government as we are again the last to know."

Iran's state media studios have been bombed by Israel in a missile barrage that was caught live on air.

The studio, based in Tehran, was airing a live television program when the bombs dropped, with loud bangs heard off camera.

A female presenter, addressing the camera, quickly flees from the desk as debris starts falling from the roof and the frame begins shaking.

Videos circulating on social media show the Iranian state TV building, known as "the glass building," is still burning.

Following the attack, live programs have been transferred to another studio that resembles those used for radio broadcasts.

Israel launched airstrikes and drones at Iran throughout the day, while Iran fired a pre-dawn wave of missiles at Israel that killed at least eight people.

The tit-for-tat attacks between Israel and Iran began when Israel attacked Iran over Tehran's nuclear program, and have raised fears of a wider, more dangerous regional war.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Monday that the strikes have set Iran's nuclear program back "years."

He added that Israel is not attempting to topple the Iranian government, but he said he would not be surprised if that happened as a result of the strikes.

He also said he is in daily touch with US President Donald Trump.

Israel says more missiles from Iran are on their way

The military said defence systems were operating to intercept the missiles. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

In an Israeli city hit by missile fire, many support attacking Iran.

While no opinion polls have been released since Israel launched a surprise attack Friday, much of the Israeli public seems to be lining up behind the operation in these early days.

As they surveyed the damage and moved to hotels or the homes of loved ones, some Petah Tikva residents said Israel must keep up its attacks to survive.

One woman said four of her neighbours were killed and much of her apartment was destroyed.

Miryam, who spoke to AP on condition that her last name not be used because she serves in the military, called it the scariest thing she's experienced.

"But the right thing is to attack Iran; I don't want them to have this power over us," she said.

The Trump Organisation is licensing the Trump name for a new wireless mobile phone service that is being marketed to the president's supporters and puts the brand in competition with major US carriers such as AT&T and Verizon and smartphone makers such as Apple and Samsung.

"A big part of what we've done … has been focused on technology for people who have been underserved, whether that's been in crypto or anything else, but one of the places where we felt there was lackluster performance was in the mobile industry," Donald Trump Jnr said at an event at Trump Tower in New York.

A website for the project advertises a $US47.45 a month plan, an apparent reference to President Donald Trump's terms as the 47th and 45th president of the United States.

The Trumps emphasised the new mobile company's focus on American-made devices — a gold-hued "T1" smartphone was available for pre-order Monday for $499 — and US-based services.

"You're not calling up call centres in Bangladesh," Eric Trump told Fox Business. "You're doing it right out of St Louis, Missouri."

"With Trump Mobile, we're going to be introducing an entire package of products," Trump Junior said, including telemedicine, roadside assistance and unlimited texting.

The announcement, timed to coincide with the 10-year anniversary of the day Donald Trump took the golden escalator down to announce his 2016 presidential run, marks the latest expansion of the Trump family business into tech, cryptocurrencies and media.

The vast and growing scale of the Trump family businesses — which include long-held real estate and casino holdings along with more recent forays into digital finance and branded items — has deepened concerns about the president's willingness to flout ethical conventions while in office.

The White House has repeatedly denied any suggestion of impropriety.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt has previously said it was "ridiculous" that anyone would suggest Trump is "doing anything for his own benefit" and that the White House holds itself to the "highest of ethical standards".

The Trump Organisation is the main holding company for President Trump's private businesses, and it is run by his eldest sons, Eric and Donald Jr.

The mobile service will work with all three major wireless carriers, the Trump Organisation said.
