A shooting incident at the White House press dinner in Washington, D.C., has left a Secret Service agent injured and caused panic among attendees, including Donald and Melania Trump. The alleged shooter, Cole Tomas Allen, reportedly aimed at Trump administration officials, prompting urgent discussions on political violence and gun control in the United States. In Sydney, calls for an inquest into the death of Bikram Lama, a homeless man known as 'the birdman', have emerged after his body was found unattended for nearly a week. Meanwhile, Queensland's transition from coal-fired power has stalled following a change in government, raising concerns about energy policy. Additionally, experts are warning about the rise of 'cosmeticorexia', a fixation on skincare among children, which could have long-term implications for their mental health.
