The new drones shifting Ukraine war into era of round-the-clock terror
Annika Burgess, Jack Fisher, Thomas Brettell and Mark Doman A new level of horror is unfolding over the skies of Ukraine. Waves of new jet-powered Russian drones are screaming towards cities at hundreds of kilometres per hour, slamming into bridges and buildings in broad daylight. They fly faster, higher and are harder to shoot down than previous models, and Ukraine's defences are struggling to keep up.

How Israel has redrawn the map since the October 7 terrorist attack
|
After years of war and widespread upheaval, one corner of the Middle East has fundamentally changed. Tens of thousands of people have been killed, and many multiples more injured and displaced. The devastating chain of events has resulted in the map of the region being redrawn, mostly shaped by the decisions of one country and enforcement by its military. The Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, killed around 1,200 people and resulted in 251 people being taken hostage.

Nepal flash flood buries villages after earth-shattering glacier break
the Climate Team's Romy Stephens, Nathan Morris, Tim Leslie, Alex Lim and Mark Doman. Buildings, bridges and trucks look like toys, swept up in the gigantic mud wave, cascading down Nepal's Bhote Koshi River. The magnitude of the flooding, burying entire villages in its path, beggars belief. Climate scientists have been warning that the Himalayas are warming faster than the rest of the world, increasing the chances of a disaster of this scale.
Nepal flash flood buries villages after earth-shattering glacier break
Buildings, bridges and trucks look like toys, swept up in the gigantic mud wave, cascading down Nepal's Bhote Koshi River. The magnitude of the flooding, burying entire villages in its path, beggars belief. Climate scientists have been warning that the Himalayas are warming faster than the rest of the world, increasing the chances of a disaster of this scale. The source of the ice avalanche appears to be a glacier more than 5,000 metres up in the Langtang Himal mountain range.
As Trump's reflecting pool mess unfolded, a camera captured it all
Mark Doman, Thomas Brettell, Jack Fisher and Katia Shatoba With the surface coated in American flag blue and water once more flowing into Washington DC's reflecting pool, US President Donald Trump fired off a self-congratulatory post online. "All work is complete!" he declared on social media on June 6. "Thank you President Trump." The 618-metre-long landmark connecting the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument had long been plagued with problems including leaking, sinking and algal blooms.
As the US marks freedom from a king, Donald Trump makes Washington DC his own
Washington DC is a city designed to be experienced in a certain way. The position of the sandstone White House, the cast-iron-domed Capitol building and the towering Washington Memorial were set out by an architect who wrote to George Washington, explaining he was designing a very grand city. Now, the capital is steeped in symbolism and meaning.
In the Strait of Hormuz, Iran unleashes a plot against the West years in the making
When Donald Trump bombed Iran's nuclear facilities last year, he set in motion a plan the "thinkers" inside the Iranian regime had long been devising. It's now in play and it all comes down to a stretch of water that, at its narrowest point, is little more than 30 kilometres wide. The Strait of Hormuz connects many of the Middle East's oil and commodity producers to the rest of the world. For Persian Gulf nations, their wares must make their way to the Arabian Sea via the narrow stretch of water.
Satellite images show destruction at huge oil refinery, Iranian nuclear facility
Newly released satellite imagery shows the aftermath of an Iranian drone attack targeting one of the world's largest oil refineries. The Ras Tanura refinery — owned by oil giant Saudi Aramco — was temporarily closed while authorities dealt with the emergency. The country's defence ministry told state television that two drones were intercepted over the refinery and debris caused a fire.

Satellite images from Iran show destroyed buildings, impact craters, submerged ships
Satellite imagery is giving the world some insight into the scale of destruction inside Iran and across the region after a weekend of heavy military bombardments by the US, Israel and Iran. Iranian military facilities have been heavily targeted by the US and Israel, with the strikes appearing to have caused significant damage. Imagery released by Planet Labs shows the aftermath of weekend strikes at Tabriz missile base in Iran's north-west.
Satellite images show extent of destruction where Iran's supreme leader was killed
High-definition satellite imagery shows the massive destruction caused by the bombing of the compound of Iran's supreme leader in the heart of Tehran. US President Donald Trump declared Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had been killed in the assault by Israel and the United States. Iranian state media has confirmed the leader's death. Imagery released by Airbus shows Leadership House, the secure compound of the supreme leader, to be almost unrecognisable compared with previous days.
Visual clues show the US could be getting closer to attacking Iran
The steady flow of military assets moving towards Europe and the Middle East appears to be a warning that the US could be ready to attack Iran. This visualisation shows the movement of some US military aircraft flying from North America to air bases in Europe and the Middle East from January 13 until February 10. The data from tracking website Flightradar24 shows the movement of two heavy transport aircraft — the Lockheed C-5M Super Galaxy and the Boeing C-17A Globemaster III.

Hundreds of satellite images capture Victoria's destructive bushfires erupting
Hundreds of images captured by an orbiting weather satellite, and stitched together by the ABC, show the scale and destructive force of the Victorian bushfires. More than 400,000 hectares of land has been burnt, hundreds of structures destroyed and one person killed when extreme heat and high winds fuelled catastrophic fire conditions.
Bondi Beach terrorist attack: How two men unleashed horror on a celebration of joy and light
A father and son have unleashed terror on Sydney's Jewish community and devastated a nation after they pulled up to Bondi Beach, climbed out of their small silver car and opened fire. The two shooters have been identified as 50-year-old Sajid Akram and his son Naveed Akram, aged 24. The men were heavily armed and obviously knew guns. With ammunition strapped to his waist, Naveed Akram was videoed firing, reloading and firing again. In the lead up to the attack, the men had been away from home.

Maps reveal the Ukraine regions Vladimir Putin does not hold, but wants anyway
Members of Donald Trump's negotiating team have been in Kyiv, Geneva, Miami and Abu Dhabi recently, trying to secure a peace deal between Ukraine and its Russian invaders. Those efforts are expected to continue this week as Trump's special envoy Steven Witkoff heads to Moscow to talk some more. An American proposal kicked off the fresh round of negotiations just more than a week ago, but it was quickly slammed by critics as favouring Russia.
As Donald Trump's plan for Gaza gets UN approval, development proposals are circulating
This is a plan for the future of Gaza. This is not part of Donald Trump's riviera vision, but from a proposal originally devised by Egypt and endorsed by a coalition of Arab states. This plan models what might be possible in Gaza, suggesting tourist villages could one day line the coast. There could be an airport complete with duty free shops, according to the document.

Satellite images show razed buildings, armoured vehicles moving into Gaza City
Israeli troops are moving closer and closer to the heart of Gaza City, razing rows of buildings and converting tent cities into front lines, an ABC News analysis of satellite images shows. In images captured on September 27 and 28, ABC News counted an estimated 260 either military or construction vehicles in and around Gaza City. That figure likely underestimates the full extent as vehicles can be obscured by buildings, shadows, cloud cover and the extent of the satellite images.
'Huge' leak from gas plant kept secret from public in 'national scandal'
At the heart of the project that heralded northern Australia's gas boom — Darwin's first liquefied natural gas plant — was a storage tank that operators hailed as a major feat of engineering. Likened to a "giant esky" standing 48 metres high by 92 metres wide, it was reportedly the world's largest above-ground tank when it came online in 2006. Gas bubbles soon appeared in mud near the tank, but its operator ConocoPhillips said it had found the leak and the emissions were "minute".
Israel wants to take Gaza City. IDF orders show Palestinians have nowhere left to go
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intend to launch a new ground offensive on Gaza City in what an army boss has called a turning point in the war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the assault to take control of the city will happen "fairly soon", but military officials have warned it will take weeks to evacuate the population there.
Unlocking secrets hidden inside the world's most precious specimens
It was a coup, years in the making. After lengthy negotiations, the custodians of the 13 youngest preserved Tasmanian tigers in existence had all agreed for their specimens to be studied by a team of scientists in Melbourne. Nine from museums across Australia and four from Charles University in Prague, which had been in the institution's zoology department for more than a century but had only recently been rediscovered. It was incredibly rare for these preserved creatures to leave their museums.
NSW weather power outages: Latest updates on blackouts
Thousands of homes remain without power across coastal areas of New South Wales as powerful winds and heavy rain batter the region. The ABC is collecting unplanned power outage data from NSW electricity distributors Ausgrid and Essential Energy to monitor the situation.
Satellite images show impact craters, building damage at Iranian nuclear sites
New satellite imagery shows US stealth bombers appear to have targeted a vulnerable spot in one of Iran's key nuclear sites, buried deep in a mountain. Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, located near the city of Qom, is a once-secret facility that has recently been enriching uranium to levels high above the minimum needed for civilian use. "If your goal is to eliminate [Iran's] nuclear program, you have to eliminate Fordow," one expert told ABC NEWS Verify.
The US has bombed Iran's Fordow nuclear bunker. This is what we know about Iran's uranium enrichment facility
US President Donald Trump has announced American bombers have attacked Iran's heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility, as well as two other nuclear sites in Iran. "The US military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan," he said in a televised address from the White House. "I can report to the world the strikes were a spectacular military success.
Inside Iran's Fordow nuclear bunker experts say only US weapons can destroy
Deep below a mountain in Iran sits a once-secret uranium enrichment facility which now threatens to drag the United States into the Israel-Iran conflict. There is one bomb – a so-called "bunker-buster" – which may be able to reach and destroy the facility. But there is only one country in the world which could drop it. This is the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, located near the city of Qom. Aerial imagery shows the facility nestled in a mountain.
Los Angeles Police Department and the protest that shifted from peaceful to 'unlawful'
The day had been peaceful. As 30,000 people marched through Los Angeles as part of the nationwide No Kings protests, the streets were busy with children, families, their pet dogs, medics and people giving out water and snacks. But as protests across the country wound down, the one in Los Angeles changed shape. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass made the point the large morning demonstrations were "overwhelmingly peaceful".
The Iron Dome, David's Sling and Arrow: Israel's air defences visualised
When the air-raid sirens blare, Israelis scramble for cover. But as hundreds of drones and missiles come flying towards the country, residents put their trust in the country’s multi-layered air defence system to protect them. The Iron Dome is the signature component of Israel's defence armoury. With a reported 90 per cent success rate, it is considered the envy of militaries around the world. The system has saved countless civilian lives over various conflicts in the last decade, analysts say.
As Russian planes burned, Putin's military bloggers were 'choking with hurt'
Some members of Vladimir Putin's online army think Ukraine's drone attack on Russian air bases was their Pearl Harbor. Others are in denial about the damage now visible on satellite imagery. And then there are the online accounts that have been boldly outspoken and willing to question, even blame, the Russian establishment for not protecting the country's prized strategic bomber fleet. "When I watched the video of our planes burning, everything inside me was burning.
This 3D model reveals the scale of sand swallowed by 'monster' cyclone swell
Sand dunes are often the first line of defence when powerful storms — like the one Cyclone Alfred delivered — batter our coastline. Years of built-up sand provide a natural buffer between coastal infrastructure and the elements. That natural defensive line, stretching from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland to Coffs Harbour in NSW, has been on show over the past week. Massive swell whipped up by the cyclone pummelled the coastline, shifting millions of cubic metres of sand back out into the ocean.
The view from space of Cyclone Alfred nearing Queensland, NSW coastlines
Satellite images show Cyclone Alfred's steady advance towards the south-eastern Queensland and northern NSW coastlines. The images in the animation below were captured by the Japanese weather satellite, Himawari-9. The sequence begins on Saturday, March 1 at 10am (AEST). The most recent image is from: 14:00 AEST on Friday, March 7. We will continue to update the images over the coming days. Have you been affected by Cyclone Alfred? We want to hear your story.
Satellite images show Tropical Cyclone Alfred bearing down on Queensland coast
Weather satellites have captured the formation and movements of Tropical Cyclone Alfred as it approaches Queensland's south eastern coastline. The geostationary weather satellite Himawari-9 is centred on Japan but it also captures Australia and its surrounding oceans making it a valuable service for monitoring weather patterns. It captures an image every 10 minutes and ABC News has stitched together hundreds of these captures from the last few days to track the movements of the weather system.
Alt-right media, Secret Service and that orange vest. Explore the faces in the crowd at one of Trump's final rallies
A Donald Trump rally has the atmosphere of a music festival. The hype songs and their baselines pump through the sound system and rattle the press pen. There's merchandise, long lines and a lot of waiting around. It's not always easy for foreign press to get media accreditation for these rallies, but in this last run-up to the election in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I was in the media pack as Donald Trump donned a high-vis vest and took to the stage.

Six days, 10 states, 24 stops and counting. We track Harris and Trump as they race to Tuesday
The election that is expected to cost more than any other in the United States' history is just days away, and Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have been blitzing the battleground states. Harris kicked off the week in Pennsylvania, while Trump started it in New York — the place that made him a billionaire and a felon but has never voted to make him president. Both candidates have been crisscrossing the nation — Harris in Air Force Two, Trump in Trump Force One.
Inside the Iron Dome, the invisible shield protecting Israeli cities
First, the air-raid sirens blare. The "iron boom" comes next – the familiar sound of Israel's air defence system in action as interceptor missiles take out rockets in mid-air. For Niva, who lives in a town in Israel's Haifa District, the boom signals safety. "In general, there is trust in the Iron Dome's ability to protect us," she said. Imagine an invisible shield that covers an entire mid-sized city, about double the size of Hobart, Tasmania's capital.
As the PM's 'clifftop' home raises eyebrows, explore the property portfolios of all federal politicians
The revelation that Anthony Albanese had purchased a $4.3 million slice of "clifftop perfection" on the NSW Central Coast set tongues wagging. Not only because the listing made it sound like something out of Grand Designs, replete with "mesmerising ocean views" and "timber-lined cathedral ceilings" — perfect fodder for the national pastime of property stickybeaking.
Supermarkets under pressure to act as investigation finds 16,000 hectares of forest bulldozed on beef farms
There's one industry that destroys more forests than any other — beef. Forests around the world are cleared to make way for cattle destined for your dinner plate. And Australia is no different. More than half the continent is used for grazing livestock. And most deforestation happens on Australian cattle farms. Now, there is a global push to end deforestation through regulation, consumer action and corporate accountability.

AustralianSuper accused of greenwashing by investing funds from ethical option in coal, oil and gas industries
Australia's largest super fund has invested money from its 'Socially Aware' option in the coal, oil and gas industries, despite excluding investments in shares and corporate bonds of companies with fossil fuel reserves. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission raised concerns with AustralianSuper about the wording of its policies but said it did not find evidence of the fund misleading its members.
This 3D model offers clues into the view the Secret Service had of the Trump shooting suspect
As the FBI continues its investigation into the shooting at the rally of former US president Donald Trump, urgent reviews of the security surrounding the event are in motion. Just how 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks managed to get onto a building with a rifle, relatively close and with a clear view of Trump is one of the key questions being asked of the Secret Service. Another is why buildings less than 150 metres from the former president were not secured.
How ethical retirement savings are being invested in the world's most destructive weapons
As war rages in Ukraine and the Middle East, weapons manufacturers are watching their profits and share prices soar. Australia's big institutions, including universities and local governments, are under pressure to dump their investments in these companies and ignore the attractive returns on offer. Superannuation funds have long been ahead of the pack, offering members "ethical" or "socially aware" branded investment options that promise to shun the weapons industry.
Trudi was in coma for weeks. Doctors continued to bill for consultations with her

A major investigation into the chronic pain industry has uncovered how Australia's healthcare system is being left open to financial exploitation by medical practitioners. Trudi King is always in pain. "The only relief you get is when you go to sleep," the 60-year-old says. In 2021, she had spinal fusion surgery at a private hospital in Sydney after struggling with back pain for four years. "All I wanted was to live a pain-free life," she says. When she woke up, she couldn't feel her feet.

Jumana's desperate journey shows how more than half of Gaza fell into a state of ruin
Posted 7 minutes ago, updated 4 minutes ago Every red square on this map of Gaza represents buildings that have likely been damaged or destroyed in the Israel-Gaza war since October 7. Five months in, satellite data shows around 54 per cent of Gaza's buildings are in a state of ruin. The heaviest concentration of destruction is here in Gaza City. What the data doesn't show you, is that under every cell there's a human story.

Horror stories of multiple paedophiles at Beaumaris Primary barely scratch surface of statewide crisis, survivors say
One survivor has called it "mind-boggling" and "beyond belief". A lawyer for victims says it was "calculated" and "covered up, just like in the Catholic Church". And on Monday, a small but important step was taken in addressing the Victorian Department of Education's historical child sexual abuse crisis. After six months examining decades of crimes against students in state-run schools, the government-initiated inquiry leading the investigation delivered its findings to the Victorian governor.
Among the destroyed buildings and missile craters, thousands of tents line the streets of Rafah
A square metre of space in Rafah becomes room for one more tent, one more shelter for the more than a million people desperately seeking safety there. Tents sit on nature strips, on roundabouts, on footpaths. Makeshift structures spread out from the city in orderly lines across the landscape. Recent satellite images capture the search for shelter in Rafah in stark detail.
