This news bulletin covers major events from around the world. Hamas releases Israeli hostages, a heatwave in Australia fuels wildfires, a medical plane crashes in Philadelphia, President Trump implements tariffs on key trading partners, and Australia clinches a historic whitewash in the Women's Ashes.
Hamas has released three Israel i hostages in exchange for 183 Palestinian prisoners, including 18 serving life sentences. Israel i medical officials say the hostages, Keith Siegel, Yarden Bibas, and Ofer Kalderon, are receiving medical care and have been reunited with their families. This comes as the Rafah crossing, a vital route for humanitarian aid into Gaza, is reopening for medical evacuations for the first time since May.
Meanwhile, in Australia, severe heatwave conditions in Victoria are making it difficult for firefighters to contain blazes in the Grampians region. David Nugent, Park Victoria's director of fire, environment, land and water, says the dry conditions present a major challenge, and authorities are employing back-burning operations to reduce fuel loads and slow the spread of the fires.Tragically, a medical transport plane crashed in Philadelphia shortly after takeoff, killing all six people on board, including a child returning to Mexico for treatment. There has also been one death and 19 injuries on the ground. US President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has stated that he is not concerned about inflation impacts from new tariffs set to come into effect on Mexico, Canada, and China.These tariffs, aimed at pressuring these countries into greater cooperation on stopping illegal immigration and fentanyl smuggling, carry both political and economic risks for Trump. While he expects the tariffs to boost domestic manufacturing and revenue, there are concerns they could trigger higher prices and disrupt key sectors.In women's cricket, Australia has achieved a historic whitewash in the Women's Ashes, defeating England by an innings and 122 runs in the day-night Test at the MCG. This is the first whitewash in the multi-format era and marks the worst ever overseas tour for England Women.
