ABC NewsMail - Morning Edition

Good morning. Here's what's happening now:

  • New South Wales police have charged a 16-year-old boy with planning a terrorist act allegedly linked to Anzac commemorations. He is due to face a children's court later today. Australian Federal Police state manager Commander Chris Sheehan said online grooming tactics used to radicalise young people were similar to those used by sexual predators

  • Meanwhile, NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione has encouraged everyone to observe Anzac Day without fear. Most dawn services are now complete and marches will be held across the country in coming hours. You can follow updates on our live blog

  • Nine Network reporter Michael Usher has admitted "we made mistakes" during the botched child recovery operation in Lebanon, saying "it was a failure which ended very badly for everyone involved". Mother Sally Faulkner, who had to give up full custody rights to her two eldest children, said she was numb after returning to Australia without them

Australian Story has revisited Nicola and Jim Walker, who ten years ago made the controversial decision to fall pregnant and harvest stem cells from the baby's umbilical cord. The cells are in storage in case their daughter Abby, who was diagnosed with leukaemia, ever relapses and needs a transplant

Here's what's coming up:

  • 9:00am AEST: Service men and women from Australia's largest army base, in Townsville, will take part in the march to Anzac Park

  • 2:00pm AEST: An Anzac Day dawn service will be held in London

  • 2:00pm AEST: Newcastle v Manly in the NRL

  • 3:20pm AEST: The AFL Anzac Day match between Collingwood and Essendon will be held at the MCG

  • 4:00pm AEST: St George Illawarra v Sydney Roosters in the NRL

  • 8:00pm: Australian Story will revisit Nicola and Jim Walker

  • 8:30pm: Some of Australia's most senior doctors will speak out on Four Corners about the poor quality of medical care in offshore detention centres
