ABC NewsMail - Morning Edition

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

  • Donald Trump has reportedly won enough delegates to clinch the Republican presidential nomination. He won the support of 15 delegates from North Dakota and US media reports he now has the backing of 1,238 delegates, one more than the 1,237 required

  • Indigenous leader Noel Pearson has labelled the troubled North Queensland community of Aurukun "the Afghanistan of teaching" after 20 teachers were forced to flee for the second time this month. Mr Pearson said the disruption to children's education from the recent unrest would be a "grave impost on them"

  • Telstra has won a $220 million Federal Government contract to build and operate a National Cancer Screening Register. The five year contract will see the creation of a digital register for cervical and bowel cancer, but health and privacy experts are concerned about the security of the data

Scientists have discovered what they think may be the fifth force of nature. The Hungarian Academy of Science's Institute for Nuclear Research was looking for evidence of dark photons, but in doing so may have discovered the new force. Current mathematical models of the universe do not explain how the four known forces interact, and scientists say the fifth force would go some way to explaining the discrepancy

Here's what's coming up:

  • 10:00am AEST Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission hearings into allegations of brutality at the Ballarat Police Station continue

  • 6:00pm AEST: Barack Obama will become the first sitting US President to visit Hiroshima since the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945. The White House has ruled out an apology for the bombings

  • 7:30pm AEST: Reconciliation Week will be launched in Melbourne. This year's theme is "Our History, Our Story"
