| Good morning. Here's what's happening now: In Thailand, two bombs have exploaded in the tourist resort of Hua Hin. One person has been killed and about 12 have been injured. We're likely to hear more on this story throughout the morning Australia's medal tally in Rio has ticked over again. The latest additions are a silver in rowing as well as Jess Fox's bronze in the women's K1 canoe slalom final. There are plenty more medal hopes today. We're talking Mitch Larkin in the backstroke final as well as the women's 100m freestyle final featuring both Campbell sisters. Say no more, right? There are calls for the child abuse royal commission to expand its inquiry to include the alleged abuse of asylum seekers on Nauru. The calls come from the Human Rights Law Centre, the Council for International Development and the Australian Council of Social Service. The groups have sent legal advice to the commission that says "it can look at the response of the Australian Government" If you know a gamer, there may have been a time when you thought they appeared to live in another world.
