ABC NewsMail - Morning Edition

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

Europe's Rosetta spacecraft has spotted its tiny washing machine-sized lander Philae that was thought to be lost forever. Philae had a rough landing in 2014, and bounced several times before landing in a shadowy ditch, outside of the Sun's battery-replenishing rays

Here's what's coming up:

  • 10:30am AEST: The Royal Commission into the Don Dale Youth Detention Centre will hold a directions hearing

  • 2:00pm AEST: A man who used his five-year-old nephew to sell drugs will be sentenced in New South Wales

  • 2:30pm AEST: The Reserve Bank will meet to decide on interest rates
