ABC NewsMail - Morning Edition

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

  • Donald Trump's first reaction to the Women's March events held across the US was: "Why didn't these people vote?" The US President was more conciliatory about 90 minutes later, tweeting that he recognised "the rights of people to express their views"

  • There's growing pressure for a review of bail laws in Victoria after Friday's car rampage through Melbourne's CBD, which killed five people and left dozens injured

  • A community-based support service to prevent Indigenous suicides is getting a $10 million funding boost, as the Federal Government begins to roll it out across Australia

Bruce Springsteen, who kicked off his latest Australian tour last night, says his band will form part of the "resistance" against the new US President — but accepts some of his traditional fans would have supported Mr Trump.

Here's what's coming up:

  • 7:45am AEDT: Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews will hold a press conference, where he's expected to make an announcement about the state's bail laws

  • 10:00am AEDT: The NSW Liberal party room will meet to vote on its new leadership team. Gladys Berejiklian is expected to become the new Premier

  • Noon AEDT: Samsung to announce findings of Galaxy Note7 investigations

  • 5:30pm AEDT: A memorial service will be held at Melbourne's Federation Square for the victims of the Bourke Street attack
