| | | | Chinese President Xi Jinping's face was pasted on billboards ahead of last weekend's APEC summit in Papua New Guinea. So how did he end up getting upstaged? | | | | For 120 years, it was a successful mining engineering business, riding the highs and lows. But an aggressive move into a new form of technology, the solar industry, burned RCR Tomlinson and left it in administration. | | | | A carpenter offered to help a 19-year-old woman who got into a car crash. He then allegedly made sexual advances and followed her before indecently assaulting her. | | | | The knifing of Malcolm Turnbull by Liberal Party insurgents earlier this year will not affect the Coalition's chances in today's Victorian election, says Liberal leader Matthew Guy, as he and Labor's Daniel Andrew make last minute pitches to become premier. | | | | The Victorian Government is tipped to be re-elected today, but it's under threat from the both the left and the right. This election is not a simple Labor vs Coalition contest, writes state political reporter Richard Willingham. | | | | In response to a spate of scooter crimes in London — including bag snatching and mobile phone theft — Scotland Yard releases a video showing officers shunting riders off their bikes, even at high speed, in a bid to deter would-be criminals. | | | | A man is killed and another critically injured after a helicopter crashes into a river bed about 125 kilometres north east of Alice Springs. | | | | It's that time of year when blue-tongued lizards are out and about, and while they're spotted in many backyards across south-eastern Australia, they have some traits you may not be aware of. | | | | In the 48 hours before Damian Maxfield was released from custody and stabbed a sleeping stranger to death, he threatened to kill two women, had a handgun seized from his home and resisted arrest. Now the family of his victim wants answers. | | | | A few years ago, we heard that processed meat was carcinogenic to humans, and red meat probably was too. Then it was "very hot" drinks (but not coffee specifically) — and the list of cancer-causing substances goes on. But what does it all really mean? | | | | The "exquisitely preserved" remains of a new species of reptile named Gordodon — after the Spanish and Greek words for fat and tooth — are found in the US, pushing back our understanding of a form of herbivory by 100 million years. | | | | After sharing her story with the ABC this week, a leading school graduate who was destined to miss out on university because of her asylum seeker status says she has now been inundated with offers of support. | | | | A bitter cab driver rivalry and an unsolved crime are threatening the sanctuary of an Arnhem Land oasis. | | | | The $6.7 billion China Stone thermal coal mine, planned to sit alongside Adani's proposed operation, is a step closer after gaining approval from Queensland's coordinator-general, but conservationists are not happy. | | | | A recent rash of fatal light aircraft crashes in far west New South Wales has led a former commercial airline pilot to call for more rigorous training for bush pilots. | | | | Residents are hoping the construction of a nine-metre-high, 130-kilometre-long wall along the Blue Line that separates Israel and Lebanon will ensure their safety — but problems persist. | | | | Indigenous rangers in Western Australia's Kimberley region capture the second-known photo of the elusive and mysterious night parrot in the Great Sandy Desert in just over a year. | | | | As California's wildfires recede and Americans on the east coast rebuild after two hurricanes, a new federal report — which contradicts President Donald Trump — warns these types of extreme weather disasters are worsening in the US. | | | | Days after an advertising campaign and subsequent social media messages sparked claims of racism in China, the Italian fashion house's co-founders release a video expressing their contrition to Chinese fans. | | | | Handed three life sentences earlier this month for what a judge described as the "worst category of murder", what led Allan O'Connor to kill his ex-partner and two others? | | | | Shifting the culture that fuels domestic violence will take generations, experts say. Until then, one strategy for stamping it out is men's behaviour change programs. But do they work? ABC News was allowed inside one to find out. | |  |
