Horrific air strike by military jets and helicopters this morning on the village of Pa Zi Gyi in Sagaing. It was crowded as they were opening a pro-NUG local admin office. Video posted by locals too awful to upload here but they say at least 53 dead, including women & children.

Read the remarkable story of Songmi Park - a teenage North Korean escapee.

She was on a quest to find her mother who had left her behind as a child more than a decade earlier.

She was one of the last people to make it out before the borders closed.

Homophobia in sport is a global problem but Australia seems particularly reluctant to address it, @erikdenison tells the BBC in the wake of the Manly jersey saga.

"(There’s) a lack of care… and a lack of honesty about themselves."

Australia has long been considered a "big brother" by many small Pacific nations, but its approach in recent times has been tearing the family apart, some say.

So how does the new government plan to patch things up? ⬇️

Australia’s parliament doesn’t reflect our multicultural society — that’s a problem not just for those not reflected, but for the very legitimacy of our democratic institutions https://t.co/m58pYJSQoN
