Pope holds off position on Pell claims

But the pope, speaking to reporters aboard the plane returning to Rome form Poland on Sunday, said Pell, now the Vatican's powerful economy minister, should not undergo a trial by the media or by rumour.

it up.

Victoria state Police Commissioner Graham Ashton said on a Melbourne radio station program on Thursday that Victoria police had been investigating allegations against Pell for more than a year.

In a statement issued in Rome on Wednesday, Pell's office said he "refutes all the allegations made on the program".

"It's in the hands of the justice system and one cannot judge before the justice system," the pope said in answer to a question.

"Justice has to take its course ...and justice by the media or justice by rumour does not help. After the justice system speaks, I will speak," he said.

He said Pell had a right to the benefit of the doubt like all those accused.

P

ope Francis says he will wait until Australian justice takes its course before taking a position on

Cardinal George Pell, who is under investigation in his homeland over sexual abuse allegations.

Ashton confirmed an ABC television report on Wednesday that detailed allegations of abuse dating from the 1970s to the 1990s in interviews with alleged victims.

ABC said it has obtained eight police statements from complainants, witnesses and family members who were helping with the investigation.

The broadcaster said it received no information from police for its story.

The public prosecutor declined to comment to Reuters on Thursday.

Pell was a priest in rural Victoria in the 1970s and 1980s before he became archbishop of Melbourne in 1996 and archbishop of Sydney in 2001. He took the Vatican role in 2014.

Victims groups have called on the pope to sack Pell, the highest-ranking Vatican official Earlier this year, Pell testified at to be accused of sexual abuse, an Australian royal commission or for him to resign. on institutional child abuse, Pell is seen as a test case where he said the Church for the pope because he made "catastrophic" choices has vowed zero tolerance by refusing to believe abused for sexual abuse in the children, shuffling abusive Church has said he would priests from parish to parish sack bishops found guilty of and over-relying on counselling committing abuse or covering of priests to solve the problem.

Abused teen prisoner writes thank-you note His lawyer Peter O’Brien tweeted that three of the guards from Don Dale now work at the Darwin Correctional Centre, where Voller is now being held: “He’s scared for his safety.”

D

ylan Voller, the teenager subjected to horrific abuse by Northern Territory juvenile detention officers, has written a letter thanking the public for its support.

Voller, now 18, was shown in footage on the ABC’s Four Corners program being repeatedly victimised from 2010 to 2015 by guards who forcibly stripped him naked, tear-gassed him, hog-tied him, and assaulted him.

Most disturbing was the footage

of Voller hooded and tied to a chair, where he was left alone for two hours after threatening to self-harm.

“I would just like to thank the whole Australian community for the support you have showed for us a boy’s (sic) as well as our families I would also like to take this opportunity to apologise to the community for my wrongs and I can’t wait to get out and make up for them,” he wrote in a note released by his lawyers on Tuesday.

He is calling for his client’s immediate release and is suing the NT government on behalf of Voller and a 16-year-old boy who also appeared in the Four Corners footage and was teargassed and hog-tied by officers after escaping from his cell.

“Assault, battery and false imprisonment. It’s a shame we can’t sue for permanent psychological damage,” Mr O’Brien tweeted.

In a press release, he said abuse seemed to be built into the NT system, with a 28-day limitation period for

inmates alleging abuse by staff, compared to three to six years in other states.

“The laws of the Northern Territory are written to make it as difficult as possible for people who have been victims of state-related abuse to seek justice,” Mr O’Brien said.

Earlier on Tuesday, Voller’s sister Kira wept as she told ABC local radio her brother had lost hope.

“The last time I went to visit him there was no smile, there was no emotion, there was nothing, I couldn’t give him anything to be positive about and that really broke me,” she said.

“I want him to know he’s still a person and people still love him and he still has hope for a life.”

Firefighters struggle to slow US wildfire

F

irefighters are struggling to slow a deadly wildfire that has raged for 10 days near California's Big Sur coast, destroying dozens of homes and forcing the evacuation of hundreds of residents and campers, authorities say.

The so-called Soberanes Fire, which erupted on July 22 just south of Carmel-by-the-Sea, grew by 1214 hectares overnight and has scorched 38,000 acres of parched chaparral and timberland in and around the Los Padres National Forest.

"Firefighters are meeting challenges due to topography, fuel load, and dry humidity," Katherine Garver, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire), said.

"The fire is making runs into inaccessible areas."

Officials ordered evacuations for the famous Tassajara Zen Mountain Center in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park and other areas on Sunday afternoon.

Vic Police shooting victim unarmed: court A

Victorian police officer shot an unarmed man in the chest during a routine traffic stop then planted a knife at the scene, prosecutors say.

Former leading senior constable Timothy Howard Baker is facing a murder charge after firing three bullets at Vlado Micetic at close range in August 2013, killing the 46-year-old.

Baker says he was acting in self-defence after Mr Micetic "menaced" him with a knife.

Mr Micetic had been pulled over because the car he was driving had stolen number

plates, the Melbourne Magistrates' Court heard on Monday.

A second police car arrived within moments of the shots being fired.

Mr Micetic resisted as Baker attempted to handcuff him. A struggle occurred and the officer fired three shots.

Baker said to one of the officers "he's been shot" or "I shot him", then re-holstered his weapon, the court heard.

"Only with the arrival of the other unit did Prosecutor Andrew Tinney SC told the committal hearing there was no evidence Mr the accused call in the fact he had shot someone," Mr Tinney said.

Micetic was armed.

"There could have been no justification at all "It was the accused who took the knife to for the accused to have shot Mr Micetic." the scene and then planted it as part of an excuse for the shooting of Mr Micetic," Mr Tinney said.

Japan suspect offered to kill before

O

ne day before he tried to hand a letter to a top Japanese lawmaker offering to kill hundreds of disabled people, the suspect in Japan’s worst mass killing in decades tweeted: “I don’t know if it’s right, but action is the only way.”

Less than six months later, Satoshi Uematsu, 26, was arrested on suspicion of stabbing 19 people to death and wounding dozens of others as they slept at a centre for the disabled where he had worked for more than three years until February.

Police have yet to comment on the motive for Tuesday’s killing spree, which has shocked a nation with one of the lowest crime rates in the world and where mass murders are rare.

Information about Uematsu is still emerging, but interviews with neighbours and posts on his Twitter account paint a picture of an outwardly polite young man who became obsessed with the people being cared in Sagamihara town, about 40km southwest of Tokyo.

A Twitter account carrying Uematsu’s name and which domestic media said was used

by the suspect indicated he was a fun-loving young man who enjoyed karaoke and beach parties and wanted to quit smoking.

Uematsu had come to authorities’ attention in February, when he said he could He added: “My goal is a world “obliterate” 470 disabled people. in which the severely disabled can be euthanised, with their “I am fully aware this is a guardians’ consent, if they are statement that defies common unable to live at home and be sense,” he said in letters active in society.” addressed to the speaker of

13 people killed in Somali suicide bombing S

uicide bombers killed at least 13 people at the gates of the African Union’s main peacekeeping base in the Somali capital, in an attack claimed by the Islamist militants of al-Shabab.

The force of the bombings on Tuesday shattered windows at Mogadishu’s nearby airport, showered arriving passengers with glass and forced the suspension of flights, police and witnesses said.

The United States condemned the attack on the AMISOM peacekeeping force’s base, the latest by the militant group that wants to topple Somalia’s western-backed government and rule the Horn of Africa country according to sharia law.

In a statement, White House spokesman Ned Price said “At least 13 people - mostly the US stood with Somalia in security forces - died in the two car bomb blasts,” and 12 others its fight against “despicable acts of terrorism that seek to were wounded, police officer destabilise” the country.

Abdiqadir Omar told Reuters.

Al-Shabab, which is linked to al-Qaeda, said it set off two car bombs.

Police said the first attacker detonated a car bomb and the second tried to storm the base on foot, but was shot and exploded at the gate.

The guards were caught in the blast as they escorted UN personnel into the base, known as Halane.

AMISOM said on Twitter it condemned the “senseless attacks that aim to disrupt and cripple the lives of ordinary Somalis”.

People arriving on international flights said the blasts shattered windows in the airport buildings.

Al-Shabab regularly attacks AMISOM, which is made up of about 22,000 military personnel from Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia

and other African countries helping to support Somalia’s government and army.

Somalia was plunged into anarchy in the early 1990s following the toppling of military dictator Mohamed Siad Barre.

The UN refugee agency on Tuesday increased its funding appeal to nearly $US500 million ($A669.43 million) to finance the voluntary return and reintegration of Somali refugees from the sprawling Dadaab camp in Kenya, which hosts some 330,000 Somalis.

by almost half the population of the camp.

“Despite the security situation currently in Somalia, people are returning on a daily basis,” UNHCR’s representative in Somalia Caroline van Buren told a news briefing in Geneva.

“We cannot assure the refugees that they will be safe, but we take precautions,” she said.

“For instance, when we have return convoys, we inform AMISOM of the convoys, the routes they will be taking, the number of vehicles, the number of Kenya, citing security threats, people. It is not 100 per cent, but said last month it aims to reduce we are doing the best we can.”

CCTV probed in search for Vic missing mum S

ecurity cameras at the home of a Melbourne mum missing for a month stopped working long before her disappearance, her husband says.

Karen Ristevski, 47, disappeared from her Avondale Heights home on June 29 when she went out for some fresh air after a heated discussion with her husband.

She has not used her bank accounts or phone since.

Detective Inspector Stephen Dennis last week revealed security cameras at her Avondale Heights home were not working at the time of her disappearance.

Ms Ristevski's husband Borce told the Herald Sun on Sunday

that the cameras had been out of action since earlier this year.

He also told the newspaper police had told him not to speak publicly about the case.

Police stepped up their search for the missing mum last week, setting up an information caravan in the hope it would generate some fresh leads.

They also took the unusual step to call on anyone who had information, including family members or people that knew the Ristevski family, to have the "courage" to come forward.

Detectives doorknocked the area and handed out flyers on Wednesday.

Water police also searched a section of the Maribyrnong River on Friday afternoon after

a tip-off from a member of the public.

Police confirmed they had spoken a number of people

in relation to the case, including Anthony Rickard - Mr Ristevski's son from a previous relationship.

he world’s first round-theworld flight to be powered solely by the sun’s energy made history as it landed in Abu Dhabi, where it first took off on an epic 40,000-kilometre journey more than a year ago.

Since its March 2015 take off, the Swiss-engineered Solar Impulse 2 has made 16 stops across the world without using a drop of fuel to demonstrate that using the plane’s clean technologies on the ground can halve the world’s energy consumption, save natural resources and improve quality of life.

Swiss pilot Bertrand Piccard, initiator and chairman of the Solar Impulse project (R), and Andre Borschberg, Swiss pilot and co-founder of the Solar Impulse project (L), celebrate in front of the Solar Impulse 2 (Si2) aircraft after landing at Al Bateen Executive Airport in Abu Dhabi, UAE, early 26 July 2016.

SOLAR PLANE COMPLETES HISTORIC FLIGHT

At around 2300 kilograms, the plane weighs about as much as a minivan or mid-sized truck. An empty Boeing 747, in comparison, weighs 180,000kg.

To help steady it during takeoffs and landings, the plane was guided by runners and bicyclists.

Over its entire mission, Solar Impluse 2 completed more than 500 flight hours, cruising at an average speed of between 45km/h and 90km/h.

It made stops in Oman, India, Myanmar, China, Japan, the US, Spain, Italy, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.

In a statement this week, Borschberg said it is no longer a question of whether it’s possible to fly without fuel or polluting emissions.

“By flying around the world thanks to renewable energy and clean technologies, we have demonstrated that we can now make our world more energy efficient,” he said.

Piccard, a psychiatrist, is the son of undersea explorer Jacques Piccard and a grandson of balloonist Auguste Piccard. In 1999, he became the first person to circumnavigate the globe nonstop in a hot air balloon.

Borschberg, an engineer and graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is also an entrepreneur. He launched the Solar Impulse project in 2003 with Piccard.

The project is estimated to cost more than $US100 million ($A133.89 million).

US man jailed over Bitcoin Ponzi Scheme

A Texas man has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for operating a bitcoin-related Ponzi scheme that prosecutors say resulted in the first US criminal securities fraud case related to the digital currency.

Trendon Shavers, who operated Bitcoin Savings and Trust, was also ordered by US District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan to forfeit $US1.23 million ($A1.64 million) and pay restitution in the same amount for operating what the judge called a “class Ponzi scheme”.

2012, Shavers, 33, raised at least 764,000 bitcoins, which at the time were worth more than $US4.5 million ($A6.01 million), for his Bitcoin Savings and Trust.

He operated the business from his home, offering bitcoin-related investments through the internet.

Prosecutors said Shavers solicited the investments on the website Bitcoin Forum, and promised interest rates of 7 per cent per week to investors who loaned bitcoins to Bitcoin Savings and Trust while he pursued a “You defrauded innocent people,” market arbitrage strategy. he said. “You did it, in the last While Shavers invested some analysis, for personal gain.” of the bitcoins with Mt Gox, the now-defunct Tokyo-based bitcoin Shavers, who pleaded guilty in exchange, he largely in typical September 2015 to one count of securities fraud and who now Ponzi scheme fashion used new supports himself as a cook, said investors’ bitcoins to pay back prior investors, prosecutors said. in court he had “royally messed up” and had lost friends and embarrassed his family as a result of his fraud.

Prosecutors said Shavers also misappropriated bitcoins to purchase a used BMW M5 sedan, to buy a $US1000 ($A1,334.67) steakhouse dinner in Las Vegas and to go to spas and casinos.

Many players at the panel had hopes that a rare Pokemon may have been released just for them, but Hanke disappointed them, saying no new rare creatures were at the convention.

The small team at Niantic Labs, founded internally at Google and spun into an independent entity last year, has struggled to keep the game’s servers running as more users join, Hanke said, and their current priority was to prevent servers from crashing.

Paul Misener, Amazon’s vice president of global innovation policy and communications said: “The UK is a leader in enabling drone innovation - we’ve been investing in Prime Air research and development here for quite some time.

“This announcement strengthens our partnership with the UK and brings Amazon closer to our goal of using drones to safely deliver parcels in 30 minutes to customers in the UK and elsewhere around the world.

The technology giant has been developing drones that can deliver its parcels to private addresses over a short distance as part of its Prime Air initiative.

It will now work with the government and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to develop better safety regulations and

Current regulations do not permit drone operators to lose line of sight of their device or operate over densely populated areas unless they have CAA permission.

Technology to overcome these restrictions will be explored in the new program, which will also test sensor performance to help drones detect and avoid obstacles.

“Using small drones for the delivery of parcels will improve customer experience, create new jobs in a rapidly-growing industry, and pioneer new sustainable delivery methods to meet future demand,” Mr Misener added.

“The UK is charting a path forward for drone technology that will benefit consumers, industry and society.”

The CAA’s policy director Tim Johnson said: “We want to enable the innovation that arises from the development of drone technology by safely integrating drones into the overall aviation system.

“These tests by Amazon will help inform our policy and future approach.”

Aquila, Facebook’s lightweight, highaltitude aircraft, flew at about 1000 metres for 96 minutes in Yuma, Arizona, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a post on his Facebook page.

The company ultimately hopes to have a fleet of Aquilas that can fly for at least three months at a time at 18,290 metres and communicate with one another to deliver internet access.

Google parent Alphabet Inc has also poured money into delivering internet access to underserved areas through Project Loon, which aims to use a network of high-altitude balloons to made the internet available to remote parts of the world.

Yael Maguire, Facebook’s engineering director and head of its Connectivity Lab, said in an interview the company initially hoped Aquila would fly for 30 minutes.

“We’re thrilled about what happened with our first flight,” Maguire said. “There are still a lot of technical challenges that need to be addressed for us to achieve the whole mission.” He hoped the system might be brought into service “in the near future”.

n the night before he died Heath Ledger's sister warned him not to mix sleeping tablets with his prescription drugs, a potentially deadly combination that ultimately killed him.

At the time he was finishing up his role as The Joker on The Dark Knight and filming the Terry Gilliam fantasy The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, all while setting up a place to live.

According to Heath's father Kim, the actor was under a lot of pressure and mixed painkillers with the sleeping tablet Ambien to get some rest.

"He was rushing trying to deliver what was required on set and flying back to New York trying to set up an apartment there as well. All on time lines," Kim said. Kim is the patron of ScriptWise, a not-for-profit organisation that aims His father says he's now afraid to prevent prescription medication of painkillers, even after knee misuse and overdoses. replacement surgery.

"Heath was literally complaining to his sister the night before on the phone saying `I can't sleep, I might have to take a couple of Ambiens to go to sleep'," Kim said.

"And Kate was saying `Heath you can't take Ambiens and mix them with prescription drugs, you don't know what you're doing' but basically, almost his last words, were `Katie, Katie, I'm fine, I know what I'm doing'."

Heath died from the combination of drugs in 2008 at the age of 28.

Some of the painkillers he was prescribed were Oxycodone, one of the drugs found in Heath's body.

"There were two boxes of unopened Oxycodone and I took them back to the chemist," he said.

Kim is now trying to reduce the stigma associated with opioid addiction, which is growing rapidly in Australia.

A study published recently in The Lancet revealed that opiate use has quadrupled in Australia.

"Between the years 1992 and 2012 the number of units of opioid painkillers that were prescribed in Australia grew from 500,000 to 7.5 million and it's still growing," Kim said.

He's helping promote a new website turntohelp.com.au created by pharmaceutical business Invidior, to encourage people to get help for opioid addiction.

"There is help out there," he said.

Bourne tops US box office with $US60m open B

etween the return of Matt Damon as super spy Jason Bourne, the promise of laughing along with the raunchy comedy Bad Moms and the dark internet thriller Nerve, all of which had strong debuts, there was something new for everyone in US cinemas this weekend.

Even after a nearly 10-year hiatus, Matt Damon as Jason Bourne still draws a significant audience. The Paul Greengrass-directed sequel raked in a healthy $US60 million ($A79.02 million) to be No.1 in its opening weekend, according to studio estimates on Sunday.

Not adjusted for inflation, it's the second highest opening of the series, behind The Bourne Ultimatum's $US69.3 million debut in 2007 - the last time Damon appeared as the Robert Ludlum-created character.

With a nine-year gap between films, Universal kept awareness high in the lead up to the release with airings of the Matt Damon Bourne trilogy on eight of NBCUniversal's networks.

Nick Carpou, Universal's president of domestic distribution. "Audiences were ready for it and satisfied."

According to exit data, audiences were 55 per cent male, and 60 per cent over the age of 35.

Sia covers Beatles song for Aussie cartoon A

ustralian popstar Sia has joined a host of major musicians to cover a Beatles song for an upcoming children’s TV show called Beat Bugs.

The singer from Adelaide is in good company as James Corden, Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) and P!nk can also be heard belting out hits from the Fab Four for the cartoon, which is a unique concept dreamt up by Aussie Josh Wakely.

The Newcastle native had the idea to create the cartoon which follows a pack of adventurous little bugs living in a back garden, each with their own distinctive personality, and weave a song from The Beatles’ impressive back catalogue into each episode.

Three years later, after jumping through all the hoops necessary to get the rights to songs by The Beatles, the project is finally ready for an audience.

“I’ll always remember overlooking the beach in Australia, and we had worked through the night to create the track Blackbird to send Sia, and I was finished about four in the morning and sent it through and we didn’t know when she would track her vocals,” Wakeley said.

Wakely imagined this playful, children’s universe with songs from The Beatles’ catalogue including Yellow Submarine and Hello Goodbye, with the underlying message from their hit All You Need Is Love.

“It was about bringing these extraordinary songs and finding out the stories within them, and bringing them to a whole new audience and it overtook me as a passion.”

Wakely had help from fellow Newcastle man, and collaborator, Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns.

Johns and Wakely had worked together before, writing the short film My Mind’s Own Melody, which was accepted into the 2013 New York Film Festival.

“Daniel is always up for an ambitious idea,” he said.

So, with just enough money to cover a day and a half in a studio, Johns and Wakely worked on some recordings to prove to Sony ATV, who had control of the music, that they were worthy of the rights to The Beatles songs.

It’s been a long journey, but Wakeley’s vision has finally been brought to life with beautiful, Pixar-like animation created in Vancouver.

Beat Bugs has also been picked up by Netflix and will be broadcast globally and on the Seven Network in Australia.

“I fell asleep in an exhausted heap and woke up and they were there. It was like “There have been lots of ups and a kind of magic, there was an instant downs, but it’s been a wild ride.”

Sia song and I played it loudly. *Beat Bugs premieres on 7Two from “I think it’s one of the most definitive July 25-August 5 from 4pm Beatles covers ever, it’s extraordinary,” *www.beatbugs.com.au he said.

Video for Sia hit nominated for MTV award H

ot on the heels of scoring her first No.1 as an artist on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Australian singersongwriter Sia has been nominated for an MTV video award.

Sia topped the Hot 100 with Cheap Thrills on Monday in the United States, having previously co-written Rihanna's Diamonds that led the same chart for three weeks in 2012.

On Tuesday Cheap Thrills earned Sia a nomination for best female video at at the MTV Video Music Awards, competing against Beyonce, Adele, Rihanna and Ariana Grande.

Kanye West's controversial Famous, Beyonce's Formation and Adele's Hello will battle Justin Bieber's Sorry and Drake's Hotline Bling for video of the year when the VMAs air live on August 28 from New York's Madison Square Garden.

West's infamous Famous features what appears to be naked images of the rapper and other celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Donald Trump and Bill Cosby.

Beyonce is the overall VMA leader with 11 nominations - marking a career best for the pop diva. Adele is behind her with eight nominations.

David Bowie, who died from cancer earlier this year, is nominated for best direction, cinematography, art direction and editing for Lazarus - a video that showed him frail and lying in bed, eyes bandaged. It was released several days before the icon's January 10 death.

Meet Wes

When I am hanging around my two-legged friends I am happiest, and I promise I’ll be a great best friend.

I might be a little too energetic for children, but I will fit into an adult household perfectly! I will be happy and content if we can go for a run around each day.

We might even enjoy doggy sports where I can put my mind to good use.

Six baby rhinos have been rescued since the floods began last week, said Rathin Barman, an official at a wildlife research and conservation centre in Kaziranga.

prevent it from getting alarmed before moving the animal to the conservation centre.

All of the rescued rhinos will stay at the conservation centre for now and will be released in the wild once the floodwaters recede.

At least one rhino drowned in the floods.

Forest guards found its remains earlier this week in the park, which is located alongside the mighty Brahmaputra River.

The river was overflowing the danger mark at several places and had breached its banks at others, Assam's disaster management officials said.

Kaziranga National Park is home to a large number of wild animals, Wildlife workers covered the face including tigers and a sizeable of a baby rhino with a cloth to elephant population.

KODO in its purest form – gracefully runs through to the rear of the car to convey rhythmical motion, joining the rear bumper, which expresses a composed sense of stability.

Boasting a stylish interior and exterior re-design and improved ride and handling, New Mazda3 features new i-ACTIVSENSE safety technology; including Smart City Brake SupportForward (SCBS-F) which is now standard across the range, while Mazda3 Maxx and all grades above it get SCBS-Reverse (SCBS-R), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).

LED fog lamps are available on all models from the Maxx grade, while electric folding mirrors are standard across the range and are automatic on Touring and above.

Making New Mazda3 safer still is the inclusion of Driver Attention Alert (DAA) and Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) on the Mazda3 SP25 GT, and the range-topping Astina adds the Lane-Keep Assist System (LAS) and Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) as standard equipment.

New Mazda3* also gets an Electric Parking Brake and Electric folding mirrors, DAB+ digital radio, a Drive selector switch is available on automatic models, there are three new exterior colours to choose from, and Pure White leather – an all-new seat trim on Mazda3 - is available as an option.

With Mazda3 Neo pricing remaining at $20,490 (MLP) - but packed with an assortment of new equipment, prices have fallen on all other models by between $1,000 and $1,550 compared to the outgoing model that included the safety pack option.

The New Mazad3 also gets a stylish interior makeover. The decorative panel is now more three dimensional in shape, the inner handle bezel of the door trim features a sharper, smoother design, and the inclusion of satin chrome, and other metallic materials, collectively heighten the feeling of quality.

Vehicles equipped with Electric Parking Brake (EPB) feature a new centre console design made possible thanks to the extra space in this area, while the Active Driving Display* is now presented in full colour, with DAB+ digital radio also available.

New Mazda3 also offers improved handling performance and ride comfort, thanks to G-Vectoring Control - a world-first Mazda technology that improves chassis balance - and Electric Power Assist Steering, damper and suspension enhancements. Occupants will also experience a quieter drive thanks to better NVH.

“The updated i-ACTIVSENSE safety technology inclusions make Mazda3 one of the safest cars in its class, while the enhanced drive and handling characteristics – something that Mazda is renowned for – are sure to impress all that drive it.”

Touring grades. The more powerful 2.5 litre SKYACTIV-G petrol engine – with 138kW of power and 250Nm of torque - comes standard on SP25, GT and Astina variants. The 2.2 litre SKYACTIV-D Diesel is no longer offered.

The front-end of the New Mazda3 has been re-designed, and includes a new front grille and signature wing that combine with the adoption of either new Halogen or LED headlamps to create a bolder, more aggressive expression.

Like other Mazda passenger and SUV vehicles, New Mazda3 is available with a choice of either the SKYACTIV-MT 6-speed manual or SKYACTIV-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission.

The dynamic flow – that articulates

New Mazda3 goes on sale from 1 August, 2016.

FISHINGREPORT W

inter is here. The wind has been strong, the rain has been consistent and some mornings it feels like its sub-zero. However, this has not stopped some persistently hungry fish.

Pelagic species like southern bluefin tuna, albacore, striped tuna and Sword fish are among these of course joined by big and small gummy sharks, southern calamari, winter snapper, bream and trout (rainbow and brown). It seems that picking the right day to chase these species has been more difficult than catching them. Although, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not too worried about the temperature it can be a good opportunity to focus on land based fishing. Catching some good quality bream in local estuaries and some big trout in places like Devil Bend can be a great way to feed the addiction fishing can be.

Gummy Shark

Bream Bream, a seemingly small fish with a phenomenal burst of energy combined with an instinctual urge to run you into any branch, any form of structure in the water to break your line and escape. Those characteristics are what make bream such a hard fighter and so much fun to target.

Some advice to catch these fish in creeks or estuaries is to pick the conditions. When there has been rain, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to fish because of two things; the running water especially in creeks caused by recent rain, and the fact that bugs and food for the bream would have been either washed into the water or exposed due to the recent increase in freshwater. If you understand these simple statements and apply them you will have a much better chance of catching these great fish.

Land based and inshore have all been So, good luck out there in the not too producing quality fish lately. Land based, great conditions! Todd the majority of the fish have been around the metre mark with the occasional 5-10kg fish. All the common areas like Somers and Balnarring have been targeted mainly with Merricks also producing quality squid during the day. Inshore, similar areas to where the land based fishermen are catching them have been popular also among boats with the inclusion of areas like the Western entrance. The average size has been similar with some bigger models coming in.

Squid Port Phillip seems to be filled with quality bait size squid and some good 25-35cm (measurement of the hood only) sized cephalopods. Because of this, many people are taking advantage and filling up there bait freezers with some of the best fresh bait you can use. Gummyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, whiting, flathead and most saltwater species cant rest a well presented ring or strip of squid.

Get down there! Westernport has also been producing some squid and good sized ones at that but in a couple months around November and September the squid will go crazy. So get ready, get your jigs, get your line and terminal tackle and most importantly be ready.

SPORT WAYNE ROONEY TARGETS 58â&#x20AC;&#x201E;SPORT

2018 RUSSIA WORLD CUP E

ngland striker Wayne Rooney intends to be available for England duty through to the 2018 World Cup in Russia when he will decide on his international future.

"I'll carry on until the World Cup in 2018 and then I might have a decision to make," he told the Daily Mail in an interview.

"But for the next two years, captain or not captain, I'll turn up and be available

to play if I am wanted."

The Manchester United forward, who skippered his country in their Euro 2016 campaign which ended with a shock defeat by Iceland in the last 16, said he had briefly talked to new England manager Sam Allardyce but not about the captaincy.

"I've spoken to him. Not at length about how we're going to play or my role, but he seems very excited about the job

and he'll have his own way of doing it," Rooney said.

"I don't think it would be fair to expect him to make a decision on the captaincy now.

"So I'll wait and see what he thinks. He'll want to see the group, work with us all and then make his decision."

EPL transfer fees poised to break record

W

ith one month of the transfer window left remaining, English Premier League clubs are poised to push escalating fees closer to another new record this week.

The projected move of France midfielder Paul Pogba from Juventus back to Manchester United for a world record STG100 million ($A175.5 million) would take spending by the 20 teams to almost STG600 million, adding to the STG175 million recorded by accountancy firm Deloitte in the January window.

Last year was the first in which annual fees reached STG1 billion ($A1.75 billion).

So far this close-season Arsenal - criticised in the past by many supporters for not spending enough - have recorded the

highest individual outlay by paying STG35 million for Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka.

But Pogba's proposed return to Old Trafford would dwarf that and all other sums in the history of the sport, smashing the world record of STG85.3 million that Real Madrid paid for Wales forward Gareth Bale three years ago.

record might be set by a midfield player.

Manchester United, with Pogba expected to "I really thought if (100m) become his fourth major was paid, it was going to signing. be for a striker who could Ironically, the most be a match-winner and exciting of them could be probably provide you with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who 30 goals a season," he arrived on a free transfer told BBC Radio. from Paris St Germain and scored a spectacular "Possibly the only two I thought could command goal on Saturday four minutes into his debut. that figure were

coming into effect this season and new managers taking over at Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs, it is perhaps not surprising "Maybe it will be 200 or 300 million, who knows?" that a spending spree has materialised.

Trevor Francis, the first Former Chelsea manager million-pound player in Jose Mourinho was English football back always likely to spend big in 1979, said he was surprised the new world in attempting to revive

Pep Guardiola, having already spent STG35 million at Manchester City, was reported by British media on Sunday to be on the verge of almost doubling that by signing German forward Leroy Sane from Schalke 04.

Hart only happy for Oly track medal A

ustralia's men's sprint track cycling trio missed a world championship medal by centimetres but don't plan to fall short in Rio.

Germany, Great Britain and the Dutch could also challenge.

The team of Nathan Hart, Pat Constable and Matt Glaetzer placed fifth at the world championships in London earlier this year but the minute margin of the loss gave them confidence heading into the Olympics.

It will be the first Olympics for Hart and Constable while Glaetzer teamed with Scott Sunderland and Shane Perkins at the London Olympics.

The Australians missed the ride for a bronze medal by just one millisecond.

Hart, who is the lead rider, said they felt they were in the medal mix in Rio.

"There's going to be some really close racing much like London," Hart said.

The trio then qualified third fastest and moved through to the bronze medal race, but were pipped by Germany.

Glaetzer, however, finally got to taste podium success winning silver in the "We were so close to the top individual men's sprint at three and within reach of a the world championships good result there so it fills us showing he will be in good with confidence, especially form in Rio. with the way we've been Constable, 20, only started training in the last six cycling in 2010 after picking months," Hart said. up a flyer while watching the World champions New Zealand are the team to beat, proving the fastest for the past three years but Hart said

The Australian sprint crew completed their third session at the Rio venue and will now get out of the city for a few days' recovery.

Hart said the team, led

NRL decisions lack common sense: Thaiday

B

risbane veteran Sam Thaiday has slammed the NRL's decision to suspend St George Illawarra star Tyson Frizell for touching a referee.

Frizell is set to miss Thursday's clash with Brisbane in Wollongong as he faces a one-match ban for contact on referee Chris James after brushing past him while running back into a defensive position in his team's loss to Canterbury.

Thaiday, who will return from his own suspension to face the Dragons, said the NRL's punishments for such innocuous incidents were way out of proportion.

"There's zero common sense in our game these days, especially when it comes to some of these calls," Thaiday told reporters on Monday.

"There's many incidents throughout a lot of games where referees have been brushed by, there's many incidents out there where referees are touching players as well.

"We just need to judge incidents on their merits and make sure people aren't

missing games for silly little infringements like that."

Thaiday was handed a one-game ban three years ago for tugging on a referee's shirt in an attempt to demonstrate he'd had his own jersey pulled during a scrum.

The 31-year-old admitted that was "fair" enough but he couldn't accept Frizell copping the same sanction for merely brushing the chest of a referee in an attempt to move past him.

Fellow Broncos star Corey Parker said the crackdown was "extremely frustrating" and was testing the patience of NRL fans.

"For the men and women who pay their money to come and watch a game of rugby league and follow it through the good and bad that have to deal with those sorts of decisions," Parker told Sky Sports Radio's Big Sports Breakfast.

"You can just imagine it's frustrating," "You just assume and hope that the powers above make the right calls.

"But at the moment everyone has an opinion on it."

The fan favourite won the club's golden boot during Kevin Muscat's first campaign in charge and used that form to earn club contracts in Belgium, Saudi Arabia and China.

"I have extremely fond memories of my time at the club. The support I received from the coaches, my teammates and the fans was outstanding, and I can't wait to represent the club again," Troisi said on Monday.

Bring on Hawks: Demons' Watts

M

elbourne's two-point win over Gold Coast might have been a contender for worst game of the AFL season, but the Demons are confident they can elevate their play against Hawthorn.

Sunday's MCG scrap was part of a round so poor that coach Paul Roos called it "as bad a weekend of football that we've seen".

But forward Jack Watts wasn't down on the contest, perhaps because he kicked the winner.

His goal from the pocket with two minutes remaining was enough to seal the points when Gold Coast's Tom Lynch missed a shot after the siren.

For Watts, the Sunday slugfest was a part of the best season of his career - personally and for the club.

certain to claim their third minor premiership since 2012 as they seek a fourth-straight flag.

Despite battling with the lowly Suns, Watts believes they can end a 10-year losing streak to Hawthorn on Saturday.

"Hopefully we'll give them more than a nudge," he said.

"This whole year, when we come up against those top-four sides we've shown we're right there when we play our game style."

Watts revealed a Hawthorn forward has helped him revitalise his own career.

The No.1 draft pick has been an ever-present for Melbourne in his eighth season, kicking a career-best 34 goals.

He says watching Jack Gunston has served him well.

"He's a terrific player.

I played a lot of junior footy with Gunner," he said.

"This year has been a highlight for me as a whole," he told reporters "I watch a lot of vision on Monday. of him and Tommy Lynch from Adelaide, "The way that we're playing and progressing, those kind of connecting that's what I really enjoy forwards. and look forward to over "You learn a lot from the next few years." them then you put your own little twist on Next up is a battle with the Hawks, who appear things."

Sandilands return won't fix AFL Dockers F

remantle coach Ross Lyon says his team can't rely on Aaron Sandilands to fix all their woes when the star ruckman makes his longawaited AFL return in Sunday's western derby against West Coast.

The Dockers are a team in freefall after suffering a 90-point loss to Sydney in Matthew Pavlich's 350-game milestone at Domain Stadium on Sunday.

Zac Clarke, Jon Griffin, and Jack Hannath have all failed to adequately fill the ruck void in the absence of Sandilands.
