The man who broke Watergate talks about Donald Trump
Donald Trump may have popularised the term 'fake news', but the wild nature of his presidency has also spawned an extraordinary series of insider accounts of his chaotic White House. The latest and most substantial of these is 'Fear' by veteran Washington reporter Bob Woodward.
Young women and injuries
The introduction of an AFL women's competition, the rise of the Matildas, and the increasing popularity of women's cricket all reflect a huge increase in the popularity of women's team sport. But with this surge has come a significant increase in serious knee injuries. Women are up to ten times more likely to rupture their anterior cruciate ligament than men, and Australia has the highest rate of knee reconstructions in the world.
Energy distributors push for a cap on solar power
More than six solar panels are installed across Australia every minute of every day as people try to tackle rising power prices. But the industry that owns Australia's poles and wires says all that power from the sun is a problem and it could destabilise the electricity grid. The solar industry disagrees, and it's preparing for a fight with the power networks.
Asian elephants under threat
The Asian elephant is one of the world's most majestic animals. But now these gentle giants face a threat that could wipe them out completely … poachers who want their skin.

As if the 2007 murder of Corryn Rayney wasn’t traumatic and incomprehensible enough for her family, the unrelenting police pursuit of her husband as the perpetrator must be one of the most appalling denials of justice and decency imaginable. Lloyd Rayney was a high-profile Perth barrister who was presumed guilty of the murder almost from the moment his wife’s body was discovered in a bush grave in a city park. But in a special edition of 60 minutes, Tara Brown reports that detectives missed or ignored other vital clues. As a consequence of the flawed investigation, whoever did murder Corryn Rayney remains unknown and unpunished. Lloyd Rayney, on the other hand, is a broken man after being hounded by the WA Police. In 2012, a court found him not guilty of willful murder, with the judge describing the prosecution case as being beset by “improbabilities and uncertainties”. But that doesn’t ease the pain for the man who wants the police to now put aside their prejudices against him, conduct a proper investigation, and find his wife’s killer.
