What Happened
A series of devastating earthquakes struck Venezuela, leaving a trail of destruction and death in its wake. The full extent of the damage and death toll may take weeks to emerge, experts warn. Meanwhile, in Germany, a shooting at a youth welfare facility in Stade left five adults dead, with two arrested in connection with the incident.
In Australia, the theatre industry is facing an existential crisis, with two major musicals, Waitress and Beetlejuice, and a $20m opera forced to cancel shows due to skyrocketing costs, leaving hundreds out of work. The industry is calling for urgent government help to stay afloat.
In a bid to address the growing problem of shared ebikes cluttering footpaths, the New South Wales government has announced funding for marked parking bays in Sydney. The move aims to bring order to the "wild west scenes" of blocked footpaths.
