Ten people are dead, including one shooter, after gunshots were fired at Bondi beach in Sydney on Sunday evening. Here’s what we know so far:

Police have confirmed 10 people have been killed in a mass shooting at Bondi beach on Sunday evening, including one shooter.
Police responded to reports of multiple gunshots early in the evening.
Shortly before 8pm they said they had two people in custody and the active shooters had been “neutralised”.
The New South Wales Ambulance service said it was called to the area at 6.45pm after reports of multiple people being shot. It later confirmed six people had been taken to local hospitals.
Video shared online from the scene showed people fleeing the beach, and distressing scenes of people lying on the ground receiving treatment.
An event celebrating the Jewish festival of Hanukkah was taking place on the beach at the time of the shooting.

'Censorship pure and simple': critics hit out at Trump plan to vet visitors' social media

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/11/trump-plan-vet-us-visitors-social-media-tourism

Free speech advocates have accused Donald Trump of “shredding civil liberties” and “censorship pure and simple” after the White House said it planned to require visa applicants from dozens of countries to provide social media, phone and email histories for vetting before being allowed into the US.

In a move that some commentators compared to China and others warned would decimate tourism to the US, including the 2026 Fifa World Cup, the Department for Homeland Security said it was planning to apply the rules to visitors from 42 countries, including the UK, Ireland, Australia, France, Germany and Japan, if they want to enter the US on the commonly used Esta visa waiver.

“The seriousness of this move should not be downplayed,” said Jemimah Steinfeld, the chief executive of Index on Censorship in London. “Through a simple search any posts critical of Trump and his administration could be revealed and then what? Will admission to the USA be predicated on being nice about the president? That would be censorship pure and simple and the result will extend far beyond as people start to self-censor to keep the door to the USA open to them.”

Amnesty International UK called the plan “wildly out of proportion to any legitimate border need”.
