It's Thursday, the fifteenth of January. Here's what's making headlines this evening.
Police are investigating after the discovery of several pipe bombs on footpaths and in parks across Canberra. As of Thursday morning, eleven pipe bombs have been found within a one kilometer stretch in Camera's northwest. Some were discovered intact, while others appear to have gone off before being found. Detective Acting Inspector Anaoronsky from ACT Policing couldn't say where the pipe bombs had come from or who was behind them, but
confirmed that the matter was being taken extremely seriously. She urged anyone who finds one of the silver tube shaped objects not to touch it, but to stay nearby and call Triple zero.
Tom Sylvanni will argue his two rape convictions should be quashed because a judge made errors during his trial. Last month, the judge found one Sylvanny guilty of raping a woman in twenty twenty four. He was sentenced to six years and two months in jail, but filed an appeal this week. Sylvanni is the twenty three year old son of former AFL player Steven Sylvanny and brother of current since killed
a player Jack. The grounds for Sylvanney's appeal have now been revealed in court documents, which claim a judge made errors during his trial last year which led to a jury finding him guilty. An appeal hearing date is yet to be set.
Authorities have confirmed a US federal law enforcement officer has shot a person in Minneapolis, a week after thirty seven year old Renee Good was killed by an immigration officer in the same city. According to the US Department of Homeland Security, officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop of a Venezuelan migrant when the person fled the scene on foot before allegedly attacking an officer. A statement from the DHS said the officer fired defensive shots to defend his life.
That's a direct quote, hitting the subject in the leg. Both were taken to hospital, and it comes as protests continue in the area, but tensions escalating since last week's fatal shooting. Minnesota Governor Tim Walls has described the presence of immigration officers in his state as waging a campaign of organized brutality.
And today's good news the US state of California is drought free for the first time in twenty five years. Recent above average rainfall across the state and record December downpalls for parts of southern California have replenished major Californian lakes. The decades long drought contributed to several natural disasters, including the twenty twenty five wildfires. Now officials have confirmed the state is free of drought and abnormal dryness for the first time since two thousand.
That's the latest from the Dallyo's newsroom. If you are looking for something else, you can catch up on this morning's deep dive, where we unpack the charges against Ozzie author Craig Sylvie.
We'll be back with another deep dive tomorrow morning, but until then, have a good night.
