Australian military apologises for Afghan deaths

Newsday

Available for over a year

A four-year report finds that Australian elite troops killed 39 civilians in Afghanistan - sometimes in initiation ceremonies - and then planted fake evidence to cover it up. As the US records more the a quarter of a million deaths from Covid-19, we hear more about the race to finish develop & distribute vaccines. And with Donald Trump maintaining fraud in the recent US elections we hear from the state of Georgia - which narrowly swung Democrat for the first time in decades - but where Mr Trump's refusal to concede victory is fuelling conspiracy theories among his supporters.
