Australian Federal Police issued an arrest warrant for Toowoomba teenager Oliver Bridgeman.  The Queenslander has apparently been in Syria doing what he claims is aid work since May 2015.  But authorities do not believe that - The AFP warrant relates to "incursions into foreign countries with the intention of engaging in hostile activities".  DFAT cancelled the 19-year old's passport last month.

In his fourth day of videolink testimony for the royal commission on child abuse, Cardinal George Pell said it was a "disastrous coincidence" that five priests in a school in the Ballarat Diocese were child molesters, and that he didn't believe the Christian Brothers "put all these people together for a specific purpose".  Survivors of clergy sex abuse who traveled to Rome to watch Pell give his testimony from the Hotel Quirinale said they did not believe him, but stopped short of demanding his resignation.

The Australian co-owners of Brazilian mine where a dam breached and caused a deadly mudslide are agreeing to pay a massive settlement.  Melbourne-based BHP Billiton owns the Samarco mine with Vale of Brazil.  They'll pay more than AU$1.5 Billion to address Brazil's worst environmental disaster.  Last November, two dams at the Samarco operation in Minas Gerais State ruptured, releasing a torrent of orange-brown mining waste that destroyed the town of Mariana and killed 19 people.

North Korea fired a volley of short range missiles off of its east coast into the Sea of Japan, in what appears to be a tantrum over tough new economic sanctions.  The UN Security Council agreed to the new round of sanctions in response to North Korea's recent nuclear test and satellite launch, both of which violated existing sanctions.  All cargo going in and out of the country will be inspected, small arms are banned, as are several luxury items enjoyed by the ruling elite in Pyongyang.
