The Australian Institute of Sport has released new concussion guidelines for community and youth sport.((University of Fraser Valley))

Plus, while attention is rightly focused on Gaza during the on-going war with Israel, tensions have been building this week on the West Bank too. We unpack what’s happening in the other Occupied Palestinian Territory, where Israeli commandos have just carried out a deadly raid inside a hospital.  

And, geoguessing has taken over our feeds and now one young Aussie is training 8 hours a day for the upcoming World Cup.
