- Finnish cave diver Mikko Paasi and Thai diver Norrased Palasing captured the "emotional moment" they found five men in a flooded cave in Central Laos.
The group of men entered the cave in Central Laos’s Xaisomboun province last week to look for gold, but heavy rainfall caused a landslide and flash flooding that blocked their exit.
The five men were found on Wednesday evening, a week after they went missing.
Initial reports suggested that seven men had gone missing, although Mr Paasi said the group of five men said no one else was with them.
Rescuers are pursuing multiple options to extract the men from the cave, and are pumping water out in the hopes the men can crawl out.

- The Treasurer has introduced the government's controversial tax laws into parliament and if passed, they will see the replacement of the 50 per cent capital gains tax discount with indexation, end negative gearing on housing investment, except new builds, and deliver a modest tax cut for wage earners.
Dr Tom Kelly is the founder of AI company Heidi Health, which is valued at around $700 million. He joined The Business to discuss how the changes will impact small business and startups. Heidi has raised $100 million so far. Tom Kelly says in Australia, superannuation funds allocate investment to venture capital, which then invests in startups and tech firms. He says that pool of money could shrink if these tax changes go ahead in their current form.
"I think there'll be less money going to tech if the CGT doesn't have some sort of carve out for tech or doesn't address these different issues with precision," he said.

Across Western Australia's main electricity system, battery capacity has been added at a breathtaking speed and scale. Soon there will be about 14,000MWh of batteries coming online - enough to meet about three quarters of the typical demand for electricity from the state's main grid at any one time. WA energy minister Amber-Jade Sanderson said in the last quarter of 2025, there was more than 52 per cent of generation coming from renewables and storage and as a result, prices came down for industry. Batteries made solar power more valuable in the day and prices less extreme in the evening.
The explosive growth of batteries is also playing out on the East Coast, including at the site of the old Liddell coal-fired power station, which is now under demolition. Australia...

It is the first time Israel has made such a sweeping demand since US President Donald Trump announced in April a ceasefire had been imposed in Lebanon.
Israel has in recent days intensified strikes on Hezbollah targets within Lebanon.

Lebanese health authorities say more than 3,200 people have been killed in Israeli strikes since early March, when the latest conflict escalated.
Hundreds of those are women and children, and many health care workers are also among the dead.

- US President Donald Trump says he is 'not satisfied' with a proposal for peace with Iran, as the White House accuses Iranian state media of fabricating a draft agreement to end the war in the Middle East.

- Rescuers have found five men trapped for a week in a flooded Cave in Laos after a complex extraction operation.
A volunteer rescue team that was involved in the 2018 cave rescue of a Thai football team joined the effort.
Finnish diver Mikko Paasi said the discovery of the men brought a ‘brief relief’, but recounted the cave’s rough terrain and dangerous conditions.
*Editor's note: The ABC understands the group trapped in the cave was made up of five men, rather than the seven men initially reported.*
