Worshippers flee as synagogue set on fire
A group of worshippers was forced to flee a synagogue after a man set the building on fire during weekly services. About 20 people fled when a man doused the front of the East Melbourne Synagogue in a flammable liquid and set it alight around 8pm on Friday, Victoria Police said. Everyone inside was able to evacuate through the back of the synagogue and there are no reports of injuries. Firefighters contained blaze to the front of the building. "Police are still working to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the fire including the motivation behind the incident," a Victoria Police spokesperson said. "There is absolutely no place in our society for antisemitic or hate-based behaviour." The force is working with people from the synagogue and other representatives from the Jewish community to ensure they have appropriate supports. The East Melbourne Synagogue is located close to Victoria's parliament in the heart of the city. The suspect was last seen fleeing down Albert Street towards the CBD. It comes seven months after a devastating fire at the Adass Israel Synagogue at Ripponlea in the city's south. Two of the synagogue's three buildings were destroyed in the early-morning blaze, which also forced members of the congregation to flee. No charges have been laid however counter-terrorism police have raided multiple properties as part of that investigation.

Dramatic moment Sean 'Diddy' Combs fell to his knees after learning his fate
Twelve New York jurors gathered around 10:00 (14:00 GMT) on Wednesday in a wood-panelled courtroom to tell Sean "Diddy" Combs that they found him not guilty of running a criminal enterprise with employees, and sex trafficking his ex-girlfriends. The disgraced hip-hop mogul fell to his knees and buried his head in a chair at the defence table where he had just spent two months on trial for sex trafficking and racketeering. Before the verdict came down, Combs sat quietly in his chair, looking forward, wearing the same off-white sweater and pants he wore for much of his trial. The court grew quiet as the jury foreperson handed the verdict sheet to the court deputy. Then it was handed back to the foreperson. And they began to read. As the sound of the "not guilty" rung out in court for the first time, acquitting Combs of the most severe crime of racketeering, the rapper kept his head low. By the time the foreperson announced Combs was not guilty of sex trafficking, Combs had his head in his hands. The jury did find him guilty on the least severe charges of transporting people to engage in prostitution. As they confirmed their decision, Combs buried his face in his hands. A flurry of small celebrations followed for Combs, who has been in a federal jail in Brooklyn since September. He made a prayer sign with his hands to the jury, then turned around and made the same gesture to his family - twin daughters, sons and 85-year-old mother. He appeared to mouth: "I'm coming home." The moment seemed equally emotional for Combs' many lawyers, including Teny Geragos, seated next to him and wiping away tears with a tissue after the verdict was read. Combs' attorneys wasted no time in telling the judge that the verdict, reached after roughly two days of deliberations, meant Combs should be able to walk out of the Manhattan courthouse a free man that very day. His acquittal on the most serious charges meant he no longer needed to be jailed, his attorney Marc Agnifilo told the court, noting that his client's plane was inaccessible - chartered and in Maui. "Mr Combs has been given his life by this jury," he said. "He will not run afoul of anything this court imposes on him." Then, in the perhaps the most emotional gesture of the day for Combs, he appeared to express his gratitude by pressing his head into his chair at the defence table. He rose, clapping his hands loudly, to hug several of his lawyers. Many family members and supporters in the main courtroom and a packed overflow room joined him, cheering. Then, with one final hug to his lawyer and a wave to his family - blocked by a mass of people and court benches - he was escorted out of the court. The hip-hop mogul's homecoming hopes were later dashed as Judge Arun Subramanian denied him bail at another hearing on Wednesday afternoon. Outside the Manhattan court, there were repeated calls of "free Diddy" in a large crowd behind barriers. But he will remain behind bars until his sentencing later this year.

Drivers warned of $180 'parking fines' sparking major legal concern amid 'annoying' Aussie trend
It's undoubtedly eye-catching and certainly a trend becoming more common on our roads. But drivers are becoming increasingly frustrated at the rising number of phony parking fines and "infringement notices" plastered to their windscreens, only to later find out it's in fact a marketing ploy. While some may argue the strategy is clever, Australian advertising experts are warning that the idea may risk crossing serious ethical and legal boundaries. This week, the latest example emerged online, garnering fierce criticism from Tasmanians who branded the idea just plain "annoying". In this instance, drivers in Hobart were met with QR codes on their vehicles with an "infringement notice", warning them of an "alleged offence". It states the breach in question was "not paying for parking", which it said attracted an $180 penalty. The slip even has a due date and "road rule number". A quick scan of the QR code uncovers that the infringement notice was in fact another ad, directing users to what appears to be a clothing brand. Authorities in the city say they're taking the matter seriously, with City of Hobart Acting CEO Michael Reynolds advising that the fake fines have now actually been reported to the Tasmania Police. "The City of Hobart is aware of fake infringement notices and has reported them," Reynolds told Yahoo News Australia. "Our Parking Information Officers are monitoring the situation and ask the community to check notices carefully and report any suspicious ones." Dr Andrew Hughes, a marketing expert at the Australian National University, said this type of guerrilla ad "very well could be" in breach of consumer law. "Possibly laws covering falsely claiming to be a government agency or organisation, too," he told Yahoo "They could be perceived by some as being misleading and deceptive, which is outlawed in Australia, even if the objective is to visit a website. They also may be seen to cause unnecessary distress, such as by vulnerable consumers who may not be aware it is a promotion or who don't visit the link provided." Laws aside, Hughes believes mimicking official notices isn't really ethically acceptable either. "The likely ethical consequences through brand damage are going to be far worse than the legal consequences," he said. "And representing yourself as a government agency may lead to enforcement action being taken by the government or Fair Trading. "Marketers are finding it increasingly difficult in the information-dense environments of 2025 to get the same cut through with methods as they may have done 10 years ago. "So some turn to methods such as these, thinking any publicity is good publicity. But whilst that works for awareness, ultimately it is short-term at best, and worse, often leads to a very negative perception of the brand, turning people away". In February, burger restaurant New York Minute placed 1,000 notices resembling parking fines on cars to promote their new chain in the Melbourne suburb of Altona. It generated mixed responses from Australians online, but the owner Antony told Yahoo at the time he'd only had "incredible" feedback, explaining that the motive was to "spread good". Antony said the "whole point" behind the idea was to "turn your day around, not make it worse", but conceded he could see how there was "potential" for someone to feel concerned by the ad. Since then, more examples have continued to pop up, including in Adelaide in March, when a woman got back to her car after shopping at Tea Tree Plaza to discover what she thought was a fine from the City of Adelaide. It was indeed another advertisement. The woman said she was already having the "worst day" and saw the notice stuck under her wiper while driving. "I nearly lost my sh*t," she said at the time. An Ad Standards spokesperson said that while it registered a noticeable rise in reported complaints about guerrilla advertising, its recent community perceptions research found that 43 per cent of Australians are concerned about misleading or deceptive advertising. "Ad Standards encourages all advertisers to be upfront and honest in their marketing. Deceptive advertising can frustrate consumers and damage brand credibility," a spokesperson told us. While the advertising authority hadn't noticed a major spike in complaints to them, Hughes says otherwise. But, he said, normally the social media backlash does the job of Fair Trading and makes the marketer stop the behaviour. He said the whole idea is to grab attention, but it often backfires. "[Brands think people] hopefully get the joke, laugh, think the brand was cool, and then be more likely to buy from them. Even the buzz on social media would help amplify the message," Hughes said. Driver's 'parking fine' on windscreen exposes 'annoying' trend Woman's 'fake' parking ticket move on cars divides Aussies Restaurant defends move to place 1,000 parking 'fines' on cars "The thing is, it hasn't worked like that in practice. Some feel taken advantage of, some feel as though it has gone too far for other reasons, and others who did visit weren't even given an incentive, like a sales promotion, for doing so." Yahoo News Australia reached out to the Hobart brand via the contact details it lists. We asked their take on the online reaction and whether they stand by the divisive tactic.
