The stat: Six months. The length of the suspension handed to NSW surgeon Dr Liu-Ming Schmidt over her treatment of 13 patients, one of whom died.

FIFA is investigating a fight that broke out between players from Argentina and Spain at the World Cup final.

It’s the second investigation the Argentine team faces from this tournament, after players held up a political banner on the pitch following their defeat of England.

The incident under investigation broke out at full-time during Spain’s celebrations.

Video captured Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes with a hand at the throat of Spain defender Eric García, then pushing over Spain midfielder Gavi.

Argentina defender Nahuel Molina also confronted Spain captain Rodri, and Argentina assistant coach Roberto Ayala appeared to land a blow on Spain midfielder Dani Olmo.

Paredes was reported to have initially been shown a red card but it is not on the official record, leaving midfielder Enzo Fernández as the only player formally sent off. Both Paredes and Molina could still face bans.

FIFA said it had appointed a prosecutor to examine possible breaches of its disciplinary code.

After beating England in the semi-finals, several Argentina players held up a banner reading “Las Malvinas son Argentinas” (The Falklands are Argentine).

The South Atlantic islands are controlled by Britain but claimed by Argentina. Argentina invaded them in 1982 before British forces regained control following a short war. Residents of the Falklands overwhelmingly voted to remain a UK territory in a 2013 referendum.

FIFA bans political messaging inside stadiums.

The UK Government called for the team to be sanctioned over the incident.

The Northern Territory Government has released an interim report from an independent review into the Department of Children and Families’ handling of the case of five-year-old Kumanjayi Little Baby.

The report found that the key issue in her case was not a lack of statutory authority or available protective mechanisms, “but the timeliness and effectiveness with which risk was identified, assessed and responded to.”

Editor’s note: The report refers to the child as “Kumunjayi” Little Baby. TDA has used the spelling contained in an earlier letter from her mother.

On 26 April, NT Police responded to reports that five-year-old Kumanjayi Little Baby was missing. She had last been seen the previous night at her home in Old Timers town camp, near Alice Springs.

Four days later, police confirmed they had found Kumanjayi Little Baby’s body. That evening, 47-year-old Jefferson Lewis was arrested and taken to Alice Springs Hospital after he was allegedly assaulted by locals. He was not known to or related to Kumanjayi Little Baby.

Lewis was charged with murder on 3 May.

Following Kumanjayi Little Baby’s death, an independent review into the NT Department of Children and Families’ (DCF) management of her case was announced.

Former NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb and senior NT public servant Greg Shanahan were appointed to co-chair the review.

The interim report, released on Tuesday, found that despite repeated signs of domestic and family violence, the risk to Kumanjayi Little Baby was not adequately recognised or acted on quickly enough.

It found the DCF did not conduct a domestic and family violence-informed risk assessment, meaning the pattern of harm and the “ongoing impact of the violence on the children” were not “fully recognised”.

As a result, Kumanjayi Little Baby’s mother was “effectively left with the responsibility of protecting her children while experiencing domestic and family violence herself,” without the DCF adequately identifying the risks posed by the perpetrator or the impact on the children.

Co-chairs Karen Webb and Greg Shanahan wrote in the report: “The cumulative impact of the violence and its implications for the child’s safety were not adequately recognised, and protective responses were not pursued in a timely manner.”

The review is also examining systemic issues across the child protection system.

Its interim report makes seven draft recommendations for the DCF, including: comprehensively resetting the DCF’s operating model, creating a “fit-for-purpose” child protection framework, developing an integrated child protection and domestic and family violence risk assessment approach, and establishing an “urgent” child protection workforce strategy.

The final report will be handed to the NT Government in August.

Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) scientists mounted dorsal-fin cameras on dozens of whale sharks – filter feeders whose prey mostly consists of plankton, krill, and tiny schooling fish. Researchers identified 36 feeding behaviours among whale sharks, with six considered new to science. One of the new snacking methods includes 'gliding slow feeding', where the whale shark sinks with its mouth open to catch prey slowly. Another new behaviour is 'dive feeding', where the shark actively swims straight down to the sea floor, catching as much prey as possible along the way.

By now you’ve likely seen the video of One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce shouting at his dog mid-interview with 7.30 host Sarah Ferguson. If not, you’re in for a treat. It’s even started making international news overnight.

Joyce has since fronted our television screens again to clarify that his dog, according to him, still loves him.

“The dog is my farm dog and it has gone right underneath the deck we were at and… just barking incessantly,” he told 10 News+.

“It’s not a big issue. Farm dogs, working dogs, we do actually yell at them. And the dog still loves me, it cuddled me afterwards and was happy to meet me this morning.”
