He’d just ridden his first group 1 race. Then came the death threats
Jabez Johnstone, the only apprentice riding in the 2026 Melbourne Cup, faced death threats and social media abuse following a horse death in the Caulfield Cup. Many accused him of causing mid-race interference which led to two horses and their jockeys crashing. However, he and all riders involved in the crash were cleared of any blame by Racing Victoria stewards two days later. His first trainer and mother figure, Sarah Cotton, his apprentice coach and father figure Stephen Maskiell, and his new master, Ciaron Maher, rallied around him and he continued to ride the same horse in the Melbourne Cup. Despite their unconventional path into racing, Johnstone is now a senior rider in South Australia.

Binance sees spike in withdrawals after $6.3b heist
Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has seen a surge in customer withdrawals following a $6.3 billion ($A9 billion) heist by hackers linked to North Korea. The exchange, which went back online after the heist, saw customers withdraw $US3.64 billion ($5.18 billion), or 2.1 per cent of its assets. The company now covers 95 per cent of the stolen assets, using company funds to buy replacement tokens. The remaining five per cent are less liquid assets and may take longer to source in the required amounts. The FBI has identified the North Korean state-sponsored unit known as TraderTraitor as responsible for the attack. Binance plans to roll out the withdrawals phase in stages, prioritising user demand.

UNIST Develops One-Sided Ultrasonic Test for 3D-Printed Concrete
Researchers from the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) have developed a non-destructive testing method that attaches a sensor to just one face of a 3D-printed structure to check how far the concrete layer below has hardened. This method allows builders to monitor when the next layer can be stacked, which is expected to improve process stability. The method was developed by a team led by Professor Shin Myoung-su of the Department of Earth Sciences, Urban and Environmental Engineering and supported by the Ministry of Science, Urban, and ICT and the National Research Foundation of Korea. The technology can be applied to process control, including when the new layer is added and how fast the printer extrudes material.

'Next war could last longer': Iran warns US as Trump hints at fresh strikes
Iran has warned the US that a potential future war could last longer than previous conflicts, according to Iranian state television. This follows threats from the US and Israel to resume bombardments as they hold crucial elections. This comes after US President Donald Trump suggested that the US could swiftly strike its remaining targets in Iran. Top military and political officials in Iran have warned against any new attack. The warning comes as Iran's security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, revealed that he had received a letter from US Vice President JD Vance seeking revival of talks. Since the war began, Iran has claimed control over the Strait of Hormuz and has targeted vessels attempting to cross without its authorisation.

Skilled migrants to boost UK finances by £115bn under current rules, analysis finds
Skilled migrants and their dependants would boost the UK's public finances by £115bn under current settlement rules, according to a new analysis by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR). This comes as Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood prepares to unveil controversial migration reforms, which could double the qualifying period for settlement for most migrants from five to 10 years and potentially triple it to 15 for care workers. The think tank suggests that skilled migrants and adult dependants due to settle in the UK under current rules would contribute £115 billion more to the public finances than they cost over their lifetimes. The analysis uses the same methodology as the government's £10 billion lifetime cost estimate for care worker. However, internal conflict within the government has led to speculation that ministers may scale back the plans, with Prime Minister Andy Burnham supporting the principle that settlement is a right to be earned through contribution.

Oil Prices No Longer Follow Headlines
Oil prices have dropped significantly since the start of the war with Iran, despite initial optimism that oil flows from Hormuz had recovered to pre-war levels. However, this has not been sustained, with benchmark oil prices set for their fourth monthly gain in a row. Despite claims that Gulf states are exporting even more oil than before the war, no changes can be made. JP Morgan’s head, Michael Downey, explains that the price of oil has become harder to explain due to the complexity of the issue.
