Domestic violence is now top of the political agenda in Australia. This comes in the wake of a multiple fatal stabbing and protests that followed. Five women were among six people stabbed to death in a shopping mall in Sydney last month. There have been protests during the past week against the rise in violence against #women in Australia. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is calling it a national crisis. Tom Canetti with more. #Australia#Misogyny#Femicide
While its a little surprising that women seem to trust the police more than men, its less of a surprise that after the Metropolitan Police's last few years, this does not hold in London.

According to Iranian media, Armita died after 28 days in hospital.
#Armita_Gravand, who was attacked by government agents in the Tehran metro station in early October this year, then fell to the ground and suffered a concussion, has died after 28 days in hospital at Fajr Hospital.
The security authorities have so far prevented the transfer of Armita's body to her family, saying they do not have permission to take it to her hometown of Kermanshah. According to an informed source, the security authorities have decided to bury Armita in Behesht Zahra, Tehran. #Femicide #Iran
