- New research links cancer rates in Victoria with countries of origin;
- Chelsea book a spot in the League Cup semi-finals.
The first funerals are being held for victims of the Bondi terror attack, as police prepare to charge the surviving gunman.
Rabbi Eli Schlanger and Rabbi Yaakov Levitan will be buried shortly after services today.
The religious leaders were among 15 killed when two gunmen fired at scores of people at Sydney's Bondi Beach on Sunday night as they celebrated the Jewish festival of lights.

The Prime Minister says the federal government intends to throw all the resources necessary to combat antisemitism after the nation's worst mass shooting in nearly 30 years.
He says that fight will not be ignored as the government works to tighten gun laws, despite resistance from the National party and gun groups.
State and territory governments are considering clamping down on gun licences and banning non-citizens from owning firearms in response to the Bondi Beach massacre.
The PM has been accused of using the gun reforms as a distraction - but Anthony Albanese says action to address antisemitism is just as important as the licensing changes.
"We will call all of the legislative responses required. If we need to do something more about hate speech for example. We have outlawed hate speech. It can lead to violence. If we need to examine them. If we need to strengthen them. We are up for whatever is necessary."

Thousands of refugees fleeing renewed fighting across the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo have arrived in Burundi in recent days.
The United Nations refugee agency has estimated around 64,000 people have already fled across the D-R-C's eastern border since the rebel M23 group seized the key city of Uvira near the border.
The militia took the city last Wednesday, days after the Congolese and Rwandan governments signed a peace deal in Washington.
This refugee says conditions are very difficult.
"We have no sanitary facilities. We have no food or firewood. We also have no water, so it is impossible to wash. We spend the night under the stars, sleeping on the ground. For example, yesterday we slept in the rain. For now, we still haven't eaten. We are hungry."

A UK man who drove his car into a crowd of Liverpool fans during May's Premier League victory parade has been jailed for 21 years.
Former Royal Marine Paul Doyle had pleaded guilty last month to nine counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, and 17 counts of attempting to cause harm.
Prosecutors had told the court that the 54-year-old drove into the mass of fans - injuring an estimated 130 adults and children - when he lost his temper at the crowd he saw as slowing down his journey to pick up a friend.
Liverpool Crown Court Judge Andrew Menary has told the defendant a lengthy sentence is therefore appropriate.
"The footage is truly shocking. It is difficult if not impossible to convey in words alone the scene of devastation you caused. It shows you quite deliberately accelerating into groups of fans, time and time again."

Victoria has recorded its highest number of new cancer diagnoses since population wide reporting began in 1982.
The figures are contained in the Cancer Council Victoria's annual report.
The document has looked for the first time at the link between cancer incidence and survival outcomes among migrant communities through country of origin data.
Several overseas-born groups show higher rates of liver, stomach, thyroid and pancreatic cancers, while prostate, bowel and melanoma rates are generally higher among Australian-born Victorians.

Authorities in South Australia have found the body of a Victorian man who went missing during a fishing trip with a friend.
SA Police say they recovered the body of the 67 year old during a search for the pair, who failed to return after their outing off the coast of Cape Jaffa.
The second man has not yet been found.
The search for him is continuing today with the help of a police helicopter and Maritime Safety Authority plane.

To sport and in football news,
Chelsea have booked their place in the League Cup semi-finals with a 3 to 1 win against third-tier Cardiff City.
The Club World Cup winners needed goals from substitutes Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto to put away the courageous Welsh club who were the only non-Premier League side left in the competition.
Manager Enzo Maresca says his team were prepared for a tough battle with Cardiff, despite their lower league status.
"Every season there are teams that have lost against League Two or League One sides. You need to pay attention, you need to do the right things. Cardiff is very well organised. On the ball they were very intense and we expected exactly the game that we faced. We expected some difficulty in the first half and then second half with the changes we were quite better."
