- The New South Wales Premier flags tougher security measures after Bondi shooting
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy set to meet Donald Trump in Miami
- Comanche claims line honours in the Sydney to Hobart
The New South Wales Premier says "nothing is off the table" when it comes to changes to strengthening measures to protect Jewish Australians following the Bondi shooting.
Chris Minns says he has had discussions about the possibility of deploying troops to potentially guard sites such as Jewish schools and synagogues.
On Saturday, it was revealed that a November 26 document produced by the Jewish Community Security Group had warned New South Wales Police of the increased risk of violent antisemitism during the Chanukah by the Sea event, which was targeted by the Bondi gunmen.
The Premier says he is also open to considering the option of arming the Community Security Group.
"I am not going to take anything off the table. It's not just about ensuring we've got the firepower and the security on side to protect the Jewish community in the event of a terrorist activity. It is also so the Jewish community can feel safe when they celebrate Hanukkah or Passover- or they come together as a community. And as it currently stands, and I have spoken to thousands of members of the Jewish community. They don't feel safe. So that is the challenge for us."

Hundreds of millimetres of rain have already fallen in parts of the state's northwest and tropical northeast.
The weather bureau says the rainfall could peak today or tomorrow.
Meteorologist Shane Kennedy says a major flood warning is in place for the Flinders River and there could be major flash flooding on the northeast coast.
"Expecting daily rainfall totals typically in the 60 to 200 millimetre range but there is that potential to see some isolated falls of 200 to 300 millimetres plus. It's particularly in the northwest and around the northeast coast between around Port Douglas down to Townsville and that does include Cairns."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived in Miami ahead of his meeting with US President Donald Trump.
Going into the meeting, Mr Trump said he'd had a good and productive conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but didn't provide any more details.
Mr Trump will meet Mr Zelenskyy at his Mar-a-Lago mansion to discuss the so-called 20-point plan to bring an end to Russia's war with Ukraine after almost four years.
With several key issues unresolved, including post-war territory, Mr Zelenskyy has emphasised security guarantees as the central sticking point.
"Security guarantees are very important to me. We want them to be absolutely clear, and it is important to understand when we can have them. We have discussed this with our European colleagues as well. That is, security guarantees must come simultaneously with the issue of ending the war, because we must be confident that Russia will not resume aggression. "
Mr Zelenskyy says economic issues linked to rebuilding Ukraine will also be discussed.

French screen icon Brigitte Bardot has died aged 91.
Bardot shot to global fame at just 21, dancing barefoot in And God Created Woman, a performance that scandalised censors and shattered the era’s demure screen image.
She became a symbol of sexual freedom, femininity, and a defining face of 1950s and 60s France, influencing fashion, music and art far beyond cinema.
Ms Bardot later withdrew from acting to focus on animal rights activism, alongside controversial far-right political views.
This fan, Sandrine Mathis, says Bardot represented women and freedom.
"She was a pretty woman, the prettiest woman for me. She represents the freedom of women, of expression. She put her career on pause, and after 50 years, she still remains an icon. She represents France, she represents Saint-Tropez, she represents women, she represents freedom, the freedom to love and express ourselves, voila."

It was a speedy finish with the yacht travelling down Hobart's Derwent River at a speed of 11.8 knots.
It's the fifth time Comanche has taken line honours.
