Swift responding police arrested seven teenagers after several department store thefts in Melbourne's CBD yesterday afternoon. Police were called after seven teens entered a department store on Bourke Street and ransacked displays about 4pm, before fleeing on foot. Detectives and uniform members wasted no time in pouncing on the group with all seven boys arrested immediately afterwards at another Bourke Street store. A significant amount of property, allegedly stolen from at least two different stores, was seized as the group was taken into custody without incident.

Missouri officials struck back at one of the clinics that unsuccessfully challenged new state restrictions on gender affirming care, accusing the clinic in a lawsuit of failing to provide proper care for transgender minors even before the new law took effect. Missouri's Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced the counter lawsuit against St. Louis-based Southampton Community Healthcare on Sunday, two days after it was filed in court. The ACLU of Missouri, which represented the clinic in challenging the law that bans minors from beginning puberty blockers and outlaws gender-affirming surgeries, didn't immediately respond Sunday to the new filing.

MANILA, Philippines — Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco distributed Certificate of Tourism Grants to frontline tourism workers affected by the oil spill in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro, the agency said Thursday. The DOT said in a statement that the agency will also host training programs that would allow affected workers to have alternative jobs in line with the industry, which the agency also assured last March. 'The certificate entitles the organization to tourism training interventions with starter kits for alternative livelihoods while they cannot engage in their present occupation due to the oil spill,' the Tourism said in a statement.
