11:26Now PlayingIn this comprehensive 9 News Sydney broadcast, we cover major developing breaking news from Australia and across the globe.
First, we pay tribute to the late Professor Richard Scolyer AO. The pioneering melanoma researcher and 2024 Australian of the Year has passed away at the age of 59 after a courageous three-year battle with an aggressive glioblastoma brain tumour. As co-director of the Melanoma Institute Australia alongside Professor Georgina Long, his decision to become "patient zero" for a world-first experimental immunotherapy treatment has forever altered the landscape of cancer research. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed he will be honoured with a state funeral.
Next, a massive breakthrough for law enforcement: James Dalamangas, one of Australia's most wanted men, has been arrested by Hellenic police at a fortified property in Greece. Wanted for the tragic 1999 Sydney nightclub stabbing of George Giannopoulos, Dalamangas evaded capture for nearly three decades using the alias Antonios Tzimas. We explore the complex legal hurdle now facing the New South Wales Police Force as Greece's statute of limitations expires.
In international affairs, tensions boil over as Iran unleases waves of missile strikes on Israel. This marks the first direct exchange of military force since a shaky ceasefire was established, sparking urgent diplomatic intervention from US President Donald Trump.
Finally, we head to the UK, where intense protests have erupted outside the Portswood Police Station in Southampton over the tragic murder of university student Henry Nowak. Shocking body-worn footage showing police responses prior to the conviction of killer Vikram Digwa has ignited heavy public disorder and fierce political debate across the United Kingdom.
