In Sydney, though, the search for a man missing in rough seas off Bondi resumes this morning. Another king tide hit the coast overnight, causing the evacuation of some houses on Sydney's northern beaches. Yesterday police recovered the bodies of two men from waters in New South Wales, and another man died in Canberra after becoming trapped in his car.

Ukraine's State Intelligence Agency says a Frenchman detained last week was planning a string of terror attacks during the European Football Championships.

They say he had planned 15 separate attacks.

A 20-year-old man has been charged over the deaths of two women in a car crash in Melbourne yesterday.
