CNN — Former President Donald Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive information about US nuclear submarines with a member of his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, following his presidency, ABC reported Thursday. The member is Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, sources told ABC. A source familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that Pratt, who had a close relationship with Trump when he occupied the Oval Office, was interviewed by the special counsel probing Trump’s retention of classified documents after leaving office. Another source told CNN’s Kristen Holmes that Pratt is on the list of potential witnesses for when the trial begins. Sources told ABC that Pratt allegedly went on to share the information he received from the former president during an April 2021 meeting with “more than a dozen foreign officials, several of his own employees, and a handful of journalists.” ABC also reported that according to sources, a former Mar-a-Lago employee told investigations that he was “bothered” by the former president disclosing such information to someone who is not a US citizen. He added that he heard Pratt sharing potentially sensitive information minutes after his meeting with the former president, sources told ABC. These allegations were not included in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump over his handling of classified documents. But the incident was reported to and investigated by Smith’s team, according to ABC. A Trump spokesperson slammed ABC’s report, telling CNN that the claims “lack proper context and relevant information.” “The Department of Justice should investigate the criminal leaking, instead of perpetrating their baseless ![witch](//storage.proboards.com/5416792/images/dXToWXM_V91ty30MRcCo.png) -hunts while knowing that President Trump did nothing wrong, has always insisted on truth and transparency, and acted in a proper manner, according to the law,” the spokesperson said.

Australia often tops the bucket list for many adventurers and those looking to soak up the sun in a land famed for its breathtaking landscapes, pristine beaches, and exotic wildlife. However, one Brit has spoken out about an aspect of Aussie life that's not commonly discussed. Faye, who relocated to work in a secluded part of Western Australia, expressed regret, saying she "would never have come" had she known about the daily battle with insects. She revealed that she now resorts to wearing a face net to fend off the persistent flies that swarm around her. "They won't give you a break," she lamented. Issuing a cautionary message to fellow globetrotters on her TikTok account @fayebayee, Faye said: "Everyone says do a working holiday visa or move to Australia, go travel there it's the best thing you'll ever do. And you know, when I said I was going to do it, everyone's like 'you know be careful of the spiders, the snakes, the crocodiles, the sharks, the kangaroos they will be nice and the koalas - oh isn't that going to be cute'.", reports the Mirror.

In mid-May, I visited a park in Brisbane, the third-largest city, to find about 200 people waiting in line for a free food distribution run by Community Friends, a local volunteer organization.
The group aims to distribute food to homeless people and people with disabilities, but recently the number of foreigners staying on working holiday visas has been increasing.
Director Jimmy Farham (79) says, ``We also have people from South America, China, France, and Italy.Recently, the number of Japanese people has increased, and they now account for about 30% of the total.''
A man in his 20s from Saitama Prefecture said, ``It's true that people are struggling to make ends meet, but I wasn't originally targeted for distribution.I feel sorry, but I'm grateful.''
There were also Japanese people in the park helping out with the group's activities. A 22-year-old female university student from Chiba Prefecture said, ``(The food distribution) has spread by word of mouth, and the number of Japanese people is increasing rapidly.''

French police are investigating claims a 25-year-old Australian woman was raped by five men in Paris, days before the city is set to host the Olympic Games.
The Paris prosecutor's office confirmed officers were investigating the charge of gang rape, "likely to have been committed on the night of July 19 to 20, 2024".
Reports of the alleged assault in the early hours of Saturday morning in the French capital's famous Montmartre party precinct, began circulating in French media on Monday.
A spokesperson for the police union told the ABC he was the source of those reports and confirmed "a young, distressed-looking Australian woman, 25-years-old, fled into a kebab shop at around 5am" on Boulevard de Clichy.
The police union spokesperson claimed the woman did not speak French and did not provide much information about when and where the incident occurred.
The police union spokesperson claimed the woman had told investigators she'd been raped by five men. The police union spokesperson also claimed the woman was taken to a local hospital by first responders.
Asked about the alleged assault, Team Australia chef de mission Anna Meares said "our hearts go out to the woman involved and we hope she's being cared for and supported in the trauma that she's experienced".
