"title": "Nicolas Cage is prioritising his children over his acting career",
"body": "The 62-year-old movie star has revealed that August, his four-year-old daughter, is his undoubted \"priority\" at the moment - not his film career.\n\nThe Hollywood star - who has been married to actress Riko Shibata since 2021 - told People: \"The priority is our daughter, and that's our common ground, and that's our focus. And when I go home, I leave the market on the set, and I come home, and I'm dad. We're both there for her.\"\n\nNicolas has sons Weston, 35, and Kal-El, 21, from previous relationships, and in 2022, a rep for Nicolas and Riko announced that they'd welcomed their first child together, a daughter named August Francesca Coppola Cage.\n\nThe rep told People at the time: \"Nicolas and Riko are happy to announce the birth of their daughter. Mother and daughter are doing fine.\"\n\nMeanwhile, Nicolas previously revealed that he has a student-like approach to his work.\n\nThe actor has achieved huge success during his time in the movie business - but Nicolas acknowledges that he's still learning about his craft.\n\nThe film star - who has previously won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe - told Entertainment Tonight: \"I certainly can't think in those terms like I've done it all.\n\n\"I've always had the mantra that I'm a student. I've viewed my path and film-making as a student. I would never call myself a master.\n\n\"I always have something to learn, always want to learn. So, 60 is coming up for sure, so my goal is to read more. I've been lagging in that department. I'd like to read a book a week.\"\n\nNicolas became one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood in the mid-90s.\n\nThe actor has come under fire for some of his more-recent projects - but Nicolas previously insisted that he's fully committed to everything he does.\n\nHe told GQ magazine: \"When I was doing four movies a year, back to back to back, I still had to find something in them to be able to give it my all. They didn't work, all of them. Some of them were terrific, like Mandy, but some of them didn't work.\n\n\"But I never phoned it in.\"",

"body": "Israeli forces shot dead a 14-year-old in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian officials said, with Israel saying it was responding to stone-throwing.\n\nMoutaz Eyad Daghlas was killed in Burqa, northwest of Nablus, late on Monday, the Palestinian health ministry said.\n\nThe Palestine Red Crescent Society said its teams treated two people with gunshot wounds and took them to hospital, but that Israeli forces blocked access to a third wounded person and detained three volunteer paramedics.\n\nThe Israeli military, asked by AFP about the incident, said Tuesday it had acted to \"thwart stone-hurling and terrorist attacks\" in the area.\n\n\"The soldiers identified several terrorists who intended to hurl stones at a highway used by Israeli vehicles. This was in an area where stones have recently been hurled at Israeli vehicles,\" the military said.\n\n\"The soldiers responded by firing towards them in order to remove the threat.\"\n\nIsraeli forces have routinely opened live fire on Palestinians including minors who throw stones in the West Bank, which Israel has controlled since 1967.\n\nThe Israeli human rights group B'Tselem said Israeli forces killed at least 241 children or teenagers in the territory between the October 7, 2023 attack by Gaza-based Hamas and late June this year.\n\nViolence has increased in recent weeks, especially in the run-up to Israel's October 27 election, before which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had sought to appeal to hardline settlers in the West Bank.\n\nOn October 23, Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint near Hebron before being killed by Israeli forces, who later responded with a major operation in the flashpoint city.\n\nIsraeli soldiers or settlers have killed at least 1,116 Palestinians, both civilians and militants, in the West Bank since the start of the Gaza war, according to an AFP tally based on Palestinian Authority figures.\n\nPalestinian attacks or clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces have killed at least 51 Israelis during the same period, according to official Israeli figures.",

"title": "Nicolas Cage is prioritising his children over his acting career",
"body": "The 62-year-old movie star has revealed that August, his four-year-old daughter, is his undoubted \"priority\" at the moment - not his film career.\n\nThe Hollywood star - who has been married to actress Riko Shibata since 2021 - told People: \"The priority is our daughter, and that's our common ground, and that's our focus. And when I go home, I leave the market on the set, and I come home, and I'm dad. We're both there for her.\"\n\nNicolas has sons Weston, 35, and Kal-El, 21, from previous relationships, and in 2022, a rep for Nicolas and Riko announced that they'd welcomed their first child together, a daughter named August Francesca Coppola Cage.\n\nThe rep told People at the time: \"Nicolas and Riko are happy to announce the birth of their daughter. Mother and daughter are doing fine.\"\n\nMeanwhile, Nicolas previously revealed that he has a student-like approach to his work.\n\nThe actor has achieved huge success during his time in the movie business - but Nicolas acknowledges that he's still learning about his craft.\n\nThe film star - who has previously won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe - told Entertainment Tonight: \"I certainly can't think in those terms like I've done it all.\n\n\"I've always had the mantra that I'm a student. I've viewed my path and film-making as a student. I would never call myself a master.\n\n\"I always have something to learn, always want to learn. So, 60 is coming up for sure, so my goal is to read more. I've been lagging in that department. I'd like to read a book a week.\"\n\nNicolas became one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood in the mid-90s.\n\nThe actor has come under fire for some of his more-recent projects - but Nicolas previously insisted that he's fully committed to everything he does.\n\nHe told GQ magazine: \"When I was doing four movies a year, back to back to back, I still had to find something in them to be able to give it my all. They didn't work, all of them. Some of them were terrific, like Mandy, but some of them didn't work.\n\n\"But I never phoned it in.\"",

"title": "'They're still scared': school probe exposes wide abuse",
"body": "A student who escaped a private religious school says it engaged in group-based coercive control, as a probe recommends it be banned from enrolling new pupils.\n\nA NSW parliamentary inquiry heard allegations of sexual, physical, psychological, spiritual and financial abuse from former students and staff at western Sydney's Redeemer Baptist School.\n\nThey included claims students were made to share beds with teachers and a principal wandered naked through a common area.\n\nIn a report tabled in state parliament on Tuesday, a committee found the Redeemer Baptist Church-run school breached basic child safeguarding standards.\n\nSexual assault allegations were not handled appropriately and the school put children at significant risk of harm, the committee found.\n\nStaff at the school lacked essential workplace rights and failed to satisfy basic standards of good governance, it found.\n\nThe committee recommended the school be prevented from enrolling new students while investigated by the NSW Education Standards Authority.\n\nIt also recommended allegations be investigated by NSW Police, the Office of the Children's Guardian, the Australian Taxation Office and Services Australia.\n\nFormer student Michael Jones said the findings were just the beginning of an accountability fight and he hoped other agencies took them on.\n\n\"None of this is about religious freedoms,\" he said.\n\n\"It's about group-based coercive control and the fact you can believe whatever you want, but you can't use that to control someone or abuse someone.\"\n\nAnother former student, Alexandra Garth, was born into the church and left many family members and friends behind when she departed six years ago.\n\nShe said it was very emotional to see the findings finally handed down.\n\n\"There are so many survivors that maybe haven't spoken out yet because they're still scared,\" she said.\n\n\"Hopefully I can give them a bit of courage.\"\n\nA school spokesperson said the committee only chose to hear from people who had negative allegations rather than positive ones and said the chair, Greens MP Abigail Boyd, was biased.\n\nThey noted coalition concerns about proposing sanctions before the authority's investigation was complete, adding they would co-operate with any subsequent investigations from other authorities.\n\nWhen tabling the report in parliament, Ms Boyd said the bravery of those who spoke meant the committee had enough evidence to act.\n\nShe noted the school was subject to parliamentary scrutiny in 2006, but no procedures had been put in place to monitor a \"high-risk situation\".\n\nThe school received about $6 million a year in government funding, Ms Boyd said, and had enough cash to launch legal challenges against those who raised their voices.\n\n\"They also have deep political ties with both state and federal politicians,\" she told parliament.\n\nPeople who had escaped the school appeared to be absolutely terrified of its leaders, Ms Boyd said.\n\n\"When you know that leaving means leaving with no financial assets, and when you have finally managed to escape, it's no wonder that you would be terrified of your abuser,\" she said.\n\nEducation Minister Prue Car labelled the allegations deeply concerning and distressing.\n\nShe said the government would consider the report's recommendations, noting the NSW Education Standards Authority's ongoing investigation.\n\nThe parliamentary committee lashed a lack of regulatory oversight including from the education authority, suggesting a number of alarming matters needed proper investigation.\n\nThey included allegations of persistent Centrelink fraud and dodgy tax practices.\n\n\"It is, at the very least, troubling that an asset-rich, seemingly prosperous school operates by withholding wages from its workforce, who claim benefits, while the school receives millions of dollars in public funding,\" the report said.\n\n1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732)\n\nNational Sexual Abuse and Redress Support Service 1800 211 028\n\nLifeline 13 11 14\n\nKids Helpline 1800 55 1800 (for people aged 5 to 25)",
