July 25, 2000: passengers in Paris board a high-tech Concorde jet en route to New York. Shortly after take-off, the plane is ablaze and out of control. Flight 4590 crashes into a hotel, exploding in a fire ball from ignited jet fuel.

This aviation disaster was one of the worst in the history of commercial flight and left investigators piecing together the long chain of small events that led to the tragedy.

Capability Brown’s Unfinished Garden

Capability Brown is known as the founder of landscape design. Three hundred years ago, he created some of the most magnificent landscapes in England. He travelled the length and breadth of the country, improving more than 200 of the greatest estates in the land, for some of the most influential people in the 18th century. But there is one plan that never got off the drawing board – his own garden.

Why the Fall of Syria Checkmates Russia & Iran

For 54 years, the Assad family dominated Syria’s government, despite a civil war that had raged since 2011. But a renewed rebel offensive against the government that began at the end of November 2024 exposed the Assad regime in the country as an empty house of cards. The Assad family’s rule in the country was decisively overthrown in a matter of only 11 days.

Rural voters set to shape election

Voters in key regional electorates appear set to turn their backs on the major parties, with roads, health, the energy transition and cost-of-living pressures forging a new path in bush politics. Independent candidates are shaping up to claim the battleground seats of Wannon, in regional Victoria, and Calare, in country NSW, according to YouGov polling commissioned by AAP. The coalition has been actively targeting these electorates, with the Nationals using Bathurst’s iconic Mount Panorama race track to announce their policy centrepiece, a $20 billion regional future fund.
