Dutton confirms refugees will leave Manus
The immigration minister has confirmed to Sky News refugees will leave Manus Island for the US in October
Mr Dutton told said he would have preferred they left sooner, with the detention centre to close that month.
‘Our desire was obviously to have them off tomorrow, I want Manus Island to close, we’re still going to maintain Nauru,’ he said.
‘We have been caught up in the US process, they have a quota each year. It was 110,000 people they were taking in the refugee program under President Obama, but President Trump has reduced that to 50,000.’
‘Their year finishes in September, so we have been pushed into October in terms of when people will move.’
Meanwhile crowds holding candles, carrying banners and waving placards have gathered in vigils around Australia to call for an end to the offshore detention of refugees and asylum seekers, marking four years since offshore detention was resumed under then Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd.
A crowd of about 200 people gathered in Sydney’s Hyde Park on Wednesday night calling for an evacuation of all offshore detention camps in one of more than 50 vigils around Australia organised by activist group GetUp.

Greens risk of losing 3rd senator to section 44 as doubt emerges over Andrew Bartlett
The Greens could be at risk of losing a third senator to section 44 of the Constitution.
The return of former Democrats leader Andrew Bartlett to the Senate could be short-lived, with the Greens at risk of losing a third senator to the same section of the constitution that claimed Larissa Waters and Scott Ludlam.
Mr Bartlett, whose path back to parliament as a Green opened up after Ms Waters fell foul of section 44 of the constitution, could be blocked by a subsection that forbids candidates from holding an “office of profit”, as he was working for a university at the time of his nomination.
Ms Waters, born in Canada, and Scott Ludlam, born in New Zealand, both resigned in the past week after discovering they held dual-citizenship, which is not allowed under section 44 of the constitution.
The former Democrat senator was second on the Queensland Greens ticket and is expected to take Ms Waters’ place in a recount.
Constitutional law expert and dean of law at the University of New South Wales, George Williams, said university employment was a “grey zone”, and carried a risk the High Court would rule it a breach of the constitution.
“There is no doubt there is a risk,” he said.
“But it is yet another reason which shows why this provision needs reforming.”
Mr Bartlett said he believed he was in the clear despite working as a research fellow with the Australian National University at the time of his nomination.

Hundreds of ISIS jihadis infected with diseases crammed into tiny Mosul prison in 45C heat
HUNDREDS of suspected ISIS jihadis are being held in a cramped and stifling prison near Mosul after they were captured by Iraqi forces liberating the city.
Reporters from the Associated Press saw more than 100 prisoners packed into one dark room, lined up shoulder to shoulder on the floor.
There is no electricity or ventilation, despite daytime temperatures well over 45C (110F).
The Iraqi officer in charge of the grim jail said it currently holds some 370 prisoners.
He says authorities were overwhelmed with detainees as Iraqi forces cleared the last neighborhoods of the city earlier this month at the end of a gruelling nine-month campaign.
He said: “Prisoners are infected with diseases, lots of health and skin problems, because they’re not exposed to the sun.
“The majority can’t walk. Their legs are swollen because they can’t move.”
More than 1,150 detainees have passed through the prison over the past three months, with 540 sent to Baghdad for further investigation, the officer said…
Tour de France Michael Matthews in green, after Kittel pulls out
The Australian is now all but certain to become only the third Australian to finish in green in Paris in four days’ time after a tumultuous day in the Alps.
Matthews was crowned the new points classification leader after Marcel Kittel crashed and was forced to abandon with an injured shoulder.
The German was caught in a multi-rider pileup only 20km into the mountainous 182km slog from La Mure and could not continue.
But while Matthews may be benefiting from the withdrawals of fast men Kittel, Peter Sagan and Mark Cavendish, he has been the enduring performer in a war of attrition.
As rivals have fallen around him, the man they call “Bling” has ridden with panache and aggression.
Coming off two stage wins in three days, Matthews had cut Kittel’s lead to nine points when he claimed the intermediate sprint from the early breakaway before Kittel pulled out.
At the finish, Matthews closed his eyes and looked to the heavens on the podium. He now leads Andre Greipel by 160 points with four stages remaining…

Bixby to do more than Siri or Google Assistant, first it needs to master the phone
A new talking sidekick arrived Wednesday on millions of Samsung Galaxy S8 phones. To understand what makes chatting with Bixby different from Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant, Samsung would like us to picture Iron Man.
Yes, the superhero. Injong Rhee, Samsung’s head of mobile software R&D, told me the electronics giant’s late-to-the-game voice assistant was inspired by Tony Stark. In the movies, he just barks commands and his systems leap into action. Billionaire inventors don’t have to tap through menus to fire their unibeam chest projectors.
With Bixby, nor will you, when taking a selfie, changing the TV channel or, eventually, setting the dishwasher to eco-mode. Samsung wants to make all kinds of devices conversational. Siri can tell you what movie won Best Picture in 1991, but won’t turn on your iPhone’s flashlight.
What Bixby lacks—at least for now—is Iron Man’s execution.

Rock find ‘rewrites’ history. Aboriginal people may have entered Australia 65,000 years ago.
Archaeologists have found the first evidence to suggest that Aboriginal people have been in Australia for at least 65,000 years.
The discovery indicates their arrival on the continent was up to 18,000 years earlier than previously thought.
It was made after sophisticated artefacts were excavated from a rock shelter in the Northern Territory.
Researchers unearthed what they say are the world’s oldest stone axes and ochre crayons, thought to be used for art.
Although there is some debate, scientists have previously estimated that humans arrived in Australia between 47,000 and 60,000 years ago.
“We have managed to establish a new age for first occupation in Australia and pushed it back by about 18,000 years beyond what was the previous established age of about 47,000 years,” said Associate Prof Chris Clarkson, from the University of Queensland.
“This has huge implications for everything from the out-of-Africa story to the extinction of megafauna and Aboriginal peoples’ own knowledge of how long they have been in this country…

Manafort in Debt to Pro-Russia Interests for $17 million, Records Show before he joined Trump
Financial records filed last year in the secretive tax haven of Cyprus, where Paul J. Manafort kept bank accounts during his years working in Ukraine and investing with a Russian oligarch, indicate that he had been in debt to pro-Russia interests by as much as $17 million before he joined Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign in March 2016.
The money appears to have been owed by shell companies connected to Mr. Manafort’s business activities in Ukraine when he worked as a consultant to the pro-Russia Party of Regions. The Cyprus documents obtained by The New York Times include audited financial statements for the companies, which were part of a complex web of more than a dozen entities that transferred millions of dollars among them in the form of loans, payments and fees.
Video appears to show Baltimore police planting drugs; CLIP
The minute-long video released by the public defender’s office shows the officer placing a small plastic bag in a trash-strewn yard as two colleagues look on. All three officers then walk out to the sidewalk.
The officer then returns to the yard and retrieves the bag filled with capsules. The capsules were filled with heroin powder, according to the arrest report.
One officer seen in the video has been suspended, while the two other officers have been placed on administrative duty, the Baltimore Police Department said at a news conference on Wednesday.
The department showed other videos on Wednesday, recorded the same day as the footage released by the public defender, that it said raised the possibility the officer genuinely discovered the drugs at the scene but inappropriately chose to stage and film a recreation of the discovery.
The public defender’s office identified the officer handling the drugs in the video as Richard Pinheiro, and complained that he was a witness in dozens of other active cases. Pinheiro could not be reached for comment and the police department declined to say whether he had a lawyer.
The video resulted in a prosecutor dropping the criminal case against the man arrested for drug possession, the public defender’s office said.

In Case You Missed It: Tour de France, Paweł Poljański reveals effects of grueling race
The Polish cyclist, riding for German team Bora–Hansgrohe, posted a photo on social media after stage 16 to give fans an idea of the effect cycling’s most prestigious race has on an athletes’ bodies.
Burned by the scorching sun and with veins bulging, Poljański’s photo lays bare the daily rigors endured by these fiercest of competitors.
“After sixteen stages I think my legs look little tired,” the 27-year-old wrote on his Instagram account.
This year’s edition of the Tour de France sees 198 riders tackle a brutal 23-day, 21-stage, 3,540-kilometer route that takes in 23 mountain climbs and affords competitors just two rest days.
For the first time since 1992, all five of France’s mountain ranges — the Vosges, the Jura, the Pyrénées, the Massif central and the Alps — will feature, while three of the five mountain stages include altitude finishes.
The 104th Tour de France also sees the riders take in the sights of neighboring Germany, Belgium and Luxemburg and 34 French counties…
