Sydney’s Jewish community told police of a “high” threat of an attack at December’s Chanukah by the Sea festival at Bondi beach, but New South Wales police appeared not to have completed a comprehensive risk assessment for the event, an interim royal commission report has found.

The interim report of the royal commission into antisemitism and social cohesion, established in the wake of December’s terror attack, found no gap in current laws that could have prevented the shooting. But it did call for greater coordination of policing at Jewish festivals and events.

The report, handed down by commissioner Virginia Bell on Thursday, also warned that the current war being waged against Iran by the United States and Israel “is likely to have increased the risk of attacks directed at the Australian Jewish community”.

The family of a New Zealand woman detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is pleading with the New Zealand government to help secure her release, claiming she is confined to a room with 46 people for 22 hours a day.

Everlee Wihongi, 37, moved to the US with her family aged six, and holds a green card, her mother, Betty Wihongi, told local broadcaster RNZ.

The family visited New Zealand in March for an uncle’s 80th birthday, but when they flew back to Los Angeles on 10 April, Wihongi was detained.

A new tool that can shed light on who is most at risk of obesity-related diseases could help identify people who would benefit most from weight-loss medications, researchers have said.

Recent data suggests about two-thirds of adults in England are overweight or obese – a situation that has caused concern among health experts.

Now researchers have developed a tool that, they say, offers an accurate and personalised approach to identifying those at risk of obesity-related conditions.

Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Nicky Bandini and Lars Sivertsen as Arsenal draw 1-1 away at Atleti and to preview the forthcoming Premier League fixtures.

On ‪@FootballWeeklyPodcast‬ today: Atléti and Arsenal were never going to deliver the entertainment of PSG vs Bayern, but it was an undeniably good game. It was tense and it was controversial, and Mikel Arteta and Diego Simeone probably covered more ground than anyone on the pitch. It’s impossible not to talk about VAR or handball here. So apologies in advance.

Elsewhere, after that good result for Arsenal, they can return to stressing about the Premier League title race at the weekend. Home to Fulham, while Manchester City have to wait until Monday.

Then there’s relegation. West Ham at Brentford on Saturday, before all-new injury problems for Spurs at Villa on Sunday. If they both win (big if), they could drag some others into it.

Also, there’s all the EFL permutations, Mykhailo Mudryk’s four-year ban and we answer your questions.

A family cat who got lost amid a move from California across the US is said to be settling back into his old ways with his humans at their new home in Georgia after experiencing an unlikely – but long hoped for – reunion more than seven years in the making.

As owner Amber Davidson-Orozco put in an interview Wednesday, her cat Dodger still responds to his name and allows her sons to flip him playfully over their shoulders despite an absence from them that to the cat lasted the equivalent of roughly 24 years.

You’re not imagining it. Smaller portions, higher prices and worse service is something we're all experiencing when shopping, eating out and using public services these days. Inflation is often the reason given but it’s not the full story. Over the last few decades, a financial model called Private Equity has quietly taken over huge parts of everyday life. From restaurants and retailers to vets and care homes, many of the brands we rely on are no longer being run as long-term businesses, but as investments designed to generate fast returns. In this video, Neelam Tailor breaks down how private equity actually works, why it’s grown so quickly, and how it can reshape the businesses you interact with every day.

US gas prices rose to their highest level in four years, reaching an average $4.23* a gallon at the pump as US-Israeli peace talks with Iran remain at a standstill.⁠
⁠
The last time average US gas prices breached $4.15 a gallon was in April 2022, when oil prices soared shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. Average gas prices are now $1 higher than just a year ago, when they were closer to $3.15 a gallon.⁠
⁠
Average gas prices vary heavily by states, with oil-producing states seeing averages as much as $2 a gallon lower than states that import gas. In Texas, gas is $3.72 a gallon while California sees an average of $5.96 a gallon.⁠
⁠
Higher oil prices have been a boon for western oil companies, which have found themselves with an advantage over their competitors in the Middle East that have been affected by the war. BP on Tuesday said that its profits had more than doubled in the first quarter of the year, reaching $3.2bn (£2.4bn).⁠
