In short:

Footage has emerged of a moving Sydney Metro's carriage door being left wide open during Wednesday morning's commute.

The driverless metro service was running between Chatswood and Crows Nest about 8am.

What's next?

The incident is now under investigation, with the Rail, Tram and Bus Union calling on Sydney Metro to stop operations until interim safety measures are implemented.

ORMOND BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Republicans Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine won special elections Tuesday in two Florida congressional districts, bolstered by President Donald Trump’s endorsement to fill vacant seats in reliably Republican strongholds.

Patronis, the state’s chief financial officer, fended off a challenge from Democrat Gay Valimont even though she far outraised and outspent him. He will fill the northwest Florida 1st District seat vacated by former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was chosen to be Trump’s attorney general but withdrew from consideration amid allegations of sexual misconduct, which he has denied.

Summary

The Trump administration abruptly fired at least 10 principal investigators at the NIH Tuesday, including Dr. Richard Youle, a top Parkinson’s researcher and Breakthrough Prize winner.

The cuts, part of a broader purge by HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., are tied to a government slashing plan eliminating 1,200 NIH jobs.

Affected labs span key research in neurology, aging, HIV, and child brain disorders.

NIH leaders and scientists expressed confusion and alarm, warning the firings could severely disrupt clinical trials and critical research.

Senators Bernie Sanders and Bill Cassidy requested Kennedy testify before Congress April 10.

I just threw this together. I felt it was a very relevant song, though I also could have put Riker clips to it and had it work just as well.

Summary

Gov. Tate Reeves signed a tax overhaul bill into law that phases out Mississippi’s income tax over 14 years, aiming to make the state more economically competitive.

Due to typos, the bill nullifies intended economic growth triggers, potentially accelerating tax elimination.

It also cuts the grocery tax from 7% to 5%, raises the gas tax by 9 cents, and changes public employee retirement benefits.

Critics warn of a $2.6B annual revenue loss, risking vital services in the nation’s poorest state. Officials remain divided on the bill’s long-term impact.
