Ahmed El Ahmad disarmed one of the Islamist terrorists at Bondi Beach, risking his own life while tackling the terrorist from behind. He was shot in the shoulder and arm by the other terrorist moments later but survived. A true hero!
The hero's name was Ahmed El Ahmad. Confirmed by the news: 43 year old father of two, fruit shop owner in Sutherland. I offer him my infinite respect. A great Australian hero.

#chess #FIDE It says a lot that Dvorkovich, Martynov and the other Russian officials of FIDE (with an obvious huge conflict of interest in this case) couldn't find any other third-party lawyer to sign such claims. @TarjeiJS @chessdom @TelegraphChess @ChessbaseIndia @PHChess

🇺🇦 The leader of the free world leads from the front. In this case, literally. Meanwhile, Putin hides and orders more bombings of Ukrainian civilians and free world leaders dither over the money of the terrorist dictator that’s attacking Europe.
After 3 days in which Ukrainian Forces destroyed Russia's "elite" 76th Air-Assault Division, yet another humiliation awaits the Russian dictator as President Zelensky stands at Kupiansk, the very town that Russian propaganda told world was theirs, just a week ago.

Today, I am in the Kupyansk sector, with our warriors who are getting the job done for Ukraine here. The Russians kept going on about Kupyansk – the reality speaks for itself. I visited our troops and congratulated them. Thank you to each and every warrior! I am proud of you!
