Five years ago lawyer Antonio Romanucci helped George Floyd’s family seek justice for his murder at the hands of police in Minneapolis, now he’s representing the family of Renee Good an American mother of three who was gunned down by ICE agents earlier this month and he’s determined not to let truth and transparency die as well. It was hard not to be moved by last night’s showdown between Australian Alex de Minaur and Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz. After reaching a career-high of number six in the world,  the Australian top seed still hasn’t broken through the quarter-finals at a Grand Slam. ABC sports broadcaster Daniel Garb & former tennis player now commentator Louise Plemming say this stage of the tournament has probably become a mental block for him and breaking the ceiling will be a challenge.Rose Byrne’s performance in If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You is the talk of tinsel town. She’s already won 11 awards for the role, including a Golden Globe and now an Oscar nomination.
