1. Bali Nine: Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran to be transferred to Nusa Kembangan prison for execution.

By ABC News

Indonesian authorities have confirmed that Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran will be transferred this week to the island prison where they will be kept before their expected executions.

The attorney-general’s spokesman Tony Spontana says that inmates from five different locations will be taken to Nusa Kembangan prison.

It is the first indication from authorities of the timing for the transfers and another step in the process that would put Chan and Sukumaran in front of a firing squad.

They are on death row for coordinating the drug smuggling group known as the Bali Nine.

A meeting is being held in Bali to determine the logistics of transferring the two Australians.

It is the meeting that was meant to be held on Friday, and among those present are the chief of Bali police and the head of the Bali prosecutors office, which is in charge of arranging the logistics and timing of the transfer.

In a separate meeting scheduled for today, Australian diplomats will meet Indonesian authorities in Jakarta and be briefed on plans for the executions.

Lawyers for Chan and Sukumaran, meanwhile, have been refused a meeting with the attorney-general, where they had hoped to brief him to explain the case for the executions to be stalled.

They may also demand an investigation into reports the judges who gave Chan and Sukumaran the death penalty asked for bribes.

The men’s former lawyer Muhammad Rifan recently revealed he had information about how the men’s case was interfered with.

He is reportedly accusing judges who handed down the death sentence of asking for bribes to give a lesser sentence.

Their current lawyer, Todung Mulya Lubis, said no evidence had been produced.

But another lawyer at Todung’s firm said they were considering demanding an investigation, because if the allegations were true then it raised serious questions about whether these two men actually had a proper hearing, and whether they were given the death sentence legitimately through the legal system or whether it was simply because no bribe was paid.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott would not comment on the bribery claims but said he believed there were still legal avenues that could be pursued.

“What we understand is that there are still legal options available to these two Australians and their legal teams,” he said.

“And we certainly appreciate that the Indonesian government doesn’t normally go ahead with executions of this type while there are legal options still available.”

Mr Abbott said he had made a fresh “personal” representation to Indonesian president Joko Widodo.

“Like millions of Australians, I feel sick in the pit of my stomach when I think about what is quite possibly happening to these youngsters and, like every parent, I want to try to ensure that nothing terrible happens to people,” he said.

But he added he did not want to “peddle false hope” nor turn it into a “test of strength” with the Indonesians.

2. Child abuse internet searches drop due to blocking efforts.

There has been a drop in the number of searches for child pornography images, thanks to a blocking system instituted by popular search engines.

In November 2013, Google and Microsoft said they would block internet searches pertaining to child pornography, after British Prime Minister, David Cameron, condemned service providers for failing their duty to protect minors.

A new study by an American university professor Chad Steel found these measures had a “rapid and significant impact” on the number of searches for child pornography, The Independent reported.

“The blocking efforts by Microsoft and Google… had a rapid and significant impact on child sexual exploitation material searches [CSEM],” Steel said.

“The results show a precipitous drop in such searches starting in July 2013. CSEM query volume fell by 67 per cent.”

The study concluded prevention measures on the internet can be effective.

3. Female prison inmates are still being shackled while giving birth.

New York prisons are still shackling pregnant inmates while they are giving birth, despite recent laws banning the practice.

In 2009, New York passed a law prohibiting the use of handcuffs or restrains on female inmates during labour, delivery and postpartum recovery.

Previously, prisons were required to shackle anybody who left the prison, including women giving birth.

Unfortunately, the reality has not changed.

The Guardian reports the case of Maria Caraballo, an inmate who, despite her protests and awareness of the state’s laws, was shackled on her way to the hospital, and then handcuffed to her bed during labour.

“The doctor told the officers to take the cuff off, but they refused,” Maria told The Guardian.

“The line to the cuff is short, so you can’t move your arm without the cuff twisting or cutting into you. I couldn’t even sit up.”

According to a new report by the Correctional Association of New York, there are roughly 40 women who give birth in one of the state’s prisons each year.

The association spoke to 27 women who had given birth after the anti-shackling laws were passed, and found almost all of them had been restrained at some point during their labour.

The report uncovered substandard reproductive and maternal health systems across New York State prisons.

4. We are so happy for the single mum who won the Powerball.

One American woman has walked away with $242 million ($USD188 million) after winning the Powerball lottery — and we couldn’t think of a more worthy winner.

Marie Holmes, 26, is a single mother of four children, one with cerebral palsy.

According to Jezebel, Marie recently had to quit her jobs at McDonalds and Walmart to care for her children.

Marie said she would donate some money to her church and put the rest (we suspect not all!) in her children’s college fund.

When asked how she felt about her win, Marie told Fox Wilmington:

“I’m ready for it. I’m ready to embrace the change. I’m very grateful for what’s about to happen for my family.”

5. Islamic State released a video purportedly showing the beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians

Islamic State has revealed a clip showing the the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians in Libya.

The film depicts the victims in orange jumpsuits, handcuffed and kneeling with their alleged executors behind them.

According to news.com.au, the attack was aimed at the Egyptian Christian Church.

Prior to the killings a man appeared on the video and stated: “All crusaders: safety for you will be only wishes, especially if you are fighting us all together. Therefore we will fight you all together.”

6. A man is wanted for a sexual attack on a woman at a music festival.

“Everybody was touching each other but I noticed this guy was a bit too close to me and I tried to manoeuvre away,” the victim told reporters at a press conference this morning.

“It made me feel uncomfortable, I’m pretty angry towards men.

“I feel violated but I’m lucky it wasn’t worse.”

Victorian police released this image of the suspect:
