Monday's news in under 5 minutes.

Update:

The final report of an independent review into the death of Reza Berati during the deadly Manus Island riots has been released.

The report found the 23-year-old Iranian detainee’s February death was caused by a Salvation Army worker striking him.

According to the final report, Mr Berati suffered “a severe brain injury”, caused by a “brutal beating”, News.com.au reports.

He was then reportedly kicked by a passing guard, before a rock was dropped on his head, an eyewitness told the former senior public servant who headed up the independent inquiry, Robert Cornall.

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison today released the final report at a media conference in Canberra. The report made 13 recommendations, all accepted by the Federal government.

Mr Morrison says the riots were the result of “increasing tensions within the centre and the transferees’ frustration and anxiety caused by anger at being brought to Papua New Guinea”, Yahoo News reports.

1. Elliot Rodger’s mental health

A 137-page document detailing the graphic and violent plans that Elliot Rodger had to kill women has been published by the LA Times. Elliot Rodger went on a shooting and stabbing spree in California that killed six people on Friday. The document, titled “My Twisted World”, written by Rodger, was sent to several people, including his parents and his therapist just before his murderous rampage. In it, he details his parents’ divorce, bullying he endured at school and his plans to take vengeance against those female students who had rejected him. Meanwhile, it has been reported that Elliot Rodger was declared ‘not a danger’ by mental health officials in April. Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said yesterday that authorities had received a tip on April 30 concerning Elliot Rodger and carried out a welfare check. “They found him to be rather shy and timid, polite, well-spoken,” Brown told CNN. “He explained to deputies that it was a misunderstanding… He was able to convince them that he was not at that point a danger to himself or anyone else.”

11. 5 y/o boys accused of serial rape

A report in the Mail on Sunday has revealed that over two years in the UK over 235 reports of sex crimes were investigated, with children under ten being the suspects. These included two boys aged five accused of a series of rapes on other children; and a six-year-old girl investigated over alleged sexual offences.

12. Concerns over ‘Hello Kitty’ scales

Prominent social media group Mumsnet have expressed concern over a British high street chain selling pink ‘Hello Kitty’ scales marketed at tweens and young girls. Siobhan Freegard, of parenting website Netmums, said: “A product that encourages a little girl to learn to weigh herself regularly and be conscious of her weight is shocking. “ “Little girls should be left alone to have a proper childhood.” The store, TX Maxx, withdrew the product from their shelves after the publicity, but the manufacturer of the scales defended themselves. “We are committed to developing safe and enjoyable products for our fans. The scales are not intended to be a statement about weight or body consciousness,” a Sanrio spokesman told The Daily Mail.

13. Australian politician smuggles bomb into parliament.

Liberal party Senator Bill Heffernan caused an uproar today, when he pulled out a pipe bomb while speaking in Parliament House. The NSW senator revealed the weapon while addressing Australian policemen, in order to highlight what he saw as loopholes in security screening measures. He snuck the bomb in, in order to show that the security arrangements at Parliament House – which allow MPs, senators and staff (as well as families and public servants) to enter the building without being screened – were inadequate.

“This building is no longer secure,” Heffernan said. He continued, “To demonstrate that, I brought in what could be… I brought this through security, a pipe bomb. “When I was a kid we used to blow stumps out on the farm, 50 years ago. We’d get some nitropril, a quart of distillate, a plug of jelly and a detonator, light the bloody thing and [it would] go to buggery. It could blow a tree the size of this building out of the ground. “At the present time there is nothing to stop anyone from bringing those ingredients in here over a period of time through security, would you agree?” In 2009, Senator Heffernan snuck a knife into Parliament House in order to highlight, again, security weaknesses. The knife was then confiscated from him. What news are you talking about today?
