1. Gerard Baden-Clay had affairs because his wife “put on weight and stopped wanting sex”.

Gerard Baden-Clay pleaded not guilty to the murder of his wife Allison on April 19, 2012. Yesterday and today, the jury heard him detail his affairs and reasons behind them.

According to The Daily Telegraph, Baden-Clay admitted to having affairs with three women and claimed “I just wanted sex.’’. He said he only started them because his wife became depressed, gained weight and lost her sex drive. “Allison and I hadn’t had any physical intimacy for years.”

Baden-Clay also admitted to continuing the affair with Toni McHugh (a saleswoman in one of his real estate offices). He alleged that he continued the affair for the “sake of the business” fearing what would happen if he ended it. “I didn’t want her to leave the business and I didn’t want her to cause any dramas.’’

He also told the jury that he was still involved with McHugh on the night of his wife’s death and only told McHugh what she wanted to hear when he promised to leave his wife Allison by July 1 2012 in an email sent on April 3 2012, “I have given you a commitment and I intend to stick to it – I will be separated by 1 July”. He then sent an email on April 11: “This is agony for me too … leave things to me now. I love you.”

However, Baden-Clay insists the relationship with his wife was on good terms on the night of April 19 2012. “Allison and I were working together very well on both our relationship and the business, and financially the business was turning around and we were moving forward as we were getting better.  My intention was to end any relationship with Toni McHugh and solidify and continue to rebuild the relationship with Allison for our future together.”

2. Meet the man who took the “bubbling” photo of Todd Carney.

Over the weekend, the photo of Todd Carney urinating into his own mouth went viral with outcry across Australia. Now, News.com.au are reporting that Mick Robinson, a friend of Carney’s, took the photo.

Channel Nine reported that Robinson sent the photo to his brother, who then lost his phone at the races. After that the photos ended up on social media.

Robinson explained the thinking behind the photo: "Couple of young blokes out having beers at a popular nightspot. I’ve gone into the toilet, seen Todd there, asked him if he’d ever heard of a ‘fountain’. He’s gone to do it, obviously didn’t know I had my phone there, and I’ve snapped a photo of it. The urine never actually went into his mouth.”

Carney spoke to Channel Nine of the photo and said "It was just a prank. The boys have seen me mucking around doing it before. I didn’t think there was a photo going to be taken and definitely didn’t think there would be a photo in the public.” Carney apologised for the photo and said he couldn't even speak to his mum about it directly.

Carney was sacked from the Cronulla club for the photo.

3. New evidence reveal that Leanna Harris researched how children can die of heat stroke in cars.

Justin Ross Harris was charged with the murder and child cruelty of his 22-month-old Cooper after leaving him in the car for 7 hours on a day that hit 33C. Harris claims that he forgot his son was in the car and only realised after he was on his was driving home.

Police have now presented new documents to the court to reveal that Leanna Harris, Cooper's mother, researched the internet to find out how children die of heat stroke in cars. Justin Ross Harris also allegedly researched the topic prior to Cooper's death.

Both Leanna and Justin have claimed their research was for preventative reasons according to WSB-TV.

4. Four babies born with HIV ‘cured’.

There has been a major breakthrough in the quest to find a cure for AIDS. Canadian doctors have successfully given four infants born to HIV- positive mothers high doses of three antiretroviral drugs in the first few hours of birth.

The Herald Sun reports that while the virus was present within their systems at birth, they could not be found later.

Traditionally such treatment makes the HIV strain dormant, however after a University of Mississippi Medical Centre tried a more aggressive three-drug treatment in HIV-positive babies from 31 hours of birth and still could not find the virus 29 days later, new hope has emerged amongst the medical community that a breakthrough for AIDS could be on the horizon.

6. Police question suspects regarding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

British police have returned to Portugal to question a number of suspects believed to be linked to the disappearance of British girl Madeleine McCann.

Sky News UK Correspondent Martin Brunt said, “They will be joining their Portuguese colleagues and sitting in on a series of interviews with, I’m told, first a key witness, and then a number of people who are being described as aguidos (suspects).

“We think that this includes the three or more former workers from the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz where Madeleine vanished who are suspected of carrying out a series of burglaries in the months leading up to Madeleine’s disappearance.”

Madeleine vanished from a holiday apartment in the resort of Praia da Luz, Portugal, in May 2007, while her parents dined with friends nearby.

7. Children as young as 8 developing body issues according to a new study.

In a new report released today, the Australian Institute of Family Studies reveal that 50% of all children who are either underweight or within the normal weight range are unhappy with their body. And that increases to 75% with children who are within the overweight range.

The most shocking finding was that 8-year-old are unhappy with their body and by 10 are taking steps to manage their weight. Causing a concern about the link between body image and emotional wellbeing. AIFS executive manager Ben Edwards told News.com.au, "There are some concerns there, that at that age, children are already feeling bad about their bodies. What we are seeing is that kids are starting to think about this far earlier than people had realised and the implications of that on psycho-social development also seem to be occurring much earlier."
