Wednesday afternoon's news in under 5 minutes.

We’ve rounded up all the latest stories from Australia and around the world – so you don’t have to go searching.

1. Belle Gibson to tell ‘the whole truth’ in TV exclusive.

Fallen wellness guru Belle Gibson is set to explain her web of lies on this week’s episode of 60 Minutes.

In an interview with Tara Brown, The Whole Pantry founder promises to tell “the whole truth”.

Gibson built her empire on claims a healthy diet cured her cancer.

But her empire began to unravel in February this year, when it was revealed she never deposited funds she claimed to raise for charity. It wasn’t long before Belle admitted she may have never had cancer to begin with.

In a promotional clip for the 60 Minutes episode, Brown asks the 24-year-old mother: “How can we believe anything you say now?”

Belle responds: “Tara, I have lost everything.”

Channel Nine’s 60 Minutes airs on Sunday at 8.30pm.

2. Top fashion designer under fire for stealing Indigenous dress design.

One of the world’s trendiest fashion designers is facing allegations she stole a dress design from an Indigenous garment.

The women of a small Indigenous community in Mexico believe french designer Isabel Marant plagiarised their traditional “huipil” dress.

Marant’s design is currently retailed for more than $290 on website Net-a-porter.

Mic reports a group of women from the Indigenous Mexican community is considering pursuing legal charges against Marant.

3. Study confirms kids of same-sex parents have same outcomes as those raised by parents of two different sexes.

Surprise, surprise.

An American study has found that children raised by same sex parents have the same psychological, behavioural and educational outcomes as those raised by male-female couples.

An analysis of 19,000 studies conducted between 1977 and 2013 found that the vast majority of research found the children tend to turn out the same, regardless of the sex of their parents.

“Consensus is overwhelming in terms of there being no difference in children who are raised by same-sex or different- sex parents,” University of Oregon professor and study co-author Ryan Light said.

Mail Online reports the researchers hope their “comprehensive” study will influence the United States’ decision to legalise same sex marriage.

4. Scientists may be on the verge of a chlamydia vaccine.

Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted disease in Australia.

Fortunately, scientists in the United States are close to finding a vaccine for the infection.

The study published in the journal Science found that mice injected with a vaccine were later immune when given a dose of chlamydia.

Jezabel reports a similar study was once tested on humans in India, Ehtiopia and Saudi Arabia — but was abandoned in the 1960s (and not only because it is unethical to test such products on humans).

Sadly, the mice-tested vaccine will not be ready to be tested by humans for another several years.

5. Government under fire for “secretly” sending another refugee baby to Nauru.

A baby was among the 40 people forcibly removed from Wickham Point detention centre today, assumed to be sent to Nauru.

This is the second Australian-born baby to be transferred to off-shore detention in recent months.

According to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, six-month-old baby Asha and her family were woken in the night June 4, and forcibly sent to Nauru at around 2.30am.

The government previously allowed babies born before December 4 to remain in Australian territory while their claims were being processed.

However, ASRC reports around 17 babies have been born after December 4 and risk all being sent to Nauru.

“There is an ever-growing mountain of evidence to show that detention, particularly Nauru detention, is no place for babies or children,” ASRC Detention Rights Advocate Pamela Curr said in a statement.

“The Government is fully aware of how terrible the conditions are on Nauru and have known this for a long time.  Sending babies to Nauru – against the advice of welfare providers on the island – is irresponsible and incredibly cruel.”

In response to Asha’s deportation, the ASRC is holding protest rallies in Sydney and Melbourne.
