Leading the bulletin, two people are fighting for life after their Gold Coast home was deliberately set alight. Fire crews managed to put out the blaze, but the gutted property is now a crime scene. Meanwhile in Melbourne, a tobacco shop on Bridge Road has been firebombed in an early‑morning attack. Trams have been halted and the road closed, though the fire has since been extinguished. In another development, the family of the Thai teenager allegedly murdered by an Australian man has taken her body home. An autopsy found she died by strangulation, and her parents want Simon Peter Carman to face the death penalty if convicted. And overseas, sniffer dogs are being used to find survivors after dual earthquakes devastated Venezuela. Spanish emergency teams are searching through tight gaps as the death toll nears two thousand and thousands remain missing. | Subscribe 👉 http://9Soci.al/L72O50GjSJY Join the TODAY team as they bring you the latest in news, current affairs, sports, politi
