Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Thanks to perseverance and people power, offshore wind went from a niche idea to the backbone of the UK power grid.
In the 25 years since the Blyth wind farm was built, the UK’s electricity has gone from being 74% fossil fuels in 2000, to 51% renewables in 2024.
