Big Madeleine McCann update, region's 250mm rain warning: Australia news live

Hundreds of residents on a tiny island off Panama are having to leave due to rising sea levels.

“We’re a little sad, because we’re going to leave behind the homes we’ve known all our lives, the relationship with the sea, where we fish, where we bathe and where the tourists come, but the sea is sinking the island little by little,” one young woman leaving the island said.

The government has not forced anyone to leave and some have said they will stay until it's no longer possible to. When that time comes is unknown, with storms regularly filling its few streets with water.

There's growing concern Australian kids are addicted to their phones and social media.

States are ramping up their push to raise the age children can use apps such as Facebook and Instagram, but one Australian mother has revealed her creative way to try and get her three teens to stay off social media.

Rhiannon told the ABC she has offered her children aged 15, 13 and 11 $5,000 each if they stay off social media until they finish year 12.

The oldest child has turned down the money in favour of Snapchat use, while the 13-year-old is set on the money. The 11-year-old's decision surely won't be far off.

"It really does make me question my parenting and whether I should conform to the majority, but I have this strong instinct that keeps me going for the health and safety of my children. And they'll thank me one day," Rhiannon said.

There's controversy surrounding a spectacular waterfall in China after it emerged it wasn't as natural as first thought.

A flowing pipe has been spotted and filmed at the top of the 300-metre Yuntai waterfall in Henan province, a site wildly popular with tourists.

The discovery sparked plenty of anger on Chinese social site Weibo, prompting authorities to admit to the pipe's installation and revealed it was to ensure water continued to flow throughout dry periods.

Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii has declared he ‘let my brothers down’ in the wake of a four-game suspension which could end his State of Origin career after just seven minutes.

The NSW centre was given the hefty ban for his sickening shot that knocked Queensland star Reece Walsh out of the contest.

The Blues centre became just the sixth player to be sent off in Origin history – as well as the earliest to be marched from the field – when he launched out of the line and whacked the fullback high and late.

If you're out for breakfast and and an influencer starts an impromptu photoshoot next to you, how would you react?

Well for one popular Gold Coast cafe, they said it wasn't fair on their customers and asked Aussie Karina Irby to wrap it up.

Palm Springs Cafe in Burleigh Heads, known for its trendy Californian desert aesthetic, told the Daily Mail it doesn't allow professional shoots during opening hours and the premises can instead be rented out.

'Not everyone wants to be in the background of a photoshoot," they said.

However Irby, who has more than one million Instagram followers, thought she was within her rights to take a few photos for her clothing brand.

"I thought I could order a bunch of yummy food and drinks, eat and have the girls representing Moana Smile Club at this local café," she said online.

While it was disappointment for Alex de Minaur in the French Open early this morning, there was at least a little bit of joy for his young super fan who has become a star in his own right at Roland Garros.

De Minaur's passionate fan Paul, 14, was kitted out in an Asics outfit perfectly matching with what his hero wears.

Unfortunately de Minaur's 'lucky charm' couldn't work his magic as the Aussie no.1 crashed out in straight sets to Alexander Zverev.

Watch the moment he donned his new outfit below.

Poor Harjeet Singh Rai returned to his Sydney home from work on Tuesday to discover a mountain of tyres in his Blacktown driveway.

Workers were spotted unloading roughly 500 tyres into the driveway with neighbours in disbelief over what is believed to be a mix-up.

Harjeet has no idea who has dumped the tyres but he wants them gone as soon as possible.

“Come, take this back; we’re not going to say anything to you guys because you stack (them) up nicely, so take it nicely because we want to wind up this story,” he told Nine.
