<p>The Israeli President says pro-Palestinian demonstrators are 'undermining' the relationship between Israel and Australia. Isaac Herzog is visiting Sydney and the Jewish community, in the wake of the Bondi Beach terror attack. Demonstrations are planned across the country today, to oppose his visit with protesters saying he's not welcome due to the Israeli Government's treatment of Palestinians.A Hong ‌Kong ⁠court ​has sentenced ‌Hong ‌Kong ‌media ​tycoon ⁠Jimmy ‌Lai to ​total ‍of ⁠20 ‌years ⁠in ‌jail. The founder ⁠of the now-shuttered Apple Daily newspaper was convicted last year of two counts of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces, and one count of publishing seditious materials.  He's denied all the charges against him and says he's a political prisoner facing persecution from China with western politicians including Foreign Minister Penny Wong condemning his conviction. and Bad Bunny has made history after delivering a half-time performance at the NFL Super Bowl entirely in Spanish alongside special guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. The Puerto Rican artist is an outspoken ⁠critic of US President Donald ‌Trump's immigration policies, even skipping mainland US cities on his recent tour, out of fear ICE agents would arrest fans. On the big screen behind Bad Bunny as he ended the show was the poignant message, "The only thing more powerful than hate is love".</p>
