This is the week in news and what’s coming up with Claire Kimball and Anna Pykett. We’re starting with Firmus, the AI data centre company whose float fell apart this week. It was set to be the biggest listing since Telstra, and it collapsed in a matter of days. We’ll take you through how it all unfolded and why it’s been so big in the news this week. Then to former Bachelor star and fitness entrepreneur Sam Wood, who has been refused bail on domestic violence charges. And the Christa Pike case in Tennessee - a woman who survived her own execution and woke up in hospital six days later.
