German authorities have moved in on members of a far-right extremist group who were using weapons to prevent migrants from crossing into the country from the Polish border

Officials say over 50 individuals were armed with pepper spray, a bayonet, a machete and batons on the border.

The group is believed to be in support of the Third Way, which is a far-right group with suspected links to neo-Nazi parties.

Third Way has been calling on its members and allies to stand up to immigration over recent months, with an increasing number of migrants arriving in Germany.

Meanwhile, following the group’s forced departure, a vigil was set up in honour of the migrants who are crossing the border.

Organisers say they “don’t want to leave the region to the neo-Nazis, and want to set an example that asylum is and will remain a human right”.

RBA holds rates at 3.6%, shifting investor focus from property to potential stock market gains amid persistent inflation pressures.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has held interest rates at 3.6 percent, signalling a steady approach as inflation pressures persist and prompting investors to reassess their strategies in an uncertain climate.

The decision has shifted attention away from the property market, with experts suggesting the stock market may offer stronger opportunities, especially for those looking to outpace inflation over the long term.

We speak with Dale Gilham from Wealth Within about what the RBA’s call means for investors, why confidence in housing is changing, and what smarter financial choices look like in 2025.

U.S. retail sales weaken, raising concerns about consumer spending and economic resilience ahead of the holiday season.

Retail sales in the U.S. have unexpectedly weakened, raising new questions about consumer strength and the resilience of the economy. As Americans pull back on spending, analysts are watching closely to see whether this signals a broader shift toward caution in the lead-up to the holiday shopping period.

The slowdown has amplified uncertainty around the Federal Reserve’s next move on interest rates, as policymakers weigh mixed economic signals against cooling demand. With some categories falling sharply, economists warn that faltering retail activity could ripple into GDP forecasts and overall market confidence.

Brad Gastwirth from Circular Technologies joins us to break down which categories were hit hardest, why shoppers are becoming more value-conscious, and what this means for the economy heading into 2025.
