FBI's global hunt for third man

The brothers accused of carrying out the Boston bombings planned to carry out an attack in New York.

The FBI is investigating the United States and overseas to determine whether the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing received training that helped them carry out the attack, the chairman of the US House Homeland Security Committee said.

Republican Michael McCaul spoke a day after US officials disclosed that Russian authorities secretly recorded a telephone conversation in 2011 in which one of the two brothers suspected in the attack, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, vaguely discussed jihad with his mother.

"I think given the level of sophistication of this device, the fact that the pressure cooker is a signature device that goes back to Pakistan, Afghanistan, leads me to believe - and the way they handled these devices and the tradecraft - ... that there was a trainer and the question is where is that trainer or trainers," McCaul told Fox News Sunday.

"Are they overseas in the Chechen region or are they in the United States?" McCaul said.

"In my conversations with the FBI, that's the big question.

They've casted a wide net both overseas and in the United States to find out where this person is. But I think the experts all agree that there is someone who did train these two individuals."

At this point in the investigation, however, Senator Claire McCaskill said there was no evidence that the brothers "were part of a larger organisation, that they were, in fact, part of some kind of terror cell or any kind of direction.''

The Democrat, who's on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told CBS' "Face the Nation" that "it appears, at this point, based on the evidence, that it's the two of them."

Homemade bombs built from pressure cookers have been a frequent weapon of militants in Afghanistan, India and Pakistan. Al-Qaida's branch in Yemen once published an online manual on how to make one.

Investigators are pursuing other "persons of interest" who may be linked to the deadly bombings.

"There are still persons of interest in the United States that the FBI would like to have conversations with," Congressman Mike Rogers, Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told US TV's This Week. He declined to provide a number.

Authorities are also investigating whether Tamerlan had links to an Islamist leader, Gadzhimurad Dolgatov, who led a local cell of the Caucasus Emirate, Russia's most feared Islamist group.

Known as "Robin Hood", he was responsible for dozens of attacks and bombings in Dagestan before being killed in December by Russian forces.

Before he was killed, Tamerlan made several videos where he threatened to kill police officers and anyone who helped them, which he posted on his YouTube channel, CNN reports.

After returning to the US from Dagestan, Tamerlan put the videos up in a folder marked "terrorism".

One was a message recorded by Dolgatov, posing in front of a banner in Arabic script.

"I'm warning you," he said in the video. "I'll kill you just like I'll kill them (police officers). Don't become their pawns. If you have brains, you won't want to die leaving behind widows, orphans and crying mothers. We'll destroy you. If you side with the police, you are helping Satan. I'm warning you."

A Russian Interior Ministry official said: "We're looking into whether the two men met or had any contact. It's odd Tsarnaev should post Dolgatov's video. How come he was even aware of his existence?

"We can't rule out that Tsarnaev was introduced to him. Clearly, he was impressed by him if he posted his video. The question is why?"

A senior US official said: "Dolgatov was an obscure figure with local significance for a short period of time - the time Tamerlan was in Dagestan. The fact that Tamerlan viewed his videos online appears to be significant. It just seems to be too much of a coincidence."

A new government document obtained by ABC news has raised suspicions about Tamerlan and his visits back to Russia.

Speculation surrounds Tamerlan and the possibility that he was being trained in Russia.

The document says: "Such construction would likely require previous knowledge of or additional research into circuitry."

With the Boston marathon bombing suspect in a prison hospital, investigators are pushing forward and abroad to piece together the myriad details of a plot that killed three people and injured more than 260.

Recently, it was revealed that Russian authorities secretly recorded a telephone conversation in 2011 in which one of the Boston bombing suspects vaguely discussed jihad with his mother, officials say.

In another conversation, the mother of now-dead bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was recorded talking to someone in southern Russia who is under FBI investigation in an unrelated case.

Had the conversations been revealed earlier, they might have been enough evidence for the FBI to initiate a more thorough investigation of the Tsarnaev family.

Russian authorities told the FBI only that they had concerns that Tamerlan and his mother were religious extremists. With no additional information, the FBI conducted a limited inquiry and closed the case in June 2011.

Two years later, authorities say Tamerlan and his brother, Dzhohkar, detonated two homemade bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring more than 260.

Tamerlan was killed in a police shootout and Dzhohkar is under arrest.

How did Boston terror suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev - whose mother was also on a terror database - slip through the cracks, despite warning signs?

In the past week, Russian authorities turned over to the United States information it had on 26-year-old Tamerlan and his mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, ethnic Chechens who emigrated from southern Russia to the Boston area about 11 years ago.

In early 2011, the Russian FSB internal security service intercepted a conversation between Tamerlan and his mother vaguely discussing jihad, according to US officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The mother of the brothers suspected of carrying out the Boston bombings has lashed out at US authorities.

The two discussed the possibility of Tamerlan going to Palestine, but he told his mother he didn't speak the language there, according to the officials, who reviewed the information Russia shared with the US.

In a second call, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva spoke with a man in the Caucasus region of Russia who was under FBI investigation.

Nothing in the conversation suggested a plot inside the US, officials said.

It was not immediately clear why Russian authorities didn't share more information at the time.

Zubeidat Tsarnaeva has denied that she or her sons were involved in terrorism. She believes her sons have been framed by US authorities.

The sons' father has been hospitalised, preventing his departure for the United States, he says.

Anzor Tsarnaev told Ria Novosti news agency he had left Makhachkala, capital of the Russian republic of Dagestan, for Moscow to catch a flight to the United States but had to be hospitalised due to a sudden rise in his blood pressure.

Speaking from his home in Makhachkala in Russia's south, the father of the Tsarnaev brothers suspected of carrying out the Boston Marathon attack says his children were framed. Deborah Gembara reports.

"I am in hospital but not in Moscow," Mr Tsarnaev said, refusing to say where he was.

"Due to the illness I've decided to put off for the moment my journey to the United States."

The parents of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects have retreated to a village in southern Russia to shelter from the spotlight and abandoned plans for now to travel to the United States.

Anzor Tsarnaev said he believed he would not be allowed to see his surviving son Dzhokhar.

"Unfortunately I can't help my child in any way. I am in touch with Dzhokhar's and my own lawyers. They told me they would let me know (what to do)," Tsarnaev said in an interview in the village where he relocated with the suspects' mother.

He agreed to the face-to-face meeting on condition that the village's location in the North Caucasus, a string of mainly Muslim provinces in southern Russia, not be disclosed.

The mother of the Boston bomb suspects says it is all a set-up and her elder son was controlled by the FBI for years. Lily Grimes reports.

Gai v Singo: WTF is going on?

We'll assume he wasn't blowing up about her fashion sense Source: The Daily Telegraph

Businessman John Singleton has sacked trainer Gai Waterhouse following a clash on live television.

ON THE surface, the John Singleton/Gai Waterhouse bust-up is a story about racing. But it's actually about much more than that.

It is about friendship, family, integrity, trust and the fundamental problems with having an upstart 32-year-old bookmaker in every Australian lounge room.

If you've missed the finer points, here's a super quick five point summary, followed by five early lessons from this still unfolding yarn:

1. THE BLOW-UP
Colourful businessman and horse owner John Singleton splits acrimoniously on live television with his long-term trainer Gai Waterhouse. Gai is the mum of Tom Waterhouse, whose relentless self-promotion has made him one of Australia's most disliked public figures.

2. THE FAILURE
The split occurs because Singleton has a mare called More Joyous engaged in a big race called the All aged Stakes at Randwick. More Joyous is no Black Caviar, but it once won eight races in a row. On Saturday it runs second last.

3. THE ALLEGATIONS
Singo blows up after the race, not because his horse has lost, but because he says a friend heard from Tom Waterhouse that the horse had health issues and was "no chance" of winning. The inference is that Tom must have got that info from Gai. Tom Waterhouse denies the allegations and is considering legal action.

4. THE FOOTY STAR TIE-IN
It then emerges that Waterhouse tipped Channel Nine commentator Andrew Johns a different horse to More Joyous in a casual interaction during Friday Night Footy. On The Sunday Footy Show, Johns says Waterhouse said nothing negative about the horse's health. He also reveals that he himself backed More Joyous. Meanwhile, Waterhouse says he lost $300K on the race, thereby inferring that he wanted More Joyous to win, and believed it could win.

5. THE TENSE PHONE CALL
There is also reportedly a phone call between mother and son where Gai asks Tom if he has told anyone More Joyous was not well enough to win. Tom says 'no, Mum'. A more thorough inquest will take place next Monday, headed by NSW chief steward Ray Murrihy.

SO THERE'S YOUR SUMMARY. NOW HERE ARE FIVE THINGS WE'VE LEARNED SO FAR...

1. THE FAMILY DEFENCE DOESN'T CUT IT
The Waterhouses really have to stop defending each other in public. Three weeks ago, Gai Waterhouse said everyone should lay off her son because he was such a productive young Australian. Today Tom Waterhouse has defended his Mum saying "if anyone does not think Mum is out there trying to win every time, they don't know her". Gee, that settles it, then.

2. PEOPLE NOW LIKE TOM EVEN LESS
Tom Waterhouse is everywhere, bombarding people of all ages with his gambling information. The guy has a weird role on Nine's Friday Night Footy which is passed off as editorial content when  really he's just spruiking gambling odds. People don't like him for that. Now that he's embroiled in all this, they like him even less.

3. SOMETHING LIKE THIS WAS ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN
When you're hanging out with that many sports stars who enjoy a bet, and when you're a bookie whose Mum is a top horse trainer, there will always be people like John Singleton who question the information chain. The words "conflict of interest" come very strongly to mind.

4. THE WATERHOUSE NAME TAKES ANOTHER BATTERING
Tom's father Robbie and grandfather Bill were warned off Australian racecourses for being implicated in the Fine Cotton horse substitution scandal in the 1980s. Tom plays on his family's gambling knowledge in his ads, as though it's something people should respect. In truth, many people still haven't got over Fine Cotton.

5. RACING IS BACK TO NORMAL AFTER BLACK CAVIAR
Two weeks ago, racing was in the headlines for a fast horse which always tried its hardest and won every race it contested. Children loved the horse, and racing momentarily seemed like a happy, open, family kind of sport. How very quaint that suddenly seems.

What $12 billion actually looks like

Confirming newspaper reports today, Ms Gillard told a forum in Canberra the government's revenue had slid $12 billion since the last budget update in October.

BY now we all know the government's revenue has slid by $12 billion since the last Budget update in October.

Sure, it's a big number, but what does it actually mean?

Thankfully the helpful people at Deloitte Access Economics have worked it out.

Read: Federal Budget decisions "grave" and "urgent"

Deloitte is not saying Prime Minister Julia Gillard should do any of these things immediately (in fact, it would be ugly if she did) but this is a simple way to understand how big the $12 billion shortfall is.

The PM offers an analogy to help explain the cuts that will need to be made in the upcoming budget.

If the shortfall was made good entirely from spending it would require:

- Entirely abolishing all Family Tax Benefit A payments (saving $14 billion).
- Or stopping all funding to the States for health care (saving $13 billion).
- Or stopping all funding to schools (saving $13 billion).
- Or stopping all funding to aged care homes (saving $8 billion), as well as community care ($2 billion) and veterans' care ($2 billion).
- Or cutting all Medicare payments by two-thirds (saving $12 billion).
- Or cutting pensions to the aged by a third (saving $12 billion).
- Or abolishing all disability pensions (saving $15 billion).

Or if the shortfall was made good entirely from taxes and 'tax expenditures':

- Extending capital gains tax to the family home (raising – eventually – $15 billion a year).
- Or raising the current 45 per cent rate to 66 per cent (raising $12 billion).
- Or having the current 45 per cent rate cut in at incomes of $65,000 rather than $180,000 (raising $12 billion).
- Or raising the 32.5 per cent rate to 37 per cent (that is, do away with that rate completely, raising $10 billion).
- Or lowering the $18,200 threshold to $12,500 (raising $13 billion, but you'd be taxing about an extra 650,000 people, including many pensioners).
- Or taxing all superannuation contributions at marginal tax rates (raising $14 billion).
- Or raising the rate of company tax from 30 per cent to 35 per cent (raising $12 billion – but also adding to franking credits that would cut the personal tax take).
- Or adding 30 cents a litre in additional taxes on the price of petrol (raising $12 billion).
- Or tripling the existing taxes on cigarettes (raising $12 billion, and adding about $17 to a pack of 25 cigarettes).
- Or lifting the carbon tax to $60 dollars a tonne and removing the future link to the European carbon price (raising $12 billion).

Summary: It's A LOT of money.

Baby sons died in shower: inquest

An inquest has heard two little boys died in a bathroom while their exhausted mother was unconcious or asleep for 10 hours.

AN exhausted Miranda Hebble put her two young sons in the shower and closed the bathroom door.

She fell asleep and woke up about 10 hours later to find water overflowing from the shower - and both boys dead.

The WA coroner is examining the deaths of Lochlan James Stevens, aged two, and Malachi Isaac Stevens, 10 months, who died in November 2008.

Ms Hebble, then aged 22, was caring for her sons alone in Perth while the boys' father, Christopher Stevens, then aged 23, was working on a fly-in fly-out basis.

The couple have since separated.

Counsel assisting the inquest, Kate Ellson, said Ms Hebble had no history of mental illness or drug and alcohol abuse.

She was a quiet person and had been struggling with sleep because of Malachi's restlessness.

Constable Daniel William Herbert O'Rourke testified that in February 2008 he was called to an incident in which Malachi had been left in a car while Ms Hebble returned a DVD to a store.

The baby, then five weeks old, was hot, crying, sweaty and red in the face when he was pulled from the car, he said.

Ms Ellson said in her opening address that on November 7, Lochlan had smeared faeces from his nappy on floors, walls and Malachi's cot, so their mother took the boys into the shower.

She left to fetch something but passed out or fell asleep, the court heard.

When she woke up 10 hours later, she found Malachi floating in the shower on his side, with bruises on his cheek.

Lochlan was lying on the bathroom floor with blood coming from his mouth and had a scratch on his forehead and a mark on his stomach, Ms Ellson said.

In a call to emergency services, Ms Hebble said: "I passed out and the plug in the shower got plugged up ... and the shower filled up ... and they're not breathing. They're dead.''

The boys were pronounced dead at 2am the following morning.

A post mortem examination could not reach a definitive conclusion, but indicated drowning may have caused Malachi's death, while Lochlan may have suffered exhaustion, hunger and possibly hypothermia, Ms Ellson said.

Drowning might also have contributed to his death, the court heard.

Ms Hebble was comforted by family members as she sat quietly in court for some of the proceedings.

Outside court, Mr Stevens told reporters he was hoping to get an "end to the story'' to help everyone move on.

Mr Stevens said he now had a wife and daughter but still missed his boys.

He described Lochlan as a "terror'', causing "chaos'' like many children his age and said Malachi had "iron lungs that could scream the house down''.

Mr Stevens said he wanted to know how and why they died.

"Give me an answer that I can actually use,'' he said.

The inquest continues.

• Desperate dad reunited with abducted daughter
• Brozzi Lunetta trying to help ex-wife leave the country
• Trio plan to evade authorities until agreement struck

A DESPERATE dad has been reunited with his abducted daughter after his decade-long search for her ended near Sydney yesterday.

But in a bizarre twist, American father Brozzi Lunetta has gone into hiding with the ex-wife who stole her from him.

Camilla Ellefsen Lunetta abducted their daughter Reya from the United States in 2002 amid a bitter custody dispute.

"Today we're basically hiding from any kind of police action and trying to find some way to get them safely back to Norway and to get them into some sort of protection from the Norwegian Government," he told news.com.au this morning.

"Right now we're still in the Sydney area. They're safe and very close by.

"(Camilla) is a Norwegian citizen who we're trying to stop from going to prison in America (from where Reya was abducted) and have returned to her own country."

The 40-year-old father, now based in Norway, returned to Australia last week after news.com.au revealed that Ms Ellefsen Lunetta and Reya were living in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

Yesterday Mr Lunetta and a Today Tonight television crew confronted the pair at a property about an hour's drive from Sydney after receiving a tip-off.

The pair had reportedly been hiding there for more than a week.

In a strange twist, mother and daughter are now holed up with Mr Lunetta. News.com.au is not aware of their exact location.

"Camilla's very worried and fearful," he said.

"She wants to just disappear with her people and have them try to get her out (of Australia) on a fake passport or something.

"It's (been made) very clear to her that if she does a runner we'll have no choice but to call the police.

"There will be complete absolute police action if she disappears from the custody we have."

Mr Lunetta said his ex-wife could flee again.

"I'm close by but I'm not in the same room," he said.

"They have their own bedroom and a shared bed. They're together, they're safe."

Channel Seven, which has paid for Mr Lunetta's flights and accommodation during this trip, has not responded to questions from news.com.au about whether the television station is also paying for Ms Ellefsen Lunetta's accommodation.

"Nobody is being hidden, they are acting of their own free will," a Seven spokeswoman said.

"We are under no obligation to report this matter to the authorities.

"Both parents have indicated to us they want to deal solely with the Norwegian Embassy."

Mr Lunetta said they were trying to "keep very low key" until the consulate re-opened tomorrow.

"I'm absolutely completely hiding from (authorities) right now," he said.

"No one knows where I'm at except Today Tonight.

"We're praying the consulate will be open tomorrow because to hide for three or four days will be impossible."

Mr Lunetta said he hoped the trio could leave Australia within days.

"We just need to get through another 24 hours and tomorrow we can get the Norwegian Government and the Australian Government on the same page as to what's best for the child," he said.

"Hopefully by Saturday we can all be on a flight back to Norway.

"I've said all along, I don't want Camilla to go to jail and that's what she's facing now.

"There's an election coming up in Australia and does the government really want to see another kid taken away by the AFP screaming and crying? I don't think so."

An Australian Federal Police spokeswoman said they could not act on new information without orders from the Family Court.

The FBI recently confirmed its investigation was ongoing. A felony California state warrant was issued in 2002 for Camilla Lunetta for deprivation of child custody. A federal warrant for Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution was issued in U.S. District Court (federal) in 2004 after the District Attorney requested assistance.

"Obviously, with good reason, Camilla's very scared of the authorities, she doesn't want to go to prison and she doesn't want to be separated from her daughter for years," Mr Lunetta said.

"I've offered her that if we can get them to Norway she will have primary custody.

"I don't want my daughter to see her mum taken away in handcuffs. That's what I'm trying to avoid."

Ms Ellefsen Lunetta has been unlawfully in the country since 2003.

A NSW Police spokesperson said that under the Migration Act 1958 NSW Police Officers can detain an unlawful non-citizen.

"Police liaise with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship to determine whether or not a person is lawfully in Australia," they said.

A Department of Immigration spokeswoman said they could not discuss individual cases for privacy reasons.

"Any person found to be in the country without a valid visa may be subject to compliance action."

This morning Mr Lunetta updated his hundreds of Facebook followers.

"EVERYBODY PLEASE READ - I am with Camilla & Reya, literally hiding them from the potential arrest and extradition back to California for a prison sentence for felony kidnapping," he wrote.

"We have been trying for hours to get the Norwegian government to intervene, work with the Aussies to deport back to Norway for the visa violation. But the Norwegian Government has been unwilling to do a f***ing thing.

"If you are in Norway PLEASE put pressure on the authorities to Help This Child, my daughter. –Brozzi"

Mr Lunetta told news.com.au that his ex-wife was cooperating.

"Absolutely, as much as she is capable," he said.

"She's been running this show underground for the last 10 years.

"She thought she'd be able to get out of here without me finding her but I've found her.

"Given the situation she's in she knows she doesn't have the leverage she used to have."

He said his daughter was doing well considering her confusing ordeal.

"She's OK. By bed time last night she was cool," he said.

"For Reya it's overwhelming. She's not scared of me so I can tell there's been no vilification.

"The possibility that my daughter will be with me in Norway in a month … this could have such a happy ending if we could just get off the rocks."

Both mother and child remain listed as missing on the Family Court of Australia website.

Ten dumb things the bombers did

The FBI have released this footage of CCTV in Boston of the two suspects they believe they are searching for in relation to the Boston bombings.

This combination released by the FBI show images taken from surveillance video of what the FBI are calling suspect number 2 (Dzhokhar Tsarnaev) , left, in white cap,and suspect number 1 (Tamerlan) , right, in black cap, as they walk near each other through the crowd in Boston on Monday, April 15, 2013, before the explosions at the Boston Marathon.

TAMERLAN and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev carried out a devastating attack on the Boston Marathon.

Using improvised bombs made from pressure cookers bought at Macy's, the Russian-born brothers detonated two devices at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and wounding more than 250.

But their behaviour during the attack and after begs the question: What were they thinking?

Three days after the outrage, the pair were involved in a dramatic gun battle with police on the streets of Boston. Tamerlan was gunned down, then run over by his younger brother as he fled. The 26-year-old died at the scene.

Dzhokhar, 19, was found several hours later hiding in a boat in a suburban backyard. He allegedly tried to kill himself but failed.

He has since been charged with use of a Weapon of Mass Destruction and malicious destruction of property resulting in death.

Investigators are unsure if the brothers - described by US Vice President Joe Biden as "two twisted, perverted, cowardly, knockoff jihadists" - were part of a wider terror cell in the US.

If their actions are anything to go by, they might also qualify as "strangest".

Here's 10 decisions they made that just didn't make sense.

1. Wear a baseball cap backwards and no sunglasses.

As CCTV footage shows, Dzhokhar made little effort to prevent cameras from capturing his face on the day of the bombings, making him easy to identify when the FBI released security camera images. Tamerlan, in contrast, wore dark glasses and had his cap on the correct way, partially concealing his face.

2. Not react to the explosions.

In the days after the bombings, investigators studied all available photos and surveillance videos of the blast area searching for abnormal reactions. The complaint filed in federal court this week specifically cites Dzhokhar's reaction to the first explosion as a giveaway.

"Approximately 30 seconds before the first explosion, Suspect 2 (Dhzokhar) lifts his phone to his ear as if he is speaking on his cell phone, and keeps it there for approximately 18 seconds," the FBI's complaint states.

"A few seconds after he finishes the call, the large crowd of people around him can be seen reacting to the first explosion. Virtually every head turns to the east (towards the finish line) and stares in that direction in apparent bewilderment and alarm.

"Bomber Two, virtually alone among the individuals... appears calm. He glances to the east and then calmly but rapidly begins moving to the west."

3. Leave their car at the repair shop, then go pick it up.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Dzhokhar stopped by a mechanic in Watertown on Tuesday to pick up the Mercedes he'd brought in for repairs.

"The younger brother was jittery, said Gilberto Junior, who works at the shop. "He was biting his nails, and when he was talking to me, his legs were like this," Mr. Junior said, shaking one leg. "He said, 'I need the car now. I need the car right now.' "

4. Stay in Boston.

The second bomb exploded at 2:49pm (Boston time) last Monday. It wasn't until 10.49pm Thursday (Boston time) that the brothers carjacked a Mercedes.

What did they do in the interim three days? Go to the gym, check in on their broken car, and, in Dzhokhar's case, go to a party on the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth campus.

During the three-day window in which their involvement was unknown, they made no attempt to flee, and when they did finally make a run for it, they stuffed it up.

5. Run out of cash.

When Dzhokhar carjacked the Mercedes on Thursday night (Boston time) and took their hostage, he and his brother needed cash badly.

Using their victim's ATM card and PIN number, they withdrew $800, before they reached the account limit. Holding up a stranger for money suggests no planning went into any getaway. The fact they hadn't budgeted and had to resort to such desperate measures helped alert them to the authorities.

6. Not understand how ATMs work.

After reaching the daily withdrawal limit at one machine, the Tsarnaevs decided to try their luck at two different machines.  Did they not realise ATMs are part of an interconnected system? It was while they were hunting a working ATM that they ended up, coincidentally, at a 7-11 in Cambridge around the same time it was the scene of an armed robbery, and were spotted on the store security camera.

7. Confess to the hostage.

According to the FBI's complaint, when Dzhokhar got into the Mercedes, he immediately told the driver, "Did you hear about the Boston explosion? I did that." That meant the brothers' cover would be immediately blown if the driver escaped.  Guess what happened next ....

8. Stop for a snack and allow hostage to escape.

The Los Angeles Times reported that the hostage escaped after the brothers stopped at a petrol station to buy snacks. The unidentified driver fled to another petrol station to call police. He was able to describe his car, the number plate and his captors. From there, the manhunt was on in earnest.

9. Keep the hostage's phone.

Maybe they panicked, but for some reason, the brothers continued on in the carjacked Mercedes without their hostage. But they did have his phone, which allowed police to track their location via GPS, accordng to Time magazine.

10. Bring a BB gun.

Maybe not crucial to the case, but the weapons used by the two suspects were, according to police: a pressure-cooker bomb, seven improvised explosive devices (IEDs), an M4 carbine, two handguns, and a BB gun - which is an airgun originally sold as a toy in the US. Why bring a BB gun?

Is that you, Hermione? Watson turns bad

Emma Watson portrays a bad girl in the films newly released trailer who longs for the life of the rich and famous.

IF Emma Watson can't shed her Hermione Granger image after this film, then she never will.

To her millions of young fans, she will always be known as the lovable Hogwarts geek. But Watson has swapped her Gryffindor robe and magic wand for a mini-skirt, leather jacket and high heels for her latest role in The Bling Ring.

The 23-year-old plays the lead in the Sofia Coppola-directed flick based on the 'Bling Ring' or 'The Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch' as they were known, whom were arrested in 2009 for a string of break-ins into celebrities' homes.

Watson plays Nicki, the ring leader of the Hollywood-obsessed bunch, and transforms her innocent girl-next-door persona into one of Tinsel Town's most notorious party girls.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower star smokes like a chimney, boldly steals from the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, and even grinds on a pole in one steamy scene.

Gone is the pixie cut, the adorable British accent and the ginger-haired crush. Instead, Emma is rocking sexy long curls, a Valley Girl drawl and has a throng of minions at her beck and call.

The Bling Ring is slated for release in June, 2013.

What did you think of Emma Watson's transformation for the film?

Aussies celebrate Anzacs with pride

AUSTRALIANS have proved the Anzac spirit is alive and well, with huge numbers attending dawn services across the country, as the centenary of Gallipoli nears.

Tens of thousands of people stood motionless in the darkness to remember their fallen countrymen and women as they marked the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915.

As the ceremonies and marches got under way around the world, those celebrating Anzac Day got in to games of Two-Up, while drinking beers and toasting to our fallen and present soldiers who have died and continue to protect our country.

The young and old ventured out to watch and congratulate veterans who marched across our states, and overseas.

Positive news has also emerged today, after a World War II digger who lost his war medals at an Anzac Day service in southern NSW has been reunited with them after his plea went viral on social media.

Maurice Dore, a 90-year-old veteran of the New Guinea campaign, noticed he was missing his medals after leaving a church service in Albury. Soon after, he made a plea via local media in the hope of getting the medals back.

The appeal quickly went viral on social platforms, with more than 60,000 people reportedly viewing it on Facebook in the hours after it was posted.

On seeing the Facebook alert, a local high school student responded that the medals had been handed in to a nearby RSL by an unknown person.

Mr Dore was reunited with his medals - just three hours after they had disappeared.

Meanwhile, in Gallipoli, the dawn service at Anzac Cove was disrupted by a protester.

A middle-aged man started yelling in Turkish just after Australian Veterans Affairs Minister Warren Snowden had finished his address.

Moments after he'd finished speaking, a protester, who later gave his name as Ali Risa Ersoy, started yelling in Turkish.

The man was eventually led away from the commemorative site and questioned by the Turkish gendarmerie.

A Turkish newspaper reporter told AAP the man had been yelling: "The Australian police are trying to kill me."

Local authorities told Australian reporters the man had not been arrested but was being "interrogated"

Extracts from letters of WWI veterans will be read out at the new-look dawn service in Canberra.

A Seven Network cameraman who saw the incident at close quarters said the man pulled out an Australian passport when he was being questioned by the Turkish police.

He waved at Australian reporters while being questioned by authorities.

Numbers of those attending the dawn service were down on previous years with about 5200 making the trek - about a thousand less people than last year and just on half as few from the high in 2005.

But the service's director Tim Evans said interest was fairly static and was likely to increase next year in the final dry run before the balloted 2015 centenary commemorations where the capacity of 10,500 will attend.

Across the nation, thousands turned out to share in the Anzac spirit by marching and honouring their war time heroes.

In Afghanistan, Prime Minister Julia Gillard says Australian soldiers in Afghanistan, taking part in the last Anzac day service at Tarin Kowt, can look back with pride on their service.

"It would have been an incredibly special day today as a time to reflect on what's been achieved ... and to think about what the future will bring," Ms Gillard told Fairfax Radio today.

The prime minister spoke to Captain Ann Miller, who is based in Tarin Kowt, after the dawn service.

Ms Gillard told her that Australians thought about the nation's military personnel based there every day, but especially on Anzac day.

"They are there in the Anzac tradition doing such important and dangerous work for our nation," she said, adding the Australian mission had made much progress in Afghanistan and there was so much to be proud of.

Crowds gathered across the nation as Victoria Cross recipient Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith recited letters from his mates, both fallen and fighting, in a moving tribute to Diggers on Anzac day.

Capt Miller described the Tarin Kowt service as a "very beautiful''.

"The chief of army (David Morrison) gave a very stirring speech, and then when we saw the dawn break, as the flag was raised the breeze picked it up," she said.

Most Australian troops will leave Afghanistan by year's end as part of Australia's withdrawal from Tarin Kowt.

In France, Australia's history, including the Anzac legend, belongs to all who live in it whether they are born there or immigrate, Foreign Minister Bob Carr has told a commemorative service in France.

"All of us linked across the world by the same duty to honour and remember, and by the same sense of the loss and waste of war," he said.

The answer to why so many were drawn to such services could be found in the men who gave their lives - a cross-section of the Australian people.

Senator Carr said a fifth of those who served in the First World War had been immigrants to Australia, including the great general Sir John Monash.

"This serves to remind us that we were then and remain today a nation of immigrants," he said.

"That the more recent arrivals are part of our living history and that all the history of modern Australia, including the story of Anzac, belongs to them equally wherever they were born."

Huge crowds have gathered to honour Australia's fallen soldiers at Sydney's Anzac dawn service.

French veterans affairs minister Kader Arif said it was unthinkable today that any nation would send one-tenth of its population overseas to fight on behalf of another country.

"You have fought in France as though this country was your own," he told the service.

"Today we welcome you here as our brothers."

The wartime link between Australia and France was also commemorated in Canberra, with about 150 people attending a service at the French embassy.

In London, thousands of Australians and New Zealanders have gathered in London's Hyde Park for an Anzac Day dawn service. A mild morning greeted the crowd at the Australian War Memorial.

Opposition foreign affairs spokeswoman Julie Bishop attended the ceremony and will lay a wreath.

A wreath-laying parade and ceremony at the Cenotaph on Whitehall and a memorial service at Westminster Abbey will be held later on Thursday.

The Australian and New Zealand war memorials in London are located diagonally opposite each other and take turns to hold the dawn service in alternate years.

Anzac Day commemorations have taken place in London since 1916.

It's estimated about 300,000 Australians and 200,000 New Zealanders reside in the UK.

In Sydney, former Defence Force chief Peter Cosgrove wants families to dig out the diaries and letters of World War I diggers and share their stories with the nation 100 years on.

Around 40,000 people paid tribute to Australia's fallen soldiers at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne.

General Cosgrove, chairman of the NSW Centenary of Anzac Committee, marched in Sydney on Anzac Day and said the next five years was a time for sharing stories of the 1914-18 war.

He marched with the 9th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment and told reporters the cheers from the crowd were uplifting for the veterans.

"People wearing grandpa's medals, great-grandpa's medals, turned up and marched with the veterans who are still up and about," Gen Cosgrove said.

"To me that's special ... I like the idea that there's a transference of something important within family groups from one generation to the next."

In Townsville north of Queensland, Prime Minister Julia Gillard said Australian children will be the driving force behind Anzac day for ''all of time''.

The PM said she is encouraged by the the number of young people attending Anzac day services around the country.

''The thing I always look for is the number of children and there are just more and more and more,'' she told ABC TV.

Parents often freely admitted to her that it was their children who ''dragged'' them to services.

''It's actually the children who are driving the next level of engagement.

''I think that means that for all of time we will commemorate Anzac day and think about who we are as Australians on that day.''

The director of Veterans SA has talked about the pain inherited by the families of soldiers killed in war.

Ms Gillard said for her personally the day was about the ''spirit of being Australian, and our history and what's forged us and shaped us''.

One thing the Prime Minister won't be doing today is enjoying a rum and milk at the local RSL.

''I'll have to rule that out,'' Ms Gillard said.

After the service, the PM said it will take some years to assess the full extent of services needed to support veterans of Afghanistan and other recent conflicts.

Ms Gillard was responding to the concerns of Victoria Cross recipient Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith who worries wounded diggers could be forgotten as the Afghanistan conflict fell off the radar.

In Papua New Guinea, Governor-General Quentin Bryce has paid her respects to current and former Australian soldiers at an Anzac Day service at the Bomana war cemetery.

At this morning's ceremony, Ms Bryce was joined by PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill and Australian High Commissioner to PNG Deborah Stokes, as well as her PNG counterpart Sir Michael Ogio.

More than 2000 people armed with glow sticks crowded into Bomana, located about 19km outside of Port Moresby.

''Wherever we come from and wherever we go, this is a day that gives pause and silence to our journey,'' Ms Bryce said in a short speech.

''A moment to remember the Australian soldiers, merchant navy men and airmen - and members of the Papua New Guinea local forces - who died defending this territory and ours.

''The tranquility of this clearing belies the desperate, bloody confrontations of the Kokoda campaign that took place beyond.''

Bomana is final testing place to more than 3000 soldiers killed serving in Papua New Guinea.

Australia and PNG formed close ties during World War II, with Australian soldiers being aided by locals known as Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels.

Ms Bryce will later fly to Isurava and Kokoda to pay her respects at memorials in both locations.

Anzac Day will mark the fourth day of Ms Bryce's five-day state visit to PNG.

Delivering the Anzac Day address at Hellfire Pass in Thailand, Defence Minister Stephen Smith paid tribute to former Australian and New Zealand prisoners of war, saying the way they looked out for each still rightly inspired the two nations.

Mr Smith said one in five prisoners, including 2800 Australians who never came home, perished as they worked on the infamous Thai-Burma Railway during World War II.

Mr Smith said the most notorious stretch of the railway claimed the lives of 700 POWs in just four months in 1943.

''Those POWs who did survive suffered crippling damage to their health,'' Mr Smith said.

Many died after the war at a significantly higher rate than other veterans.

''The endurance of the Australian and New Zealand POWs and the way they looked out for each other still rightly inspires our two nations.''

Four former Australian POWs have returned to Thailand on a pilgrimage to the place where they worked as prisoners of the Japanese 70 years ago.

Mr Smith said he was honoured by their presence.

''Being in this place will be a deeply poignant reminder for them of their own endurance, of fallen mates, of their bond with those who suffered alongside them, of those who helped them survive,'' he said.

In Canberra, Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith has marched with the children of his fallen comrades in Canberra to mark ANZAC Day.

Keegan Locke, 17, the son of Sergeant Matthew Locke and the children of Sergeant Blaine Diddams - Elle-Lou, 16, and Henry, 14 - took part in the National Ceremony at the Australian War Memorial today.

Corporal Roberts-Smith spoke with the kids and comforted them before the walk. 

Corporal Roberts-Smith made a moving tribute to Sgt Locke during the dawn service in Canberra, reciting the words of the son of Matthew Locke, killed in action in Afghanistan's Chora Valley in 2007.

''Whenever something challenges me and I think of giving up I can feel dad looking down on me cheering me on. His death left a hole in my heart but his spirit has given me the motivation to push myself further than ever before,'' wrote Keegan Locke.

Corporal Roberts-Smith paused and looked emotional as he read the words.

"I truly believe he has given me the gift of the Anzac spirit," he said.

Corporal Roberts-Smith spoke of a young soldier whose wife gave birth while he was in Afghanistan.

The soldier's wife cried as she told her husband what the baby boy looked like.

"Just like you she says, but with red hair," Corporal Roberts-Smith read.

Another soldier recalled killing on the battlefield.

"I felt so guilty and I still do."

More than 30,000 attended the service at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, a large increase on previous years.

Corporal Roberts-Smith is the most public face of a call for younger veterans not only to attend dawn services but to march in parades.

Speaking after the service Corporal Roberts-Smith said he hoped the service today, and particularly the readings, helped give Australians an insight into what serving personnel went through.

''Particularly in Afghanistan - I don't think a lot of information comes out about what we do there,'' he said.

''It's still a real war and there are a lot of people going through it.''

Corporal Roberts-Smith said he had to rehearse his readings ''a couple of times'' because of the emotion behind them.

''The writings are from the guys hearts and to me, I know what they've done and what they've been through and yeah it is emotional.'' he said.

''The idea today was not to talk about the guts and blood it was to talk about the emotion and what people go through and what it means for them to serve. That's what's important and that's why we do it.''

The Anzac Day dawn service at the Australian War Memorial has featured some innovations, among them readings of accounts of Afghanistan by Australian servicemen and their families.

From midnight images of Australian servicemen and women, accompanied by the names of iconic battlefields from over a century of conflicts, were projected onto the Memorial building.

Excerpts from letters and diaries of Australians who experienced firsthand war were also read out from 4.30am.

War Memorial director and former defence minister Brendan Nelson said today's service was ''extraordinary''.

''From my perspective here today I think the dawn service has been an extraordinary event and I am very proud of all our staff and volunteers who made it happen,'' Dr Nelson said.

''Everyone we have spoken to has said we have more people here today than last year. It looks in excess of 30,000.''

A national ceremony will be held in Canberra from 10.15am, attended by Tony Abbott.

Mr Abbott said Anzac Day is the most sacred day in our national life.

''Today, we honour all who have served our country in war and in peace,'' Mr Abbott said in a statement.

''Australia is a better place because of their service and the world is a safer place because of their sacrifice.''

Corporal Roberts-Smith will be accompanied by the children of Sergeant Locke and Sergeant Blaine Diddams, both killed in Afghanistan in the march at the war memorial later on this morning.

As well as the readings from Afghanistan, the memorial displayed the names of iconic Australian battles which were have flashed onto the side of the memorial building - Lone Pine, Long Tan, Gallipoli and many more - as thousands in Canberra gathered for the Anzac Day dawn service.

And with them have appeared the images of Australian men and women taken in more than a century of conflict.

The dawn service outside the memorial has attracted ever increasing crowds - an estimated 25,000 last year -with the expectation of a record much crowd as the centenary of World War I and the Gallipoli landing approaches.

The dawn service will be followed by the Anzac Day indigenous commemoration at the memorial behind the war memorial complex.

Australia plans to have the majority of troops out of Afghanistan by December.

Currently around 1600 Australian servicemen and women are in the war-torn nation.

In Sydney, a parade of 20,000 serving and former defence force personnel is setting off in Sydney, 98 years to the day since the landings at Gallipoli.

Marchers and bands gathered around Martin Place for the 9am (AEST) start of the Anzac day Parade, which will pass the Cenotaph before heading up George Street and on to Hyde Park.

With no surviving World War I diggers to take part this year, those who served will be represented by a memorial horse and the flags of units that fought in that conflict.

NSW Governor Marie Bashir will lead the parade that features more than 45 military, cadet, college and school bands.

Former Defence Force chief General Peter Cosgrove, chair of the NSW Centenary Committee, will march with the 9th Battalion Royal Australian Regiment.

''I'll get in the ranks with the boys and we sort of shuffle around . . . I'm always more focussed on the bloke in front because you've got to stay in step, that's sometimes a challenge,'' he told the Seven Network.

During the parade there will be flyovers of RAAF Hawk fighter trainer and aircraft from the Historical Aircraft Society.

Earlier, thousands filled Sydney's Martin Place for a dawn service and heard the Anzac spirit continues to inspire Australian servicemen and women in current conflicts across the world.

Tim Barrett, Commander Australian Fleet, gave the Anzac Day address to a sombre crowd at Martin Place.

''It was on this day that Australia's national identity was forged in the courage and determination of our young men,'' he said.

''Their fighting prowess, irrepressible humour and sense of mateship would come to symbolise the triumph and the spirit over adversity and defeat.

''It is this Anzac spirit that shows us not who we are intrinsically as Australians but who we want to be as a nation.

''It has inspired Australian servicemen and women for almost a century and it continues to inspire those who are right now deployed to conflicts across the world serving our nation.

''It is a time to think of the 3000 or so men and women of the Australian Defence Force who are currently serving with great distinction overseas from South Sudan, Egypt to the Middle East, Afghanistan, in the Southeast Asian region and the South Pacific.''

Among those in the crowd was Blue Mountains resident Michael Adams, who was draped in military medals.

''My father was in World War II in New Guinea and my great grandfather was killed over in France in 1917 so I come here every year to honour them, as well remember those who have been left behind,'' Mr Adams said.

Vietnam veteran Col Kelson has attended the dawn service in Sydney for 28 years.

''Why wouldn't you come,'' the 64-year-old said.

''Let's face it, there's lots of blokes that aren't; never had the opportunity to be here today.

''It's all about them.''

Wreaths were laid at the Martin Place cenotaph by Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore, NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell, state Opposition Leader John Robertson and federal MP Tanya Plibersek.

Special guests NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell and retired Australian Army general Peter Cosgrove were due to attend the service too.

In Brisbane, more than 20,000 people cheered on veterans of wars past and present as the Anzac day march wound through the city centre.

Super Hornets shot through Brisbane's clear blue skies to kick start the march at 10am (AEST).

Jeeps and buggies carried some of the World War II veterans, including one of a few surviving World War II Rats of Tobruk, Captain Neil Russell.

Parade organisers say WWII veterans' numbers are dropping with just 17 at today's parade.

Three former RAAF pilots, who served in the Vietnam War, Ron Mitchell, 65, Lachie Milne, 62, and John Thynne, 62, told AAP they are pleased to see the number of well-wishers grow every year.

All three had mates who died in the war and had fathers and grand fathers who fought in World War I and II.

''I spend a lot of the earlier part of the day thinking about my dad and my granddad. I get teary just thinking of it,'' Mr Mitchell told AAP.

''I'm proud of them and everyone else for what they did.''

He says they always look forward to having a drink with mates after the march and sharing war stories.

Up to 18,000 people filled ANZAC Square in Brisbane's inner city for a dawn service.

All but about 100 ignored the invitation to beat the crowd and watch the event live on screens in King George Square.

There were old diggers glistening with medals and young diggers standing in suits.

Some people dressed up, others came in warmer tracksuits and groups of school children stood in uniform.

As the Reveille drifted over those remembering, some broke into a sob, but others stood tall.

Tony Smith, a Vietnam veteran who organised the dawn service, says it's fantastic so many showed up.

''For me it's great, my grandfather fought on the Western Front and my dad was in Tobruk,'' he told AAP.

''And I remember my own mates in Malaya and Vietnam.

''Everyone here has someone or something to meditate on today, even if it's just an idea.''

Dawn services to remember the fallen

In her address, the Governor of Queensland Penelope Wensley reminded the crowd that Anzac Day was, in the midst of sorrow, to "celebrate the Anzac spirit" 98 years after the legend was born on the shores of Gallipoli.

Ninety-five-year-old Neil Russell, a veteran of the Middle East and the Pacific, will be just one of many living stories in the Queensland capital's march.

As a 25-year-old first lieutenant, he helped stop the Japanese from taking Port Moresby in the 1942 Battle of Milne Bay.

He says when the order came to fix bayonets and charge, his company "stormed the enemy stronghold".

"And the Japs shot off like a Bondi tram," he said.

In Melbourne, thousands of Victorians are lining St Kilda Road for the annual Anzac Day march, after near-record crowds attended the dawn service.

Crowds have gathered from Flinders St to the Shrine of Remembrance in an emotional salute to our Diggers.

About 45,000 people assembled in the dark for the dawn service and stood in silence as the Last Post rang out across the Shrine.

Commemorations started at 5.45am and will be followed by a wreath laying service and march.

Shrine of Remembrance CEO Denis Baguley says it will be a very traditional service, reflecting the commemoration of Australian service men and women.

''It is a simple service, but one that is very poignant,'' he said.

He said everyone from young children to veterans would be attending the service.

AFL teams Essendon and Collingwood will clash at the MCG in the afternoon in their traditional Anzac Day clash, then the Melbourne Storm play the New Zealand Warriors in the NRL at nearby AAMI Park in the evening.

Meanwhile, former premier Ted Baillieu will head a committee to organise Victorian celebrations for the 100th anniversary of Anzac day.

Premier Denis Napthine said the state government was also making significant improvements to Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance, including a $45 million development of the undercroft to enhance its commemorative and educational capabilities.

In Adelaide, thousands of people have gathered along the route for the annual Anzac day.

Led off by representatives of the New Zealand forces, the march looks set to be blessed by cool and dry conditions.

It will take those marching from the war memorial on North Terrace to the Cross of Sacrifice where the final Anzac day services will be conducted.

Veterans' Affairs Minister Jack Snelling said he was impressed by the respect shown by South Australians to those who served.

''I am heartened by the way South Australians show their appreciation to those who have served in every conflict in which Australia has been involved, from the Boer War to the current conflict in Afghanistan,'' Mr Snelling said.

The dawn service attracted a crowd of more than 5000 in keeping with a recent increase in numbers.

A video featuring Australian diggers fighting at the Somme in France during World War I was played in Adelaide, marking a departure from the traditional service that has been attended by growing crowds in recent years.

The video will form part of a film to mark the Anzac centenary in 2015.

The dawn service heard the families of soldiers killed in war inherit a legacy of mourning and unimaginable emotional pain.

Veterans SA director Bill Denny said 300,000 Australians had died in 51 conflicts from 1863 to the present day.

But he said that national loss ignored the enormous peripheral casualties of war - the millions of men, women and children who mourned or continue to mourn.

''Nowhere is that pain felt more keenly than among the families of someone killed at war,'' he said.

''Many times families had little involvement in the decision of their loved one to enlist.

''Occasionally they were vehemently against it, but could do nothing.

''In every case however they inherit a legacy of mourning and unimaginable emotional pain lasting their lifetime.''

Wreaths were also laid at the memorial with SA Governor Kevin Scarce, acting premier John Rau and Opposition Leader Steven Marshall among those to take part.

Also in South Australia, news research will try to determine what was so special about the Australian diggers who fought in World War I.

University of Adelaide PhD student Lachlan Coleman is comparing the resources available to Australian soldiers to those provided to their British comrades during the Hundred Days Campaign in northern France which paved the way for victory against the Germans.

War historian Robin Prior said little work had been done to understand why the Australian soldiers were so successful.

In Tasmania, the Anzac spirit has been credited for helping Tasmania through its worst bushfires in 50 years.

Tasmania Fire Service representatives are for the first time among those preparing for Hobart's Anzac day march.

The TFS has been invited to join the procession through the capital in the wake of January's devastating bushfires.

The parade made its way to the Hobart Cenotaph in the city's Queen's Domain, where Tasmanian Governor Peter Underwood delivered his annual Anzac day address.

A colourful crowd of several hundred lined major thoroughfare Macquarie Street, in cool and blustery conditions, many in uniform or wearing medals.

Earlier, more than 5000 attended the city's dawn service at the Hobart Cenotaph above the River Derwent.

In temperatures of around 6C, a crowd that spanned the generations heard Anglican Reverend Cyril Dann conduct the service.

The dawn service heard the lessons of sacrifice and mateship taught by Australia's World War One servicemen are still on display when times get tough.

Year nine student Hamish Pickford has recounted the story of an anonymous man who donated the generator from the back of his ute to a queue of people heading back to fire-ravaged Dunalley during January's crisis.

''He left without leaving a name or an address so it could be returned to him,'' Hamish said.

''He just gave it to them, a total stranger to the people of that town to this very day and he gave them hope.''

Ceremonies were taking place in around 50 towns around Tasmania, including a dawn service for the first time at Dunalley in the state's south.

Jodi Willcox brought her two daughters, aged seven and five, to remember their great-great grandfather who fought at Gallipoli.

''I think it's important for the children to understand the sacrifices that they made and that that's why we have all the things that we have today and can live the life we live,'' Ms Willcox told AAP.

Vietnam veteran Jim Lockhart's grandfather fought in the Boer War and his father in World War II.

Mr Lockhart will catch up with his three Tasmanian room-mates from recruitment training at Puckapunyal, having moved back home after 40 years in Queensland.

''It's a wonderful day and people should know what it's all about,'' he said.a large Anzac Day crowd has been greeted by a cold morning at the Hobart Cenotaph above the River Derwent.

Ceremonies will take place in around 50 towns around Tasmania, including a dawn service for the first time at bushfire-hit town Dunalley in the state's south.

A peacekeepers' service at Anglesea Barracks was attended by Australian Greens leader Christine Milne.

Images of terrified soldiers who had "pissed in their own pants'' have been used by Tasmania's governor to implore Australians not to glorify war on Anzac day.

Governor Peter Underwood says the country needs to remember the realities of conflict as the centenary of Anzac day approaches.

He has used a graphic description of an evacuation by a Vietnam War helicopter crewman to make his point.

The crewman describes soldiers being pushed out of an overcrowded chopper so it can take off and escape enemy fire.

He writes those being abandoned were so afraid "some had even pissed in their own pants".

Mr Underwood says Australia is in danger of overlooking the brutal reality of war as the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing approaches in 2015.

"That is what war is really like and, with respect to those who have a different view, I say that is how we should tell it to our children," he said.

The governor said the "real heroes'' of war were those who fought in fear because their country needed them.

"They deserve honouring and remembering as they struggled to overcome the terror and do their duty: not the mythical tall, lean, bronzed and laconic Anzac, enthusiastically and unflinchingly carrying the torch of freedom in the face of murderous enemy fire," he said.

"Australia needs to drop the sentimental myths that Anzac day has attracted.

"The soldiers of Gallipoli must be respectfully, but realistically honoured and each of us must remain resolute about peace."

Tasmanian RSL president and Vietnam veteran Chris Munday hailed the speech, but acknowledged some would find it controversial.

"That was the best speech I ever heard in my life," Mr Munday told AAP.

"That gentleman told the truth.

"It's bloody horrible."

In Perth, Australians have been urged to show the Anzac spirit of mateship and national pride every day, and not just once a year during the veterans march in Perth.

Residents of the Perth capital gathered in record numbers to honour veterans and present day diggers, with 50,000 gathering for the dawn service at Kings Park and even more then lining the streets of the city as hundreds of veterans marched.

Modern-day digger Lieutenant Colonel Bruce Willis, whose grandfather Robert Lowson was one of the original Anzacs to land at Gallipoli in 1915, led WA's main Anzac day march on a new route and with a new focus.

Vietnam veteran, former state and federal politician and now RSL WA president Graham Edwards said in his address the best way to honour the sacrifice of servicemen and women down the years was to live by their code every day.

"Perhaps we ought to better honour our Anzacs in our daily lives with those same qualities of humour, honour, sacrifice, mateship and a fair go for all," Mr Edwards said.

"Indeed if those same qualities were practised by all of us, including our nation's political, corporate and civic leaders, then we could give surely give truth and meaning to the saying - we will remember them."

Lt Col Willis said his pride at being able to lead the march was tempered with a realisation the Anzac tradition needed work to survive.

"The world and Australia have changed,'' Lt Col Willis said.

"But I'm sure those challenges can be met and the RSL can deliver like it did for my grandfather's generation."

WA governor Malcolm McCusker echoed the sentiment, saying Anzac day was about more than just the landing at Gallipoli in 1915 - it was about all wars that Australia had fought in and the people who gave their lives for the cause of freedom.

"To them we owe an enormous debt. A debt that we must never forget and which we must try to pay in our daily lives," he said.

Mr McCusker also paid tribute to the Aboriginal servicemen who were only in recent times acknowledged, as well as nurses and others who helped the wounded.

Young onlooker Maggie Wormold, 17, who had travelled from Busselton to attend the march, said she felt her generation was determined to retain the memories of the sacrifices of older Australians.

"It is important we never forget what they did in the last century, and what our forces are doing today," she said.

The WA government, meanwhile, says work to prepare the historic West Australian coastal city of Albany for next year's Anzac commemorations will be completed on time.

The site where thousands of Australian and New Zealand troops departed for Egypt and then Gallipoli in Turkey in 1914 needs to be finished by November 1 next year, when there will be a re-enactment of the departure of ships from King George Sound.

In Darwin, Veterans of World War II and more recent battles were overjoyed to see the crowds of young people who turned out for Darwin's Anzac Day.

"I am impressed by all the young people here,'' said 94-year-old WWII veteran Ted Milliken.

Lieutenant Milliken, who was too frail to march and was driven along the parade route, said seeing them line the streets made him happy.

He served aboard a ship in the Pacific during the war and while it was a "bit hairy", his vessel had never come under direct attack.

"I just got lucky," he said.

Air Surveillance Officer Rachel Boyles, aged 24, who served in Afghanistan with the Air Force in 2008 and 2009, praised the large turnout of people at Darwin's dawn service and Anzac Parade.

"It is really good to see the younger generation getting involved," she said.

Among the 3000-strong crowd who attended the dawn service in the city, many were of school age.

Fifteen-year-old Geoffrey King said it was his dream to join the air force one day.

"I have attended every dawn service since I was four," he said.

Earlier Bill Buckley, vice-president of the Darwin RSL, said in his speech that Alec Campbell, the last Australian veteran of the Gallipoli campaign, had warned Australians to never to glorify the event.

"It was a terrible fiasco, a total failure and best forgotten," Mr Buckley quoted him as saying. Mr Campbell died in 2002 aged 103.

Darwin turned on a cloudless morning and warm temperatures as the service was held overlooking Darwin Harbour under a full moon.

Members of the armed forces of Australia and the United States - which has a contingent of marines stationed in Darwin - laid wreaths at the cenotaph.

David Alford, 49, an ex-navy seaman, said he came to show respect for his country.

"I think this is a very important celebration of our proud history," Mr Alford said.

Military Police officer David Bates, who recently served in Afghanistan, said it was good to be in Darwin after the desolation he had seen overseas.

Lance Corporal Sean Starling was one of hundreds who lined Darwin's streets on Thursday to watch the Anzac Day parade, although he prefers not to march himself.

He served in Oruzgan province in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2011.

"It is important to show support for the old diggers," he said.

Australians and American marines, who are stationed in Darwin for training during the dry season, also took part in the parade.

A riderless horse signifying unknown soldiers who died in past campaigns led the parade and was followed by veterans from many of the conflicts Australia has been involved with.

About 200 US Marines are stationed in Darwin, and two platoons of Americans, about 90 people, took part in Anzac Day proceedings today.

After dealing with temperatures from minus 15C to 50C in the deserts of Afghanistan, Sean Starling is glad he is now back in Darwin.

Lance Corporal Starling was one of hundreds who lined Darwin's streets to watch the Anzac day parade, although he prefers not to march in it himself.

He served in Uruzgan province in Afghanistan between 2010 and 2011.

''It is important to show support for the old diggers,'' he said when asked why he came.

''They are the blokes who really did it tough.''

PEOPLE magazine has named Gwyneth Paltrow as the World's Most Beautiful Woman for 2013.

The 40-year-old actress tops the magazine's annual list of the World's Most Beautiful, announced on Wednesday.

Commenting on her selection, Paltrow says: "Around the house, I'm in jeans and a T-shirt. I don't really wear makeup."

She credits her workout routine for keeping her looking young and feeling strong.

Paltrow is married to Coldplay rocker Chris Martin. They have two children, Apple, 8, and Moses, 7.

"He'll make a joke about it. If I've gotten fully dressed up, he'll be like, 'Oh, wow! You're Gwyneth Paltrow!' Because he's used to seeing me in like baggy shorts and frizzy hair," she told People.

Paltrow held out a string of beauties including Jennifer Lawrence, Beyoncé Knowles, Zooey Deschanel, Kerry Washington and Kristen Stewart.

"When we're home sometimes, she'll put on mascara. And sometimes I'll let her wear something out to dinner - but just a little dab," she explained.

"Also having a father who adores you the way that he adores her is very good for your body image. The more we can love her and let her be who she is, the more confident she'll feel."

Amanda Seyfried, Jane Fonda, Kelly Rowland and Halle Berry also feature on People's Most Beautiful Women list.

Pepper suits up and saves Tony Stark in a new clip for Marvel's "Iron Man 3," starring Robert Downey Jnr and Gwyneth Paltrow. In theaters and IMAX 3D May 3.

Grandma's 'hero' girl defying the odds

A LITTLE girl with a "heart of gold" who was allegedly poisoned by her Gold Coast mother is amazing her family with her dramatic recovery.

Giggling, playing and walking in hospital, the four-year-old has defied the worst fears for her health, her grandmother says.

"My 'hero' my granddaughter is just blowing the doctors' minds," she wrote in the first full update on the girl's condition, posted on Facebook.

"She has a heart of gold and the determination to live life to the fullest. She is recovering so much more and faster than anyone thought."

Police this month charged the girl's 22-year-old mother with grievous bodily harm for allegedly giving her chemotherapy drugs she didn't need.

Heart-breaking photographs and videos before her mother's arrest showed the girl ravaged by illness that police now allege was deliberately inflicted.

To her grandmother - on her mother's side - the girl is an inspiration.

"She is up giggling, playing, walking and being very cheeky to her favourite doctors and nurses," she wrote. "All the other sick kids are attracted to her because of her upbeat, happy personality.

"She is still not 100 per cent but she is always up for a challenge."

Under the care of staff at Brisbane's Royal Children's Hospital, the girl has been able to venture outside.

"She got to go outside the other day to smell the fresh air and feel the sun," her grandmother wrote. "She has God on her side and I thank everyone for the support and prayers.

"Please keep sending prayers as she still has a long road to travel ... but she sure is heading in the right direction."

Her grandmother said she wanted to update people because there were "so many people all over the world asking".

THE jilted ex-lover and prime suspect in the murder of Mosman finance employee Kate Malonyay plunged to his death from the 26th floor of a luxury Gold Coast hotel yesterday as detectives tried to arrest him.

Elliott Coulson, 32, a combat systems officer with the Royal Australian Navy, died instantly when he crashed through a metal awning, landing in a fountain outside the foyer of the Marriott Surfers Paradise Resort at 11.40am.

His death came moments after a team of detectives knocked on the door of his $500-a-night suite, which had been secured with a chain.

Last night police were trying to piece together Mr Coulson's movements from the time Ms Malonyay's body was found inside her ground floor unit of her McLeod St, Mosman, apartment about 1.30pm on Monday.

Friends of Ms Malonyay described Mr Coulson as "deceiving and conniving" who fed the vivacious 32-year-old a pack of lies during their relationship, which ended in December.

Ms Malonyay was a popular and much-loved senior employee with finance firm Challenger Limited.

But The Daily Telegraph can reveal new details of the police investigation, including the fact that Ms Malonyay's phone had been used to send text messages to friends hours after her body was found. Police made an operational decision to keep the discovery of her body a secret due to the developing situation with her phone, which they say was vital in their probe.

The last text message was sent from her number on Tuesday - the day after she was found.

A long-time friend, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Daily Telegraph: "There were text messages coming from her phone responding to messages (from friends) and it was as though she was still alive and just trying to arrange a catch-up with some girls."

Police have ruled that she had been lying in the apartment for between three and four days after her body was located on Monday afternoon when a close friend raised the alarm.

The previous Friday, as colleagues wondered why she had not turned up for work, another close friend received a text saying: "Hey honey I've just got a migraine I'm taking stuff for it I'm just at home relaxing'."

Friends have opened up about the couple's relationship, saying Malonyay was a trusting soul who saw the best in people, while Coulson was a compulsive liar.

This included convincing her for 18 months that he lived "on base" with the navy, which subsequently turned out to be false, and claims of being overseas for "months" on deployment.

The Daily Telegraph has been told that despite their break-up, Coulson held a set of keys to her apartment.

"Basically he was a really deceiving, conniving individual who met a beautiful girl who unfortunately liked to see the good in everybody and (he) just took advantage of that," one friend said.

"Kate was of the belief that he was a contractor to the Navy and the reason that we kind of were speculating around whether (that was true) was he told her he lived on base and we found out he didn't." No one, including Kate, knew precisely where he lived, the friend said.

"For her friends that were able to look at the situation from the outside, it was those things that really raised quite extreme alarm bells," the friend said.

A defence spokesperson refused to comment on the case, saying it remained a police matter.

Horrified guests and staff who witnessed the dramatic death plunge were offered counselling.

Police yesterday wrapped up their canvas of the murder scene after spending three days at the site.

Devastated friends also continued posting tributes on Facebook as funeral arrangements for Ms Malonyay were being prepared.

Challenger CEO Brian Benari said Ms Malonyay had been a valued member of his finance firm for three years and was extremely well-liked by staff.

We took the drug: Essendon

Essendon have admitted to drug investigators some of its players took anti-obesity drug AOD-9604 last year. Source: Herald Sun

ESSENDON has admitted to drug investigators some of its players took the anti-obesity drug AOD-9604 last year.

The Bombers said they relied on a document purported to have been issued by the World Anti-Doping Agency approving use of the substance, which WADA confirmed this week was banned.

It is believed Essendon's former sports scientist Stephen Dank showed a document to Bombers club doctor Bruce Reid.

Essendon does not have the letter, and believes Dank has the only copy.

Several Essendon officials are aware of the letter's existence.

Dank was not available to respond to questions about the document yesterday.

It has been reported "half a dozen" Bombers took the drug as part of the supplements program at Essendon last year, the subject of a joint Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority-AFL investigation.

While AOD-9604 is not banned under category S2 of the WADA code - which lists specific substances - it is prohibited under category S0, which states substances not approved for human use are prohibited at all times.

Reid has been interviewed by ASADA investigators and is believed to have told them of the letter of authorisation.

Essendon coach James Hird also has been interviewed, with other coaches and players to follow.

Dank has not yet agreed to talk to ASADA.

Given he is not employed by an AFL club, he is not compelled to submit to interview.

Asked about an AOD-9604 "authorisation letter" last night, an Essendon spokesman said: "The club has launched an AFL-ASADA investigation and an internal review and we will not be commenting until the investigations are completed."

If charged with doping, players would be expected to defend themselves under 'exceptional circumstances' provisions in the WADA code and the AFL Anti-Doping Code, which can have two-year bans cancelled.

WADA's rule 10.5.1 discusses the principle of "no fault or negligence", and is based on athletes proving they did not know what they were being given by sports scientists or doctors.

If an athlete can prove "in an individual case that he or she bears no fault or negligence, the otherwise applicable period of ineligibility shall be eliminated".

The Australian Crime Commission said yesterday it had relied on information from ASADA in compiling its report on drugs in sport, which stated several times AOD-9604 was not prohibited.

Melbourne has also been linked to "AOD" in text exchanges between Dank and Demons club doctor Dan Bates revealed last week.

Bates, who has been stood down by Melbourne, was interviewed by ASADA and AFL officers last week.

He said yesterday: "I wish to point out that I will be open and transparent and I look forward to continuing to fully assist ASADA and the AFL in their investigations."
