Morning everyone. They named her Matilda because it was the “most Australian name we could think of”. But last night the Ukrainian-born parents of the 10-year-old mourned her as the youngest victim of the Bondi terror attack. We have a powerful report from the scene in Bondi, footage of doomed couple Boris and Sofia Gurman fighting one of the attackers, plus analysis of the alleged gunmen’s Philippines and India links and how bystander hero Ahmed al-Ahmed’s home town in Syria is saluting his fame.

In other news, Ukraine prepares to submit peace plans to Russia, and the Ashes series is about to resume in Adelaide.
