Where There's Smoke, There's Firebombing, Albo & Jodie, MH370: Third Time Lucky?
Where There's Smoke, There's Firebombing
Where there's smoke, there's firebombing is now an unwelcome reality for tobacconists, predominantly in Victoria, but increasingly elsewhere around the country too. In the last 18 months, as many as 200 of their shops have been destroyed as criminals try to wrest control of the lucrative illegal tobacco market. What's worrying though is not only the level of violence, but why this thuggery started in the first place. As Nick McKenzie reports in this joint 60 Minutes, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald investigation, by taxing cigarettes so exorbitantly in an attempt to stop people smoking, the Federal government has inadvertently created a thriving black market worth five billion dollars a year.

Albo & Jodie
In Canberra the distance between the Prime Minister's home, the Lodge, and the Governor-General's residence at Yarralumla is about four kilometres. Anytime now, in the next few days or weeks, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will be taking the five-minute trip to visit Sam Mostyn to officially call this year's federal election. Of course, unofficially, the campaign has been pretty much in full swing for months. Two weeks ago, Opposition leader Peter Dutton and his family talked to Karl Stefanovic about the highs and lows of a life in politics. Now it's the turn of Albo and his soon-to-be bride, and possible secret weapon, Jodie Haydon.

In a few days there will be another grim anniversary for the families of the 239 passengers and crew who were aboard Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

As Dimity Clancey reports, another search for the aircraft is currently underway. However, unlike the previous two failed searches, this one is using much more advanced technology to map a comprehensive picture of the ocean floor. Could it be third time lucky in the attempt to solve one of the greatest aviation mysteries of all time?

Snapped
Who are these women and what drives them to kill? Oxygen's hit true crime series, Snapped, profiles fascinating cases of women accused of murder. Did they really do it? And if they did, why? Whether the motivation is revenge against a cheating husband, the promise of a hefty insurance payoff, or putting an end to years of abuse, the reasons are as varied as the women themselves. From socialites to secretaries, female killers share one thing in common: at some point, they all snapped. Each episode of Snapped chronicles the life of a woman who has been charged with murder. These shocking but true stories turn common assumptions about crime and criminals upside down, and prove that even the most unlikely suspects can be capable of murder.

The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.

Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.
In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
