Flash floods from the Macintyre River inundated the town of Inglewood in Queensland, Australia. Two people were reported to dead. Hundreds of people were evacuated in the town as many households and workplaces were flooded. Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) crews announced that more than 30 rescue operations had been carried out, with more than 400 calls for help responding in the last 24 hours.
A bronze statue of US First Lady Melania Trump was stolen near her hometown of Sevnica, Slovenia. The statue, depicting her waving during Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration, was cut off at the ankles. Police launched an investigation after a tip-off on May 13.
An earlier wooden version of the statue was destroyed by arson in 2020. The current bronze replica, built by US artist Brad Downey, replaced it on a concrete base. Despite her local fame, Melania has never returned to her hometown since leaving Slovenia in the 1990s to pursue a modeling career in the US.
