Morning news bulletin in Arabic.


Speaking for the first time since missing their flight home in October, six Afghan men who live with disabilities after being wounded in the war say they are owed protection in Australia.




After his father’s death, Aminullah Arsalan joined the Afghan National Army at 18 so he could put food on the table for his family.

But before his 20th birthday, he had lost his leg in a Taliban ambush.

The now 25-year-old is among a group of six Afghan veterans - five athletes and one trainer - who have stayed behind in Australia following the Sydney Invictus Games in October.
