Shopper smashes Woolworths self-serve gates with hammer in act of rebellion

Footage of someone smashing a Woolworths self-serve gate with a hammer has gone viral online, with an activist group claiming the act was retaliation for increasing food prices.

The video, posted by a group called the Whistleblowers, Activists and Communities Alliance (WACA), shows a person walking up to a self-serve gate inside a store in Moorabbin, Victoria on Tuesday, before pulling a hammer out of their pocket and hitting the gate several times.

The person then throws what appears to be several Woolworths price tickets onto the ground, before fleeing.

WACA also posted a picture of several posters which appear to have been left behind with the words “smash the gates”.

The new self-serve gates are the latest piece of security tech to be added to the supermarket’s arsenal in a bid to stop rising shoplifting activity.

Dead bodies lined the streets of the Sudan capital of Khartoum, as intense fighting between the Sudanese military and Rapid Support Forces continued for a sixth day. NEW YORK--Dead bodies lined the streets of the Sudan capital of Khartoum, as intense fighting between the Sudanese military and Rapid Support Forces continued for a sixth day. The fighting has caused thousands in Khartoum and across the country to shelter in place with limited food, electricity and water, as an all-out war rages in the streets. So far, at least 330 people have been killed and 3,200 have been injured from the fighting, according to the World Health Organization, but these numbers are likely an "underestimation of the true impact of the crisis," WHO regional director for the Eastern Mediterranean, Ahmed Al-Mandhari said Thursday at a press conference.

Rangers vs Diamondbacks Game 4 of the World Series: pitchers, lineups, stats, etc.

The Texas Rangers lead the Arizona Diamondbacks two victories to one in the MLB World Series. On Monday night, the two teams played a notably different Game than their previous high-scoring encounters, with a low-scoring contest.

Mikel Arteta reveals plan to help Kai Havertz settle at Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has vowed to continue supporting Kai Havertz in his ongoing efforts to settle at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners brought Havertz over from rivals Chelsea this summer for £65m, with Arteta determined to help the German international finally live up the superstar potential he showed earlier in his career. In his first nine Game s, however, Havertz has failed to make any major impact at Arsenal and the 24-year-old, who has been converted into a midfielder, has not started either of the team's last two Premier League Game s. Despite his slow start, Havertz retains Arteta's faith and the boss has explained how he plans to get the most out of his expensive experiment. "Trying to help him as much as possible," Arteta said. "Be next to him, give him the tools, confidence and minutes to exploit his talent. "There are so many parts to his Game that he is doing exceptionally well and we know he has to keep improving. As with any play...
