Description

Thursday Headlines: Former Premier defends China visit, total cost of Nauru deal revealed, more support on the way for thousands of older Australians, Chinese cars among most purchased in Australia, and Nick Kyrgios reckons he can beat women's No.1 seed Aryna Sabalenka.

Deep Dive: As the search for accused police killer Dezi Freeman stretches into its tenth day, hundreds of officers, drones, helicopters and even the ADF are combing Victoria’s rugged High Country - but what’s happening behind the scenes of this massive operation? 

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with criminologist and former police officer and hostage negotiator, Dr Vincent Hurley, about the tactics authorities are using, how Freeman might be thinking, and why appeals for his surrender are still part of the plan.
