Authorities in the Philippines gave an update on their investigation of the accused Bondi Beach gunmen’s movements during their weeks-long trip to the country.
The father-son duo – who are now accused of carrying out a deadly attack at a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, this week — allegedly previously traveled to Davao City for their four-week visit to the Philippines, according to reports. This comes after a recent confirmation by Philippine authorities that the father and son spent nearly the entire month of November in the country.
Philippine police and hotel staff said the father and son rarely left their hotel room except for an hour or so at a time, according to The Guardian. The outlet added that both police and hotel staff noted that the accused gunmen never talked to other guests or had visitors.
There was speculation that the father and son traveled to the Philippines to receive training from Islamist groups believed to be operating in the country, but authorities have pushed back against the assertion.

On Tuesday, the Philippines Bureau of Investigation said the two accused gunmen traveled to the Philippines on Nov. 1 aboard Philippine Airlines Flight PR212 from Sydney to Manila before making their way to Davao, according to Reuters. The two left the Philippines on Nov. 28, just weeks before they allegedly carried out the Bondi Beach attack.
Davao City is located on the island of Mindanao, which has been under a «Level 3: Reconsider Travel» advisory since May. However, the State Department said Davao City, in addition to a few other locations, is an exception to the advisory.
«Terrorist and armed groups in Mindanao have historically engaged in kidnappings for ransom, in addition to bombings and other attacks. These incidents often target foreign nationals, including U.S. citizens, as well as civilians, local government entities, and security forces,» the State Department’s advisory reads.

POLICE: BONDI BEACH SHOOTING SUSPECTS HAD BOMBS, ISIS FLAGS AND RECENTLY TRAVELED TO PHILIPPINES
In 2017, Islamic State-inspired militants stormed Marawi, the capital of Lanao del Sur province in the Muslim-majority Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Mindanao. Reuters reported that the siege of Marawi displaced approximately 350,000 residents and left more than 1,100 dead, most of whom were militants.
The city is currently under a «Level 4: Do Not Travel» advisory, with the State Department warning that «civilians face risk of death or injury from ongoing clashes between terrorist group remnants and Philippine security forces in Marawi.»
Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) noted that while the influence and strength of Islamic State-aligned groups has declined in recent years, the Philippines military has had infrequent clashes with remnants of the groups.

The Bondi Beach attack unfolded on Sunday as gunmen opened fire at a Hanukkah celebration, killing at least 15 and leaving dozens injured. The older gunman, who was the younger gunman’s father, died at the scene.
On Wednesday, New South Wales Police announced the 59 charges against the 24-year-old surviving suspected gunman, including «commit terrorist act,» 15 counts of murder, 40 counts of «cause wounding/grievous bodily harm to person with intent to murder,» «discharge firearm etc intend cause grievous bodily harm,» «cause public display of prohibited terrorist org symbol» and «place explosive in/near building with intent to cause harm.»
NSW Police said the alleged gunman is still hospitalized and under police guard.

Un pequeño cambio en el ADN puede cambiar el destino de la sangre. Investigadores de los Estados Unidos y Europa identificaron una variante genética hereditaria que protege contra la leucemia y otros cánceres hematológicos, un hallazgo que abre nuevas posibilidades para prevenir enfermedades graves.
El descubrimiento sugiere que algunas personas tienen una defensa genética natural.
Los científicos comprobaron que este cambio genético limita la multiplicación de clones celulares peligrosos y reduce el riesgo de cáncer de sangre. Replicar este mecanismo podría transformar los tratamientos médicos en el futuro.
El estudio fue dirigido por Gaurav Agarwal y reunió datos de más de 640.000 personas en Estados Unidos y Europa. Fue publicado en la revista Science.
Los investigadores pertenecen a instituciones como el Hospital Infantil de Boston, la Facultad de Medicina de Harvard, el Instituto del Cáncer Dana-Farber, el Instituto Médico Howard Hughes, el Broad Institute del MIT y Harvard, el Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, y el Instituto Nacional del Cáncer de los Estados Unidos. También colaboraron expertos de la Universidad Newcastle del Reino Unido.
El equipo de investigadores se preguntó por qué algunas personas desarrollan cáncer de sangre y otras no, aunque acumulen mutaciones similares en las células madre.
El proceso de clonación hematopoyética permite que ciertos clones de células madre tomen ventaja y se multipliquen, lo que eleva el riesgo de leucemia y enfermedades crónicas.
Con el paso de los años, las mutaciones se acumulan, pero no siempre causan enfermedad. Algunos clones mutados permanecen bajo control o retroceden.
El objetivo fue identificar factores genéticos capaces de frenar la expansión de estos clones y proteger a las personas de desarrollar cáncer.
Los científicos se enfocaron en variantes hereditarias presentes en el ADN y analizaron el genoma completo de cientos de miles de personas.
El reto fue distinguir qué cambios genéticos influyen realmente en el riesgo de cáncer de sangre y cuáles no tienen impacto clínico.
El análisis priorizó las variantes no codificantes, que no modifican la estructura de las proteínas pero pueden regular la actividad de genes clave en las células madre de la sangre.
El equipo del doctor Agarwal identificó la variante «rs17834140-T», que se comporta como una defensa genética ante la clonación hematopoyética y el desarrollo de cánceres sanguíneos.
Esta mutación disminuye el riesgo de padecer CHIP (que es la sigla en inglés de “Hematopoyesis clonal de Potencial Indeterminado), un proceso que predispone a la leucemia.
La variante rs17834140-T reduce la expresión del gen musashi 2 (MSI2), esencial para las células madre sanguíneas. Al bajar la actividad de este gen, la red de apoyo a los clones mutados pierde fuerza y su expansión se debilita.
Los investigadores demostraron en el laboratorio que la mutación interrumpe el sitio de unión del factor GATA-2 en el ADN. Esta interferencia limita la producción de MSI2 y restringe el crecimiento de los clones peligrosos.
La red genética suprimida por la variante se activa en las células madre con mutaciones de alto riesgo y en niños con leucemia mieloide aguda. En estos casos, la actividad de la red se relaciona con una menor supervivencia.
Los investigadores sostuvieron que “el efecto protector de la variante se vincula a un solo cambio en el ADN que debilita la actividad del gen MSI2”.
El mapa genético elaborado por los científicos muestra cómo MSI2 influye en el destino de las células madre y en el dominio clonal de mutaciones asociadas a cáncer.
Los datos sugieren que bloquear MSI2 podría convertirse en una vía para prevenir nuevos casos de cáncer de sangre.
El avance resalta la importancia de compartir datos genéticos para impulsar la investigación médica.
Vijay Sankaran, coautor e investigador en la Universidad de Harvard, afirmó que “la integridad científica mejoró sustancialmente gracias a la difusión y el acceso público” a los datos de secuenciación y estudios GWAS.
Los científicos alertaron sobre la necesidad de validar estos resultados en poblaciones más diversas y continuar el seguimiento en estudios clínicos de largo plazo. El descubrimiento allana el camino para desarrollar medicamentos que imiten el efecto protector de la variante genética.
Los investigadores resaltaron que la mutación “ilumina la regulación post-transcripcional de las células madre humanas y sugiere la inhibición de MSI2 o sus objetivos para la prevención del cáncer de sangre”.

One of President Donald Trump’s most controversial moves in 2025 was his deployment of the National Guard to several major U.S. cities to provide security for federal buildings, public places and around law enforcement operations, including deportation operations.
While popular in some areas, Trump’s deployments were met with fierce resistance in some cities, especially in jurisdictions with «sanctuary» laws shielding immigrants from federal authorities. In some particularly controversial instances, the president went around Democratic governors by federalizing the National Guard or deploying troops from friendly states to blue cities.
In 2025, Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, the Chicago area, Memphis and New Orleans.
Here are the cities where residents may see National Guard troops on their streets in 2026.

Chicago
Despite a setback in the form of a Christmas week Supreme Court ruling denying a request to proceed with immediately deploying the National Guard to Chicago, the White House told Fox News Digital that the Trump administration plans to keep working «day in and day out to safeguard the American public.»
«The President promised the American people he would work tirelessly to enforce our immigration laws and protect federal personnel from violent rioters. He activated the National Guard to protect federal law enforcement officers and to ensure rioters did not destroy federal buildings and property,» White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement. «Nothing in today’s ruling detracts from that core agenda.»
With that being said, the Trump administration is likely to continue pushing for National Guard troops to be allowed into Chicago and the legal case is still ongoing.
St. Louis
While announcing a National Guard deployment to Memphis on Sept. 15, Trump hinted at sending troops to the Gateway City, saying, «We have to save St. Louis.»
While speaking with reporters in the Oval Office about the Memphis deployment, Trump said, «We’ll get to St. Louis also.»
The president grouped St. Louis in with Memphis and Chicago as a city suffering from high violent crime and strained local law enforcement, needing federal assistance to restore order.
According to the FBI’s most recent annual crime report, compiled for cities with 50,000+ residents and released in August, St. Louis ranks among the highest in violent crime rates nationally.

New York
While announcing his temporary federal takeover of D.C. in August, Trump suggested he may also intervene in New York, saying, «We have other cities that are very bad. New York has a problem.»
Trump also said, «I’m going to look at New York in a little while.»
At the same time, Trump voiced, «I hope they do a self-clean-up.» He expressed, however, that the rise to power of socialist now Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani may necessitate a deployment to «straighten out the city.»
The president has since met with Mamdani in the Oval Office, in a highly publicized meeting in which the two appeared to have worked through their differences. Trump predicted that Mamdani would be a «great mayor.»
«We have one thing in common,» said Trump. «We want this city of ours that we love to do very well.»
Despite this, the possibility of a National Guard deployment to New York remains should the city begin to spiral out of control under Mamdani’s leadership.

Baltimore
Trump also said that he would send the National Guard to Baltimore to «quickly clean up the crime» if Maryland Democratic Gov. Wes Moore were to say he needs help.
Moore had earlier invited Trump to attend a public safety walk in the crime-ridden city in September, saying in an Aug. 21 letter that the event would provide an opportunity to «discuss strategies for effective public safety policy.»
«As President, I would much prefer that he clean up this crime disaster before I go there for a walk,» Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
He accused Moore of having a poor record on crime, «unless he fudges his figures on crime like many of the other Blue States are doing.»
Trump added that he did not appreciate the tone of Moore’s invitation.
«But if Wes Moore needs help, like Gavin Newscum did in L.A., I will send in the «troops,» which is being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the crime,» Trump wrote. He added that Baltimore ranks among the worst cities in the United States for crime and murder.

California cities
Led by Democratic, pro-sanctuary politicians, America’s most populous state has stood firmly opposed to much of the Trump administration’s actions. California Gov. Gavin Newsom was a fierce critic of Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles over the summer despite ongoing unrest and anti-ICE riots in the city.
Despite the pushback, Trump has signaled his willingness to send the National Guard back to Los Angeles as well as to Oakland and San Francisco.
«We have other cities also that are bad. Very bad,» said the president. «You look at Los Angeles, how bad it is.»

Addressing crime, Trump has said, «Then you have, of course, Baltimore and Oakland. We don’t even mention that anymore. They are so far gone. We are not going to let that happen. We are not going to lose our cities over this.»
Trump also said, «Look at what the Democrats have done to San Francisco. They’ve destroyed it. We can clean that up, too, we’ll clean that one up, too.»
