- The World President has called on all members of the Senate to inform their governments that all possible action is being taken to stop the widespread flooding, the root cause of the riots.
- Bandranaik also stated "At this moment, the W.A.S.P. patrol vessel Stingray is at the North Pole with orders to destroy any space aliens responsible for the melting of the Arctic ice cap".
- An Australian Rocket express has crashed outside Sydney. The train is believed to have jumped the tracks while travelling at 160 miles per hour. There were no survivors.
