SYDNEY, June 4 (Reuters) - The Australian state of Victoria on Thursday introduced laws to give authorities more powers to shut down ‌businesses selling illegal tobacco, as new data showed nicotine use has ‌surged across the country.

Australia charges a federal tax of about A$1.50 ($1.07) on each individual cigarette to ​discourage smoking. As a result, a pack of cigarettes can cost more than A$60, with high prices blamed in part for fuelling a rise in illegal tobacco products.

The Victorian government said the new laws, if passed, would allow ‌police and the state's tobacco ⁠licensing regulator to issue closure notices and seek court orders to shut businesses for longer periods.

Businesses that fail to ⁠comply with the orders could face fines exceeding A$2.4 million and up to 20 years of jail time.

"If you are selling illicit tobacco in Victoria, we are closing ​the ​door on your business," said Enver Erdogan, ​the minister for casino, gaming ‌and liquor regulation.

"The illicit tobacco trade puts Victorians in harm's way. It funds organised crime and requires a coordinated effort across borders to stamp it out."

The legislation comes as data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released on Wednesday showed the amount of nicotine consumed around the country rose by ‌40% between 2017 and 2025, far outpacing ​a population growth rate of 14%.

The ABS ​said the increase was driven ​by the rising use of illegal tobacco as well as ‌e-cigarettes. It estimated 80% of the ​cigarettes and other nicotine ​products consumed by Australians last year were from the black market.

The bureau found prices of illegal tobacco products have remained relatively constant ​since December 2016 while ‌prices for the more expensive legal products have almost tripled due ​to annual tobacco excise increases.

JERUSALEM, June 4 (Reuters) - Israel will continue its operations on the ground in ‌southern Lebanon for the time being and ‌Lebanese residents forced from their homes by Israel would ​not be able to return, Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday.

His comments came a day after Lebanon and Israel said they had ‌agreed to implement ⁠a ceasefire during talks in Washington. The deal is contingent on a ⁠cessation of fire from militant group Hezbollah.

In a statement, Katz said troops would remain in ​its ​so-called security zone in ​southern Lebanon, including ‌in the area of Beaufort Castle, a 900-year-old fortress captured by Israel on Saturday.

He said Israel would continue to "dismantle terrorist infrastructure in the area" while Israel had "freedom of action, backed ‌by the United States, to ​strike in Beirut in ​response to attacks ​on Israeli communities and territory."

Lebanon ‌and Israel agreed on Wednesday ​to a ​new U.S.-backed ceasefire in Lebanon. They had previously agreed to a cessation of hostilities ​in April ‌that was then extended in May, but ​violence has continued.

SEOUL, June 4 (Reuters) - South Korea and China have agreed to expand weekly flight rights between the countries for the ‌first time in seven years, Seoul's transport ministry said on ‌Thursday, in another sign of warming ties between the Asian neighbours.

The agreement, reached at bilateral ​aviation talks held in Seoul on May 27 to 28, will increase passenger flight rights by 56 weekly flights to 664 from 608, and cargo rights by 14 weekly flights to 68 from 54, the Ministry ‌of Land, Infrastructure and ⁠Transport said.

The ministry said the deal would make it easier to add flights on high-demand routes such as Incheon ⁠to Shanghai and Incheon to Guangzhou, where existing rights had been fully used by both sides.

It will also expand routes from South Korea's regional ​airports, including ​Busan and Cheongju, to 10 Chinese ​cities such as Guangzhou, Chengdu, ‌Shenzhen, Chongqing and Xian, the ministry said.

First-quarter passenger traffic between South Korea and China reached about 4.39 million, exceeding the pre-pandemic level of 4.14 million, according to the statement.

Lee So-young, the ministry's aviation policy chief, said it was encouraging that the two countries had achieved a ‌timely expansion of flight rights through active ​aviation talks at a time when exchanges ​between them were increasing.

"We expect ​this agreement to help promote visits to South Korea ‌by Chinese tourists, improve convenience for ​our citizens travelling ​to China and for import-export companies, and contribute to revitalising the economy by further boosting Korean airlines' entry into the Chinese ​market," Lee said.

The ministry ‌said it plans to allocate the newly secured rights to ​South Korean airlines in the second half of the year.

NBC has announced its fall 2026 primetime schedule

The list of returning shows includes St. Denis Medical, The Voice and Law & Order: SVU

The Traitors will be making the leap from Peacock to NBC for a special civilian season

Summer hasn't even officially begun, but NBC is already looking forward to fall.

The TV network has revealed its fall 2026 primetime schedule, which features returning favorites like Law & Order: SVU and The Voice. The popular Peacock reality series The Traitors is also making a jump to broadcast for a civilian season.

“The Traitors format has proven itself as one of the most gripping and talked-about reality competition shows in the world,” Stephen Lambert, CEO of Studio Lambert, the producers behind the Peacock and NBC editions, said in a statement, per NBC. “We're thrilled to be working with NBC to open up the experience to a new group of civilian players, whose stories and strategies will make the gameplay even more unpredictable — and, we hope, even more addictive for viewers.”

The NBC fall 2026 lineup will have returning favorites, but not every series was renewed. Brilliant Minds and Stumble are among the shows that won't be back for a new season.

Here's everything to know about the NBC fall 2026 schedule.

The wait is finally over.

The San Antonio Spurs, who knocked off the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday, will host the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on June 3. Tipoff is at 8:30 p.m.

The Knicks have had a lot of time to recover from bumps and bruises. They've been idle since ousting the Cleveland Cavaliers in a four-game sweep in series that ended May 25.

But that doesn't mean the Knicks will come in healthy. Their star center Mitchell Robinson broke the pinky on his right hand and underwent surgery to repair it. Reports say he plans on playing with a protective brace.

Spurs vs. Knicks this year

The Knicks went 1-1 against the Spurs this year. The Knicks won 114-89 on March 1, but fell to the Spurs 134-132 on New Year's Eve.

When was the last time the Knicks were in the Finals?

The Knicks were last in the NBA Finals in 1999 where they lost to the Spurs.

Knicks vs. Spurs prediction

The Knicks are the hottest team in the NBA, having not lost since Game 3 of the first round series against the Atlanta Hawks. But the West is a different world. The Spurs are the better team and have homecourt. It should go six or seven, but the Spurs will win the series. We'll say Spurs in six.

After a record-winning Emmy's sweep, *Schitt's Creek* still had one big to-do on its checklist: drop the final season on Netflix, where many of the show's fans had first discovered the Pop TV/CBC comedy.

That treat came a bit early, but for everyone watching the sixth season for the first (or tenth) time, we have an extra reward for you: co-creator and star Dan Levy (who plays David) returned to *EW's BINGE* podcast for a special bonus episode. Levy breaks down the biggest controversies of the season, shares a poignant memory from Emmy's night about co-star Annie Murphy (Alexis), reveals that an alternate ending of the series was shot, and speculates what David and Patrick (played by Noah Reid) would dress up as for Halloween.

Schitts Creek

We also revisit some of our favorite interviews from the *EW On Set* podcast, which had weekly companion episodes for every week of season six's original airing, including a never-before-heard riff by Catherine O'Hara (Moira) about a viral video she was obsessed with, extended and uncut interviews with Murphy and Dustin Milligan (Ted) about their characters' long-distance struggle, and Eugene Levy (Johnny) and special guest star Victor Garber (who steps in for one episode as Moira's former soap opera nemesis) talk about first meeting during a 1972 production of *Godspell* in Toronto. Plus, we assemble all of our favorite celebrity name drops from throughout the season, and the best Moira-isms.

Listen to the full episode below or at Apple Podcasts or Spotify, and be sure to subscribe to our BINGE feed for more great deep dives of your favorite TV shows and movies.
