Facing The Music, Power Plays
On 60 Minutes this Sunday, Sean "Diddy" Combs' former former executive assistant speaks out, plus how Chinese money has been buying plenty of friendship in the South Pacific.
Facing The Music
Dishonest. Violent. Horrible. A promiscuous swinger who lied to, and cheated on, multiple partners. Incredibly, that's how Sean "Diddy" Combs' own lawyers describe the billionaire music mogul, who is facing serious sex trafficking charges in a New York court. The defence tactic seems to be to try to convince a jury that while Combs might be extremely unlikeable, it doesn't mean he's guilty of criminal offences that could see him locked up for the rest of his life. It's clearly a risky strategy, especially as more and more accusers come forward with information. One of them is Phil Pines, Diddy's former executive assistant, who in an exclusive interview with Nine's Christine Ahern, reveals startling allegations about the rapper's vile behaviour.

Power Plays
In the increasingly less-than-delicate dance for dominance in our region, there's no denying China boasts superior force compared with our military. It's an advantage the People's Liberation Army love to show off, like they did earlier this year when Chinese warships provocatively sailed a lap of Australia. But while Beijing's sticks are impressive, their carrots are also proving to be effective weapons, particularly when it comes to influencing our near neighbours. From Tonga, Amelia Adams reports how Chinese money has been buying plenty of friendship in the South Pacific. Adams also speaks with Australia's Chief of Navy, Vice Admiral Mark Hammond, to gauge the next steps Canberra is taking as China moves closer and closer to our shores.
