Also this week, Liam Bartlett investigates horrific cases of women being harassed and attacked in remote mine sites in Western Australia.
SECRET WEAPONS
In Ukraine’s David and Goliath battle against the brute force of Russia, the United States and European countries have been adamant about not sending in troops for fear of escalating the war. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t foreign fighters, including a number of Australians, taking up arms alongside Ukrainian soldiers. In fact, about 20,000 fighters from more than 50 countries are either in training or already on the battlefield. It’s an incredibly dangerous, potentially deadly undertaking.
On assignment in Ukraine for 60 MINUTES, 9News correspondent Mark Burrows reports that these soldiers are considered President Zelensky’s secret weapons, and they’re giving Vladimir Putin an almighty headache.

In the mining industry though, it seems this kind of unacceptable conduct is not at all out of the ordinary – it’s the norm. Just as shameful, when the women complain to their bosses, they’re often the ones who end up being fired.

Last month Sarah Abo reported how the retired aerospace engineer claimed to have pinpointed the precise location where the airliner crashed in the southern Indian Ocean.Â
