Top stories CNN has accused Donald Trump of "encouraging violence against reporters" after the president tweeted a video of himself at a pro wrestling event, body-slamming to the floor a man with a CNN logo for a head. The Republican senator Ben Sasse said Trump was "trying to weaponise distrust" in his attacks on the media. A director of the Committee to Protect Journalists told the Guardian the charged online rhetoric issued by the White House undermined the media and emboldened autocratic leaders around the world. Courtney Radsch said: "Singling out individual journalists and news outlets creates a chilling effect and fosters an environment where further harassment and even physical attacks are seen to be acceptable." The video came the morning after an appearance by Trump at an event in Washington honouring veterans, at which he said: "The fake media tried to stop us from going to the White House. But I'm president, and they're not." In an atmosphere of swirling distrust between journalists and the politicians they cover, "body-slamming" became a loaded term in May when a Republican congressional candidate in Montana slammed Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs to the floor. The Australian government's decentralisation project is flailing, with wealth inequality continuing to grow, economist Frank Stilwell has said. The University of Sydney emeritus professor said inequalities between cities and "the bush", between suburbs, between country towns, rural areas, remote and very remote regions – showed patterns largely unchanged since the 1970s. Stilwell said the popular belief that Australia was "somehow exceptional" because of its egalitarianism must be eradicated, because the wealthiest 10% of households, on a conservative estimate, now held at least half the country's wealth. Jeff Horn, the former school teacher from Brisbane, produced one of the great Australian underdog stories with a stunning victory in the WBO welterweight world title fight against Manny Pacquiao in Brisbane, a storyline that wouldn't be out of place in a Rocky film. "I've just believed since I was very young that I could do this," Horn said. "This is not the best moment of my life – it is yet to come with my beautiful wife Joanna, she's pregnant with our first child." With internal Liberal party bitterness mounting, Malcolm Turnbull says he would quit parliament if he was no longer prime minister, citing the former New Zealand prime minister John Key as an example of a modern leader who left politics with dignity. He said he understood why Tony Abbott had found it so difficult adjusting to life as a backbencher, because he went through a bleak period himself when he lost the Liberal party leadership to Abbott in 2009, but he eventually put his head down and "got on with it". On Sunday, he said he was a "happy prime minister" and had no plans to retire soon, but if he lost his position he would quit parliament. A dual British-Iranian citizen who has been imprisoned for more than a year on charges of trying orchestrate a "soft overthrow" of the Islamic Republic is beginning to lose hope of ever being released. Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's husband Richard told the Guardian her imprisonment might be connected to her work at the Thomson Reuters Foundation and the BBC. Iranian authorities loathe the BBC because of its Persian service, which is watched by millions of Iranians via illegal satellite dishes. Reuters journalists were expelled from Iran after their Tehran office was closed down in April 2012. Sport At the cricket World Cup Australia maintained their 100% record with a comfortable five-wicket win over New Zealand, thanks in part to three wickets from Jess Jonassen and an innings of 71 from Ellyse Perry. Hosts England also cruised to a win, beating Sri Lanka by seven wickets in Taunton. Dustin Martin has been maligned for off-field behaviour in the past but was inspired in Richmond's win over Port Adelaide and could be the main reason, in this year of chaos in the AFL, to consider the Tigers as genuine flag prospects. Thinking time Sofia Coppola on set of The Beguiled Photograph: Andrew Durham/CPi Syndication Director Sofia Coppola has spent a lifetime beating a path away from her famous family name and creating films that are stylistic, feminine and unpredictable. Having just picked up the best director's prize from Cannes for The Beguiled, Coppola talks about her obsession with the deep south of the US, why she avoids social media, and sexism in a male-dominated industry. Brigid Delaney fasted for 15 days and by the end of the first week a strange smell was noticeable, she writes in her new book Wellmania. Hungry, short-tempered and lacking in concentration, Delaney describes fasting as the most self-absorbed activity she's ever done. And for a social creature deprived of the best glue for good times – food and drink – it made her lonely as well. Julia Gillard explains the crucial element the G20 is missing in its mission to help all economies benefit from globalisation. Without increased investment in quality education for all, the G20 agenda is on shaky ground, Australia's former prime minister says. Economic growth driven by large-scale infrastructure investments without equitable provision of education will leave hundreds of millions behind – and exacerbate inequality, disillusion and instability. Media roundup The Sydney Morning Herald gives top billing to Jeff Horn, the former school teacher who beat Manny Pacquiao, and also has an exclusive on how poorer students face segregation in the public school system. The West Australian has video of an unexpected snow dump on the Stirling Range, just five hours' drive from Perth, and the Daily Telegraph reports that the Turnbull government has signed an agreement that will get up to 10,000 young welfare recipients into retail internships. Coming up It's Naidoc week, and after the weekend's announcement of award winners, there will be events and cultural celebrations around the country. The Senate is holding an inquiry into corporate tax avoidance and will hear from academics, the tax office, tax justice lobby groups and Santos today.
