8.45am: Checking out the entertainment news this morning.

Channel Nine's hit family drama House Husbands is going global. The series, about the relationship between four stay-at-home dads and their families, is to be re-made in France and Italy. The German-based international distributor, ZDF Enterprises, which owns the rights to the series internationally, has struck two deals for remakes. 

When curators from the State Library of Victoria visited the National Library of France in 2013, they submitted a wish list of 100 items they wanted to borrow from the institution's Victor Hugo collection. When their list was returned, permission was granted for all but one item: the one they wanted most.

Grant Denyer out-rated his former arch-rival Eddie McGuire on Tuesday night to again win the battle of the game shows - prompting one media analyst to describe Denyer’s revived Family Feud as "the best thing Channel Ten has done in three years".

Portia de Rossi filmed her fights with Ellen DeGeneres, according to reports. The 41-year-old actress is rumoured to have entered a rehabilitation centre in May for a 30-day treatment for drugs and alcohol. The news was coupled with reports that the pair had been arguing a lot and now it seems some of those fights were caught on camera.

Prince George turns one next week. Surely, this means that the time is nigh for the little prince to have a playmate. Indeed, the royal baby gossiping and knitting of baby socks has begun.

8.22am: Taking a look at sport that's making news today.

DUBBO, Orange and Lismore will host three of the NSW Country Eagles' four home games during the inaugural National Rugby Championship. Confirming one of the worst kept secrets in country rugby, NSW Country Eagles general manager James Grant said his side's spectacle against Perth Spirit at Caltex Park on October 18 and the clash with Melbourne Rising at Orange's Wade Park on Saturday, September 20, was sure to be a hit among the communities' strong rugby population.

DUBBO Rams coach Jay Forrester was pleased with his players' efforts at the weekend despite losses in both matches during their Waratah League double-header. The Rams travelled to Canberra and took on the Gunners on Saturday before playing the Queanbeyan Yowies, and Forrester said there were some pleasing signs from his players, especially in the match against the Gunners.

7.45am: Let's take a closer look at today's front page story from the Daily Liberal. 

THE Commonwealth Bank is demanding the Anglican Diocese of Bathurst repay its $25 million debt immediately, and to do so it must sell-off church buildings.

However, Bishop Ian Palmer says the church will not go down without a fight and will do all it can to protect its churches.

"We believe there are other avenues to explore, but in order to defend ourselves we're seeking support from the parishes," he said.

Parishes will be asked to come up with a "target" amount of money to contribute to the diocese war chest, but if the parishes do not have access to liquid assets they may have to sell church property to raise the funds.

7.27am: Taking a look at all the national and regional news this morning: 

NATIONAL: More than 150 asylum seekers whose boat was intercepted near Christmas Island more than two weeks ago are being held behind locked doors on a customs ship in rooms without windows on the high seas, with no clue to where they are or where the Abbott government plans to take them.

NATIONAL: A 44-year-old Australian soldier has died after falling more than 30 metres down a crevasse during a training activity on New Zealand's Aoraki Mount Cook. The soldier was lifted out of the crevasse by fellow soldiers, who tried unsuccessfully to revive him. It is understood the soldier went into the park on Sunday with nine other soldiers and had planned to be there for more than a week.

NATIONAL:  Once, pork could do no wrong. It was cheap, plentiful and versatile. Now its day is done. The OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2014 report has revealed that the world's insatiable appetite for chicken is surging to new highs.

ORANGE is in for some crazy weather for the remainder of the week. Expecting a heavy snowfall late on Thursday and Friday according to Weatherzone meteorologist Brett Dutschke.

ORANGE: CABONNE Council is warning people they will face police prosecution if they access Mount Canobolas illegally when it is closed. The warning comes after another case of vandalism last weekend, the second incident in as many weeks, according to council spokesman Dale Jones.

AN ORANGE man told police “a pound” of cannabis was for personal use and not for profit. David Charles Allen told police it was cheaper to buy in bulk as an explanation for why he had 459.1 grams of marijuana in his car.

GAY, straight or otherwise, you won’t be treated differently - that is the defiant message ORANGE’S sporting stars sent out after the results of the Out on the Fields study were released yesterday. 

7.10am: Looking at today's local news: 

DUBBO: A ROSEWOOD Grove resident who believes people in his neighbourhood are breaching conditions of owner-occupier covenants will write to Housing NSW asking to have his own covenant lifted. In 2007, the NSW government began selling off public housing properties to owner-occupiers as part of a plan to rejuvenate the troubled Gordon Estate, which was subsequently renamed.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children face greater risks to their safety-including higher rates of child abuse and neglect, sexual assault, and hospitalisation and death from injury than non-Indigenous children, according to a paper released last week by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). 

DUBBO: A 38-YEAR-OLD East Dubbo man has been arrested on child sexual assault charges. The man was brought before Dubbo Local Court in handcuffs yesterday. Dressed in a high-visibility work shirt, shorts and boots he sat impassively in the dock before Magistrate Andrew Eckhold. No pleas were entered to four charges of aggravated sexual assault and a single charge of commit an act of indecency.

DUBBO: Police are seeking assistance to try to find a man understood to have been travelling to Dubbo when he went missing. Jordan Wright was last seen around midnight on Monday July 14 in Kelso. He had told his family he was travelling to Dubbo to visit his mother for a few days. The 18-year-old did not arrive at his mother's house and his family is now concerned as there has not been any contact since he left Kelso.

WELLINGTON: It is a year since a unique partnership was formed between the Smiths at Glenwood Merinos and Forbes garment manufacturer Woolerina. Last week, with everything from the sheep to the final garment on display at the Mudgee Small Farm Field Days, they offered an educational look at the way their wool was produced.

WELLINGTON: The dance section of the Wellington Eisteddfod has dwarfed that of both Dubbo and Mudgee with more than 1800 entrants set to take to the stage. Now dancers from as far as Lithgow will be looking to take part in one of the strongest competitions in the region. It's a far cry from the days when locals had to go to Dubbo or Orange to perform.

WELLINGTON: The approval by the Commonwealth Department of Environment of the Cobbora coal project near Dunedoo will trigger the infrastructure funding for the 353 road from Wellington to Dunedoo. The exciting news brings relief to the community as the road, which is a major thoroughfare for the region, will now be fully-sealed. Wellington mayor Councillor Rod Buhr says it is good news. Some say a game changer for tourism, traffic flow and road safety for the area.
