Wishing you a wonderful Tuesday! 

8.53: To celebrate the biggest television awards of the season, the Emmy's  which are on today today we want to know who you're backing to win. 

Visit our Emmy's page to see who's nominated and vote in our polls.

We also take a look at who the Emmys have snobbed over the years. American television's highest accolade - the Emmy Award - is generally regarded as a solid barometer of brilliance.With past winners such as Breaking Bad, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Modern Family, Tina Fey and Steven Soderbergh, how could they not be? And yet, when you look into Emmy's history books, she was not always so wise about what and whom she honoured.

To keep up with live updates of the awards ceremony follow the Sydney Morning Heralds rolling coverage.

8.47: Is it your birthday today? If so HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We hope you have a fantastic day.

To celebrate here's Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids.

7.52: We've got an update on the BREWARRINA fire over the weekend. 

The news Cafe De Luxe had been destroyed hit the Brewarrina community, and communities further afield, hard.

As the building burnt, onlookers filled the street. Many took to social media to express their dismay.

"It is a tremendous loss to the community," Brewarrina Shire Mayor Matthew Slack-Smith said.

"Cafe De Luxe has been a feature of the Brewarrina landscape since 1926 and it has played a huge part in the social aspect of the town."

Here is the location of the cafe. 

7.45: We've got some agricultural news for you this morning.

Local farmers are still hoping for some more rain across the region. WALGETT agronomist Denielle Kilby said the rain had been consistent across the region. "Around the district there's been anywhere from 15 to 50mm but most people have reported between 20 and 30mm," Ms Kilby said. "It's one of the largest rainfalls we've had since March. It's the first time you can really call around the district and everyone's had 20 to 30mm."

Record stock numbers have pushed up the DUBBO Regional Livestock Markets' annual operating income. In the 12 months to June 30 the facility of Dubbo City Council collected almost $1.1 million more than the budget estimate of almost $2.6 million for yard dues and licence fees. And while lack of rain in parts of Australia is recognised as a factor in the stream of stock to arrive at the Dubbo saleyards the council views the business that spins millions of dollars into the economy each year as sound beyond the short-term.

7.42: Check out all the sporting pics from this weekend in Dubbo. Looks like the next Tim Cahill or Israel Folau might be in the mix! 

7.37: Here's what's making regional and national news this morning: 

ORANGE: Five men performing landscaping duties in Learmonth Park, along the Great Western Highway, were left shaken on Monday after a dramatic three-vehicle accident occurred just metres from them. Just before midday a Ron Finemore semi-trailer was travelling west along the highway when it crossed onto the wrong side of the road and collided with a smaller truck and a van before breaking through a fence and coming to a stop in Learmonth Park.

ORANGE: After months on the Western Joint Regional Planning Panel’s website, the Orange Regional Museum has finally gained development approval. The development application was lodged in January and assessed by Orange City Council staff in March, but was listed for an electronic determination meeting until Monday, when formal approval was granted.

BATHURST: Price hikes at the Bathurst lawn cemetery are an insult to the Australian ideal of a “fair go”, Bathurst Regional Council has heard. Bathurst resident Peter Dowling used public question time at Wednesday night’s meeting to again raise the issue of price rises since Norwood Park took over operations of the cemetery last year.  Norwood Park was the private developer behind the construction of long-awaited crematorium at the cemetery but, as part of its deal with council, also took over the running of the lawn cemetery.

OBERON: A pilot flying between Bankstown and Cowra had to make an emergency landing in a paddock on Monday afternoon after he became involved in an incident with an 82-year-old passenger. Police say the pilot was forced to restrain the passenger. Sources say a brawl broke out between the two men when the passenger tried to take control of the Beech 76 fixed-wing aircraft.

NATIONAL: Researchers have for the first time observed immune cells in the pancreas of a type 1 diabetes patient, allowing them to watch as the cells attack and destroy the body's insulin-producing molecules. Dr Stuart Mannering, an immunologist at St Vincent's Institute of Medical Research, said the breakthrough was like catching the misbehaving immune cells at the scene of the crime.

NATIONAL: Pharmaceutical cannabis is effective for treating some forms of pain, reducing nausea and helping people gain weight, but there are barriers to medical use in Australia, the federal government's principal drug advisory group says. An Australian National Council on Drugs' report on medicinal cannabis published on Monday said research suggested a number of cannabis pharmaceuticals could treat pain, particularly chronic and neuropathic pain, the latter of which is caused by injuries to the nervous system.

NATIONAL: Hundreds of Australian same-sex-couples have married in New Zealand since marriage equality laws came into effect a year ago. In the first 12 months, 926 same-sex couples have tied the knot in New Zealand, according to the New Zealand registry of marriages. Of those, 237 weddings - nearly one in four - involved Australian residents.

NATIONAL: The mining boom: How the nation spent the windfall. New modelling published by the Reserve Bank shows the mining boom triggered a binge on new cars. Purchases of motor vehicles were 30 per cent higher than they otherwise would have been as a result of the boom. The boom has also underpinned a glut of spending on household items such as furniture, whitegoods, TVs, cameras and computers. Purchases in that category – called "durable goods" by economists – were 20 per cent higher than what would have been the case if there was no boom.

7.19: Here's what is making local news this morning: 

DUBBO: A defenceless man in a wheelchair asked Dubbo Local Court for an order of protection when a 19-year-old woman was sentenced for stealing from him. Jazmaine Lee Moles was arrested after a break and enter at the man's Gilbert Street home on April 17.  Magistrate Michael Price said Moles knew the victim was vulnerable when the crime was committed.

DUBBO: A mentally ill man held hands with his four-year-old daughter when he was brought before Dubbo Local Court on two charges of common assault. The 46-year-old disability pensioner was arrested on March 9 after a woman reported domestic violence to police. The man pleaded guilty in May when the charges were adjourned for three months under the mental health act.

DUBBO: A number of new retail businesses have taken up premises in the centre of Dubbo, even as some stores close. Commercial real estate agent Andrew McDonald reported leasing activity had been "much stronger" in recent months.

DUBBO: The Orana Local Area Command's newest police recruits have spent their first day on the job. Probationary constables Shane Allen and Greg Lynch were welcomed to the station by Acting Sergeant Daniel Tagg, who showed them around Dubbo Police Station and introduced them to the area they would be policing. The pair were among 170 officers who were sworn in at the NSW Police Academy at Goulburn on Friday.

COONAMBLE: Ectasy tablets have been seized during a vehicle stop at Coonamble. Police stopped a green Holden Commodore ute on the Castlereagh Highway, on the northern side of the township, about 1.45pm Sunday and spoke with the driver. When officers from Castlereagh Local Area Command searched the vehicle they found a bag allegedly containing 150 ecstasy tablets, which had an estimated potential street value of about $7500.

WELLINGTON: Police are hopeful of making more arrests in relation to Wednesday's arrest of two men for attempting to smuggle drugs and mobile phones into the Wellington Correctional centre. It's understood detectives are continuing their investigation. Attorney General and Minister for Justice Brad Hazzard congratulated Corrective Services NSW for successfully completing a lengthy covert mission to foil a contraband smuggling plot.

WELLINGTON: Wellington Councillors will discuss the future of two timber bridges on major thoroughfares when its meets on Wednesday night. The Dripstone Bridge which is on a major access road to Lake Burrendong and the Gundy Bridge on the Renshaw McGirr Way which receives traffic from Yeoval and further to Parkes are both ailing infrastructure and council technical services director Stan Robb will ask councillors to make a big decision.
