Good morning. I'm Thomas Morgan from the ABC's breaking news team. Anzac Day is a yearly reminder of the sacrifice Australian and New Zealand soldiers have made for much of what we love about our country, and we'll have full coverage this morning.

Plus, our federal election coverage looks at why electric vehicles could become more expensive, and the potential fixes for our struggling emergency departments. And is it appropriate to take a selfie with the pontiff lying in state?

Today marks 110 years since Australian and New Zealand soldiers began landing at Gallipoli. This morning, Australians of all walks of life, in all corners of the country, attended dawn services to commemorate the sacrifice of those who fought there, and in all conflicts since. Today, here's how we're marking Anzac Day: 

• This morning, amputee and Navy veteran Luke McCallum will march for the first time. Yesterday marked 21 years since a harrowing incident that killed two US servicemen and affected him emotionally. It also coincided with a serious deterioration in his own physical health caused by injuries sustained two years prior. You can read his story above, or watch last night's 7.30 story here ▶️, about how rowing helped him overcome decades of challenges.
• We also hear from Bill Purdy, a former World War II bomber pilot. Speaking to Stateline NSW, he tells of his time at war, his "marvellous" return home and the parallels he sees between now and then.
• One of the celebrated traditions of today is, of course, Anzac Day biscuits. But the rules around what can go into them, and what they should be called, are actually quite strict. Here's the backstory of where they came from, and how you can bake up a batch for yourself. 
• There is coverage of the Dawn Services on the ABC News Channel ▶️. Later this morning, your state's ABC TV will broadcast your capital city's Veterans March.

It's Day 28 on the campaign trail. 

Electric vehicles: Peter Dutton has finally clarified his party's stance on electric vehicle subsidies, and the upshot is EVs prices could cost $15,000 more than at present. But those looking at making the switch from internal combustion to battery-powered, take solace that whoever wins, the EV market isn't going into reverse.

Can something be done to help our struggling emergency departments? One hospital gives us hope by halving the number of elderly patients being admitted, freeing up precious beds. And that's come about without sacrificing their care — in fact, those would-be patients have received better treatment in the comfort of their own home.

Where have the leaders been? Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton's movements can tell us plenty about where each party sees opportunity, or where they are feeling vulnerable. Our federal politics team has been keeping track of where the leaders have gone .

Analysis by Michelle Grattan: Whatever the results on May 3, plenty of people (even inside the Liberals) will conclude the Liberals have run a poor — and odd — campaign. That was underscored by this week's very late defence funding announcement.

• 'Vladimir, STOP!': Donald Trump has reacted angrily to continued Russian strikes on Ukraine, as he continues attempting to broker a peace deal between the two sides. At least 12 people died in the latest round of strikes on Kyiv.
• India-Pakistan tensions: Days after a deadly attack in Kashmir that claimed 26 lives, both countries have expelled senior officials and cancelled visas. Relations between the two nuclear-armed nations are deteriorating , with Pakistan warning India that crossing a red line would be an "act of war".
• NT stabbing: Police have charged an 18-year-old man with murder over the stabbing death of a Darwin grocery store owner. The territory parliament will urgently reconvene to debate and pass new bail laws in response.
• Katie Perry vs Katy Perry: After 15 years, the legal fight between an international pop star and an Australian fashion designer has reached the High Court. So, who will get to claim the name?
