We're expecting a sunny top of 25 degrees in the capital today, after an overnight low of 8.

Here's all the news you need to start your Monday:

One day, without warning, Emily Stokes woke up unable to move.

After having a mysterious rash the day before, she had no warning signs of the coming debilitating condition.

Daniella White reports that Canberra scientists at the Centre for Personalised Immunology were able to fully sequence her genome.

Now 20, Ms Stokes was diagnosed with the incredibly rare Yao syndrome, an autoinflammatory disease of which there are fewer than 100 documented cases in the world.

Canberra police sought an urgent legal fix after they "unlawfully" snooped on a criminal across the border in New South Wales. ACT Policing discovered an incompatibility between laws in NSW and the ACT, which meant surveillance warrants issued under territory law could not be used once a target crossed the border.

Officers were instead forced to obtain permission to bug criminals through Commonwealth powers until the NSW legislation could be amended.

Steven Trask and Michael Inman report that once identified the issue was fixed with a minor amendment to NSW legislation.

The role of cities like Canberra in affecting progress against global warming has been considered in the latest United Nations climate talks, with experts welcoming "a groundswell" of innovation.

World leaders including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and environment advocates gathered in the former German capital of Bonn for the 23rd conference for signatories to the UN Convention on Climate Change.

University of Canberra chair of Urban and Regional Planning Barbara Norman said a key message from the talks had been how mayors, governors and regional leaders could work together to create large-scale change.

For Allison Harker, agriculture is in her blood.

Mrs Harker and her brother are fifth-generation farmers at Vale View in Yass, a property established in 1850 that predominantly runs sheep, but also has cattle and fodder production.

A day on a bike herding sheep with her colleagues, six dogs, is a norm for Mrs Harker.

Yass Valley Council will consider letting landowners build on smaller lot sizes in a planned buffer zone near the ACT-NSW border after they raised fears a rezone would devalue their properties.

Property owners hope the council will allow light, rural-residential development instead of imposing a 40-hectare minimum for lot sizes in the area as it rethinks land use south of its population centres.

Doug Dingwall reports the council says it will canvas changing the minimum on land within 5km of the border.
