Today there's a good chance of up to 8 millimetres in rain, and it's expected to reach 30 degrees, climbing from a low of 9. Then, there'll be more rain on Wednesday ... and probably Thursday. With a windy Friday predicted, you might be wondering where those gentle, sunny Canberra spring days went.

Let's get to the news, and see what's in the headlines in the ACT this morning.

They'll have to live in a world transformed - for the worse - by climate change. While many remain unhappy with the solutions (or lack thereof) emerging from Parliament House, a group of school students are taking matters into their own hands.

On November 28, Chapman Primary School students will gather outside Parliament House to urge their elected representatives to act on global warming.

Joining a movement of young students spreading around the country, they'll protest the lack of climate action and call for better from the government.

The jury deciding the verdict for murder in the marathon trial of David Harold Eastman told a court on Monday they have been unable to reach a unanimous decision.

Acting Justice Murray Kellam encouraged the jury to continue deliberating for a time before he sent them home early for the day, saying: "I don't want anyone suffering from stress."

The jury had begun their discussions about 10.30am on Wednesday. Mr Eastman, 73, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Colin Winchester about 9.15pm on January 10, 1989.

Massive rates rises have hit the bills of commercial property owners this year, but it doesn't mean they're objecting to them. In fact, they're avoiding raising any disputes, fearing it could lead to even more costly legal stoushes before the territory's Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Fewer than 15 per cent of the owners of 311 commercial properties across the city, who were hit with massive rates increases due to a government revaluation in January last year, have actually objected to their bills.

The costs for families of teenagers readying for a school formal can be eye-watering.  But for Canberra businesswoman Ana Anzani, everybody deserves a fairytale night after 13 years of study.

"Everybody deserves to feel their own kind of beautiful. Whether it’s an outfit, hair or make-up, I would like to help as many financially disadvantaged children as possible."

She's looking to pay for eight Canberra students who need a dress, suit, hair, or make-up.

Serena Coady spoke to the businesswoman about her plans.

American rapper YG has sparked outrage by allegedly demanding female fans expose themselves at Canberra music festival Spilt Milk on Saturday.

Festivalgoers took to social media to voice their outrage about the alleged behaviour, described by some fans as sexist and misogynistic. They claim he demanded women "show their titties", otherwise he would not continue his performance.

Spilt Milk organisers have joined the chorus of condemnation in a statement, and deleted a post of theirs lauding the rapper.
