Speaker 1 (00:03):
Good morning. We want to get straight to breaking news
now in Australia's multi billion dollar submarine deal could now
be at risk. The Pentagon ordering a review into the
Orchest deal in a bombshell move set to send shock
waves through our government. Let's go live out to Josh Martin,
who is in camera. Good morning to you, Josh. So
we understand that billions of dollars are at risk.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Morning mom.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
This was first reported by the Financial Times about three
hours ago and has been confirmed by subsequent publications since that,
quoting about six US government sources that say this three
hundred billion dollar plan of Australia's to acquire and build
nuclear submarines is in jeopardy this morning. Australia has, of course,
already made a sizeable down payment to the United States.
(00:47):
We understand top US defense official Elbridge Colby is skeptical
about UCUST and we'll head up this review seeing whether
it fits into Donald Trump's America First agenda. The Americans
are worried about whether they have enough submarines for themselves
and their own defense needs. Of course, this proceeds Anthony
Alberanesi's first ever meeting with Donald Trump that's expected to
(01:08):
take place on the sidelines of the G seven in Canada.
That's going to happen, likely to happen within the next
week one. We have sought comment and are awaiting a
response from the Albanesi government this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
All right, Josh Martin, thank you to breaking news in
Sydney's North Now. Two bodies have been found in a
Forestville home, sparking an urgent police investigation. Officers descended on
the Cannon's Parade property after nine point thirty last night
after a call for a welfared check. Neighbours said that
they hadn't seen the occupants of the property for days.
(01:40):
The search of the granny flat at the back of
the property uncovered two bodies, which are yet to be identified.
A dramatic fire has ripped through a storage facility just
north of Brisbane, triggering a toxic smoke warning to residents
in the area. The inferno shocking witnesses driving past the
blaze at bourb Gary last night. Via broke out at
(02:01):
a storage business around six o'clock. Paramedics treated two people
after they breathed in smoke. One person was taken to hospital.
Well there's an uneasy calm in Los Angeles this morning,
with the city starting to return to some sort of
normal just days after the protests. Now, let's go live
to US corosspondent Rob Scott. Now, Robert curfew was put
(02:22):
in place to try to calm things down. What's happening
there now.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Well, look at its appears as though on that that
curfew has done the trick. Downtown Los Angeles looks a
lot carmer. It feels a lot carmer here outside the
Immigration Detention Center in downtown LA. They're really only a
handful of protesters and the number of National Guardsmen well,
they're also down considerably compared to what we saw over
the last couple of days. And the city, as you say,
(02:49):
is returning to some sense of normality. There is the
cleanup is underway. Lots of graffiti on buildings across the
last couple of days that is now starting to be removed,
washed off, painted over. So, as you say, normality slowly
descending on this city. But the tension between the California Governor,
Gavin Newsom and Donald Trump continues to escalate. Yesterday, the governor,
(03:11):
in a televised address, described Donald Trump's sending four thousand
National Guardsmen and seven hundred active marines here to Los
Angeles as a dangerous step towards authoritarianism, and he says
that democracy is next. But Donald Trump and his administration
are doubling down. They are actually accusing the California governor
and the mayor of LA for not doing their jobs.
(03:33):
And that's why these protests spiraled out of control. They're
how they'll continue with these immigration raids, and they will
also send troops wherever they are needed.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
And when you run armored caravans through our streets, you're
not trying to keep anyone safe. You're trying to cause
fear and panic. And when you start deploying federalized troops
on the heels of these raids, it is a drastic
and chaotic escalation and completely unress.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So over the last couple of days, there have been
something like four hundred arrests, and we're hearing about half
of those arrests took place just yes that a many
of those people taken into custody for breaching that curfew
that went from eight pm to six am this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
All Rob Scott for us there in LA, thank you
to news. Just in two cars have erupted into flames
in Sydney's in A West. The fires broke out at
Burnell Street in Russell Lee after two this morning, firefighters
finding two cars burning out of control. It took crews
about twenty minutes to take the upper hand to nearby
cars were damaged. A crime scene has been set up
(04:39):
as police investigate what sparked the blaze. Queensland Police have
reportedly revealed where they believe that teenager Phoebe Bishop was murdered.
The Courier Mail reports that court documents suggest the seventeen
year old from Gingjin was killed on airport Drive in Bunderberg,
where she was last seen carrying luggage but never boarded
(04:59):
her fly. Police alleged that Phoebe suspected killers, Tanika Bromley
and James Wood, moved her body twice and then again
two days after to the good Night Scrub National Park.
Remains found last week believed to be Phoebe's as still
being forensically tested. A group of kayakers has been rescued
(05:20):
after multiple days stranded in southern New South Wales. The
six men were going downstream on the Shoalhaven River but
never made it to their cars. A personal locator beacon
tipped off police. The men were found and flown to safety.
No one was seriously injured. The prosecution's grilling of accused
killer cook Aaron Patterson has shifted to her foraging for mushrooms.
(05:43):
Her phone was tracked to an area near where deathcat
mushrooms were spotted the day after she allegedly learned of
the location online.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Accused triple killer Aaron Patterson says she loves her children,
but today the mother of two was grilled about the
way she cared for them in the days after the
deadly mushroom meal. I suggest you told well over a
dozen people that you had fed your children the same
meal you had served at lunch. I was pretty clear
it was the meal minus the mushrooms and pastry, so
(06:17):
not the same. But yes, but isn't it the fact
that on Sunday, July thirty, you found out at least
Don and Gail were unwell. Yes? I did find out
about that. So why did you proceed to feed the
same meal to your children when you knew or suspected
that the meal made the meal? I didn't know or
suspect that you loved your children, correct, I still love them?
(06:39):
Dr Rogers says the accused killer sent health authorities on
a wild goose chase to find the Asian grosser. Missus
Pattison claims she bought the mushrooms from alleging this story
was a lie, arguing she's guilty of deliberately poisoning her
four lunch guests. Miss Patterson's mobile phone pinned near where
(07:01):
deathcap mushrooms grow in lock and Outram, but she denies
ever being there. I suggest you went to Nilsen Street
in Outram looking for deathcap mushrooms as posted by doctor
Tom may disagree. The prosecution alleges Miss Patterson never went
foraging for non toxic mushrooms, claiming it was a story
(07:22):
made up for the jury. Cassie's Ovos seven.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
News police have charged two men under operation were a
Tough four cracking down on violence on Sydney's public transport.
A twenty eight year old was arrested in Mountain Druet
and a thirty nine year old in Villa Wood, both
charged with assault. Thirteen incidents remain under investigation by the
task Force, including assaults on transport workers, harassment and theft.
(07:50):
Commuters in Melbourne's West are in for minor delays this
morning after a maintenance mistake caused chaos on the Princess
Freeway yesterday. Thousands of drivers were left stranded after a
time temporary metal sheeting came undone, leaving a bridge expansion
joint exposed. It destroyed the ties of eight cars and
caused a truck to.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Roll almost yes, like gunshots.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Next minute, I was bloody fish tailing down their oad.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
We apologize to those motorists unreservedly.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Two inbound lanes are still blocked this morning, with an
expected ten minute delay. The Beach Boys legendary band leader
Brian Wilson, has died at the age of eighty two,
his family posting to social media saying that they are heartbroken.
It was Wilson's genius that inspired the cult hits, California
Girls and Good Vibrations. Wilson was the sole living brother
(08:58):
of three who were part of the band of five.
The Beach Boys have sold over one hundred million records worldwide,
and checking Thursday's We're Now Sunning in Brisbane were the
top of nineteen a shower or two in Sydney, seventeen
morning frost and then cloud clearing in Canberra with the
top of thirteen a sunny day in Melbourne. Fifteen mostly
sunny in Hobart, thirteen in Adelaide. Today a partly cloudy
(09:19):
one for you. Eighteen partly cloudy also in Perth twenty degrees.
A mostly Sunday day in Darwin, lovely top of thirty
one degrees
