Speaker 2 (01:23):
New South Wales police have released the images of three
men wanted in relation to a brawl that broke out

for the public's help to identify the men. It comes
after the political protest to court a scene at the

(01:46):
beach goers. Queens Aunt police are hunting for at least
six hoax devices after man allegedly planted one on a
Gold Coast mosque. Police say Matthew Bailey dropped what appeared
to be a bomb and then ran out of the building.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
One of the brothers threw it outside, not knowing it
wasn't a bomb. Obviously it looked like a bomb.

Speaker 1 (02:18):

flight has been forced to make an emergency landing at
Sydney Airport after a May Day call from the pilot.
Aircraft for Singapore was forced to turn back while flying
over Orange around three o'clock yesterday afternoon. But when we
(03:07):
took off there was a bit of a bang and
I thought there was something strange then.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And then they said we're going to have to turn around.
The can smell fuel in the cockpit.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
The Boeing seven eight seven suffered a suspected fuel leak.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
The plane landed safely with no injuries.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
A pilot has died after his light plane crashed on
South Australia's Air Peninsula. The thirty six year old Port

was flying crashed north of Cummons just after one thirty
on Monday afternoon. The aerotech aircraft crashed into a large

and to collect tracking data and maintenance records. Anthony Abernezi
is heading to Vanawatu this morning, where he's expected to
sign a five hundred million dollar deal before continuing onto
the Pacific Islands Forum lad Nata, James Comedy and James.
How significant is this trip for the region?
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Ediot Woodmark, Anthony Elwenzi's first official visit to both Vanuatu
and the Solomon Islands since being re elected. That deal,
if finalized with Vanuatu, could see five hundred million dollars
over a decade flow into development, climate and security priorities there.
It comes as China has emerged as a major player
(04:24):
in Vanuatu. Australia wants to be the major security partner.
Anthony Albinezi and the Vanuatu Prime Minister Jothamnapat will then
fly together onto the Pacific Islands Forum in Honiara, the
capital of the Solomon Islands. The opening ceremony was held
yesterday with plenty of pageantry and we've seen a lot
of gifts flowing. There was some sixty one police cars
(04:47):
provided by Australia, but not to be outdone, about one
hundred given by China, with plenty of soft power on
display here. The Prime Minister will arrive in Honiara tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Eddie, Thank you. James.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
The second policeman allegedly killed by Victorian fugitive Desi Freeman
has been laid to rest in a really moving funeral.
Fifty nine year old veteran Neil Thompson was due to
retire last Friday, was killed a fortnight ago in the
Poor Punker attack. His partner, Lisa, also a police officer,
said they were renovating a farm for his retirement. I
(05:25):
don't want to live life without you and I don't
want to finish our dreams on my own. Fifty six
year old Freeman is still on the run, with a
million dollar reward on his head and four hundred and
fifty officers still looking for him. Six people have been
killed and eight others wounded, and a shooting attack at
a bus stop in Jerusalem, Israeli police say two Palacinian.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Gunmen pulled up in a car and open fire.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Dash Cam video shows dozens of people fleeing as the
shots rang out. The two attackers were shot dead by
police is Radi Prime Minister Benjamin Netania, who visited the
scene with his security chiefs. Meantime, Israel's military has demolished
twelve story building in Gaza City, just ninety minutes after
warning residents to evacuate the area. Over the past several days,
(06:15):
Israel has bombed several high rises in the area as
part of its ramped up offensive. More explosions and smoke
were seen in Gaza City this morning, and the Gaza
Health Ministry says sixty five people have been killed by
Israeli strikes in the past twenty four hours. Police in
Nepal have opened fire on protesters, killing at least seventeen
(06:37):
people and wounding one hundred and forty five others. Thousands
of demonstrators took to the streets of the capital Katmandu,
angry at a government ban on social media platforms, including
Facebook and YouTube. Government officials say the companies had failed
to register and submit to oversight. Donald Trump has praised
a decision by west Point Military Academy to sell an
(07:00):
awards event honoring actor Tom Hanks. If the US correspondent
Rob Scott rob the President clearly not a fan of
the Oscar winning actor, no Eddie.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
But look, the feeling is very much mutual because in
the past Tom Hanks has been a very vocal critic
of Donald Trump, describing him as a self involved gas
bag and if he ever got elected, that would be
a dark day now. Hanks was said to receive the
Sylvanus Thayer Award from the prestigious west Point Military Academy
later that this month that to recognize all the work
(07:30):
he's done through his acting and producing career, basically to
portray America's armed services and its veterans in a positive life,
but that ceremony has now been canceled.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
West Point says the decision will allow it.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
To focus on its core mission, which is all about
getting its cadets ready to fight and to win wars,
and Donald Trump is cheering the decision from the sidelines.
He says, it's an important move and we don't need destructive,
woke recipients getting our cherished American awards. So it appears
the actor is yet another victim of the political climate
here in the United States at the time when military
(08:03):
academies like West Point are in the president's crosshairs because
just a couple of months ago, the administration ordered an
end to diversity and equity programs in federal institutions. So
while we know the ceremony is off, what we don't
know yet is where the Hanks is still going to
get this award, perhaps in a private event or some
sort of other format that remains to be seen.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Eddie, what a shame, Thank you. Rob.
