Speaker 1 (00:03):
Good morning. We start with that major breaking news overseas,
and in an escalation of its war against Tamas, Israel
has launched strikes against the terror group's leaders in Qatar's
capital of Doha. That's your live US correspondent Rob Scott, Rob,
this is an extraordinary attack. How has the world responded?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Or Eddie?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
A mixture of shock and condemnation. Really, After these explosions
rang out at Hamas's residential headquarters in the Diplomatic quarter
of Doha, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin netanyahuo describing it
as a surgical, precision strike. But this is really an
assassination attempt, an attempt to take out Hamas's top political
(00:42):
leadership group as it met to discuss the latest peace
proposal put forward for Gaza by the United States. Hamas
says that six people were killed in these strikes, but
all of its leadership groups survived, and that includes its
Gaza chief, Khalil al Haigher. Now, the US military says
it was informed ahead of these strikes and then passed
(01:02):
on that warning to the Katari officials. But Donald Trump
is clearly not happy this has taken place. He's described
it as an unfortunate incident, but also somehow hopes it
presents a new opportunity for peace in the Middle East.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally
of the United States that is working very hard in
bravely taking risks with us to broker peace does not
advance Israel or America's goals. However, eliminating Hamas who have
profited off the misery of those living in Gaza is
a worthy goal.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
It really is a stunning escalation in tensions across the
Middle East, just as Israel orders one million people to
leave Gaza City ahead of its latest expanded military offensive
happening any day now. Eddie, Thank you rob.

sevierty and for the future of white children. I need
him to be brought to the Jesti.
Speaker 1 (02:23):

keep Victorians safe. The state government now under mounting pressure

critical incident investigation is under way this morning after a
police shot a man in Brisbane. Emergency crews were called
to a house fire at Winning West where they found
(02:44):
a bleeding man who lunged at police with a large
piece of glass. Fire Crews trying to contain the blaze
were forced to flee as police fired at least three
shots at the man. Officers gave first aid to the
thirty nine year old who was shot in the chest.
He remains into condition in hospital under police guard. You

but will forever carry his spirit, energy and joy in
our hearts. A n Z boss Nuno Mattos has defended
his axing of four and a half thousand jobs, saying
the cuts for a last resort to turn the bank around.

a simpler business that can compete more aggressively. Experts worn
A and Zed could just be the first of the
Big four to launch mass retrenchments.

has only intensified. The Parliament building was stormed and set
