Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good morning, straight of breaking news, and it's been a
tumultuous day overseas as Donald Trump broke it a cease
fire deal between Israel and Iran, only for it to
be violated within hours. The president furious, lashing out against
both countries this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, okay,
now you have twelve hours, you don't go out in
the first hour. It just drop everything you have on them.
So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with
Iran either. We basically have two countries that have been
fighting so long and so hard that they don't know
what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
You understand that Iran has been accused of a missile
strike almost immediately after the ceasefire began. Our team of
reporters are keeping you across the latest Development's First life
to Marley Hogan in Washington, Marley, morning to you Trump.
They're visibly furious. We rarely if ever see that language publicly.
From a year as president. Where to were this deal?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Now?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Eddie very visibly furious and frustrated. Donald Trump sharply criticizing
both Israel and Iran. He criticized Iran and Israel for
both allegedly breaking this ceasefire. It's been reported that Iran
launched a missile attack on Israel. Israel then responding. Iran
later denied that it broke the ceasefire, conflicting narratives coming
(01:30):
from both sides there. But US President Donald Trump after
those comments, after he got on air Force One, said
that he called Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin netnya who and
had a very firm and direct conversation with him, and
that now Israel's prime minister had turned around planes that
were allegedly on the way to Iran. He also said
(01:50):
in that same conversation that he now no longer wants
regime change in Iran. He just wants this situation to
calm down. Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I don't want it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I'd like to see everything came down as quickly as fast.
Regime change takes chaos, and ideally we don't want to
see so much chaos. So we'll see how it does.
They won't having a good way, and I will tell
you the last thing on their mind, just help their weapons.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Both Iran and Israel have now made comments, and although
this ceasefire appears shaky, it does appear that at this
stage it is holding Eddie.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Thank you Miley. Now to the Middle East, and Israel
has been put on alert with those fresh strikes. After
the ceasefire was an outside the Jacqueline Robson in Tel Aviv, Jackie.
Amid the chaos, there is some good news. Some Australians
have been able.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
To leave well. Anywhile the uncertainty on whether or not
this ceasefire would hold. There was an raaf KC thirty
full of Australians who took off from Benguri and Airport
here in Tel Aviv, bound for Dubai. There were one
hundred and nineteen Australians who were on board and clapped
(03:03):
as they landed on the tarmac. Is the first repatriation
flight out of Israel, and it won't be the last.
We are expecting another one to leave tomorrow and there
could be more to come this week. The airspaces over
Israel and Iran have now reopened, allowing commercial flights to resume. However,
there is an incredibly long backlog. Life is getting back
(03:24):
to normal now here in Israel. The state of emergency
has been wound back. It means people can go to work,
they can go to school and also gather in public settings,
and it's an incredibly shift from them. This morning where
we saw four tragic deaths in Beshiba from an Iranian
missile strike. A family had been sheltering inside a safe
(03:46):
room when that safe room was directly hit by a
ballistic missile, killing them instantly. So while people will go
back to school and to work tomorrow, in Bieshiva, they're
decided to not hold school kindergarten out of respect.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Eddie and Jackie, you've been speaking with many Israelis there.
What are they feeling about this seat on and off
ceasefire over the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Eddie, People here are I guess, cautiously optimistic that this
cease fire would hold. There is an incredible lack of
trust between the two countries, so naturally they're holding their breath,
not too sure whether to believe it or not. If anything,
they're thankful that they'll get a good night's sleep tonight,
possibly no air raid sirens, no sounds of explosions waking
(04:35):
them up and rattling their homes, so it's just a
wait and see. They want to be hopeful that this
cease fire will hold, but of course, with a lack
of trust. It's cautious optimism.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yes, small reprieve, thank you. The ceasefire talks have come
at a crucial time. Just as world leaders arrive in
the Netherlands for the NATO summit, Trump has moments ago
touchdown ow Ben Downey is there reporting live from the
Hague Ben There won't be a meeting with Australia, but
obviously the conflict in the Middle East dominating procedures there.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Yeah, absolutely, but it doesn't suppress the fact that this
is really a disappointment for Australia. It appears that Trump
has brushed Australia not once but twice at the G
seven and now here at this NATO summit. Originally his
name was on a meeting of Indo Pacific leaders, Australia
and himself to meet tomorrow afternoon, but now it's been
struck from the schedule. The US President, you say, landed
(05:31):
in the Netherlands ahead of this meeting with the Dutch
Ray family this evening, and the NATO Secretary General Mark Ruter,
who's sparked a bit of a storm himself after a
text message of his to Trump was leaked celebrating getting
Europe to cough up more cash as a percent of
their GDP for defense, and in this text message he writes,
We've got them all signed on to five percent, something
no other US president in decades could get done. Europe
(05:54):
is going to pay in a big way. Not the
language that'll be welcomed to buy many nations, but also
not a commit and Australia will be held to potential reason.
This meeting looks all but dashed.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I'll be meeting with my defense counterparts, so it's not
something I'm expecting to be here at the NATO summit.
He's a genuinely important gathering in terms of the connectedness
between our two regions and us better understanding what's happening
in Europe and how that very much influences the way
in which we are thinking about our own strategic direction
(06:27):
and our own defense posture.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
It also explains why Anthy Alberanezi didn't make the trip
to the Hay, likely not wanting to be snubbed by
Trump twice.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
All right, Ben Jackie Miley will come back to all
of you during sunrise. Thank you for that update. Thousands
of Ustoning travelers are nervously watching their flight bookings this
morning as the conflict in the Middle East continues to
throw plans into chaos. Multiple flights to the area and
Europe were suspended or diverted yesterday. Quantus says it expects
(06:59):
flight will operate as scheduled today. Customers will be contacted
directly about any changes to their bookings. Moving on to
other news this morning now and An innocent man was
left for dead after a brutal stabbing outside his Guildford
home yesterday morning. In a case of mistaken identity. Thugs
were targeting sixty two year old Bassam's son Emilio, who's
(07:22):
a bodyguard for alleged Alamedine crime associate Ali Uniz when
they attacked him instead.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Oh you're running from down that street round the cornery.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
So he was being chased good and bashed with a
baseball bad.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
He remains in hospital as police ramp up the search
for his attackers. Accused mushroom killer Aaron Patterson's Marathon murder
trial is coming to an end. The jury is expected
to receive the judge's final instructions this morning before beginning
deliberations on Patterson's fate. The Supreme Court Justice Christopher Beale
warned the jury on Tuesday let sympathy cloud their judgment.
(08:03):
Justice Biale spent much of the day recapping trial evidence,
explaining how the jury should treat things like inconsistencies and
hearsay evidence. The owner of a home which burned in
Brisbane South is under investigation for running a crowded sharehouse
with no smoke alarms. Eleven tenants, including young children, had
(08:24):
to run for their lives in the middle of the night.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Thank you, there's no smackler. No smackler. It's very concerning,
you know.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
This could have had a very completely different outcome if
they were all asleep. The fire is thought to have
been sparked by a stove left unattended. Liberal Party leaders
is in legal today outline how the party plans to
rebuild trust in its voters after admitting it was smashed
at the last election. The opposition leader will use an
(08:55):
address at today's National Press Club to comment on the
party's new approach to policy, outlining priority areas for the
next three years. As Miss Lee says, the Opposition aims
to restore living standards and reward aspirational Australians. Well power
bills are set to rise for customers of two of
Australia's biggest electricity retailers, Linter and Energy Australia, will raise
(09:18):
prices for customers in New South Wales by eleven percent
and eight point seven percent, respectively. Prices are also set
to rise by slightly smaller amounts in the Act Queensland,
South Australia and Victoria. The move could see customers having
to pay an average of two hundred and fifteen dollars
extra on their annual bills. South Australian doctors will walk
(09:42):
off the job this morning as they fight for better pay.
Around three thousand will stop work for an hour from
eight thirty am to nine thirty am, demanding a thirty
percent pay rise over the next three years. The state
government has so far offered ten percent.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I want to pay our doctors more than that.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I'm committed to delivering wage increases.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Over above the rate of inflation. The union says patient
safety won't be compromised during the strike. The man convicted
of the brutal killing of British backpacker Peter Falconio has
been transferred out of jail and into palliative care. Sixty
seven year old Bradley John Murdoch is in extremely poor
health and confined to a wheelchair. He will spend his
(10:26):
remaining days at the Alice Springs Hospital after being diagnosed
with terminal throat cancer. Six years ago, Murdock fatally shot
Falconio and attempted to abduct his girlfriend Joanne Lees in
the Outback in two thousand and one. The backpacker's body
has never been found. Back of Queensland is due to
(10:47):
close nine branches across the country, with the bank's home
states set to be hit the hardest with foreclosures. The
next wave of closures will see branch doors close across
Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland. The bankers pledged
to redeploy thirty staff from the closing branches, but concerns
remain that some staff will face job losses or relocation difficulties.
(11:11):
A fast moving cold snap is bringing sub zero temperatures
to parts of southeast queens Are this morning, with strong
winds set to hit Brisbane. Winds of up to forty
kilometers per hour or forecast for this morning before dropping
off around the afternoon. Meantime, Victoria's coastline is being smashed
