on social media as Thomas sull faced police questioning in custody.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Day, Rachelle Brown. Seven News.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Neighbors and family members of fugitive cop killer Desi Freeman
are accusing him of being a hypocrite after he pocketed
hundreds of thousands of dollars in government welfare. Locals say
the self proclaimed so sovereign citizen has obtained welfare funds
despite not recognizing the state. It comes as playing clothed
Victorian police officers swarm properties in Wangaratta that's about seventy
(03:11):
five kilometers away from poor Punker in their ongoing search
for Freemen. An Adelaide police have charged to protest seen
holding a sign and tribute to Desi Freeman. The placard
showed his face with the words Freeman, a thirty nine
year old man has now been charged with displaying offensive material.
Adelaide co star Isaac Rankin has broken his silence after
(03:34):
returning from his Italian holiday overnight. The twenty five year
old forward faced the media at Adelaide Airport and apologized
for his homophobic slur aimed at a Collingwood player.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I want to start by saying how deeply sorry I
am just for what I said. There was no excuse.
It was wrong, and I take full responsibility. I'm disappointed
in myself and I know I've let a lot of
people down.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's the first time he has spoken publicly after he
was handed a four match ban. Rankin says he will
express his remorse to the clubs men's and women's squads
in the coming days. Donald Trump has made his first
official appearance in a week after his retreat from the
spotlight spark speculation about his health. I have the US
correspondent Marley Hogan. Manley, the President was back at work today.
(04:22):
How did he seem, Eddie, Good morning.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
He seems like his normal self during that press conference.
It's actually still taking place right now in the Oval
Office at the White House. He has been keeping a
low profile. As you mentioned, this is the first time
that he has been in front of the cameras taking
questions from reporters in a week. He was spotted over
the weekend playing golf, but he didn't take any questions
or didn't take any questions from reporters. He was also
(04:45):
active on social media, but him keeping a low profile
is unusual for the president, and because of that, it
did spark widespread but unfounded rumors online about his health,
with people online saying that he was ill or he
had undergone some sort of medical procedure. There has been
no evidence to back any of that up. Today, he
(05:06):
did make an announcement that the US Space Command headquarters
would be moving from Colorado to Alabama.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
And I am thrilled to report that the US Space
Command Headquarters will move to the beautiful locale of a
place called Huntsville, Alabama, forever to be known from this
point forward as Rocket City.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
So as mentioned, that press conference is still going on
at the moment. Unclear if he's going to take any
questions from reporters, but I'm sure someone will be sure
to ask him how he is feeling.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Ddie, thank you Miley. Shata's ambassador to China is skipping
this morning's massive military parade in Beijing, snubbing leaders including
Shiji Ping and Vladimir Putin. Is said our ambassador is

Putin on the world stage. Former Labor State leaders Bob

officially representing Australia. A group of Australian Isis brides stranded
in northern Syria are set to return home before Christmas.
More than a dozen women, children and some young men
are expected to be evacuated out of camps and brought
home to New South Wales and Victoria. Senior federal government
(06:27):
officials as supporting the top secret operation behind the scenes,
but will not offer on the ground assistance due to
security risks in the region. A Melbourne mother is reeling
from a carjacking nightmare after thieves drove off with her
two young children in the back seat of her car.
The heart stopping moment happened at Doreen, northeast of the
(06:49):
CBD when she turned her back for a split second,
two males jumped into her ford, driving off with her children.
The offenders dumped the four year old toddlers on the
side of the road at separate locations almost two kilometers
from home. The stolen ford and thieves are yet to
be found. Federal MP Bob Katter could be facing suspension
(07:12):
after threatening tirade at a Queensland reporter over question about
his heritage. The Greens have called for sanctions in a
written request to the Speaker of the House.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Mister Katter seems to think that there's one set of
rules for him and another set of rules for everybody else.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
They say mister Kata should apologize or resign. The Brisbane
Broncos have reportedly discussed getting a crisis manager for star
player Reese Walsh to oversee his social media content. The
Fallback has been back in the headlines for his controversial
toilet bowl stunt. It's Walsh's third social media posts this

during the busiest window in the season. Well, there are
big changes in American Vogue this morning. Chloe Miles has
been named the new editor in chief following the resignation
of Fashion Icon and a win tour. The thirty nine
year old is the daughter of actress Candice Bergen and
has spent fourteen years at Vogue. Mile was tipped as
(08:37):
a favourite to take the reins. Wintor has described her
successor as one of Vogue's secret weapons, speeking Wednesday's weather
