Speaker 1 (00:03):
The morning happening right now.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Millions of residents across New South Wales are bracing for
more dangerous weather, with heavy rain wreaking havoc across the state.
The ses received eight hundred and thirty call outs in
the past twenty four hours, with flash flooding causing widespread
damage and disruption.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
In Sydney, roads turned.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
To rivers overnight, leaving cars stranded at Centennial Park. Elsewhere
anything that wasn't tied down was it the mercy of
the rain and winds.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
The fins are traveling down the river By.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
City has seen almost ninety millimeters of rain since nine
am yesterday. Woollongong hit with one hundred and four millimeters. Meantime,
a rare tornado has been filmed near Young in central
New South Wales. The twister was captured on video around
one hundred and sixty kilometers northwest of Canberra. A camera
on a rural fire service tower caught the tone tearing
(01:00):
through farmland. There are no reports of any major damage
or injuries. Will have a live report on the weather
coming up at five point thirty. Police in Victoria are
calling for witnesses of a fatal hit run crash to
come forward as they hunt the runaway driver. A man
was struck and killed on Bacchus Marsh Road after eleven
o'clock last night in Lara. The man is yet to
(01:22):
be formally identified, but anyone with information is urged to
contact crime stoppers. A man has been charged by police
after a marathon chase in a food truck from Brisbane
to the Fraser Coast. Police alleged the man stole a
food truck, driving for large parts of the journey on
its rims with sparks starting spotfires right along.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
The Bruce Highway maybe star no on.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
The thirty nine year old Brisbane man has been charged
with dangerous driving and will appear in court today. Prince
Harry has come face to face with his father, King
Charles and London for a surprise reunion at Clarence House.
It's been nineteen months since the pair last met five
year of crosspond at Jacqueline Robson in London.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Jackie, this is good news.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It's been such a long estrangement, hasn't it And a
major step towards ending the royal family's feud.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Perhaps, Oh, it's a massive step for Eddie now. Prince
Harry has finally met with his father, and it's been
so long there was even real doubts that this meeting
was going to happen. Tonight really was the last chance
for Prince Harry to see his father before he jets
back to the US tomorrow. This afternoon we saw his
(02:37):
black suv roll through the gates of Clarence House and
spend close to an hour there. Now compare that to
the last time the pair met, which was back in
February last year, close to half an hour or so
with the King shortly after his cancer diagnosis six months ago.
Prince Harry was here in London talking about wanting to
(02:58):
reconcile with his family, telling the world that he and
his father weren't talking. So this is a major step forward,
an important moment. Buckingham Palace confirmed King Charles had a
private tea with his youngest son, but they said there
would be no further comment.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Over the past two days, Prince Harry.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
And his older brother Prince William have been at competing events.
So far they have not crossed paths, but of course, Eddie,
this is a major step, baby steps, even though we
won't see the full reconciliation just yet.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
But it is edging closer. Yeah, hopefully, thank you Jackie.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
As Rounding Tennis ledgend Layton Hewitt has been handed a
two week suspension for offensive conduct after being found guilty
of pushing a doping control official. Former world number one
has also been fined thirty thousand dollars following an independent
tribunal ruling under the Tennis Antidoping Program. The forty four
year old was charged in January after he pushed a
(03:56):
sixty year old volunteer anti doping chaperone following Australia's Davis
Cup semi final defeat to Italy in Spain. The Gold
Coast Acting Mayor has flagged the city will receive more
buses after plans to extend the light rail from Burley
Heads to cool and Gata were scrapped. The extension to
the airport was torn up over high costs, and community
(04:17):
Opposition Council says it's now likely the state government will
agree to extra buses without dedicated lanes instead. It's been
revealed tens of thousands of Australians are put at risk
of identity fraud each year due to identity documents going
missing in the mail. More than three thousand passports alone
were reported lost in the post over the past three years.

Australia and the vast majority reached their destinations safely and

for up to twenty nine hours in emergency departments. Westmead

fifty seven beds used by age Care and NDIS patients
who were ready to leave but could.

also Concord Sinta Napajinpa. Price is remaining defiant this morning

Susan Lee James.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Carmeny is in Canberra Forest James. She's been relegated to
the backbench.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Eddie.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
It was swift and unsurprising after the Senator was asked
repeatedly yesterday whether she had confidence in Susan Lee as
Opposition leader and repeatedly failed to confirm.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
That serving in my shadow Ministry is a privilege and
it is a requirement to have confidence in the leadership.
To just into Namba, jimper Price has failed a test
of high standard that I have set for members of
(06:09):
my shadow Ministry.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
In a statement of her own just into number, jimper
Price again tried to explain her comments about migration, but
did not apologize and vowed to use her backbench position
to campaign on indigenous issues, dumping that zero and slashing
migration Eddie.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Thank you, James Well.
Speaker 2 (06:28):

of him at training, prompting the club's boss to make
a personal apology. After flipping the bird, Smith walks past

has been crashed.

has announced plans to follow Australia's lead introducing age restrictions
on social media. European Commission President Urshula Vonderland has revealed
a task force has been set up to make social
media safer by banning children under sixteen. The eyes of

From the laws taking effect here.
