Speaker 1 (00:03):
Good morning you. As President Donald Trump has sent a
new deadline for Vladimir Putin to make a deal on Ukraine,
giving the Russian leader less than two weeks to respond
all face sanctions Larger Europe correspondent Ben Danny in Scotland
where the US President is Ben, what's made Donald Trump
change his mind?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Well, add Donald Trump, rightly or wrongly, sees himself as
a peacemaker, but one that's fast running out of patients because,
as he told reporters today, after having four phone conversations
since becoming president, after everyone that Donald Trump sees his constructive,
Vladimir Putiney says, turns around after them and either bombs
or fires missiles at Ukrainian civilians. So now Donald Trump says,
(00:44):
the time for talk is over, bringing forward his fifty
day deadline for a ceasefire in Ukraine now to attend
to twelve day deadline, and if peace can't be achieved,
he'll put more tariffs and sanctions on Russian energy and
also the countries that are training with Russia, allowing its
economy to stay afloat. Here was the US President delivering
his ultimatum.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I'm going to make a new deadline of about ten,
ten or twelve days from today. No reason waiting. There's
no reason waiting. It's fifty days. I want to be generous,
but we just don't see any progress being made.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
So after originally being far more aligned with Vladimir put
in the beginning of his second term, Donald Trump is
now learning what European leaders have known for years, that
there's no deal to be done with the Russian dictator.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Edie all right, thank you, Ben Downey there live in Scotland.
Freight and Logistics Giant Toll has come under attack by
Auntie Israeli activists in Melbourne. Mass Men wielding sledgehammers smash
three of the group's officers. The extremists accusing the trucking
firm of transporting weapons.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Armed with sledgehammers, a fire extinguisher and red paint master,
anti israel activists smash their way into three Toll group buildings,
destroying a revolving door on Collin Street and two facilities
in West Meadows and campbell Field, bragging about the destruction online.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Every week there's something different, a firebombed synagogue, a mob
attech on, an Israeli restaurant, and sometimes it feels like
we are being hunted in our own city.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
The chilling videos call for death to Australia and death
to Israel, claiming the Toll Group profits from genocides through
its partnerships with munitions and defense companies.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
The Jewish community is fed up with the campaign of terror,
intimidation and fear where anyone who's connected to Israel is
now a target of violence.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
You can't just go and take the law into your
own hands. It's unacceptable.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Police are now investigating whether the attacks are linked to
a firebombing at a Greensboro weapons manufacturer earlier this month,
and Anti Israel Cell claimed responsibility at the time, warning
online there would be further attacks.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
All the information we have about it you will be
distributed to our underground networks.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Told has told seven News it's taking the matter seriously
and that it continues to maintain strong security measures across
all of its sites for the safety of its employees.
No arrests have been made, Beth and Yeomen at seven News.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Meantime, City Lord Mayor Clover Moore has back to pro
Palestinian protest on the Harbor Bridge after Premier Christ Means
defied thousands of activists from marching across the landmark this Sunday.
Mister Minns said his government cannot support the protests that
could descend into chaos, especially with one week's notice. The
(03:58):
thought of them doing the same with our Harbor Bridge.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
I think it's abhorrent and the Premier was right to
intervene in to stop it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Ms Moore says a march across the bridge would be
a powerful symbol and urged the government to work with
event organizers. A stack of wooden palletts has gone up
in flames, damaging a factory at Minto in Sydney Southwest.
Fire Cruis responded around ten point thirty with reports of
flames shooting twenty meters into the air. Aerial firefighting efforts
were also called in and the blaze was brought under
(04:25):
control within about an hour. No injuries have been reported,
but police are investigating. Queens aannd's police union is resisting
calls through a review into the way shootings are investigated
after the state's officers shot four people in Townsville in
the past year. The Queensland Council of Civil Liberties has
stepped up calls for a review after a man wanted
(04:46):
for alleged serious crimes were shot near a shopping center
on Sunday. He remains in a critical condition in hospital
this morning. The Police union says every police involved shooting
is examined individually. There's been a eleventh hour reprieve for
public hospital patients in Adelaide, with Wednesdays doctors strike called off.
The state government is up its pay offer to the doctors'
(05:08):
union and while details of the revised offerer yet to
be realized or released, it's been enough to keep doctors
at the negotiating table. In place of the strike. The
union will hold a two hour stop work meeting at
the Adelaide Convention Center tomorrow morning. Legendary recent killed a player,
Nicki Windmar, will front the Melbourne Magistrates Court today for
(05:29):
allegedly breaching a court order. It's understood prosecutors are seeking
to have the fifty nine year old taken into custody.
Winmar played more than two hundred games for the Saints
and was inducted into the AFO AFL Hall of Fame
in twenty twenty two. He's currently part of a racism
class action against the league. The United Nations has urged
(05:50):
Australia to step up its clean energy targets, so put
our living standards at risk. Let's go live matter Josh
Martin and cambrid Josh. The federal government is being urged
to take action.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Warning.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
Yeah, a pretty dire warning from the UN's Climate chief,
who says there will be mega droughts, fresh fruit will
become a once a year treat, and there'll be a
six point eight trillion dollar hit to Australia's GDP if
global climate action doesn't ramp up, Simon Steel. We'll meet
with Energy Minister Chris Bowen here in Canberra today. The
Albenezy government is yet to announce it's twenty thirty five
(06:24):
emissions reduction target, and we may be behind on our
twenty thirty target of lowering emissions by forty three percent
on two thousand and five levels. The heat is on.
Australia wants to host the cop Climate Conference with Pacific nations,
and a part of hosting that would be setting an
ambitious target that the rest of the world approves of.
But nationals are politicians and former Deputy Prime Ministers Barnaby
(06:47):
Joyce and Michael McCormack are still pushing for US to
pull out of net zero to the cost, so there's
pressure on both sides and the government will wait to
see what they hand down with their target later in
the year.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Eddie, Now we certainly will thank you, Josh. The grieving
family of a Western City father is calling for an
inquiry into Blacktown Hospital after they say their dad died
because of neglect. Eighty two year old Dennis Carruthers died
after being discharged as medically fit from hospital with cellulitis
in his legs. He had received a home visit and
(07:19):
follow up care, but died shortly afterwards. Almost a year ago,
the state government promised thirty emergency beds would be provided.
They say safe staffing, ratio changes and a recruitment drive
are underway. Queen's and Premier David Christi fully is said
to face his first budget estimates hearing this morning and
is expected to be grilled on victims of crime numbers
(07:41):
across the state, which a CHRUSO Fully met with Acting
Police Commissioner Shane Schileppi on Monday for a briefing on
the stats covering the first six months since adult crime
adult time laws were introduced across the state. The Premier
has yet to release the figures saying they are heading
in the right direction with more room for growth. South
(08:02):
Australian Premier Peter Malanaskis is being sued for two point
three million dollars of her claims he had malicious intent
to damage a former MP's reputation. Annibaldijants is leading the lawsuit,
accusing the premiere of orchestrating a conspiracy to destroy her
political career. Malanaskus says all he's ever wanted is for
(08:22):
miss chance to leave him alone. Well Anset is alive
and will make a return, but not to our skies.
More than twenty years after closing its doors, the airline
is rebooting as an AI powered travel agency. Melbourne entrepreneur
Constantine Franzetzkos launched the site after the trademark period lapsed.
(08:43):
The website is built to organize pricing and scheduled trips,
making recommendations based on customer preferences. Well Snow could be
on its way to southern Queensland as temperatures fall, with
rain expected throughout the week. Mountain peaks along the Queensland
New South Wales border could see a dust but only
if a low pressure system remains active. Westerly Ekka winds
(09:05):
are also expected to arrive early across the region, blowing
it up to thirty kilometers per hour more in today's weather,
now mostly sunny in Brisbane and twenty tours there wait
those Echo winds. Partly cloudy in Sydney, in nineteen a
possible shower in Canberon, thirteen a sharwer to in Melbourne,
thirteen possible showers in Hobart and twelve a shower to
(09:25):
in Adelaide, and thirteen partly claudy in Pertin, seventeen possible
showers in Darwin, and thirty one
