Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
A gangland associate and a lawyer are in hospital this
morning after a suspected underworld shooting in Western Sydney. Darwood Zacaria,
who has links to the Alambdine crime family, was shot
in the head when a gunman opened fire on a
ute at Paramatta. Local lawyer Sylvan Singh was shot in
the arm and the leg, while two others shot in
the back escaped unhurt.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
They were detained at the scene.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
To be honest, it's quite shocking like this is in America.
We're supposed to be safe. Here in Australia, we live
in a safe neighborhood that's supposed to be safe. You know,
we have children. It's just it's really sad to hear,
to be honest.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
A short time later, emergency crews were called to a
car fire at Maryland's West. Police haven't confirmed if the
two incidents are linked as yet, and the gunman remains
on the rum this morning. Police in Melbourne are investigating
after a man was found dead at a home at
glen Roy yesterday. They believe a fight may have happened
at the residents on Saturday night. The exact circumstances surrounding
(01:02):
the man's death still remain unclear this morning. For anyone
with information is being urged to come forward to police.
Authorities are searching for missing Queensland teen Phoebe Bishop. They've
brought in cadaver dogs as the hunt for the seventeen
year old enters its eleventh day. The specially trained dogs
are searching for human remains in the good Night Scrub
(01:23):
National Park southwest of Jinjin. Police won't reveal whether they've
found any items of significance and say any information from
the public will be crucial to finding Phoebe. Do some
break in news and a fifteen year old boys among
two teens charged after an alleged pre arranged brawl that'senter
Melbourne shopping center into lockdown. Shoppers ran for their lives
(01:47):
as one person was stabbed.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Ainsley Koch was at the scene.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Two people are in custody tonight and two people have
been taken to hospital with injuries after a fight broke
out between r gangs here at Northland Shopping Center in
Melbourne's north. The chaos began at about two point thirty
this afternoon and heavily armed police were called in. Shoppers
were forced to stay inside for almost an hour. As
(02:13):
stores were shut and the center it was plunged into lockdown.
Police swarmed on two people, one of them we can
confirm is just fifteen years old. They've been seizing evidence
this evening and as part of that they've located a
machete here tonight.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
There was like some blood on the floor and there
was just people crying, including like kids as well, so
like everyone was pretty shaken up.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I saw two guys with ski masks and hoodies, and
then I saw security following it. And then I turned
to my right and I saw an avalanche and people
screamed me coming from the food service, from the food court.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
It reminded me of what happened in Bondai. I was
assuming that on the lazy Yeah, it just reminded me.
I just seeing everyone run and seeing like the machete,
how big it was as well.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
The center remains shut to the public this evening and
several roads closed as well as police continue to scour
the scene for evidence and hunt for further suspects.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Thank you, Ainslee.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Tens of thousands of residents across the New South Wales
mid North coast remain cut off this morning, and floodwaters
are receding and the cleanup is beginning, but it could
be weeks before some locals can access their properties. Recovery
efforts could also be impacted by really bad weather, with
a cold front on the way and the chance for
more rain throughout the week. Government financial aid is available
(03:29):
already to those who need.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It in city.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
The hawks brun Nepean area has been told to expect
only a minor impact from Warrigamba Dam's water release. The
dam started spilling early yesterday, with about twenty gig eleters
a day being let go.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
The dam filled after heavy rain in.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
The catchment across the last week, but the water is
not expected to cause any flooding. Aaron Patterson's mushroom murder
trial is entering its fifth week, with the mother of
two accused of murdering three relatives and attempting to murder
of fourth person. Police alleged fifty year old Errand deliberately
poisoned a beef Wellington lunch at her home in lean
(04:07):
Gatha in twenty twenty three. Last week, foam messages seized
by police revealed the deterior ready relationship between Miss Patterson
and her estranged husband's family. Miss Patterson has pleaded not
guilty to all charges. Russia has launched one of its
biggest air attacks on Ukraine since the start of the war,
with hundreds of missiles and drones hitting targets across the country.
(04:31):
Live to Europe correspond at ben Downey. Then Russia in
no mood for a ceasefire, it seems, with the launch
of this huge attack.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Sadly not Eddie, if ever, there were an indication Russia
is only ramping up its war in Ukraine instead of
pursuing peace. Well, this is it the largest aerial bombardment
in the war to date, consisting of three hundred and
sixty seven missiles and thirty hitting thirty different cities and towns,
wreaking devastation across the entire country. And while Ukraine's anti
(05:01):
air defense was able to shoot down around eighty five
percent of those munitions, what made it through Well you
can see for the pictures here yourself. Vladimir Putin specifically
targeting residential areas, not just airfields, depots, in power stations,
killing at least twelve people now, three of whom were children,
and injuring dozens more. Yesterday, Kiev endured one of the
(05:22):
largest bombardments in the war, only for this to take
place today clear evidence. Vladimir Zelenski says Russia is dragging
out this war, saying the silence of America, the silence
of others in the world, only encourages Putin as he
called for more severe sanctions. This, of course, happened on
the final day of prisoner exchanges between both nations, where
(05:42):
a thousand captives have now been traded between Ukraine and Russia.
Really seen as the only positive thing to come from
the talks both nations held recently in Turkey, seen then
as a step toward a ceasefire that now in shelters
around Ukraine only seems so far away.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Eddie, Thank you, Ben.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
There's concerns this morning for a bush fire burning in
the Adelaide Hills, amidfears worsening winds could fan the blazes

local farmers have been battling the blaze through the night
at lens Wood in the Matte Lofty Ranges.

Wind gas over one hundred and twenty kilometers an hour
of forecasts from today, along with potentially heavy showers and
residents are being urged to be beware of falling trees
and power outages with significant damage to homes and properties.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Also a threat.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
A global investigation has uncovered the devastating crime wave targeting
and manipulating innocent Australian grandmothers into international drug mules. The
bombshell revelations were uncovered on seven News Spotlight last night
as Michael Usher, Marley Hogan and Denham Hitchcock went undercover
in Brazil, Japan and Hong Kong to expose the cruel
(06:54):
deception of online romance scammers not my Bag.
Speaker 7 (07:02):

New South Wales Parliament protesting reforms to workers compensation. Union's
New South Wales, the New South Wales Teachers Federation, New
South Wales Nurses and Midwives among the unions expected to

a claim.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Excuse me for Monday morning.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
As a new chapter in the celebrity recipe Wars, Brisbane
baker Brook Bellamy has spoken directly about the controversy for
the very first time after she was accused of stealing
recipes from Nagi Mae Harshi.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Here's what she had to say.
Speaker 8 (08:28):
While all of these recipes are personal to me, I
cannot say that I have invented the cookies, cupcakes, brownies
or cakes in the recipe book. They are all inspired
from somewhere and someone before.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Me, Mayhrshi, who's behind recipe Teneats, claimed Bellamy had plagiarized
two of her recipes and included them in her own cookbook.
Bellamy denies those allegations. We're taking Monday's weather Now partner
