Good morning. This is sent seven World News in seven minutes.
I'm Nil Moore. Today is Tuesday, the ninth of September
twenty twenty five. Today we're starting in Asia and Oceania.
(00:23):
In Israel, Palestinian gunmen have killed six people and injured
twelve more at a bus stop in Jerusalem. The gunmen
opened fire on the busy bus stop during rush hour
on Monday morning, before being shot dead by an off
duty soldier and a civilian who were present at the scene.
(00:46):
Hamas has praised the gunmen as quote resistance fighters, but
did not claim responsibility for the attack. Israel's Foreign Minister
Gideon Sar called it a quote terrible terror attack, telling
other countries to make a clear choice. Are they on
(01:07):
Israel's side or are they on the side of the jihadists.
World leaders have condemned the attack, with French President Emmanuel
Macron saying on social media that quote the spiral of
violence must come to an end. Only a political solution
will bring back peace and stability for all in the region.
(01:31):
In Nepal, at least nineteen people have been killed during
demonstrations against a government ban on social media. The government
says that social media is being used to spread misinformation
and hate speech, but a group of young protesters calling
themselves Generation Z have accused the government of being authoritarian
(01:56):
and corrupt. On Monday, the protesters attempted to break into
the parliament complex in Kapman dou According to reports by
the Reuters News agency, police shot at the protesters with
tear gas and rubber bullets. In Australia, a woman who
(02:17):
killed three relatives with poisonous mushrooms has received her prison sentence.
At her trial in July, Erin Patterson was found guilty
of feeding a poisoned dish of beef Wellington to her
ex husband's parents and aunt, and trying to cover up
(02:37):
her crime by pretending the poisonous death cap mushrooms were
included by accident. Yesterday, the judge in her trial, Justice
Christopher Beal, sentenced Patterson to life in prison, condemning her
for her crime.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Your offending involved an enormous betrayal of trust. Your victims
were all your relatives by marriage. More than that, they
had all been good to you and your children over
many years.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
In New Zealand, a man who has been hiding with
his children in the wilderness for four years, was killed
in a shootout with police in twenty twenty one. After
an argument with his ex wife, Tom Phillips took his
three children into the wild New Zealand countryside, where they
(03:31):
have been living for the past four years, hiding in
forests and caves, only ever spotted by the public a
handful of times. Then yesterday, Phillips and one of his
children were caught robbing a convenience store. According to New
Zealand's Deputy Police Commissioner Jill Rogers, Phillips shot at the police,
(03:55):
hitting one officer in the head. Other police officers fired back,
killing him. All three of Philip's children have been found
and are safe Americas. In the United States, the European
Union's sanctions Envoy David O'Sullivan arrived in Washington yesterday to
(04:20):
discuss new sanctions against Russia. On Sunday, US President Donald
Trump had said he was ready to increase sanctions on
Russia as punishment for the war in Ukraine. However, more
than once in recent months, President Trump has promised to
impose sanctions on Russia but then done nothing. The EU
(04:45):
has placed sanctions on Russia on eighteen different occasions since
February twenty twenty two. In Venezuela, President Nicholas Maduro has
ordered troops to tackle drugs trafficking in Venezuela's coastal states.
Explaining the extra troops, Venezuela's Defense Minister, Vladimir Padrino Lopez
(05:10):
said quote, no one is going to come and do
the work for us. No one is going to step
on this land and do what we are supposed to do,
a comment seemingly directed at the United States, which in
recent weeks has been moving military ships and planes to
(05:31):
the area around Venezuela. Last Wednesday, US President Donald Trump
said that the US military had killed eleven people in
a strike on a boat traveling from Venezuela, which Trump
said was carrying drugs. Africa. In Ethiopia, the annual Africa
(05:57):
Climate Summit began on Monday in the capital city Addis Ababa.

of solar panels. According to energy think tank ember, in

(06:18):
countries rose by sixty percent. African leaders see this summit
as an opportunity to increase investment in green energy, even More,
the chairperson of the African Union Commission, Mahmud Ali Yusuf,
called the summit a quote decisive moment for Africa to
(06:41):
unite in pursuit of climate justice. In Uganda, police have
arrested Alix Wayiswa Muffumbiro, a senior official in the National
Unity Platform political party. Mufumbiro was arrested on money outside
of a courthouse in the Ugandan capital Kampala, where he
(07:06):
had been visiting colleagues from his party. Police spokesperson Kituma
Russoque confirmed that mister Muffumbiro had been arrested, but did
not give a reason why. Europe, in France, the Prime
Minister Francois Beeru has resigned after losing a vote of
(07:31):
no confidence. The French parliament is very divided, with no
party having a clear majority. This means it's difficult for
the prime minister to pass laws and easy for opposition
parties to join together and vote those prime ministers out.
In France, the President Emmanuel Macron is responsible for a
(07:55):
point in the prime minister, but this is the fourth
prime minister that Macron has appointed in two years, and
now that Bahu has resigned, Macron's political opponents are demanding
that he calls a national election. Spain's Prime Minister Pedro
Sanchez has said that Israel is quote exterminating a defenseless people,
(08:22):
killing innocent boys and girls with hunger. Amongst European leaders,
Sanchez has been one of the loudest critics of Israel
and its war in Gaza. The Israeli government responded to
Sanchez immediately, calling his rhetoric quote wild and hateful. And
(08:44):
in southern Germany, a prankster who harassed the residents of
an apartment bloc turned out to be a slug. Multiple
people rang the police when their doorbells started ringing late
at night. They suspected children or pranksters, but when the
police arrived, they couldn't find anyone, though the doorbells kept ringing. Eventually,
(09:10):
a slug was found crawling near the front door, having
left trails of slime across the apartment building's doorbell panel.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
