Speaker 2 (00:14):
Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi has condemned Israel for the quote
denial of aid and the killing of civilians, including children,
seeking access to water and food in Gaza. It comes
after a recent UN report that Israeli troops have killed
more than one thousand Palestinians trying to access food. In
a statement released by Albanesi earlier today, the PM described

(00:36):
the situation in Gaza as having quote gone beyond the
world's worst fears. Albanesi reiterated calls for a two state
solution and called on Israel to comply with its obligations
under international law. The Coalition criticized the PM's statement for
failing to quote place any blame on hamas a listed
terrorist organization for the delays in aid reaching the people

(00:59):

natural for a new government to undertake such a review.

steady whichever way the geopolitical wins are blowing.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
US President Donald Trump has welcomed Australia's decision to lift
restrictions on American beef imports. Biosecurity laws have banned y
US companies from importing their beef to Australia due to
concerns about viral diseases in cows. These restrictions have caused
trade tensions with the US, with Trump specifically calling out
Australia during his Liberation Day tariff address. However, the government

(02:15):
has now walked back the ban following a quote rigorous assessment.
Agriculture Minister Julie Collins said, we are assured that the
supply chain and the traceability and the safety of any
food coming into Australia is safe. In opposed to truth
social Trump said the US will now sell Australia quote
so much beef, which he described as the safest and

(02:36):
best in the world. US Trade Representative Jameson Greer called
the decision a major milestone in lowering trade barriers.

Speaker 1 (02:47):

malaria free by the World Health Organization. It's the third
country to be certified in Southeast Asia and joins a
list of fewer than fifty malaria free territories world wide wide.

prove it's not recorded a locally acquired malaria case in
at least three consecutive years. W h show Director General

(03:11):
Ted Ross Adnom Gabrieesaus congratulated Team or Less on the
quote significant milestone. The UN agency called it a remarkable
achievement for a country that embarked on a concerted nationwide
response shortly after gaining independence in two thousand and two.

became certified earlier this month.
