Speaker 1 (00:10):
You're listening too Amama Mea podcast. Mamma Mea acknowledges the
traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast is
recorded on Hi. I'm Rafaela Chicarelli from Mumma MEA's twice
daily news podcast, The Quickie with your Headlines. For Thursday,
the ninth of October, US President Donald Trump says Israel

(00:31):
and Her Mass have agreed to the first phase of
a peace steal for Gaza. Israeli officials and Her Mass
have confirmed an initial agreement has been reached, as has
a spokesperson from the Katari Foreign Ministry Humas plans to
release all twenty living hostages this weekend, people familiar with
the matter told the Associated Press. Trump made the announcement
on his social media platform Truth Social earlier to day.

(00:53):
I am very proud to announce that Israel and Her
Mass have both signed off on the first phase of
our peace plan. This means that all of the hostages
will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their
troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps
towards a strong, durable, and everlasting peace. The announcement comes
after days of negotiation in Egypt and Washington. It marks

(01:13):
one of the biggest breakthroughs in months in the two
year war. The top court in New South Wales has
blocked a pro Palestine protests planned to take place at
the Opera House fore Court on Sunday. The Court of
Appeal issued a prohibition order for the proposed march this
morning after police warned the protests had disaster written all
over it. Organizers believe the march would see around forty
thousand people descend on the landmark after marching through Sydney's

(01:36):
city center, just as Stephen freesaid a protest of that
size would have given rise to the risk of crowd crush.
The decision does not mean the protest is explicitly banned. However,
Attendees will not be given immunity for certain offenses such
as obstructing traffic should they go ahead. Police will also
be allowed to move on or arrest those in the Forecourt.
Hackers are threatening to release almost one billion records of

(01:58):
customer information which were stolen from almost forty companies around
the world, including Australian airline Quantus. The group has threatened
to release the stolen information unless a ransom is paid.
Other companies caught in the attack include Disney Salesforce, Google, Ikea, Toyota, McDonald's,
Air France and KLM. Quantus says its supporting victims. Per

(02:18):
a statement supplied to ABC, a spokesperson said, insuring continued
vigilance and providing ongoing support for our customers remain our
top priorities following our cyber incident in early July. We
continue to offer a twenty four to seven support line
and specialist identity protection advice to affected customers, and through
the ongoing injunction we obtained through the New South Wales

(02:39):
Supreme Court, we have legal protections in place to prevent
the stolen data from being accessed or released. A man
who was fatally shot while on an evening walk in
Sydney's Northwest on Wednesday has been identified as former UFC
fighter Schumann Mocatarian. The thirty three year old was treated
by paramedics but died at the scene shortly after six pm.
Around six fifteen pm, authorities were called to a nearby

(03:01):
road following reports of a car fire. Authorities are working
to determine if the two events are a linked. Investigations
are ongoing. Tarian Last Sport in the UFC in twenty nineteen.
In April this year, he was the alleged target of
a gangland hit at a Sydney mixed martial arts event.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports the event was canceled over
fears for his life. The reaction to Taylor Swift's latest

(03:24):
studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, continued to come
in and well. One song in particular has the whole
world talking. The ninth track, titled Wood, contained some of
the singer's most explicit lyrics to date. Forgive Me It
sounds tis me and ben my eyes Blodwood chet Ain'ta's
love was the key that many are speculating the song

(03:46):
is about her fiance, Travis Kelsey's manhood. Travis was ribbed
by his brother Jason over the song on their podcast
New Heights. While Travis tried to rebuff claims about the song,
Jason just wasn't having it. Very specific thing. I think
you're not understanding the song. You're out of your mind,
Jesus Christ, Travis, come on, Redwood tree ain't hard to see.

(04:07):
I thought redwood was a little bit. That's a US word.
I think that's your evening news headlines. On Friday's episode
of The Quickie, it's time to cleanse the news timeline
and get some good news in your feed. From Dolly
Parton's triumphant denial of death rumors to Australia's newest initiate
into the Guinness Book of World Records, we have a
rap of the good news stories that came across our

(04:27):
desk this week. Listen to The Quickie wherever you get
your podcasts.
