Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast. Mumma Mea acknowledges
the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast
is recorded on.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Hi. I'm Malaria Brophy from Mamma MIA's twice daily news podcast,
The Quickie with Your Headlines for Thursday September twenty five,
just hours after the PM and Trump were all smiles
in a selfie during their meet and greet in New York.
Anthony Albanzi has distanced himself from Trump's claims climate change

(00:42):
is a con job in his first national address to
the UN General Assembly. In a wide ranging speech, Albanezi
called for more action on climate.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Change and as a proud member of the Pacific family,
as a continent home to some of the greatest natural
treasures on the planet, and as a nation blessed with
the traditional resources, critical minerals, skills and sunlight and space
to power the global shift to net zero, Australia is

(01:15):
acting to meet the environmental challenge of climate change while
working to seize and share the economic opportunities of renewable energy.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Albanesi also appealed for greater international cooperation on climate change
and peacekeeping, also calling for the end to conflict in
Gaza and Ukraine.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
And it is up to all of us to bring
new strength to the United nations enduring mission, to renew
our commitment to the principle that peace is both our
common cause and our collective responsibility. The creation of the
international rules based order owes much to the post war

(01:56):
leadership of the United States of America. For the region,
Australia calls home that stability has underpinned a generational economic transformation,
but we cannot ask and should not expect, any one
nation to uphold the rules or guarantee the security on
which all of us depend.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
It comes one day after the US President delivered a
fiery spray during his unaddress, slamming nations like Australia for
recognizing Palestinian statehood and telling European leaders, your countries are
going to hell. Albanezi sits down with Trump in Washington
on October twenty for their very first face to face meeting.

(02:42):
In western New South Wales, a mum has been accused
of beating her daughter against a concrete wall for not
marrying her first cousin, Enam Hamid, aged forty five, and
her husband, Mohammad al Fudlee were arrested in April after
police allegedly discovered their daughter, Ronda, in their convenience store

(03:05):
in western New South Wales, with a metal chain padlocked
around her neck. Police alleged Hamid and Alfad Lee assaulted
their twenty one year old daughter on separate occasions after
finding out she was still in contact with her boyfriend,
who had asked the parents for permission to marry her.
Police say the marriage proposal has been refused as the

(03:28):
father reportedly wanted his eldest daughter to marry his brother's son,
the woman's first cousin in an arranged marriage. Hamid is
facing one charge of detaining in company and a charge
of domestic violence assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Australian law
bans marriage between siblings or a descendant such as a grandchild,

(03:51):
but cousins are permitted to marry if both parties are
freely entering wedlock. The case will return to Dubbolocal Court
on October twenty three. Greta Thunberg's gas Abound flotilla has
allegedly been attacked by drones and in a very weird twist,
jammed with Abham music activists and organizers of the floatilla

(04:13):
that's carrying a small cargo of humanitarian aid towards Gaza
say they heard explosions and claim their boats were targeted
by drones in international warders of Greece. In a statement,
the Global Samud Floatilla said multiple drones and unidentified objects
were dropped, communications jammed and explosions were heard from a

(04:37):
number of boats. There's also claims their radio communications were
interfered with by Abba Songs of Course from the pop
group Paling from Sweden, just like Thunberg. Thunberg spoke out
about the incident, calling the attacks scare tactics and music
royalty just welcomed a new arrival. Rhianna and Asat Rocky

(04:59):
announced their third child is here, a baby girl named
Rocky Irish Mayer's the name, of course a nod to
the new bubb's dad, while the the middle name is
believed to be in honor of Rhirey's father, Ronald Fenty,
whose heritage is African, Irish, English and Scottish. The couple,

(05:19):
who are already parents to son Rizza and Riot, revealed
the news in a sweet post on Instagram showing Rhianna
cradling her new daughter while dressed in a prettiest pink ensemble.
The second snap featured two tiny pink boxing gloves, and
last year, Asap told Elle magazine that he and Rihanna
were praying for a baby girl. The pair have been

(05:42):
together since twenty nineteen. On tomorrow's episode of The Quickie,
we unpack everything you need to know about the melatonin
overdose spike here in Australia and the unsexy truth about
gen Z living at home. Listen to The Quickie wherever
