Speaker 1 (00:04):
No, the news talks had been newsroom, this is NEWSFACS.
In this update, Australia's Cruising Yacht Club says the forecast
wasn't severe enough to call off the Sidney to Hobart
yacht Race in advance. A sailor on board the Flying
Fish Arctos and another on board Bowline died overnight after
being struck by sail booms about two hours apart. The
(00:26):
yachts have since been moved into shore, along with multiple
others that have retired due to strong winds and rugged waves.
Vice Commodore David Jacobs is promising an investigation to see
if the death could have been avoided. He says that
whether Bureau had forecasts strong winds to gale force winds,
these fleets can handle those winds easily. There are ocean races,
(00:49):
they're used to those winds. It was not extreme conditions here.
We have placed a rahue on Ohopi and Fakatane where
a man's been missing since six pm on Christmas Day.
Forty eight year old jumped into the harbor while fleeing
police after officers were called to a family harm incident.
Officers tried to get the man to come out of
the water, but he refused and swam away. Locals, coastguard
(01:13):
and rescue helicopters tried to find him that night, and
the police dive squad joined the search yesterday. Questions are
piling up about the fatal plane crash over Kazakhstan on
Christmas Day. The Azerbaijan Airlines aircraft caught fire while attempting
an emergency landing, and at least thirty eight people on
board were killed. Their speculation, it was downed by a
(01:35):
Russian air defense system after holes were discovered in the
body of the aircraft. CNN's Peter Gowles says the plane's
data recorder and voice recorder will be critical for determining
what happened. That will tell what's going on in the cockpit,
what the flight crew saw, what they were doing. Eventually
the truth will come out. Devastation for staff of an
(01:57):
Auckland CBD bar and restaurant placed into liquidation on Christmas Eve.
The Mediterranean style Vivarte restaurant opened thirty three years ago.
Its closure will leave twenty people without a job. That's news.
In sports, Indian assistant coach abershek Nia is downplaying the
(02:17):
impact of the opening day run in between Variak Coley
and Australian opener Sam Constace. Ahead of day two of
the Fourth Cricket Test in Melbourne, Coley was fined at
twenty percent of his match fee for colliding shoulder to
shoulder with Constance at the end of the tenth over,
leading to an exchange of words between the pair. Nia
is a confident tempers won't flare for the rest of
(02:39):
the Test due to the incident. You know, when you
play a game like that, there's always going to be emotions,
but I'm pretty sure that it's all. It's not as
big as it seems. Play resumes at twelve point thirty
with Australia three hundred and eleven for six. Liverpool have
stretched their lead atop the Premier League standings to seven
points after I come from behind win three one over
(03:01):
Leicester City at Anfield. The visitors struck just six minutes
into the contest, but the league leaders responded with three
unanswered goals, with Mosala putting the full stop on the
victory in the eighty second minute. That's Sports. I'm Sandy Hodge.
