WEBVTT - Trump threatens to bomb ally Oman 

0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>This is Gabriella Power with your News. Twenty four update.

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Four Sydney Swan's players have been named relating to the

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>ongoing investigation into an alleged incident at a Melbourne hotel

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:21.240
<v Speaker 1>yesterday morning. Isaac Haney, Chad Warner, Riley Weiss and James

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Jordan are reportedly voluntarily assisting police with their inquiries. A

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>manager for a fifth player has denied their client has

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>spoken to authorities. No arrests have been made, but the

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:36.559
<v Speaker 1>club is allegedly considering standing the four players down. According

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>to The Herald's son, two women approached hotel staff demanding

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 1>to be let back into one of the guest rooms,

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 1>one woman claiming she had been touched and felt overwhelmed

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 1>about being surrounded by multiple men in the room. One

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>source claim she heard one woman tellstaff we have everything

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>recorded of what the AFL players did to our friend

0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>in that room. The Opposition has joined veterans in ramping

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>up calls for a cap on Allied health funding for

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>veterans to be scrapped. Veterans and advocates say Veterans Affairs

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Minister mat Keo was reluctant to meet over the five

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars cap until he was pressured by the Opposition

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 1>in question time yesterday, Minister Keyo was forced to have

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>a meeting with us at five point thirty. It was

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:24.199
<v Speaker 1>obvious he did not want to be there. Here there's

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>no sign at this stage of a back down. The

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Minister argues this change simplifies the system. Payments to health

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>providers will be increased as recommended by the Royal Commission

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and veterans won't need to return to a GP after

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 1>every twelve Allied health visits for a referral. The group

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>is requesting to speak with Anthony Albanesi following yesterday's meeting

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 1>with Minister Keo. They met the Prime Minister's senior staff

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>after this morning's press conference and if you need support,

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>you can call Open Arms on one eight hundred zero

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>one one zero four six One. Nation is planning to

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>cut tobacco excise by seventy five percent in a bid

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>to crack down on the illicit market. The party is

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 1>expected to unveil a tobacco policy to bring to the

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>next federal election after Labour stored on the excise cut.

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Pauline Hansen has previously backed a fifty percent excise but

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the party has since reconsidered the modeling. Under the new proposal,

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a forty six dollars legal packet of cigarettes will be

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>brought down to between twenty one and twenty two dollars,

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>with a three year pause on bi annual indexation. Donald

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Trump is threatening to bomb O'man after the US ally

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>is reportedly closing in on a deal with Iran to

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>control the Strait of Hormuz. The US President has maintained

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the waterway must be free and fully open. Speaking in

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the Oval Office this morning, mister Trump doubled down on

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the idea of America, claiming the strait as its own territory.

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.519
<v Speaker 1>We control it with the blockade. We have a blockade.

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>We control it with the blockade, and I like the

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>idea of declare. He also reiterated the main objective is

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 1>stopping Iran from having nuclear capabilities. An opioid reversal medication

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>has been found at the scene of American actress Hayden

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Pantie's death. Narcan was discovered in the apartment where the

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 1>thirty six year old died, while a dispensing device was

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>found on a mattress. No cause of death has been released,

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 1>but emergency crews referenced in overdose while responding. The actress

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.079
<v Speaker 1>was best known for her roles in TV shows such

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 1>as Nashville and Heroes. For the latest on what's driving
