Speaker 1: Today's biggest news from The Australian. I'm Claire Harvey with
Speaker 1: the Front's afternoon headlines. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netna, who
Speaker 1: will meet Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: and he wants the US President to keep pushing to
Speaker 1: get rid of Iran's Ayatolas. The two leaders fell out
Speaker 1: in spectacular style in June when Trump reportedly called Netna,
Speaker 1: who effing crazy? Back then, Israel was continuing to attack Hesbala,
Speaker 1: the Iran backed militia based across Israel's northern border in Lebanon,
Speaker 1: while Trump was trying to negotiate a peace deal with
Speaker 1: Iran itself. Now Trump's decided it's the Iranians who are crazy,
Speaker 1: as that peace steel falls apart. The past fortnight has
Speaker 1: seen the renewal of hostilities, with Iran firing on United
Speaker 1: States assets and allies in the Gulf and the US
Speaker 1: conducting airstrikes on Iranian territory, plus ongoing disagreement about who
Speaker 1: controls the Strait of hall Mud. Those tensions appear to
Speaker 1: have eased in the past day or so, with an
Speaker 1: apparent pause in hostilities. Trump says regime change is not
Speaker 1: a goal of his war, but Netanyahu thinks it should be.
Speaker 2: We'll take it for Iran to understand, either for this
Speaker 2: regime to fall, or for Iran to realize that the
Speaker 2: cost of reaking economic chaos to the world, murdering its
Speaker 2: thousands of its own citizens and shooting at everyone. I
Speaker 2: think when this regime is either toppled or it's sufficiently
Speaker 2: weakened that it knows it has to end its nuclear
Speaker 2: program and has to change its course. That's really what
Speaker 2: President Trump is trying to achieve, and I back fully
Speaker 2: his efforts to do so. If he can do so
Speaker 2: without returning to intense military fighting, that's fine, why not.
Speaker 2: But one way or the other, they have to end
Speaker 2: their nuclear program, and with a deal or without a deal,
Speaker 2: that has to come to an end.
Speaker 1: Trump will also meet in coming days with another leader
Speaker 1: he's fought publicly, Ukraine's Voladomi Zelenski. Actor Charlotte MacKinnon has
Speaker 1: officially launched an appeal against her federal court loss against
Speaker 1: co star Rebel Wilson. Justice Elizabeth Raper found social media
Speaker 1: posts made by Wilson about mcinness following a quote bizarre
Speaker 1: bathtub incident at the Bondai apartment of producer Amanda Ghost
Speaker 1: were substantially true. The judge also found mcinness suffered no
Speaker 1: reputational harm. Mckinness was also ordered to pay Wilson's legal costs.
Speaker 1: In documents file to the court, mckinness accuses Wilson of
Speaker 1: making quote dishonest statements and false narratives, and claims the
Speaker 1: actor gave false evidence. Check out those stories live right
Speaker 1: now at the Australian dot com dot a U and
Speaker 1: come back to the front first thing in the morning
Speaker 1: for our look at the drama engulfing Victoria's labor government
Speaker 1: and whether they can turn the ship around in just
Speaker 1: over one hundred days.
