WEBVTT - FIFA scraps private investment plan

0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Hi am Atsulo with your news. Twenty four update. FIFA

0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>has confirmed it's scrapping its plan to sell a stake

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>of its business to private investors after international pressure from

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:16.439
<v Speaker 1>football powerbrokers. World football's governing body was lobbying for support

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:19.159
<v Speaker 1>from members to sell a twenty percent stake in the

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>World Cup, but in a stunning backflip, the FIFA president

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:25.159
<v Speaker 1>confirmed the plans would no longer be going ahead. In

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 1>a statement Saturule to Gianni Infantino, he says, we said

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>from the outset to do this, we'd only do it

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>if a majority of the FIFA member associations were in

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>support and always subject to a consultation process with them.

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Having listened carefully to all the views, it has become

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>clear the project has created divisions of nature that, regardless

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 1>of the level of support, are no longer in the

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>interest of the objectives set out in the first place.

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Our purpose has always been and will always be, to

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>unite and improve. As a result, this proposal will not proceed.

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>The government seven point five billion dollar scheme to increase

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>fuel and fertilizer supplies is facing star criticism from the industry.

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>The Australian reports most fertilizer importers have been locked out

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>of the funds used to underwrite companies to protect them

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 1>against losses on shipments. Of the many bulk importers and

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>dozens of resellers seeking access, only three major businesses have

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>been granted support under the scheme. Companies are demanding transparency,

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>claiming they have lost millions of dollars because of the program.

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Energy Minister Chris Bowen has defended the scheme, arguing that

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>participants were selected based on a national interest test. Wildlife

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 1>experts are warning of a tsunami of devastation for Australia's

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>wildlife as H five N one bird flu begins to spread.

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 1>A seagull in South Australia has returned a positive result,

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>taking the national bird flu tallia to fifty two. Seagulls

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 1>move between coastal areas, wetlands, farmlands and urban areas. Wildlife

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>experts argue the government needs to act swiftly.

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Very concerning and we've been saying to government we could

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 2>expect probably a wildlife disaster on the scale of the

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Black Summer bush fires, and that's why we need the

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Albanzi government to step up really quickly with the funding

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 2>for that wildlife resilience. We've been saying anything less than

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 2>a two hundred million dollar urgent commitment there isn't taking

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 2>seriously what's going to happen to Ossie wildlife across this country.

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.799
<v Speaker 1>Rail operator air Train has launched legal action against the

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Queensland government over its fifty cent fair scheme. The company

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>says it's losing three hundred and sixty thousand dollars a

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>month since the program was made permanent in February last year.

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 1>The loss is due to the state not paying revenue

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>adjustments for passengers coming or going from the Gold Coast

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>and suburban stations. Core documents obtained by The Courier Mail

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.359
<v Speaker 1>show air Train claiming six point one six million dollars

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>in lost fair revenue between February twenty five and June

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty six. Donald Trump has denied reports the US has

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:01.519
<v Speaker 1>agreed to allow Ukraine to build a treat missiles. His

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 1>comments come after a conversation between the vp JD Vance

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>and Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelenski about his nation's need for

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the air defense missiles. Ukraine's Justice minister told reporters discussions

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.639
<v Speaker 1>were being held with a Pentagon about a license to

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>produce Patriot missiles. The US President is doubtful and agreement

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>will be reached.

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 2>These weapons are incredible.

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>We have to be very careful about letting somebody build them.

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 2>So hard thing to give away that kind of technology,

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think this would ever happen. But you

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 2>know those people that you give that technology, they can

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 2>sub they turn on you.
