1 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the update. I'm to Lisa Ryder. 2 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: An international police task force says it's foiled a plan 3 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: to smuggle almost two and a half tons of cocaine 4 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: from Columbia to Australia and Europe. It's resulted in the 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: arrest of nine people in the Balkans, including a Sydney 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: man and his son. Officers have since rated fifteen locations 7 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: across the country, seizing almost two dozen firearms, vehicles, and 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: luxury watches. There's increasing speculation Joe Biden is close to 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: pulling out of the election race. That's after former President 10 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: Barack Obama and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined the chorus 11 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: of Democrats lobbying for his withdrawal. Former Biden adviser Jamie 12 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: Metzil says the writing seems to be on the wall. 13 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: I don't know whether he'll listen to Obama alone, or 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi alone, or Chuck Schumer alone. But what we're 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 2: seeing is a growing crescendo of everybody saying the same thing. 16 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: We love you, President Biden. We're so grateful for everything 17 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: that you've done, but the time has come to pass 18 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 2: the torch. 19 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: It comes as Donald Trump prepares to officially accept the 20 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: Republican nomination they convention this afternoon. Back Home and Prime 21 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: Minister Anthony Albernizi says de registering the CFMEU is not 22 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: the way to go, despite calls from the opposition. The 23 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: union's been evolved in scandal this week after reports emerged 24 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: of corruption and criminal activity in its ranks. The alp 25 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: AS blocked donations from the cmt FEU and cut ties 26 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: with its construction division. An independent administrator will also be 27 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: appointed to overhaul the union. Mister Alberanzi says the action 28 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: taken so far is strong. 29 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 3: If you do register a union, the union officials can 30 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: stay in place in an unregulated way. We don't want 31 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 3: that and I'm surprised that p Dutton seems to want 32 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: that to occur. 33 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: It's been revealed close to thirteen million ausies were caught 34 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: up in one of the biggest cybersecurity breaches in the 35 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: country's history. MediSecure, which supplies e scripts, fell victim to 36 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: a hack earlier this year, but now can't afford to 37 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: find out who has been affected by the reach, and 38 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: a new global survey shows Australia is no longer one 39 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: of the top five countries for a great work life balance. 40 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: Our Friends Across the Ditch in New Zealand took out 41 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: the top spot. Australia slipped from fourth to eighth, mainly 42 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: due to a decline in happiness among young people. Sport 43 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: and entertainment are next. In sport, Brisbane Lion star Charlie 44 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: Cameron is free to play after a successful trip to 45 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: the AFL Appeals board last night. The tribunal initially upheld 46 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: his suspension at a hearing last week, but Brisbane opted 47 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: to take the next step in a bid to clear 48 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: Cameron for his tackle on West Coast Liam Duggan. His 49 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: side will take on Ladder Leader's Sydney on Sunday. And 50 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: a massive security crackdown has swung into operation across the 51 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: French capital, a week out from the opening ceremony for 52 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: the Paris Olympics. It comes as the first Ozzie athletes 53 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: start moving into the Olympic village. Our male and female 54 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: hockey players. In entertainment news, and American man who made 55 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: threats against Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelsey has been 56 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: detained by police ahead of her first ears to a 57 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: concert in Germany. Police say the thirty four year old 58 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: Stalker will be kept in custody until the pop stars 59 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: shows are over. The Estate of Prince has effectively pulled 60 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: the plug on a documentary series about the musician's life. 61 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: Representatives for the family say the first part contained dramatic 62 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: factual inaccuracies, and the new trailer for the highly anticipated 63 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: Beetlejuice sequel has been released. When On a writer and 64 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: Michael Keaton are both back thirty six years after the 65 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: first film was released. Jenna or Taga also starring. And 66 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: that's the latest from the Nova Podcast news team. We'll 67 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: have another episode of the Update there tomorrow
