00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome to the Update. I'm to Lisa Ryder. A

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: young father is now facing murder charges after a fatal

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: house fire in Sydney's West that killed three of his children.

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: The man is accused of starting the blaze at a

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: home in Lawla Park on Sunday morning, then allegedly preventing

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: police from entering the home. A five month old girl

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: died at the scene, while two boys aged two and six,

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: later died in hospital. The twenty eight year old, who

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: remains at Westmead Hospital, is expected to appear before a

00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: magistrate via a bedside hearing today. And your report analyzing

11
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: drug content in Wastewater has revealed that meth, cocaine and

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: nicotine use is on the rise across the country. It

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: also found that cannabis use has been declining, though it

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: still remains the most popular illicit substance.

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: So what we've seen in the cocaine market, there has

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: been a further increase in consumption. This trend started in

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: December twenty two and so that continued throughout twenty twenty three.

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: In the methyl and feathermine market, there's also been an

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: increase in consumption.

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,600

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty kilos of meth into Australia. The

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: forty year old's been arrested at Sydney Olympic Park, while

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: three others have been arrested in the US. Federal Police

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: Commander Peter Foggerty says it's been a joint operation with

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: US Homeland Security.

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 3: This was part of a broader PATSI investigation into the

28
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: US space syndicate. When HCI identified the syndicated plan to

29
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 3: send two hundred and fifty kilograms of meth and fetter

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 3: men to Australia, they notified the AFP and we started

31
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 3: working jointly with them. Australia is one of the most

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: lucrative drug markets in the world and sending drugs out

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: of the US is something we see quite regularly.

34
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: Police have rammed up patrols in Alice Springs after a

35
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,840

00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,160

Speaker 1: two thirds of Gen x's and millennials earning more than

42
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: their parents did at a similar age. I found there

43
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: is a high degree of what it calls economic mobility

44
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: and young people aren't trapped like their parents when it

45
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,720

49
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: match against Frenchman Arthur Files on Monday. The injury will

50
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: likely see him withdraw from the Paris Olympics. And in
