<v Speaker 1>Victoria Police have been conducting welfare checks after another Optus

0:00:06.860 --> 0:00:11.379
<v Speaker 1>network outage left dozens of people without access to triple zero.

0:00:12.220 --> 0:00:14.940
<v Speaker 1>More than 40 customers were affected by the outage, which

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:19.460
<v Speaker 1>happened at around 1.30 in the afternoon yesterday. Users were

0:00:19.550 --> 0:00:23.810
<v Speaker 1>reportedly unable to connect to emergency services for more than

0:00:23.850 --> 0:00:27.550
<v Speaker 1>an hour, around 76 minutes. The mobile network claims it

0:00:27.590 --> 0:00:31.670
<v Speaker 1>advised customers they could still make emergency calls through Wi-Fi.

0:00:32.260 --> 0:00:36.779
<v Speaker 1>Optus later confirmed people in South Australia, Tasmania and Northern

0:00:36.820 --> 0:00:43.269
<v Speaker 1>Territory were also experiencing intermittent call dropouts. An Optus spokesperson

0:00:43.350 --> 0:00:46.830
<v Speaker 1>says the company identified the issue within minutes through our

0:00:46.890 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>network monitoring systems and activated established escalation processes. The telco

0:00:53.340 --> 0:00:57.770
<v Speaker 1>says it sincerely apologised for the outage. A prisoner rights

0:00:57.830 --> 0:01:01.110
<v Speaker 1>group is calling for triple mushroom killer Erin Patterson to

0:01:01.150 --> 0:01:06.030
<v Speaker 1>be moved out of solitary confinement, describing her conditions as torture.

0:01:06.850 --> 0:01:11.310
<v Speaker 1>Justice Action is lobbying Corrections Victoria to end her detention

0:01:11.530 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>in a highly restrictive management wing where the killer is

0:01:14.940 --> 0:01:18.460
<v Speaker 1>restricted to her cell for 22 hours a day. Brett

0:01:18.500 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Collins from the rights group says his organisation hasn't spoken

0:01:22.180 --> 0:01:25.479
<v Speaker 1>with Erin Patterson, but other inmates had alerted him to

0:01:25.500 --> 0:01:29.260
<v Speaker 1>the situation. Justice Action has written a letter to Corrections

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Victoria requesting a discussion on Ms. Patterson's wellbeing and the

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.660
<v Speaker 1>possibility of a peer mentoring program. We're going to give

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.410
<v Speaker 1>you a first look now at Sydney's Olympic Park's metro station.

0:01:42.390 --> 0:01:44.830
<v Speaker 1>It's set to transport up to 25,000 passengers an hour.

0:01:46.730 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 1>To complement the 40,000 arriving by rail, the only station

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.660
<v Speaker 1>on the network with four platforms, a special event mode

0:01:54.180 --> 0:01:57.340
<v Speaker 1>will allow an increase in capacity if needed. The precinct

0:01:57.380 --> 0:02:03.460
<v Speaker 1>will also include ships, offices, a plaza and 500 apartments

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:08.930
<v Speaker 1>across two towers. Construction is set to begin in 2027.

0:02:08.930 --> 0:02:12.310
<v Speaker 1>Hoti fighters have reportedly taken control of a key island

0:02:12.330 --> 0:02:16.669
<v Speaker 1>in the Red Sea. Government sources confirming the Iran-aligned terror

0:02:16.690 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>group has claimed Perim Island as part of a large-scale

0:02:20.139 --> 0:02:24.620
<v Speaker 1>military operation against Saudi Arabia's forces. The island is on

0:02:24.660 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 1>a strait that acts as a gateway for a key

0:02:27.300 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>shipping route linking Asia and Europe. There's concern the move

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.430
<v Speaker 1>could threaten one of the world's most important maritime waterways.

0:02:34.950 --> 0:02:40.550
<v Speaker 1>Ahuti's statement said maritime navigation is safe for all companies

0:02:41.070 --> 0:02:45.220
<v Speaker 1>except for Saudi vessels. Tributes and commemorations have not been

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.510
<v Speaker 1>limited to the United States. In London, a special Changing

0:02:48.530 --> 0:02:51.790
<v Speaker 1>of the Guards ceremony took place at Buckingham Palace. The

0:02:51.850 --> 0:02:55.590
<v Speaker 1>Duke and Duchess of Gloucester attended the ceremony, along with

0:02:55.630 --> 0:02:59.850
<v Speaker 1>the UK's Foreign Minister, Ed Miliband, and the US Ambassador

0:02:59.900 --> 0:03:04.100
<v Speaker 1>to the UK, Warren Stevens. At the NATO headquarters in Brussels,

0:03:04.180 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>a wreath was placed beside a steel girder recovered from

0:03:07.340 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>the North Tower, which is a permanent fixture at the complex.

0:03:11.389 --> 0:03:14.830
<v Speaker 1>Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney recalled the support his country

0:03:14.889 --> 0:03:17.959
<v Speaker 1>provided to its southern neighbour in its time of need.

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.900
<v Speaker 1>When US airspace was closed in the immediate aftermath of

0:03:21.940 --> 0:03:26.700
<v Speaker 1>the attacks, many Canadian airports and communities welcomed thousands of

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>stranded passengers. Princess Kate has revisited the London hospital that

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>treated her for cancer. The Princess of Wales undergoing a

0:03:34.100 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>course of chemotherapy at the Royal Marsden in 2024. Earlier

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>this year, Kate completed the National Three Peaks Challenge, which

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.270
<v Speaker 1>raised funds for a new unit at the hospital. And

0:03:45.310 --> 0:03:47.430
<v Speaker 1>during her return, she said it was her small way

0:03:47.470 --> 0:03:49.650
<v Speaker 1>of giving something back and saying thank you. She met

0:03:49.690 --> 0:03:53.700
<v Speaker 1>current patients and staff and discussed the importance of support

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and holistic care.
