1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: From the Newsroom. A newstcome today. The US government responds

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: to reports of drones over New Jersey, Ozzie parents charged

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: for faking their kid had cancer, and an actor details

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: the crappy gift he got from Russell Crowe. That's all

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: coming up in this episode from the Newsroom. It is Friday,

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: the thirteenth of December. We'll start in the US, where

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: security officials have given a surprising update about those mysterious

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: drone sightings over New Jersey. Residents have reported seeing drones

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: in the skies for the past week or so, with

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: many sharing videos on social media, but White Ho's National

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: Security Communications Advisor John Kirby has said they haven't been

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: able to verify any of the sightings.

13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: We have no evidence at this time that the reported

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat,

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: or have a foreign nexus. The Department of Homeland Security

16
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: and the FBI are investigating these seatings, and they're working

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: closely with state and local law enforcement to provide resources

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: using numerous detection methods to better understand their origin. Using

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: very sophisticated electronic detection technologies provided by federal authorities, we

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: have not been able to and neither have state or

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: local law enforcement of authorities corroborate any of the reported

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: visual sightings. To the contrary, upon review of available imagery,

23
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually

24
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully.

25
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: How about that? Still in the US, outgoing President Joe

26
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: Biden has commuted the sentences of nearly fifteen hundred people

27
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: and pardoned thirty nine others. It's believed to be the

28
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: largest single day active clemency in US history. The thirty

29
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: nine partons were all for what the White House described

30
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: as nonviolent offenses or nonviolent drug offenses. Back home now,

31
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: an Adelaide couple have been charged for allegedly pretending that

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: child had cancer. They shaped their six year olds head

33
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: and eyebrows, made them wear bandages, and begged for donations,

34
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: raising sixty thousand dollars to pay for so called medical bills.

35
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: The child was never sick, though, the forty four year

36
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: old couple have been hit with criminal neglect and deception offenses.

37
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: That is crazy to show b is an actor has

38
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: jokingly called out Russell Crowe for not giving him a

39
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: decent gift after they worked on a recent movie together.

40
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Taylor Johnson, who stars alongside Crow and Craven the Hunter,

41
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: told this story on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show.

42
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 3: I mean he was amazing. He gave like everybody amazing

43
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: rap gifts.

44
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: What did he give you?

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: He actually had this. There's one time he had a

46
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 3: useful watch, right, he had to protect Philip And one

47
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 3: day he said, he said, come from it a song.

48
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 3: Look at this, watch watch, look at this. Watch he

49
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: stays in character. That's not that's not me doing an

50
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: Australian accent, by the way, those and it goes how

51
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: muchs was the sorts watch? I don't I don't know, Russell.

52
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 3: I mean, Papa, I'm just Papa. No, I don't know.

53
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: How much? Is it? Five hundred? Word's slip hundred? I said,

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 3: will you know what they say about a partit for

55
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: lep And he looked at me, and I thought this

56
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: is the perfect time to quote back the campaign slogan

57
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 3: to him and said, they say, Papa, you never really

58
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: own a partit for LOP, you merely look after it

59
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: for the next generation. And I was like, I was like,

60
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 3: I was pretty quick. I was like, that's pretty quick.

61
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 3: I was like, and you know, I am, I'm the

62
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: older son, so and uh cut two. It comes to

63
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: his wrap, right and he's finished and you can hear him.

64
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Russell's giving out amazing gifts and things,

65
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: getting this and that.

66
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: And I was like, okay. And there was a young

67
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: Surgey and a young Dimitri because this is a pretty

68
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: much an origin story as a younger actor. Young Surgey,

69
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: he's given him a wadger cash like over a grand's

70
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: worth of cash and it changed his kid's life. I think,

71
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: all right, okay, So the bar is pretty high at

72
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: this point, and he comes out to me and he

73
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: goes and he puts out his hand and I instantly

74
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: noticed there's no watch. Okay, here we go and he goes,

75
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,000
