1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: From the Newsroom. A news still come today, a massive

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: NRL announcement, a shocking home invasion in the top end,

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: and Jim Carey reveals the real reason he came out

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: of retirement. That's all coming up in this episode of

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: From the Newsroom. It's Thursday, the twelfth of December. We'll

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: start in the Northern Territory. Two teenage boys have been

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: arrested after a terrifying home invasion that left a baby

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: seriously injured. The sixteen and seventeen year old allegedly broke

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: into a house in Alice Springs on Wednesday afternoon and

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: assaulted a mum of four who was holding her infant.

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 1: The baby suffered a blow to the head and has

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: been flown to Adelaide for treatment. In other news, it's official.

13
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: A team from Papa New Guinea is said to join

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: the NRL in twenty twenty eight. The move was announced

15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: today by Anthony Albernizi, with the Australian government to spend

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: six hundred million dollars over ten years to fund the initiative.

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 2: Rugby League is P and j's national sport and PNNG

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: deserves a national team. The new team will belong to

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 2: the people of Papua New Guinea. It will call Port

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: Moresby home, and I know it will have millions, literally

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: of proud fans barracking for it from day one.

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: To the US there's still a lot of confusion over

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: a number of drone sightings in the skies above New Jersey. Now,

24
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: these drones, which have been described as sophisticated, have been

25
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 1: flying in the area for more than a week now.

26
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: A congressman made this pretty wild claim on TV this morning.

27
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: Iran launched a mothership, probably about a month ago that

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: contains these drones. That mothership is off I'm gonna tell

29
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: you the deal. It's off the east coast of the

30
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: United States of America. They've launched drones. Is everything that

31
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: we can see or here, and again these are from

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: high sources. I don't see this lately.

33
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: The Pentagon then responded to those claims. There is not

34
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: any truth to that. There is no Iranian ship off

35
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: the coast of the United States, and there's no so

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: called mothership launching drones towards the United States. Officials have

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: not yet revealed where the drones are actually coming from,

38
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: and the FBI is investigating. To show Biz Now, Jim

39
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: Carey has explained why he decided to come out of

40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: retirement to play Doctor Robotnik in Sonic the Hedgehog three.

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 2: I came back to this universe because, first of all,

42
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: I get to play a genius, which is a bit

43
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: of a stretch.

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: And you know it's I bought a lot of stuff

45
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: and I need the money. Frankly, yeah, I wonder how

46
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: much stuff he actually bought. And Channel seven has announced

47
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: who will replace Matt Doran as co host of Weekend Sunrise.

48
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: David Woywood, who up until recently was seven's US breureau chief,

49
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: has landed the high profile gig. He'll join Monique right

50
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: on the couch on Saturdays and Sundays. A little bit

51
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: more sport for you now. FIFA has announced that Saudi

52
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: Arabia will host the twenty thirty four World Cup. The

53
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: decision has been slammed by Amnesty International, which has highlighted

54
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,680
