1
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome to the update. I'm Grace Barlow. Topical cyclone

2
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: Alfred is expected to weaken further before it makes landfall tomorrow.

3
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: The category two storm is now sitting about one hundred

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: and sixty k's east of Brisbane, with the Bureau of

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: Meteorology confident it'll decrease to a category one storm before

6
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: hitting the mainland at about midday. Brisbane Mayor Adrian Shrinar

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: is warning severe flooding could still happen.

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: Several hundred mills are very much likely across southeast Queensland,

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: but they can also potentially exceed the levels we saw

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty two flood, and so if that

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 2: is not a reason to take this seriously, I don't

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 2: know what is. While almost forty thousand homes are already

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: without power over the border into northern New South Wales

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: and twenty nine thousand homes are under evacuation orders, mostly

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,160

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: major flood warning. Schools are closed today and public transport

00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,800

00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: guards have been brought into Victoria's Avalon Airport after a

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: teenage boy allegedly breached a security fence and boarded a

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: jetstar plane with a shotgun. A seventeen year old has

21
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: been charged with a number of offences, including unlawfully taking

22
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: control of an aircraft, possessing a firearm and making a

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: bomb hoax. A second straight SpaceX Starship rocket has exploded

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: shortly after takeoff. It was meant to come down in

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: the Indian Ocean after blasting off from Texas, but contact

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: was lost when it went into an out of control spin.

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: Reigning debris over the Bahamas is also prompting a number

28
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: of flight diversions. Leaders from Ukraine and the US have

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: agreed to meet next week to discuss a potential peace

30
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: deal with Russia. Several countries have pledged extra military support

31
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: for the wartorn country at a summit of European leaders.

32
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: Back home, the federal government says it's still working with

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: US officials to make sure Australia is exempt from tariffs.

34
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is play to impose a twenty five percent

35
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: levy on all countries who sell steel and aluminium to

36
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: America from next week, but there are suggestions Australia could

37
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: avoid it because the US has a trade surplus and

38
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: researchers have discovered the world's oldest known meteorite crater is

39
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: in WA's Pilber region. Evidence suggests the crater was created

40
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: about three and a half billion years ago, which is

41
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: a billion years older than previous discoveries. Sport and entertainment

42
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: are next. In sport, the AFL season kicks off tonight,

43
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,120
