0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>As two people have been killed after firefighting helicopters collided

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 1>in Greece. The helicopters could be seen hovering near each

0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>other just before the collision. They'd been combating wildfires in Attica,

0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>which is west of Athens, when the incident occurred. Fires

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>in the region have destroyed about one hundred homes so far,

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>as authorities issue fresh evacuation orders on the popular tourist

0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>island of Kephalonia. At least five people are dead and

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>forty one others are missing after a ferry caught fire

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:33.199
<v Speaker 1>off Indonesia's Maduro Island. The vessel, which was carrying more

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>than two hundred and fifty people at the time of

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 1>the fire, was en route to South Silawisi. It's not

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>yet clear what caused the fire and the ferry. About

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and twenty five people have been rescued, as

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>authorities continue their search and rescue operations for those still missing,

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 1>including the captain. A marathon trial will begin today for

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the former broadcaster Alan Jones is accused of indecently assaulting

0:00:56.200 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>and sexually touching six men over each seventeen year period.

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>The eighty five year old, who is defending the allegations

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 1>will face a judge alone trial at Sydney's Downing Center Courthouse.

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>It's expected more than seventy witnesses will be called over

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the next four months. John Howard has labeled Pauline Hanson's

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.479
<v Speaker 1>theory of monoculture as pointless. Writing in The Australian Today,

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>the former PM described immigration as a special character of

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Australia's achievement as a nation. He also pointed out the

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>lack of clarity around the word monoculture, saying he did

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.679
<v Speaker 1>not know what it meant in reference to immigration that

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>op ed in the Odds Today. One Nation has unveiled

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:36.119
<v Speaker 1>eight Upper House candidates to contest the upcoming Victorian state

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 1>election in November. Pauline Hanson is set to announce her

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>team to run in the state election, including a former

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.320
<v Speaker 1>bodyguard to Daniel Andrews. The announcement will take place this

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>morning before an evening event for the Party Faithful to

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>meet the candidates. Ricky Lee Tyrrel has been announced as

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>One Nation's candidate for Northern Victoria. Nson recently criticized the

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>state of Victorian politics to scar gribing it as a

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>basket case and saying that voters needed an alternative. Victorian

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Premier Ben Carroll is expected to appoint Colin Brooks as

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 1>the state's treasurer. Sources have told The Australian the new

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Premier will move mister Brooks into the portfolio in a

0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>bid to repair the state's finances. He currently holds the

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Industry and Innovation portfolio, but is believed to be well

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>regarded amongst Victorian business leaders. The new ministry will be

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>sworn in tomorrow. The Orchest Pact is facing a new risk,

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>this time from Donald Trump's plan for a new class

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>of namesake battleships. The US President's plan will put pressure

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:39.359
<v Speaker 1>on the same supply chain and human resource as the

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Virginia class subs promised to Australia. The US Navy has

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>confirmed in its budget that the new Trump class battleships

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 1>would be nuclear powered. It would require reactors from the

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 1>same company that supply power plans for the Virginia and

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Columbia class vessels.
