00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Morning Update. I'm Tina Quinn.

2
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: Extreme weather is occurring nationwide, with parts of New South

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: Wales experiencing its hottest day of the year, intense bushfires

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: in Victoria, and ongoing heat waves and heavy rain across Queensland.

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 1: A southerly buster brought thunderstorms and broke the swelter in

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: New South Wales yesterday, but Queensland remains gripped by intense

7
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: heat and in Victoria, multiple bushfires are raging in the

8
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: state's west. Watchinact warnings are in place around Little Desert

9
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: National Park and the Grampians. For one resident on the

10
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: outskirts of Little Desert, it was too late, Tony returning

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: to find his home of ten years gutted by flames.

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: That's the shed, machininger in that, cars in that, all

13
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 2: the cars there, swimming pool in the back, nothing left

14
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: of that.

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: And everything's still on fire. Everything's still it's all smoldering.

16
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's crackdown on immigration has moved beyond just people

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: living in the US illegally. Officials have reportedly issued bans

18
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: and restrictions on legal migration, including programs for refugees displaced

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: by violence. The President is vowing to go further as well,

20
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: pushing for violent offenders who might not be illegal immigrants

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: to be removed.

22
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: If they've been arrested many, many times, their repeat offenders

23
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: by many numbers. I want them out of our country.

24
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: I also will be seeking permission to do so. We're

25
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: going to get approval hopefully to get them the hell

26
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: out of our country.

27
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: Israel's ambassador to the United Nations says that the UN

28
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: Agency for Palestinian Refugees must stop its operations in Jerusalem

29
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: by Thursday local time. The Israeli government passed legislation last

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: year outlawing UNRA and prohibiting Israeli authorities from having contact

31
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: with it. UNRA says the move will be disastrous and

32
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: cripple its work in Gaza and the occupied West Bank,

33
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: but UN Ambassador Danny Dannen accuses the agency of colluding

34
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: with terrorists.

35
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: This decision was driven by unva's constant refusal to address

36
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: the widespread infiltration of its ranks by Hamas and other

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: tourist organizations.

38
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: UNRAH has continually insisted that it's committed to neutrality and

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: the conflict. Returning home and inflation data for the December

40
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,480

00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: inflation at about two point five percent, its lowest level

42
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: in three years, but it may not be enough for

43
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: the Reserve Bank to start cutting interest rates. Economists say

44
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: the RBA may hold off due to several factors that

45
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: distort overall inflation, including the recent fall and the Aussie dollar,

46
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: and uncertainty over the global economy. New figures have predicted

47
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: living standards in Australia won't recover the pre pandemic levels

48
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: until twenty thirty. That's despite record federal and state government spending.

49
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: The sharp rise in consumer prices over the past three

50

Speaker 1: Land influencer accused of drugging her baby daughter will appear

52

Speaker 1: in court today for bail proceedings. Police alleged the woman

53
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: took photos and videos of the eighteen month old child

54
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: to elicit donations. She's facing several charges, including multiple counts

55
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: of administering poison with intent to harm and torture. A

56
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: magistrate will make a ruling today on whether to grant

57
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: her bail. The former Victorian Premier Dan Andrews and his

58
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: wife Katherine are facing new legal action over the car

59
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: crash that injured a teenage cyclist in twenty thirteen. The

Speaker 1: Herald's Son reports the couple has been given twenty eight

61
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: days to apologize and pay compensation before the matter heads

62
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: to the federal court. Mister Andrews has previously said he

63
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: and Catherine are sorry the cyclist was injured in the accident,

64
