WEBVTT - PM Defends 'Pre-COP'

0:00:12.539 --> 0:00:15.700
<v Speaker 1>Hello and welcome to The Update. I'm Mike Humphrey. The

0:00:15.740 --> 0:00:18.260
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister has hit back at criticism over the federal

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:21.800
<v Speaker 1>government's high-profile climate meeting for world leaders in the Pacific

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:25.300
<v Speaker 1>Islands next month. It comes as a UN report warns

0:00:25.340 --> 0:00:28.660
<v Speaker 1>the world is unlikely to keep global warming below 1.8

0:00:28.660 --> 0:00:32.270
<v Speaker 1>degrees Celsius. Pre-COP will be held in Fiji and Tuvalu

0:00:32.300 --> 0:00:36.550
<v Speaker 1>in early October before COP31 gets underway in Turkey in November.

0:00:37.250 --> 0:00:40.290
<v Speaker 1>Deputy Prime Minister Richard Miles in Washington for AUKUS talks

<v Speaker 1>this morning. The Defence Minister meeting with US counterpart Pete Hegseth.

0:00:44.530 --> 0:00:47.030
<v Speaker 1>The federal opposition is pledging to legalise vapes in an

0:00:47.070 --> 0:00:50.590
<v Speaker 1>effort to stall Australia's booming illicit tobacco trade. A cut

0:00:50.650 --> 0:00:53.150
<v Speaker 1>in the tobacco excise is also being promised should the

0:00:53.210 --> 0:00:57.330
<v Speaker 1>coalition win the next election. Queensland Premier David Crisafulli is

0:00:57.370 --> 0:01:00.170
<v Speaker 1>in the US urging tech companies to build AI data

0:01:00.210 --> 0:01:03.870
<v Speaker 1>centres in Queensland. It comes a week after National Cabinet

0:01:03.910 --> 0:01:07.370
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister Anthony Albanese sparring with state premiers over how

0:01:07.390 --> 0:01:11.510
<v Speaker 1>to power Australia's AI future. A new study from AMP

0:01:11.550 --> 0:01:14.330
<v Speaker 1>claims three in five people fear their retirement funds won't

0:01:14.370 --> 0:01:17.130
<v Speaker 1>see them through. It comes as high cost of living

0:01:17.190 --> 0:01:22.090
<v Speaker 1>continues to harm retirement confidence within Australia. Overseas, Ukrainian President

0:01:22.110 --> 0:01:25.260

0:01:25.300 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>commercial airliners. The warning comes as Ukraine prepares retaliatory strikes

0:01:29.860 --> 0:01:33.729
<v Speaker 1>after days of sustained Russian bombardment. Sport and entertainment news

0:01:33.770 --> 0:01:36.660
<v Speaker 1>are up next. In sport, in the NRL, no late

<v Speaker 1>opening round 27 match in Sydney. Both sides looking to

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>end their season on a high, both out of finals contention.

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.140

0:01:55.750 --> 0:01:58.650

<v Speaker 1>In entertainment news, Bruno Mars has announced a second show

0:02:13.790 --> 0:02:17.790
<v Speaker 1>in Brisbane after fans rushed yesterday's pre-sale. Fans in South

0:02:17.850 --> 0:02:21.790
<v Speaker 1>Australia left wondering why the 16-time Grammy winner won't visit Adelaide,

0:02:22.150 --> 0:02:25.700
<v Speaker 1>the singer hitting every other cap city next year. Champion

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.700

<v Speaker 1>daughter says the 95-year-old was very happy to hear that

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.260
<v Speaker 1>Pearce was cast as him. And that's the latest from
