Speaker 1: Today's biggest News from The Australian. I'm Claire Harvey with
Speaker 1: the Front's afternoon headlines rioting bitter accusations and a social
Speaker 1: media maelstrom. Belfast is in uproar in the latest incident
Speaker 1: of violent street crime in Britain's deeply divided political climate,
Speaker 1: A twenty year old Sudanese asylum seeker will face court
Speaker 1: after allegedly attempting to behead another man in Belfast. He's
Speaker 1: been charged with attempted murder. Footage captured by bystanders shows
Speaker 1: the attacker apparently pinning a man to the ground on
Speaker 1: a Belfast street and allegedly attempting to slice his throat.
Speaker 1: There are reports he was shouting a La huakba and
Speaker 1: God is great. Local police say they're currently not treating
Speaker 1: it as a terrorist incident. Louise, does he ye, get
Speaker 1: off from your sun rup? Hurry up, hurry up, set up,
Speaker 1: set up. A bystander intervened and began beating the alleged
Speaker 1: attacker with a hurling stick, and then footage of the
Speaker 1: attack went viral around the world, fueled by far right
Speaker 1: leader Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk, who reposted Robinson's call
Speaker 1: on the platform X for protesters to take to the
Speaker 1: streets around Britain. Hey good for Hey. In Belfast, protesters
Speaker 1: blocked roads and torched buildings and vehicles, while residents were
Speaker 1: evacuated from a burning building in the city center. Little
Speaker 1: is known about the victim, although Northern Ireland Police say
Speaker 1: a man in his forties is recovering in hospital from
Speaker 1: serious injuries to his neck, face and back. Northern Ireland's
Speaker 1: First Minister, Michelle O'Neal, is calling for an end to
Speaker 1: the protests. She says the destruction of property by protesters
Speaker 1: is nothing less than an act of cowardice. Assistant Chief
Speaker 1: Constable Ryan Henderson says the alleged attacker arrived in Northern
Speaker 1: Ireland in twenty twenty three and subsequently claimed and was
Speaker 1: granted asylum in September of that year. Henderson said police
Speaker 1: have established an investigation to determine the motivation for the
Speaker 1: alleged attack. Well, this morning on the front, we told
Speaker 1: you Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyah who appear to be
Speaker 1: breaking up over how to deal with Iran, and now
Speaker 1: Trump's done exactly what he told netanya who not to do,
Speaker 1: launching a fresh round of attacks on Iran. A US
Speaker 1: military helicopter was shot down overnight, and that prompted American
Speaker 1: forces to target Iran's air defense and radar systems. In response,
Speaker 1: Iran began firing drone and missile strikes at American military
Speaker 1: facilities in the Persian Gulf. That's after several Gulf states
Speaker 1: pleaded with Trump to an end to the war as
Speaker 1: soon as possible. The Australian's got rolling twenty four hour
Speaker 1: coverage of those huge stories at The Australian dot com
Speaker 1: dot Au plus tomorrow on the Front, Australia's experiencing our

Speaker 1: parties seem to know how to handle her? Come back
Speaker 1: to the Front for that story, first thing in the morning.
