0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Today's biggest News from The Australian. I'm Claire Harvey with

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the Front's afternoon headlines rioting bitter accusations and a social

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>media maelstrom. Belfast is in uproar in the latest incident

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>of violent street crime in Britain's deeply divided political climate,

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>A twenty year old Sudanese asylum seeker will face court

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:26.759
<v Speaker 1>after allegedly attempting to behead another man in Belfast. He's

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>been charged with attempted murder. Footage captured by bystanders shows

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the attacker apparently pinning a man to the ground on

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a Belfast street and allegedly attempting to slice his throat.

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 1>There are reports he was shouting a La huakba and

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>God is great. Local police say they're currently not treating

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 1>it as a terrorist incident. Louise, does he ye, get

0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>off from your sun rup? Hurry up, hurry up, set up,

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>set up. A bystander intervened and began beating the alleged

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>attacker with a hurling stick, and then footage of the

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>attack went viral around the world, fueled by far right

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>leader Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk, who reposted Robinson's call

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>on the platform X for protesters to take to the

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>streets around Britain. Hey good for Hey. In Belfast, protesters

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>blocked roads and torched buildings and vehicles, while residents were

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>evacuated from a burning building in the city center. Little

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>is known about the victim, although Northern Ireland Police say

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>a man in his forties is recovering in hospital from

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>serious injuries to his neck, face and back. Northern Ireland's

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>First Minister, Michelle O'Neal, is calling for an end to

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the protests. She says the destruction of property by protesters

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>is nothing less than an act of cowardice. Assistant Chief

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Constable Ryan Henderson says the alleged attacker arrived in Northern

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Ireland in twenty twenty three and subsequently claimed and was

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:22.359
<v Speaker 1>granted asylum in September of that year. Henderson said police

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>have established an investigation to determine the motivation for the

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>alleged attack. Well, this morning on the front, we told

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 1>you Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyah who appear to be

0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>breaking up over how to deal with Iran, and now

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Trump's done exactly what he told netanya who not to do,

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.839
<v Speaker 1>launching a fresh round of attacks on Iran. A US

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>military helicopter was shot down overnight, and that prompted American

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 1>forces to target Iran's air defense and radar systems. In response,

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 1>Iran began firing drone and missile strikes at American military

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>facilities in the Persian Gulf. That's after several Gulf states

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 1>pleaded with Trump to an end to the war as

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>soon as possible. The Australian's got rolling twenty four hour

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>coverage of those huge stories at The Australian dot com

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:13.960
<v Speaker 1>dot Au plus tomorrow on the Front, Australia's experiencing our

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>own rise of the right, with Pauline Hanson's One Nation

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>for the first time showing up in polls as the

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>first choice of more Australians than any other political party.

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>So what's fueling Hanson's trajectory and why don't the other

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.799
<v Speaker 1>parties seem to know how to handle her? Come back

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.080
