0:00:06.670 --> 0:00:10.530
<v Speaker 1>I'm Christy Lloyd with your News 24 update. It's believed

0:00:10.530 --> 0:00:14.490
<v Speaker 1>34 Australians are among the hundreds missing following a fatal

0:00:14.570 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 1>flash flood on the Nepal-Tibet border. And a warning, the

0:00:18.230 --> 0:00:22.100
<v Speaker 1>videos you are about to see may be distressing. Surveillance

0:00:22.140 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>footage shows people attempting to escape thunderous mudslides which swallowed

0:00:27.060 --> 0:00:30.980
<v Speaker 1>large areas of land. Avalanches of water, ice and rock

0:00:31.020 --> 0:00:34.449
<v Speaker 1>can be seen crashing over homes and buildings. Police in

0:00:34.470 --> 0:00:38.850
<v Speaker 1>Nepal say they have recovered 157 bodies as the search

0:00:38.909 --> 0:00:42.750
<v Speaker 1>for survivors continues. The cause of the disaster is still unknown,

0:00:42.810 --> 0:00:47.650
<v Speaker 1>but a 4.4 magnitude quake had been reported approximately seven

0:00:47.690 --> 0:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>minutes before the flash flooding occurred. Qantas has posted its

0:00:52.900 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>yearly results and profit is down by 13% to $ 2. 06

0:00:55.300 --> 0:01:02.580
<v Speaker 1>billion this Flying Kangaroo has blamed the ongoing conflict in

0:01:02.590 --> 0:01:05.740
<v Speaker 1>the Middle East between the United States and Iran. The

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.140
<v Speaker 1>airline claims the crisis in Iran has affected earnings by

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>around $ 420 million.

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:15.540
<v Speaker 2>Fares have had to increase because the cost input from

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>the higher fuel price has been significant and particularly significant

0:01:19.250 --> 0:01:22.770
<v Speaker 2>for Qantas International. What we're just really focused on is

0:01:22.830 --> 0:01:27.450
<v Speaker 2>making sure that we're continuing to deliver on-time performance right

0:01:27.490 --> 0:01:28.750
<v Speaker 2>across the network.

0:01:30.740 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Farmers have addressed their energy concern to the chair of

0:01:34.220 --> 0:01:37.759
<v Speaker 1>the Climate Change Authority during the Bush summit in Davao.

0:01:38.340 --> 0:01:42.090
<v Speaker 1>One farmer believes the losers of wind power far outweigh

0:01:42.110 --> 0:01:46.270
<v Speaker 1>the winners. She expressed her displeasure at the imbalance between

0:01:46.330 --> 0:01:50.030
<v Speaker 1>farmers and those putting wind turbines on their property. Another

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.420
<v Speaker 1>farmer argues there is a more pressing issue.

0:01:53.820 --> 0:01:56.060
<v Speaker 2>When you look at the whole energy situation in Victoria,

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 2>we're coming to a cliff.

0:01:58.140 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Within 10 years, we're losing 70% of our production. So

0:02:01.860 --> 0:02:04.660
<v Speaker 3>I don't care if you like renewables or nuclear or

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.100
<v Speaker 3>solar or whatever, we are heading for a cliff.

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 4>When you're talking about benefit, it is definitely benefiting the

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 4>few at the expense of the many. And there's this

0:02:15.180 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 4>right to host that exists out there that, you know, David,

0:02:18.030 --> 0:02:20.070
<v Speaker 4>you have the right to host, but you don't have

0:02:20.090 --> 0:02:20.890
<v Speaker 4>the right to impose.

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.519
<v Speaker 1>The government's climate change authority, Matt Keane, says policy is

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.620
<v Speaker 1>needed in response to market changes.

0:02:28.500 --> 0:02:33.290
<v Speaker 3>Australia needs to respond to the changes that our trading

0:02:33.330 --> 0:02:36.010
<v Speaker 3>partners are making and that capital markets are making. We

0:02:36.030 --> 0:02:37.950
<v Speaker 3>need to make sure that Australia is well positioned to

0:02:38.010 --> 0:02:41.609
<v Speaker 3>take advantage of those opportunities. And that's what good policy

0:02:41.690 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 3>looks like. And when it comes to climate policy, good

0:02:44.620 --> 0:02:49.639
<v Speaker 3>climate policy should make Australian agriculture more profitable, more productive

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:50.820
<v Speaker 3>and more resilient.

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Police are investigating the death of a 16-year-old girl after

0:02:55.580 --> 0:02:59.640
<v Speaker 1>what's understood to be a suspected sexual choking act during

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>consensual sex. The teenager was found unconscious at a home

0:03:03.620 --> 0:03:08.690
<v Speaker 1>on Sydney's northern beaches on Sunday, suffering asphyxiation followed by seizures.

0:03:09.230 --> 0:03:12.030
<v Speaker 1>She was flown to Royal North Shore Hospital but died

0:03:12.150 --> 0:03:15.010
<v Speaker 1>two days later. And if this story has raised any
