1
00:00:06,415 --> 00:00:13,094
Speaker 1: You're listening to I'm on a MIA podcast. Good afternoon.

2
00:00:13,254 --> 00:00:16,215
Speaker 1: I'm Tully Blackman with the latest from the QUICKI newsroom

3
00:00:16,295 --> 00:00:20,535
Speaker 1: for Thursday, March five. The Senate has rejected a resolution

4
00:00:20,695 --> 00:00:23,855
Speaker 1: that would have forced Donald Trump to get Congress's approval

5
00:00:23,935 --> 00:00:27,975
Speaker 1: before continuing military action in Iran, with the House expected

6
00:00:28,015 --> 00:00:31,855
Speaker 1: to reject a similar measure. This comes after Trump ordered

7
00:00:31,895 --> 00:00:35,975
Speaker 1: strikes in Iran with Israel that reportedly killed Iran's leader

8
00:00:36,055 --> 00:00:41,614
Speaker 1: Ali Hamanehi and several top military officials. Iran has retaliated,

9
00:00:41,735 --> 00:00:44,734
Speaker 1: killing some US service members, but Trump has said the

10
00:00:44,775 --> 00:00:48,055
Speaker 1: war could last several weeks and promised to continue doing

11
00:00:48,095 --> 00:00:51,654
Speaker 1: whatever it takes. Even some of Trump's usual supporters are

12
00:00:51,695 --> 00:00:54,454
Speaker 1: starting to criticize him for going to war with Iran.

13
00:00:54,815 --> 00:00:58,415
Speaker 1: While most Fox News hosts remain loyal, prominent voices like

14
00:00:58,535 --> 00:01:02,014
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, and Matt Walsh have criticized the

15
00:01:02,095 --> 00:01:06,415
Speaker 1: military action, especially over what they see as Israel's influence.

16
00:01:07,135 --> 00:01:10,375
Speaker 1: They remain a minority within the MAGA movement, but the

17
00:01:10,455 --> 00:01:15,055
Speaker 1: disagreement has caught the White House's attention. Trump insists his

18
00:01:15,215 --> 00:01:18,615
Speaker 1: core supporters are still behind him, yet analysts worn that

19
00:01:18,695 --> 00:01:22,335
Speaker 1: if the war falters these early divisions could grow into

20
00:01:22,375 --> 00:01:26,935
Speaker 1: a more serious, lasting split. Australia has joined a major

21
00:01:27,055 --> 00:01:31,415
Speaker 1: G seven alliance on critical minerals, strengthening its partnership with

22
00:01:31,495 --> 00:01:35,255
Speaker 1: Canada as both countries look to have more influenced globally.

23
00:01:35,695 --> 00:01:38,775
Speaker 1: Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Canberra this week

24
00:01:38,855 --> 00:01:42,855
Speaker 1: to push for closer cooperation, calling the two nations strategic

25
00:01:42,935 --> 00:01:46,455
Speaker 1: cousins and urging them to stop competing and start working

26
00:01:46,455 --> 00:01:51,335
Speaker 1: together as influential middle powers. Carney said partnerships like this

27
00:01:51,535 --> 00:01:55,455
Speaker 1: are vital for security in a rapidly changing world. Prime

28
00:01:55,455 --> 00:01:59,775
Speaker 1: Minister Anthony Albanezi welcomed his fellow leader, noting that Australia

29
00:01:59,815 --> 00:02:04,615
Speaker 1: and Canada are already collaborating on defense, trade, climate change

30
00:02:04,655 --> 00:02:10,014
Speaker 1: and technology challenges, including AI and social media. Treasurer Jim

31
00:02:10,095 --> 00:02:13,735
Speaker 1: Chalmers is warning petrol stations not to rip off drivers

32
00:02:13,855 --> 00:02:17,335
Speaker 1: as fuel prices start to climb with conflict spreading in

33
00:02:17,415 --> 00:02:20,095
Speaker 1: the Middle East and key oil routes like the Strait

34
00:02:20,095 --> 00:02:24,215
Speaker 1: of Holmon's closing global supplies are feeling the pinch. The

35
00:02:24,215 --> 00:02:27,335
Speaker 1: Treasurer has asked the Consumer Watchdog to keep a close

36
00:02:27,335 --> 00:02:31,775
Speaker 1: eye on service stations, warning them against opportunistic pricing while

37
00:02:31,815 --> 00:02:35,775
Speaker 1: families are already feeling the cost of living squeeze. Meanwhile,

38
00:02:35,775 --> 00:02:39,775
Speaker 1: the opposition is pushing for tougher enforcement, arguing the Watchdog

39
00:02:39,935 --> 00:02:42,735
Speaker 1: needs to do more. It comes as many Aussies rush

40
00:02:42,775 --> 00:02:46,455
Speaker 1: to fill up their tanks anticipating even higher petrol prices

41
00:02:46,495 --> 00:02:50,095
Speaker 1: in the coming days. Greg Lynn, the man accused of

42
00:02:50,255 --> 00:02:54,415
Speaker 1: murdering Carol Clay at a remote campsite in Victoria, will

43
00:02:54,455 --> 00:02:58,375
Speaker 1: remain in custody after the Supreme Court judge officially refused

44
00:02:58,375 --> 00:03:02,055
Speaker 1: his bail application. Lynn's lawyers had argued he should be

45
00:03:02,095 --> 00:03:05,975
Speaker 1: released because the prosecution's case was supposedly weak, but the

46
00:03:06,095 --> 00:03:10,014
Speaker 1: judge didn't agree. Prosecutors stood their ground, insisting they have

47
00:03:10,095 --> 00:03:13,135
Speaker 1: a strong case regarding the twenty twenty deaths of Carol

48
00:03:13,175 --> 00:03:17,095
Speaker 1: Clay and Russell Hill. Lynn, who maintains his innocence and

49
00:03:17,175 --> 00:03:20,255
Speaker 1: claims the shooting was an accident, will now stay behind

50
00:03:20,335 --> 00:03:24,015
Speaker 1: bars as he awaits his trial. Harry Starles has spoken

51
00:03:24,095 --> 00:03:26,615
Speaker 1: for the first time about the passing of his One

52
00:03:26,695 --> 00:03:30,175
Speaker 1: Direction bandmate Liam Payne, saying he found it hard to

53
00:03:30,255 --> 00:03:34,375
Speaker 1: grieve in public. In a conversation with Apple Music interviewer

54
00:03:34,535 --> 00:03:37,815
Speaker 1: Zane Lowe, styles said it felt strange to have people

55
00:03:37,975 --> 00:03:41,295
Speaker 1: own part of his grief, explaining that while his feelings

56
00:03:41,295 --> 00:03:44,015
Speaker 1: were very personal, there was pressure to share them with

57
00:03:44,095 --> 00:03:44,575
Speaker 1: the worlds.

58
00:03:45,095 --> 00:03:48,095
Speaker 2: It's difficult to lose any friend, but it's so difficult

59
00:03:48,135 --> 00:03:52,295
Speaker 2: to lose a friend who is like so like you

60
00:03:52,375 --> 00:03:57,735
Speaker 2: in so many ways. It's like I saw someone who

61
00:03:57,935 --> 00:04:00,575
Speaker 2: just wanted to be great.

62
00:04:00,775 --> 00:04:03,615
Speaker 1: He remembered Payne as a super special person with the

63
00:04:03,695 --> 00:04:08,215
Speaker 1: kindest heart. Starles said this difficult time influenced his upcoming

64
00:04:08,255 --> 00:04:12,215
Speaker 1: album Kiss All the Time, Disco occasionally and taught him

65
00:04:12,215 --> 00:04:14,895
Speaker 1: that the best way to honor a lost friend is

66
00:04:14,935 --> 00:04:19,575
Speaker 1: to live life to the fullest. That's your evening news headlines. Tomorrow,

67
00:04:19,654 --> 00:04:23,375
Speaker 1: We're speaking with Umi Steins and Steph Tisdell about what's

68
00:04:23,535 --> 00:04:27,215
Speaker 1: most roastworthy and feminism right now, and why poking fun

69
00:04:27,295 --> 00:04:30,175
Speaker 1: at the movement can help keep it honest. Just in
