Speaker 1: that make the price, They're the people who serve somebody

37
00:02:10,135 --> 00:02:13,015

Speaker 1: Style Taylor Frankie Paul shows her throwing chairs at her

47
00:02:45,055 --> 00:02:48,335
Speaker 1: ex while her daughter watches on. The footage posted by

00:02:48,375 --> 00:02:51,975

49
00:02:52,055 --> 00:02:55,975
Speaker 1: chairs as he records the incident. Indy, Paul's daughter, who's eight,

50
00:02:56,095 --> 00:02:58,575

55
00:03:11,295 --> 00:03:13,935
Speaker 1: A spokesperson for Paul told People that the sharing of

56
00:03:13,975 --> 00:03:17,775
Speaker 1: the video was the latest installment of Mortensen's never ending, desperate,

57
00:03:17,815 --> 00:03:22,055
Speaker 1: attention seeking, destructive campaign to harm Paul without any regard

58
00:03:22,135 --> 00:03:24,975
Speaker 1: for the consequences of their child, saying releasing an old

59
00:03:25,055 --> 00:03:29,095
Speaker 1: video which conveniently omits context on their son's birthday is

60
00:03:29,135 --> 00:03:32,455
Speaker 1: a reprehensible attempt to distract from his own behavior. The

61
00:03:32,495 --> 00:03:35,855
Speaker 1: pair shared two year old son ever together. Local police

62
00:03:35,895 --> 00:03:39,255

00:03:39,295 --> 00:03:42,855
Speaker 1: the couple and that allegations have been made in both directions.

64
00:03:43,255 --> 00:03:45,295

Speaker 1: The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives to be halted. Actor

66
00:03:48,975 --> 00:03:52,335

Speaker 1: men who had filed civil lawsuits at London's High Court

68
00:03:55,215 --> 00:03:58,175
Speaker 1: accusing him of sexual assault. Two of the men involved

69
00:03:58,175 --> 00:04:01,175
Speaker 1: in the civil suit also gave evidence during Spacey's twenty

70
00:04:01,215 --> 00:04:04,135
Speaker 1: twenty three criminal trial in London, where the now sixty

71
00:04:04,175 --> 00:04:07,295
Speaker 1: six year old actor was a qui of all charges. Spacey,

72
00:04:07,335 --> 00:04:09,855
Speaker 1: one of Hollywood's biggest stars before he was accused of

73
00:04:09,895 --> 00:04:14,255
Speaker 1: sexual assault in twenty seventeen, has consistently denied accusations of

74
00:04:14,295 --> 00:04:17,895
Speaker 1: sexual misconduct and said the incidents alleged in the lawsuits

75
00:04:17,935 --> 00:04:21,335
Speaker 1: did not happen or were consensual. A court order dated

76
00:04:21,375 --> 00:04:24,775
Speaker 1: March thirteen said the lawsuits have been stayed following the settlement,

77
00:04:25,095 --> 00:04:27,534
Speaker 1: meaning a trial that had been scheduled for October will

78
00:04:27,535 --> 00:04:30,974
Speaker 1: now no longer take place. Queen Mary of Denmark and

79
00:04:31,095 --> 00:04:33,975
Speaker 1: King Frederick wrapped up their official six day Australian visit

80
00:04:34,015 --> 00:04:37,055
Speaker 1: in Hobart yesterday. When asked about her favorite part of

81
00:04:37,055 --> 00:04:40,695
Speaker 1: the tour so far, Queen Mary responded with simply Australians.

82
00:04:40,815 --> 00:04:43,055
Speaker 1: As she and King Frederick were welcomed to country at

83
00:04:43,095 --> 00:04:46,255
Speaker 1: Government House, followed by an up close and personal encounter

84
00:04:46,295 --> 00:04:49,214
Speaker 1: with a lobster on a boat tour of keelp restoration areas.

85
00:04:49,575 --> 00:04:52,534
Speaker 1: There was a trip to Shipbuilder Incat which supplies electric

86
00:04:52,615 --> 00:04:55,335
Speaker 1: ferries to Denmark, where they were joined by Prime Minister

87
00:04:55,375 --> 00:04:58,575
Speaker 1: Anthony Alberizi, who called Mary an icon before a visit

88
00:04:58,655 --> 00:05:01,655
Speaker 1: to the Mona Art Gallery. Everywhere the royal couple went,

89
00:05:01,735 --> 00:05:04,935
Speaker 1: Tasmanian shouted welcome home to the Queen who grew up

90
00:05:04,975 --> 00:05:07,695
Speaker 1: in Tazi. Before meeting that then Prince Frederick in Sydney

91
00:05:07,695 --> 00:05:10,615
Speaker 1: in two thousand, during the Olympic Games, the Royal couple

92
00:05:10,775 --> 00:05:13,695
Speaker 1: also fit in a quick drive past Mary's old stumping ground,

93
00:05:13,695 --> 00:05:16,455
Speaker 1: Taruna High School, where she said she had some good memories.

96
00:05:27,775 --> 00:05:31,455
Speaker 2: the Women's Asia Cup Final against Japan. If you're not

97
00:05:31,495 --> 00:05:34,055
Speaker 2: across the Asia Cup, think of it as our continent's

98
00:05:34,175 --> 00:05:37,495
Speaker 2: version of the Euros, a tournament every four years for

99
00:05:37,535 --> 00:05:41,015
Speaker 2: the top twelve women's teams in the Asia Football Confederation.

100
00:05:42,095 --> 00:05:44,974
Speaker 2: This year it's being hosted right here in Australia, with

101
00:05:45,095 --> 00:05:49,815
Speaker 2: sides like Japan, South Korea, China, Iran, India, Vietnam, Uzbekistan

102
00:05:49,975 --> 00:05:52,975
Speaker 2: and the Philippines all fighting it out for the glory

103
00:05:53,215 --> 00:05:56,094
Speaker 2: a trophy. Oh and two spots on offer for the

104
00:05:56,095 --> 00:05:59,655
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven Women's World Cup, which, by the way,

105
00:05:59,735 --> 00:06:03,375
Speaker 2: that Tillies have already locked in. The Matildas have turned

106
00:06:03,415 --> 00:06:06,175
Speaker 2: it into another rolling event, building on the World Cup

107
00:06:06,215 --> 00:06:09,094
Speaker 2: bars when the Aussies played host nation to the competition

108
00:06:09,255 --> 00:06:10,975
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty three.

109
00:06:10,935 --> 00:06:17,135
Speaker 1: To the party well scenes imprisonment re engine.

110
00:06:17,415 --> 00:06:19,415
Speaker 2: So how do we get to the Women's Asia Cup

111
00:06:19,455 --> 00:06:23,094
Speaker 2: Final this year? Well, Litilian's fought their way through the

112
00:06:23,095 --> 00:06:26,174
Speaker 2: group stage, taking out both the Philippines and a Run

113
00:06:26,295 --> 00:06:30,214
Speaker 2: before tying with Korea Republic and finally nabbing a victory

114
00:06:30,255 --> 00:06:34,095
Speaker 2: in their blockbuster semi final against defending champions and nine

115
00:06:34,135 --> 00:06:38,214
Speaker 2: time winners China. Pr skipper Sam Kerr has played every

116
00:06:38,215 --> 00:06:40,575
Speaker 2: game with the tournament off the back of twenty months

117
00:06:40,615 --> 00:06:43,375
Speaker 2: out with a cruic shit injury, and admitted after the

118
00:06:43,375 --> 00:06:46,575
Speaker 2: semi that she was so exhausted she could barely celebrate,

119
00:06:46,735 --> 00:06:50,615
Speaker 2: saying her body was a quote almost out of juice.

120
00:06:50,695 --> 00:06:53,295
Speaker 2: The final itself feels like a rerun of some of

121
00:06:53,335 --> 00:06:57,015
Speaker 2: our biggest football memories Australia Verse Japan. Under lights that

122
00:06:57,055 --> 00:07:00,815
Speaker 2: are packed Stadium Australia in Sydney. It's the kind of

123
00:07:00,895 --> 00:07:03,735
Speaker 2: fixture that would have been unthinkable for women's football a

124
00:07:03,815 --> 00:07:07,094
Speaker 2: decade ago. Now it's a primetime slot in one of

125
00:07:07,095 --> 00:07:10,655
Speaker 2: the country's biggest venues and you'll see Tillies kids everywhere

126
00:07:10,695 --> 00:07:13,054
Speaker 2: from the train to the game to the local pub

127
00:07:13,295 --> 00:07:16,135
Speaker 2: and all going well out on the streets for weeks

128
00:07:16,175 --> 00:07:19,575
Speaker 2: to come. And it's not just a vibe. The numbers

129
00:07:19,695 --> 00:07:23,455
Speaker 2: are wild. This year's AFC Women's Asia Cup has already

130
00:07:23,495 --> 00:07:26,975
Speaker 2: passed two hundred thousand people through the gates, making it

131
00:07:27,015 --> 00:07:30,935
Speaker 2: the most highly anticipated edition in the tournament's history. There's

132
00:07:30,935 --> 00:07:33,695
Speaker 2: a new record for matches not even involving the host nation.

133
00:07:34,095 --> 00:07:38,135
Speaker 2: Nearly thirteen thousand people turned up for Korea Republic Viazbekistan

134
00:07:38,255 --> 00:07:40,695
Speaker 2: in the quarters, only for that to be top the

135
00:07:40,695 --> 00:07:43,895
Speaker 2: next day when more fans watched Japan via the Philippines

136
00:07:43,935 --> 00:07:47,415
Speaker 2: at the same ground. Overall ticket sales and have already

137
00:07:47,455 --> 00:07:50,975
Speaker 2: cracked three hundred thousand across the tournament, which solidified something

138
00:07:51,015 --> 00:07:54,695
Speaker 2: we already figured out during the World Cup. Ozzie's loved

139
00:07:54,695 --> 00:07:58,975
Speaker 2: to get behind their home team. As for the Tillies themselves,

140
00:07:59,055 --> 00:08:01,055
Speaker 2: as much as we love and applaud the likes of

141
00:08:01,135 --> 00:08:04,375
Speaker 2: Sam Kerr and Mary Fowler, it's not just those names

142
00:08:04,375 --> 00:08:07,175
Speaker 2: we were screaming and cheering on just three years ago.

143
00:08:07,375 --> 00:08:10,295
Speaker 2: The squad is packed with younger Tillies who are getting

144
00:08:10,335 --> 00:08:13,855
Speaker 2: major tournament minutes in front of massive crowds. Players like

145
00:08:13,895 --> 00:08:16,735
Speaker 2: fallback Caitlyn Torpi, one of the youngest on the field

146
00:08:17,015 --> 00:08:19,335
Speaker 2: who's been part of this new wave coming through off

147
00:08:19,375 --> 00:08:22,495
Speaker 2: the back of the World Cup. Ahead of tomorrow's big dance,

148
00:08:22,575 --> 00:08:27,055
Speaker 2: Caitlin joins us now, Caitln, thanks for being here. Do

Speaker 2: amongst the team is like at the moment.

151
00:08:31,695 --> 00:08:34,455

00:08:45,495 --> 00:08:47,895
Speaker 2: Is there a certain meal you have the night before

156
00:08:48,135 --> 00:08:49,855
Speaker 2: you go to bed? Nice and Ellie run us through

157
00:08:49,895 --> 00:08:51,094
Speaker 2: your pre match routine.

158
00:08:51,335 --> 00:08:54,015
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely have a routine. I try not to

159
00:08:54,054 --> 00:08:57,135
Speaker 3: be as superstitious just in case things go wrong. But

160
00:08:57,775 --> 00:09:00,215
Speaker 3: at the moment, we've been doing something with the team

161
00:09:00,335 --> 00:09:02,495
Speaker 3: that we don't normally do, but we've had a table

162
00:09:02,535 --> 00:09:05,935
Speaker 3: tennis table here, so we've played around the world just

163
00:09:05,975 --> 00:09:08,695
Speaker 3: before our team meeting on match d minus one, and

164
00:09:08,735 --> 00:09:11,455
Speaker 3: it's been something now we can't not do, so we

165
00:09:11,495 --> 00:09:13,535
Speaker 3: asked for a table tennis able to be sent here.

166
00:09:13,575 --> 00:09:15,895
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's a bit of a weird routine that

167
00:09:15,895 --> 00:09:16,695
Speaker 3: we've started doing.

168
00:09:17,175 --> 00:09:19,735
Speaker 2: I love that. Of the matildas, who's top of the

169
00:09:19,775 --> 00:09:22,895
Speaker 2: table at the moment besides myself, I would probably say

170
00:09:22,975 --> 00:09:25,855
Speaker 2: Maka is a pretty good competitor. Caitlyn, You've had an

171
00:09:25,895 --> 00:09:28,855
Speaker 2: incredible run through this tournament. You obviously stepped in for

172
00:09:28,935 --> 00:09:32,975
Speaker 2: Steph Catley against DPR career and then you started in

173
00:09:33,015 --> 00:09:36,775
Speaker 2: the semi against China. You must be so proud of

174
00:09:36,815 --> 00:09:39,934
Speaker 2: your achievements throughout this campaign. I mean, you've only been

175
00:09:39,935 --> 00:09:42,935
Speaker 2: with the Tillies for a couple of years now this tournament,

176
00:09:42,975 --> 00:09:45,295
Speaker 2: you've really ascended through the ranks.

177
00:09:45,575 --> 00:09:48,455
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you. Yeah, I feel very proud of myself.

178
00:09:48,615 --> 00:09:51,215
Speaker 3: It's probably the best way to describe it. Under the

179
00:09:51,255 --> 00:09:54,615
Speaker 3: circumstances and this big tournament, with all the pressure, I

180
00:09:54,655 --> 00:09:57,454
Speaker 3: do feel really really proud. I'm happy with how we've

181
00:09:57,455 --> 00:09:59,975
Speaker 3: been playing, but there's definitely a lot to improve on

182
00:10:00,135 --> 00:10:02,934
Speaker 3: and I'm just excited for all the experience I get.

183
00:10:03,495 --> 00:10:06,255
Speaker 2: So what's your focus then as you into the final

184
00:10:06,295 --> 00:10:06,975
Speaker 2: against Japan.

185
00:10:07,535 --> 00:10:10,054
Speaker 3: As a team, we want to just go out and

186
00:10:10,415 --> 00:10:13,135
Speaker 3: try and enjoy the moment. Anything can happen in the final,

187
00:10:13,255 --> 00:10:14,935
Speaker 3: so it's going to be a good game and we're

188
00:10:14,975 --> 00:10:18,015
Speaker 3: really really excited. But yeah, personally, I honestly just want

189
00:10:18,015 --> 00:10:21,015
Speaker 3: to try and enjoy every single second of it. And

190
00:10:21,375 --> 00:10:23,214
Speaker 3: like I said, I'm loving the experience I get this

191
00:10:23,255 --> 00:10:25,495
Speaker 3: is my first Grand final, so it's a big game

192
00:10:25,575 --> 00:10:28,575
Speaker 3: and for everyone, but yeah, specifically for me, I'm very

193
00:10:28,615 --> 00:10:32,015
Speaker 3: excited to experience my first Grand final, especially at home

194
00:10:32,054 --> 00:10:32,975
Speaker 3: at an Asian club.

195
00:10:33,175 --> 00:10:35,975
Speaker 2: I know the home element kind of makes it that

196
00:10:36,015 --> 00:10:38,015
Speaker 2: little bit extra special. I mean, this has already been

197
00:10:38,015 --> 00:10:40,454
Speaker 2: a special tournament for You've got to celebrate your birthday

198
00:10:40,535 --> 00:10:43,695
Speaker 2: on the field in the last game. The only way

199
00:10:43,735 --> 00:10:45,895
Speaker 2: to top that, in my mind, is to actually take

200
00:10:45,935 --> 00:10:46,615
Speaker 2: out the victory.

201
00:10:47,095 --> 00:10:50,054
Speaker 3: Oh one hundred percent. I won't even remember my birthday

202
00:10:50,095 --> 00:10:53,054
Speaker 3: if we get the victory on Saturday. But yeah, it

203
00:10:53,095 --> 00:10:55,495
Speaker 3: was an amazing day and I couldn't have asked for

204
00:10:55,535 --> 00:10:58,135
Speaker 3: a better birthday honestly, with winning the semi and getting

205
00:10:58,135 --> 00:10:59,175
Speaker 3: into the Grand Final.

206
00:10:59,495 --> 00:11:03,375
Speaker 2: You've spoken previously about how playing a competition like the

207
00:11:03,375 --> 00:11:07,375
Speaker 2: Asia Women's Cup is different and to regular sort of

208
00:11:07,415 --> 00:11:09,975
Speaker 2: in season fixtures. Can you talk a little bit more

209
00:11:09,975 --> 00:11:12,415
Speaker 2: about that. Is it the idea of you all get

210
00:11:12,415 --> 00:11:15,655
Speaker 2: to come together again as the Australian team as opposed

211
00:11:15,655 --> 00:11:18,775
Speaker 2: to when you're off in farflong places across the world

212
00:11:18,855 --> 00:11:19,895
Speaker 2: playing in your other clubs.

213
00:11:20,455 --> 00:11:23,535
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. I think all the Australians like we

214
00:11:23,615 --> 00:11:27,055
Speaker 3: have a different mindset and it reflects on the field.

215
00:11:27,255 --> 00:11:30,934
Speaker 3: I think it's always challenging really getting to know each

216
00:11:30,935 --> 00:11:33,215
Speaker 3: other on the field, but I think we're all on

217
00:11:33,255 --> 00:11:35,215
Speaker 3: the same page now at this point in the tournament

218
00:11:35,295 --> 00:11:38,535
Speaker 3: and we're really really excited to play with each other

219
00:11:38,615 --> 00:11:41,495
Speaker 3: and we don't get that at club. But it's also

220
00:11:41,655 --> 00:11:44,655
Speaker 3: just tournament football. It's a different football. You just kind

221
00:11:44,695 --> 00:11:46,815
Speaker 3: of need to get the wins no matter how pretty

222
00:11:47,054 --> 00:11:50,775
Speaker 3: the football is. So yeah, it's definitely different to club.

223
00:11:50,895 --> 00:11:53,135
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's always exciting playing with the girls here.

224
00:11:53,735 --> 00:11:56,775
Speaker 2: Okay, So as we stare down the barrel of the

225
00:11:56,815 --> 00:12:01,135
Speaker 2: final game this weekend, has the team selection been made?

226
00:12:01,215 --> 00:12:03,655
Speaker 2: Do you know? Will you be starting with the Tillies.

227
00:12:04,175 --> 00:12:07,095
Speaker 3: I wish I knew, but that's my pay grade unfortunately.

228
00:12:07,215 --> 00:12:09,855
Speaker 3: But we have our first few meetings to review the

229
00:12:09,935 --> 00:12:11,535
Speaker 3: last game and then we'll go from there.

230
00:12:12,335 --> 00:12:15,095
Speaker 2: And of course we have to ask because everybody in

231
00:12:15,095 --> 00:12:17,735
Speaker 2: the office is dying to know how Sam Kerr has

232
00:12:17,775 --> 00:12:19,495
Speaker 2: pulled up after the last match.

233
00:12:20,335 --> 00:12:23,455
Speaker 3: Everyone's fit and ready, Sam, she's strong, She's ready to

234
00:12:23,455 --> 00:12:23,934
Speaker 3: go again.

235
00:12:24,415 --> 00:12:26,215
Speaker 2: Okay. And then my last one for you, and this

236
00:12:26,255 --> 00:12:29,735
Speaker 2: is maybe the most important question I've been obsessed with

237
00:12:30,295 --> 00:12:34,695
Speaker 2: following along as Hailey Rasso's mum has crocheted every Chillies player.

238
00:12:35,095 --> 00:12:36,695
Speaker 2: Have you received your doll yet?

239
00:12:37,175 --> 00:12:39,295
Speaker 3: Of course I have it on my bag every day.

240
00:12:39,335 --> 00:12:43,015
Speaker 3: But yeah, I love that, especially because I've started crocheting

241
00:12:43,054 --> 00:12:46,135
Speaker 3: as well. And I was telling Haley a few camps

242
00:12:46,135 --> 00:12:48,935
Speaker 3: ago that I started, and she sent some photos to

243
00:12:48,975 --> 00:12:51,615
Speaker 3: her mum. Because she's an expert, she's way better than me,

244
00:12:51,655 --> 00:12:53,535
Speaker 3: so I wanted to learn off us. So as soon

245
00:12:53,535 --> 00:12:55,255
Speaker 3: as I saw her with the dolls, I went up

246
00:12:55,255 --> 00:12:56,814
Speaker 3: and told her how good they are, and she gave

247
00:12:56,855 --> 00:12:58,335
Speaker 3: me some tips on my crocheting.

248
00:12:58,375 --> 00:13:01,415
Speaker 2: So yeah, I love that. So hopefully in the future

249
00:13:01,455 --> 00:13:03,535
Speaker 2: you'll get Missus Rasso's stamp of approval.

250
00:13:03,975 --> 00:13:05,415
Speaker 3: That's the plan. That's the plan.

251
00:13:07,375 --> 00:13:10,135
Speaker 2: There you have it, folks, mark it down in your calendars.
