1
00:00:06,455 --> 00:00:09,135
Speaker 1: You're listing to a Mumma mea podcast.

2
00:00:14,495 --> 00:00:17,614
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm Taylor Strano from Mumma MEAs twice daily news

3
00:00:17,614 --> 00:00:21,695
Speaker 2: podcast The Quickie with Your Headlines. For Wednesday, January seven,

4
00:00:22,175 --> 00:00:25,455
Speaker 2: Venezuela will turnover up to fifty million barrels of oil

5
00:00:25,535 --> 00:00:29,495
Speaker 2: to the United States. That's according to US President Donald Trump,

6
00:00:29,615 --> 00:00:32,214
Speaker 2: who in a post online explained the oil will be

7
00:00:32,255 --> 00:00:35,334
Speaker 2: sold for market price and the money will be controlled

8
00:00:35,335 --> 00:00:38,054
Speaker 2: by the President himself as a means to ensure the

9
00:00:38,055 --> 00:00:41,654
Speaker 2: money will benefit both Venezuela and the United States. The

10
00:00:41,695 --> 00:00:44,454
Speaker 2: barrels referred to in the post are currently on tankers

11
00:00:44,495 --> 00:00:47,214
Speaker 2: and in storage tanks that have been unable to be

12
00:00:47,254 --> 00:00:51,135
Speaker 2: shipped as Trump's blockade remains in place. The latest updates

13
00:00:51,175 --> 00:00:55,095
Speaker 2: come as Venezuela's president, Nicholas Maduro, remains in US custody

14
00:00:55,375 --> 00:00:59,095
Speaker 2: facing a string of charges, including drug trafficking and conspiracy.

15
00:00:59,615 --> 00:01:03,015
Speaker 2: Following a classified briefing on the matter, Senate Minority Leader

16
00:01:03,095 --> 00:01:06,375
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer told CNN the Trump administration doesn't have a

17
00:01:06,455 --> 00:01:10,015
Speaker 2: clear path forward to resolve issues within Venezuela.

18
00:01:10,055 --> 00:01:13,215
Speaker 3: When you emerge from that briefing, you got really worried

19
00:01:13,295 --> 00:01:16,055
Speaker 3: because they don't have a plan. They knew they wanted

20
00:01:16,055 --> 00:01:18,855
Speaker 3: to take Maduro. That's step one, steps two through ten.

21
00:01:18,895 --> 00:01:22,375
Speaker 3: They have no answers for such as how many troops

22
00:01:22,375 --> 00:01:25,615
Speaker 3: will we need on the ground, how much will it cost?

23
00:01:26,535 --> 00:01:29,775
Speaker 3: How long should it last? Do you have plans to

24
00:01:29,855 --> 00:01:33,615
Speaker 3: go to other countries like Columbia or Cuba or even Greenland?

25
00:01:34,135 --> 00:01:36,415
Speaker 3: Is Stephen Miller going to be involved? Let me just

26
00:01:36,495 --> 00:01:38,575
Speaker 3: say it was a classified briefing. I can't tell you

27
00:01:38,655 --> 00:01:41,295
Speaker 3: exactly what they said, but every one of those answers

28
00:01:41,575 --> 00:01:45,895
Speaker 3: would disappoint almost all of America. They just didn't have

29
00:01:46,015 --> 00:01:48,135
Speaker 3: their act together. It was almost a back of the

30
00:01:48,255 --> 00:01:49,855
Speaker 3: envelope operation.

31
00:01:50,415 --> 00:01:53,655
Speaker 2: Meantime, the White House says President Trump is exploring options

32
00:01:53,655 --> 00:01:58,255
Speaker 2: for acquiring Greenland, citing the takeover as a national security priority.

33
00:01:58,695 --> 00:02:00,975
Speaker 2: In a statement, the White House said the President and

34
00:02:01,055 --> 00:02:03,695
Speaker 2: his team are discussing a range of options to pursue

35
00:02:03,735 --> 00:02:07,535
Speaker 2: the important foreign policy goal, noting utilizing the US military

36
00:02:07,775 --> 00:02:10,535
Speaker 2: is always an option at the Commander in Chief's disposal.

37
00:02:11,255 --> 00:02:14,495
Speaker 2: The government will bring back Parliament early in the coming weeks,

38
00:02:14,655 --> 00:02:18,495
Speaker 2: likely before Australia Day on January twenty six, to implement

39
00:02:18,615 --> 00:02:23,335
Speaker 2: legislative measures, including strengthening hate speech laws. Meantime, as pressure

40
00:02:23,375 --> 00:02:26,655
Speaker 2: mounts on Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi to call a federal

41
00:02:26,735 --> 00:02:31,175
Speaker 2: royal commission into anti Semitism, defense and national security leaders

42
00:02:31,175 --> 00:02:34,215
Speaker 2: are echoing other groups also urging the PM to announce

43
00:02:34,215 --> 00:02:38,415
Speaker 2: the National Royal Commission into both anti Semitism and Islamic extremism.

44
00:02:38,895 --> 00:02:41,775
Speaker 2: That's amid speculation the Prime Minister is poised to agree

45
00:02:41,815 --> 00:02:44,975
Speaker 2: to a federal inquiry into the Bondai Beach terrorist attack.

46
00:02:45,495 --> 00:02:48,535
Speaker 2: Mister Albanesi has softened his position on setting up a

47
00:02:48,655 --> 00:02:52,455
Speaker 2: royal commission into the December fourteenth terror attack, after previously

48
00:02:52,495 --> 00:02:55,775
Speaker 2: rejecting calls from Jewish groups, families of the victims, and

49
00:02:55,855 --> 00:02:59,095
Speaker 2: the coalition. In the letter, the more than thirty leaders,

50
00:02:59,215 --> 00:03:02,895
Speaker 2: including former Governor General David Hurley, urged mister Albanesi to

51
00:03:03,015 --> 00:03:06,495
Speaker 2: act immediately. These calls come just stags after more than

52
00:03:06,575 --> 00:03:10,335
Speaker 2: sixty prominent sporting figures signed a similar letter also pushing

53
00:03:10,335 --> 00:03:13,735
Speaker 2: for a federal royal commission. Mister Albanezi, who has so

54
00:03:13,895 --> 00:03:17,495
Speaker 2: far resisted a national royal commission, says a federal inquiry

55
00:03:17,495 --> 00:03:21,775
Speaker 2: would take too long, instead focusing on a security services review.

56
00:03:21,855 --> 00:03:27,535
Speaker 2: Hunerformist Mymaster Denis Richardson. Independent MP Alegraspender, who's electorately attack

57
00:03:27,575 --> 00:03:31,175
Speaker 2: occurred in told ABC the more cooperative stance taken by

58
00:03:31,175 --> 00:03:34,135
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister on the inquiry was a positive move.

59
00:03:34,615 --> 00:03:37,055
Speaker 1: This is what really the community's asking for and what

60
00:03:37,135 --> 00:03:40,255
Speaker 1: I think, I genuinely believe that the community, in particular

61
00:03:40,295 --> 00:03:43,935
Speaker 1: the Jewish community deserves, because this is the largest terienced

62
00:03:43,935 --> 00:03:46,535
Speaker 1: attack on any part of our community that we've ever

63
00:03:46,575 --> 00:03:49,135
Speaker 1: had in Australia and it is up to us to

64
00:03:49,175 --> 00:03:51,975
Speaker 1: make sure we leave no stone unturned to learn the

65
00:03:52,055 --> 00:03:52,615
Speaker 1: lessons of it.

66
00:03:52,895 --> 00:03:57,135
Speaker 2: And Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are divorced and legally single.

67
00:03:57,535 --> 00:04:00,735
Speaker 2: A Nashville judge on Tuesday issued in order dissolving the

68
00:04:00,815 --> 00:04:03,335
Speaker 2: nineteen year marriage of the Oscar winning actor and the

69

Speaker 2: Grammy winning country singer. In thought filing, the judge said

70
00:04:06,775 --> 00:04:10,815
Speaker 2: the couple's settlements on splitting assets and child castody are sufficient,

71
00:04:11,015 --> 00:04:15,855
Speaker 2: granting them the divorce, citing marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences.

72
00:04:16,335 --> 00:04:19,895
Speaker 2: Kidman filed for divorce in September. The superstar split was

73
00:04:19,935 --> 00:04:22,815
