Meanwhile, police could face legal action after punching 12 00:00:48,654 --> 00:00:51,775 Speaker 1: and pepper spraying protesters in the chaos of Monday's protest 13 00:00:51,854 --> 00:00:54,895 Speaker 1: in Sydney. New South Wales Premier Chris Mins defended the 14 00:00:54,935 --> 00:00:59,495 Speaker 1: actions of officers, saying they faced incredibly difficult circumstances, but 15 00:00:59,615 --> 00:01:02,415 Speaker 1: videos of the incidents from Monday night could embroil the 16 00:01:02,455 --> 00:01:05,735 Speaker 1: force in a storm of reputational and legal trouble. One 17 00:01:05,775 --> 00:01:08,735 Speaker 1: video showed a man with raised hands being punched repeatedly 18 00:01:08,735 --> 00:01:11,615 Speaker 1: in the stomach by officers, while another depicted a group 19 00:01:11,655 --> 00:01:14,295 Speaker 1: of Muslim men praying before being ripped from their knees 20 00:01:14,335 --> 00:01:18,255 Speaker 1: and taken away by police.

She explained that 26 00:01:36,135 --> 00:01:38,455 Speaker 1: she was pushed so hard she went flying off the 27 00:01:38,495 --> 00:01:41,655 Speaker 1: ground and then claimed an officer punched her. She says 28 00:01:41,695 --> 00:01:44,455 Speaker 1: she clearly stated she was a member of Parliament, saying 29 00:01:44,495 --> 00:01:47,255 Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like it. It was so brutal. 30 00:01:47,655 --> 00:01:51,175 Speaker 1: The justice system can move in favor of protesters. Former 31 00:01:51,215 --> 00:01:54,535 Speaker 1: Green's candidate Hannah Thomas, who suffered a serious eye injury 32 00:01:54,575 --> 00:01:57,295 Speaker 1: when she was arrested at a protest last year, had 33 00:01:57,375 --> 00:02:00,455 Speaker 1: charges of resisting police dropped and an assault charge was 34 00:02:00,535 --> 00:02:03,935 Speaker 1: laid against the constable who allegedly maimed her.

Australia's spy chief says his agency will own 40 00:02:20,255 --> 00:02:23,775 Speaker 1: any mistakes following Bondi's anti Semitic terror attack, as he 41 00:02:23,855 --> 00:02:27,335 Speaker 1: revealed an external investigation cleared asio's review of one of 42 00:02:27,375 --> 00:02:30,575 Speaker 1: the gunmen. In twenty nineteen, Navid Akram and his father 43 00:02:30,655 --> 00:02:34,615 Speaker 1: Sajid killed fifteen innocent people and wounded dozens more during 44 00:02:34,615 --> 00:02:37,255 Speaker 1: a shooting massacre at Bondi Beach in December during a 45 00:02:37,295 --> 00:02:41,095 Speaker 1: Jewish Hunnaker festival. Law enforcement alleges that they were inspired 46 00:02:41,095 --> 00:02:44,455 Speaker 1: by Islamic state ideology. The father was shot dead by 47 00:02:44,455 --> 00:02:47,055 Speaker 1: police at the time, while the Sun faces terrorism and 48 00:02:47,175 --> 00:02:51,135 Speaker 1: murder charges. AZIO Director General Mike Burgess said while ASIO 49 00:02:51,175 --> 00:02:54,735 Speaker 1: and law enforcement partners had disrupted twenty eight major terrorism 50 00:02:54,775 --> 00:02:59,935 Speaker 1: plots since September twenty fourteen, Australia's intelligence agencies couldn't catch everything. 51 00:03:00,335 --> 00:03:03,415 Speaker 1: Speaking at a parliamentary hearing last night, mister Burgess said 52 00:03:03,455 --> 00:03:06,815 Speaker 1: AZIO cannot stop every terrorist, just as they cannot catch 53 00:03:06,855 --> 00:03:10,495 Speaker 1: every spy, explaining that the alleged terrorists demonstrated a high 54 00:03:10,615 --> 00:03:14,255 Speaker 1: level of security awareness to hide their plot. In simple terms, 55 00:03:14,335 --> 00:03:17,014 Speaker 1: they went dark to stay off the radar. The younger 56 00:03:17,015 --> 00:03:20,375 Speaker 1: Acram came across Azio's radar in twenty nineteen due to 57 00:03:20,375 --> 00:03:23,895 Speaker 1: his association with others, but the then teenager wasn't deemed 58 00:03:23,935 --> 00:03:27,415 Speaker 1: to present any ongoing threat. Mister Burgess said the highly 59 00:03:27,455 --> 00:03:31,575 Speaker 1: classified review into his agency following the Bondai attack reaffirmed 60 00:03:31,615 --> 00:03:35,495 Speaker 1: Asio's actions back in twenty nineteen. His public comments followed 61 00:03:35,495 --> 00:03:38,535 Speaker 1: an ABC four Corners program that aired on Monday, during 62 00:03:38,535 --> 00:03:41,895 Speaker 1: which a former AZIO agent claims he shared intelligence about 63 00:03:41,975 --> 00:03:46,135 Speaker 1: Navide's radicalization with the agency in twenty nineteen. Azio said 64 00:03:46,175 --> 00:03:50,295 Speaker 1: it investigated the information but couldn't substantiate it. Mister Burgess 65 00:03:50,335 --> 00:03:53,735 Speaker 1: cautioned against applying hindsight, saying things that might appear obvious 66 00:03:53,775 --> 00:03:56,375 Speaker 1: in retrospect may not have been obvious at the time. 67 00:03:57,335 --> 00:04:00,535 Speaker 1: Liberal Angus Taylor is expected to resign from the opposition 68 00:04:00,615 --> 00:04:03,095 Speaker 1: front bench to launch a spill against the party's first 69 00:04:03,095 --> 00:04:06,055 Speaker 1: female leader as pressure builds for a change at the top. 70 00:04:06,455 --> 00:04:09,655 Speaker 1: Opposition leader Susan Lee escaped a challenge at Tuesday morning's 71 00:04:09,695 --> 00:04:12,815 Speaker 1: routine Liberal party room meeting, but mister Taylor will likely 72 00:04:12,855 --> 00:04:15,135 Speaker 1: announce his intention to run for the leadership as soon 73 00:04:15,175 --> 00:04:18,415 Speaker 1: as today. A series of opinion polls revealing the coalition 74 00:04:18,495 --> 00:04:21,975 Speaker 1: support hitting historic lows has prompted some Liberal MPs to 75 00:04:22,055 --> 00:04:25,455 Speaker 1: privately push for change, but Miss Lee's backers have urged 76 00:04:25,455 --> 00:04:28,255 Speaker 1: colleagues to publicly put their name to a petition calling 77 00:04:28,255 --> 00:04:31,255 Speaker 1: for a spill so the party can move on. Moderate 78 00:04:31,335 --> 00:04:34,335 Speaker 1: Liberal MP Maria Kovajid says they've had enough of what's 79 00:04:34,375 --> 00:04:36,974 Speaker 1: been going on over the past couple of months. Speaking 80 00:04:37,015 --> 00:04:39,295 Speaker 1: on mister Taylor, she said, if you want this, put 81 00:04:39,295 --> 00:04:41,815 Speaker 1: your name to it and get it over with. Liberal 82 00:04:41,895 --> 00:04:44,735 Speaker 1: rules require anybody in a leadership position or in the 83 00:04:44,735 --> 00:04:47,855 Speaker 1: shadow ministry to resign if they are part of a challenge. 84 00:04:48,095 --> 00:04:50,815 Speaker 1: MPs can also request the leader call a special party 85 00:04:50,855 --> 00:04:53,855 Speaker 1: room meeting to consider a leadership spill. If Miss Lee 86 00:04:53,935 --> 00:04:56,135 Speaker 1: refuses to hold the meeting, mister Taylor would need a 87 00:04:56,135 --> 00:04:59,575 Speaker 1: petition endorsed by the majority of Liberal MPs and senators 88 00:04:59,615 --> 00:05:02,575 Speaker 1: to force her hand. Police in the US have released 89 00:05:02,615 --> 00:05:04,935 Speaker 1: camera images of a man believed to be connected to 90 00:05:04,975 --> 00:05:07,895 Speaker 1: the disappear searants of TV show hosts Savannah Guthrie's mother. 91 00:05:08,415 --> 00:05:11,455 Speaker 1: Investigators say they previously thought the images from eighty four 92 00:05:11,535 --> 00:05:15,295 Speaker 1: year old Nancy Guthrie's ring doorbell camera were inaccessible as 93 00:05:15,295 --> 00:05:17,335 Speaker 1: it was removed at the time of the abduction and 94 00:05:17,455 --> 00:05:20,174 Speaker 1: wasn't monitored, but they've now been able to see images 95 00:05:20,215 --> 00:05:22,854 Speaker 1: from earlier that morning that show a man wearing a 96 00:05:22,855 --> 00:05:26,655 Speaker 1: balaclava and gloves appearing to tamper with the camera. Nancy 97 00:05:26,735 --> 00:05:30,095 Speaker 1: hasn't been seen since Saturday, January thirty one, her family 98 00:05:30,175 --> 00:05:32,215 Speaker 1: raising the alarm when she didn't show up for church 99 00:05:32,255 --> 00:05:34,654 Speaker 1: on Sunday.

First blood found on the front 101 00:05:37,615 --> 00:05:41,575 Speaker 1: doorstep belonged to the grandmother.

Savannah has taken to social media with her 106 00:05:53,055 --> 00:05:56,255 Speaker 1: siblings to call for her mother's return, posting again earlier 107 00:05:56,335 --> 00:05:58,455 Speaker 1: this week to say thank you to those who are helping. 108 00:05:58,695 --> 00:06:00,255 Speaker 2: I just want to say, first of all, thank you 109 00:06:00,295 --> 00:06:07,175 Speaker 2: so much for all of the prayers and the love 110 00:06:07,295 --> 00:06:10,615 Speaker 2: that we have felt, my sister and brother and I, 111 00:06:12,975 --> 00:06:16,055 Speaker 2: and that our mom has felt.
