Speaker 1: to lead the Liberals and the first female opposition leader,

12
00:00:49,055 --> 00:00:52,374

18
00:01:10,335 --> 00:01:14,375
Speaker 1: than two years ago. Tasmania Police say expert reports have

19
00:01:14,495 --> 00:01:18,575
Speaker 1: provided compelling evidence the remains likely belonged to Celine Kremer.

20
00:01:19,055 --> 00:01:22,175
Speaker 1: Miss Kremer was last seen in the Philosopher Falls area

21
00:01:22,295 --> 00:01:26,055

22
00:01:26,295 --> 00:01:30,694
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, sparking a major police search. Search teams

23
00:01:30,735 --> 00:01:34,695

00:01:34,735 --> 00:01:37,815
Speaker 1: on a stretch of Arthur River about two kilometers from

25
00:01:37,855 --> 00:01:42,735
Speaker 1: the tourist's last known location. The US Justice Department says

26
00:01:42,815 --> 00:01:46,695
Speaker 1: it's looking into whether it improperly withheld Jeffrey Epstein related

27
00:01:46,735 --> 00:01:51,215
Speaker 1: documents after several news organizations reported some records of a

28
00:01:51,255 --> 00:01:56,255
Speaker 1: woman's accusations against President Donald Trump weren't released. The announcement

29
00:01:56,335 --> 00:02:00,215
Speaker 1: followed news reports saying a massive tranch of records released

30
00:02:00,215 --> 00:02:04,575
Speaker 1: by the Justice Department did not include several summaries of interviews.

31
00:02:04,615 --> 00:02:08,575
Speaker 1: The FBI canducted with an unidentified woman who came forward

32
00:02:08,615 --> 00:02:12,215
Speaker 1: after Epstein's twenty nineteen arrest. The woman claimed to have

33
00:02:12,255 --> 00:02:15,655
Speaker 1: been sexually assaulted by both Trump and Epstein when she

34
00:02:15,735 --> 00:02:19,415
Speaker 1: was a minor in the nineteen eighties. The Guardian reports

35
00:02:19,415 --> 00:02:22,775
Speaker 1: her allegations have not been verified, and the FBI never

36
00:02:22,815 --> 00:02:26,495
Speaker 1: brought charges related to her claims. It reports her statements

37
00:02:26,575 --> 00:02:29,575
Speaker 1: also contradict what is known about Epstein's life in the

38
00:02:29,615 --> 00:02:34,734
Speaker 1: early nineteen eighties. Trump has consistently denied wrongdoing related to Epstein.

39
00:02:35,455 --> 00:02:38,935
Speaker 1: Streaming service Netflix has declined to raise its offer to

40
00:02:38,935 --> 00:02:42,975
Speaker 1: buy Warner Bros. Discovery Studio in streaming business, in a

41
00:02:43,015 --> 00:02:46,495
Speaker 1: move that effectively puts Paramount's guidance in a position to

42
00:02:46,575 --> 00:02:51,055
Speaker 1: take over the Hollywood giant. After Warner's board announced Paramount's

43
00:02:51,055 --> 00:02:54,014
Speaker 1: offer was superior to the agreement it had previously struck

44
00:02:54,055 --> 00:02:57,295
Speaker 1: with Netflix, The streaming giants said the new price that

45
00:02:57,295 --> 00:02:59,695
Speaker 1: would be required to buy Warner would make it a

46
00:02:59,735 --> 00:03:03,695
Speaker 1: deal that is no longer financially attractive. Paramount wants to

47
00:03:03,735 --> 00:03:08,294
Speaker 1: buy all of Warner's operations, including networks like CNN and Discovery.

48
00:03:08,735 --> 00:03:12,175
Speaker 1: A Paramount buyout would see movies like Superman, Harry Potter,

49
00:03:12,215 --> 00:03:16,175
Speaker 1: and Barbie joined Paramount's content library and would combine two

50
00:03:16,255 --> 00:03:20,975
Speaker 1: of Hollywood's last five remaining legacy studios. And Pink has

51
00:03:21,055 --> 00:03:23,975
Speaker 1: hit back at incorrect reports she split from her husband

52
00:03:23,975 --> 00:03:27,255
Speaker 1: of twenty years, Carrie Hart, saying the news came as

53
00:03:27,255 --> 00:03:30,535
Speaker 1: a shock to her. People first reported the star couple,

54
00:03:30,575 --> 00:03:33,815
Speaker 1: who share two children together, had gone their separate ways

55
00:03:34,175 --> 00:03:36,815
Speaker 1: Pink was quick to shut the reports down, sharing a

56
00:03:36,895 --> 00:03:40,055
Speaker 1: video on Instagram saying it's not true and calling on

57
00:03:40,135 --> 00:03:44,055
Speaker 1: media publications to do better. So I was just alerted

58
00:03:44,095 --> 00:03:48,255
Speaker 1: to the fact that I'm separated from my husband. I

59
00:03:48,295 --> 00:03:52,015
Speaker 1: didn't know. Thank you People, Magazine, Thank yous Weekly, Thank

Speaker 1: also like to tell our children my fourteen year old

62
00:03:55,895 --> 00:03:58,175
Speaker 1: and nine year old are also unaware? Or do you

63
00:03:58,175 --> 00:04:01,095
Speaker 1: want to talk about some real news, trash news you

64
00:04:01,415 --> 00:04:05,135
Speaker 1: can do better? That's your evening news headlines. On Monday's
