00:00:30,214 --> 00:00:33,694
Speaker 1: as votes continue to be tallied. While still too early

7
00:00:33,774 --> 00:00:36,454
Speaker 1: to be called, Republican candidate Donald Trump is leading the

8
00:00:36,574 --> 00:00:39,534
Speaker 1: race with two hundred and ten Electoral College votes. So far,

9
00:00:39,614 --> 00:00:46,214
Speaker 1: He's won a majority of states, including West Virginia, Indiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Florida, Arkansas, Ohio,

10
00:00:46,294 --> 00:00:50,934
Speaker 1: and Texas. Democrat Kamala Harris has captured Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut,

11
00:00:51,054 --> 00:00:55,174
Speaker 1: Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Illinois, amongst others too.

12
00:00:55,494 --> 00:00:58,734
Speaker 1: Almost eighty million Americans voted early in this election, with

13
00:00:58,774 --> 00:01:01,494
Speaker 1: an increase in young people and women turning out to

14
00:01:01,534 --> 00:01:04,854
Speaker 1: the polls. Data suggests a three percent increase of people

15
00:01:04,894 --> 00:01:08,134
Speaker 1: aged eighteen to twenty nine voting this election compared to

16
00:01:08,174 --> 00:01:11,254
Speaker 1: the previous race, while voter amongst people aged forty five

17
00:01:11,294 --> 00:01:14,814
Speaker 1: to sixty four declined by four percent. There's also been

18
00:01:14,854 --> 00:01:17,614
Speaker 1: a slight increase in women voting in the election, up

19
00:01:17,654 --> 00:01:20,814
Speaker 1: fifty four percent from fifty three the previous cycle, while

20
00:01:20,894 --> 00:01:23,894
Speaker 1: voting amongst the male population dropped by two percent, down

21
00:01:23,934 --> 00:01:27,574
Speaker 1: to forty five According to exit polls, democracy and the

22
00:01:27,654 --> 00:01:31,094
Speaker 1: economy ranked by far as the most important issues for voters,

23
00:01:31,414 --> 00:01:34,454
Speaker 1: with about a third of respondents citing each, followed by

24
00:01:34,494 --> 00:01:39,214
Speaker 1: abortion and immigration. This voter believes abortion rights will continue

25
00:01:39,254 --> 00:01:41,814
Speaker 1: to be an issue for the Republican Party trying to

26
00:01:41,814 --> 00:01:42,614
Speaker 1: secure a win.

27
00:01:43,054 --> 00:01:46,334
Speaker 2: I think the Republicans kind of shot themselves in the

28
00:01:46,334 --> 00:01:49,574
Speaker 2: mid terms with they certainly weren't expecting what they got,

29
00:01:49,894 --> 00:01:51,774
Speaker 2: and I think it's going to be a repeat of that.

30
00:01:51,894 --> 00:01:54,694
Speaker 2: And also I think the abortion issue. I think women's

31
00:01:54,734 --> 00:01:57,094
Speaker 2: rights are just going to be at the forefront, and

32
00:01:57,134 --> 00:02:01,134
Speaker 2: I think that it's going to be surprisingly how lopsided

33
00:02:01,174 --> 00:02:01,854
Speaker 2: it's going to be.

34
00:02:02,374 --> 00:02:05,054
Speaker 1: If Trump wins, he'll become the second president to be

35
00:02:05,094 --> 00:02:09,214
Speaker 1: elected in nonconsecutive terms, following in the footsteps of Grover Cleveland,

36
00:02:09,294 --> 00:02:11,654
Speaker 1: who who held office from eighteen eighty five to eighty

37
00:02:11,774 --> 00:02:15,094
Speaker 1: nine and then again in eighteen ninety three to ninety seven.

38
00:02:16,094 --> 00:02:19,054
Speaker 1: The only civilian eye witness called into the latest round

39
00:02:19,094 --> 00:02:22,414
Speaker 1: of hearings into William Tyrell's disappearance has failed to provide

40
00:02:22,454 --> 00:02:25,214
Speaker 1: any proof to back up a theory the toddler's foster

41
00:02:25,294 --> 00:02:28,734
Speaker 1: mother disposed of his body. Truck driver Peter Bashkirt was

42
00:02:28,734 --> 00:02:31,494
Speaker 1: tasked with collecting an excavator from a property near where

43
00:02:31,494 --> 00:02:34,734
Speaker 1: the three year old vanished. In twenty fourteen, the toddler,

44
00:02:34,734 --> 00:02:37,294
Speaker 1: who was last seen wearing a Spider Man costume, went

45
00:02:37,374 --> 00:02:40,254
Speaker 1: missing while playing on the verandah at his foster grandmother's

46
00:02:40,294 --> 00:02:42,494
Speaker 1: home in Kendall on the New South Wales Mid North

47
00:02:42,534 --> 00:02:46,014
Speaker 1: coast on September twelve that year. As an inquest into

48
00:02:46,014 --> 00:02:49,694
Speaker 1: William's disappearance continued, on Wednesday, mister Bashcurt said he had

49
00:02:49,694 --> 00:02:52,974
Speaker 1: seen a short, overweight blond woman, Parker Jed blacktourd a

50
00:02:53,014 --> 00:02:55,694
Speaker 1: camer in front of him at a long distance bus

51
00:02:55,694 --> 00:02:58,974
Speaker 1: stop in q not far from Kendall. The sixty four

52
00:02:59,054 --> 00:03:01,454
Speaker 1: year old said he again saw the vehicle parked in

53
00:03:01,454 --> 00:03:04,014
Speaker 1: front of his Kenworth Prime mover as he was waiting

54
00:03:04,054 --> 00:03:06,454
Speaker 1: in front of the op shop in Kendall about twenty

55
00:03:06,494 --> 00:03:10,374
Speaker 1: minutes later. Mister Bashcurt gave evidence by video link from

56
00:03:10,414 --> 00:03:13,734
Speaker 1: his home, occasionally halting his evidence to yell at his

57
00:03:13,814 --> 00:03:17,374
Speaker 1: barking dog. The current round of inquest hearings, which began

58
00:03:17,454 --> 00:03:20,654
Speaker 1: on Monday, has focused on a police theory the foster mother,

59
00:03:20,734 --> 00:03:24,054
Speaker 1: who cannot be named, legally disposed of the toddler's body

60
00:03:24,134 --> 00:03:27,734
Speaker 1: after his accidental death on the Kendall property. After mister

61
00:03:27,774 --> 00:03:30,854
Speaker 1: Bashkurt's evidence, the court was closed as the Coronet viewed

62
00:03:30,854 --> 00:03:34,934
Speaker 1: to electronically recorded police interviews from twenty fourteen and twenty

63

66
00:03:45,094 --> 00:03:48,254
Speaker 1: before the inquest comes to a close. No one has

67
00:03:48,294 --> 00:03:51,334
Speaker 1: been charged over William's disappearance, and a one million dollar

68
00:03:51,374 --> 00:03:55,934
Speaker 1: reward for information still stands. Despite a decade long investigation

69
00:03:56,054 --> 00:03:59,334
Speaker 1: involving hundreds of persons of interest and dozens of searches,

70
00:03:59,414 --> 00:04:02,534
Speaker 1: no traits of the boy has ever been found. Mass

71
00:04:02,534 --> 00:04:05,814
Speaker 1: protest has broken out across Israel, including on the streets

72
00:04:05,854 --> 00:04:08,974

74
00:04:12,854 --> 00:04:16,454
Speaker 1: who cited a crisis of trust when firing Gallant, replacing

75
00:04:16,534 --> 00:04:19,494
Speaker 1: him with close ally Israel Katz to lead the country's

76
00:04:19,534 --> 00:04:23,094
Speaker 1: war in Gaza and Lebanon Netna, whose critics have accused

77
00:04:23,134 --> 00:04:26,094
Speaker 1: him of putting politics ahead of national security at a

78
00:04:26,134 --> 00:04:29,134
Speaker 1: time when Israel is bracing for a reign in retaliation

79
00:04:29,334 --> 00:04:32,654
Speaker 1: to its October twenty six airstrikes on the Islamic Republic.

80
00:04:32,894 --> 00:04:35,534
Speaker 1: He also named Gideon sar as the new Foreign Minister

81
00:04:35,614 --> 00:04:39,014
Speaker 1: in place of Katz. Protesters gathered and blocked roads in

82
00:04:39,134 --> 00:04:42,294
Speaker 1: several other spots across the country, and Israeli TV station

83
00:04:42,454 --> 00:04:46,774
Speaker 1: showed images of police scuffling with demonstrators. Glant and Netna,

84
00:04:46,814 --> 00:04:49,534
Speaker 1: who both in the right wing Liqueued Party, have clashed

85
00:04:49,534 --> 00:04:52,734
Speaker 1: for months over the objectives of Israel's thirteen month war

86
00:04:52,774 --> 00:04:56,854
Speaker 1: in Gaza against Palestinian militant group MASS, but the timing

87
00:04:56,894 --> 00:05:00,094
Speaker 1: of Gland's dismissal was a surprise and came as Israel's

88
00:05:00,094 --> 00:05:04,854
Speaker 1: allied US IS holding its presidential election. Natanyahu says Gland

89
00:05:04,934 --> 00:05:07,894
Speaker 1: had made statements they contradict the decisions of the government

90
00:05:08,094 --> 00:05:12,454
Speaker 1: and the decisions of the and actor Barry Kogan has confirmed.

91
00:05:12,454 --> 00:05:16,054
