21
00:01:26,374 --> 00:01:29,454
Speaker 1: Israel's ambassador to the UN says the agency has been

22
00:01:29,494 --> 00:01:33,494
Speaker 1: infiltrated by Hamas, accusing the General Assembly of ignoring the

23
00:01:33,494 --> 00:01:37,934
Speaker 1: hostages taken by the terrorist organization. On October seven, US

24
00:01:38,054 --> 00:01:41,814
Speaker 1: President Elke Donald Trump has invited Chinese President Jesumping to

25
00:01:41,854 --> 00:01:45,774
Speaker 1: attend his inauguration next month. According to reports from CBS

26
00:01:45,814 --> 00:01:49,014
Speaker 1: News and multiple sources, Trump invited the Chinese leader to

27
00:01:49,014 --> 00:01:52,614
Speaker 1: attend in early November, shortly after the US election. It's

28
00:01:52,654 --> 00:01:56,414
Speaker 1: not clear whether he has accepted the invitation. Trump's team

29
00:01:56,454 --> 00:01:59,254
Speaker 1: has also raised the possibility of hosting other leaders at

30
00:01:59,294 --> 00:02:02,734
Speaker 1: the capitol on January twenty. Hungary's far right leader, Prime

31

Speaker 1: Minister Victor Auburn, who has a warm relationship with Trump,

32
00:02:06,054 --> 00:02:09,894
Speaker 1: is still considering whether he'll attend Trump's transitions. Folks In

33
00:02:09,894 --> 00:02:12,734
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt says world leaders are lining up to meet

34
00:02:12,774 --> 00:02:15,494
Speaker 1: with President Trump as his return to power will mark

35
00:02:15,534 --> 00:02:19,654
Speaker 1: the restoration of peace through American strength. Ambassadors and other

36
00:02:19,734 --> 00:02:23,974
Speaker 1: diplomats are typically invited to inaugurations, but State Department records

37
00:02:24,054 --> 00:02:26,774
Speaker 1: dating back to eighteen seventy four show that a foreign

38
00:02:26,854 --> 00:02:30,494
Speaker 1: leader has never attended a transfer of power ceremony. Members

39
00:02:30,534 --> 00:02:34,174
Speaker 1: of Trump's inner circle remain sharp critics of China's current government,

40
00:02:34,294 --> 00:02:37,894
Speaker 1: including Senator Marco Rubio, Trump's pick to be Secretary of State,

41
00:02:38,014 --> 00:02:41,894
Speaker 1: and incoming National Security advisor Mike Waltz. Trump himself has

42
00:02:41,974 --> 00:02:45,814
Speaker 1: threatened to increase tariffs on goods from China. The chances

43
00:02:45,854 --> 00:02:48,574
Speaker 1: of a February interest rate cut have taken a temple

44
00:02:48,774 --> 00:02:52,894
Speaker 1: after Australia's unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to three point nine percent.

45
00:02:53,334 --> 00:02:56,654
Speaker 1: The Australian Bureau of Statistics recorded an increase of thirty

46
00:02:56,654 --> 00:03:00,174
Speaker 1: five thousand, six hundred jobs to the economy in November,

47
00:03:00,574 --> 00:03:05,094
Speaker 1: exceeding the thirty thousand game penciled in by forecasters. Analysts

48
00:03:05,094 --> 00:03:07,974
Speaker 1: have expected the unemployment rate to increase to four point

49
00:03:08,014 --> 00:03:11,374
Speaker 1: two percent following three executive months at four point one.

50
00:03:11,774 --> 00:03:13,974
Speaker 1: It's the first time the unemployment rate has had a

51
00:03:14,014 --> 00:03:17,254
Speaker 1: three in front of it since March. The surprise result

52
00:03:17,334 --> 00:03:20,414
Speaker 1: will set back expectations that the Reserve Bank of Australia

53
00:03:20,454 --> 00:03:23,814
Speaker 1: will cut interest rates at its next board meeting in February.

54
00:03:24,054 --> 00:03:27,134
Speaker 1: RBA Governor Michelle Bullock has cited the ongoing strengths in

55
00:03:27,174 --> 00:03:29,974
Speaker 1: the jobs market as a reason why Australia has lagged

56
00:03:30,014 --> 00:03:33,854
Speaker 1: comparable nations in beginning its monetary easing cycle. Head of

57
00:03:33,894 --> 00:03:38,214
Speaker 1: Macroeconomics Forecasting for Oxford Economics Australia, Sean lang Cake says

58
00:03:38,254 --> 00:03:41,214
Speaker 1: the RBA Board will be reluctant to its rates while

59
00:03:41,294 --> 00:03:45,014
Speaker 1: underlying inflation is above target at the labor market operating

60
00:03:45,054 --> 00:03:47,934
Speaker 1: so close to its capacity, chances of a rate cut

61
00:03:48,014 --> 00:03:50,614
Speaker 1: at the first meeting of twenty twenty five had improved

62
00:03:50,654 --> 00:03:54,654
Speaker 1: before the abs started release, and after weeks of searching,

63
00:03:54,734 --> 00:03:58,214
Speaker 1: missing woman Hanna Koba Yashi has been found alive and well.

64
00:03:58,454 --> 00:04:01,574
Speaker 1: In November, the aspiring photographer and her boyfriend had planned

65
00:04:01,574 --> 00:04:04,254
Speaker 1: a holiday to New York, but when the couple broke

66
00:04:04,334 --> 00:04:07,134
Speaker 1: up shortly before the trip and found themselves unable to

67
00:04:07,174 --> 00:04:10,134
Speaker 1: get a refund, the two still decided to traveled to

68
00:04:10,214 --> 00:04:13,134
Speaker 1: New York together before parting ways. Once they arrived at

69
00:04:13,174 --> 00:04:16,654
Speaker 1: the airport on November eight, they boughted their flight to Maui,

70
00:04:16,854 --> 00:04:20,054
Speaker 1: arriving in La to await a connection, but Hannah never

71
00:04:20,094 --> 00:04:22,974
Speaker 1: boarded her connecting flight, never making it to New York.

72
00:04:23,254 --> 00:04:27,254
Speaker 1: She was missing for over a month. According to Hannah's sister, Sidney,

73
00:04:27,294 --> 00:04:30,374
Speaker 1: Hannah's exported the flight to New York alone, while Hannah

74
00:04:30,414 --> 00:04:33,814
Speaker 1: remained in La The reasons why still remain unclear of,

75
00:04:33,894 --> 00:04:36,494
Speaker 1: but during her time in Los Angeles, Hannah was spotted

76
00:04:36,494 --> 00:04:39,974
Speaker 1: at multiple sites across the city. In a major twist,

77
00:04:39,974 --> 00:04:43,934
Speaker 1: footage emerged showing Hannah walking voluntarily across the border into

78
00:04:44,014 --> 00:04:47,974
Speaker 1: Mexico on November twelve, the day after her family reported

79
00:04:48,014 --> 00:04:51,934
Speaker 1: her missing. According to the Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell,

80
00:04:52,014 --> 00:04:54,854
Speaker 1: Hannah didn't appear to have been trafficked or a victim

81
00:04:54,894 --> 00:04:58,374
Speaker 1: of a crime, and was declared a voluntary missing person.
