Prime Minister Anthony 12 00:00:48,054 --> 00:00:51,014 Speaker 1: Albnezi is being urged to help build moral momentum to 13 00:00:51,054 --> 00:00:54,894 Speaker 1: recognize a Palestinian state and end starvation in Gaza. The 14 00:00:55,014 --> 00:00:58,454 Speaker 1: UK government released a statement overnight announcing it was prepared 15 00:00:58,454 --> 00:01:02,734 Speaker 1: to join France in recognizing Palestinian statehood in September. Federal 16 00:01:02,814 --> 00:01:05,574 Speaker 1: Labour MP at Hugh six said Australia could increase that 17 00:01:05,654 --> 00:01:08,654 Speaker 1: momentum to help civilians caught up in Israel's war against 18 00:01:08,654 --> 00:01:11,934 Speaker 1: Hamas in the Gaza. The PM has in recent days 19 00:01:11,934 --> 00:01:15,294 Speaker 1: stepped up his criticism of Israel for denying food to Gazans, 20 00:01:15,614 --> 00:01:18,854 Speaker 1: leading to what aid agencies say is a humanitarian crisis. 21 00:01:19,214 --> 00:01:23,494 Speaker 1: Alberizi said Israel's denials of starvation in Gaza was beyond comprehension, 22 00:01:23,694 --> 00:01:27,054 Speaker 1: but he wouldn't commit to recognizing Palestine while it remained 23 00:01:27,134 --> 00:01:30,054 Speaker 1: under the de facto leadership of Hamas, which is listed 24 00:01:30,134 --> 00:01:34,294 Speaker 1: as a terrorist organization by Australia. Meanwhile, in the US, 25 00:01:34,334 --> 00:01:37,614 Speaker 1: Major Taylor Green has become the first Republican lawmaker to 26 00:01:37,654 --> 00:01:41,294 Speaker 1: describe the events in Gaza as genocide. It's a controversial 27 00:01:41,294 --> 00:01:45,054 Speaker 1: move as Republicans generally have rallied around Israel since October 28 00:01:45,094 --> 00:01:48,174 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, when Hamas attacked the country, killing twelve 29 00:01:48,254 --> 00:01:51,214 Speaker 1: hundred people and taking two hundred and fifty one hostages. 30 00:01:51,694 --> 00:01:55,654 Speaker 1: Israel has strongly rejected claims that the country is perpetuating genocide, 31 00:01:55,814 --> 00:01:58,814 Speaker 1: despite the death toll in Gaza now exceeding sixty thousand. 32 00:01:59,414 --> 00:02:02,854 Speaker 1: Anthony Albinizi has been accused of being a Seinfeld Prime Minister. 33 00:02:02,934 --> 00:02:05,334 Speaker 1: As the opposition ramps up its rhetoric over the US 34 00:02:05,494 --> 00:02:08,214 Speaker 1: tariff's issue. The Prime Minister has been compared to the 35 00:02:08,254 --> 00:02:11,814 Speaker 1: famous ninety Show About Nothing, amid dwindling hopes Australia can 36 00:02:11,814 --> 00:02:15,734 Speaker 1: secure a total tariff exemption. US President Donald Trump's deals 37 00:02:15,734 --> 00:02:18,894 Speaker 1: with other nations have laid bare the limits of trade negotiations, 38 00:02:19,254 --> 00:02:22,294 Speaker 1: with no countries receiving a better deal than Australia's ten 39 00:02:22,334 --> 00:02:26,614 Speaker 1: percent baseline tariff. But Opposition Foreign Affairs spokeswoman MICHAELEEA. Cash 40 00:02:26,614 --> 00:02:29,014 Speaker 1: says the government's approach has been a failure so far, 41 00:02:29,414 --> 00:02:31,814 Speaker 1: given mister Alviniasi was yet to secure a face to 42 00:02:31,854 --> 00:02:34,654 Speaker 1: face meeting with Trump. Senator Cash says the PM is 43 00:02:34,654 --> 00:02:37,734 Speaker 1: becoming the Seinfeld Prime Minister because he's now a show 44 00:02:37,774 --> 00:02:41,094 Speaker 1: about nothing. Cash was referencing the Seinfeld episode The Pitch, 45 00:02:41,174 --> 00:02:43,694 Speaker 1: when characters Jerry and George pitch an idea for a 46 00:02:43,734 --> 00:02:47,174 Speaker 1: show about nothing, recreating how Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David 47 00:02:47,214 --> 00:02:49,134 Speaker 1: came up with the show's concept in the first place. 48 00:02:49,774 --> 00:02:52,614 Speaker 1: One in ten Australian students need more help to meet 49 00:02:52,614 --> 00:02:56,734 Speaker 1: basic education standards. Despite encouraging signs that kids are getting 50 00:02:56,734 --> 00:02:59,854 Speaker 1: better at maths, two thirds of students performed strongly or 51 00:02:59,894 --> 00:03:05,374 Speaker 1: exceeded expectations on napland testing, but geographic location, parent education levels, 52 00:03:05,374 --> 00:03:09,214 Speaker 1: and family background continue to be a major factor impacting results. 53 00:03:09,574 --> 00:03:12,934 Speaker 1: Almost one in three Indigenous students fell below minimum standards 54 00:03:12,934 --> 00:03:15,614 Speaker 1: and needed extra support, compared to less than one in 55 00:03:15,694 --> 00:03:19,054 Speaker 1: ten non Indigenous students. There was also a regional divide, 56 00:03:19,054 --> 00:03:21,854 Speaker 1: with just one in five students in very remote areas 57 00:03:21,894 --> 00:03:26,054 Speaker 1: considered strong or exceeding expectations, far below seventy percent of 58 00:03:26,054 --> 00:03:30,534 Speaker 1: students in major cities. Girls again outperformed boys in literacy, 59 00:03:30,614 --> 00:03:33,494 Speaker 1: but boys did better in numeracy, with the gaps emerging 60 00:03:33,494 --> 00:03:36,814 Speaker 1: in early secondary and late primary school. A former police 61 00:03:36,854 --> 00:03:39,694 Speaker 1: officer who fatally tasered a ninety five year old aged 62 00:03:39,734 --> 00:03:42,814 Speaker 1: care resident while on duty will remain free after a 63 00:03:42,814 --> 00:03:46,294 Speaker 1: failed legal bid to jail him. Then Senior Constable Christian 64 00:03:46,334 --> 00:03:49,374 Speaker 1: White fired his taser at Claire Noland after being called 65 00:03:49,374 --> 00:03:51,934 Speaker 1: to her New South Wales nursing home on May seventeen, 66 00:03:52,054 --> 00:03:55,214 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. During the brief encounter, White drew his 67 00:03:55,294 --> 00:03:57,614 Speaker 1: stun gun and pointed it at Nolan for a minute 68 00:03:57,694 --> 00:04:00,574 Speaker 1: before discharging the weapon at her chest. The forty eight 69 00:04:00,654 --> 00:04:03,774 Speaker 1: kiloh great grandmother, who had symptoms of dementia fell and 70 00:04:03,854 --> 00:04:06,334 Speaker 1: hit her head. She died in hospital a week later 71 00:04:06,494 --> 00:04:09,094 Speaker 1: after a fatal brain bleed. White was given a two 72 00:04:09,134 --> 00:04:11,894 Speaker 1: year good behavior bond in March after a jury found 73 00:04:11,934 --> 00:04:14,934 Speaker 1: him guilty of manslaughter in the New Southwelles Supreme Court, 74 00:04:15,134 --> 00:04:18,494 Speaker 1: despite calls from prosecutors for jail time. On Wednesday, three 75 00:04:18,614 --> 00:04:20,934 Speaker 1: judges from the New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal 76 00:04:21,054 --> 00:04:25,614 Speaker 1: upheld the imposed sentence, dismissing the prosecution's legal challenge. Sean 77 00:04:25,694 --> 00:04:28,454 Speaker 1: Diddy Coombe's lawyers have urged a judge who oversaw his 78 00:04:28,494 --> 00:04:31,094 Speaker 1: sex crimes trial to release him from jail on a 79 00:04:31,174 --> 00:04:34,614 Speaker 1: multimillion dollar bond ahead of his October three sentencing. After 80 00:04:34,654 --> 00:04:36,694 Speaker 1: the hip hop Mogo was found not guilty of the 81 00:04:36,734 --> 00:04:39,494 Speaker 1: most serious charges he was facing.

Fifty million dollar bond, Combs's defense 83 00:04:42,854 --> 00:04:46,254 Speaker 1: lawyer said conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn 84 00:04:46,374 --> 00:04:49,574 Speaker 1: were dangerous and said defendants convicted in the past of 85 00:04:49,654 --> 00:04:52,974 Speaker 1: prostitution related charges that were similar to Combs were usually 86 00:04:53,054 --> 00:04:56,054 Speaker 1: released before their sentencing. After a six week trial, the 87 00:04:56,094 --> 00:04:58,414 Speaker 1: fifty five year old was found not guilty on July 88 00:04:58,534 --> 00:05:02,094 Speaker 1: two of three counts of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy 89 00:05:02,134 --> 00:05:06,054 Speaker 1: which carried potential life sentences.
