Mumma Mea acknowledges the 2 00:00:15,414 --> 00:00:18,294 Speaker 1: traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast is 3 00:00:18,334 --> 00:00:24,974 Speaker 1: recorded on. Hi. I'm Kimberly Braddish from Mumma MEA's twice 4 00:00:25,054 --> 00:00:28,214 Speaker 1: daily news podcast, The Quickie with Your Headlines. For Friday, 5 00:00:28,334 --> 00:00:33,174 Speaker 1: January ten, two massive wildfires, the Palisades Fire near Malibu 6 00:00:33,254 --> 00:00:37,054 Speaker 1: and the Eton Fire near Pasadena, continue to burn uncontained, 7 00:00:37,294 --> 00:00:41,254 Speaker 1: devastating Los Angeles, but nearly twelve thousand, five hundred hectares 8 00:00:41,294 --> 00:00:45,374 Speaker 1: consumed and thousands of structures destroyed. At least seven people 9 00:00:45,414 --> 00:00:48,014 Speaker 1: have died. Over one hundred and eighty thousand residents have 10 00:00:48,054 --> 00:00:52,534 Speaker 1: been evacuated, and another two hundred thousand remain under evacuation warnings. 11 00:00:52,814 --> 00:00:55,654 Speaker 1: The death toll is expected to climb as authorities gain 12 00:00:55,734 --> 00:00:59,734 Speaker 1: access to burnt homes. While Eaton's fire's growth has slowed, 13 00:00:59,774 --> 00:01:03,854 Speaker 1: officials worn of intensifying winds that could reignite rapids spread 14 00:01:03,934 --> 00:01:07,054 Speaker 1: with gusts expected to reach one hundred kilometers an hour. 15 00:01:07,534 --> 00:01:11,934 Speaker 1: The fires have destroyed celebrity homes in Pacific, Palisades, reduced 16 00:01:11,974 --> 00:01:17,254 Speaker 1: neighborhoods to ash, and left thousands seeking refuge in temporary shelters. Paris, 17 00:01:17,334 --> 00:01:20,934 Speaker 1: Hilton Anafaris, Billy Crystal, and Eugene Levy are among the 18 00:01:20,974 --> 00:01:25,374 Speaker 1: celebrities whose homes were destroyed. Aerial and satellite imagery show 19 00:01:25,414 --> 00:01:29,454 Speaker 1: the vast devastation, with plumes of smoke visible from space. 20 00:01:30,014 --> 00:01:34,374 Speaker 1: Firefighters have contained the Sunset Fire in Hollywood, sparing iconic 21 00:01:34,494 --> 00:01:38,294 Speaker 1: landmarks like the Walk of Fame. President Joe Biden declaring 22 00:01:38,334 --> 00:01:42,414 Speaker 1: a massive disaster in California as firefighters and resources pour 23 00:01:42,534 --> 00:01:46,174 Speaker 1: in from across the country. Amid the chaos, Chef Jose 24 00:01:46,334 --> 00:01:50,574 Speaker 1: Andres has provided food relief, and actress Jamie Lee Curtis 25 00:01:50,574 --> 00:01:54,214 Speaker 1: has pledged one million US dollars to recovery efforts. The 26 00:01:54,254 --> 00:01:58,174 Speaker 1: fires were driven by powerful Santa Anna winds, which roared 27 00:01:58,214 --> 00:02:01,934 Speaker 1: through parts of California with hurricane like force after months 28 00:02:01,974 --> 00:02:05,814 Speaker 1: of dry weather. The U. S. Supreme Court has rejected 29 00:02:05,854 --> 00:02:08,694 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's attempt to delay his sentencing in a New 30 00:02:08,814 --> 00:02:11,774 Speaker 1: York State corps where he was convicted on thirty four 31 00:02:11,814 --> 00:02:15,694 Speaker 1: counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments 32 00:02:15,734 --> 00:02:19,294 Speaker 1: to pawn actor Stormy Daniels. Trump, the first former US 33 00:02:19,374 --> 00:02:23,334 Speaker 1: president to face criminal prosecution and conviction, sought to invoke 34 00:02:23,454 --> 00:02:28,374 Speaker 1: presidential immunity. While appealing the ruling, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin 35 00:02:28,414 --> 00:02:32,774 Speaker 1: Bragg's office argued against intervention, calling the prosecution justified and 36 00:02:32,894 --> 00:02:36,734 Speaker 1: politically neutral. The trial judge indicated Trump is unlikely to 37 00:02:36,774 --> 00:02:40,614 Speaker 1: face prison time and will instead receive an unconditional discharge. 38 00:02:40,854 --> 00:02:43,894 Speaker 1: This would place a guilty judgment on Trump's record, but 39 00:02:43,934 --> 00:02:47,854 Speaker 1: would not impose custody, a fine, or probation. Trump's lawyers 40 00:02:47,854 --> 00:02:51,934 Speaker 1: contend that prosecutor's improperly admitted evidence of Trump's official acts 41 00:02:52,014 --> 00:02:55,534 Speaker 1: during the trial. They also argue that as president elect, 42 00:02:55,654 --> 00:02:58,854 Speaker 1: Trump is immune from prosecution during the period between his 43 00:02:59,014 --> 00:03:03,294 Speaker 1: November election victory and his inauguration. While the New York 44 00:03:03,374 --> 00:03:07,214 Speaker 1: prosecutor said all of the evidence the defendant challenge in 45 00:03:07,254 --> 00:03:11,134 Speaker 1: his post trial motion either concerned unofficial conduct that is 46 00:03:11,174 --> 00:03:13,814 Speaker 1: not subject to any immunity or is a matter of 47 00:03:13,894 --> 00:03:17,294 Speaker 1: public record that is not subject to preclusion. As a 48 00:03:17,334 --> 00:03:21,014 Speaker 1: trial court correctly held. As to Trump's argument that he 49 00:03:21,134 --> 00:03:25,534 Speaker 1: is immune as president elect, the prosecutors said, this extraordinary 50 00:03:25,614 --> 00:03:29,094 Speaker 1: immunity claim is unsupported by any decision from any court. 51 00:03:29,494 --> 00:03:34,134 Speaker 1: Sentencing is scheduled for Friday in Manhattan. A police officer 52 00:03:34,174 --> 00:03:37,134 Speaker 1: and a man have been shot after a physical altercation 53 00:03:37,414 --> 00:03:40,894 Speaker 1: at a home in Annalie, Brisbane, Queensland. Police responded to 54 00:03:40,934 --> 00:03:44,494 Speaker 1: a disturbance this morning where the confrontation escalated. Both the 55 00:03:44,534 --> 00:03:47,054 Speaker 1: officer and the men were taken to hospital for treatment. 56 00:03:47,454 --> 00:03:50,574 Speaker 1: The Queensland Premier says incidents such as these send a 57 00:03:50,614 --> 00:03:53,574 Speaker 1: shiver up your spine. He praised the bravery of police 58 00:03:53,614 --> 00:03:56,574 Speaker 1: and called for a thorough investigation into the incident. The 59 00:03:56,614 --> 00:04:00,014 Speaker 1: Ethical Standards Command, with oversight from the Crime and Corruption Commission, 60 00:04:00,054 --> 00:04:03,254 Speaker 1: will lead the inquiry, and the wiggles Big Red Car 61 00:04:03,294 --> 00:04:06,294 Speaker 1: has been replaced by a big red ute.

Purple 66 00:04:20,254 --> 00:04:24,094 Speaker 1: Wiggle Locky Gillespie calls the project a celebration for all ages, 67 00:04:24,334 --> 00:04:27,054 Speaker 1: while Blue Wiggle Anthony Field describes it as one of 68 00:04:27,054 --> 00:04:30,334 Speaker 1: their most exciting albums yet.
