1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: Murray Old Joys as he mus.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 2: And we get a mate an afternoon.

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 1: All right, this is a bit concerning. Australians have been

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: told to get out of Lebanon.

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: Sure have that's right.

6
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 3: Look, there's a quarter million Australians who were either born

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 3: there or who are descended from Lebanese migrants to Australia,

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 3: and a lot of them have family and at any

9
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 3: given part of the year there's going to be thousands

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 3: and thousands of Australians Lebanese Australians visiting Lebanon.

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: So it's extremely serious. Kenny Wong made that point. She's

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 2: the Foreign Minister here.

13
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: She said get out of Lebanon while there's still commercial

14
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 3: flights available. That video message overnight urging Australians to basically flee.

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 3: If you can't get a plane, get on a car,

16
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 3: get on a highway and get out because you know,

17
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: the temperature has just gone boomed straight up after the

18
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: death of that Hesbala commander and Lebanon, the assassination of

19
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: the Hummas leader in Iran, the government fiers Beirut Airport's

20
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: going to be closed down, you know, in a minute,

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: and so that's going to leave that unreliable land route.

22
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: Even I've forgotten about this. I was reminded this afternoon.

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: I heard a news car and I read a news

24
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 3: story about a Dunkirk style evacuation that happened back in

25
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: twenty six. Five thousand ozzies were taken by sea from

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 3: Lebanon over to Cyprus. So a pretty extraordinary times then.

27
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what, it's pretty scary right now.

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: It just reminds you that Hebela's base was in Lebanon.

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: And of course you and I are both old enough

30
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: to remember that Lebanon used to be the rivi era

31
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: of the ministerranean of the Arab world.

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: It used to was beautiful.

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: It was a lovely place to go to. It now, well,

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: not so much. They found a couple of bodies on

35
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: a yacht near Sydney.

36
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: Not sure what this is about. A couple either in

37
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: their fifties or sixties. They were on a yacht just

38
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: here in Sydney's, you know, immediate north of the Harbor Bridge.

39
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: There's a marina there, beautiful marina, lovely part of the world,

40
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: gorgeous yacht.

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: A couple went on.

42
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: Board on on that chew Day night and the alarm

43
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: was raised when they didn't come off the boat. Police

44
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: went there last night found the couple dead man and

45
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 3: a woman in their fifties or sixties. We don't know

46
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: at this point, nor do we know if this is

47
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: tragically a murder suicide or was it simply a couple

48
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: of deaths because maybe there's a gas bottle leaking. We

49
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: don't know, but police did detect the smell of gas

50
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: apparently when they went on board, had to call fire

51
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: and rescue in to make the place safe, and those

52
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: bodies removed this morning. We'll find out more, I'm sure,

53
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 3: either later today or tomorrow.

54
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: All Right, to the Olympics, which of course is dominating

55
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: news around the world. How's Australia going in the Olympics?

56
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, thought pretty well, a bunch of gold medals. Although

57
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: the swimming world was the Australian swimming world was upended

58
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: last night when thirty year old swede Sarah Sustrom Sonstrom

59
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: They've got that pronunciation right.

60
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: She's thirty.

61
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: She's been gamed in the Olympic Games for sixteen years.

62
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: She was the grandmar in the field and she won

63
00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 3: a splendid race.

64
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: My goodness, what a race by that woman.

65
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: Fantastic and obliterated the Aussie girls twenty five year old

66
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: Shana Jack and twenty year old Molly O'Callahan. They were

67
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 3: the fastest two qualifiers. They finished fourth and fifth, so

68
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 3: that was pretty big. Also the big news here, Kyle Chalmers,

69
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: he's twenty six years old, won the one hundred meters

70
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,040

Speaker 3: Finished second again last night to this Chinese wonder kid

72
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 3: nineteen years old name of pan Zan Lee. Now there's

73
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: some sort of controversy, he says, Kyle Charmers ignored him

74
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: at the start of the Olympic Games. But all these

75
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: thwods are in the zone if he ignored them. I

76
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: mean after the race, Charmers, he finished second and the

77
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: third place get it.

78
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: They were all.

79
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 3: Hugs and smiles with the young Chinese guy. But it's

80
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: the manner of the win that's got people talking. This

81
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: guy nineteen years old. He has won, he said, a

82
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: new world record, first world record in the pool. But

83
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: he's won by for a second. And this isn't a

84
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: race that's determined by one one hundreds of a second.

85
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: Gee, how would you do that with a body length

86
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: in front.

87
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: How would you do that? How would you do that?

88
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: I wonder, Yeah, it is training.

89
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: I'm not going to point the finger at twenty three

90
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: Chinese swimmers who were who are tested positive to a

91
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 3: drug and then were cleared by WADA and the Chinese

92
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: swimming Look, no one wants.

93
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 2: To go down that path. It's a it's just a

94
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: bloody dead end. It's horrible.

95
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 3: You want to think that everybody is competing on a

96
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: level playing field, don't we We all want to think that.

97
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: But someone going to say, gee, where's the New Zealand
