<v Speaker 2>Coming out Fury or the Weather, Iranian bunk has survived,

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:18.239
<v Speaker 2>a bomb blast, journalist wins battle with the national broadcaster,

<v Speaker 2>Katie Fuller with your lunchtime nine News podcast. The White

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 2>House is blasting reports US strikes on Iran did not

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>destroy its nuclear facilities. Nine US correspondent Jonathan Cursley.

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 3>CNN and The New York Times have reported the details

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 3>of what they say is an initial assessment by the

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.919
<v Speaker 3>Defense intelligence community following the strikes ordered by US President

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump on three nuclear sites in Iran. The five

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 3>page document reportedly says the entrances to two of the

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 3>sites were closed off and that the strikes by B

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 3>two bombers loaded with bunker busting bombs only set back

0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Iran's nuclear program by a matter of months. White House

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 3>Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt says the detail is flat out wrong,

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.960
<v Speaker 3>and said the leaking of the classified material was a

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 3>clear attempt to demean President Trump. The commander in chief

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 3>had previously said the strikes obliterated Iran's nuclear facilities in

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.360

<v Speaker 2>be holding. Thousands of citizens have asked for help leaving Iran,

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>but the country's airspace remains closed. Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 2>says the government is doing what it can to help

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:44.679
<v Speaker 2>people escape the region.

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 4>The situation is obviously very volatile there. Our hope is

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 4>that Australians are kept safe. So at the moment there

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 4>are of course not flight out of Iran. We will

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 4>always prioritize the safety of Australians.

<v Speaker 2>Defense Minister is meeting his counterparts at the NATO summit

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.960

<v Speaker 1>Military spending has been top of the agenda at the

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>NATO summit, with the Alliance increasingly concerned about Russia's ongoing aggression.

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>In a bid to deal with the threat, Secretary General

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.679
<v Speaker 1>Mark Rutter says almost all member nations will dramatically increase

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>their defense budget.

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>There was speculation Richard Miles may meet the US President,

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 1>who's also attending, but he says that's not on the

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 5>Not specifically on the gender, and I wouldn't want to

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 5>overstate any of that.

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.440

<v Speaker 2>the economy when it decides whether to cut interest rates

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 2>next month, but economists generally see the Bureau of Statistics

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 2>monthly inflation data as less reliable than quarterly figures, which

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>aren't due until late July. Journalist Antoinette Latoufirs won her

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:28.919

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 6>Justice rejected suggestions that Latouf's race or national extract and

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 6>were a factor, but found the reasons for a termination

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 6>did include that she held political opinions opposing the Israeli

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 6>military campaign in Gaza. The ABC has been ordered to

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.320
