The world is reeling from 201 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: two deadly mass shootings on both sides of the world. 202 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: Old first at Brown University, where a gunman killed two 203 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: people and wounded nine others studying for finals, and at 204 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 2: Bondai Beach in Sydney, Australia, where two shooters killed at 205 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: least fifteen gathered for the first night of Hanukkah. Australian 206 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 2: Prime Minister Anthony Albanie says it was an act of 207 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: pure evil. 208 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 7: There is no place for this hate, violence and terrorism 209 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 7: in our nation. Let me be clear, we will eradicate it. 210 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: There was Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanize in the aftermath 211 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 2: of the shooting at Bondai Beach. Joining us now is 212 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 2: Bloomberg News Chief Asia correspondent Rosalind Mathieson and Roz. First off, 213 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 2: what is the latest that we know about what the 214 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 2: Australian Prime Minister is calling an active terror on his shores? 215 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 13: Good morning, Good morning. Well that's right. So the Australian 216 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 13: government has said this was a targeted attack on the 217 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 13: Australian Jewish community. The worst terrorist attack in Australian history. 218 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 13: Seems to have been a father and son duo who 219 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 13: carried out the attack. They're accused of doing so, and 220 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 13: the father was shot dead during the attack. He came 221 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 13: to Australia from an unknown country on a student visa 222 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 13: many decades ago. His son is an Australian born citizen 223 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 13: critically ill in hospital now with gunshot wounds. He did 224 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 13: come on the radar of the Australian intelligence community back 225 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 13: in twenty nineteen. It's a bit unclear exactly the circumstances 226 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 13: of that, and we don't know again exactly their motivation, 227 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 13: but we do know what they were targeting, and it 228 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 13: comes at a time as Australia, like many countries, is 229 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 13: dealing with a domestic debate around the events in the 230 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 13: Middle East, the war in Gaza, the recognition of a 231 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 13: Palestinian state and more, and certainly Australia has not been 232 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 13: immune to rising anti Semitic incidents. There's been certainly an 233 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 13: uptick in those in recent years. So the motivation does 234 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 13: seem to be pretty clear in that. Although we've not 235 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 13: heard directly from the perpetrators, well. 236 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 2: We certainly have heard though from global leaders, including Israeli 237 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 2: Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu, who had some pretty strong words 238 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 2: for the Australian government in his mind, seeing them as 239 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 2: not doing enough to counter anti Semitism. This raises so 240 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 2: many questions riz not just about that issue, but about 241 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: the immigration issue, the gun rights issue, that so many 242 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 2: of these issues have parallels in this country as well. 243 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 13: Well, that's right. It's going to reopen a lot of 244 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 13: those debates in Australia and they are very delicate and 245 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 13: tricky as they are in many countries. I mean, Australia 246 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 13: is not the only country that has moved to recognize 247 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 13: the Palestinian state. A lot of other countries, including in Europe, 248 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 13: have done similar and Israel's been critical of all those 249 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:47,479 Speaker 13: countries for those moves. But you've got the debate internally 250 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 13: around the war in the Middle East. You've got issues 251 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 13: around immigration. As you were saying, the rise of far 252 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 13: right parties in Australia have been really playing on that 253 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 13: immigration mood and pushing the existing government potentially further to 254 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 13: the right in the process, and that's going to feed 255 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 13: into that debate again this terrorist attack. And on the 256 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 13: gun side, Australia has some of the most stringent gun 257 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 13: control laws in the planet. They've been lauded for the 258 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 13: laws they've had in place for decades since a lone 259 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 13: gunman opened fire on people in Tasmania and killed more 260 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 13: than thirty banning automatic and most semi automatic weapons. However, 261 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 13: in recent years there's been a proliferation of guns again 262 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 13: in Australia, people holding more than one weapon, and so 263 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 13: the government's saying they're going to re examine those laws, 264 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 13: bring them up to date. Perhaps and bring in further 265 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 13: rules around gun control, because it's clear, you know, this 266 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 13: incident is an unusual one for Australia. It doesn't have 267 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 13: a high rate of gun violence compared to other countries. 268 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 13: But that seems to be that the feeling that perhaps 269 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 13: that's led to a little bit of complacency as a result. 270 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: In just thirty seconds. The same could really be said 271 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 2: about Rhode Island, home to Brown University. Also with some 272 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 2: of the strictest gun laws in this country. You wonder 273 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 2: where that debate's going to go in the US. 274 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 13: Now, well, that's right and particularly shocking for that community. 275 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 13: As you say, gun violence is extremely rare where this 276 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 13: attack occurred, and it's been shocking to people as a result, 277 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 13: and you know, essentially closing the university, sending students home 278 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 13: who have not completed their final exams for the semester, 279 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 13: shuttering the university in a real sense of shock, both 280 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 13: in the university and the community that this could happen, 281 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 13: you know, and someone still potentially at large. 282 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 283 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 3: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 284 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 285 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 286 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 3: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 287 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 3: am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 288 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 3: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 289 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 3: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on Serious 290 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 3: XM Channel Y Plus. 291 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 2: Listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app now 292 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: with Apple CarPlay and Android Atto interfaces. 293 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 3: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
