1 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: From the Daily Os. I'm billy, I'm emma. It's Wednesday, 2 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,399 Speaker 1: the twelfth of March. Here's what's making headlines this evening. 3 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 2: Prime Minister Anthony Alberzi has called US President Donald Trump's 4 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 2: decision to impose tariffs on Australian steel and aluminium exports 5 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 2: entirely unjustified. Trump announced a twenty five percent tariff on 6 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 2: imported goods to the US last month. However, the President 7 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: later said he was considering an exemption request from Australia 8 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: after a phone call with Albanzi. Now the White House 9 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 2: has confirmed it won't be making any exceptions with tariffs 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 2: on imported steel and aluminium now in effect. Albanzi said 11 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 2: the federal government would continue to put forward a very 12 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: strong case for an exemption, saying, quote, we will continue 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: to point out that the United States interests are not 14 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: served by today's decision. The PM has ruled out reciprocal 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: tariffs against the US. 16 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: In response, the Victorian government will introduce what is called 17 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: the toughest bail laws in Australia. Its plan includes a 18 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: new bail test aimed at making it harder for high 19 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 1: risk and repeat offenders to be granted bail The state 20 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: government has promised new consequences for people who commit further 21 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: offenses while on bail, or who do not meet their 22 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: bail conditions, for example breaching their curfew. The reforms will 23 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: also include a ban on machetes to reduce knife crime. 24 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: The Victorian government said reoffending remains a serious problem among 25 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: young men and teens, with sixty four percent of burglaries 26 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: perpetrated by under twenty year olds. It said these laws 27 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: squarely target the risks of these younger serious offenders. Legislation 28 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: is expected to be introduced next Tuesday. 29 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: Voters in Portugal are facing their third election in just 30 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: over three years, after the collapse of the country's center 31 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: right government.

Doctor Anthony Romilio from 43 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: the University of Queensland said it's an unprecedented snapshot of 44 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: dinosaur abundance, movement and behavior from a time where no 45 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: fossilized dinosaur bones have been found in Australia.
