0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>From The Daily Os.

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm Lucy Tassel, I'm Sam Kazlowski.

0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>It's Wednesday, the sixteenth of July. Here's what's making headlines

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>this evening.

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:18.239
<v Speaker 2>Convicted murderer Bradley John Murdoch has died in palliative care

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 2>in Alice, Springs of throat cancer, as Northern Territory Police

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:25.000
<v Speaker 2>renewed calls to find the body of his victim, Peter Falconio.

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 2>In two thousand and one, Murdock fatally shot Falconio on

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the side of the Stuart Highway in the NT. He

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 2>also attempted to kidnap Falconio's partner, Joanna Lees, who escaped

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.200
<v Speaker 2>and hid in the bush for several hours. Lees later

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:41.880
<v Speaker 2>positively identified Murdoch as her partner's killer, and a court

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 2>found him guilty in two thousand and five. A subsequent

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 2>appeal failed. Murdock always maintained his innocence and never revealed

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 2>the location of Falconio's body. In a statement today, the

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>NT Police said it was still offering an existing reward

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 2>of five hundred thousand dollars for any information leading to

0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>the discovery of Falconio's remains.

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Former Liberal candidate Jiselle Capterarian has announced she will contest

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the result in the Sydney seat of Bradfield, which she

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>lost to Independent Nicolette Buller in the High Court. The

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>seat was one of the last to be called following

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 1>the May twenty second election, and the result came after

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>extensive counting. In a statement to Instagram, Captarian said she

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>wanted to quote ensure the intentions of the voters of

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Bradfield are accurately reflected in the final count. When the

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>margin in a seat is fewer than one hundred votes,

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>the Australian Electoral Commission conducts an automatic recount. Candidates can

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.759
<v Speaker 1>also escalate the result to the High Court, which sits

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>as the Court of Disputed Returns, to analyze the results

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 1>and make a final dodgment call. Buller said she will

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>defend the court challenge. Parliament is due to see it

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>for the first time since the election next Tuesday.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Let's whip around the world of sport now with a

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 2>couple of updates. A league team, Sydney FC has beaten

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Reynolds Welsh team ExHAM at a show match in

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Sydney last night. The score line there two one. The

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 2>winning goal was scored in the seventy fourth minute by

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 2>eighteen year old Joe Lacey, who was brought on as

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 2>a substitute in the second half. Sticking with soccer now,

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 2>the Women's Euros quarterfinals will begin early tomorrow morning Australian

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Eastern Standard time, with Norway taking on Italy. Norway dominated

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 2>their group stage, winning all three of their matches, while

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Italy squeaked in with one win, one draw and one loss.

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 2>And finally, let's get into the good news spirit with

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>a highlight from the Australian women's basketball team, the Opals,

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 2>who have made it to the semifinals of the Women's

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Asian Cup. The Oples beat Japan seventy nine to sixty

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>seven in their last group stage game, having already beaten

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Lebanon and the Philippines.

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>And today's good news, three year old Caitlin Melor, Yes three,

<v Speaker 1>has qualified for the Krufts Dog Show, the UK's top

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>at a local competition in Wales last month to qualify

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 1>for the big event. She told the BBC that ZeVA

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>sleeps in her bed with her and that she loves

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.799
<v Speaker 1>winning and getting Rosettes with her dog. Caitlin is believed
