Speaker 1: From the Daily Os.
Speaker 2: I'm belief it, Simon, I'm Emma Gillespie.
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, the thirtieth of July. Here's what's making headlines
Speaker 1: to seek.
Speaker 2: Tsunami warnings are impacting millions of people around the world
Speaker 2: after an eight point eight magnitude earthquake in Russia. The quake,
Speaker 2: recorded near the far East Russian coast this morning, is
Speaker 2: one of the world's most powerful on record, with strong
Speaker 2: aftershocks and high swells expected to hit parts of the Pacific.
Speaker 2: Varying levels of tsunami alerts have been issued in Japan, China,
Speaker 2: the Philippines, Indonesia, Peru, as well as in the US
Speaker 2: states of Hawaii, California, and Alaska. The Bureau of Meteorology
Speaker 2: confirmed there is no tsunami threat to Australia, but New
Speaker 2: Zealand is bracing for strong and unusual currents and unpredictable
Speaker 2: coastal surgeons tonight. Nearly two million people in Japan have
Speaker 2: been told to evacuate as the country's east braces for
Speaker 2: waves of up to three meters high. Meanwhile, in Hawaii,
Speaker 2: multiple evacuation centers have been set up as authorities urged
Speaker 2: low lying coastal communities to head to higher ground. Governor
Speaker 2: Josh Green said one point eight meter waves have been
Speaker 2: recorded moving towards Hawaii from Japan. He said imminent flooding
Speaker 2: is expected across all major Hawaiian islands after the wave hits.
Speaker 2: Green explained quote, it will not hit one beach, it
Speaker 2: will wrap around the islands.
Speaker 1: Inflation has fallen to its lowest level since twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: according to new data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Speaker 1: The latest quarterly figures show inflation dropped to two point
Speaker 1: one percent for the year to June, compared to two
Speaker 1: point four percent in March. It comes after the Reserve
Speaker 1: Bank of Australia said it needed more evidence that inflation
Speaker 1: was stabilizing before it would decide to cut rates further.
Speaker 1: The ABS said the trimmed mean, which is a measure
Speaker 1: of inflation that excludes volatile prices such as petrois, slowed
Speaker 1: to two point seven percent in June, down from two
Speaker 1: point nine percent in March. The RBA will use the
Speaker 1: trim mean in part to inform its next cash rate
Speaker 1: decision on the twelfth of August. Today's figures fall within
Speaker 1: the Central Bank's trimmed mean target range of two to
Speaker 1: three percent.
Speaker 2: Police have arrested a second man over the fire bombing
Speaker 2: attack of a Melbourne synagogue in December. Victorian police labeled
Speaker 2: the arson attack a terrorist incident and promised to bring
Speaker 2: the perpetrators to justice. According to a joint update from
Speaker 2: federal and state police, a twenty one year old man
Speaker 2: was arrested by counter terror officers today over his quote
Speaker 2: alleged role in the arson that severely damaged the Addas
Speaker 2: Israel Synagogue in December. The man is being questioned in
Speaker 2: relation to several charges, each carrying maximum sentences of between
Speaker 2: ten to fifteen years imprisonment. It comes after a twenty
Speaker 2: year old man was charged in connection to the attack
Speaker 2: earlier this month. Police alleged the twenty one year old
Speaker 2: is one of three individuals who broke into the synagogue
Speaker 2: and set the fire, while the twenty year old is
Speaker 2: accused of stealing a car involved in the offense. Investigators
Speaker 2: have promised further arrests and charges soon.
Speaker 1: And today's good news. Archaeologists in Europe have unearthed an
Speaker 1: ancient Celtic settlement filled with thousands of artifacts, including jewelry, coins,
Speaker 1: and ceramics. It's believed the settlement, located in the Czech
Speaker 1: Republic's Bohemia region, would have formed part of a major
Speaker 1: trading and manufacturing hub some two two hundred years ago.
Speaker 1: Local museum and university researchers teamed up for the project,
Speaker 1: which led them to discover what they've called a completely
Speaker 1: exceptional settlement connected to long distance trade routes. Archaeologists also
Speaker 1: discovered twenty two thousand bags of artifacts, including quote everyday objects,
Speaker 1: as well as an unusually rich collection of jewelry.
