WEBVTT - Headlines: Canada's Liberal Party secures fourth term

0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>From The Daily Os.

0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:08.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm Emma Gillespie, I'm Lucy Tassel.

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>It's Tuesday, the twenty ninth of April. Here's what's making

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 1>headlines this evening.

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 2>The Australian stock market has reached a two month high

0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 2>with news the Trump administration is expected to soften automotive tariffs.

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 2>It follows recent uncertainty across global markets off the back

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 2>of the US president's sweeping Liberation Day tariffs, which included

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:33.519
<v Speaker 2>a twenty five percent tax on cars and car parts

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 2>imported to America. Auto manufacturers warned the levee would lead

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 2>to increased prices and decreased sales and quote make servicing

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 2>and repairing vehicles both more expensive. Now, White House officials

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 2>say Trump will reduce tariffs on foreign made car parts

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 2>used in American manufactured cars. Vehicles made outside the US

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 2>will still be subject to tariffs, but automakers won't have

0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 2>to pay stacked duties on things like allium and metals.

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 2>News of the tariff relief has seen the best stay

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 2>for Australian markets in eight weeks, with the ASX two

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.559
<v Speaker 2>hundred up by nearly one percent at close today.

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Queensland Police has charged a teenager after a vandalism attack

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>on opposition leader Peter Dutton's office. It's the third time

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the Brisbane site has been targeted during this election campaign.

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Police were called to the office in Dutton's electorate of

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Dixon early this morning, where the facade of the building

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>had been covered in red paint and anti Dutton posters.

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.040
<v Speaker 1>An eighteen year old woman has been charged with willful

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>damage and is due in court next month, as police

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>continue searching for three other people. Dutton faced further disruptions

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>this afternoon, canceling a planned press conference due to anti

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>nuclear protesters. The Liberal Party leader, who described the vandalism

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>of his office as outrageous, said he supports democratic processes

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>but doesn't want situations where people are being intimidated.

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Canada's Liberal Party has secured a fourth term of government

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 2>in the country's snap election today, defying predictions from earlier

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>this year. Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stepped down as

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 2>leader of the center left Liberals and retired from parliament

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.920
<v Speaker 2>earlier this year amid poor polls. His replacement, Mark Carney,

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 2>called to the election within days of taking on the

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 2>prime ministership. Analysts suggested Carney, who once led Canada and

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 2>England Central Banks were seen as a safe choice to

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.959
<v Speaker 2>lead the country through economic turmoil brought on by US

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 2>President Donald Trump's tariffs. Opposition leader Pierre Poillieve, who leads

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 2>the Conservatives, conceded defeat earlier today and is projected to

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.519
<v Speaker 2>lose his seat in Ottawa. While it's not yet known

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 2>if the Liberals will need to form a minority government,

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.799
<v Speaker 2>it is clear the country's smaller parties are facing their

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 2>worst results in years, with the left leaning New Democratic Party,

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 2>which has formed government with the centre left Liberals before,

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 2>down more than a dozen seats.

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 1>And today's good news, Researchers have discovered the oldest known

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>ant fossil in Brazil. The one hundred and thirty one

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 1>million year old specimen proves that ants existed around the

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>world at the same time as dinosaurs. A team of

0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 1>experts from the University of Sal Paolo discovered the fossilized

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>female ant in limestone from a well known geological site

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>in Brazil's northeast. The specimen has been identified as the

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>extinct wasp like hell ant. According to findings published in

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the journal Current Biology, it means ants spread through global

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>ecosystems earlier than once believed. The discovery quote represents the

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>earliest undisputed ant known to science.

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 2>That's the latest from the Dallyos newsroom. If you're looking

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 2>for something else, you can listen to today's deep Dive,

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 2>where we take a close look at the minor parties

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 2>and independents.

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>For an explainer on all things to do with the Greens,

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>One Nation, the Trumpet of Patriots and more plus key independence.

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you check out that one. We will be

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 1>back tomorrow morning with another deep dive, but until then,

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>have a great night.

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 2>My name is Lily Maddon and I'm a proud Arunda

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Bungelung Calcuttin woman from Gadighl Country. The Daily oz acknowledges
