Speaker 1: From the Daily Os.
Speaker 2: I'm Billy, I'm Zara.
Speaker 1: It's Monday, the ninth of December. Here's what's making headlines
Speaker 1: this evening.
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Anthony Alberizi has today announced a new anti
Speaker 2: Semitism task force to be led by the Australian Federal Police.
Speaker 2: It comes after a Melbourne synagogue was firebombed last Friday
Speaker 2: in what authorities are now treating as a terrorist attack.
Speaker 2: The task force will be comprised of members of the
Speaker 2: afp AZO and State and Territory police forces. In a
Speaker 2: separate press conference today, Victoria Police Commissioner Shane Patton said
Speaker 2: labeling the arson attack as a terrorist incident would allow
Speaker 2: for quote the best resources, best skilled investigators and people
Speaker 2: who are experts in this field to work on the case.
Speaker 1: Supermarket giant Woolworts has projected it has lost one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty million dollars following strikes among workers at four
Speaker 1: distribution centers in Victoria and South Wales. The financial update
Speaker 1: comes after hundreds of workers went on strike for more
Speaker 1: than two weeks before the sector's union reached a new
Speaker 1: pay agreement with the supermarket giant on Saturday. Woolwarth's group
Speaker 1: CEO Amanda Bardwell said all impacted sites are now operational
Speaker 1: again and has apologized to customers for the disruption.
Speaker 2: In the lead up to Christmas, rebel forces have taken
Speaker 2: control of Syria, marking the collapse of the government and
Speaker 2: end of the Assad family's fifty four year rule. Over
Speaker 2: the weekend, a coalition of rebel groups declared the country
Speaker 2: free of President Bashar al Assad. Hours later, it was
Speaker 2: reported that he had fled the country for Russia, who
Speaker 2: is a close ally of Syria. It's the culmination of
Speaker 2: a two week campaign that was led by Islamist militant
Speaker 2: group Hayatariir al Sham, which Australia currently lists as a
Speaker 2: terrorist organization.
Speaker 1: And for Today's Good News. Over the weekend, Notre Dame
Speaker 1: in Paris reopened five years after a fire tour through
Speaker 1: the eight hundred and fifty year old cathedral. In April
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, a fire engulfed the building, destroying most of
Speaker 1: the wood and metal roof and the spire. Immediately after
Speaker 1: the fire, French President Emmanuel Macron said the church would
Speaker 1: be restored quote more beautiful than ever within five years.
Speaker 1: At its reopening, Macron said the bells of Notre Dame
Speaker 1: are ringing again.
Speaker 2: That's the latest from the Dalios newsroom. If you are
Speaker 2: heading home and looking for another podcast to keep your company,
Speaker 2: make sure you catch up on today's Deep Dive, which
Speaker 2: was a look at the sixteen Days of activism, which
Speaker 2: wraps up tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We'll be back again tomorrow morning, but until then, have
Speaker 1: a great evening. My name is Lily Maddon and I'm
Speaker 1: a proud Arunda Bungelung Cargoton woman from Gadigl Country. The
Speaker 1: Dally oz acknowledges that this podcast is recorded on the
