<v Speaker 1>From the Daily Os.

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:07.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm Billy, I'm Zara.

0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:10.920
<v Speaker 1>It's Monday, the ninth of December. Here's what's making headlines

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 1>this evening.

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Prime Minister Anthony Alberizi has today announced a new anti

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 2>Semitism task force to be led by the Australian Federal Police.

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.759
<v Speaker 2>It comes after a Melbourne synagogue was firebombed last Friday

0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 2>in what authorities are now treating as a terrorist attack.

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 2>The task force will be comprised of members of the

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 2>afp AZO and State and Territory police forces. In a

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 2>separate press conference today, Victoria Police Commissioner Shane Patton said

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 2>labeling the arson attack as a terrorist incident would allow

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 2>for quote the best resources, best skilled investigators and people

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 2>who are experts in this field to work on the case.

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Supermarket giant Woolworts has projected it has lost one hundred

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and forty million dollars following strikes among workers at four

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 1>distribution centers in Victoria and South Wales. The financial update

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 1>comes after hundreds of workers went on strike for more

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>than two weeks before the sector's union reached a new

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>pay agreement with the supermarket giant on Saturday. Woolwarth's group

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>CEO Amanda Bardwell said all impacted sites are now operational

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>again and has apologized to customers for the disruption.

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>In the lead up to Christmas, rebel forces have taken

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 2>control of Syria, marking the collapse of the government and

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 2>end of the Assad family's fifty four year rule. Over

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.120
<v Speaker 2>the weekend, a coalition of rebel groups declared the country

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 2>free of President Bashar al Assad. Hours later, it was

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 2>reported that he had fled the country for Russia, who

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>is a close ally of Syria. It's the culmination of

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>a two week campaign that was led by Islamist militant

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>group Hayatariir al Sham, which Australia currently lists as a

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 2>terrorist organization.

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>And for Today's Good News. Over the weekend, Notre Dame

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>in Paris reopened five years after a fire tour through

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the eight hundred and fifty year old cathedral. In April

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen, a fire engulfed the building, destroying most of

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the wood and metal roof and the spire. Immediately after

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the fire, French President Emmanuel Macron said the church would

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>be restored quote more beautiful than ever within five years.

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>At its reopening, Macron said the bells of Notre Dame

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>are ringing again.

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 2>That's the latest from the Dalios newsroom. If you are
