<v Speaker 1>violent crimes to be granted bail. Courts must now have

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.440

<v Speaker 1>Finochiaro told the parliament, if a judge determines you're a

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 1>risk to the community, you don't deserve to be in

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the community. The new laws will come into effect on

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>the seventh of May.

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 2>A mineral's deal between the US and Ukraine has been

<v Speaker 2>the US will be able to share in revenue from

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Ukraine's rare earth minerals plus oil and gas. In return,

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Ukraine will receive increased military assistance and security from the US.

<v Speaker 2>In a statement, UA Treasury Secretary Scott Bercent said this

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 2>agreement signals clearly to Russia that the Trump administration is

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 2>committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 2>and prosperous Ukraine over the long term. Ukraine's President Vladimir

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Zelenski said, we see this agreement as a step toward

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:22.359
<v Speaker 2>greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>it will work effectively.

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.040

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.280

<v Speaker 1>three eight hundred kilometers from Cottslow Beach in Perth to

<v Speaker 1>Bondai Beach in Sydney in just thirty four days. For Herndle,

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not only an attempt to set a new world record,

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.679
<v Speaker 1>but an opportunity to start a conversation about domestic violence.

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Herndle's run coincides with Domestic Violence Prevention Month and she

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>is aiming to raise a million dollars for Rise Up Australia,

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>which is a charity's apporting families fleeing domestic violence. In

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>an interview with TDA, Herndel said, the most important thing

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 1>for me is getting help and making a change and

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>impact for those who are suffering in a domestic violence

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:12.399
