WEBVTT - Headlines: Govt announces 2035 emissions target

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:08.400
<v Speaker 1>From The Daily Oz. I'm Emma Gillespie, I'm Sam Kauzloski.

0:00:08.480 --> 0:00:11.799
<v Speaker 1>It's Thursday, the eighteenth of September. Here's what's making headlines

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the CP.

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:19.079
<v Speaker 2>The federal government has announced its anticipated twenty thirty five

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:22.919
<v Speaker 2>emissions reduction target, committing to cut emissions by sixty two

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:27.080
<v Speaker 2>to seventy percent. Emissions reduction targets are aimed at reducing

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 2>greenhouse gas production. The government's twenty thirty five target is

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 2>in line with a recommendation by the Independent Climate Change Authority.

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Alongside this target, the government has also announced initiatives aimed

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:41.520
<v Speaker 2>at lowering electricity prices, boosting the rollout of curbside fast

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:46.520
<v Speaker 2>ev charges, and supporting industries transition to renewables. Prime Minister

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Alberanezi said the sixty two to seventy percent target

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 2>would protect the environment, the economy and jobs for future generations.

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Energy Minister Chris Bowen called the target range ambitious and achievable. However,

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 2>the Jians have called it a failure, while the Coalition

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 2>have vowed to oppose the target. Australia is due to

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 2>confirm its omissions reduction commitment at the UN Climate Conference

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 2>in November.

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Prosecutors have downgraded charges against retired broadcaster Alan Jones. The

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 1>eighty four year old was facing forty four offenses in

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>total for charges related to indecent assault and sexual touching allegations. However,

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>some charges have now been downgraded and eleven have been dropped.

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Jones is now facing twenty five in decent assault charges

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 1>and two counts of sexual touching against nine alleged victims. Jones,

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>who has pleaded not guilty to the historic charges, is

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>expected to face court next year. The trial will proceed

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>without a jury and instead be heard by a local

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>court magistrate. Speaking outside court last year, Jones called the

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>allegations against him baseless.

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 2>US President Donald Trump has attended a banquet hosted by

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 2>the British royal family at Windsor Castle, his second state

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>visit to the UK. King Charles used a speech at

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 2>the event to celebrate the alliance between the US and

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 2>the UK. He also spooked the Orcast submarine deal, which

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 2>is currently under review by the Pentagon. According to international

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 2>media reports, Trump called the dinner and ceremony truly one

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 2>of the highest honors of my life. The president's visit

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 2>was met with widespread protests outside the castle and in

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 2>London's Parliament Square, which is about forty kilometers west of Windsor.

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.399
<v Speaker 2>During the state visit, Trump celebrated the suspension of late

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 2>night host Jimmy Kimmel following his on air comments about

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 2>the death of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk. In a

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 2>post on truth Social he wrote, it's great news for

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 2>America that Kimmel has been taken off the air indefinitely,

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>and tomorrow morning you and I are going to break

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 2>down that story in a bit more detail.

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>We sure are, but before then, today's good news is

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>a supersonic plane is being developed by NASA, and it's

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>getting closer to taking its first flight. The one of

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>a kind X fifty nine quiet supersonic craft, nicknamed Son

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 1>of Concord, can fly faster than the speed of sound

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:11.239
<v Speaker 1>at mark one point five, which is around eighteen hundred

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>kilometers per hour. It's expected X fifty nine will be

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>able to fly from London to New York in less

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>than four hours. The journey currently takes about eight hours

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>on a normal passenger plane. According to NASA, the aircraft

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>is designed to fly supersonic while generating a quiet thump

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>rather than a loud sonic boom, solving a noise problem

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>that has previously prevented such planes from traveling over densely

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>populated areas. NASA researchers have generated thousands of files over

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and thirty seven days of ground tests and

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>system evaluations. Those records provide a detailed history to help

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>engineers verify the aircraft's readiness for its upcoming first flight.

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 2>And that's all we've got for you from the Daily

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.160
