WEBVTT - A short update on Bondi

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Good morning and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Monday,

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the fifteenth of December. We had a podcast planned for

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>you this morning, which we had written, recorded and scheduled

0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to land in your feed. But then on Sunday evening,

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>gunman opened fire at Sydney's Bondai Beach, where a Jewish

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>community event was being held to mark the beginning of Hanukkah.

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>At least twelve people, including one of the alleged shooters,

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>were killed at the scene and twenty nine people were

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>taken to hospital. We're going to be back this evening

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 1>and tomorrow morning with more details from the shooting as

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>they come to us. For now, we wanted to bring

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.560
<v Speaker 1>you a short rap of what we know so far.

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>As previously mentioned, we know that on Sunday evening, as

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Jewish community members gathered at the northern end of Sydney's

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Bondai Beach, two gunmen opened fire. Speaking at a press

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 1>conference on Sunday, Premier Chris Mins said the attack was

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>designed to target Sydney's Jewish community. State Police Commissioner mal

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Lanyon confirmed police are treating it as a terrorist attack.

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>He said one of the suspected gunmen is dead and

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the other is in custody. Lanyon added that police are

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>investigating the weapons use, as well as a vehicle in

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Bondai suspected to have improvised bombs inside. After Minns spoke,

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister Anthony Albernizi spoke to media from Parliament House

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>in Canberra, where he said he'd just come from a

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 1>meeting of the National Security Committee, a group of senior

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 1>cabinet ministers. He said federal authorities also consider this a

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>terrorist attack, calling it an act of evil anti Semitism.

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Albinizi also mentioned the bravery of civilians on the ground

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>in Bondai, including the man whose social media footage shows

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>disarming one of the gunmen. That's all we know so far.

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>In the coming hours and days, there will be a

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of information flying around. Some of it will be true,

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>some of it will be false. Our job and our
