Speaker 1: From the Daily Odds. I'm Zara Seidler, I'm Lucy Tassel.
Speaker 1: It's Friday, the eleventh and April. Here's what's making headlines
Speaker 1: this evening.
Speaker 2: Opposition leader Peter Dutton has responded to reports he was
Speaker 2: allegedly the target of a terror plot last year. According
Speaker 2: to a report by The Australian, a sixteen year old
Speaker 2: boy is accused of planning to attack Dutton at his
Speaker 2: Brisbane home. Commenting on the incident today, Dutton described politics
Speaker 2: as a quote brutal business, but said he feels protected
Speaker 2: by the Australian Federal Police. It's understood the teen is
Speaker 2: in police custody awaiting trial in Queensland Supreme Court. The
Speaker 2: Prime Minister confirmed he reached out to the opposition leader
Speaker 2: directly after learning about the reports. Albanize said there's no
Speaker 2: place whatsoever in politics for any of this. The PM
Speaker 2: told reporters he was also the target of what he
Speaker 2: called a pretty serious incident which is currently before legal processes.
Speaker 1: The Bureau of Meteorology has warned there is a high
Speaker 1: chance of a tropical cyclone forming off WA's north this weekend.
Speaker 1: BOMB meteorologist Dean Narramore said a tropical low well to
Speaker 1: the northwest of Darwin is likely to intensify as we
Speaker 1: move throughout today and tonight, before it's expected to pass
Speaker 1: north of the Kimberley as a Category one system on
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon. Communities along the Kimberley coast are being told
Speaker 1: to brace for possible heavy rainfall and damaging wind gusts
Speaker 1: of up to eighty five kilometers per hour developing in
Speaker 1: areas between Berkeley River Mouth and Cockatoo Island. Locals are
Speaker 1: being urged to download the Emergency WA app to stay updated.
Speaker 2: A woman believed to have been wrongfully imprisoned in Russia
Speaker 2: has been released after fifteen months behind bars. Senya Carolina
Speaker 2: walks free as part of a US Russia prisoner swap.
Speaker 2: A citizen of both countries, the thirty three year old
Speaker 2: was arrested during a visit to family in Russia last year.
Speaker 2: She was later charged with high treason over a small
Speaker 2: donation she made to a Ukrainian charity. In exchange for
Speaker 2: her release from Russia, the US agreed to free Russian
Speaker 2: German citizen Arthur Petrov, who was charged with trying to
Speaker 2: smuggle US microelectronics to Russian military factories. In twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: the high profile swap took place in Abu Dharby. It's
Speaker 2: the second US led prisoner exchange in as many months.
Speaker 1: And some Friday good news. Forty percent of the world's
Speaker 1: electricity was generated by clean energy in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: That's according to a new report. EMBA, an independent global
Speaker 1: energy think tank, attributed the result to record growth in
Speaker 1: the renewable sector last year, particularly across solar energy. In
Speaker 1: its report, EMBER said solar generation has doubled in the
Speaker 1: last three years, adding more electricity than any other source
Speaker 1: over that period. Twenty twenty four was also a record
Speaker 1: year for solar capacity installations, for example, roof panels on
Speaker 1: homes and businesses. EMBER estimates that even if electricity demand grows,
Speaker 1: clean generation growth will be fast enough to keep pace.
Speaker 2: That's the latest from the Daily Os newsroom. If you're
Speaker 2: looking for something else, you can listen to today's deep
Speaker 2: dive on tda's quest to get an interview with opposition
Speaker 2: leader Peter Dutton.
Speaker 1: Will of course be back with some good news via
