WEBVTT - Headlines: Housing ministers debate key policies

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>From the Daily OS. I'm Emma Gillespie, I'm Lucy Tassel.

0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:12.120
<v Speaker 1>It's Wednesday, the sixteenth of April. Here's what's making headlines

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 1>this evening.

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Housing Minister Claire O'Neil and Shadow Housing Minister Michael Suka

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:21.640
<v Speaker 2>have clashed over affordable housing policy during a debate at

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 2>the National Press Club. O'Neil called housing quote the biggest

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 2>social and economic challenge facing our country right now, blaming

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:33.519
<v Speaker 2>a chronic national shortage of affordable housing on previous Coalition

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 2>governments in action. Shadow Minister Suka promised to quote build

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 2>more homes than the Labor Party and put community housing

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 2>providers at the heart of social and affordable housing if

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 2>the Coalition wins the May III election. It comes ahead

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 2>of tonight's second leader's debate, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 2>and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton expected to face more questions

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 2>on housing and cost of living relief measures. The debate

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 2>will be brought cast live by the ABC at eight

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 2>pm AST.

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Chinese airlines have reportedly been ordered to pause all purchases

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>from US aviation manufacturing giant Boeing. The direction by the

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Chinese government comes amid its escalating trade war with the US.

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>The Trump administration has announced a one hundred and forty

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>five percent tariff increase on goods imported to the US

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>from China. Under a pre existing deal worth billions of dollars,

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Boeing was expected to deliver one hundred and seventy nine

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>jets to Chinese carriers before twenty twenty seven. The future

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>of the deal now remains uncertain, according to a report

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>by Bloomberg. Beijing has also asked carriers including Air China,

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>China Eastern Airlines, and China Southern Airlines not to buy

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>any equipment or parts from US companies.

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Rebel forces in Sudan have declared a rival government two

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 2>years after civil war broke out in the region. The

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Rapid Support Forces or RSF paramilitary group took control of

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the capital, Khartoum in twenty twenty three. However, Sudan's army

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 2>reclaimed the city last month. Now, the RSF has announced

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 2>what it's called the Government of Peace and Unity in

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 2>areas still under its control. The declaration poses a direct

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 2>challenge to the authority of the Sudanese Army. New figures

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.959
<v Speaker 2>from the United Nations estimate the two year conflict has

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 2>forced twelve million people to flee their homes. It said

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:36.079
<v Speaker 2>millions of women, children and displaced families are suffering through

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 2>what it called one of the worst humanitarian crises of

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:40.359
<v Speaker 2>the twenty first century.

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>And today's good news. Two men have set a new

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.839
<v Speaker 1>speed climbing record in the Swiss Alps. The climbing pair

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 1>from Switzerland and Austria completed the north faces of a

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>trail of mountains ten hours faster than the previous record,

0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>which was set more than twenty years ago. The feat

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:04.359
<v Speaker 1>took Nicholas Hojak and Philip Bruger a total of fifteen

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>hours and thirty minutes in icy conditions. Hojack described the

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>experience as completely surreal. The trio of peaks conquered by

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>the pair are considered some of the most challenging climbs

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>in the Swiss Alps.

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 2>That's the latest from the Daily Os newsroom. If you're

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 2>looking for something else, you can listen to today's deep

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 2>dive on Australia's worst known IVF mix up.

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>We will be back tomorrow morning with another deep dive,

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>but until then, have a wonderful evening.

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>My name is Lily Maddon and I'm a proud Arunda

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:45.560
