0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>From the Daily ohs, I'm Billy, I'm Zara. It's Wednesday,

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the eighteenth of December. Here's what's making headlines this evening.

0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 2>The Federal government has unveiled its mid financial year budget update,

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>forecasting a twenty six point nine billion dollar deficit for

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.600
<v Speaker 2>the current financial year. This is slightly smaller than the

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 2>deficit predicted by the government back in May. Treasurer Jim

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Chalmers and Finance Minister Katie Gallagher claimed the deficit this

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 2>year was quote almost half the forty seven point one

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:40.199
<v Speaker 2>billion dollar deficit we inherited for this year from our predecessors.

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 2>There they are referring to the former coalition government. The

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.959
<v Speaker 2>update highlights cost of living pressures is a key issue

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 2>likely to dominate the twenty twenty five election. Shadow Treasurer

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Angus Taylor said in a press conference this afternoon that

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 2>this is the biggest spending government we have seen outside

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 2>of wartime or crisis. His quote goes on to say

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 2>there is absolutely no pathway in this update to a

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.919
<v Speaker 2>restoration of Australian standards of living.

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Alan Jones has been served with an additional eight charges

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>of assault while in court today. These new charges come

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.639
<v Speaker 1>in addition to the twenty six offenses that police charged

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the eighty three year old with in November. It relates

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>to several alleged indecent assaults and sexual touching incidents over

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>nearly two decades. The retired broadcaster spoke outside court today

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:31.039
<v Speaker 1>confirming he will plead not guilty to all thirty four

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.039
<v Speaker 1>assault charges, which he said are all either baseless or

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>they distort the truth. These new alleged offenses relate to

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.960
<v Speaker 1>a tenth victim.

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 2>A senior Russian military figure has been assassinated in Moscow.

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Lieutenant General Igor Kirilov and his assistant were killed when

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 2>a bomb exploded near an apartment building on Tuesday. That's

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>according to a Kremlin spokesperson. Kirilov was the head of

0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Russia's nuclear defense Forces. Prior to his death, Ukraine had

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 2>accused the fifty four year old of war crimes involving

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 2>the use of banned chemical weapons. Ukrainian media and other

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 2>global news outlets have reported the attack was carried out

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 2>by Ukraine's secret service.

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.399

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.800

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Blue creator Joe Brums said, I've always thought Blue deserved

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.799
<v Speaker 1>a theatrical movie. I want this to be an experiential

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.799
