  Speaker 1: Today's biggest news from The Australian. I'm Claire Harvey with
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the Front's afternoon headlines. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netna, who
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: will meet Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and he wants the US President to keep pushing to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: get rid of Iran's Ayatolas. The two leaders fell out
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in spectacular style in June when Trump reportedly called Netna,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: who effing crazy? Back then, Israel was continuing to attack Hesbala,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the Iran backed militia based across Israel's northern border in Lebanon,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: while Trump was trying to negotiate a peace deal with
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Iran itself. Now Trump's decided it's the Iranians who are crazy,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: as that peace steel falls apart. The past fortnight has
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: seen the renewal of hostilities, with Iran firing on United
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: States assets and allies in the Gulf and the US
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: conducting airstrikes on Iranian territory, plus ongoing disagreement about who
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: controls the Strait of hall Mud. Those tensions appear to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: have eased in the past day or so, with an
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: apparent pause in hostilities. Trump says regime change is not
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a goal of his war, but Netanyahu thinks it should be.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: We'll take it for Iran to understand, either for this
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: regime to fall, or for Iran to realize that the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: cost of reaking economic chaos to the world, murdering its
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: thousands of its own citizens and shooting at everyone. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: think when this regime is either toppled or it's sufficiently
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: weakened that it knows it has to end its nuclear
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: program and has to change its course. That's really what
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: President Trump is trying to achieve, and I back fully
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: his efforts to do so. If he can do so
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: without returning to intense military fighting, that's fine, why not.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: But one way or the other, they have to end
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: their nuclear program, and with a deal or without a deal,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: that has to come to an end.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Trump will also meet in coming days with another leader

  Speaker 1: posts made by Wilson about mcinness following a quote bizarre
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: bathtub incident at the Bondai apartment of producer Amanda Ghost
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: were substantially true. The judge also found mcinness suffered no
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: reputational harm. Mckinness was also ordered to pay Wilson's legal costs.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: In documents file to the court, mckinness accuses Wilson of
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: making quote dishonest statements and false narratives, and claims the

  Speaker 1: actor gave false evidence. Check out those stories live right
