• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And right now, Donna de Mayo, Australia correspondent, Good morning.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Donna, good morning.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Now the situation in Sydney. These guys sit down for lunch,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: three people get shot in broad daylight.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mars gunman shot three people at a Sydney kebub
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: shop and the word brazen has been used a lot
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: because yes, it was a daylight attack. It was the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: middle of the afternoon in southwest Sydney. And one of
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the three victims of this horrifying shooting in Auburn has
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: had two previous attempts on his life, according to police.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: We've heard from the acting New South Wales Police Commissioner,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Peter Thurtle, and he says it's beyond comprehension that three
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: people could be gunned down in Sydney in daylight. Eight
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: shots were fired. Now the three people wounded, a twenty
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: six year old man, another yet to be identified, and
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a fifty year old woman who is a shop employee.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Now all of them are in hospital. The twenty six
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: year old had reported to police on bail an hour earlier.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: So the acting police Commissioner says it's outrageous that, as
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: he put it, these people have taken their fight to
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the streets of Sydney. Now we know about a task
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: force that was set up about six or seven months ago,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and it's a task force for about one hundred and
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: fifty detectives and they're going to investigate this latest shooting.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: But it was set up, as I mentioned, a few
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: months ago, after nine shootings between warring criminal gangs, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: as we heard from the acting Police Commissioner, as I said,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: it's not what we expect in this city, all.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Right, And what about Trump and Albanese's was a meeting,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I should say in Canada, the G seven? What are
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: they going to talk about? What does Albanese want?
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Any minute? Now, any minute? So I think it's going
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to be tomorrow morning, very very very early our time.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: And it is the first face to face meeting between
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Albanzi and Donald Trump. Now they have had three, as
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Albanese put it, constructive phone conversations in the past. These
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: phone chats have happened, but the PM says that there
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: are many issues the US president is dealing with at
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the moment, but he does expect to have a constructive
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: engagement with Trump. Now we know that Albanezi has previously
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: said that Trump's tariff regime is an act of economic
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: self harm, so we can only imagine that. Of course,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the proposed tariffs on Ozzie Steele is they're going to
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: come up, and he hopes to revisit those and also
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: discuss the benefits of the orcust Agreement, saying that of
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: course he believes that all three nations, the US, Australia
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and the UK all benefit from ORCUS, so he's hoping
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: to talk that up as well. So let's wait and
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: see how it all pans out between the Prime Minister
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and Donald Trump.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: All right, Donald, appreciate your time this morning. Done to Mayor,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: our Australia correspondent. For more from early edition with Ryan Bridge,
