  Speaker 1: to die and now you die too. It has none
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: of the traditional hallmarks of AI slop. There are no

  Speaker 1: furious response from the entertainment industry. A spokesman for Byte Dance,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the Chinese owner of TikTok, said they heard the concerns

  Speaker 1: piating its copyrighted material, including characters from The Star Wars,

  Speaker 1: Marvel and other Disney franchises, to train its AI models.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: This issue was part of the Giant Hollywood Strike from
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a few years back, where actors and other artists were
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: fighting for the right to own their own images and

• 1:47
  Speaker 1: TV shows. It's also part of a backlash from creators,

  Speaker 1: including journalists, authors, musicians and artists against AI companies, which
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: claim they are allowed to scrape the in net for
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: creative works to train their AI models without having to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: pay anything to the original producers. Media companies, including News
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Corp Australia, publisher of The Australian, want the government to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: ensure software companies can't exploit loopholes and ambiguous wording in
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: copyright laws to steal human work and profit from it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Dozens of so called Isis brides and their children who
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: are trying to get home to Australia are stuck in Syria.

  Speaker 1: A group of up to thirty four people left the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Al Roje refugee camp in northeastern Syria for the capital
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Damascus on Monday night. From there, they reportedly planned to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: travel onward to Australia, but only made it about fifty
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: kilometers down the road.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Are you happy to be back.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And Muhammed's coming out? It's not clear at this stage
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: if the planned exodus was canceled or just postponed. The
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Albanese government says it is not and will not repatriate
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: people from Syria. They've cited national security concerns following the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Bondai Beach terror attack in December, where fifteen people were
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: killed by two gunmen allegedly motivated by extremist Islamic ideology,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: but the women and their children in the Syrian camp,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: who are Australian citizens, are free to make their own
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: way back to Australia. They've been living in camps like
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Al Roje since twenty nineteen, when the Islamic State so
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: called Caliphate crumbled. Many of the women traveled to Syria
• 3:38

• 3:42
  Speaker 1: State or were married to Islamic State fighters and had children.

• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of six women and their children returned to Australia in September.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi won't say if his government will
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: impose temporary exclusion orders on the group. Well, what we
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: will do our national security issues is we deal with
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it appropriately. Upon our bus one Nation leader Pauline Hansen
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: says the group should be banned from re entering Australia.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: We're in a situation now in Australia. We can either
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: go down one path and we will reap the rewards
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: of our tough stands against Islam, or if we open
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: up the borders and allow more in the country, we're
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: going to suffer.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson says the government's priority should be
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the safety of Australians.
