- 0:09Speaker 1: three Opera House protest, where Israeli flags were burned and
- 0:13Speaker 1: protesters chanted Where's the Jews, will be examined by the
- 0:17Speaker 1: Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion. The rally came
- 0:21Speaker 1: two days after her Maas militants slaughtered twelve hundred people
- 0:25Speaker 1: in southern Israel in twenty twenty three, and before Israel
- 0:29Speaker 1: had commenced its war on her Maas. The inquiry will
- 0:32Speaker 1: also probe a neo Nazi rally outside the New South
- 0:35Speaker 1: Wales Parliament in November twenty twenty five, when a row
- 0:38Speaker 1: of black clad men held a sign demanding the so
- 0:42Speaker 1: called Jewish Lobby be abolished. The demonstrations will be the
- 0:46Speaker 1: focus of the Royal Commission's seventh public hearings block on
- 0:49Speaker 1: August three and four. Commission of Virginia Bell says the
- 0:52Speaker 1: right to engage in peaceful protest is fundamental to democracy
- 0:57Speaker 1: and the inquiry will focus on potential movements to the
- 1:01Speaker 1: way authorities respond to antisemitic conduct. China stole the information
- 1:06Speaker 1: of millions of American voters during the twenty twenty presidential election,
- 1:10Speaker 1: and successive American governments covered it up. That's according to
- 1:14Speaker 1: Donald Trump, who says he'll declassify FBI documents containing evidence
- 1:19Speaker 1: of election interference by foreign actors. The announcement came during
- 1:23Speaker 1: a national address by Trump at the White House on
- 1:26Speaker 1: Thursday night.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our
- 1:32Speaker 2: election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot counting systems. Tonight,
- 1:39Speaker 2: we're publishing a series of previously classified US intelligence community
- 1:43Speaker 2: assessments and other reports proving that our government has long
- 1:48Speaker 2: known these machines are extremely exposed to attack.
- 1:52Speaker 1: The president said Beijing had illegally acquired two hundred and
- 1:56Speaker 1: twenty million US voter files since twenty twenty, and he
- 2:00Speaker 1: alleged the Biden administration drag the chain on investigations into
- 2:04Speaker 1: claims of electoral fraud.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Tonight, I'm asking the FBI director to ensure that the
- 2:11Speaker 2: matter is fully investigated and to work with the Department
- 2:14Speaker 2: of Justice to prosecute those responsible for any crimes.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Trump is urging the American public to demand their representatives
- 2:22Speaker 1: support his Save America Act that would require US voters
- 2:27Speaker 1: to provide proof of citizenship when registering and show photo
- 2:31Speaker 1: ID at polling places. Plus it would impose limits on
- 2:35Speaker 1: mail in ballots. Trump also says China sought out journalists
- 2:39Speaker 1: and business leaders who'd been critical of him and his
- 2:41Speaker 1: administration and bribe them to influence the election.
- 2:46Speaker 2: The Chinese government wanted US president to lose the next election,
- 2:50Speaker 2: and the reason they wanted me to lose is because
- 2:54Speaker 2: they knew I was wise to them, charge them billions
- 2:58Speaker 2: and billions of dollars worth of tariffs and built the
- 3:01Speaker 2: strongest military anywhere in the world. We have the strongest
- 3:05Speaker 2: military anywhere in the world.
- 3:08Speaker 1: A Senate inquiry has heard Telstra slept on warnings about
- 3:11Speaker 1: its network infrastructure for years before this month's mass outage.
- 3:16Speaker 1: The shutdown caused chaos across the country on July eighth,
- 3:20Speaker 1: leaving millions of Australians without access to phone lines and
- 3:24Speaker 1: the internet. Public transport services were also disrupted. The Senate
- 3:28Speaker 1: inquiry heard on Friday. The manufacturer of a GPS module
- 3:32Speaker 1: reminded Telstra in January it required an update, but it
- 3:36Speaker 1: wasn't done. Telstra chief executive Vicki Brady says the telco's
- 3:39Speaker 1: investigation into the outage would probe why the update was missed.
