- 0:01Speaker 1: Today's Biggest News from The Australian. I'm Claire Harvey with
- 0:04Speaker 1: the Front's afternoon headlines. So called Isis bride, Rayan Elholly
- 0:09Speaker 1: will walk free after she was granted bail in the
- 0:12Speaker 1: Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday. Prosecutors say they have videos
- 0:17Speaker 1: showing Elle Hooly indoctrinating her young children into a violent
- 0:21Speaker 1: jihad while living with them in Syria, demanding they quote
- 0:25Speaker 1: remove the dummy before watching videos of executions and demonstrating
- 0:29Speaker 1: how infidels would be killed with a knife. The thirty
- 0:33Speaker 1: four year old Melbourne mother has been charged with entering
- 0:36Speaker 1: a declared conflict zone and being a member of a
- 0:39Speaker 1: terrorist organization. She's alleged to have traveled to Syria to
- 0:43Speaker 1: join Islamic State in twenty fourteen with her then husband
- 0:47Speaker 1: Ala Khammad. Her lawyers now say El Holly simply drank
- 0:51Speaker 1: the kool aid in following him to the war zone
- 0:53Speaker 1: and was herself not motivated by terror ideology. The Crown
- 0:58Speaker 1: says the videos show, in fact El Holy does have
- 1:01Speaker 1: radical motivations. Her first husband died while fighting with ISIS.
- 1:06Speaker 1: El Hooley married another Australian born fighter who also died.
- 1:10Speaker 1: She then married a third Australian born ISIS member, but
- 1:13Speaker 1: the pair have since divorced. The court heard el Hooley
- 1:17Speaker 1: spent more than six years in Assyrian camp after the
- 1:20Speaker 1: so called Islamic State Caliphate crumbled. She and her four
- 1:24Speaker 1: children were reportedly smuggled out to Lebanon in mid twenty
- 1:28Speaker 1: twenty five. She returned to Australia in September and will
- 1:31Speaker 1: face trial at a later date. Former Attorney General Mark
- 1:37Speaker 1: Dreyfus was the subject of anti Semitic abuse on the
- 1:40Speaker 1: streets of Melbourne in twenty twenty four. Dreyfus told the
- 1:43Speaker 1: Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion on Monday it
- 1:47Speaker 1: was the first such incident in his decades long career
- 1:50Speaker 1: in politics.
- 1:52Speaker 2: This is a sunny Sunday morning in Melbourne. As I
- 1:54Speaker 2: was standing on this street corner, a man approached crossing
- 1:57Speaker 2: the road in Platrope Street, and perhaps this is a
- 2:03Speaker 2: habit of being a member of Federal Parliament. I said
- 2:06Speaker 2: good morning to him as he approach, and he responded
- 2:11Speaker 2: with you are a genocidal Zionist. You should be ashamed
- 2:15Speaker 2: of yourself. By that time, I'd been a member of
- 2:17Speaker 2: the Federal Parliament for some seventeen years. I had never
- 2:22Speaker 2: experienced that form of abuse. I have never up until
- 2:26Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. This was a new development in my
- 2:33Speaker 2: engagement in Australian politics, and I know I'm not alone,
- 2:39Speaker 2: he said.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Legitimate criticism of the Israeli government veers into anti Semitism
- 2:44Speaker 1: when it's directed at Australian Jews.
- 2:48Speaker 2: And we've seen it over and over again, where people
- 2:53Speaker 2: who are troubled by or concerned about events in Gaza,
- 2:56Speaker 2: or concerned about events in the Middle East that somehow
- 3:01Speaker 2: their righteous concern entitles them to attack a Jewish Australian
- 3:10Speaker 2: as somehow as the representative of the government of Israel.
- 3:13Speaker 2: It's wrong.
- 3:14Speaker 1: In this block, the Royal Commission is hearing evidence about
- 3:17Speaker 1: security arrangements within the Australian Jewish community. Drefah said Australia's
- 3:22Speaker 1: hate speech laws should be tightened and states and territories
- 3:26Speaker 1: should legislate bans on protests outside synagogues and Jewish schools.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Spain has lifted the trophy after defeating Argentina in the
- 3:36Speaker 1: final of the FIFA World Cup, but their Kodak moment
- 3:38Speaker 1: was inadvertently photobombed by Donald Trump. The president was nudged
- 3:43Speaker 1: aside by FIFA boss Janny Infantino as the Spanish team
- 3:46Speaker 1: celebrated their one nil win over the defending champions. The
- 3:50Speaker 1: photo faux pas came weeks after Trump called Spain a
- 3:53Speaker 1: quote wasted cause, hopeless and bad people in a meeting
- 3:57Speaker 1: with NATO boss Mark Rutter. Check out those stories live

- 4:09Speaker 1: for our look at Britain's brand new prime minister and
- 4:12Speaker 1: the battered country he's inheriting. So can Andy Burnham fix
- 4:17Speaker 1: the place even the locals call broken Britain? That's right here,
- 4:21Speaker 1: Tuesday morning.
