information in relation to then i finally decided that very clearly i've had so yeah. so i size do a one touched light is terribly incident this afternoon. i do not have the information in relation to the same that i do not know at this stage. so if you would be you would understand this is quad roll. a car is very new and we are continuing to like attempts to identify the offender in this matter. so we just heard there from the new south wales police. let's bring in a journalist, roger maynard standing by for us in sydney. roger, thank you for taking this time. can you tell us what is the latest that we know about this incident? yeah, well, this attack is left. australia is shocked by the sheet of severity for which no motive has been established. either at least 6 people have died,

including the attack a several more, including a 9 month old baby was seriously injured. a penny broke out shortly before 4 o'clock in the afternoon. local time when the shopping center at bone died, junction is that it's busiest eye witnesses spoke of a man with a large knife randomly attacking members of the public, including a mother and child. they spoke a casual to his line, bleeding on the floor and shop is running for the lives local media here. the father who was with his 2 children at the time. anyway, 2 gunshots, it was frightening. you said it was harrowing with a caring and a stool with hundreds of other people. another guy with this scudding tag was looking scaffolded and counting, brandishing a knife and chasing customers. so i really horrendous situation. other shopping mouth, which is that is busiest on saturday afternoon. so very little information about the victims there and, and it does seem we do not yet have from police a motive from the suspected attack, or is it clear whether he was acting alone the police of rudolf any uh,

2nd person uh in this uh drama. uh certainly that appears he was uh, acting alive and the police have confirmed that they also spoke about the wound and put the police officer who, who sold the attack and ordered him to throw down his weapon when he failed to do so, she reportedly showed him 3 or 4 times. now i'm going to tell you the caribbean seemed running up and down escalators lashing out as people as he went. many customers with whoever and show them separately from their friends or family. and we're waiting outside the the showing of earlier today. hoping to be re, re united as quickly as possible. really, really well, we'll talk meant horror, this major incident and why it happened. does he have to emerge coming? is it a, on a sunday weekend as thousands of sit beside is, went about the set to they have to go shopping. so is it now safe to say that the situation has been brought under control? and do we have a sense of where things might go from here in terms of an investigation into this?

well, the police have said that there is no ongoing danger. the situation, the drama, the threats is over. and they've not raised the possibility of terrorism, although they have been suggestions that to terrorism might be on those you, but i certainly know confirmation of that at the moment. so it's still pretty much an ongoing investigation. and i suppose you suspect would have wait some hours before we get a much clearer picture of what really went on. well, thank you so much for joining us with the latest there. that is journalist or roger maynard and sydney as to some other news now and us president joe biden says he expects iran to attack israel sooner rather than later. he warrants tyrone against any attack while underscore in washington's commitment of defending israel. fears of a ronnie and a retaliation have been building since an air strike widely blamed on israel hit turbulence consulate in damascus on april. first. israel has wrapped up, it's

a tax on iran link to target since the october 7th, tara tax. and here's biden, with a message for iran. from the wrong expectation sooner than later. what is your, what is your message to a ron? what is your message to around right now? iran in this moment don't are. earlier i spoke to our correspondent in jerusalem, rebecca rivers and i asked her what kind of information israel has on the likelihood of an iranian attack as well. the exact concrete information that either the us or is riley intelligence have is difficult to ascertain. we don't know exactly what they know. they obviously only want to give you that information publicly what they want to know what they want to be known publicly and everything

that we have come from limited briefings leaks, reports and the like. but what we do know is that both iran and israel, as you've just reported their president biden, both sides taking this face threat incredibly seriously. we've been, they've been now more than a week. these threats and they are a not, they're not messing around. the us bolstering defense. it's defense and deterrence in the region, as you just reported there. and we've been a also have getting reports. so there been reports in the, in the us media to suggest that iran has also threatened us targets in the region. should they come in defense of israel, as they have said, they would do so both sides taking they, these threats from iran, incredibly serious they what we all hearing from is riley intelligence, is that they are particularly looking particularly worried about targets in the south of the country around a lot on the border region there and as well in the north. over night we saw some

rocket fire and drones come in from his blood. they claimed responsibility for that . it was one of the biggest attacks we've seen in a while, though it is largely thought that that is a continuation of the tit for tat with thing, rather than some kind of escalation. when it comes to this a writing in front. though it could also be said in middletown, unless i have been, you know, potentially some, i think that that could also be trying to get a busy up the troops. and the result is that israel have in order for a round to be able to attack. so, you know, still a lot unclear and everybody really waiting with bated breath to see how this will play out to rebecca rivers there. and let's move now to some other world news, or united states judge has rejected hunter, biden's bid to dismiss the federal fire on the case against him. biden is accused of lying about his drug use on a form in 2018 to buy a gun. the son of the us president says the charges against him are politically motivated. one person has been killed and 7 others injured and
