and then we had a gun air show and these are obviously a shocking and disturbing accounts what we're hearing there, what kind of a public reaction have we heard to this incident in australia which will amongst the public. i mean is there's just been a lot of shellcare because this is not something that we would expect to happen here in australia. i know you recently played a early a play to sound but from australian prime minister anthony alban easy. who said that he, he signed the 1st responders in place for their bravery. but he also said that the that his thoughts with the, with the victims and absolutely can to condemn this horrific act of violence. i also do have to mention that to as the,

the emergency teams defended on the shopping center gunshots with hood and police confirmed and not really a press conference that's the ledge defend was facially shops. thank you so much for bringing us up to speed there. that is a journalist, rachelle harrison plus and sidney. many thanks for your time. and we can bring up to speed now with some other world news headlines. and us and judge has projected hunter biden's bid to dismiss a federal firearm case against him. by the end is accused of lying about his drug gifts 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 in a cable car accident in turkey. the cabin had a pylon and burst open and causing passengers to plunge to the mountain side. below . 2 children are among the injured, near the city of until you to and us president joe biden says he expects iran to

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 most iran and israel, as you've just reported their president by and both sides taking this face threats 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, well we all hearing from is riley intelligence, is that they are particularly looking particularly worried about a targets in the south of the country around a lot on the border region there. and as well in the north of a night, we saw some rocket fire and drones come in from his bluff. they claimed responsibility for that. it was one of the biggest attacks we've seen in a while, though it is largely felt that that is a continuation of the tit for tat with thing rather than some kind of escalation. when it comes to this a right 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 results as the 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 are here in germany. the parliament has passed a new law,
