the astronomy, as most decorated living, the soldier has lost a landmark defamation case against newspapers, accusing him of war crimes. band robot smith ensued sweeney local papers, who are likely murdered prisoners and civilians. bonnie was serving in afghanistan and we're going to go to set a clock in sidney. this case has tons of exist really and this last it for a long time. what's been happening? what certainly has the legal process went for 5 years, or the actual coal hearing is waiting for a 110 days. and that did it so that much anticipated highly anticipated, but it has just been delivered in the little quotes behind me. now the, the key part of the case was all about defamation. this was been robot smith. he was taking these 3 newspapers, took the federal court accusing him of defamation for trying him false. people try him as a war criminal. now that case was dismissed by the justice he that was a judge here today by the city court. so the media here,

those reporters in particular, nick mckenzie and chris moss is revised those articles. they have tweeted, knows that this is justice for press freedom. it's also justice for the baby is job to on to take these public investigations into math as a public interest. so it's a loss, a mass of loss to bend robot space. and that particular case, he has been found to be involved in some of those unlawful killings. and that was during his deployment and the s i s a regiment in afghanistan between 20092012. if there's a number of obligations would be made against him, including as well uh, being accused allegations of domestic violence against a woman. and you have an affair within campbell that was dismissed. the judge did find that he was involved with bullying. all the members of his, it's regiments during that deployment in afghanistan. so a number of allegations that were made. the judge has disclosed the findings, but not the reasoning behind these funding simply because just after the verdict was deliberate, it was a quick verdict because it was not re things behind it. the commonwealth applied

for an application to have been withheld. they would have some time to go through these readings because they concerned they might be some national security risk involved in the verdict. but certainly the mind finding is the destination charles against those trainings pipe is the 5th ex press camera times a sydney morning herald, and the age has been dismissed. sarah, yet we should point out that this isn't a guilty validate is that the case has been dismissed. the judge would find that the news reports contained enough truth about what they had been saying, and if that distinction is important, nevertheless, there is going to be speculation about what ben robert smith is actually going to be able to do next. well, no doubt been robot smith. my will will take the pos of appealing. he's not here in australia at this hearing is actually in bali. but of course this was strange online we did have big mackenzie and christmas's the to jealous involved. they were present during this verdict, and as i mentioned, nick mackenzie tweeted justice and certainly the price will be saying is as

a major win for press freedom, the width of the pop band was smith types is on clear at this stage, but no doubt they'll be huge amounts of costs of legal costs, so damages being paid in this case. we haven't heard those as yet, but certainly the amounts of the costs we're hearing or above $20000000.00. he might be required to pay that now, shooting the ben robot smith took out a loan from his employer that being of the media baron to restart $2.00 lines, 7 with media, it took a learn from him to pursue this. and course it's been a very lengthy process, it's been a huge and costly a case and it's also going down in history, not just in the legal proceedings. it's certainly from a military perspective as well. so thank you very much indeed that sarah clark talking to us from sydney. small explosions have been reported in ukraine's capital . keith, as well as the area surrounding it, at least 3 people have been killed, including 2 children. keeps where it says that air defenses in the city

taking a tough us stand against north korea and countering the growing influence of china in the in the pacific, with more trial, actual meetings and military drills, plans on the cried, i'll just say era. so the right size of representative says possibilities suspend the nation's debt ceiling, which stands at $51.00 trillion dollars. president joe biden, praise what he's calling bipartisan compromise, so about a catastrophic default. the bill now goes to the senate for, for by the can sign it into law, and this is crucial without the bill. the country could run out of money. as soon as monday, official reports from washington dc, the bill is passed. the us government has been running on financial fumes for 5 months. it would have finally run out of money to pay the bills on june 5th. but the 1st step in stopping any debt default has passed the house after a contentious vote. i wanted to make history. i wanted to do something,

no other congress has done for the 1st time. quite some time we'd spend less than we spent a year before. a coffee negotiated a deal with us president joe biden to events a financial crisis. but some of his own party were and good the when deeper cuts the government spending and stronger efforts to cut the deficit that and go brought a new book from them and it was directed at the leader of their party in the house . i'm trying to figure out exactly what conservatives should be happy about. some democrats were upset to the cuts that had been agreed, but there was still enough of them to push through the bill. from the very beginning, house democrats were clear that we will not allow extreme mag of republicans to default on our debt crash. the economy would trigger a job killing recession or us. that default would create economic families,

which could spot a recession at home. unreal issues globally when expert says when the deal is agreed, the continuing problem of america's debt would go away in big drivers of debt. we're taken off the table at the beginning. well the cost social security. uh, the aid for the elderly, medicare health care for the elderly medicaid health care for the poor. none of those are touched, and those are the drivers of federal debt. the problem continues. this was the highest cargo, the bill to suspend the debt limit was late with the face getting through the republican controls house, know that it's done that it will go to the senate and then to the president's desk for signing probably on friday that both sides will claim victory for this, but the biggest fault is likely to be for kevin mccarthy, and you'll face calls from inside his own pocket to be replaced the speaker. but that is another capital hill drama for another date. island fisher. i'll just go to

washington of a $101.00 minus have been rescued off to underground shots collapse and got nearly $200.00 is said to be still trapped. but it's police many who were working illegally. i'm afraid they're going to be arrested if they're trying to leave. can explain a lot of replies more and isn't rolling on discrete. so for bossy. miners have been trapped under ground for more than a week without food or water. confrontations between locals and security forces are becoming more frequent and she has relatives want their loved ones returned home safely while i'm on my 3 brothers, i still trash and not among those who came out were still praying and waiting to see them alive. but many of those manage to get out what arrested lease accused them of mining illegally. it's unclear how many of those who remain

are trapped or whether they're hiding from the will 30 days. but i guess there is no a underground. and so we had to come close to the entrance so we could rerun this out . but when we came out, the secuity arrested us. we ran out of food and more testing, so we were drinking the chemically polluted. what time was it to be the stand off has told, longstanding grievances in the community, many resent companies like little go we, the owner of the mind. they say they've been exploited the don't. it's our land for now. anglo gold has taken all our land, so we have no space to farm, no space to bury or dead. the land is ours and we must survive. if they don't put together a policy to give us what we deserve. we will fight with our last blood. a little go with saves, it's a way over thoughts. imagine eagle minus may have been trapped in it's mine, but it says they are free to leave whenever they want. about 1000000 people are

employed in donna's mining industry. maybe operate legally, but who lives on the line relative save them must be compromised, and the mine is shouldn't be forced to choose between being dropped under ground or imprisoned on the surface. felix new r. o g a 0. still i hadn't noticed here. where there's a shortage of drinking. lots of people say that the water coming out to drink of problems by the drum countries in india kicks of compulsory testing for the export. it costs themselves. so they were linked to the depths of children's the

hello are these guys are trying to clear across the bad. so no, the pos of saudi arabia takes you. this band of cloudy now extending from the caspian right down to the southern end of the red sea. so it's still a challenge to say $1.00 to $2.00 showers in to the southwest corner. sadie a radio western pulse of human air in the quite breezy, mystic dust and sand temperatures with around 42 celsius. but to the north is that generally dry, hot and sunny sky spring, a shell has been in place across the care as we go through the next few days. hopefully, few showers as we go on into uh friday, but noticed the shelves a little more widespread across the western part of saudi as we go on into the weekend. meanwhile, one or 2 showers there across northern parts of algeria to this yes. still say some heavy right? we have a co say some sliding here. recently. heavy rain doing quite nicely. now, with seasonal rains across a good part of west africa. see already i'd see some big down pulls as we go

through wedges by american could call some a localized funding. tal system shows still just around the rest. finally, we'll see some wet weather over towards the academy, pushing up into west somalia, southwest the mostly in trying to engage here by the south. brightest guys close at eastern side of south africa. west they settled on sunday. the banks loved to make loans to some friends because behind the suffering millions of taxpayers. because those tax guys never go way. there's a new one bone every single day. i mentioned it is emerging national necessities in the country as an official request, and it would be a new patient of as important because it is important. we create it together because i happened to live in greece. somehow. i'm a center. i'm a bad person. that's machine on outages era, the the,

the worst go to 0 reminder of i told stories this mr. and is most definitely said living soldier than robert smith has lost a landmark defamation case against newspapers which accused him of war crimes. and of countless time, the judge says the papers approved for in some of the most serious allegations. more explosions have been reported in ukraine's capital chief following russian air strikes. at least 3 people have been killed, including 2 children. cities merits urged people to state shelters. the us house of representatives has passed a bill to suspend the nation's debt, seeming on the point a catastrophic default is still requires approval in the senate as well as the presidential secretary. united states is suspending military

exercises with cost of, of accusing it of escalating tensions with a set of minority ethnic stabs and northern costs of who have been protesting against ethnic albanian may as being elected in a vault that serves and boy content. on monday, the 13th nato peacekeeping soldiers were injured and violent protest. also, bags and reports was very strong in northern, comfortable the flag of sub yeah. so being chance, i'm not going to stick music, but this isn't set of yeah, it's northern, comfortable, and tensions remain outside local government buildings where ethnically opinion may is try to take office ethics up to make up the majority. here we come to the vote and have been protesting against them. channels for you. once again, we'd requested 2 days, guttering proceeds peacefully, as we are renowned for our peaceful nature. now i kindly ask these individual, those 2, i'm sorry, the most beautiful and cherished flag of our nation,

the serbian, slightly vast w. yeah, the last from the protests have not been peaceful. we witnessed a comfortable place vehicle being attacked, as well as the vehicles of gymnast to us and nature, have criticized comfortable for increasing tensions updates. police force day waiting to local government buildings. the us, as it does off the elected master, take office, an alternate buildings, and for the police to leave the vicinity. there are federal structures in the northern part of our country if i would now or that may have to leave that office into another office somewhere elsewhere, it would be as if i am engaging in creating sort of a petal structure to pedal structures, copying the a method i would join the legality. i cannot do that. russia is a close ally of neighboring serbia and is one of the countries that has never recognized the independence that cost of load declared in 2008. i'm my gm's age and

my we are keeping an eye on this lisa board, so it'd be on the surface unconditionally. we say all the legal rights and interests are the console, so it must be observed and must be confirmed. which tends to nato forces, the increasing very presence in northern comfortable and polish, and american troops of patrolling the streets around the local government buildings eviction. western powers have criticized comfortable as actions on pressure, employment, and zip code the growing but he faces a dilemma in trying to diffuse tensions. christine is keen to emphasize these northern areas, a part of comfortable and not an extension of serbia, even if ethnic says here, feel, say an act. otherwise, i said vague. i'll just say to the veteran custom of saddam's army sizes calling off talks with the pot of military rapids support forces. the 2 sides of agreed to a 5 day cease. 5 extension during talks and monday, but it was violated. a day later, negotiations have been ongoing inside year, maybe as jetta for humanitarian access, the breakdown in negotiations is raising fears of an escalation and fighting is

already displacing the sizes of people. right here, refugees living in overcrowded camps in bangladesh already don't have enough food and it's likely to get worse. the un food agency says it doesn't have the money to pay for supplies. starting thursday, food rations will be reduced to $8.00 per person. the un says it needs at $56000000.00 of bangladesh governments hosting more than a 1000000 right here, refugees. and it says the international community isn't doing enough to have time for your child who is joining us not from cox's bizarre. so people are already living in difficult conditions. now the un says will be even less food to go around . tons here a yes, very much. so i'm in the just of this much they had that's the 1st kind of ration from $12.00 or $10.00. and now from today it's gonna be a dollar that's $0.09 per mail. us $0.09 per our mail. already paperless,

at least 45 percent of the growing population. we're not getting adequate uh ration in defense of not enough food. and 12 percent of the children have been taught essentially, uh, but i think, grossly malnourished. so this food situation has been a struggle and not with this rational kind of, it's going to be a major concern for not only the don't hang out community, but for the aid agencies because they are and shots fall of money. the have to send that need at least 56000000 dollar this year. just to go back to the original status, go the joint response teams also for overall uh, finance. bothering got come into the also needs money with that you can try so. so that in case of the attention has not been much. andrea. hank h is yeah, it's been 6 years and people are getting frustrated. yeah, the us remains and band with us government room is one of the major dollar for the food directions. yes. so international community doing needs to

a stand up to its commitment and provide the necessary funding are there for this paper to get along because it's still on such community when they will be a patry at the sound of your child talking to us from cox's busy time of year, thank you. or compulsory testing of and is exported. cost med soon comes into effect on june. the 1st, the new rules are meant to restore consumer confidence in the so called pharmacy of the world child this and the guy behind his breakfast on last year were linked to contaminated costs setup from large genetic drug makers. samples. roberts got more for dozens of children, a cost cost them their lives, to blame contaminated batches of some generic medicines made in india. the incidents prompted health warnings from the united nations and swift action from authorities. all cost medicine now needs to clear government testing before it is sold abroad, because that's not gonna be got nothing for obvious use incidents have gained an

image of india's manufacturer is what this government rules for additional test will strengthen our quality control systems and help our business grow, it will help in improving our image and also increase the amount of indian products then putting lives before profits has become essential to healing a battered reputation. but some in the pharmaceutical industry say the government's decision is in nature, reaction by the government. go deep, it's an logical decision taken by the authorities. they want ease of doing business, but at the same time they are creating these hurdles. you manufacture the product, you test it and then you send it to the government. lot protesting they take $15.00 to $20.00 days and that will delay the shipment on the 17th of india produces a large quantity of affordable, generic drugs every year. most are exported to low income countries. annual sales

of costs are up below are around $17000000000.00. out of a $41000000000.00 industry. in recent years, manufacturing practices of many companies have come under scrutiny. due to poor quality control. what have most of the domestic costs up? because this is, this notification applies will need to ex, for the, you know, hosted up with be exported. but the news consumer, a lot of the costs are up and debbie cases in india where children have died because of futile o d. g poisoning because the cost setup is conducted on the government has taken up to 3 or no steps and this recall. so it just basically shows that the government does not receive us. this is monica beyond move to let its export. bach knows, you know, that it's doing something. industry observers say other medicines have also caused tragedies in india and around the world. and the government needs to overhaul the regulatory process for all trucks. the new rules that apply only to cost are little

more than a bad same bus radi. i'll just historic drugs and go to why has dried out the reservoirs that provide water over the countries capital, montevideo, low rainfall and high temperatures across the southern region of south america. i've also had trumps in neighboring argentina, visible reports from montevideo. this group has been getting together for more than a year to cook for those in need of providing food. he's not the main concern these days. it's drinking water. alexis alonzo says the water coming from the top is in drinkable because it has too much sodium. the c number, we used to cook with tap water and now we can't because it's too salty. so we change how we cook and use bottled water. it's a concern because too much salt is not healthy and everyone is worried in the world . the result, because low we serve as a fresh will to force the probably wall to accompany to mix supplies with water

from the river plate. the result, low levels of sodium until right? even though your y seats some logical to research, the deficit is the worst seen over 70 years. the river that provides most of the drinking water in the capital of 1600000 people has been severely affected by the drought. this is the bustle survey. do you know that it is just one of the water sources that feeds your wife's capital? it won't be reveal. it has a capacity for 67000000 cubic meters of water. but right now it has only 4000000. it was just one example of how serious the situation is right now. the government has been distributing drinking water to hospitals, schools, and other buildings in the capital that are in desperate need. experts say the region needs to be better prepared to adapt to the impact of climate change. climate change is in reality and we know that we will have to adapt to extreme

weather changes. and we will see this again, and that's why we need to be prepared to do more research, take care of our water sources that are abundant. you won't be deal. people are trying to adapt to the lack of water, but not everyone is happy. and i was admitted to manual, which is the human rights, and we are on the reserves of the quarter on the aquifer. and we have no water. politicians need to give us an explanation and give us solutions. it's not only the draft that is affecting us people here know that kathy does. recivore has only a few days left to for to that's why everyone is hoping it will rain soon. katy said, we'll just see that one the the you are why the this is all just say that these are the top stories. there certainly is most definitely to.
