to you. one of australia's highest profile tv hosts has presented his final show, after receiving what's described as "relentless" racist abuse. stan grant was a host on abc australia — presenting the popular political panel show 0 and a. but on friday he announced he was leaving. he said racist abuse he regularly received had escalated after his involvement in coverage of the king's coronation, where he spoke about the impact of colonisation on indiginous peoples. after a backlash to his comments, stan grant said no one at the abc came to support him. the broadcaster director said... and staff around australia demonstrated against stan gra nt�*s treatment.
2:51 pm
here's his signing off from his show on monday night. i'm not walking away for a while because of racism. we get that far too often. �* ., ., ,, ., too often. i'm not walking away because of— too often. i'm not walking away because of social _ too often. i'm not walking away because of social media - too often. i'm not walking away| because of social media hatred, too often. i'm not walking away i because of social media hatred, i need a break from the media. because of social media hatred, i need a breakfrom the media. i because of social media hatred, i need a break from the media. i feel like i am part of the problem. i need to ask myself how or if we can do it better. to my people, i have always wanted to represent you with pride. i know i might disappoint you sometimes but in my own way, i havejust i might disappoint you sometimes but in my own way, i have just wanted to make a scene. and i am sorry that i can't do that for a little while. to my family, i love you. enter my mum and dad... good night. bridget brennan is the abc's indigenous affairs editor and says
2:52 pm
it's hard to hear stan grant's sign off. stan's a friend of mine who's been a mentor to me for many years. so i get quite emotional hearing him like that because stan is one of the most incredible people you'll ever meet in terms of his outlook on the world. he's been a reporter all over the world. he's been a figurehead and an a leader in our industry in australia. to see him like that, to see, hear him, his voice breaking and hear the pain that he's gone through is a lot for someone who's incredibly resilient. this is someone who's worked in war zones, has covered his people for four decades and is an incredibly resilient individual. so i think what he's getting at is actually talking about the tenor and the tone of our debate sometimes in our media in australia. but i'm sure, you know, i'm sure it applies here in the uk and other parts of the world that we need to start to respect one another and listen with integrity and listen with respect to one another�*s points
2:53 pm
of view. and stan has done so much for our people, for my aboriginal people in australia in actually putting our perspectives and our history on the public stage. and so it's just... it'sjust an awful tragedy and a shame that he's had to take this leave because of what's what he's suffered. and so... so what needs to change then? you mentioned tone. is this about the broader media landscape across australia not being representative or outwardly showing racist views? what is the problem? gosh, i think we need a few hours to talk about all the problems we have in terms of the way that we've treated aboriginal and torres strait islander people and indeed indigenous peoples around the world. and of course that flows into audience comments. i mean, there's still a lot of racism in everyday society. and so is that as an indigenous journalist, when you're putting yourself out there, the abuse that
2:54 pm
you suffered, that i've suffered and my colleagues have suffered over many years, is...is really i mean, you know, in some ways we just were used to it. and...and it's become a workplace issue because you shouldn't have to go to your work, your place of work and suffer abuse like stan has every time you put out a story. so there needs to be a lot more done in terms of diversity at an executive level. that's something that abc is working on now. i'm part of an indigenous news team, which is really something that me and my colleagues have worked on for some time. but there needs to be an understanding, i think, of what it's like to actually suffer that at your workplace. well...well, ijust want to i want to be transparent. you work for the abc, and i'm going to ask you now about the abc senior management response. so just to be transparent of a kind of interest there, but what do you make of it? oh, look, i think i think our
2:55 pm
executives are being really honest about this. in my dealings with them, they're listening. they're listening. and i think they've acknowledged rightfully that they didn't get it right this time. you know, that stan needed support earlier. we've heard that overnight in our senate estimates process. lewis from our managing director, david anderson, and our news director, justin stevens. they both said that this could have been handled differently. and i think it's a real learning moment for us and i hope other organizations around the world. i mean, i know indigenous journalists from around the world, lewis, are watching on at this and nodding their heads. this is notjust happening in australia and it's not just happening to indigenous people, there's people of colour in newsrooms and workplaces all over the world. and i hope it's a moment of reflection for a lot of different organizations. india and australia have announced a new migration deal in a bid to strengthen their economic cooperation. the announcement comes after this meeting between indian prime minister narendra modi and his counterpart anthony albanese in sydney today. the deal aims to help students, graduates and business people move between the two countries.

that's it from me. matthew is coming up that's it from me. matthew is coming up next before the moment this is news. goodbye. hello there. maybe you've seen a really nice sunset or sunrise over the last 24 hours, like this one from warwickshire. now, a lot of the cloud you can see here is actually aeroplane contrails. yes, the water that aeroplane engines check out, the back of the engines can make these contrails. and when there's a lot of moisture in the atmosphere seven miles up where the planes fly, those contrails can persist and last for a long time, giving those beautiful sunrise and sunset pictures. now, those contrails are starting to move away towards france and the air is getting drier seven miles up in the atmosphere. and so you're less likely to see those contrails hang around quite so long today. and weatherwise this afternoon,
2:57 pm
for most of us, a lot of sunshine. there's a bit more cloud on this very weak weather front. for west scotland, northern ireland, you might see the odd a bit of rain, but for the vast majority it's a dry and fine afternoon with long spells of sunshine. feeling warm in that strong may sun. temperatures high teens to low twenties. now, overnight tonight, a few patches of cloud drifting southwards, but for many we'll keep the clear skies. temperatures very similar to recent nights, 7 to 9 degrees your overnight low. bit colder than that across parts of northern scotland in shelter. then we've got more of the same over the next few days. high pressure stays with us. the winds coming around that in a clockwise sense. so the winds coming off the atlantic and that means temperatures aren't really going to change that much. thursday, another fine day then. 0k, there could be a little bit more in the way of fine cloud across central and eastern areas of england, but not really spoiling things much at all. and the same is true perhaps for northern ireland. temperatures high teens to low 20s, probably peaking at about 23 degrees for south and east wales, the south west midlands, south west england. butjust a reminder, how does that compare compared with recent warm spells in may? well, it puts us pretty
2:58 pm
much bottom of the pile. 0ften our warm spells at this time of year result in temperatures into the mid to high 20s. so it's not that warm, really. 0n into friday's forecast, another dry day, perhaps a bit more cloud just running into the far north of scotland. could see an odd bit of rain from that, but again, not very much at all. for most, it's dry, temperatures again reaching the low twenties in the warmest spots. now heading into the bank holiday weekend, that high pressure continues to dominate the weather picture so it stays dry for most. i think there'll be a tendency for temperatures to rise a bit further. so more of us seeing temperatures getting into those low twenties. feeling warm in the may sun.
