  • So Paddy,

  • this has been one of those mornings where a dark event suddenly emerges and will dominate the news,

  • probably for the rest of today, probably for the rest of tomorrow.

  • And it was one of those days we were about to go on air.

  • We started getting reports in of a multiple shooting on Bondi Beach in Australia,

  • one of those famous places in the world.

  • By complete coincidence, one of our guests was Leila Cunningham, who's a reform politician.

  • We told her what was happening.

  • She then said her nephew lived there.

  • she got him on the phone and he told her and she then told us live on air.

  • Within a few minutes there was an active situation, there were shots ringing out,

  • he was a doctor who was on his way from a neighbouring beach 10 minutes away to go to try to help and

  • since then some of the videos,

  • some of the eyewitnesses accounts that have been coming out are absolutely horrific.

  • As we talk at 10 to 11 on Sunday morning a lot of things are still evolving and we don't have the full story.

  • but it very much appears as if this was an attack on a Jewish holiday, a Hanukkah event.

  • Yes,

  • it was a pre-advertised Hanukkah event for people of all ages to have entertainment and activities.

  • president has said this is an attack on Jews and the Australian Prime Minister has said his thoughts are with those who died but people listening to our podcast in the future will know more than we do at the moment but to clarify what we do know is there's been a terror attack on Bondi Beach targeting a Hanukkah festival and at the moment the world's reacting and learning more so we start with our podcast by saying that's the news and our feeling.

  • are with all those who are affected but that will be uncovering developing throughout the day.
