  • This is Ira Glass.

  • On This American Life, we tell stories about when things change.

  • Like for this guy, David, his entire life took a sharp, unexpected, and very unpleasant turn.

  • And it did take me a while to realize that it's basically because the monkey pressed the button.

  • That's right, because the monkey pressed the button.

  • Surprising stories every week wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder in Australia today.

  • Good evening and thank you for being here.

  • Please rise as we light the memorial candle followed by observing a minute of silence.

  • Minister Anthony Albanese speaking on Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach where a week ago today two government targeted a Jewish festival.

  • The thousands who gathered held a minute of silence to remember the 15 people who were killed.

  • Earlier Albanese announced a review of national law enforcement enforcement and intelligence agencies,

  • the BBC's Phil Mercer.

  • The ultimate aim isn't necessarily political survival.

  • It will be making Australia safer.

  • And I think at these times, times of crisis, the Prime Minister being booed tonight,

  • the Prime Ministers get booed at the cricket here in Australia.

  • So it is a bit of a national sport to have a go at the Prime Minister.

  • But tonight is extremely significant because Mr Albanese is here.

  • And I think in times of crisis, Australians want leaders to do one thing, lead.
