0:00Hello, David Rollins wrapping up some of the latest news from near and far. U.S. President Donald Trump says a whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again, as the deadline for the reopening of the Strait of Hamul's near. In his post on social media, Trump added that he didn't want it to happen, but that it probably would. Meanwhile, Vice President J.D. Vance says he's still confident that the U.S. will get a response from Iran by the deadline, which is set for 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning, Australian Eastern Standard Time. The UK government has blocked American rapper Kanye West from entering Britain. On grounds that his presence would not be conducive to the public good, it follows mounting criticism over his booking as a headline act at the Wireless Music Festival in London. West, now known as Yay, has been criticised in the past for antisemitic remarks and celebrating Nazism, which have led on several occasions to his social media accounts being suspended.

1:00And police have officially charged Ben Robert Smith with five counts of war crime-related murder. It comes after the former soldier was arrested at Sydney Airport on Tuesday. The charges carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. Mr. Robert Smith has been refused by all and is expected to make his first court appearance in the morning. Brings up dates with a sample of the latest IBC news.
