Welcome to the update. Hello, I'm Eleanor Quirk. A drone attack near Dubai airport has come dangerously close to commercial aircraft. Passengers were hooded into tunnels at the terminal as flights were suspended when several blasts went off. Flights have since resumed with another two services carrying Australians arriving home later today. Iran has since apologized for the strikes and pledged to no longer target neighbouring countries. One nation has named its candidate to run for the seat left vacant by former opposition leader Susan Lee. Former international agribusiness CEO David Farley will run in May's bi-election for the seat of Farrah. He says he's honoured to have the chance to represent his community. It's going to give our electorate a particular which is so important to the nation of Australia
a chance to focus on what's good for Farrah is ultimately good for Australia. Australia's online safety efforts will reach a critical milestone tomorrow with the full introduction of age restricted material codes. The nine industry codes ensure device manufacturers, web science and online services have protections in place to prevent children being exposed to inappropriate content. A safety commissioner Julie Inman Grant says the codes cover a range of threats to children, including search engines, social media platforms, pornography websites, app stores, messaging services, gaming providers and generative AI systems. Sport and entertainment are next. To Sport and Brisbane captain Harris Andrews could be facing a lengthy ban after Bulldog Arthur Jones copped an elbow to the head in last night's clash. The doggies fought back to take the win over the running premieres 111-106. Coach Luke Beverage says he expects joins to be sidelined under concussion protocols. It's a tough kid. He's hard-boned. First Nations strongwill is pointy. So it must have been
a hard hit for him to be hurt. So hopefully he's going to be fine, but I'd imagine we might be seeing for a week. The Hawks went down to the Giants by 27 points and in the NRL wins for the Raiders and the Sharks. To entertainment, the entertainment world is mourning the death of Jamie Dunn who's died age 76. Dunn was best known for being the creator and voice of puppet aggro in the 90s. Footy fans at last night's AFL match in Sydney were treated to a celebrity sighting with Tom Hanks there to cheer on the Giants. Harry Omega and reported they planning to visit Australia next month and Lady Gaga has dropped a big hint that her wedding may be just around the corner. The pop superstar calling into Bruno Mars's radio show asking for a special tribute declaring she's tying the knot soon. Hi Bruno, me and my fiance have been traveling all year but we're getting married soon. We were hoping that maybe you could choose a special song for us. And that's the latest from the Nova podcast team we'll see you again soon for another
episode of The Updates.
