TRANSCRIPT: A child killed by a falling tree in the Northern Territory; The death toll rises from a boat capsizing in Vietnam's world renowned Halong Bay; A team fined in the Tour de France after their support car hit a spectator. A child has died after being struck by a tree in the Northern Territory. The Territory's Police force says the seven year old girl was playing in the yard of a house in Tiwi before being struck by a falling palm tree. They say an 11-year-old boy was also hit by the tree, but sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Tasmanian Labor leader Dean Winter says he's begun discussions about possible powersharing arrangements, after Saturday's election. Neither major party has won enough seats in the lower house to rule as a majority government, but the Liberal Party has so far secured 14 to the ALP's nine. Liberal Premier Jeremy Rockliff says he will be asking the governor to recommission his government on the basis that there's been a roughly three per cent swing to the Liberals. But Mr Winter has refused to officially concede, saying he is keeping his options open. "At this stage, we've had - we've opened the line of discussion with the crossbench. And we will make sure that they understand where we stand... Look, in order for Labor to form government we would need to supply and confidence from members of the crossbench." A man is being charged with assault after a car ramming incident outside a nightclub in Los Angeles that's injured around 30 people - including the driver himself. At least three people are understood to be in a critical condition after the 29 year old suspect allegedly drove his car onto the footpath outside the Vermont Hollywood Club on Santa Monica Avenue, just eight minutes after he had been thrown out of the venue. Los Angeles police say members of the crowd quickly attacked the man after the incident - which investigators already believe was intentional. Captain Adam van Gerpen of the Los Angeles Fire Department says that the driver was also shot by a bystander. "As part of our triage when the paramedics were loading up one of the patients that was considered immediate, on their secondary inspection of him, they did find that there was a gunshot wound." Three more bodies have been found after a tourist boat capsized in northern Vietnam's famous Halong Bay, raising the death toll to at least 38. The Department of National Defence Search and Rescue says the trio were crew members. The boat, carrying 48 tourists and five crew members, capsized as Storm Wipha approached the country across the South China Sea. Storm Wipha is the third typhoon to hit the region this year, and is projected to make landfall along Vietnam's northern coast early next week. Authorities say contact tracing is underway for hospital staff who may have been exposed to a man admitted with a rare strain of mpox. The patient was diagnosed with the Clade 1 mpox variant after he presented to Logan Hospital, south of Brisbane following his return from a trip to Africa. Queensland Health Minister Tim Nicholls says the patient was not contagious during his journey to Australia. But he says officials believe a limited number in the community and hospital may have been exposed. "Those close contacts that he has been in contact - including at the emergency ward and in other locations - are being contact traced right now and identified. Right now we think there are 19 community contacts and 40 hospital contacts that have been in contact with the patient." The Ineos-Grenadiers team has been fined after one of its team cars hit a spectator on stage 14 of the Tour de France. The penalty of just under $10,000 against the team's sports director Oliver Cookson has also come with a yellow card, which can result in a suspension if they're accumulated over a defined period of time. TV footage shows the team car knocking down the fan, who was holding what looked like a mobile phone, close to the top of the Col de Peyresourde, as it followed riders on the steep ascent. It's not known what the current condition of the spectator is. Australian welterweight boxer Tim Tszyu has lost his much-hyped rematch to American Sebastian Fundora in Las Vegas. The loss is the 30-year-old's third from his past four bouts, after going unbeaten for his first 24 professional fights. After a tough start against Fundora, Tszyu looked to be getting back into the fight, but stayed on his stool when the bell rang for the eighth round and opted not to continue. "I tried to give it everything but I couldn't do it and the victory belongs to Sebastian Fundora. The best in this weight division ((154 pounder)) on the planet right now. He was just the better man. You know he's a better man. He's very hard to land and sometimes I feel like I was shadow boxing with myself. But it is what it is. Congratulations to Fundora and his team."

Tasmania election: Labor's hopes of governing still alive despite Liberals' five-seat lead
Tasmania's Labor leader has reached out to independents in the hope of forming government, despite his party losing ground and trailing the Liberals seat-wise. Saturday's snap poll, 16 months after the last, returned another hung parliament with the Liberals so far securing 14 seats and Labor nine, as counting continues. Both will be short of the 18 seats required for majority, with Liberal Premier Jeremy Rockliff declaring victory on election night and saying he would try to form a minority government. Labor under Dean Winter had a 3 per cent swing against it and the party's worst primary vote in Tasmania in more than a century. However, Winter hasn't ruled out trying to form government if the Liberals are unable to get a left-leaning independent crossbench onside. Premier Jeremy Rockliff says he will ask the governor to recommission his Liberal government. Source: AAP / Chris Kidd "I've spoken to a number of members of the crossbench and offered Labor will try and work differently and collaboratively," he said on Saturday. "I won't go into the details of any of the conversations but we'll treat people with respect. "I think that's what the crossbench is looking for and it's also what Tasmanians are looking for." However, Winter reiterated he would not "do a deal" with the Greens — Labor would need support from the party, which hold five seats — to govern. Winter said he would not compromise on Labor policy, including support for a $945 million stadium which is opposed by the Greens and three crossbench independents. One of those independents, a re-elected Kristie Johnston, says she won't enter into a formal deal for confidence and supply with either major party and will provide support on merit. Independent Kristie Johnston says she will not enter into a formal deal with the Liberals or Labor. Source: AAP / Chris Kidd "They need to negotiate and respect the views of parliament," she told AAP. It could take weeks for the final outcome in four remaining undecided seats, meaning formal minority agreements may take even longer. Rockliff would need to work with independents to govern, including two, Johnston and the re-elected Craig Garland, who voted for a no-confidence motion against him. The June vote, which triggered the election, lashed ballooning debt under the Liberals and bungled Bass Strait ferry delivery. Greens leader Rosalie Woodruff has kept the door ajar for a Labor alliance, calling on Winter to "have a conversation". The project is supported by the Liberals and Labor but opposed by the Greens, Garland, Johnston and the third elected independent Peter George. The new parliament will be very similar to the previous one that included 14 Liberals, 10 Labor, five Greens, five independents and one Jacqui Lambie Network member.

Pro-Palestine protester chant ‘death to the IDF' outside Parliament House
Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters have swarmed the lawns of Parliament House chanting anti-Israel slogans. 'Death, death to the IDF,' the crowd shouted, referring to the Israel Defense Forces. It came just weeks after British rap duo Bob Vylan used it during live-broadcast music festival in the UK, drawing condemnation and prompting the US to cancel their visas for an upcoming tour. The IDF have been engaged in a casualty-heavy war with Palestinian militant group Hamas for since its October 7 terrorist attack. The Israeli action has all-but decapitated Hamas' leadership but come at the cost of tens of thousands of civilian lives, many of which were children. 'We don't want no two states, we want all of '48,' the protesters also chanted as a man with a red-painted face waved a large Palestinian flag above a cluster of rally-goers. The chant references a time before the state of Israel existed. It is part of a narrative that seeks to frame the Israelis as colonisers, despite the Jewish people living there for some 3000 years. 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,' was another crowd favourite. This chant, common at demonstrations across the world. Australian Federal Police stood guard on the Parliament House forecourt, watching eagle-eyed as the mob, donning Keffiyehs, waved placards accusing Israel of genocide and Palestinian flags. After a series of speeches, the protesters marched to the Israeli embassy.
