Early morning track inspection to decide Warwick Farm's fate
A 6am track inspection on race morning will determine if Wednesday's Warwick Farm meeting goes ahead as a 'cyclone-like' storm continues to lash the New South Wales coast. Tuesday's meeting at Newcastle's Beaumont track was forced to be abandoned while Rosehill Gardens trials were moved to Friday on a wet and windy day on the east coast. Warwick Farm is due to hold a seven-race card with the Western Sydney track rated a Heavy 9 on Tuesday afternoon. The track had received 25.8mm of rain in the 24 hours leading up to 3pm on Tuesday. As much as 25mm has been forecast by the Bureau Of Meteorology in the Liverpool area on Wednesday. The Warwick Farm card is due to begin at 12.50pm with the running of the Captivant @ Kia Ora Plate.

Welcome to SBS News in Easy English, I'm Camille Bianchi. Hundreds of emergency services crews are waiting to help as a major storm hits New South Wales today. The Bureau of Meteorology says the worst impacts will be felt tomorrow, from Coffs Harbour to Bega. Senior meteorologist, Helen Reid, says the heavy rainfall has already started. "Through Monday evening and overnight into Tuesday morning, there were widespread falls of 30 to 50 millimeters, with several locations recording 70 millimeters. In the 21 hours to 6am on Tuesday morning, the highest totals observed include Jervis Bay with 98 millimetres, Currarong with 83 millimeters, Meldrum with 76 millimeters, and Bulahdelah with 70 millimeters." Authorities and medical workers in Gaza say Israeli attacks have killed at least 72 people in the last 24 hours. Doctors say at least 11 of those people have been killed in southern Gaza while looking for food. Israeli politician Ron Dermer is meeting with American officials today, to talk about a ceasefire. White House media spokeperson Karoline Leavitt says US President Donald Trump has been speaking with Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. "It is because of this president that humanitarian aid is being brought into the region. It's heartbreaking to see the images that have come out from both Israel and Gaza throughout this war. And the president wants to see it end. He wants to save lives. And however, the main priority for the president also remains to bring all of the hostages home out of Gaza. As you know, his tireless effort has brought home many of the hostages, including all of the American hostages who were held there. So he wants to see both things happen. And we're continuing to work very hard to do those things." Across Australia, from today there are new road rules and safety measures, including cameras to catch drivers using mobile phones. Some new rules include New South Wales drivers having higher penalties for not wearing a seatbelt and Queensland fines increasing by 3.5 per cent. Victoria-based driving instructor Chamitha Lokuwithana tells SBS the new rules will save lives. "The reason behind all these changes are we have seen that the number of road accidents in Australia is increasing year by year. Some of the key reasons identify such as using mobile phone while driving or speeding, not wearing seat belts. The government is introducing technological solutions like A-I cameras increased fines and reduce speed limits." In tennis, Aryna Sabalenka has moved to the second round of Wimbledon, after beating Carson Branstine. The result brings her a step closer to her goal of a first Wimbledon tournament win. "Well, I think the goal is to win as quickly, as easier as possible, so physically you're more fresh in the next rounds. But I think it was really good for me to have this little fight in the second set just to, like, see where my level is at, if I'm mentally ready to fight. I think I'm ready. So I think at the end it was good to have this little fight in the second set." That's the latest SBS News in Easy English.
