Listen now wherever you get your BBC podcasts. This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. I'm Paul Moss, and at 4.30 GMT on Monday 15th December, these are our main stories. Australia's Prime Minister has promised to crack down on anti-Semitism after Sunday's deadly attack on a Jewish festival in Sydney. Chile's new far-right President-elect, José Antonio Cast, has promised to restore respect for the law after winning Sunday's run-off. And one of Hong Kong's leading pro-democracy activists, Jimmy Lai, has been convicted after a high-profile trial. Also in this podcast, the US envoy on the Russia-Ukraine conflict says there's been progress during talks in Berlin with President Zelensky.
And... It is thrilling to be alive. It's great. Life is to be lived as long as you possibly can, it seems to me. The British actress Helen Mirren talks about life in Italy and saving olive trees at the age of 80. Condemnation continues to mount in the wake of the Bondi Beach shooting in Australia. Politicians around the world perhaps struggling to find adjectives to describe the cold-blooded murder of 15 people, which police say was carried out by a father and his son. Pure evil was what the Prime Minister, Antonio Albanese, called it. The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, called it horrific. But others suggested the killings were all too predictable because anti-Semitism, they said, had gone unchecked.
That subject of anti-Semitism was addressed by, among others, the New South Wales Premier, Chris Minns.
There is no tolerance for racism or Jewish hatred in New South Wales or Australia and we need to be clear and unambiguous that we will fight it everywhere we see it. It is toxic. It is cancerous within a community. And as you can see from last night, it leads to devastating, devastating implications for the people of our country.
It's two years since Australian police launched what they called Operation Shelter. That explicitly aimed to deal with issues of public safety in the country, which might be sparked by the conflict in Gaza. Speaking on Sunday, the New South Wales Police Commissioner, Mal Lanyon, said Operation Shelter would now be stepped up. We will make sure that we are highly visible at places of worship, places that are known to be frequented by the Jewish community, but very much in those suburbs where we know that we have a large Jewish population. But for some, this is all too late. Among those who've already assigned blame for the shooting is the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. He said he'd written to his Australian counterpart in August, telling Anthony Albanese that recognising a Palestinian state would encourage anti-Semitism.
He claimed the Bondi Beach shooting was a consequence of that decision. And there were similar sentiments expressed by Levi Wolfe, rabbi of the Central Synagogue in Sydney. He too seemed to complain that the government had been too tolerant of prejudice.
Inevitably, when anti-Semitism goes unchecked, these are things that happen.
