Seven has faced intense scrutiny over its exclusive with Mr Lehrmann but says it “acted appropriately at all times”.”Seven is appalled by the allegations made in recent days. We do not condone the behaviours described in these allegations. They do not reflect the culture of Seven,” a spokesperson said on Thursday.The accusations have prompted a last-minute resumption of Mr Lehrmann’s defamation case – likened to a quasi-criminal trial – just two days before the judgement was set to be delivered.”Let sunlight be the best disinfectant,” Justice Michael Lee said when reopening the defamation case.The rape allegationIn February 2021, Brittany Higgins shocked Australia when she alleged she was raped by a colleague inside a minister’s office in Canberra in 2019.Her claims triggered marches attended by tens of thousands of women across the country, decrying the treatment of women in politics.Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Brittany Higgins speaking at a March 4 Justice rally in CanberraThough he was not named in the report by journalist Lisa Wilkinson for Network 10 programme The Project, Mr Lehrmann says he was easily identifiable.Six months later, he was charged by police over the alleged rape. But his trial in 2022 was aborted after juror misconduct. A retrial was later abandoned out of concerns for Ms Higgins’ mental health. Mr Lehrmann had pleaded not guilty to the charges. Seven’s Spotlight programme then began chasing Mr Lehrmann, who was unable to give evidence at his criminal trial, for his side of the story.In the two-part exclusive with the network he said he had no idea how Ms Higgins had ended up naked on a couch in the office they worked in, and spoke about the dire impact of the case on his life. The programme was later named as a finalist in Australia’s top media awards in the Scoop of the Year category.But before his interview had even aired, Mr Lehrmann launched a defamation lawsuit against Network 10 and Ms Wilkinson, saying the alleged assault never happened and that they “utterly destroyed” his reputation.Network 10, with Ms Higgins as a witness, said it would defend its report as substantially true.The defamation trialDefamation cases in Australia have a lower standard of proof than criminal cases and judges often allow reams of seemingly tangential evidence to help them make judgements on the credibility or character of witnesses.Over five weeks, this trial heard from more than a dozen witnesses who built on evidence given at the criminal one.Mr Lehrmann took to the witness box this time and Ms Higgins spent several days giving evidence herself. It also heard analysis from a lip reader flown in from the UK, hours of Ms Wilkinson and her Network 10 colleagues enthusiastically defending their work, and evidence from Mr Lehrmann’s ex-colleagues who told the court of his “bad vibes”.Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Network 10 journalist Lisa Wilkinson conducted the first interview with Ms HigginsBut one of the biggest bombshells from the evidence concerned Network Seven.At the time of its Mr Lehrmann interview, the network said it had “made no payment” to him but had “assisted with accommodation as part of the filming of the story”.But in court, Mr Lehrmann revealed that Seven had agreed to pay his rent for a year, costing the network more than A$100,000 (£52,000; $66,000).As Seven drew ire and accusations of dishonesty, the Walkley Awards promptly revoked the story’s nomination.Ms Higgins has also accused Mr Lehrmann of leaking her private texts – which she supplied during the police investigation – but he has denied handing any documents to Spotlight. The fresh evidenceThe first rumblings that Seven had paid Mr Lehrmann more than it had disclosed came weeks ago, amid a completely separate controversy.Messages that were leaked to the media allegedly showed that a Spotlight producer who was courting Mr Lehrmann for the interview had used a Seven credit card to pay for expensive Thai massages late at night.Mr Lehrmann dismissed the allegation he had a massage as a “bizarre story from a disgruntled ex-Network Seven producer”.But the producer – Taylor Auerbach – provided more than 2,800 pages of sworn affidavits for Network 10 to use in court in defending Mr Lehrmann’s defamation claim. In these documents, he alleged that Mr Lehrmann was the liar.In a special hearing convened to test the allegations on Thursday, Mr Auerbach said he charged about A$10,000 in massages to the company card after an evening with Mr Lehrmann – before personally paying his employer back later. But he alleged that Seven had footed the bill for several expensive dinners with Mr Lehrmann, and a golfing trip in Tasmania.Most explosively, Mr Auerbach said in court it had also reimbursed Mr Lehrmann for other expenses – including illicit drugs, “prostitutes” and a brothel visit – via a “per diem” allowance.It is unclear whether Mr Auerbach alleges Seven was aware of the nature of the charges he says it was reimbursing.Mr Auerbach also rejected Mr Lehrmann’s assertions that he had not provided Spotlight with sensitive information such as Ms Higgins’ text message history or confidential police documents. In criminal trials, prosecutors have to share their evidence with the accused but the defence has an obligation not to use it outside of court.But Mr Auerbach claims Mr Lehrmann turned up to Seven’s offices with a massive binder of documents and photocopied more than 500 pages of evidence for the Spotlight episode. Citing as proof that documents were exchanged, Mr Auerbach provided images taken of a laptop screen showing some of Ms Higgins’ texts. In the reflection of the laptop screen, there appears to be a bald man with thick black glasses – which Mr Auerbach says is Mark Llewellyn, Spotlight’s executive producer. The metadata of the photo shows it was taken at Mr Lehrmann’s accommodation at the time, Mr Auerbach claimed.Image source, Federal Court of AustraliaImage caption, One of the images that Mr Auerbach says proves Seven was given documentsSeven has said it will not reveal the source of the sensitive evidence it aired in its report, but noted that Mr Lehrmann had denied under oath it was him.A Seven spokesperson said Mr Lehrman had never been reimbursed money allegedly used to pay for illegal drugs or prostitutes, and that the network had “at no point” asked anyone to delete or destroy any evidence.Lawyers for Mr Lehrmann also told the court he had not received “per diems” from Seven for the expenses Mr Auerbach alleged, and that he had not provided the programme with documents.They played – in slow motion – a bizarre video of Mr Auerbach destroying a colleague’s golf clubs, and argued that he had an axe to grind with Seven after his employment was not renewed in 2023.”You are here today to do as much damage to your former employer and former colleagues as you possibly can… and you’re prepared to lie in that endeavour,” barrister Matthew Richardson said.”No, sir,” Mr Auerbach replied.The falloutThe defamation trial is still going, but Mr Auerbach’s evidence is already being used to attack Mr Lehrmann’s credibility as a witness. Plus, Network 10 has argued it shows both a contempt of court and an abuse of its processes – requesting the judge consider prosecuting him for that.But it also has big implications for Seven, which was already under fire for its conduct in securing the interview, observers say.Australia’s media code of ethics does not ban payment for interviews but it is increasingly frowned upon. However the code does say that journalists cannot let commercial considerations undermine accuracy, fairness or independence, and that they must disclose when payments have been made.”If half of this is true – and it’s yet to be tested in court – #7spotlight is an absolute disgrace,” Paul Barry, host of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Media Watch programme, wrote on X.Mr Auerbach has lost his job as an investigations producer at Sky News Australia over the saga, and another former Spotlight producer has also been sacked from a role as the head of media for New South Wales Police. Many suspect the fallout is likely to escalate.One report by Sydney’s Daily Telegraph claims Seven Network owner Kerry Stokes is considering cancelling the Spotlight programme – which first aired in 2021 – to limit the damage to the network’s brand.”It does raise questions as to who’s in charge at Seven and whether they should still be in charge,” Stephen Mayne, a shareholder activist and media commentator, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.But others say it could also have wider ramifications for the integrity of Australia’s media industry.Related TopicsMediaMedia ethicsAustraliaMore on this storyAustralian parliament rape retrial abandonedPublished2 December 2022Trial begins in Australia parliament rape casePublished4 October 2022Australia parliament rape trial abandonedPublished27 October 2022Top StoriesLive.

It is her only respite from the heat inside the brick kiln that looks more like a dimly-lit tomb. “It’s like working inside a burning prison,” the 47-year-old says as she stacks the dried bricks, which will be moved to a warehouse. “I have asked the owners to provide us with more fans. But they won’t because it will cost more money.” The fan she does have slowly clunks as it starts, eventually whirring into action. It barely creates a breeze. How hot is too hot to work? It is a question researchers have found the answer to here, in Cambodia’s brick kilns, where people toil in some of the hottest working conditions in the world, fuelled in part by the scraps of fast fashion.The BBC spoke to several workers who said they sweat so much through the day that it felt like they were in a hot bath. Fainting is common too, possibly because they become dehydrated. Their names have been changed because they fear reprisals from their employers.In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have tried to document how this sustained exposure to extreme heat is affecting workers’ health. Special sensors recorded the core temperature of 30 workers at these kilns over a week and showed that they all had heat stress, or core temperatures of more than 38C. This can cause fatigue, dizziness, nausea and headaches. A healthy body temperature usually ranges from 36.1C to 37.2C. Body temperature over 38C is symptomatic of a fever. Some workers had core temperatures of 40C, which can lead to heat stroke, resulting in convulsions, eventual loss of consciousness and even death, if not treated early. Image source, Thomas Cristofoletti/BBCImage caption, Workers say the fresh bricks often burn them through their glovesOne worker told researchers that he had suffered from heart failure due to the heat. But he eventually returned to work because this was the only way he knew to earn a living. This is only made worse by a warming climate and Cambodia’s own weather – last May it hit a new high with 41.6C during the hottest year on record. As global temperatures soar, even a small increase could mean the difference between life and death for the tens of thousands of brick kiln workers across Asia.”One of the big narratives that I hear again and again is that we’re all in this [climate change] together. But that’s absolutely not true. Some of us are a lot more in it than others,” said Laurie Parsons at Royal Holloway University, who authored the study.Fire and smoke It’s a humid afternoon outside the kiln, on the outskirts of Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh. Inside, where Chantrea is stacking bricks, it is stifling. But she is covered from head to toe in clothes that hang off her tiny frame – her only shield against the searing heat and dust. If the bricks are too hot, her skin blisters. The kilns themselves are enclosed by brick walls and sealed. Workers stay outside and feed wood though a hatch to keep the fire hot enough, usually around 1500C to set the clay bricks. Once that happens, they stop fuelling the flames and when the heat seems less unbearable, they enter the chamber.The last chance to save a mighty riverThe shadowy Chinese firms that own chunks of CambodiaThere is no data on the average temperature inside the kilns as it is hard for researchers to gain access. It’s also hard to know how many workers fall ill or worse because of the heat. Injuries from falling bricks are not uncommon, according to Chantrea. And workers told the researchers from the UK that the bricks often burn them, even through the gloves. Outside the kiln, Kosal, a father of two, scoops up a mix of fabric, plastic and rubber that he shoves into the hatch before shutting it quickly. Black smoke seeps through the cracks as children – his and other kiln workers’ – run past. Image source, Thomas Cristofoletti/ BBCImage caption, Bags bursting with clothing scraps are a cheaper source of fuel for the kilns – but they carry toxic traces”I am used to the black smoke. I don’t notice it any more,” he says. “I have to keep these fires burning for 24 hours. My wife and I split the work between us.”The children crawl over bags bulging with clothing offcuts – more fuel for the kiln from Cambodia’s $6bn garment industry.But what may initially appear a solution to the unwanted scraps of the country’s 1,300 garment factories is actually hiding its own deadly secret.According to a 2018 report – Blood Bricks – by UK academics at Royal Holloway, these scraps have traces of chlorine bleach, formaldehyde and ammonia, as well as heavy metals, PVC and resins used in the dyeing and printing processes. The report also found that brick factory workers reported regular migraines, nosebleeds and other illnesses.The country where Kissinger left a legacy of death and chaosThe record summer that scorched AsiaKosal’s three-year-old girl, her hair caked in dust, skips past a pile of Disney-labelled clothing. Most are flannel pyjamas embossed with images of Anna and Elsa from Frozen. They are made for children living in colder climates. Most Western fashion labels have strict codes of conduct to stop this from happening. A Disney spokesperson told the BBC that the company was investigating the claim and that it “did not condone the conditions alleged in this situation”.The BBC also found labels from Clarks shoes and H&M among others. Clarks called on the Cambodian ministry of environment to investigate and also invited other affected companies to join forces “in working together with the relevant authorities in Cambodia to eradicate this problem”.H&M acknowledged that traceability is still an issue in Cambodia but said they did have their own waste management guidelines to ensure that fabric waste isn’t used as a fuel source by factories, or sent to a landfill.Image caption, Scraps of Disney-labelled clothing show a sliver of Elsa, from the hit film FrozenCambodia’s brick kilns have long been accused of unsafe and unfair working conditions – and they employ some of the world’s poorest people. Now, climate change is only exacerbating those inequalities, experts say. “What we need to do is to consider how climate change impacts people through the lens of labour and inequality, and recognise that labour exploitation is a major factor in the worst impacts of climate change,” Mr Laurie said.The heat trap However toxic or difficult the job is, workers like Chantrea and Kosal can never leave. Victims of climate change, they are trapped in a cycle of heat. The majority of those who work in Cambodia’s brick kilns were farmers. Chantrea used to grow rice. But sparse rainfall in recent years has made it difficult to manage a single harvest.”We borrowed a lot of money after our crops failed. But when they kept failing, we ended up with a lot of debt,” she says. Eventually she had no choice but to migrate to Phnom Penh in the hope of finding a job to repay the loans. More than two million of Cambodia’s 10 million adults have outstanding micro-loans, according to the Cambodian Microfinance Association. On average, they each owe $3,320 (£1,955).This financial insecurity has supplied the vulnerable labour for brick kilns. Owners offer to pay off the loan but, in return, the worker is bonded to the kiln.Often whole families are bonded to the kiln. The BBC saw children helping their parents in the kiln despite efforts by the Cambodian government to prevent child labour.Image source, Thomas Cristofoletti/ BBCImage caption, Cambodia’s construction boom has come at the cost of its poorest communities”If we leave, we are afraid of being arrested and imprisoned,” Chantrea says. “So we must struggle here. If they ask us to enter the fire, we will do even that just so we can earn more money for food and to pay off our debt.”But the wages are too low for the debt to ever be repaid. Chantrea earns 10,000 Cambodian riel (£1.92; $2.45) for stacking around 500 bricks. With this she has to pay for food, electricity and water. Her home is a tin shack on the edge of the kiln and she supports a boy she found alone on the street and adopted. When they are hungry, they forage together for snails.”After several years, I have never paid the owner back,” Chantrea says. The debt, she adds, has only increased.Cambodia’s kilns have fed the capital’s construction boom. It has drawn foreign investors, including the UK, which has invested one billion pounds, according to researchers from Royal Holloway University.But as Phnom Penh reaches toward the sky, with tower after tower of air conditioned apartments, the city is leaving behind those who’ve helped to build it.Related TopicsAsiaCambodiaClimateTop StoriesNine hurt in ‘horrific’ Clapham corrosive substance attackPublished13 minutes agoLegal scammer costs vulnerable clients thousandsPublished35 minutes agoMan charged with murders of two teenage boysPublished3 hours agoFeatures’I saved £200 by doing Dry January’Sturgeon’s ‘crocodile tears’ and ‘ITV want Winkleman’Former FM returns to centre stage at Covid InquiryWho is Bushra Bibi, the mystical wife of Imran Khan?What is the new Northern Ireland trade deal?’If not Putin, then who?’ – How Russians view looming electionsN Ireland’s new dawn, led by republican first minister’I regret posting online that I was Madeleine McCann’Police officers mock bodycam video of semi-naked womanElsewhere on the BBCWar, negotiations and geopoliticsLearn about Putin’s war in Ukraine in gripping detailAttributioniPlayerIs nature better off without us?Discover the wonder of nature and meet the people determined to keep it wonderfulAttributionSoundsFrom blueprint to the Manhattan skylineJourney to the past and see the remarkable story behind the iconic Empire State BuildingAttributioniPlayerFrom the Fall to Fifty ShadesActor Jamie Dornan shares the soundtrack of his life with Lauren LaverneAttributionSoundsMost Read1Nine injured in Clapham ‘corrosive substance’ attack2Margot Robbie comments on best actress Oscar snub3Legal scammer costs vulnerable clients thousands4Man charged with murders of two teenage boys5Who is Bushra Bibi, the mystical wife of Imran Khan?6Sturgeon’s ‘crocodile tears’ and ‘ITV want Winkleman’7Zuckerberg apologises to families in fiery Senate hearing8’If not Putin, then who?’ – How Russians view looming elections9Israelis tell MPs of Hamas sexual violence evidence10Council financial crisis ‘out of control’, MPs warn](https://newsinsightplus.com/wp-content/uploads/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/branded_news/E971/production/_132516795_cambodia_brick_kilns-013.jpg)

The vandals wrote “The colony will fall” on the Cook statue’s plinth. Police said the “criminal damage” to both memorials happened in the early hours of Thursday. “It is understood the [Cook] statue was sawn off at the ankles. Several people were seen loitering in the area around the time of the incident,” Victoria Police said in a statement. The 1914 monument – one of the Australia’s oldest of the British explorer – commemorates his 1768-1771 voyage during which he charted the country’s east coast. It has a history of being vandalised on or around 26 January. In 2022 it was splashed in red paint, while in 2018 it was graffitied with the words “no pride” and had an Aboriginal flag placed next to it. Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan said the vandalism of both monuments had “no place in our community”.”We’ll be working with council to repair and reinstate the statue in St Kilda,” she added, referring to the suburb where it is located.Work is also under way to clean the Queen Victoria memorial in the city’s centre. Port Phillip Mayor Heather Cunsolo said that while she understood the “diverse views surrounding Australia Day” she could not condone “the vandalism of a public asset where costs will be ultimately borne by ratepayers”. She said her council had arranged for a security guard to protect the Cook statue on Thursday, but the incident occurred before they were scheduled to arrive. Opinion polls show roughly two thirds of Australians support celebrating Australia Day on 26 January.But many Indigenous Australians and others say it is wrong to celebrate a date which represents the theft of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands and their dislocation from culture.”Invasion Day” protests have grown in recent years and many people boycott the holiday.Related TopicsAustraliaMore on this storyCaptain Cook statue vandalised in AustraliaPublished25 January 2018Australia debates Cook ‘discovery’ statuePublished23 August 2017Cook monument plan divides opinionPublished29 April 2018Top StoriesRussia risked lives in downed plane, says ZelenskyPublished2 hours agoUK to loan back Ghana’s looted ‘crown jewels’Published4 hours agoChild obesity in pandemic could have lifelong effects, study saysPublished7 hours agoFeaturesDowned Russian plane leaves unanswered questionsThe Papers: UK ‘should have citizen army’ and Royal Mail cutbacksHas Sunak seen off latest Tory wobbles?South Africa fire survivors living in unsafe shacksMichael Owen: I’d pay anything for my son to see againRecords broken but Barbie snubbed – 6 Oscars talking pointsOscars 2024: List of nominations in fullSkepta: I’m bored of the black James Bond narrativeHeartache and betrayal behind ‘secret’ policeElsewhere on the BBCHow did Britain lead the world into the jet age?An unlikely story of outstanding aviation achievement at a time of national austerityAttributioniPlayerWhat can a Kinder Surprise tell us about language?Sociologist Keith Kahn-Harris explores the toy’s multilingual warning label…AttributionSounds’I never tried to be famous…it was accidental’Michael Parkinson with guests Ricky Gervais, Michael Palin and Kate AdieAttributioniPlayerThe DNA test that exposed a scandalJenny Kleeman investigates what happens when genealogy, technology and identity collideAttributionSoundsMost Read1Halle Berry’s film shelved by Netflix – US media2UK ‘should have citizen army’ and Royal Mail cutbacks3Russia risked lives in downed plane, says Zelensky4UK to loan back Ghana’s looted ‘crown jewels’5Britain must train citizen army, military chief warns6Top US court refuses to block nitrogen gas execution7Add salt to make perfect cup of tea, US scientist says8Patients deleted from surgery queues after ‘error’9Downed Russian plane leaves unanswered questions10Captain Cook statue vandalised ahead of Australia Day](https://newsinsightplus.com/wp-content/uploads/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/branded_news/C0AA/production/_132422394_cook.jpg)
