Luke Sayers settles defamation; Baby stolen in carjacking; Work-from-home legislation paused

0:00The explosive Lude photo-deformation lawsuit between former Carlton Boss Luke Sayers and his ex-wife is over after a settlement was reached. Lawyers told the court, Mr Sayers, apologized unreservedly to the mother of his four daughters for the extreme hurt he's brought to the family. The former Lude picture to explosive very public scandal. The Sayers' legal showdown ended quietly today. Kate Sayers settling her defamation case against ex-husband Luke in a Supreme Court hearing lasting just three minutes. The former Carlton president chose not to attend court, apologising to his ex-wife in a statement through his lawyer. I acknowledge the extreme hurt and harm caused to Kate Sayers in suggesting she posted the explicit picture of his penis.

1:01I accept that she did not do this to the extent that I may have suggested otherwise. I apologise unreservedly to her. The Lude picture appeared on Luke Sayers' ex-account in January last year, triggering an investigation by the AFL. Both Luke and Kate Sayers denying they posted the photograph, the case landing in court after Kate sued her ex-husband, alleging he falsely claimed she was responsible in his statutory declaration to the AFL. This brings to a close a painful and difficult chapter that began with extraordinary claims made about me that were accepted without challenge by powerful institutions. The judge immediately agreed to finalise the case praising both the parties for settling the matter in private. How do you happy with a settlement that's been reached? Yes, I'm pleased. Thank you.

2:01baby was in the car. Mike, please say a 51-year-old man flagged down a motorist on the Murray Valley Highway near Swan Hill. A 36-year-old mum stopped to help. He then allegedly stole her car with the baby still strapped inside. Luckily, the baby was dumped a short distance away. And guess what? The alleged offender? He was out on bail. I've had enough, and I know you've had enough. Happened on Wednesday morning at around 11 o'clock, and now that 51-year-old man's been arrested and is facing a string of charges, Mike. Laura Turner, Laura, thank you. The Premier has ruled out an emergency sitting of Parliament before the election to push through his work from home legislation. Business groups hope it's the end of the proposed laws. Walking to the MCG with the Premier, NFL fans who might otherwise have been working

3:02from home, Ben Carroll still stinging after his legislation was stalled by an upper-house vote yesterday. All year the Liberal Party have said they would support work from home, but they have been pretending all along. A committee of MPs will now assess the impact of making working from home two days a week a right, with no pre-election sitting days to pass it once the committee concludes, and the Premier won't add more. The Liberals had been on board but say eight last-minute amendments by the government changed their mind. The bill needed to be properly considered in a way that it could be ready. The Labour does win in November, but will you push forward to have it reintroduced and push it through again? We certainly will. But the Opposition won't commit to making work from home two days a week law, their policy, going into the election. We will take the advice of the committee if we were fortunate enough to be elected. The department would provide advice on the legislation as well.

4:04Very, very relieved that common sense has prevailed. The Scrooops are celebrating it as a win, hoping it means the end of their long fight to stop it, but they remain ready to take it to the high court as unconstitutional if it's resurrected. There has been no data provided which evaluates what the impact of this bill would be. Paul Dowsley, 7 News A bandito's bikey has been arrested after a botched fire bombing in Melbourne's West. A man set himself a light while talking to backeners in Milton last Thursday. He remains in a critical condition in hospital. Today investigators executed a warrant at the bandito's clubhouse in Belarat and arrested the 32-year-old man, police are yet to disclose what he's accused of. In just a few hours from now, the US will pause to mark its darkest days. This is a live look at the 9-11 memorial in New York where a solemn service will take place soon.

5:07A haunting drone show has recreated the twin towers with 2,977 lights, one for each life lost. Among the first responders was one very brave Australian who ran into the danger. For Australian Alison Thompson, walking the streets of downtown New York, brings up painful memories. It is overwhelming being here. It's very emotional. We've never really moved on to September 12th. 25 years ago, she witnessed the city change forever. An investment banker and a trained medic, she was home when the first plane hit but grabbed her first aid kit and rushed toward the danger. As I came down to the area, people were coming towards me like zombies. I don't know how long later but there was this great rumble in the sky, like a thousand pre-trains clashing together and I looked up in the mushroom of the world roads and I started to come down and I just roll the blade of my life up the street.

6:08And when the smoke was getting too close, I dived under a truck and just started praying and praying and praying. For the next six days, she stayed at ground zero, sleeping wherever she could, doing anything to help. Every day we thought we'd still find someone and even if we couldn't find them, we wanted to retrieve their bodies. Days turned to months, helping the city she called her home away from home. Then her grief turned to action, Allison launching her own army of volunteers that to this day deployed to disaster zones around the world. To honor my friends that died that day. Leaning on each other has become a coping mechanism for survivors. I was here that day on 9-11 and it was a rough morning. We climbed, we climbed all day, climbed till about 930 at night looking for people, never found anybody. Firefighters sharing their stories of grief. To talk about the people that we lost that day and that we continue to lose

7:09because of 9-11 related cancers, anybody working that day definitely lost somebody. 9-11 has left a scar on this city and it's people so deep that for some, it is still too difficult to talk about, but they have vowed to never forget. And in the coming hours, millions of Americans will stop to remember 25 years on. A promise to the 2,977 victims killed on a day that changed the world. In New York City, Mali Hogan, 7 News.
