We're going to start this hour in Australia where a week on now from the attacks on Bondi beach in Sydney, which of course targeted a Jewish celebration and left 15 people dead.

The country is holding a national day of reflection.

You can see just after 8 o' clock there and the flowers and people still coming to reflect in huge numbers.

There have been speeches as well as pauses and there was a minute's silence to remember those who were killed.

Well, as well as the people and plenty of people there that you can see have been attending that event.

The Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese arrived and when he did, he received a loud chorus of boos.

Well, at times the Prime Minister did look a little startled there.

At least one member of the crowd shouted, blood on your hands.

And his wife grasped him across his arm at one point.

And at least one member of the crowd was tackled by police.

Well, let's cross live now to Bondi Beach.

We can speak to our correspondent Phil Mercer, who is there.

Phil, first of all, just talk us through what has been happening there over the last couple of hours.

Well, we were expecting a large crowd here at Bondi beach, but

the number of people on this grassy bank behind me is absolutely enormous.

And we've been listening to the speeches and one of the themes is this sense of defiance.

Never again in the eyes of the Jewish community is very much the message for tonight.

The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, he might have expected quite a rough welcome here.

I'm not quite sure he anticipated such a hostile, hostile reaction.

But it has been one of the stories of the past seven days.

Albanese's government for what its critics say is a failure to stem a rising tide in anti Semitism.

We've seen the government announce a crackdown on extremism, for example, gun reform and also a review into the intelligence agencies.

So those measures are an attempt by Mr. Albanese to reassert his authority.

Blood on your hands is very much a sentiment that's been echoed here by some, but

But Mr. Albanese really stepping in to the memorial today to those booze.

But generally speaking, we get the sense that the mood here is one of defiance and togetherness, given that that massive crowd on that grassy bank will be made up, of course, of many Jewish Australians, but

also significant many non Jewish Australians.

Yeah, just tell us a little bit more, Phil, about some of the sentiment people you've been speaking to.

There, why they feel that they wanted to be there exactly when we come.

But of therapy, really it's very therapeutic for the people we've been speaking to to come together, to be in a large crowd of like minded people in as much as people wanting to be together for this minute of silence that was held at 6:47pm in the evening.

So just over an hour and 20 odd minutes ago, as you see, getting dark here in eastern Australia.

So this is the end of Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights.

And now that it's getting dark across Australia, many government buildings will be bathed in yellow light as a tribute to the victims.

Flags have been flying at half mast and security here has been absolutely tight.

There was another police cruiser on the water.

So in a way that wraps arms of safety around people coming to acknowledge the horror that unfolded here seven days ago.

A week ago there were bodies on the ground and not too long ago.

So today is very important, I think, for people just to come and be together to share their defiance, to share their sadness, but
