CHURCH: Let's go back to our developing story out of Australia this hour. Five people in Sydney are now charged with conspiring to plan a terrorist attack. Sky News reporter, Greg Thomson, joins us now with more on this. So, Greg, this is even more disturbing, because it involves a teenager. What details do you have on these raids and the outcome?</s>GREG THOMSON, REPORTER, SKY NEWS: That's exactly right. It's quite a significant breakthrough for police who have been investigating this for quite some time now. They addressed the media early this morning, Australian, time and said this investigation, Operation Applebee, has been ongoing for a long time. Good couple of months. In fact, it started off probably December last year. So we're talking nearly 12 months the police have been looking into these links and a lot of evidence has allegedly come forward to their attention, which saw them carry out these raids. As you mentioned, the ages are also quite disturbing as well. Those who were arrested during a series of raids across western Sydney this morning were from the age of 20, 21, 22, and most concerning as well, a 15-year-old has been arrested and subsequently charged this afternoon. Now, we understand he has been radicalized and is part of a group that's been under the radar of police for quite some time. And the charges that you mentioned earlier, as well, it's quite wordy. They have been charged with one count of conspiracy to conduct an act in preparation for a terrorist act, contrary to Section 101.6 of the commonwealth criminal code. So it's a very significant development in Australia given what we've seen over the past couple of months. This operation had 11 people arrested on 33 offenses.</s>CHURCH: All right, very disturbing, indeed, when you look at the ages there of these young men. Sky News reporter, Greg Thomson, joining us live there from Sydney. Many thanks to you. We'll take a very short break here and we'll be back in just a moment.
