1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: From The Australian. Here's what's on the Front. I'm Claire Harvey.

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: It's Thursday, January nine. Donald Trump will be inaugurated for

3
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: his second term in just over a week, and he's

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: set to reshape global politics. But aucas will survive, according

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: to leading Republicans and Democrats. That's an exclusive live right

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: now at the Australian dot com dot au. It's six

7
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: months since the world lost Michael Moseley, the English doctor

8
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: who changed the way many of us eat, exercise and live.

9
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: Today we look at the life and death of this

10
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: remarkable man. This episode was originally aired in June. We'll

11
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: be back with all new episodes of The Front on

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: January eleven.

13
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: Life comes at us fast, thoughts and ideas, hopes and worries.

14
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: It is all too easy to get caught up in

15
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: the whirlwind.

16
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: This is the voice of doctor Michael Moseley, a sixty

17
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: seven year old British medico and TV presenter who devoted

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: his life to making other people feel better.

19
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: But deep with them, we do have the capacity to

20
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: achieve an inner piece that does not depend on the

21
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: outside world or on anyone else.

22
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: Deep Calm is one of Moseley's podcasts, part of a

23
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: suite of thoughtful, inspiring shows he made for the BBC

24
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: and other broadcasters including SBS Australia, synthesizing his medical training

25
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: and appetite for knowledge with a gift for simply communicating

26
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: big ideas about everything from diet to sleep. In that

27
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: podcast episode you heard, Moseley was explaining the latest research

28
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: on the science of how our brains process images of

29
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: the natural world to ease us stress.

30
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: This activates your body's relaxation response, slowing your heart rate,

31
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: lowering your blood pressure, and via the release of calming

32
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: neurotransmitters in the brain, lifting your mood.

33
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: Moseley was trusted and liked. That's why. Over the past

34
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: five days, the world has been gripped by the story

35
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: of Moseley's disappearance on a Greek island, Sinny, where he

36
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: was holidaying with his wife Claire, after he decided to

37
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: take a walk in nature.

38
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: Doctor Michael Moseley.

39
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: Doctor Michael Moseley.

40
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: Television doctor Michael Moseley.

41
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 4: It's believed the body of doctor Michael Moseley has been found.

42
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: Over five days, an immense search of air land and

43
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: sea took place. Emergency services tourists and the island's locals

44
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: searched cliffs, the rocky shure, the ocean and the bleak

45
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: terrain above, but all along Moseley was right there, just

46
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: out of sight, about ten or fifteen meters from the resort.

47
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: The body was found just behind me in this incredibly

48
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 4: steep and rocky terrain, and it's close to the path

49
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 4: where he was thought to have taken to Agia Marina

50
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 4: in Simi, but it's not an actual route down to

51
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 4: the beach. It appears that he may have slipped over

52
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 4: while making his way down.

53
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: This is our colleague, journalist ed Southgate of London's The.

54
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 4: Sun, just this morning at around ten thirty. I was

55
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 4: doing a piece to camera when an agitated barman alerted

56
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 4: us to something behind that fence by pointing up. He

57
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 4: began marching back to the Russian area as we looked

58
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 4: over the wall and ourselves saw the body.

59
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: Just before this, other journalists with the Island's Mare in

60
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: a boat had seen something shining on the rocky slope

61
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: and had called the barman to alert him. The brightness

62
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: they'd seen turned out to be the sun glinting off

63
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: Michael Moseley's wristwatch. In his piece for The Son, Ed wrote,

64
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: I froze. It was horrifying and incredibly overwhelming. I was

65
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: hit by an intense shock and sadness. I felt sick

66
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: and at several points I was on the verge of tears.

67
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: This horrific discovery comes five days after Dr Masey went missing,

68
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 4: and huge questions are sure to follow over why search

69
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 4: teams took so long to get to him and why

70
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: he was ultimately found by a barman and then a journalist.

71
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: Here's the barman, Ilias Zavares speaking to Ed.

72
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 5: They said to me, k go and check that pleasure

73
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 5: over there. I was able to see him, like really

74
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 5: from paraway, so I went close to make sure that

75
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 5: he and I went close. I saw the body down there.

76
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 4: And after you saw the body, what happened?

77
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 5: Then? I called immediately the guy who called me the

78
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 5: owner because he was with the cost guard. I said,

79
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 5: you know what I found the body, Come run run now.

80
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: The Greek island of Simi is in the South Aegean,

81
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: part of the Dodecanese chain of islands close to Turkey.

82
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: Simi is mentioned by many of the giants of ancient history, Fucydides, Herodotus,

83
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: and Homer, whose twenty eight hundred year old epic ponn

84
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: the Iliad describes a handsome king Nereus of Simi, setting

85
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: sail with three ships to attack Troy, a city far

86
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: to the north in what's now Turkey, to recapture Queen Helen,

87
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: the most beautiful woman in the world, who had been

88
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: captured by the Trojans. Simi's economy is built on fishing

89
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: and now tourism. Simi's big on destination weddings, where couples

90
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: can marry in the island's antique stone churches or even

91
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: the giant monastery of Saint Michael of Panometis. And after

92
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: the ceremony, the happy couples come to Argia Marina for

93
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: their rescis. And it's just here outside a wire fence,

94
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: steps from the bar where Moseley's body lay. Over the weekend,

95
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: Mosley's wife, Claire Bailey Mosley, released a statement in which

96
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: she said how proud she was of the couple's four

97
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: adult children, who'd rushed to the island to join the search.

98
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: She thanked locals, searches and the media. Here's doctor Claire

99
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: Bailey Mosley's statement. As reported on Sky News.

100
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: She says, I don't know quite where to begin with this.

101
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 3: It's devastating to have lost Michael, my wonderful, funny, kind

102
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: and brilliant husband. We had an incredibly lucky life together.

103
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 3: We loved each other very much and were so happy together.

104
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 3: We're taking comfort in the fact that he so very

105
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: nearly made it. He did an incredible climb, took the

106
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 3: wrong route and collapsed just where he couldn't be easily

107
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: seen by the extensive search team.

108
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: She was with Michael Moseley at one thirty pm local

109
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: time on Wednesday, when he left the beach at Agios

110
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: Nikolas to walk back to Ardia Marina, where they were staying.

111
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: About twenty minutes after leaving the beach, CCTV captured him

112
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: halfway to his destination, walking through the town of Petty,

113
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: striding out confidently, shaded by his umbrella. The rest of

114
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: the walk should have taken Moseley between ten minutes and

115
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: half an hour, but it seems he ended up doing

116
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: a much more arduous hike than he'd planned.

117
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 6: Well, we know that about just over a kilometer from

118
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 6: where he set off, he was seen at a cafe

119
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 6: or walking past a cafe and that was the critical

120
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 6: juncture point.

121
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: Jacqueline Magney is The Australian's europe correspondent.

122
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 6: He should have turned left to go back to his accommodation,

123
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 6: but instead he appears to have gone right and gone

124
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 6: up a very steep, rocky mountain side. Now we don't

125
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 6: know whether he got lost, whether that was intentional, or

126
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 6: whether he was confused, whether he was suffering. He'd exhaustion

127
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 6: at that point, but he did walk past assistance. So

128
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 6: the thought is that if he was in any kind

129
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 6: of distress at that point, that he could have got help,

130
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 6: but he's chosen or has gone up this very rocky,

131
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 6: steep mountain side and then obviously has reached the top,

132
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 6: maybe looked at the view, and then has gone down

133
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 6: the other side to where this marina is.

134
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: He didn't have a mobile phone with him, and his

135
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: increasingly frantic wife raised the alarm that afternoon. Initial reports

136
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: from local police suggest Mosley died several days before he

137
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: was found on Sunday local time, and his backpack was

138
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: located several meters above him on the slope down to

139
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: the water. That's led to speculation he slipped, possibly after

140
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: a medical episode of some kind coming up Michael Moseley's

141
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: Lessons for Life. We love you to join our subscribers

142
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: at the Australian dot Com dot ahu who are always

143
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: the first to know about the world's biggest stories and

144
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: the news closest to home. We'll be back after this break.

145
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: After qualifying as a doctor, Michael Mosley joined the BBC

146
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: in the mid eighties as a producer, determined to use

147
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: his medical knowledge to communicate with the world, but along

148
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: the way he made some confronting discoveries about his own

149
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: health that changed his life dramatically. In his early fifties,

150
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: Moseley was diagnosed with type two diabetes. He'd gained a

151
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: lot of weight around his midsection, and he had a

152
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: shocking realization he might be on the same part as

153
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: his father, who'd been overweight and had also suffered type

154
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: two diabetes. Mosley's father had heart failure and early onset

155
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: dementia and died at seventy four. Mosley took up a

156
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: Mediterranean diet, high protein, high in green veggies, and lots

157
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: of healthy fats like olive oil. He also experimented with

158
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: intimittent fasting, spending twelve or more hours out of every

159
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: twenty four eating nothing at all. For some people, that's

160
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: skipping breakfast or skipping dinner. Mosley's podcast Just One Thing

161
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: for the BBC focused on all the small things we

162
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: can do to feel and be better, like eating dark chocolate.

163
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: I have a seriously sweet tooth, so much so that

164
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: I normally don't have any sugary treats in the house

165
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: because I know I'll just eat them. But today I

166
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: am allowing myself just one thing that should not only

167
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: satisfy my cravings, but may even lure my blood pressure,

168
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: improve my cardiovascular health, and perhaps even boost my brain.

169
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: Working out, I've.

170
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 2: Been doing HIT high intensity interval training. Now HIT may

171
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: well be the single best way to get the most

172
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: benefit act of exercise in the shortest amount.

173
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: Of time and getting a better sleep.

174
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: He's only ten o'clock in the evening, but I'm already

175
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: beginning to wind down and get ready for bed.

176
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: Here's Jacqueline Magne.

177
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 6: Well, he was very popular because he was quirky and

178
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 6: he put himself out there. He used his own body

179
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 6: as experiments. So he did this one bizarre experiment where

180
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 6: he actually ingested tapeworms and had tapeworms in his body

181
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 6: for six weeks to see the impact on the body

182
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 6: that would have. Now that kind of shows how a

183
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 6: little bit bizarre, a little bit off field he was.

184
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 6: But he had a very engaging personality and he presented

185
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 6: his theories and experiments in a very factual, engaging way,

186
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 6: and so Paul loved him because he was just very personable.

187
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 6: He was a voice that was respected. So if doctor

188
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 6: Moseley suggested something, people actually took notice because he had

189
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 6: done these experiments on himself, because he'd come up with

190
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 6: these revolutionary ideas, he was somebody that people thought, Okay,

191
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 6: I'm going to listen to this, So his advice was

192
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 6: taken on board. Where the people acted on it is

193
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 6: another matter, but it was something that he was genuinely,

194
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 6: very respected for and well loved for.
