00:00:10,614 --> 00:00:15,934
Speaker 1: You're listing to a Mummamea podcast. Mummameer acknowledges the traditional

2
00:00:15,934 --> 00:00:22,334
Speaker 1: owners of land and waters that this podcast is recorded on. Hi.

3
00:00:22,454 --> 00:00:25,774
Speaker 1: I'm Nicole Madigan from Mummamea's twice daily news podcast, The

4
00:00:25,854 --> 00:00:30,614
Speaker 1: Quickie with Your Headlines. For Tuesday, July twenty two, for

5
00:00:30,694 --> 00:00:33,374
Speaker 1: the first time, the world's highest court will offer advice

6
00:00:33,454 --> 00:00:37,694
Speaker 1: on the world's biggest problem. Young campaigners have successfully rallied

7
00:00:37,694 --> 00:00:42,374
Speaker 1: global support for a landmark international climate case originally conceived

8
00:00:42,454 --> 00:00:45,894
Speaker 1: by a group of Pacific based law students. While not

9
00:00:46,014 --> 00:00:50,494
Speaker 1: legally binding, Wednesday's long awaited advisory opinion from the International

10
00:00:50,534 --> 00:00:54,574
Speaker 1: Court of Justice will clarify the responsibility of nations to

11
00:00:54,614 --> 00:00:58,974
Speaker 1: prevent climate harm and redress damage inflicted from greenhouse gases.

12
00:00:59,414 --> 00:01:02,494
Speaker 1: Getting the world's highest court to deliver an advisory opinion

13
00:01:02,574 --> 00:01:04,814
Speaker 1: was not a simple task for the global network of

14
00:01:04,894 --> 00:01:08,214
Speaker 1: Young Climate campaigners, with a majority vote of the United

15
00:01:08,294 --> 00:01:12,454
Speaker 1: Nations General Assembly required for it to proceed. Extending the

16
00:01:12,494 --> 00:01:16,174
Speaker 1: weekend could be the recipe for improving employee health and

17
00:01:16,374 --> 00:01:20,854
Speaker 1: the secret source to boost business productivity. A large scale,

18
00:01:20,934 --> 00:01:23,694
Speaker 1: peer reviewed study has found a four day working week

19
00:01:23,814 --> 00:01:28,254
Speaker 1: could reduce employee burnout and improved job satisfaction, but the

20
00:01:28,294 --> 00:01:31,974
Speaker 1: research released also found that working fewer hours improved their

21
00:01:32,014 --> 00:01:35,974
Speaker 1: workplace performance, according to insights gleaned from more than five

22
00:01:36,054 --> 00:01:40,694
Speaker 1: hundred Australian and New Zealand employees. The findings follow a

23
00:01:40,774 --> 00:01:43,854
Speaker 1: series of significant trials of four day working weeks in

24
00:01:43,934 --> 00:01:48,214
Speaker 1: nations including the UK, Canada and Germany, and after the

25
00:01:48,254 --> 00:01:52,694
Speaker 1: Greens proposed a national pilot program during the federal election campaign.

26
00:01:53,094 --> 00:01:56,654
Speaker 1: The companies prepared for the trial by reorganizing their operations

27
00:01:56,694 --> 00:02:01,054
Speaker 1: and eliminating low value activities such as unnecessary meetings for

28
00:02:01,094 --> 00:02:06,054
Speaker 1: two months before reducing workers hours. Reducing work hours improved

29
00:02:06,094 --> 00:02:09,934
Speaker 1: performance and productivity due to lower levels of fatigue and

30
00:02:10,094 --> 00:02:14,574
Speaker 1: fewer sleeping problems. A former judge who gave confidential material

31
00:02:14,654 --> 00:02:18,494
Speaker 1: from an inquiry into Bruce Lherman's criminal prosecution to the media,

32
00:02:18,734 --> 00:02:22,014
Speaker 1: claiming to be transparent, was in fact corrupt, a court

33
00:02:22,054 --> 00:02:25,654
Speaker 1: has been told. Walter sofronov KC, who led the high

34
00:02:25,654 --> 00:02:29,854
Speaker 1: profile probe into Lherman's abandoned rape prosecution, was found by

35
00:02:29,894 --> 00:02:33,574
Speaker 1: the Act Integrity Commission to have engaged in serious corrupt

36
00:02:33,694 --> 00:02:38,214
Speaker 1: conduct after leaking confidential material to a journalist. His lawyer

37
00:02:38,294 --> 00:02:41,334
Speaker 1: told the Court, Sofronov genuinely believed he was acting in

38
00:02:41,414 --> 00:02:45,414
Speaker 1: the public interest and was not malicious or dishonest, only

39
00:02:45,494 --> 00:02:49,414
Speaker 1: trying to ensure transparency, but the Commission argued his actions

40
00:02:49,494 --> 00:02:54,334
Speaker 1: breached non disclosure obligations and damaged public trust. The Court

41
00:02:54,374 --> 00:02:59,214
Speaker 1: heard Sofronov repeatedly contacted journalist Janet Albrigston and gave her

42
00:02:59,254 --> 00:03:03,414
Speaker 1: an advanced copy of the inquiry's final report, raising concerns

43
00:03:03,494 --> 00:03:08,134
Speaker 1: about bias. Sofronov is seeking to have the corruption finding overturned,

44
00:03:08,454 --> 00:03:12,974
Speaker 1: citing legal errors in the Commission's process. Liam Gallagher has

45
00:03:13,014 --> 00:03:16,454
Speaker 1: taken a swipe at Coldplay following the band's now viral

46
00:03:16,614 --> 00:03:21,454
Speaker 1: kisscam controversy. During his Manchester show on Sunday, the Oasis

47
00:03:21,494 --> 00:03:25,094
Speaker 1: frontman asshured fans there'd be no snidy camera moments at

48
00:03:25,094 --> 00:03:28,894
Speaker 1: his gigs. At Jabbet Colplay's recent concert in Boston, where

49
00:03:28,894 --> 00:03:32,534
Speaker 1: two executives were caught cuddling on the big screen, the

50
00:03:32,614 --> 00:03:36,294
Speaker 1: pair Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot, both reportedly married to

51
00:03:36,334 --> 00:03:40,294
Speaker 1: other people, drew attention after Coldplay's Chris Martin joked they

52
00:03:40,334 --> 00:03:43,894
Speaker 1: were either having an affair or very shy. The clip

53
00:03:43,894 --> 00:03:46,494
Speaker 1: has since gone viral with over one hundred and twenty

54
00:03:46,654 --> 00:03:50,374
Speaker 1: million views. Following the backlash, Byron resigned from his role

55
00:03:50,414 --> 00:03:54,254
Speaker 1: at software company Astronomer, which said its leadership must meet

56
00:03:54,334 --> 00:03:57,814
Speaker 1: the highest standards of conduct. Gallagher told the crowd it

57
00:03:57,934 --> 00:04:01,254
Speaker 1: was none of their business. The controversy continues to spark

58
00:04:01,294 --> 00:04:05,574
Speaker 1: debate online. That's your evening News headlines On tomorrow's episode
