00:00:15,334 --> 00:00:18,134
Speaker 1: the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast

3
00:00:18,214 --> 00:00:24,534
Speaker 1: is recorded on Hi. I'm Cassandra for Momma MEA's twice

4
00:00:24,614 --> 00:00:28,174
Speaker 1: daily news podcast. To quickie with your headlines for Wednesday,

5
00:00:28,334 --> 00:00:32,494
Speaker 1: April nine, Opposition leader Peter Dutton has confirmed his father

6
00:00:32,574 --> 00:00:35,334
Speaker 1: suffered a heart attack before the first leader's debate of

7
00:00:35,374 --> 00:00:39,334
Speaker 1: the election campaign. Speaking on Nova, Dutton said he considered

8
00:00:39,374 --> 00:00:41,894
Speaker 1: pulling out of the debate but was able to push

9
00:00:41,894 --> 00:00:45,134
Speaker 1: through as his sisters were at the hospital providing regular

10
00:00:45,214 --> 00:00:48,654
Speaker 1: updates on his dad's well being. Dutton said he's a

11
00:00:48,654 --> 00:00:51,614
Speaker 1: tough old bugger so he'll be fine, adding I love

12
00:00:51,694 --> 00:00:55,254
Speaker 1: him very much. Despite losing the debate, members of the

13
00:00:55,254 --> 00:00:58,934
Speaker 1: Coalition have praised Dutton's resilience and his decision to move

14
00:00:58,974 --> 00:01:03,334
Speaker 1: ahead with the engagement despite his father's condition. Shadow Finance

15
00:01:03,374 --> 00:01:06,574
Speaker 1: Minister Jane Hume and that his commitment is proof of

16
00:01:06,694 --> 00:01:08,774
Speaker 1: just how dedicated he is to the job that he

17
00:01:08,894 --> 00:01:10,974
Speaker 1: has and the kind of prime minister he will be.

18
00:01:11,374 --> 00:01:14,134
Speaker 1: Dutton and Albanizi will face off at their second debate

19
00:01:14,214 --> 00:01:18,094
Speaker 1: on the ABC next Wednesday night. In the latest hit.

20
00:01:18,294 --> 00:01:21,134
Speaker 1: Fifty three billion dollars was wiped from the market in

21
00:01:21,174 --> 00:01:24,574
Speaker 1: this morning's early trading. It's a result of President Trump's

22
00:01:24,614 --> 00:01:27,934
Speaker 1: new tariff scheme, which saw an existing twenty percent tariff

23
00:01:28,054 --> 00:01:31,214
Speaker 1: on China get raised by thirty four percent. This is

24
00:01:31,254 --> 00:01:33,494
Speaker 1: three times the tariff that Australia has been hit with

25
00:01:33,694 --> 00:01:37,014
Speaker 1: at just ten percent. China, which is vowed to fight

26
00:01:37,174 --> 00:01:40,094
Speaker 1: until the end on tariff's, responded with a thirty four

27
00:01:40,134 --> 00:01:43,614
Speaker 1: percent tariff of its own. Trump hit back again, further,

28
00:01:43,734 --> 00:01:47,214
Speaker 1: raising his tariff by fifty percent, bringing the total tariff

29
00:01:47,254 --> 00:01:49,974
Speaker 1: to a whopping one hundred and four percent, which began

30
00:01:50,054 --> 00:01:54,134
Speaker 1: from two pm Australian Eastern Standard time today, April nine.

31
00:01:54,534 --> 00:01:58,254
Speaker 1: The decision wriggd havoc on an already unstable stock market

32
00:01:58,334 --> 00:02:01,014
Speaker 1: and will have a direct impact on both investors and

33
00:02:01,094 --> 00:02:05,174
Speaker 1: everyday Australians through their superannuation accounts. It's the third time

34
00:02:05,254 --> 00:02:07,334
Speaker 1: in just four days that the market has faced a

35
00:02:07,414 --> 00:02:10,894
Speaker 1: huge setback, and it's the biggest market drop since the

36
00:02:10,894 --> 00:02:15,214
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen pandemic. Megan Markle has released the first episode

37
00:02:15,254 --> 00:02:18,974
Speaker 1: of her new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder. While

38
00:02:18,974 --> 00:02:22,934
Speaker 1: interviewing Bumble CEO Whitney Wolf heard the pair discussed how

39
00:02:22,934 --> 00:02:26,934
Speaker 1: they both suffered from postpardum pre clampsia after giving birth.

40
00:02:27,334 --> 00:02:30,414
Speaker 1: It's the first time Megan has opened up about experiencing

41
00:02:30,454 --> 00:02:34,254
Speaker 1: the health condition, which is a hypertensive disorder that results

42
00:02:34,374 --> 00:02:36,814
Speaker 1: in high blood pressure and high levels of protein in

43
00:02:36,854 --> 00:02:40,974
Speaker 1: the urine. When left untreated, postpardum preclampsia can lead to

44
00:02:41,054 --> 00:02:45,814
Speaker 1: serious complications such as seizure, stroke and organ damage. Speaking

45
00:02:45,894 --> 00:02:48,894
Speaker 1: of her experience, Megan called it rare and so scary.

46
00:02:49,494 --> 00:02:52,494
Speaker 1: She also spoke briefly about needing to continue with her

47
00:02:52,494 --> 00:02:55,654
Speaker 1: many duties while going through this struggle. Privately, she said

48
00:02:55,694 --> 00:02:58,294
Speaker 1: the world doesn't know what's happening and that in the quiet,

49
00:02:58,374 --> 00:03:01,054
Speaker 1: you're still trying to show up for people, adding those

50
00:03:01,094 --> 00:03:06,894
Speaker 1: things are huge medical scares. American biotech company Colossal Biosciences

51
00:03:06,934 --> 00:03:11,294
Speaker 1: says it has produced three one sixtinct wolves known as Direwolves.

52
00:03:11,614 --> 00:03:15,414
Speaker 1: They named them Romulus Ramus and CALLIESI, and are calling

53
00:03:15,454 --> 00:03:19,894
Speaker 1: it the world's first successfully de extinct animal. The breed

54
00:03:20,094 --> 00:03:23,654
Speaker 1: popularized in the HBO series Game of Thrones, has been

55
00:03:23,694 --> 00:03:28,454
Speaker 1: extinct for twelve five hundred years. In fact, George R. R.

56
00:03:28,494 --> 00:03:32,854
Speaker 1: Martin is an investor in colossal laboratories and biosciences. So

57
00:03:33,134 --> 00:03:35,734
Speaker 1: how did they do it? Scientists use the DNA of

58
00:03:35,814 --> 00:03:40,214
Speaker 1: a direwolf tooth and skull to identify twenty key genetic

59
00:03:40,214 --> 00:03:44,694
Speaker 1: differences between direwolves and their closest living species, gray wolves.

60
00:03:44,974 --> 00:03:48,254
Speaker 1: They then used crisper technology to cut the DNA and

61
00:03:48,494 --> 00:03:52,174
Speaker 1: edit the gray wolf genome to incorporate these twenty differences.

62
00:03:52,534 --> 00:03:55,694
Speaker 1: The genetic material was placed into an egg cell from

63
00:03:55,734 --> 00:03:59,574
Speaker 1: a domestic dog and then implanted into surrogate dogs. However,

64
00:03:59,934 --> 00:04:03,454
Speaker 1: since the announcement, some experts have poured cold water over

65
00:04:03,494 --> 00:04:08,014
Speaker 1: the news. Monash University's Emily Roycroft told the ABC the

66
00:04:08,054 --> 00:04:11,134
Speaker 1: pups are gray wolves with the editor genome, not a

67
00:04:11,174 --> 00:04:15,374
Speaker 1: dire wolf. Roycroft said, there are many factors that create direwolves,

68
00:04:15,414 --> 00:04:19,934
Speaker 1: including genetic, epigenetic and behavioral differences that we don't understand.

69
00:04:20,774 --> 00:04:24,414
Speaker 1: And that's your latest news headlines. On tomorrow's episode of

70
00:04:24,454 --> 00:04:27,174
Speaker 1: The Quickie, twenty three and Me have gone bankrupt and

71
00:04:27,214 --> 00:04:29,614
Speaker 1: is selling off data. So what does that mean for

72
00:04:29,654 --> 00:04:33,694
Speaker 1: their fifteen million strong customer base? And as season three

73
00:04:33,814 --> 00:04:36,294
Speaker 1: of The White Lotus wraps up, where are we headed

74
00:04:36,334 --> 00:04:39,294
Speaker 1: for Season four? Listen to The Quickie wherever you get
