Speaker 2: assess and it's leaving would be travelers and immigrants anxious.

7
00:00:35,574 --> 00:00:38,495

Speaker 1: Thanks Taylor. US President Donald Trump has pardoned his former

16
00:01:02,975 --> 00:01:06,815
Speaker 1: personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani and dozens of accused of backing

17
00:01:06,815 --> 00:01:10,815
Speaker 1: the Republican's efforts to overturn the twenty twenty election. Ed Martin,

18
00:01:10,855 --> 00:01:14,815
Speaker 1: the government's pardon attorney, posted on social media, assigned proclamation

19
00:01:14,895 --> 00:01:19,095
Speaker 1: of the full, complete and unconditional pardon of seventy seven people.

20
00:01:19,415 --> 00:01:22,535
Speaker 1: The list named Sidney Powell, a lawyer who promoted baseless

21
00:01:22,535 --> 00:01:26,375
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories about a stolen election, Trump's former chief of staff,

22
00:01:26,455 --> 00:01:29,735
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, and John Eastman, another lawyer who pushed a

23
00:01:29,775 --> 00:01:32,695
Speaker 1: plan to keep Trump in power. It follows the sweeping

24
00:01:32,775 --> 00:01:35,255
Speaker 1: pardons of the hundreds of Trump supporters charged in the

25
00:01:35,335 --> 00:01:38,175
Speaker 1: January sixth, twenty twenty one riot at the US Capitol,

26
00:01:38,455 --> 00:01:42,655
Speaker 1: including those convicted of attacking law enforcement, But presidential pardons

27
00:01:42,735 --> 00:01:45,655
Speaker 1: only apply to federal crimes, and none of the Trump

28
00:01:45,735 --> 00:01:48,695
Speaker 1: allies named on the list were charged in federal cases

29
00:01:48,775 --> 00:01:52,895
Speaker 1: over the twenty twenty election. The proclamation, posted online late Sunday,

30
00:01:52,935 --> 00:01:56,335
Speaker 1: explicitly says the pardon does not apply it to Trump himself.

31
00:01:56,895 --> 00:01:59,495
Speaker 1: Australia will pause at eleven am today to mark the

32

Speaker 1: fighting in World War One. Remembrance Day is used to

34
00:02:05,535 --> 00:02:08,775

Speaker 1: II in nineteen forty five. Ceremonies will be held at

37
00:02:14,575 --> 00:02:18,055
Speaker 1: memorials throughout the country. Prime Minister Anthony Albernizi will attend

38
00:02:18,055 --> 00:02:21,014
Speaker 1: the National Service at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra,

39
00:02:21,335 --> 00:02:24,454
Speaker 1: in a statement saying we remember every young Australian denied

40
00:02:24,495 --> 00:02:27,335
Speaker 1: the chance to grow old, and every Australian who came

41
00:02:27,415 --> 00:02:31,215
Speaker 1: home but never fully left the battle. Princess Anne spent

42
00:02:31,255 --> 00:02:33,575
Speaker 1: the day in Melbourne yesterday laying a wreath in honor

43
00:02:33,615 --> 00:02:36,695
Speaker 1: of the police officers killed in Poor Punker. The Princess

44
00:02:36,775 --> 00:02:38,895
Speaker 1: Royal is on a quick four day trip down Under

45
00:02:38,895 --> 00:02:41,454
Speaker 1: to mark the one hundredth anniversary of the Royal Australian

46
00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:44,375
Speaker 1: Corps of Signals or RACS, of which she is the

47
00:02:44,415 --> 00:02:47,015
Speaker 1: Colonel in chief. After laying the wreath in honor of

48
00:02:47,015 --> 00:02:50,895
Speaker 1: Detective Leading Senior Constable Neil Thompson and Senior Constable Vadim

49
00:02:50,935 --> 00:02:54,055
Speaker 1: de Vaud Hotheart and met with the officer's friends and family,

50
00:02:54,415 --> 00:02:57,255
Speaker 1: the Princess then visited the Simpson Barracks to inspect the

51
00:02:57,295 --> 00:03:02,015
Speaker 1: Court Guard before learning about RACS training and equipment. Robert

52
00:03:02,055 --> 00:03:04,735
Speaker 1: Irwin has named a new arrival at Australia Zoo after

53
00:03:04,735 --> 00:03:07,535
Speaker 1: his dancing with the star's partner. The Zoo posted a

54
00:03:07,575 --> 00:03:09,935
Speaker 1: picture of the pair on social media, with Robert holding

55
00:03:10,015 --> 00:03:12,615
Speaker 1: up a photo of the Marsupial on his phone telling

56
00:03:12,615 --> 00:03:16,055
Speaker 1: his partner Whitney Carson that they have a beautiful baby wallaby.

57
00:03:16,295 --> 00:03:19,695
Speaker 1: She's absolutely gorgeous and he wanted to introduce her to Whitney.

58
00:03:19,735 --> 00:03:22,855
Speaker 1: The wallaby. Irwin, after telling Whitney that the wallaby looks

59
00:03:22,895 --> 00:03:25,935
Speaker 1: so much like her it's uncanny, extended an invitation for

60
00:03:25,975 --> 00:03:28,135
Speaker 1: her to come to Australia to meet and take care

61
00:03:28,175 --> 00:03:29,015
Speaker 1: of her namesake.

62
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:30,535
Speaker 3: Thanks clad Next.

63
00:03:30,775 --> 00:03:34,255
Speaker 2: Trump's latest orders that could get you stopped at the border.

64
00:03:39,775 --> 00:03:42,415
Speaker 2: If you've been planning a trip to the USA or

65
00:03:42,495 --> 00:03:46,135
Speaker 2: thinking about making the move, get ready. The Trump administration

66
00:03:46,455 --> 00:03:50,535
Speaker 2: just announced a sweeping expansion of visa requirements, and it's

67
00:03:50,615 --> 00:03:57,615
Speaker 2: causing controversy for foreigners worldwide. Here's what's changed. Visa officers

68
00:03:57,655 --> 00:04:01,095
Speaker 2: at US embassy's and consulates have been instructed to evaluate

69
00:04:01,135 --> 00:04:05,335
Speaker 2: applicants for far more than communicable diseases or vaccine history.

70
00:04:06,055 --> 00:04:09,815
Speaker 2: Now anyone applying may be assessed for chronic disease, things

71
00:04:09,895 --> 00:04:15,495
Speaker 2: like diabetes, heart disease, obesity, cancer, neurological and mental health conditions,

72
00:04:16,135 --> 00:04:20,174
Speaker 2: even sleep, apnia, and high blood pressure. It's the first

73
00:04:20,214 --> 00:04:23,775
Speaker 2: time these have been listed as possible grounds for denial.

74
00:04:24,335 --> 00:04:27,974
Speaker 2: The guidelines say people with certain illnesses or disabilities could

75
00:04:28,055 --> 00:04:31,535
Speaker 2: be a public charge, meaning they might use hundreds of

76
00:04:31,575 --> 00:04:35,055
Speaker 2: thousands of dollars worth of care and drain US resources.

77
00:04:36,375 --> 00:04:39,775
Speaker 2: So if you don't have adequate financial resources to cover

78
00:04:39,895 --> 00:04:42,695
Speaker 2: care for your entire expected lifespan.

79
00:04:42,615 --> 00:04:43,495
Speaker 3: You may be denied.

80
00:04:44,255 --> 00:04:48,295
Speaker 2: Visa Officers are also asked to assess family members, that's children,

81
00:04:48,495 --> 00:04:52,415
Speaker 2: older parents, anyone who might have additional care needs, including

82
00:04:52,455 --> 00:04:56,094
Speaker 2: dependencies that could impact your ability to work in the US.

83
00:04:56,655 --> 00:04:59,415
Speaker 2: We know about these changes thanks to US based health

84
00:04:59,455 --> 00:05:03,455
Speaker 2: publication KFF Health News, who first broke the story after

85
00:05:03,495 --> 00:05:06,695
Speaker 2: assessing a cable issued in these States Department that was

86
00:05:06,735 --> 00:05:10,775
Speaker 2: sent to embassy and consular officials. Legal experts say it's

87
00:05:10,855 --> 00:05:14,775
Speaker 2: most likely to impact those seeking permanent residency, not tourists

88
00:05:14,815 --> 00:05:18,375
Speaker 2: or business travelers, but the language is vague enough that

89
00:05:18,575 --> 00:05:22,375
Speaker 2: no applicant can be really sure. A big red flag

90
00:05:22,415 --> 00:05:25,695
Speaker 2: here is that visa officers who are not doctors or

91
00:05:25,775 --> 00:05:29,054
Speaker 2: medically trained are now being asked to make judgments about

92
00:05:29,055 --> 00:05:33,055
Speaker 2: future medical risks, costs, or ability to find employment in

93
00:05:33,095 --> 00:05:37,094
Speaker 2: the US. The guidance stresses that age is also a factor.

94
00:05:37,535 --> 00:05:40,455
Speaker 2: Older applicants could be viewed as more likely to need

95
00:05:40,535 --> 00:05:44,495
Speaker 2: long term care and thus a potential drain on US

96
00:05:44,615 --> 00:05:49,534
Speaker 2: public funds. Advocates warn this risk's bias and speculation, and

97
00:05:49,735 --> 00:05:53,055
Speaker 2: doesn't match the US Foreign Affairs Manual, which forbids denying

98
00:05:53,135 --> 00:05:57,735
Speaker 2: visas based on what if scenarios. Immigration lawyers argue it's

99
00:05:57,775 --> 00:06:01,214
Speaker 2: an expansion of public charge rules, a clever loophole that

100
00:06:01,295 --> 00:06:04,534
Speaker 2: allows officers to block immigration for those they think might

101
00:06:04,575 --> 00:06:08,815
Speaker 2: cost the US money. Others worry it'll discriminate against people

102
00:06:08,935 --> 00:06:12,614
Speaker 2: with common and treatable conditions and will make the US

103
00:06:12,695 --> 00:06:17,295
Speaker 2: even harder to access for older, unwell or disabled individuals

104
00:06:17,615 --> 00:06:23,255
Speaker 2: and their families. Now, if you're thinking only in America, well.

105
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:24,375
Speaker 3: That's technically not true.

106
00:06:24,855 --> 00:06:28,535
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty two, New Zealand rejected a man's residency

107
00:06:28,775 --> 00:06:32,895
Speaker 2: due to his weight. Mexican comedian Edel Rivera spoke to

108
00:06:32,935 --> 00:06:36,415
Speaker 2: local news saying despite his doctors giving him the green check,

109
00:06:36,815 --> 00:06:40,415
Speaker 2: he was told to shed the kegs or risk being deported.

110
00:06:40,975 --> 00:06:43,854
Speaker 3: My fear now with immigration is that I don't know

111
00:06:43,855 --> 00:06:45,975
Speaker 3: which number it is, but I don't get to the

112
00:06:46,055 --> 00:06:49,015
Speaker 3: number that they want and then they say bye, that's

113
00:06:49,055 --> 00:06:49,815
Speaker 3: it deported.

114
00:06:49,975 --> 00:06:52,935
Speaker 2: Yeah, for being too fat in their eyes yep, how

115
00:06:52,975 --> 00:06:53,614
Speaker 2: does that feel?

116
00:06:54,175 --> 00:06:54,615
Speaker 3: Horrible?

117
00:06:57,495 --> 00:07:02,214
Speaker 2: As they say, with fashion, most trends eventually come back around.

118
00:07:03,215 --> 00:07:05,295
Speaker 2: And for those of us out there who lived through

119
00:07:05,295 --> 00:07:08,815
Speaker 2: the all constricting times of the skinny jean, my friends,

120
00:07:09,495 --> 00:07:10,055
Speaker 2: they're back.

121
00:07:11,695 --> 00:07:11,935
Speaker 3: Now.

122
00:07:11,975 --> 00:07:15,055
Speaker 2: Before you panic about thigh circulation being cut off and

123
00:07:15,135 --> 00:07:17,855
Speaker 2: having to peel those denim chastity belt like pants off

124
00:07:17,855 --> 00:07:21,895
Speaker 2: your body again, there's some relief in sight. The return

125
00:07:21,935 --> 00:07:25,255
Speaker 2: of skinny jeans is upon us, yes, but not how

126
00:07:25,295 --> 00:07:28,015
Speaker 2: we once knew them. The twenty twenty five take on

127
00:07:28,095 --> 00:07:31,455
Speaker 2: styling the skinny jean has gen z written all over it,

128
00:07:31,855 --> 00:07:35,335
Speaker 2: from being slightly looser around the ankles to relaxed hems,

129
00:07:35,495 --> 00:07:38,615
Speaker 2: darker washes and what we're actually styling our genes with

130
00:07:39,135 --> 00:07:43,375
Speaker 2: It's skinny jeans, but with some comfy updates. Mumu MEAs

131
00:07:43,415 --> 00:07:45,975
Speaker 2: fashion podcast Nothing to Wear has had to look into

132
00:07:46,055 --> 00:07:49,855
Speaker 2: the next phase of denim trends post Listender Picket and

133
00:07:49,935 --> 00:07:51,615
Speaker 2: Chelsea Hoy have the story.

134
00:07:53,055 --> 00:07:55,575
Speaker 4: I do encourage people, unless you really know you're not

135
00:07:55,575 --> 00:07:57,575
Speaker 4: gonna wear it, hold on to things because we are

136
00:07:57,615 --> 00:08:00,455
Speaker 4: seeing I think now with social media how fast these

137
00:08:00,495 --> 00:08:04,895
Speaker 4: trends are moving. I'm actually doing a trend forecast. For

138
00:08:04,935 --> 00:08:07,335
Speaker 4: an Australian denim bran at the moment. So this isn't

139
00:08:07,375 --> 00:08:08,855
Speaker 4: really it's such a good.

140
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:09,375
Speaker 3: Time right now.

141
00:08:09,415 --> 00:08:12,015
Speaker 4: It's long range forecasting, so looking at next year, what

142
00:08:12,095 --> 00:08:15,135
Speaker 4: are these trends going to be. It's an educated guess

143
00:08:15,175 --> 00:08:18,535
Speaker 4: on what these trends will be. You're just looking historically

144
00:08:18,615 --> 00:08:20,655
Speaker 4: at those cycles and what you can predict.

145
00:08:20,735 --> 00:08:24,055
Speaker 3: So things like the distressed people say, is skinny back

146
00:08:24,095 --> 00:08:24,535
Speaker 3: in his skin?

147
00:08:24,655 --> 00:08:26,975
Speaker 4: Oh no, like all the millennials are screaming inside, is

148
00:08:27,015 --> 00:08:28,375
Speaker 4: skinny back in none of them?

149
00:08:28,415 --> 00:08:30,015
Speaker 3: Isn't necessarily going anywhere.

150
00:08:30,015 --> 00:08:33,455
Speaker 4: It's just what's going to be. I guess pushed more

151
00:08:33,495 --> 00:08:37,535
Speaker 4: through wholesalers and desires like skinny jeans, spray on jeans

152
00:08:38,895 --> 00:08:39,375
Speaker 4: are around.

153
00:08:39,415 --> 00:08:41,694
Speaker 3: But yeh, skinny's definitely a big trend as well.

154
00:08:42,095 --> 00:08:43,815
Speaker 5: I can't say I'm happy I found that one.

155
00:08:44,575 --> 00:08:46,735
Speaker 4: I feel like anyone who's like a cool fashion girl

156
00:08:46,735 --> 00:08:48,855
Speaker 4: could wear any shape of gene.

157
00:08:48,895 --> 00:08:50,495
Speaker 3: It's just how they're styling it.

158
00:08:50,775 --> 00:08:54,695
Speaker 5: I agree with that, Yeah, I think personally also, like

159
00:08:55,295 --> 00:08:57,295
Speaker 5: I talk about this way too much on this podcast,

160
00:08:57,575 --> 00:09:04,054
Speaker 5: but I have sensitive stomach. Skinny jeans are my worst nightmare.

161
00:09:04,615 --> 00:09:06,655
Speaker 5: They are I don't think are supposed to be that tight.

162
00:09:06,735 --> 00:09:09,535
Speaker 5: So when we had like obviously loose fitting pant white

163
00:09:09,575 --> 00:09:12,135
Speaker 5: leg jeans coming back in, that's that's like my dream.

164
00:09:12,335 --> 00:09:14,775
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, well, jin, I love a skinny jean. I

165
00:09:14,775 --> 00:09:15,975
Speaker 3: know what you mean. They can be tight. And the

166
00:09:16,054 --> 00:09:17,615
Speaker 3: jeans I was wearing last time on this part, I

167
00:09:17,615 --> 00:09:18,295
Speaker 3: had the top button.

168
00:09:18,335 --> 00:09:21,135
Speaker 4: I'm done, so they are tight, but I do love

169
00:09:21,215 --> 00:09:23,415
Speaker 4: I just think how they're styled now. So I think

170
00:09:23,495 --> 00:09:26,255
Speaker 4: millennials back in the day would wear skinny spray on

171
00:09:26,335 --> 00:09:30,495
Speaker 4: jeans with an ankle boot and then a tight top

172
00:09:30,655 --> 00:09:33,375
Speaker 4: and there was just no proportion or silhouette in that outfit.

173
00:09:33,455 --> 00:09:36,655
Speaker 4: So I think if you're doing a skinny jean, I

174
00:09:36,695 --> 00:09:38,975
Speaker 4: don't mind it with like a sumber. I think whatever

175
00:09:39,054 --> 00:09:42,334
Speaker 4: shoe you're wearing changes the whole shape and silhouette of

176
00:09:42,375 --> 00:09:44,815
Speaker 4: the outfit. But just having a bit more oversize on top,

177
00:09:44,935 --> 00:09:48,175
Speaker 4: so an Oxford shirt or the oversized jackets something like

178
00:09:48,215 --> 00:09:50,694
Speaker 4: that to balance out the skinniness.

179
00:09:50,255 --> 00:09:50,775
Speaker 3: Of the jean.

180
00:09:50,935 --> 00:09:53,535
Speaker 4: So if you are a millennial listening and you think, oh,

181
00:09:53,615 --> 00:09:55,975
Speaker 4: I don't want to touch skinny, just try playing with

182
00:09:56,015 --> 00:09:57,934
Speaker 4: the different balances of proportions.

183
00:09:59,615 --> 00:10:02,015
