1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,680 Speaker 1: Finally, this afternoon. This is a very cool story. A 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: musician has taught an octopus to play the piano. Just 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: picture that for a second. Musician teaches octopus piano. The 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: octopus's name is taka Yaki, and his owner, Matteas, built 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: him a custom keyboard. The keyboard feeds him crabs, yummy 6 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: delicious crabs if he hits the right notes. Here's a 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: brief duet. This is Matthaeas on the guitar and Takayuki 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 1: on the keys. That go good, amazing, very cool. Could 9 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: probably play many pianos at one time, couldn't you if 10 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: you're an octopus. 11 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 2: Right. 12 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: Let's go to Jonathan Keresley, our US correspondent, Jonathan. Welcome 13 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: to the show, Ryan. 14 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: I want to hear that octopus player six string guitar. 15 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: It's very cool. I mean, look, anything's poss Hey, what 16 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: are the Americans thinking of the Australian because it's getting 17 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: loads of international press of the Aussie's social media band today. 18 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's getting loads of attention right around the world. 19 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 3: I mean you've already seen the likes of Denmark and 20 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 3: Norway and France of the European. 21 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: Union essentially, so they want to look at this and 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: try and find a way to introduce it in their 23 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: own countries, their own block of countries Here in the 24 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 2: United States, Well, it's been intensive coverage across the major 25 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 2: US networks, all casting a very keen eye on what 26 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: is happening in Australia, what is happening with this ban 27 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: on social media for under sixteens, and whether or not 28 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 2: it's going to be effective. Some states here have tried 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 2: similar restrictions on social media for younger people and it 30 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: hasn't exactly worked. Today we heard from Rama Manuel, who's 31 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: a White House Chief of Staff under the Obama administration. 32 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: He's widely seen as somebody who could put his head 33 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: in the ring for the Democratic presidential nomination for twenty 34 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: twenty eight. He said today that the United States needs 35 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: to follow Australia his suit that essentially it needs to 36 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: be a national ban here people. I was out speaking 37 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: to all this roats here in California today. Well it 38 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 2: was mixed. I mean there were some people who are 39 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: essentially saying, yeah, look it's a great idea, or others 40 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 2: saying it's an impingement on the First Amendment right, it's 41 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: a freedom of speech and that is the argument that 42 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 2: the tech giants put forward. So many of them are 43 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: based here in the United States, so many of them 44 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: pushed back against the Australia ban. And it's going to 45 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: be interesting to see which way this goes. 46 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: It certainly is. Now Trump's talking up the economy. He's 47 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania doing a big rally there is he. 48 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been in Pennsylvania. An interesting thing amount in 49 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 3: about because he hasn't done this a lot, essentially back 50 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 3: on the campaign trail. Midterms are coming up at the 51 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: end of next year, and he's trying to water down 52 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 3: the arguments the criticism on him over the economy, and 53 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 3: essentially what he's been out doing today is saying that 54 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: this is a fault of the Democrat's fault of previous administrations. 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: The word affordability is a democratic con He's trying to 56 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 3: count the arguments and saying inflation is low, prices are 57 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 3: coming down, but voters will have their say at the 58 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: ballot and the midterms in November, and that's what his 59 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 3: eyes are on. He's trying to save House seats, trying 60 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: to save Senate seats and keep Republicans in control. 61 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: Now finally Pamela Anderson. There were those rumors they had 62 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: did the movie together, and they did the promotion of 63 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: the movie together, and there were the rumors that they 64 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: were having some sort of a fear that they were 65 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: having a relationship, some sort of romance. Is she now, 66 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: and they sort of said or not, But now is 67 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: she saying that they did? 68 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: Well, pardon me for a moment there, Well, I clean 69 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 3: my throat. 70 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, she's given an interview essentially saying that they had 71 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 4: an intimate week after they had finished filming, that they 72 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 4: lived together for that period of a week, that they 73 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 4: had a brief encounter together if you like. I mean, 74 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 4: we all remember those pictures of very very chummy during 75 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 4: the press tour. But it was seen this wonderful news 76 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 4: at the time. Everybody loves a happy news story and 77 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 4: a bit of romance in the world. 78 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 5: Why not, It makes everybody feel better. And Liam Mason 79 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 5: and Pammy Anderson, well, you couldn't be happier for the 80 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 5: pair of them. But she's she yes, set confirmed that 81 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 5: they they had a beat brief relationship after filming stopped 82 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 5: on the project they worked together on, but said that 83 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 5: they were better suited as friends. So look, I think 84 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 5: everybody wishes them all the best, and who knows, maybe 85 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 5: Liam Mason will receives the more bread from Pamela Anderson 86 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 5: because I think she said at the time that she 87 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 5: was baking bread for him. 88 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: Ah, is that a euphemism? Is that what they call 89 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: it these days? 90 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 3: No, that's legitimately baking bread. I think she was legitimately 91 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 3: baking bread. I don't know whether she intended it is 92 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: a euphemism, but he certainly said that the bread that 93 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 3: she baked was delicious.
