WEBVTT - Celebrating Aussie success at the ARIAs

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Already and this is the this is the daily this

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>is the Daily OS. Oh, now it makes sense. Good

0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:18.079
<v Speaker 1>morning and welcome to the Daily Oas it is Saturday,

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the twenty third November. I'm Sam, I'm Zara. Happy Saturday, everybody,

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and welcome to another episode of our good News podcasts Zara.

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of good news to get through today,

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to bring a smile, good problem to happen. I know

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>it is that great good news overwhelmed. Why don't we

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>talk about that more? Yeah, why don't we start with

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.200
<v Speaker 1>a really important peace prize that's given out every year?

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I loved coming across this story and it's

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 2>that for twenty years, an organization called Kids' Rights has

0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 2>awarded the International Children's Peace Prize. I hadn't heard of it,

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 2>but have loved learning about it. And this year it

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 2>went to a seventeen year old Afghan woman, her name

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 2>is Nila Ibrahmi, for her work amplifying the voices of

0:00:59.200 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Afghan girl.

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>So to put that in perspective, that means she was

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>one in two thousand and seven, which is pretty crazy.

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 2>And my god, has she done a lot in her

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:11.119
<v Speaker 2>very young life. She fled Afghanistan with her family after

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 2>the Taliban retook Coble in August of twenty twenty one,

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>and she now lives in Canada. Back in twenty twenty three,

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.839
<v Speaker 2>she founded something called her Story, and it's an online

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>platform for Afghan women and girls to share their personal

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>stories and their experiences. And I mean, I don't think

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 2>I need to tell anyone why that's so significant, but

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.760
<v Speaker 2>just as a bit of a recap, since taking power,

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 2>the Taliban has imposed many, many restrictions specifically on women

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 2>and girls in the country. You know, they've banned them

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 2>from high schools, from universities, from most forms of employment.

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Most recently, on the pod, we spoke about that women's

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 2>faces and bodies now need to be fully covered in public,

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>and that they're not allowed to use their voices outside

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 2>their home. And so here we have a really young

0:01:55.640 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>girl who has founded an online platform where that is possible,

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 2>where women and girls can have their voices heard in

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 2>the digital space.

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>And I love these stories because we do spend a

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of time, especially at the moment, talking about the

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>bad side of the internet. But here is an example

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>of how the internet can really democratize this sort of

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>exposure to stories.

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>One hundred percent and after winning the award, Ibrahimi said,

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 2>the voices of Afghan women and girls will echo across

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 2>the world. We must all continue to give them strength

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 2>and hope in the darkest of times.

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>An amazing story and an amazing award given out to

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:32.079
<v Speaker 1>some clear you know, people who are doing amazing things now.

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>But imagine what she's going to do in the decades

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>to come. Now, let's send to sport. I am particularly

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.640
<v Speaker 1>excited today because it is the start of the Australian

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Test cricket summer that started yesterday. But we're not talking

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 1>about cricket. We're talking about soccer. We are.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I actually have two good news sports stories for today.

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 2>So the first is that for the very first time

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 2>ever an Australian national soccer team has won a World Cup.

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>And they said it couldn't happen.

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Did you know that? So this week the Para Matilda's

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>one the Cerebral Palsy World Cup and retained their spot

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 2>at the top of the global rankings. The Para Matilda's

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.519
<v Speaker 2>scored six goals to defeat the US six to two

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 2>at the finals.

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.799
<v Speaker 1>Take that that's always sweet anything.

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Team captain and goalkeeper Caitlin Smith scored three of Australia's

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>goals from across the.

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Field goalkeeper superstar.

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>So the team secured their spot in the finals with

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 2>at ten neil victory over Denmark and didn't lose a

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 2>match through the entire group stage. I mean, that's a

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 2>pretty clear winning streak from the Ossies. And just to

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>paint a bit more of a picture as to what

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>this competition is. CP football is open to athletes with

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 2>cerebral palsy or an acquired brain injury and the World

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Cup for both the men's and the women's game were

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 2>held in Spain this month and it was our Ossie

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>girls that took it home.

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>You promised me two stories though, so we've got the

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>CP World Cup of Victors. I'll be running with that

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 1>one for a little while. Bring me another one.

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 2>So this week it was announced that next year's NRLW season,

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 2>So that's the Women's NRL League. It's been confirmed to

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 2>be its biggest ever on record, so it has twelve teams,

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>an eleven weeks regular season and a three week final series.

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>For the first time, the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs will field

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>a women's side, while the new Zealand Warriors are returning

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>to the competition after a few years away. Every club

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 2>will have at least one night where the women's and

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>men's games will be played back to back, which I

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of love.

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a fantastic initiative where you can go with

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>friends and family and see both the men's and women's

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>teams playing on the same night. Zara, We've got two

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>more good news stories to get through. Where are you

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>taking me in the world now?

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>So don't even know if this is really a good story,

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 2>but I just thought that it was funny.

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Which is actually how all good stories start.

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So it turns out that Italian authorities have intercepted

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>eight million euros, so that's about thirteen million Australian dollars

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 2>worth of artifacts that were headed for the black market.

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 2>So two thieves are alleged to have begun digging up

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 2>the artifacts near Farmland and in the region of Umbria.

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 2>And these artifacts included things like urns and beauty products.

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>One thing that was found was a perfume bottles that

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Reuter's reported still smells of the original scent. But the

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 2>reason that I think this story is so funny is

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 2>that local art police, which I must say feels like

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 2>a uniquely European proposition. They were tipped off about the

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 2>thieves because the thieves started posting some of the artifacts

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:28.159
<v Speaker 2>on Facebook marketplace trying to find buyers, and they somehow

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.479
<v Speaker 2>through that were able to intercept this huge ring of

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 2>black market artifact selling.

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>We're very much in favor of the internet today. I mean,

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 1>I know a couple of.

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean there's you know, we've had news of a

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 2>social media band. We've had so much I was just

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 2>trying to balance it out a bit today.

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I just love the image of some thieves digging up

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Nana's garden looking for artifacts that she's clearly buried at

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the back underneath the famous olive tree. I know, too good, Zara,

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>let's take her back home now. To finish off with

0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 1>it was aria Awards this week week for Australian music.

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, I mean, I think that it's really nice

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 2>when we get to take a moment to celebrate homegrown

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 2>talent and the ARIAS has no shortage of inspiration and

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 2>great news stories. I think there were two moments of

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 2>the night that I wanted to highlight to take us

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 2>out for the day. So the first was that we

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>saw a record number of First Nations artists nominated for

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 2>an ARI Award. I believe there were twenty two First

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Nations people who were nominated, and some of those First

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Nations performers took home trophies across multiple categories, things like

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.479
<v Speaker 2>Best Country Album, Best Hip Hop Rap Release, and Best

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Adult Contemporary Album. The list of First Nations winners included Nookie,

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Angus Field and Dallas Woods of three Percent, the hip

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 2>hop band Troy Cassa Daily and Emily wore Amara. And

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 2>I think that for an Australian Awards night, this is

0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 2>just such a good sign that we are recognizing and

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 2>highlighting the incredible work of First Nations artists.

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Especially when there's been a bit of chatter in music

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 1>circles about how hard it is to break into a

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>local market now with how easy it is to listen

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to American artists and kaya that's really really good to see.

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 1>And then there's always one induction into the Hall of Fame.

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 2>This is actually just becoming a Missy Higgins fan podcast.

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>But we did speak about this story a little while

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 2>ago when the ARIA did announce that it was going

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 2>to induct Higgins into the Hall of Fame, and I

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>mentioned at the time the reason that they were giving

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>it to her was that they said that Missy Higgins's

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 2>music had been cited as a formative influence by two

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>generations of Australian singer songwriters, and we spoke about that

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 2>at the time. But what I loved most at the

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 2>ARIA Awards, and you actually alerted me to this, was

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 2>when Missy Higgins got up on stage. She performed a

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 2>medley of all her biggest hits and then foot scar

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 2>which is the biggest banger of all. She was joined

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 2>by a number of other Aussie superstars, people like Amy Shark,

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 2>g Flip, Angie McMahon and Greta Ray, and all of

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 2>these people have spoken about the influence of Missy Higgins

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 2>on their own crafts and it was so heartwarming. It

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 2>was so beautiful. You know, as you said, we so

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 2>often fixate on these internet national superstars when we've got

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 2>so many of them here at home, and I wanted

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>to just take out this podcast with when all of

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 2>these thing has got up and asked the crowd to

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 2>sing the last chorus to Scarf, I'll leave it at

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 2>that and ask you all to have a wonderful weekend.

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I hope it is filled with sunshine wherever you might

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 2>be listening. We'll be back again on Monday morning, but

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 2>until then, have a lovely weekend.

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>My name is Lily Madden and I'm a proud Arunda
