0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>From the Daily os.

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm Zara, I'm Sam.

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>It's Tuesday, the third of December. Here's what's making headlines

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>this evening.

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Australia's Communications watchdog or AKMA, has been tasked with developing

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:22.279
<v Speaker 2>a register of legitimate business's phone numbers to cut down

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 2>on scam texts. Communications Minister Michelle Rowland says the Federal

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Government has asked AKMA to set up the register so

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:33.560
<v Speaker 2>that scammers can't mimic real businesses text messages to customers.

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Before sending text to customers, companies are going to have

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 2>to register the number they use to send messages. Any

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.199
<v Speaker 2>messages sent on behalf of that company would have to

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 2>be verified by telco's like Telstra and Optus against this register,

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:47.879
<v Speaker 2>and if they don't match it, they're going to be

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 2>blocked or have an attached warning.

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Victorian Premier Jacindra Allen has responded to the Business Council

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>of Australia ranking the state the worst in the country

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>for businesses. Instead, she said more and more businesses are

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.960
<v Speaker 1>choosing Victoria as a place to invest in record numbers.

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>This morning, the Peak body released its annual report that

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>compares Australia's states and territories based on the ease and

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>cost of running a business. It said South Australia has

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the best regulatory and tax settings for doing business in Australia,

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>while comparatively, Victoria's rate of taxes on land and how

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>much businesses have to pay in workers comp means the

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>state has the most to do in improving its business environment.

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>At a press conference this morning, Premier Allen said the

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>report was incomplete and that Victoria's businesses have accessed to

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>a strong skilled workforce and low energy prices.

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Hesbula and Israel have accused each other of breaking a

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 2>ceasefire less than a week after it was signed. However,

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 2>White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby said the

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 2>ceasefire is largely holding. He said the strikes are to

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>be expected after over a year of war and maintains

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>there is a mechanism in place to try and stop

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 2>the attacks and these authorities report Israel's strikes have killed

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 2>at least nine people. Under the agreement, both Israel and

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Hesbela are required to gradually retreat from their current positions

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:15.799
<v Speaker 2>in southern Lebanon, allowing the Lebanese Army to secure the area, and.

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Today's good news. Researchers at the University of Iowa have

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>found that a set of drugs used to treat heart

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>disease may slow the onset of Huntington's disease, which is

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>a genetic condition. Symptoms of Huntington's disease includes lack of

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>control over one's body and changes inability to think. It

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>most frequently begins when people are in their thirties and

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>has no cure. In a long term study published in

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the academic journal Jarma Neurology, researchers found that taking beta

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>blockers was associated with the diseases symptoms developing later in

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>life and worsening at a slower rate when they did appear.

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:51.919
<v Speaker 2>And that's all we've got for you from the Daily

<v Speaker 2>chat with an AFP commander about the record hall of

<v Speaker 2>cocaine they intercept it off the coast of Queensland and

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>how that will change the organized crime and drug landscape
