1 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: From the Daily os i'm Emma, i'm zara. It's Wednesday, 2 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: the twenty sixth of February. Here's what's making headlines this season. 3 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 2: Prices rose by two point five percent in the year 4 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 2: to January. That's according to new figures from the Australian 5 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 2: Bureau of Statistics. The figure is the same inflation rate 6 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 2: reported for the year to December twenty twenty four. However, 7 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 2: the annual trimmed mean, which is the rate of inflation 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: once you remove extreme price changes on either side, increased 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 2: from two point seven percent to two point eight percent. 10 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 2: This is still in the target inflation range of two 11 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 2: to three percent that was set by the IRBA. These 12 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 2: inflation figures are measured on a monthly basis, which means 13 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 2: it is a more up to date account of rising 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: prices than the quarterly figure, which reflects broader trends. 15 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: A review into the handling of sexual assault cases in 16 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: New South Wales has made no findings of misconduct or 17 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: features within the justice system. The state's top prosecutor ordered 18 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: the audit last year after some judges publicly claimed cases 19 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: were not being adequately scrutinized before going to trial. The 20 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: Sexual Assault Review examined three hundred and twenty seven cases 21 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: listed for trial in New South Wales last year. A 22 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: final report handed down today shows around five percent of 23 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: cases were dropped before trial. The report noted that this 24 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: was consistent with average figures from twenty eighteen to twenty 25 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: twenty three. It said the discontinued matters involved particularly legally 26 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: and factually complex issues. The review found a quote consistently 27 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: high standard of legal analysis concerning the question of whether 28 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: to proceed with sexual offense prosecutions. 29 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: Apple shareholders have rejected a proposal to end the Tech 30 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: Giants Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Program. A push led by 31 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: US President Donald Trump for employers to scrap DEI has 32 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: seen Meta, Amazon, and Google rollback there DEI efforts. In 33 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: recent weeks, conservative think tank the National Center for Public 34 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: Policy Research urged Apple to do the same. It argued 35 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: that DEI poses quote litigation, reputational and financial risks to 36 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: companies and their shareholders. However, ninety seven percent of ballots 37 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: voted against the proposal after an Apple shareholder meeting on Tuesday. 38 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: Apple's board of directors also opposed the proposal, saying the 39 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: company does not discriminate in recruiting, hiring, training, or promoting 40 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: on any basis protected by law. 41 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: And today's good news. Surgeons in the US have successfully 42 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: implanted the world's smallest pacemaker in a newborn. A team 43 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: of NYU pediatric cardiologists led the seventy five minute breakthrough 44 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: procedure on baby Mikey Oliveri, who was born prematurely in 45 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: December with a rare heart condition. There have been very 46 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: few treatment options for babies like Mikey until now, as 47 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: the number of newborns with heart complications is so low. 48 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: Hospital staff said. Mikey is now thriving at home two 49 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: months after receiving his new specially modified pacemaker. The American 50 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: Heart Association said the device addresses a vital unmet need 51 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: for these small patients. 52 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: That's all we've got from the Dahiel's newsroom today.
