WEBVTT - Headlines: Monthly inflation steady at 2.5%

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.040
<v Speaker 1>From the Daily os i'm Emma, i'm zara. It's Wednesday,

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 1>the twenty sixth of February. Here's what's making headlines this season.

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Prices rose by two point five percent in the year

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 2>to January. That's according to new figures from the Australian

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Bureau of Statistics. The figure is the same inflation rate

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:27.160
<v Speaker 2>reported for the year to December twenty twenty four. However,

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 2>the annual trimmed mean, which is the rate of inflation

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 2>once you remove extreme price changes on either side, increased

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.559
<v Speaker 2>from two point seven percent to two point eight percent.

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 2>This is still in the target inflation range of two

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 2>to three percent that was set by the IRBA. These

0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:45.480
<v Speaker 2>inflation figures are measured on a monthly basis, which means

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.520
<v Speaker 2>it is a more up to date account of rising

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 2>prices than the quarterly figure, which reflects broader trends.

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>A review into the handling of sexual assault cases in

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>New South Wales has made no findings of misconduct or

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>features within the justice system. The state's top prosecutor ordered

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the audit last year after some judges publicly claimed cases

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>were not being adequately scrutinized before going to trial. The

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Sexual Assault Review examined three hundred and twenty seven cases

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 1>listed for trial in New South Wales last year. A

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>final report handed down today shows around five percent of

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>cases were dropped before trial. The report noted that this

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>was consistent with average figures from twenty eighteen to twenty

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty three. It said the discontinued matters involved particularly legally

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:37.319
<v Speaker 1>and factually complex issues. The review found a quote consistently

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>high standard of legal analysis concerning the question of whether

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>to proceed with sexual offense prosecutions.

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Apple shareholders have rejected a proposal to end the Tech

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Giants Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Program. A push led by

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 2>US President Donald Trump for employers to scrap DEI has

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>seen Meta, Amazon, and Google rollback there DEI efforts. In

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 2>recent weeks, conservative think tank the National Center for Public

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Policy Research urged Apple to do the same. It argued

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>that DEI poses quote litigation, reputational and financial risks to

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 2>companies and their shareholders. However, ninety seven percent of ballots

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>voted against the proposal after an Apple shareholder meeting on Tuesday.

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Apple's board of directors also opposed the proposal, saying the

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 2>company does not discriminate in recruiting, hiring, training, or promoting

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 2>on any basis protected by law.

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>And today's good news. Surgeons in the US have successfully

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>implanted the world's smallest pacemaker in a newborn. A team

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>of NYU pediatric cardiologists led the seventy five minute breakthrough

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 1>procedure on baby Mikey Oliveri, who was born prematurely in

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>December with a rare heart condition. There have been very

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>few treatment options for babies like Mikey until now, as

0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the number of newborns with heart complications is so low.

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Hospital staff said. Mikey is now thriving at home two

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>months after receiving his new specially modified pacemaker. The American

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.359
<v Speaker 1>Heart Association said the device addresses a vital unmet need

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>for these small patients.

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 2>That's all we've got from the Dahiel's newsroom today. If

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 2>you are looking for something else, though, to listen to

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 2>make sure you catch up on today's deep dive on

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.640
<v Speaker 2>the trial over Cassius Turvey's death. We'll be back again

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.760
