0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:44.280
<v Speaker 2>contested for the role by Senator Derinda Cox. Speaking to

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>media after her election, Senator Waters said she was thrilled

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:49.760
<v Speaker 2>to take on the role and that she would seek

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.199
<v Speaker 2>to take strong action on the climate crisis and to

<v Speaker 1>which the Hamas run Health Ministry says killed at least

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.759
<v Speaker 1>eighty people, a quarter of whom were children. The United

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>of khn Unis twice in twenty four hours, where a

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:18.960
<v Speaker 1>team from the World Health Organization were working. The IDF

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>has accused Hamas of using hospitals and schools as human shields,

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and Israeli media has reported the force is trying to

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:29.399

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the strike on the khn Unis hospital. Meanwhile, UN Emergency

<v Speaker 1>is quote deliberately and unashamedly imposing inhumane conditions on Palestinians

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>in Gaza, and that every person in Gaza is experiencing famine.

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Australia's unemployment rate is at four point one percent, remaining

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 2>steady since the beginning of the year. According to the ABS,

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>the unemployment rate measures a percentage of people who are

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 2>looking looking for work but couldn't find any. The number

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 2>of employed people remains high, with more than fourteen point

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 2>six million people in work across April. Of that group,

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 2>more than ten million are in full time work. In

<v Speaker 2>April twenty twenty five, more than eighty nine thousand Australians

<v Speaker 2>found jobs, while the number of Australians looking for work

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 2>increased by six thy three hundred. Australia's unemployment rate has

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>hovered around this level since December twenty twenty three, following

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>a peak during the height of the pandemic.

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 1>And today's good news, the US Centers for Disease Control

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>and Prevention aka the CDC have announced that deaths by

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>drug overdoses were down almost thirty percent in twenty twenty

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>four compared to the previous year. The rate of deaths

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:48.360
<v Speaker 1>declined across every category of drugs, including opioids. It was

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 1>also the lowest number of recorded drug overdose deaths since

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the early months of the pandemic. In a statement, the

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>CDC called the results remarkable and said they show quote

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>public health intervents are making a difference and having a

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>meaningful impact. It also said the drop in depths could

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>be interpreted as eighty one lives being saved every day

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty four compared to twenty twenty three.

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.000
