This news comes after an Aboriginal man and 26 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: a woman both died in New South Wales prison custody 27 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: a fortnight ago, while another Aboriginal man died in Victoria's 28 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: Ravenhall Correctional Center last Sunday. 29 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 3: A New South Wales National's MP, Michael Johnson has resigned 30 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 3: from the New South Wales government after identifying himself as 31 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: the politician accused of sexually assaulting a sex worker in 32 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 3: the Blue Mountains.

The New Zealand Parliament has unanimously 36 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,639 Speaker 1: passed a bill that provides mothers and partners three days 37 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: of bereavement leaf for miscarriages, stillbirths and parents planning to 38 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: have a child through adoption. Osarregacy Mpginny Anderson said the 39 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: bill will give women and their partners time to come 40 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: to terms with their loss without having to tap into 41 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: sick leave, because their grief is not a sickness, It 42 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: is a loss, and loss takes time. Look, it's Friday, 43 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: and so for today's deep dive, what I wanted to 44 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: do was to take you through three stories and the 45 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: silver linings that have emerged from them. I want this 46 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 1: to be an exercise in how even the darkest stories 47 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: in the news cycle can have some hope come from them. Now, 48 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: the first story is COVID nineteen related. It's about Oslem Turci, 49 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: who is the co founder of the German company Buy 50 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: and Tech with her husband, and they won the race 51 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: to deliver the first widely used COVID vaccine. COVID has 52 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: been a source of bad news for the entire year, 53 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: but now the couple have said that their next frontier 54 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: is cancer and they're on the hunt to use the 55 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: funds the company now has through an unbelievably high demand 56 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: vaccine to pursue its original goal of developing a new 57 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: tool against cancer. We'll be keeping an eye on this 58 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: German company and seeing what remarkable results they can come 59 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: up with. The second silver lining comes from Atlanta, when 60 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: nine people were killed in three separate shootings at spas 61 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: in the Atlanta area, including six Asian women. One of 62 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,839 Speaker 1: the women kill, hun Jung Grant, was a single mother 63 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: of two, and a GoFundMe page dedicated to helping raise 64 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: her two sons, has raised more than two point five 65 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: million US dollars in a matter of days. More than 66 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: sixty seven thousand Americans donated to this cause at a 67 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: time where many in America are struggling under the financial 68 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: and the health stress of the pandemic. This money will 69 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: be used to pay for both the children's full college 70 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: education as well as permanent housing and any resources they 71 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: need to live happy and healthy lives. And the last 72 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: silver lining comes from the UK. Now next week, the 73 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: UK government has established the National Day of Reflection. It's 74 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: a government initiative to mark the anniversary of the start 75 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: of lockdown in the UK and to coincide with this day, 76 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: they have commissioned the writing of a children's book called 77 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: Hospital by the Hill. It tells the story of a 78 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: young person whose mother dies while working on the front 79 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: line at a hospital during the COVID crisis. They were 80 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: lucky enough to get a foreword written by Prince Harry. 81 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: A combination of Harry's forward and a really high demand 82 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: for this narrative led to mass distribution of this book, 83 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: which is free of charge to any child or young 84 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: person in the country who has been affected by the 85 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: loss of loved ones to COVID nineteen. I'll leave you 86 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: with this silver lining from Prince Harry, he writes, I 87 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: know how you feel, and I want to assure you 88 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: that over time that whole will be filled with so 89 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: much love and support. We know the news cycle at 90 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: the moment is particularly tricky. It has been a a 91 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: really tough month and a really tough year for most 92 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: of the world, in grappling with everything from a pandemic 93 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: to the sexual assault allegations.
