Speaker 1: From the Daily ods. I'm Zara, I'm Billy. It's Wednesday,
Speaker 1: the eleventh of December. Here's what's making headlines this evening.
Speaker 2: Political leaders have condemned an incident in Sydney's East overnight,
Speaker 2: after a car was set alight and buildings were damaged
Speaker 2: with anti Israel graffiti in the suburb of Wulara. New
Speaker 2: South Wales's Premier Chris Mins and Prime Minister Anthony Albanizi
Speaker 2: condemned the attack in separate statements this morning. We're both
Speaker 2: expected to be briefed by investigators. Local MP allegris Bender
Speaker 2: said to target the biggest Jewish community in the country
Speaker 2: is anti Semitic. It comes days after authorities launched an
Speaker 2: investigation into a fire at a Melbourne synagogue, which has
Speaker 2: been declared a likely terrorist attack. Last month, cars and
Speaker 2: property were also damaged in a separate incident in Willara.
Speaker 1: The rebel forces that toppled serious dictatorship this week have
Speaker 1: appointed Muhammad Albashir to act as an interim minister until
Speaker 1: the first of March. The forces were led by a
Speaker 1: group called Hayat Tahir Alsham or HTS, which many international governments,
Speaker 1: including Australia list as a terrorist organization. Bashir was a
Speaker 1: local government leader in an HTS controlled Syrian province and
Speaker 1: previously worked as an engineer. In a televised address, he
Speaker 1: said he's been working with the outgoing government and authorities
Speaker 1: from his province to establish stability and calm.
Speaker 2: An election promise from Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi would give
Speaker 2: most preschool aged children three days of subsidized early childhood
Speaker 2: education per week if Labour wins next year's election. The
Speaker 2: existing activity test, which awards hours of subsidized childcare based
Speaker 2: on how much parents work and earn, would be removed
Speaker 2: from January twenty twenty six. Instead, the government says it
Speaker 2: wants to build a universal system where every child is
Speaker 2: guaranteed access to high quality early education that is affordable
Speaker 2: and accessible. It's also announced plans to build more childcare
Speaker 2: centers around the country.
Speaker 1: And today's good news, Scientists at MIT have developed a
Speaker 1: biodegradable replacement for microplastic beads in beauty products. Microplastics are
Speaker 1: tiny fragments, and they can be manufactured deliberately or can
Speaker 1: come from bigger pieces of plastic breaking down. Microplastics have
Speaker 1: been found in the human body and in animals and
Speaker 1: other wildlife. Now, a team of scientists have developed a
Speaker 1: replacement for microplastic particles for use in health and beauty
Speaker 1: products like cleanses. The new BIA degradable materials break down
Speaker 1: over time into harmless elements. Testing found they were more
Speaker 1: effective at a removing makeup than actual microplastics. The scientists
Speaker 1: will trial the new system on humans next year.
Speaker 2: That's the latest from the Delio's newsroom. If you're looking
Speaker 2: for something else to listen to, make sure you catch
Speaker 2: up on today's deep dive on how the murder of
Speaker 2: a US healthcare ceo played out.
