1
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: From The Daily Os. I'm Emma Gillespie.

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 2: I'm Sam Kauzlowski.

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, the fifteenth of October. Here's what's making headlines

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: this evening.

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: A power outage in Victoria is being blamed for disruptions

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 2: to the state's Triple zero service. Tuesday nights blackout led

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: to a software shutdown at an emergency call center in Melbourne.

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: The facility could still receive calls from the public, but

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: dispatch software was impacted for several hours. The computer system

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: allows dispatches to review and allocate available ambulance, fire and

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: police vehicles in the area. Staff at the center resorted

12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: to writing with pen and paper during the outage instead.

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: According to Victorian Emergency Services Minister Vicky Ward, a backup

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 2: system should have been activated during the disruption. We don't

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: know why I didn't, she said. In an update today,

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: State Premier Justina Allen thanked the quote hard working and

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: highly trained staff at Triple zero and has promised a

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: thorough investigation.

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: The High Court has upheld a decision to ban far

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: right US commentator Candae Owens from entering the country. Owens

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: was planning a multi city speaking tour when her visa

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: was blocked by the Home Affairs Minister last year. At

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: the time, Tony Burke claimed Owens had the power to

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: incite discord in almost every direction and that her tour

25
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: would not be in Australia's best interest. Owens, who has

26
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: a combined social media following of around twenty million, has

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: been accused of anti Semitism, Islamophobia, and of promoting harmful

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories and making anti trans comments. Owens launched a

29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: legal challenge to appeal the decision to block her visa

30
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: in Australia's highest court. Her lawyers argued Burke didn't properly

31
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: consider all relevant factors and that his actions went against

32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: national freedom of expression commitments. However, all seven judges agreed

33
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: that the decision to refuse Owen's visa was lawful and

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: her appeal was rejected.

35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: Today, l has announced a ten year ban for any

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: players considering joining the proposed breakaway competition called R three sixty.

37
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: The global rugby union competition has received backing from former

38
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: England international Mike Tindall and a consortium of investors, reportedly

39
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: including Saudi Arabia. A joint statement from the world's biggest

40
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 2: rugby union bodies including Australia, England, Ireland, New Zealand and

41
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: South Africa warned R three sixty poses a serious threat

42
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: to the sport's future and any of its participants will

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: be banned from international selection now. Rugby league officials have

44
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: also weighed in on R three sixty. A statement from

45
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: the Australian Rugby League Commission said any NRL player who negotiates,

46
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: signs or enters into an agreement with a football competition,

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: league or organization not recognized by the ARLC will be

48
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 2: banned from participation in the NRL and any other sanctioned

49
00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 2: competitions for a period of ten years.

50
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: And today's good news, Researchers in the UK say they've

51
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: developed the world's first accurate blood test to detect chronic

52
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: fatigue syndrome. The illness impacts an estimated seventeen to twenty

53
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: four million people globally. According to findings published in the

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: Journal of Translational Medicine, a new breakthrough epigenetic test can

55
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: screen patients for chronic fatigue with ninety six percent accuracy.

56
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: The screening technique detects unique biomarkers of the condition and

57
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: is the most reliable diagnostic tool for chronic fatigue. To date,

58
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: researchers said the discovery quote offers the potential for a simple,

59
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: accurate blood test to help confirm a diagnosis, which could

60
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: lead to earlier support and more effective management of a

61
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: condition which, for many patients goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed figures.

62
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: That's the latest from The Daily Oo's newsroom. If you're
