1 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: From the Daily Os. I'm Lucy, I'm Zara. It's Friday, 2 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: the sixth of December. Here's what's making headlines this evening. 3 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 2: Victoria's Arson Squad is investigating what it says was a 4 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 2: deliberate and targeted attack on a Melbourne synagogue. Witnesses say 5 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 2: they saw two masked individuals at the synagogue pouring a 6 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 2: liquid on the floor before a quote deliberately lit fire 7 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 2: destroyed much of the building. Detective Inspector Chris Murray said 8 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 2: an accelerant had been found at the synagogue. PM Anthony 9 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 2: Alberizi has condemned the incident, saying he has quote zero 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: tolerance for anti Semitism, while Opposition leader Peter Dudden called 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: it totally unacceptable. 12 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: Woolworths has filed an application with the Fair Work Commission 13 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: over ongoing employee strikes at several of its distribution centers. 14 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: The employees, who are members of the United Workers' Union, 15 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: have blocked the entrances to four distribution centers across Victoria 16 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: and New South Wales as part of an indefinite strike 17 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: for quote, safer warehouses, fair pay and the same rights 18 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: at every site. Blocking the distribution sites has meant goods 19 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: can't reach stores, leading to empty shelves at some Woolworth supermarkets. 20 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: Woolworth said it believed the majority of its employees at 21 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: these centers weren't union members and wanted to quote return 22 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: to work to begin being paid. The UWU has said 23 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: its members quote don't want empty shelves, but can't go 24 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: back in until Woolworth's puts their safety first. 25 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 2: Members of South Korea's parliament will vote tomorrow night on 26 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: whether to impeach President yunsuk yol. It comes days after 27 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 2: President Yun put the country under military rule or martial 28 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: law for several hours overnight until a majority vote of 29 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 2: MPs forced him to back down. The motion to impeach 30 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: comes from the opposing Democratic Party. However, Korean media reports 31 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: some members of Yun's own party could support the motion. 32 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: The leader of the People Power Party has said that 33 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: although he previously work to stop the impeachment, he now 34 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: believes that President Yun's immediate suspension from duty is necessary 35 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: to protect the Republic of Korea and its people. The 36 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: impeachment motion needs a support of two hundred members of 37 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: parliament to pass, which means at least eight members of 38 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: Yun's party have to vote for it. 39 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: And today's good news, a team of researchers from South 40 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: Australia and China have developed a new strategy to make 41 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: water desalination more efficient, which could increase the world's supply 42 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: of fresh drinking water. Currently, seawater evaporates more slowly than 43 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: fresh water, such as that found in rivers and lakes. 44 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: That means desalination plants use a lot of energy to 45 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: turn salt water into drinkable water. With the addition of 46 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: some common minerals to a pre existing water evaporator, the 47 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: scientists found they could make seawater evaporate faster than freshwater, 48 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: increasing efficiency. Lead scientist Professor Harlan Schu said this new 49 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: strategy will provide additional access to massive amounts of clean water, 50 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: benefiting billions of people worldwide. 51 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: Well, that wraps up another week of the Daily Ods. 52 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: Don't forget to tune in tomorrow for a bit of 53 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: good news.
