Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, the third of March. Here's what's making headlines

00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: this evening.

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi has criticized a small number of

Speaker 2: mosques for holding vigils to mourn Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: Ali Kamini, was killed in strikes on Iran launched by

Speaker 2: members to mourn the eighty six year old, which Albanezi

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: called inappropriate. Opposition Front bencher Andrew Hasty described the Supreme

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: Leader as a quote evil man and said celebrating his

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 2: life is quote completely at odds with our values here

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 2: in Australia. New South Wales Premier Chris Mins also condemned

15

Speaker 2: very careful that they're not breaching hate speech or terrorism

17

Speaker 2: laws because they can expect it to be investigated in

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: those circumstances.

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: Quantus CEO Vanessa Hudson has addressed these significant impacts the

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,320

Speaker 1: commercial air traffic across the Middle East remains suspended, with

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: sweeping airspace closures and flight cancelations across the region. Quantus

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: has offered additional flexibility for customers who booked flights too

24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: from or via the UAE, Qatar, Israel, Jordan, and O'man

00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: Summit today, Hudson said quote, we are going to do

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: everything that we can to support our customers, whether it

33
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: Sublite imagery shows the first known strikes on an Iranian

34
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: nuclear site since the US and Israel launched their air

35
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: operation on Saturday. According to images from the Independent Institute

36
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: for Science and International Security, one of Iran's main nuclear

37
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: facilities was hit twice on the weekend. The strikes targeted

38
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: access points to the underground uranium enrichment plant at Natans,

39
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: which was also hit by the US last June. The

40
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: Institute estimates the strikes occurred sometime between Sunday afternoon and

41
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: Monday morning local time. However, it's not yet known whether

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: the US or Israel hit the Natan's complex. The International

43
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: Atomic Energy Agency said its quote closely monitoring developments in

44
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: the Middle East and urges restraints to avoid any nuclear

45
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: safety risks to people in the regions.

46
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: And today's good news. Researchers from the Australian National University

47
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: and the Taronga Conservation Society have successfully restored the lost

48
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: traditional song of one of Australia's most endangered birds. With

49
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: fewer than two hundred and fifty regent honeyeaders in the wild,

50
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: scientists discovered young birds were mistakenly learning the songs of

51
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: other species because they couldn't find older males of their

52
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: own species. Bird song is essential for attracting a mate,

53
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: and with the regent honeyeater losing its traditional song, researchers

54
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: held grave concerns for the species future breeding success. However,

55
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: the team at Taronga used targeted song tutoring to revive

56
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: the lost sound. An you said by Using recordings and

57
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: direct exposure to just two wild born male tutors, scientists

58
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: taught young zoo bred males the species traditional wild song.

59
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: The breakthrough offers new hope for the critically endangered Regent honeyeadter.

60
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: That's the latest from the Daily os newsroom. If you're

61
