00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: From The Daily Os. I'm Emma Gillespie, I'm Sam Kazlowski.

2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: It's Thursday, the twenty first of August. Here's what's making

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: headlines this evening.

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: The Israeli Defense Forces has begun its invasion of Gaza City,

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: part of a plan to take control of the entire enclave.

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: In a series of posts two x, the IDF said

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: it has quote operational control of seventy five percent of

8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: Gaza and was calling up as many as sixty thousand

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 2: reserve soldiers to support the offensive. At the same time,

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: the Israeli government approved plans to expand its settlements in

11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: the West Bank, which is illegal under international law. The

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 2: planned development would split the West Bank in half, going

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: against international plans to establish a Palestinian state. The Palestinian Authority,

14
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: which governs the West Bank, called the occupation of Gaza

15
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: City and the development approval quote two sides of the

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: same coin, of genocide. You and human rights experts and

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: independent body Human Rights Watch have also accused Israel of

18
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: genocidal acts against Palestinians in Gaza. Israel's actions in recent

19
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: days have been widely condemned by international leaders, including French

20
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: President Emmanuel Macron and UK Foreign Minister David Lammy.

21
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: Two bodies have been discovered in northern Sydney floodwaters, believed

22
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: to be a missing father and son. Emergency services were

23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: called to the MacDonald River near Wiseman's Ferry late last

24
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: night after reports a car had been washed away. A

25

Speaker 3: flooded vehicle and reach a riverbank. He was treated by

27
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: paramedics at the scene, but to other men who were

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: in the car. His dad and brother could not be found.

29
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: After a twelve hour search, New South Wales Police divers

30
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: located the vehicle and two bodies in the water. Today

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: it comes as torrential downpours continue across parts of the

32
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 3: state's east coast. Sydney has recorded its wettest August in

33
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: twenty seven years, with more rain forecast over the coming days.

34
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,919
Speaker 3: Since Wednesday afternoon, the New South Wales State Emergency Service

35
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: has responded to over four hundred incidents, including six flood rescues.

36
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: The ses is urging people not to drive in floodwaters

37
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: and to plan their journeys on the road carefully. At

38
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: the time of recording, there are thirty five active flood

39
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: warnings in place in New South Wales.

40
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 2: The federal government has wrapped up its Economic Roundtable summit.

41
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 2: Business groups, unions, federal ministers and non government organizations gathered

42
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: in Canberra for three days of talks. The roundtable included

43
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: discussions on ev driver taxes, reorganizing the skills of migrants,

44
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: and overhauling construction rules. Changes to the tax system, Environmental

45
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: protection laws and AI were also on the agenda. Finance

46
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: Minister Katie Gallaherst said there will be outcomes from the Roundtable,

47
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 2: but there's no magic switch for bigger issues like productivity

48
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: and the budget. Opposition leader Susan Lee has criticized the

49
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: summit as a carefully managed talkfest. In a post to

50
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 2: social media, Lee said the answers won't come from closed

51
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: doors in camera, they will come from listening to families

52
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: and businesses.

53
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: And today's good news. A new study has captured rare

54
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: footage showing bats socializing and hugging each other. Spectral bats,

55
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: also known as false vampire bats, are found in parts

56
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: of Central and South America. They're the largest meat eating

57
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: bats in the world, but little is actually known about

58
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: their habits. Now, researchers in Costa Rica have discovered these

59
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: bats are much more social than previously thought. Emotion detection

60
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: camera observed the bats in their natural habitat, where they

61
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: could be seen playing together, seemingly enjoying each other's company

62
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: and even hugging. The images also show parents feeding their

63
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: young in a technique scientists believe the bats used to

64
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: transition their baby's diets from milk to meat.

65
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: And that's all we've got for you from the Dalios

66
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: newsroom on this Thursday afternoon. If you're looking for something

67
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: else to listen to, this story is developing quite rapidly today.

68
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: You can check out today's date dive on the question

69
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,120
