Speaker 2: Police are treating the deaths as targeted attacks and believe

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: the incidents are connected. During a press conference today, Alan

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 2: said the state government is working with police quote and

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: potentially looking at what more by way of powers and

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: laws need to be provided. The premier told reporters there

16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,320

00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: serious injuries to her eye. She was charged with resisting

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: arrest and failing to comply with police orders. However, the

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: case against her was dismissed in the New South Wales

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: Supreme Court on Tuesday. Outside the court, Thomas announced plans

29
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: to sue New South Wales police for alleged brutality. State

00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: Green's MP Sue Higginson reiterated the party's support for Thomas

Speaker 2: deadly protests killed nineteen people and injured at least one

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: hundred others. Thousands of young demonstrators took to the streets

35
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,000

36
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,880

37
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: demonstrations turned violent on Monday when police used water cannons

38
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: tear gas and rubber bullets in an attempt to disburse crowds.

39
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: According to multiple reports and eyewitness accounts, law enforcement eventually

40
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: fired live rounds at the demonstrators. The United Nations has

41
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,960

Speaker 2: has walked back the social media ban and announced a

45
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: high level inquiry into the protest violence.

46
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: And Today's good News. Researchers in the UK have developed

47
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: breakthrough technology which could make lung cancer screening cheaper and

48
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: more widely accessible. Lung cancer is the world's deadliest cancer,

49
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: and early stage patients often go about their daily lives symptomless. However,

50
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: a new low field MRI scanner designed by a team

51
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: at the University of Sheffield can quote detect early signs

52
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: of lung disease or damage in the lungs, which would

53
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: otherwise go undetected by routine tests. Professor Jim Wilde from

54
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: the UNI said the technology is highly sensitive and radiation

55
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: free and safe for all ages. Scans are fast, lasting

56
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: just minutes and can be repeated as often as needed

57
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: to monitor lung changes during disease progression and treatment. The

58
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: project will now undergo a medical device trial.

59
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: That's the latest from the Daily os newsroom for today,

60
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,360
