It comes as the Australian government said 10 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: last week that net zero emissions can be reached without 11 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: shutting down fossil fuel production in Australia. 12 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 2: Seven West Media has apologized for wrongfully identifying a First 13 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 2: Nations man as the suspect in custody over the kidnapping 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: of Cleo Smith. The media company said the images were 15 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,959 Speaker 2: removed promptly, but seven News apologizes for the era. 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: It's time to check in with the retail sector now. 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: Australian retail sales saw a four point four percent fall 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: in quarterly sales due to recent COVID nineteen lockdown across 19 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: the country. Ben James, director of quarterly Economy Wide Statistics 20 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: said quote, this is the largest quarterly fall in national 21 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: sales volumes ever recorded. However, in some better news for 22 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: the sector, we are expecting an uptick due to the 23 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: fact that Sydney and Melbourne are out of lockdown and 24 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: a big Christmas shopping period awaits. 25 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: Today's good news is that a new study that was 26 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 2: published in The Lancet very recently has found that the 27 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 2: HPV vaccine has cut cases of cervical cancer by nearly 28 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: ninety percent. Cancer Research UK has described the findings as historic. 29 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 2: This week really ended with an amazing, amazing news story 30 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: and it almost felt like the good news of little 31 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: Cleo being found made up for what's been a pretty 32 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: negative news cycle recently. So we thought we'd run you 33 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: through a couple of good news stories that we've seen 34 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: pop up that might lighten up your Friday. 35 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: It's always worth doing this for a couple of weeks. 36 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: I mean, at the moment, I've got a mustache on 37 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: my face for November and part of what I think 38 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: about in the month is the fact that we need 39 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: to balance some of the bad news with some of 40 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: the good stuff. So we're going to hit you with 41 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: four good news stories for a total good news overload, Zara, 42 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: we have to start with Cleo. The images yesterday of 43 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: the previously missing four year old girl from Western Australia 44 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: in the arms of her parents, looking happy and healthy, 45 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: warmed everybody's heart. We're learning a little bit more about 46 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: the police rescue mission. Yesterday. The police released this audio 47 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: of the unbelievable moment that Cleo was found alone in 48 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: the house early Wednesday morning. I gotta, I gotta, what 49 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: what's your name? 50 00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: What's your name? All week we have been talking about 51 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: COP twenty six, or the Glasgow Climate Conference, and one 52 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: of the more positive stories to come out of that 53 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 2: conference was the announcement that indigenous peoples in five countries 54 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: will receive two point three billion dollars for their role 55 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: in protecting forests. So the governments of the US, the UK, Germany, 56 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: Norway and the Netherlands, together with some international charities, pledged 57 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: to give that money to the indigenous peoples, again recognizing 58 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 2: their incredible role in protecting land and country. Those governments 59 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: specifically said that the money will go towards channeling support 60 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: to indigenous peoples and local communities, as well as activities 61 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: to secure strengthen and protect indigenous peoples and local communities, 62 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: lands and resource rights. 63 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: Sticking with the Glasgow theme, and India and the UK 64 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: have announced a joint project that aims to create a 65 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: solar grid connecting countries in different parts of the world. 66 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: This was announced at the UN Climate Talks in Glasgow. 67 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: Project is known as the Green Grids Initiative, and it's 68 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: being initiated by the International Solar Alliance, which was launched 69 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: by India and France at the twenty fifteen Paris Climate Conference. 70 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: The UK and India this week agreed to join forces 71 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: in the initiative. The key premise behind this idea is 72 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: the fact that the sun is always shining and when 73 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: it's dark in the UK, it's bright in India, and 74 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: so the two countries would actually swap grids during the 75 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: night so that the countries could rely on solar power 76 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: twenty four hours a day. It's pretty exciting innovation and 77 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: something that may be more part of our lives in 78 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: the years to come. 79 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: Though it's been really lovely dialing down the number of 80 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: COVID stories we've had to report on this is actually 81 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: some good news. There's been a real effort recently to 82 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: address vaccine inequity across the world, and we've seen that 83 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 2: from the leaders in both India and Canada. So in India, 84 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 2: Prime Minister Nearendromodi on Saturday told G twenty leaders that 85 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: his country is ready to produce over five billion vaccine 86 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: doses by the end of twenty twenty two. In addition 87 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: to that, Canada is set to donate seventy three million 88 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 2: COVID nineteen vaccine doses to vulnerable countries through Kovax, which 89 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 2: is basically a vaccine distribution program. So in that ten 90 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: million doses of maderna will be immediately donated and sixty 91 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: three million doses will be further donated by the end 92 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty two. It's a good reminder that while 93 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: we're really privileged to have had access to vaccines, that's 94 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: not the case everywhere in the world, and vaccine inequity 95 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 2: is no doubt going to be a big issue well 96 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 2: into the future. 97 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: That's all from us. Make sure you take some time 98 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: this weekend too, perhaps even disconnects from the news and 99 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: give yourself a break. That is part of a healthy 100 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: news diet. I also wanted to announce that we have 101 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: just launched a piece of really exciting merchandise. Our water 102 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: bottles are there to not only protect the planet, but 103 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: to keep us hydrated all day, every day. They're available 104 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: on the link on our Instagram. We're really excited about 105 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: this partnership with Soul Cups and we're keen to see 106 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: how many of them we can get out there into 107 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: the world. Have a look at the water bottles and 108 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: tell us what you think, and have a fantastic weekend. 109 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: We'll speak to you on Monday.
