<v Speaker 2>which is designed for sensory play and educational purposes, is

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 2>sold in several colors at more than eighty retailers, including

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Officeworks and Woolworth's. Authorities have identified quote a low level

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 2>of tremolite that's a naturally occurring asbestos and or chrysotile,

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 2>the most common type of asbestos in the products. However,

0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 2>the most dangerous type, blue asbestos, has not been detect

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>in the sand. Work Safe ACT and Queensland said the

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 2>risk of exposure to traces of asbestos is low, but

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 2>they've urged quote a precautionary approach should be adopted until

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 2>further test results become available. Sixteen schools in the Act

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 2>were closed today, while several others were partially closed. One

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 2>school in Queensland also decided to close on Friday. Brisbane's

<v Speaker 2>Mansell College said it was quote acting with an abundance

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 2>of caution after the sand was found at its campuses.

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 1>The driver jailed over the fatal twenty twenty three Hunter

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Valley bus crash has lost an appeal against his thirty

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.559
<v Speaker 1>two year prison term. Brett Button was driving guests home

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.759
<v Speaker 1>from a wedding when he lost control and crashed, killing

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>ten passengers and injuring twenty five on the June Long

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>weekend in twenty twenty three. Button pleaded guilty to dozens

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>of charges, including dangerous driving causing death. Last year, he

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>was sentenced to a maximum of thirty two years in

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>jail with a non parole period of twenty four years.

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Button launched an appeal in July after his lawyer's disputed

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 1>findings that he knowingly drove under the influence of painkillers

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.720

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty forty eight, when he'll be eligible for parole.

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 2>The BBC has apologized to US President Donald Trump over

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>an allegedly misleading edit of a speech he gave on

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 2>the sixth of January twenty twenty one, the day of

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:42.679
<v Speaker 2>the deadly Washington insurrection. However, the British broadcaster has rejected

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 2>compensation claims from Trump's lawyers. Two senior staff resigned after

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the BBC was accused of deliberately cutting parts of a

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Trump addressed together, making him appear to encourage the Capitol

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Hill riot. The cutdown was part of an October twenty

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty four episode of Panorama, the BBC's flagship current affairs program.

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 2>The President is now threatening to sue the public broadcaster

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 2>for a billion dollars in damages. The BBC issued a

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>formal apology on Thursday night local time, hours after a

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 2>second clip was called into question over similar editing concerns.

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 2>It said it accepts the Panorama edit quote unintentionally created

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.799
<v Speaker 2>call for violent action. The BBC would like to apologize

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:32.399
<v Speaker 2>to President Trump for that error of judgment. A spokesperson

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 2>said that while the BBC sincerely regrets the manner in

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 2>which the video clip was edited. We strongly disagree there

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>is a basis for a defamation claim.

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 1>And today's good news. An ancient fossil discovered in New

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>South Wales has researchers reconsidering what they thought they knew

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>about insect evolution. Robert Beatty, a now retired school teacher,

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 1>first presented the fossil to experts in twenty sixteen. After

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>extensive research, watch the Australian Museum now estimates it to

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>be a one hundred and fifty one million year old

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>fossil of a non biting midge, a type of small fly,

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>making it the oldest artifact of its kind in the

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Southern Hemisphere, according to the Museum. Until now, their oldest

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:20.279
<v Speaker 1>known fossils came from China and Siberia, leading scientists to

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 1>assume they originated in the northern super continent of Laurasia,

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 1>but this new Australian discovery suggests otherwise. The Australian midge

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>proves that the Southern Hemisphere holds what experts called quote

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>crucial pieces of the evolutionary puzzle that can fundamentally reshape

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>our understanding of life's history on Earth.

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 2>That's the latest from the Daily Oz newsroom. If you're

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.919
