0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:08.559
<v Speaker 1>From The Daily Os. I'm billy, I'm emma. It's Tuesday,

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:11.479
<v Speaker 1>the eleventh of February. Here's what's making headlines this evening.

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:17.800
<v Speaker 2>US President Donald Trump says he's considering a tariff exemption

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:21.640
<v Speaker 2>request from Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi. The two leaders spoke

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.319
<v Speaker 2>over the phone this morning after Trump announced plans to

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 2>impose twenty five percent tariffs on imported steel and aluminium

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:33.480
<v Speaker 2>from all countries. Albanizi said he quote presented Australia's case

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.479
<v Speaker 2>for an exemption in that phone call, and said the

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 2>US President agreed to review the request in the interest

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 2>of both our countries. Trump signed a series of executive

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 2>orders following the call, where he said there would be

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 2>no countries exempt from the tariffs. However, the President was

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 2>asked about Australia directly after that and said he will

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 2>quote give great consideration to Albanese's request. Trump also referred

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 2>to the PM as a very fine man.

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Harmas has said it will delay the scheduled release of

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:11.920
<v Speaker 1>hostages until further notice, accusing Israel or violating the ceasefire agreement.

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz called the delay to the

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>release of hostages an outright violation of the ceasefire. The

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Israeli government also rejected claims about the blocking of aid.

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Under the first phase of the ceasefire agreement, HAMAS is

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 1>required to release small groups of Israeli hostages each week

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:35.040
<v Speaker 1>in exchange for Israel releasing Palestinian prisoners. US President Donald

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Trump said if the decision were up to him, he

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>would quote let all hell break out if hostages weren't

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>released by Saturday.

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>At least fifty five people have died after a bus

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 2>plunged off a highway bridge in Guatemala's capital. According to

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>the Associated Press, the bus was traveling on the bridge

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>out of the city when it collided with several other

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 2>vehicles before falling about twenty meters. The president of Guatemala,

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Bernardo Arevallo, has declared three days of national mourning. In

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>a post on x he said, quote, I stand in

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.679
<v Speaker 2>solidarity with the families of the victims who today woke

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 2>up to heartbreaking news. Their pain is my pain, he wrote.

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 1>In Today's good News, a UK research trial into treating

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.799
<v Speaker 1>peanut allergies has had a one hundred percent success rate.

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 1>A group of seventy three children aged four to fourteen

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>were included in the trials. Over an eighteen month period,

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>participants were gradually exposed to increasing traces of peanut butter. Initially,

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>all seventy three kids could only tolerate around half a peanut.

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 1>By the end of the study, their tolerance increased to

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>three tablespoons of peanut butter without an allergic reaction. Researchers

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>from the UK's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>said children with high threshold peanut allergies have previously been

0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:00.519
<v Speaker 1>excluded from food allergy treatment trials. However, it said these

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>findings show there's quote a very safe and accessible form

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>of therapy that could be liberating for many of these

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>children and their families.

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.200
