1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Good morning, Happy Monday, and welcome to the Daily Ohs.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: It is the twelfth of July.

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,079
Speaker 1: I'm Zara Seidler and I'm joined by co founder of

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: the Daily Ohs, Sam Kezlosky.

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 2: Sam. How are you going, Zara?

6
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 3: I'm coming at you live from a self made podcast

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 3: bunker because it struck me that I'm going to be

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 3: at home for a while. After a weekend of some

9
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 3: pretty troubling COVID.

10
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: Statistics, let's jump straight into it.

11
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 3: So here in New South Wales there were seventy seven

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: new locally acquired COVID nineteen cases yesterday, thirty two of

13
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 3: which were in isolation during the entirety of their infectious periods.

14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: And that's the number that health authorities are really worried about.

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: So Gladys baragically and said yesterday she's not so worried

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: about the case numbers jumping, but it's about how many

17
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: of these people are remaining mobile in the community while infectious.

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: So we're hoping to see these numbers drop today.

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: There was also some sad news with New South Wales

20
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: Health reporting the first COVID nineteen related death since December

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: twenty twenty. It was a woman in her nineties who

22
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 3: contracted COVID from a family contact Gladsboro. Jiclian said that

23
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: health authorities and the government were extremely concerned with the

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 3: current situation.

25
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 4: Now, on a positive I want to thank people for

26
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 4: staying at home. Reports back from police and other community

27
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 4: leaders is quite evident the people are taking the stay

28
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 4: at home message and no doubt the cases that we're

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: learning about today are quite historic going back five, six

30
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: or seven days.

31
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: I think there is a lot of COVID fatigue, especially

32
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: in New South Wales at the moment. So let's jump

33
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: to some non COVID news. Firefighters in California are working

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: to contain a wildfire compounded by a continuing heat wave

35
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: in North America. The Beckworth Complex fire, which was caused

36
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: by lightning, has seen evacuation orders or warnings for roughly

37
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight hundred people in the state.

38
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: A record high.

39
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: Temperature of fifty four degrees celsius was detected in California's

40
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: Death Valley National Park on Friday, and while we're still

41
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: waiting for verification on this, it would be the highest

42
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: reading on record since July nineteen thirteen.

43
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: Ethiopian Prime Minister A b Ahmed has won a national

44
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: election in a landslide victory. So over the weekend, authorities

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: announced the results of last month's election, with Ahmed's ruling

46
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: party winning four hundred and ten out of the possible

47
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: four hundred and thirty six seats in federal parliament. Some

48
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 3: of those seats have remained vacant due to unrest or

49
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: logistical reasons, with voting in those areas set to happen

50
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: later in the year. This new government is expected to

51
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 3: form in about October.

52
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: We're jumping to Victoria for today's good news and fifteen

53
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: lgbtiq plus organizations in Victoria now have a new home

54
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: after an Australian first lgbtiq plus hub opened yesterday. Here's

55
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: what the Pride Center's inaugural chair had to say about

56
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: its purpose yesterday. For me, the Victorian Pride Center encapsulates

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: a coming out statement on behalf of the whole of

58
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 1: the LGBTRQ community.

59
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: So in about the middle of last week, there was

60
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: some very dramatic news from Haiti, and that was that

61
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 3: Haitian President Jovenil Moyes was assassinated after his home was stormed.

62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: Now there are some important updates on this story. We

63
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: wanted to cut you up on and it was also

64
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 3: a good opportunity to break down what exactly happened in

65
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 3: what has been a very transformative week for the tiny country.

66
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: So what do we know so far about the assassination?

67
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: So, according to Haitian authorities, there was a hit squad

68
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: of twenty eight men. Of that were twenty six Colombians

69
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: and two Haitian Americans who burst in an open fire

70
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: on the president and his wife in their home. Of

71
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: that original twenty eight, seventeen of them have been arrested,

72
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: with at least three killed when Haitian authorities stormed a

73
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: house where the assassins had allegedly gathered after the events.

74
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: And we saw footage on this.

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: At the time of the assassination, there were video circulating

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: online and the assassins were alleging to be American law

77
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: enforcement agents.

78
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: What was that all about?

79
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: So it sounds like they basically knocked on the door

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: saying they were the DEA, which is the drug enforcement agency.

81
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: You might have heard of them if you watched Nacos

82
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: on Netflix. They're kind of filtered throughout Southern and Central

83
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: America regulating the drug trade that ultimately has drugs end

84
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: up in America. The key allegation here that's emerged is

85
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 3: that the Haitian president Moyes, was somebody who was looking

86
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 3: to crack down on corruption, and so it appears that

87
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: this hit squad, many of whom were Colombian, was threatened

88
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 3: by the thought of law reform in the country, and

89
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: if these allegations proved correct, were sent to kill the president.

90
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: Before we go on to what we learned yesterday, what

91
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: do we know about his politics?

92
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: The former president, By all reports, President Jovenel Moyes was

93
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: a very well liked figure in the Haitian community. He

94
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 3: was a relatively young president with a progressive agenda, focusing

95
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: on anti corruption measures. So, especially after the natural disaster

96
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 3: that happened in Haiti about ten years ago, the country

97
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: has been trying to rebuild. When there's a big rebuild

98
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 3: of a country like that, there's a big power vacuum,

99
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: and I think a lot of Haitians were relieved that

100
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 3: somebody like Moyes had held onto power and had a

101
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: responsible and progressive agenda.

102
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 2: And how long had he been in power.

103
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: Moys was in power from twenty seventeen, so about four

104
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 3: years in the top job.

105
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: All right, So jumping back, what did we learn yesterday

106
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: about the assassination.

107
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: So there's now an interim government in place, and the

108
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: American ABC actually secured an interview with that interim president.

109
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: Here's a little bit of what the president had to say.

110
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: Who is in charge here in Haiti?

111
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 5: I don't know if there's a power showgrole. I'm not

112
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 5: paying attention to whereow or not there's a power show real.

113
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 5: I'm paying attention to giving justice to President of Memorives

114
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 5: finn Is a waif son and dogs.

115
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 3: Ultimately, the interim president has one key request and this

116
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: is the big takeaway from this morning's podcast. Haiti's government

117
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: has asked the US and the UN for help, and

118
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 3: they've asked for help in the form of troops that

119
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 3: need to come into the country to maintain order. Some

120
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 3: of the key reasons why they want US and UN

121
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: intervention is to not only stabilize the country but protect

122
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: some key infrastructure, so some key buildings and facilities, but

123
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 3: also because the local police force is so weak and

124
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 3: lacks the resources it needs to maintain order with such

125
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 3: deep uncertainty over the country's political future.

126
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: At hand, I saw that Biden came out with a

127
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: statement quite soon after the assassination. What do we know

128
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: about what's happened since with the US and Haiti.

129
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 3: Biden didn't say that they would be sending troops straight away.

130
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 3: What he did say was that senior FBI and Department

131
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: of Homeland Security officials will go to assess the situation

132
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 3: and how the US might be able to assist in

133
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: terms of the use. They have said that they've received

134
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 3: the letter requesting assistance, and it's probably more likely we'll

135
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: see a UN response on the grounds than a US

136
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: response on the ground, but I wouldn't go as far

137
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: as ruling out a US response.

138
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: This is one of those stories that we'll have to

139
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: trace the trajectory of because it will have major implications

140
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: for the region. We'll be sure to keep you updated

141
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,120
