Speaker 2: It's Friday, the twelfth of September. Here's what's making headlines
Speaker 2: the scene.
Speaker 1: The first official report from Australia's Special Envoy to combat
Speaker 1: Islamophobia has called on the government to address the issue
Speaker 1: with the same urgency as any form of discrimination. Findings
Speaker 1: out today come one year after Aftab Malik was appointed
Speaker 1: to the role by Prime Minister Anthony Albernizi. According to
Speaker 1: Malik's report, Islamophobia is persistent, at times ignored and other
Speaker 1: times denied, but never fully addressed in Australia. Malik met
Speaker 1: with over one hundred Muslim community members, including experts, academics
Speaker 1: and religious leaders across Australia to inform his findings. His
Speaker 1: report contains fifty four recommendations, including a review of countess
Speaker 1: terrorism laws and the launch of an inquiry into Islamophobia.
Speaker 1: Albernizi said the government would carefully consider the recommendations.
Speaker 2: New South Wales Parliament has passed new laws targeting the
Speaker 2: illicit tobacco black market. The legislation, which received bipartisan support,
Speaker 2: will introduce increased fines of up to one point five
Speaker 2: million dollars and prison sentences of up to seven years
Speaker 2: for anyone caught selling tobacco illegally. The reforms also give
Speaker 2: the state government powers to shut down businesses found doing
Speaker 2: the wrong thing. New South Wales Health Minister Ryan Park
Speaker 2: called the laws some of the toughest ilicit tobacco measures
Speaker 2: in the country and said the changes will complement the
Speaker 2: government's new tobacco licensing scheme. The state's liberal opposition has
Speaker 2: welcomed the legislation, which it said, quote will crack down
Speaker 2: on the dodgy tobacconists popping up on every high street
Speaker 2: in New South Wales. Shadow Health Minister Kelly Sloane said
Speaker 2: the new laws will quote help protect young people against
Speaker 2: the harms of tobacco and vaping.
Speaker 1: The FBI has released new footage believed to contain Charlie
Speaker 1: Kirk's suspected shooter, as authorities continue their manhunt after yesterday's assassination. Kirk,
Speaker 1: a conservative political activist, was speaking at an outdoor event
Speaker 1: at Utah Valley University when he was shot in front
Speaker 1: of thousands of onlookers. New photos from the Utah Department
Speaker 1: of Public Safety show a suspect wearing a backpack and
Speaker 1: a black shirt featuring the American flag. Authorities are appealing
Speaker 1: to the public for assistance with the release of footage
Speaker 1: which appears to show a male suspect jumping off a
Speaker 1: roof at the UNI after the assassination. The US President
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has announced plans to award Charlie Kirk a
Speaker 1: Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously.
Speaker 2: And today's good news. In what's been described as a
Speaker 2: once in a lifetime phenomenon, an iguana has given birth
Speaker 2: without mating. The female cask headed iguana produced eight hatchlings
Speaker 2: at a British zoo in a rare virgin birth Yep,
Speaker 2: you heard that correct, with no male involved. The iguana
Speaker 2: gave birth through a pro called parthenogenesis, when unfertilized eggs
Speaker 2: develop into embryos, creating offspring that are genetic clones of
Speaker 2: their mother. The team at Telford Zoo called it a
Speaker 2: powerful reminder of the wonders of nature, adding quote it's
Speaker 2: self conservation without the help of humans and evolutionary insurance
Speaker 2: to keep the species going in extreme circumstances.
