21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: these matters be resolved fairly and expeditiously. TUJ denies these allegations.

32
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: That's some fantastic good news. But you know what, I

33
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: don't think we've had enough good news this week. So

34
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: what we've decided to do today is absolutely send you

35
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: into the weekend with a barrage of good news. We

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: have lined up a couple more stories for you to

37
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: hit you with. I'm going to start off with one

38
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: from Florida, where an elderly woman who continuously dialed the

39
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: wrong number for the past twenty years, has finally met

40
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: the man on the other side of the country who

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: talked to her and formed a friendship over these twenty years.

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: They met on Thanksgiving, which was earlier this week. Here's

43
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: some audio of what happened when they met and what

44
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: lessons we can learn from this unique friendship. Just walk

45
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm Mike from RhE Island, and she just threw her

46
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: hands up and she said, I'm blessed.

47
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: Oh, it was such a great day. That would have it?

48
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: Thank you and it was that made my day.

49
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: You've managed to stay in touch over twenty years. I

50
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: would say, you're not strangers anymore. No, no, it seemed

51
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 3: like a family mement to me. You know, I wit

52
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: more peoples could be like that, to know, couldna be

53
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 3: like that? That'll be so nice. The world will be

54
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: better too.

55
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: For those wondering at home, Gladys Hankerson was trying to

56
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: dial the area code for one, but she kept dialing

57
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: for one oh and on the end of the phone

58
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: and the voice that you heard in that clip was

59
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: Mike Moffett of Rhode Island and.

60
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: Sam ew and Zara spoke about this earlier this week,

61
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: but there has been an update, and I think it's

62
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: worth sharing. Canada's House or Commons has voted unanimously to

63
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 2: ban LGBT conversion therapy, which is a widely discredited practice

64
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: that aims to change in individual's sexuality or gender identity.

65
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: As for the next steps, now that it has passed

66
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: the lower House, the bill must now be approved by

67
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: the Senate before it becomes law. There were a lot

68
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: of cheers on the House floor when it did pass,

69
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: with MPs on both sides crossing the aisle to shake

70
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: hands and celebrate the moment, a rare occasion in politics.

71
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: All those opposed to the motion will please say nay.

72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: There being no dissenting voice, they declared the motion carible.

73
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: Two. Environmental good news now, and I hope you're really

74
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: settling into the good news rhythm. We have some new

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: research out of the University of Bristol as to how

76
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: we in Australia can help rebuild the Great Barrier Reef.

77
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: The study found that by placing speakers underwater that played

78
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: the sounds of a healthy ocean, fish populated degraded habitats

79
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: twice as quickly as other damaged environments. Absolutely phenomenal research

80
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: there They were inspired by other studies where scientists have

81
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: broadcast bird calls to draw seabirds into particular environments, and

82
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: they founded the same thing has worked underwater. One of

83
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: the researchers said, we realized that the fish might be

84
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: hearing their way home. It was a big week for

85
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: all of us with Spotify getting us Spotify rapped, and

86
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: thinking about the year that we've had in audio, and

87
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: it's clear to me that next year's great Barrier reef

88
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: Spotify Rapped should be full of the sounds of a

89
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: healthy ocean. And just one more quick one before we
