1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: WSFM News. It is six thirty three. Good morning, I'm

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Natasha Lee. We're learning more about those cracks on all

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: twelve light rail trams that are falls to the Inner

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: West Line in Sydney to shut down for eighteen months.

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: Senior officials say the cracks can be seen to open

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: and close even when the Spanish built trams are moving

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: on straight sections of the track. The debacle has prompted

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: oppositionally to Chris Mins to make a case for a

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: focus on building our transport network at home.

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: Last six big transport projects procured overseas had budget blowouts

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: of between forty and fifty percent. In addition to that,

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 2: there's been serious areas in nearly all of them.

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: We've hit another very important milestone in the race to

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: vaccinate the population against COVID. New South Wales has become

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: the first state to hit ninety percent double dose vaccinated.

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't give us any extra freedoms right now, but

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: if we do reach ninety five percent of second doses,

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: they remaining five percent and will instantly get the same

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: freedoms as everyone else. Meanwhile, a COVID health alert has

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: been issued for three gyms across Sydney's in a suburbs

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: after eleven cases were linked back there. Barry's boot Camp

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: in King's Cross, Surrey Hills and Martin Place have all

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: been listed as exposure sites. A new COVID prevention drug

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: has cleared its first hurdle to being rolled out in Australia,

25
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: the TGA granting the AstraZeneca made Medicine and early green

26
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: light as it awaits similar approvals overseas. Dubbed an antibody cocktail,

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: its maker's hope it will help stop non infected people

28
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: contracting the disease. However, they say it is not a

29
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: replacement for the COVID vaccine and Malala use of side.

30
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: The Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who survived being shot by

31
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: the Taliban at just fifteen, has tied the knot. The

32
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: twenty four year old campaigner for girls education announced the

33
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: news on social media. She now lives in the UK.

34
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: WSFM stort musman Kowajha is fired back at cricket legend

35
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: Ian Chappel who said he's not good enough to get

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: another test recall. Kawaja is in the mix to be

37
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: picked for the Aussie squad after scoring consecutive centuries in

38
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: the Sheffield Shield. As for the criticism, he's told Fox

39
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: Sports He's not fussed to me. It's water off for

40
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: ducks back honestly, and Chapelle will have his opinions because

41
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: after you know, as a player, just constraint on things

42
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: you're good at. I mean Chapelle is not even the

43
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: best player in his family. So the Gold Coast Titans

44
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: have publicly confirmed their interest in Melbourne storm hooker Brandon

45
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: Smith after he was photographed shaking hands with club Powerbrokers

46
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: CEO Steve Midgell said Smith is a fears competitor but

47
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: knows it will be a battle to secure his services

48
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: and schemes. Governing body wants to become the first climate

49
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: positive international sports federation by next year. That means it

50
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: will offset its carbon footprint for a rainforest conservation initiative

51
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: in the Peru and Amazon regions
