1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: Hey everyone, welcome to the Daily Oz. My name is 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: Sam Kozlowski and I'm joined by Zara's sideline. It's the 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: second of July. Zara, how are you? 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 2: I am good.

Meanwhile, over in Queensland there were two locally 18 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 2: acquired cases on the second day of their lockdown. In 19 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: the Northern Territory there was just one new locally acquired cases. 20 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: And then despite South Australia having a bit of a 21 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 2: scare and recording five locally acquired cases, on Wednesday, there 22 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: was zero case is yesterday. 23 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: Over two thousand detainees were released from prison in Mianmar 24 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: on Wednesday morning, including anti coup protesters and journalists. A 25 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: military spokesman said a total of twenty two hundred and 26 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: ninety six people have been released. They took part in protests, 27 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: but not in leading roles. They didn't participate in violent 28 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: acts now. According to some reports, the activists have described 29 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: the release as a ploy by the ruling military to 30 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: move attention from the ongoing security crackdown. 31 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: If you want to know a bit more about this situation, 32 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: or you've forgotten what happened with the coup, you can 33 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: check out today's newsletter Explain Up, because we have taken 34 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: you through where we're at with that story and where 35 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: we're looking towards. One hundred and eighty two unmarked graves 36 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: have been found in there a former Canadian residential school 37 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: in British Columbia. And you might be familiar with this 38 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: story because we've heard it now twice before. But this 39 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: is a third separate incident. It's too early to say 40 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: if the remains belonged to former students of the school, 41 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: but it comes after seven one hundred and fifty one 42 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: unmarked graves and remains were found at the site of 43 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: a former residential school last week. Indigenous leaders have said 44 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 2: that they expect more graves will be found as investigations continue. 45 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: It's the type of week where one good news story 46 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: ain't going to cut it, so we're going to give 47 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: you five good news stories. There's over ten million Australians 48 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: in some sort of lockdown at the moment, so flick 49 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: this to a mate also inside and it'll brighten up 50 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: their day. Let's get straight into the good news train. 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: First up, the European Union has announced it will aim 52 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: to ban caged animal farming by twenty twenty seven. This 53 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: includes rabbits, young hens, quails, duck and geese, and the 54 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: EU Health Commissioner said animals are sentient beings and we 55 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: have a moral societal responsibility to ensure that on farm 56 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: conditions for animals reflect this. 57 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: I think that this is probably good news to everybody 58 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: except me. But the UK government is set to impose 59 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: a nationwide pre nine PM ban on TV adverts for 60 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: food tye in sugar, salt and fat, so that starts 61 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: from the end of next year, and those TV adverts 62 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: including breakfast cereals, yogurts, ready meals, chicken nuggets, and battered fish. 63 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: Will only be a Nuggets will only. 64 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 2: Be allowed to be played between nine pm and five 65 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 2: thirty am, which is always when I get my junk 66 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: food intake. 67 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: I think Zara is going to have to start looking 68 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: up chicken nugget adverts on YouTube to fill that void. 69 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: Moving on to our third good news story, and we're 70 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: going over to California, where public school students will now 71 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: have access to free breakfast and lunch no questions asked. 72 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: So Basically, before this reform, in order to qualify for 73 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: the free lunch program, a parent had to provide income 74 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: information and immigration status. Now, the big problem there was 75 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: that when parents didn't speak English, they didn't feel comfortable 76 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: enough coming into the school, so students were missing out 77 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: on vital meals of the day. That now totally wipes 78 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: that requirement and now a students can get it no 79 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,559 Speaker 1: questions asked. 80 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: Saying In the US, and on the last day of 81 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: Pride months, the US government has announced that there will 82 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: now be a third gender option on passports. So that 83 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: means that the Americans who identify as non binary, intersex, 84 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 2: and gender nonconforming no longer have to choose whether they 85 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 2: are male or female, though we don't know yet what 86 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: that option will be labeled. Secretary of State Anthony Blinkin 87 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 2: said in a statement that the move was a step 88 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: toward ensuring the fair treatment of LGBTQUI plus US citizens, 89 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: regardless of their gender or sex. 90 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: For our second to last good news, we're going to 91 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: talk about a virus that is not COVID, and the 92 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 1: World Health Organization has just declared China malaria free after 93 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: a seventy year effort to eradicate the disease. In the 94 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: nineteen forties, China used to report around thirty million cases 95 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: per year of malaria. However, a number of government efforts 96 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: and initiatives have declined that number to be zero in 97 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. 98 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: Our last bit of good news is arguably the best 99 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: news of the week, and that is that today is 100 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 2: TDA is one hundredth episode.
