1 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: From the Daily Os. I'm Lucy Tassel, I'm Emma Gillespie. 2 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: It's Monday, the twenty fifth of August. Here's what's making 3 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: headlines this evening. 4 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 2: The sole survivor from Aaron Patterson's fatal Beef Wellington lunch 5 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: says he forgives the convicted triple murderer. Patterson was back 6 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 2: in court today for the first time since last month's 7 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 2: guilty verdict to face impact statements from the loved ones 8 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: of her victims. This included her estranged husband, Simon Patterson, 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 2: and Ian Wilkinson. Simon's parents Don and Gail, and Ian's 10 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 2: wife Heather, died after Aaron Patterson served them a meal 11 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 2: laced with deathcap mushrooms in July twenty twenty three. Ian 12 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 2: was hospitalized for months after the lunch, but ultimately survived. 13 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: He told Victoria's Supreme Court today his health quote has 14 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: never returned to the levels before the fateful lunch after 15 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: forty four years of marriage. Ian said the quote greatest 16 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 2: impact of Erin's actions has been to deprive me of 17 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: Heather's company and Heather's important place in our family. I 18 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 2: continue to carry a heavy burden of grief over her 19 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 2: untimely death. He said. However, Ian offered Aaron Patterson his 20 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: forgiveness and said he hopes she will use her time 21 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: in jail wisely to become a better person. A date 22 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: for Patterson's sentencing has not yet been finalized. 23 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: Australia is on track to reach its twenty thirty climate target. 24 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: According to federal government data. Australia has committed to cutting 25 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: emissions by forty three percent on two thousand and five 26 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: levels by twenty thirty as part of the United Nations 27 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: Paris Agreement. The latest report from the Department of Climate 28 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: Change shows national greenhouse emissions fell by one point four 29 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: percent over the year to March twenty eight percent below 30 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: two thousand and five levels. Climate Change and Energy Minister 31 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: Chris Bowen said quote, if we stay the course and 32 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: continue to lift our efforts, Australia is well on the 33 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: way to reaching the twenty five thirty goal. It comes 34 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: as MP's debate a proposal led by a National's backbencher 35 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: Barnaby Joyce to walk back Australia's emissions reduction targets. 36 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 2: Evacuation orders are in place for over half a million 37 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 2: people in Vietnam as Typhoon Kajiki crosses the country's east coast. 38 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: The system is expected to make landfall tonight, bringing with 39 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: it heavy rainfall and extreme conditions. Parts of eastern Vietnam 40 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: have already been battered by winds of up to one 41 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty six kilometers per hour, with gusts set 42 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 2: to intensify over the coming hours. Authorities are warning the 43 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: typhoon could lead to severe flooding in urban areas and 44 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: landslides in the mountains, as well as widespread power outages. 45 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 2: Vietnamese Prime Minister Fam Minchin issued an urgent directive over 46 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: the weekend, warning Kajiki is highly likely to affect coastal provinces. 47 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: Its prompted mass evacuations across central and East Vietnam. Officials 48 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: are comparing the typhoon strength to Yagi, which killed an 49 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 2: estimated three hundred people when it tore through Vietnam nearly 50 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: a year ago. 51 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: And today's good news. An international team of biologists has 52 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: found an artificial way to give bees a crucial nutrient, 53 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: boosting their population. Bees are a key part of the 54 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: global ecosystem, pollinating crops to allow them to reproduce, helping 55 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: biodiversity and directly impacting the food we eat. Bees need 56 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: a specific nutrient in the pollen they consume from flowers, 57 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: which is increasingly difficult for them to find in nature. 58 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: Beekeepers have since resorted to giving their bees artificial replacements, 59 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: but these options have lacked the proper nutrients. Now, British 60 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: and Danish researchers have developed a more nutritionally complete option. 61 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: During recent trials, bees who ate this new pollen replacement 62 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: reproduced at higher rates compared to other bees. The scientists 63 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: use gene editing technology to engineer what they're calling a 64 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: sustainable and affordable pollen replacement. It's hoped to breakthrough could 65 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: support be colonies and global food supplies for years to come. 66 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: That's the latest from the Daily Oz newsroom for today, 67 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: But if you are looking for something else to listen to, 68 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: check out today's deep dive for an explainer on Kick, 69 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: the platform co founded by an Aussie billionaire that live 70 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 2: streamed the death of a man in France last week. 71 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow with another deep dive, but until then, 72 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: have a great evening. 73 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 3: My name is Lily Maddon and I'm a proud Arunda 74 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 3: Bunjelung Calgotin woman from Gadighl country.

We pay our respects to the 78 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 3: first peoples of these countries, both past and present.
