1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Good morning, and welcome to the Daily OS. It's Friday,

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: the twenty third of April. My name is Zara Seidler,

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: and helping me make sense of today's news is Sam Kozlowski.

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: Making news today, Chauven in solitary.

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: Confinement, India's COVID crisis.

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: Some good news about school lunches in the US.

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: And some silver linings from this week in the news.

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: Here's today's daily digest.

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: Former police officer Derek Chauvin has been placed in solitary

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: confinement at a maximum security prison in Minnesota. He'll remain

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: there until his sentencing on June sixteenth. According to a

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: spokesperson for the Minnesota prison system, Chauven will not be

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: near any other prisoners out of fears for his safety.

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: Chauvin was found guilty of second deary murder, third degree murder,

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: and second deary manslaughter on Tuesday for the death of

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: George Floyd.

17
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: India has recorded three hundred and fourteen eight hundred and

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: thirty five cases of COVID nineteen on Wednesday, breaking the

19
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: record for the highest number of infections recorded in a

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: single day in any country since the beginning of the pandemic.

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: India is currently in the midst of a deadly second

22
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: wave and the healthcare system is struggling to keep up

23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: with the infection rate. Australia will limit direct flights from

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: India to Australia.

25
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: The Indonesian government has asked Australia in Singapore for assistance

26
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: after a submarine went missing off the waters of Bali.

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: The submarine was carrying forty nine crew members, its commander

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: and three gunners on this Australian Foreign Minister Maurice Payne said,

29
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: we operate very different submarines from this one, but the

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: Australian Defense Force will work with defense operations in Indonesia

31
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: to determine what we may be able to do.

32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: And your Friday good news. The United States Department of

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: Agriculture has announced an extension on universal free lunch through

34
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty one twenty two school year for all children.

35
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: The extension also includes students who are learning remotely, with

36
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: parents allowed to pick up multiple days of food at once,

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: even without the child in their presence. Effort is expected

38
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: to reach more of the estimated twelve million American news

39
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: experiencing food insecurity.

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: It's been another tough week for news both in this

41
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: country and across the world. It's been difficult to write

42
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: about George Floyd. It's been difficult to write about Kelly Wilkinson,

43
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: who was found dead in her backyard in the Gold Coast.

44
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: It's been difficult to read and to talk about the

45
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: deaths of a father and daughter in Adelaide. So once

46
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: again we thought we'd end the week with some good news,

47
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: because there always is a silver lining to the news

48
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: that we read. So here's three silver linings that stuck

49
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: out to Salmini this week. The first is that the

50
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US, the CDC,

51
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: says fewer than six thousand Americans have contracted COVID after

52
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: being fully vaccinated. We know that the American government is

53
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: vaccinating at an extremely fast pace. And when we look

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: across the world at India, at Brazil and these remarkable

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: second and third waves, is really heartening to see a

56
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: country like America, which was leading for so long in

57
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: the number of deaths and cases in the world, now

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: having case numbers and mortality rates dropped significantly. A representative

59
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: from the CDC called this really really encouraging news, and

60
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: we tend to agree. Now We've got a bit of

61
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: a theme of American silver linings this week. So our

62
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: next good news comes from LA. All homeless people living

63
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: on LA's skid Row, which is one of the nation's

64
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: biggest concentrations of homeless people in the country, must be

65
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: offered housing by October eighteen, and that has been ordered

66
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: by a federal judge. Unaccompanied women and children must be

67
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: offered housing within ninety days. And our final silver lining

68
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: is that the Biden administration is considering a planned cap

69
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: nicotine levels in cigarettes. Now, we wrote a post on

70
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: our insta this week about a similar proposal from the

71
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: New Zealand government, so if you want to read about that,

72
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: head to our Instagram. But the Biden administration is reportedly

73
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: considering reducing nicotine levels with a goal of making cigarettes

74
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: left addictive, and they're hoping to coax smokers to either

75
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: quit or switch to other products that are considered to

76
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: be safer. Next Friday, we're going to have a very

77
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: special guest with us discussing all things news, and this

78
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: will happen on the last Friday of every month. We

79
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: want you, our daily podcast listeners, to have relatable, accessible,

80
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: and new perspectives on the news every single day, so

81
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: we're going to bring some influential voices to join us

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: and reflect on what the big stories are so you

83
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: feel empowered to discuss the news, current affairs and politics.

84
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: Confidently, it's a really exciting next step for us at

85
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: the Daily OS and we cannot wait to bring you

86
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: some great content. That's all from us this week, but

87
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: if you want to follow the news over the weekend,

88
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: follow us on Instagram at the Daily OS. It's where

89
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: over one hundred thousand Australians get their news over the

90
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: weekend and we'd love you to be part of the community.

91
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: Happy Friday,
