1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Good morning everyone, Welcome to another week. My name is

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Sam and this is the Daily OS. It's Monday, the

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: eighteenth of October. Across the weekend we had some pretty

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: big COVID nineteen announcements and we'll take you through the

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: major ones from Victoria today. In Victoria yesterday there were

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred and thirty eight cases of COVID. New South

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: Wales recorded three hundred and one and the Act recorded

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: thirty three. Zara big weekend for our Victorian listeners. They

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: found out how they're getting out of lockdown? What do

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: we know so far?

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 2: Yesterday Victorian Premier Dan Andrews announce some changes to the

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 2: roadmap and that lockdown would be lifting at eleven fifty

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: nine on Thursday. So what we know now is that

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 2: from that time you'll be allowed ten visitors in your home.

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: Outside gatherings will be limited to fifteen people. There'll be

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 2: a staggered return of years three to eleven. There'll be

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: no travel limit or curfew within metropolitan Melbourne. Victoria is

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: predicted to pass both as seventy percent double dose and

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: ninety percent first dose vaccination rate this week, which is

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: fantastic news for our Victorian listeners.

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: In New South Wales, yesterday there was a major policy

22
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: announcement in the mental health space. One hundred and thirty

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: million dollars was pledged for funding to provide more appointments

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: for psychology and psychiatry services throughout the state. The funding

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: is set to address the rise in eating disorders and

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: self harm presentations, while also launching a suicide prevention training

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: program that's set to be the state's largest ever program.

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: Quarantine free travel is set to resume between Australia and

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: New Zealand's South Island after travel was paused during the

30
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: Delta outbreak in Australia. Both New South Wales and Victoria

31
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: will now allow trips to resume and accept travelers from

32
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: midnight on Tuesday, after The South Island hasn't recorded a

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: COVID nineteen case since last year. Of course, we do

34
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: know that that's not the case in Auckland, as cases

35
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: have continued to spread over there.

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: And today's good news. Two hundred and sixty AFL and

37
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: AFLW players have come together to form the AFL Players

38
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: for Climate Action. They're a group calling for greater action

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: to tackle climate change and according to their co founder

40
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: Tom Campbell quote AFL Players for Climate Action helps players

41
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: find solutions to reduce their own emissions, use their profiles

42
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: to share personal experiences about climate change, and build support

43
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: for greater climate action from clubs and fans. So on

44
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: Saturday morning here in Australia, there was news of a

45
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: terrorist attack in the UK. The killing of British politicians

46
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: Sir David Amess has been declared now a terrorist incident

47
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: by UK police. It's a case that is developing quite

48
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: quickly and we thought we'd get you ahead of a

49
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: major story out of the UK. So A mess was

50
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: stabbed several times in Essex, east of London on Friday

51
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: in the UK time. He was meeting constituents in a

52
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: church at a regular surgery. A twenty five year old

53
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and the

54
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: investigation is being led by counter terrorism police. Zara, what's

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: a surgery in this context?

56
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was a word I hadn't heard before, so

57
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: it's quite unique to UK politics and MPs hold what's

58
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: called a surgery which is basically a roving office. It's

59
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: an opportunity for constituents to meet up with the MPs

60
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: one on one and for the MPs to hear about

61
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: what issues constituents might be having and vice versa. However,

62
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: this is now the second murder in five years of

63
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: a British MP, and it is expected that the security

64
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: protocols around these surgeries will be closely examined, with some

65
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: MP's already calling for the practice to be abandoned.

66
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: So this follows the twenty sixteen murder of British labor

67
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: politician Joe Cox, who was murdered at a similar constituency surgery.

68
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: In the hours after the stabbing over the weekend, we've

69
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: already seen the order of an immediate review of security

70
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: arrangements for MPs, not just in their constituency surgeries, but

71
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: all hours of the day. Here's what the UK Home

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: Secretary Pretty Patel had to say about the incident.

73
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: Just yesterday, less than twenty four hour goos. David was

74
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: in his own constituency doing a locally by surgery, which

75
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: is something that all MPs do. We can week out

76
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: and of course David, as I knew him and as

77
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: we all knew him, was just a passionate advocate and

78
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: a champion for South End. This wonderful wonderful town and

79
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 3: with that, of course, he was a man of the people.

80
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: It's now been a couple of days since the tragic events.

81
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: What do we know about who was involved?

82
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: So firstly we know the twenty five year old man

83
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: is being held at the London Police station under the

84
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: Terrorism Act, and this is an act that allows police

85
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: to detain somebody without charge for a number of days

86
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: while they conduct their investigation. That timeline runs out on

87
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: the twenty second of October where they have to either

88
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: release or charge the man. It's expected that he'll be

89
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: charged with Sir David de Mess's murder. The BBC is

90
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: reporting that the man was referred to the UK's counter

91
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: Terrorist prevent scheme some years ago. Ultimately, this scheme is

92
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: a community led scheme. It allows members of the public

93
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: to refer somebody who they think is at risk of

94
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: radicalizingation to law enforcement to undergo deradicalization preemptive programs. It's

95
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: important to note here, though, that the man was actually

96
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: never a formal subject of interest to MI five the

97
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: Security Service in the UK. Officials have also ruled out

98
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: anybody else involved in the attack, and they're finding out

99
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: a little bit more about how long the man spent

100
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: in this prevent program, and ultimately the key finding here

101
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: is that whilst he was involved, he was quite peripherally

102
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: involved and was never really taken on by the scheme

103
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: as a priority to deradicalize.

104
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: So obviously, as we said earlier, this isn't the first

105
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: time an incident like this has occurred. There was the

106
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 2: tragic killing of Joe Cox and many other attempts over

107
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 2: the last couple of decades. So what further security measures

108
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: do you think will be employed for these MPs in

109
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: the future.

110
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: It's been interesting to read the coverage over the weekend

111
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: from the UK. There is a strong sense that being

112
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: able to meet a politician face to face is a

113
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 1: key pillar of their democratic system. It's a key pillar

114
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: of what it means to them to be in a democracy.

115
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 1: We heard from the Home Secretary that they're still trying

116
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: to find ways to allow face to face meetings with

117
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: constituents to continue. One such suggestion was that they would

118
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: meet constituents behind a screen to prevent possible stab attacks.

119
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: Of course, a number of MPs and their staffers suggesting

120
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: that the entire practice be abandoned and that phone and

121
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: zoom be the preferred methods from now. But we have

122
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: to remember that while this is the second murder in

123
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: the last ten years or so, there's been many, many incidents.

124
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: A number of MPs in the UK, particularly those of color,

125
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: women and those who are outspoken on key issues, have

126
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: twenty four hour security and have security that is of

127
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: a higher level than a number of their colleagues. It's

128
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: now looking likely that this security will be across the board,

129
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: with now the clock ticking for UK police to lay

130
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: charges on the man. We'll certainly hear more about this

131
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: story in the coming days. It's going to be interesting

132
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: to see if the security measures being proposed will be

133
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: passed and whether this will change the way that UK

134
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: citizens interact with their elected officials. Here at home, there's

135
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: plenty of news going on this week. We have the

136
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: beginning of former New South Wales Premier Gladys Breagiclian's public

137
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: Eykak inquiry. That's going to be a big story for

138
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: us to cover this week and we'll be following that

139
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: story closely. Have a fantastic start to the week,
