1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Good morning everybody. My name is Sam puslos Ky. Welcome

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: to another week of the Daily OS. It is the

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: ninth of August. We are now officially in post Tokyo territory.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: We still have the Paralympic Games they start on the

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: twenty fourth August, but we can start to do a

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: bit of a post border on the Tokyo Olympics. That's

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: what we're going to do in our deep dive today. Zara,

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: you're here as well. What happened in terms of COVID

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: nineteen yesterday.

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: Thank you for acknowledging I was here, Sam so yesterday

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: in New South Wales there were two hundred and sixty

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 2: two locally acquired cases. Forty six of those cases were

13
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 2: infectious in the community, and the isolation status of one

14
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: hundred and four cases remains under investigations. There were also

15
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 2: tighter restrictions for the Penrith LGA that were announced yesterday,

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 2: so everyone in that LGA will join residents of the

17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: existing eleven LGA hotspots in being limited in their activities,

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: so they can only leave home for food and other

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: goods and services and exercise within five kilo of the home.

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: Masks and mandatory outdoors all those restrictions. If you do

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: need a refresher, head to our Instagram. As always, the

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: Premier highlighted the role of vaccinations in getting us out

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: of this lockdown. Here's what she said yesterday.

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: We also have a number of mobile hubs, so we're

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 3: advertising or promoting to local residents in those areas of concern,

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 3: places where there are mobile walking centers as well around

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: places of worship community centers. So we're doing both strategies

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: max vaccination hubs, working with the GPS, working with the pharmacists,

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 3: but also having those mobile hubs as well whe people

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 3: are comfortable coming forward.

31
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, across the border, Victoria recorded eleven locally acquired COVID

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: nineteen cases yesterday. The good news was that all of

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: them were linked, but they're not so good news was

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: that none of them were in isolation.

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: Heading north Now and Queensland recorded eight locally acquired cases

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: of COVID yesterday. The lockdown in south east Queensland was

37
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: lifted as of four pm yesterday. However, cans and Yarraba

38
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: enter the snap three day lockdown from four pm after

39
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: an unexpected case was infectious in the community. This was

40
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: a taxi driver, who authorities believe was infectious in the

41
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: community for about ten days.

42
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: It seems like there are wildfires absolutely everywhere, but we

43
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: are now heading to Greece, where over fifty six thousand

44
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: hectares of land have been burnt by severe bush fires

45
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: over the last ten days. We do know that this

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: is one of the worst heat waves in decades, and

47
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: over one thousand Greek firefighters backed by fifteen aircrafts, are

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: continuing to work on the fires. We also know that

49
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: additional reinforcements from abroad are required to help contain the

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: fires that have so far killed two people. Blazers are

51
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 2: expected to continue throughout the week.

52
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: And your Monday good news. The US Citizenship and Immigration

53
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: Services have announced that children born abroad using assisted reproductive

54
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: technology can now qualify for citizenship. This change grants eligibility

55
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: for children of same sex couples born overseas. Before this change,

56
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: the child had to be genetically related to the US parent,

57
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: which excluded children who were born using surrogates and other methods.

58
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: Last night was the closing ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics.

59
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: Eyes are now firmly on the Paralympics, which start in

60
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: about two weeks time, and then beyond that, we're all

61
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: looking to Paris. One of the silver linings of the

62
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: delay of the Tokyo Olympics by year is that we

63
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: only have to wait three years until the next Olympic

64
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: Games in twenty twenty four. I thought this was a

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: good opportunity to run you through my five moments of

66
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: the Games. So let's all imagine that we're helping our

67
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: kids with their school assignments on the Olympics in twenty

68
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: years time. What are we going to remember from Tokyo

69
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. My number five moment of the game was

70
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: the iconic imagery of Gianmaco Tamberi of Italy and Mutobashim

71
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: of Qatar sharing the gold medal in the high jump

72
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: on day nine of the Olympics. It was incredible to

73
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: see two athletes at the top of their game sharing

74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: a victory. Then we started learning the fact that they

75
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: were best friends, and we could not take our eyes

76
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: away from their reactions. Tamberry said, I still can't believe

77
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: it happened. Sharing with a friend is even more beautiful.

78
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: It was just magical. At number four was the incredible

79
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: resilience and the lessons we all learned from Simone Biles

80
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: when she withdrew from the gymnastics team event and then

81
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: made a stirring return in the beam event of the

82
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: individual gymnastics tournament. There was really a uniform global reaction

83
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: of congratulations and of strength to what Biles displayed, and that,

84
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: alongside Naomi Osaka's actions in pulling out of the French

85
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: Open earlier, this year has really, in my view, heralded

86
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: in a new era of how mental health and sport

87
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: relate to each other, and especially how young women are

88
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: setting the tone for how we need to relate to

89
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: our sporting heroes. At number three, it's got to be

90
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: Peter Bowl. Three point one million Australians tuned in to

91
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: watch the final of the eight hundred meters a couple

92
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: of days ago. Now and again it is just an

93
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: iconic Olympics moment that none of us will forget. What

94
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: we've shown this Olympics is that we have the potential

95
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: to rumble with the big players, with the Jamaicas and

96
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: this year the Italy's and the US in some really

97
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: really fantastic display of athleticism. Number two and I had

98
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: a tear in my eye on Saturday night when we

99
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: watch the Boomers finally get their medal. This is one

100
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: that has been coming for decades for Australian basketball. I'm

101
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: actually going to let Patty Mills do the talking.

102
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 4: Here will waiting for this moment for a long time,

103
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 4: and you know, it's taken a lot of experiences, a

104
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: lot of ups, a lot of downs for us to

105
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 4: get over the hump. It's our culture at the end

106
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: of the day, it's our Australian culture, our Pozzi.

107
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: Spirit and finally the moment of the Games. And this

108
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 1: is what my kids will be doing in twenty years

109
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: when they're in school studying the Tokyo Olympics. They're going

110
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: to be talking about the success of the Australian women

111
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: in the pool in Tokyo. It was relentless, how many

112
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: records were broken, how many golds, but also the support

113
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: and love that the athletes showed for each other in

114
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: and the round competition. There were so many heroes, Emma McKeon,

115
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: Arin Titmas, Kaylie McEwan, Kate Campbell. We have a whole

116
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: league of heroes now to look at and I wouldn't

117
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: be surprised if we see junior enrollments in swimming skyrocket.

118
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: The moment for me was when Emma mckinn got her

119
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: final gold medal for the fifty meters freestyle. Have a

120
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: listen to what I think was the call of the Games.

121
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 5: Emma McKean has going to be a school assignment around

122
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 5: primary schools right around the country.

123
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: Basil, I'll do an assignment on her.

124
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: Here we got kids eleven medals at Olympic level, seven

125
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 5: medals at these Games, only the second person to do

126
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 5: it four gold medals, the only Australian at one games,

127
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 5: and she's joined Ian Thorpe with five Olympic gold medals.

128
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: Emma mckeaan, well, I think that the game certainly surprised

129
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: everyone in how much relief and joy they brought to us,

130
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 2: especially in lockdown. We did for a long time before

131
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: speaking about the possible health implications of holding the Games

132
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: during a pandemic. Looking back, what has manifested on the

133
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: health and COVID nineteen front.

134
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: It's very clearly a tale of two cities, the bubble

135
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: in Tokyo where the athletes stayed, and outside in Tokyo.

136
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: Outside in Tokyo, generally there is a surge in infections

137
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: fueled by the delta variant. We've now crossed five thousand

138
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: new cases a day, and Tokyo's hospitals are threatened to

139
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: be overwhelmed. Inside the bubble, however, it's a totally different

140
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: story and it is really an example of how effective

141
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: a bubble can be. Authorities are reporting four hundred and

142
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: four games related infections since July one, and that's come

143
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: from six hundred thousand screening tests, so the infection rate

144
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: there is about zero point zero two percent. There were

145
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: only a handful of athletes that had to pull out

146
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: of their events because of COVID nineteen infections, and most

147
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: athletes are reporting that the games went off pretty much

148
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: without a hitch.

149
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how we managed to finish a podcast

150
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: about the joys of the Olympic on the note of

151
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: COVID nineteen, but we seemingly have so. On that note,

152
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: we will leave you there for today, but there is

153
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: a lot of news around, especially domestically on the COVID

154
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: nineteen front. Follow us on Instagram at the dally Os.

155
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: It's where over one hundred and sixty thousand young people

156
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: get their news every day, and we would of course

157
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: love to welcome you to our community
