Speaker 1 (00:04):
This is the latest from your news feet. It's Wednesday,
the twenty ninth of May. There's still no sign of
a mother and baby, more than twenty four hours after
a humed placenta and umbilical cord were found on a
Sydney riverbank, as officials plead for the woman to take
herself and her newborn to hospital. An urgent police operation

(00:26):
to find the pair entered its second day yesterday, after
a local dog walker discovered signs of birth on the
banks of the Cooks River in Earlwood on Monday afternoon.
Police spent Monday night and much of yesterday searching along
the river and surrounding areas, with police divers spending the
morning combing through mangroves on the river's edge. Heat senses

(00:50):
have been installed in the homes of teachers in a
remote Queensland community and the government has now also urged
them to sleep with juressal arms. In an extraor ordinary move,
the state government has increased protection measures for teachers on
Mornington Island amid escalating violence, including reports a teacher was
struck by a student wielding a cricket bat and rocks

(01:12):
were thrown at the school. Principal sources say teachers have
been encouraged to sleep with duress alarms on their bedside tables.
We'll be back after this. A rogue food delivery rider
who clocked up two hundred and forty demerit points since
the start of the year is allegedly still on the

(01:33):
road driving dangerously and authorities are struggling to stop him.
The Daily Telegraph revealed the shocking record of the twenty
four year old French national last month, who has been
using an international driver's license while working for multiple food
delivery businesses across Sydney. But staggeringly, it is alleged that

(01:54):
despite being warned by police not to drive due to
his lengthy record, the man canntinues to flount the law
and has racked up another one hundred and forty five
demerit points in the past three weeks. And West Adelaide
footballer Sam May has been dubbed a miracle man after
making a remarkable recovery from serious injuries from a fall

(02:17):
at a Port Lincoln hotel last month, just five weeks
after falling through the roof of the Pier Hotel in
the early hours of the morning and suffering life altering
injuries following a sandfull game against Norwood on the Air Peninsula.
May is back home after being released from hospital. The
twenty four year old is said to be in good

(02:38):
spirits and contacted Blood's coach Adam Hartlett last Friday to
say he would soon be back at the club. We'll
have an update to your newsfeed tomorrow.
