Speaker 1 (00:05):
From The Daily Os. I'm Billy Fitzimus, I'm Sam Kazlowski.
It's Friday, the fourth of July. Here's what's making headlines
this evening.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
The US Congress has passed Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.
There are two main categories in the bill, tax changes
and spending cuts. As part of the changes, taxes on
tips for hospitality workers and on overtime pay will be scrapped,
fulfilling one of President Trump's campaign promises. As part of
the spending cuts, the government will cut one trillion US

(00:35):
dollars over the next decade from Medicaid, which is a
health insurance scheme covering low income earners, Americans with disabilities,
and pregnant women. Some Republicans oppose the bill, despite party
control of both chambers, citing concerns around national debt, as
independent analysis projects the package will increase federal debt by
trillions over the next decade.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Two bodies of men have been found in a house
in the Sydney suburb of Surrey Hills, according to New
South Wales Police. Police said they understand the men died
at different times within the past month, meaning their bodies
have been there for weeks. The men's identities are not
yet known, but they are believed to be in their
seventies and eighties. A woman in her sixties who also

(01:19):
lives at the house has spoken to detectives, but investigations
are ongoing.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
The football world is in mourning after the sudden death
of Liverpool and Portugal star Diogo Jotta and his brother Andre.
The brothers, who were both professional footballers, died in a
single vehicle car accident in Spain. The crash was reportedly
caused by a tire blowout as they attempted to overtake
another vehicle. Authorities are investigating whether or not speed was

(01:46):
a factor. A father to three kids, Jotta had married
his long term partner just eleven days before the crash.
Portugal team mate Christiano Ronaldos said, doesn't make any sense.
Just now we were together in the national team.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Now you were married, and today's good news. One of
Australia's most endangered species, the coroberrey frog, has seen its
largest ever release into a new South Wales national park.
More than five hundred endangered corroberrey frogs were released into
Brinda Bella National Park after being bred at Taronga Zoo
in Sydney. The frogs were bred in partnership with the

(02:22):
New South Wales government as part of long term conservation
efforts to increase the population of the corroboree frogs, which
are an integral part of Australia's sub alpine ecosystem.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
That's all we've got for you from the Daily os newsroom.
If you need something to listen to that'll make you happy,
hopefully on your way home on this Friday evening, have
a listened to this morning's podcast. I talk you through
the science of being cool. We'll speak to you again
on Monday. Until then, have a wonderful weekend. My name
is Lily Maddon and I'm a proud Arunda Bunjelung Calcottin

(02:54):
woman from Gadigal Country. The Daily oz acknowledges that this
podcast is recorded on the lands of the Gadigal people
and pays respect to all Aboriginal and Torrestrate island and nations.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
We pay our respects to the first peoples of these countries,
both past and present.
