Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
From The Daily Os.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
I'm Lucy Tassel, I'm Sam Kazlowski.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
It's Monday, the tenth of November. Here's what's making headlines
this evening.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Hundreds of migrants are missing after a boat capsized off
the coast of Malaysia last week. Over the weekend, Malaysia's
Maritime Enforcement Agency reported it had rescued thirteen people and
recovered seven bodies. The head of the Maritime Enforcement Agency
for the region said the boat sank four days ago
around the Malaysia Thailand maritime border. The search area covers

(00:34):
one hundred and seventy square nautical miles, which is about
five hundred and eighty three square kilometers near Langkawi, off
the coast of northwestern Malaysia. The Maritime Enforcement Agency expects
more victims to be found, with an estimated three hundred
total passengers on board the boat. Many are believed to
be Rohinga refugees and ethnic minority violently targeted and not

(00:56):
legally recognized by the Mi and mar government. In a
post of Facebook, the head of the Enforcement agency said
he believes the boat departed from western Myanmar with quote
illegal immigrants. He said strict action will be taken against
people attempting to enter Malaysia's waters without permission and that
it is an issue quote not only about humanity, but
national security.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Princess Anne is on tour in Australia to celebrate the
centenary of a branch of the Australian Defense Force ADF.
It comes days after her brother Andrew was stripped of
his royal titles. Princess Anne is the only daughter of
the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. She is also
the sister of King Charles. The third Prince Edward and

(01:40):
Andrew mount Batton Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew mount
Baton Windsor, is the subject of investigations into his connections
with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Tripp marks the
one hundredth anniversary of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals,
a team of soldiers who support the ADF's quote communications,
electron warfare and cyber capabilities. Princess Ann serves as Colonel

(02:04):
in chief of this team. During her four day trip,
she is visiting New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. The
visit also lines up with Remembrance Day, which will be
observed tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Two senior BBC staff have resigned overclaims the organization misled
viewers with its editing of a speech given by US
President Donald Trump. Director General Tim Davie and CEO of
News Deborah Tourness both announced their resignations on Sunday night
local time after British newspaper The Telegraph accused the BBC
of inaccurate editing. The newspaper reported that in a documentary

(02:40):
called Trump a Second Chance, broadcast one week before the
twenty twenty four US presidential election, the BBC cut parts
of a Trump speech together that were fifty minutes apart,
making him quote appear to encourage the Capitol Hill riot
on the sixth of January twenty twenty one. It credits
a quote internal whistleblowing memo the source of the allegation.

(03:01):
In her statement, Turness said the ongoing controversy is causing
damage to the BBC and that the buck stops with me.
In his statement, Davy did not reference the documentary specifically,
but said quote, some mistakes had been made and I
have to take ultimate responsibility.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
And today's good news. Australia's women's rugby league team, the
Jillarus has defended their Pacific Championship title, defeating New Zealand
forty eight. Superstar fullback to Meeka Upton was back after
a calf injury that saw her ruled out of the
Jilarus previous match against New Zealand earlier this month. Upton
was one of six players to score tries in the

(03:40):
latest match, with Julia Robinson scoring two and being named
Player of the match. Australia went undefeated across the championship
with a dominant sixty nil win over Samoa last month,
setting the stage for Sunday's triumph. The victory comes a
little under a year away from the Rugby League World Championships,
which will be held in at and we'll see men's,

(04:01):
women's and wheelchair competitions held concurrently. Australia are the current
world title holders in both the men's and women's competitions.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
