Speaker 1 (00:10):
You're listening to a Muma Mia podcast. Mamma Mea acknowledges
the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast
is recorded on Hi. I'm Cassandra Green from Momma MEA's
twice daily news podcast, The Quickie with Your Headlines. For Tuesday,
September thirty, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have separated after

(00:32):
nineteen years of marriage. The couple, who have been together
since two thousand and six, shared two daughters together, Sunday Rose,
age seventeen, and Faith Margaret, aged fourteen. Saurces say the
couple have been living apart since the summer. People magazine
confirmed the news this morning, reporting that the couple were
balancing demanding schedules. In recent months. Urban has been on

(00:52):
tour in the US, with his next date set for October,
while Kidman has been filming Practical Magic Too in London.
She spent the summer traveling with her children and her
sister Antonia, and Urban was notably absent. People magazine source
described Antonia as her sister's rock. They said Nicole didn't
want the separation and has been fighting to save the marriage.

(01:12):
Two months before the news broke, Kidman applied to become
a resident of Portugal. Urvin was not listed on the form,
but a source told E News this was due to
scheduling conflicts, as the person needed to be physically there
to apply for the visa. Neither Nicole or Keith's representatives
have commented further on the separation. From today, nurses will
be eligible to begin a new prescriptions training program, which

(01:35):
will eventually see them able to prescribe medications to patients.
The program will provide a larger scope of care to
address shortages in the primary healthcare workforce. To be eligible,
nurses must take postgraduate training, demonstrate clinical experience, and participate
in a six month clinical mentorship with a health practitioner.
They will then need to have a formal partnership with

(01:56):
the health practitioner, such as a doctor, with an agreement
their details the circumstances in which the nurse can prescribe
the drugs. Francis Rice, chief nursing officer at the Australian
College of Nursing, said there could be several hundred nurses
studying the program in the first next year and it
could grow from there. The drugs prescribed would depend on
the agreement, but will potentially include many of the same
drugs available to gps, including Schedule eight controlled drugs like fentanyl, morphine,

(02:20):
and oxycodone. Australian Medical Association president Daniel McMullen said she
supports the move, but that the group will lobby against
nurses prescribing such dangerous medicines. She cited the difficulty of
managing drugs of dependence like morphine and other opiates as
her reason. Following the January six riots at the Capitol,
YouTube band multiple profiles from its platform, including US President

(02:42):
Donald Trump. Now, the tech giant owned by Google, has
agreed to pay the equivalent of thirty three million Aussie
dollars to Trump as a part of a settlement with
the plaintiffs in the case. Trump has confirmed that his
share will be contributed to the Trust for the National Mall,
the nonprofit partner of the National Park Service dedicated to
restoring and preserving the downtown area of DC. CNN said

(03:03):
the contribution to the National Mall would support the construction
of the White House State Ballroom. The equivalent of three
points six million Aussie dollars will go to other plaintiffs,
including the American Conservative Union. It's not the first settlement
of its kind. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram,
settled with Trump in January, agreeing to pay the equivalent
of thirty eight million Aussie dollars and exited the same

(03:24):
for the equivalent of fifteen million. The filing says the
settlement does not constitute an admission of liability. Google confirmed
the settlement but has declined a comment. Last week, YouTube
reinstated previously banned creators who promoted COVID nineteen misinformation and
false election content. A letter to the Republican chair of
the House Judiciary Committee said YouTube values conservative voices on

(03:46):
its platform. Police are scaling back their search for fugitive
sovereign citizen Daisy Freeman, a month after he allegedly shot
and killed two police officers in Porpunker. Freeman has not
been seen since August twenty six. Four hundred and fifty
specialist police have been on the ground and searching via
air across the area, with support from the Australian Defense Force.

(04:07):
This has been scaled back to an excess of two
hundred officers. The search is continuing for a four year
old boy who went missing near Juanta. South Australia. Police
said they are throwing everything at the search to find
the boy, known as Gus, after he disappeared from an
outback property around five pm on Saturday. A police helicopter
was making its way to the region this morning, but

(04:27):
at this stage police have had no positive updates. Authorities
are maintaining their efforts and hoping for positive news. Superintendent
Mark Cyrus said it's not suspected anyone had taken the
boy due to the remote location, and said it was
unusual for Gus to have wandered off. A Sydney teacher
has been charged with multiple alleged sex offenses against a
fifteen year old student at a private boys college in

(04:49):
Sydney's North. Ella Clement's, age twenty four, was a teacher
at Saint Augustin's College in Sydney's Northern Beaches. She's been
charged with three accounts of aggravated sexual intercourse with a
child between fourteen and sixteen years old and intentionally sexually
touching a child between ten and sixteen two weeks after
she was arrested. It followed allegations that she engaged in
an inappropriate relationship with a student in her care at

(05:10):
the school. She faced mainly local court on Monday afternoon
when she was granted bail. However, the prosecutor applied for
the decision to be stayed, pausing her release. There will
be a detention hearing in the Supreme Court on Thursday morning.
Matilda star Mary Fowler has walked to the catwalk at
Paris Fashion Week, becoming the first footballer to walk in
Lorel's show. The midfielder, who has been a Lorel Paris

(05:33):
Ambassador since twenty twenty four, rocked her curly hair and
a black suit dress for the occasion. She walked alongside
brand ambassadors including Kendall, Jenna, Eva Longoria, Jillian Anderson and
Helen Mirren. Fowler said that while the catwalk was out
of her comfort zone, it was inspiring to take part
in the event, which is a celebration of women's empowerment
and sisterhood. That's your evening news headlines on Wednesday's episode
