It's the second time a Russian ambassador to Australia has been summoned to the Department of Foreign Affairs in as many years after Melbourne man Oscar Jenkins was killed fighting for Ukraine in January 2025.

And today's good news, a first of its kind type 1 diabetes treatment has been approved for use in Australia.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration has approved teplizumab sold as T-Zield, a treatment that's being heralded as the most important innovation since insulin was discovered more than 100 years ago.

Administered as a once daily intravenous infusion over a two-week period, T-Zield can delay the onset of the autoimmune disease for patients with early stage type 1 diabetes.

It works by binding to specific immune cells to stop them from attacking the pancreas, allowing it to continue producing its own insulin.

An estimated 25,000 Aussies unknowingly live with the early pre-symptomatic stages of the disease.

RACGP Specific Interest Diabetes Chair Dr Gary Deed welcomed the TGA approval, saying this new treatment allows for active surveillance, active intervention and delay in progression.

We will be back tomorrow with another Deep Dive, but until then, have a great evening.

YWCA Australia are the ones behind today's episode and they work on gender equality in really hands-on ways.

Housing, leadership, advocacy and their membership is for people who really want to be involved in that work.

Not just donate and forget but genuinely connect with the community and contribute to something that's meaningful.

If you're interested you can become a member and be part of the change.

Today's episode was made possible by our friends over at YWCA Australia.

Good morning and welcome to The Daily Oz.

It's Wednesday the 27th of May.

The enhanced games, described by some as the steroid Olympics, promised to shatter world records and redefine sport.

Instead, a clean swimmer beat doped athletes and Australia's biggest name finished dead last twice.

Today, we are going to recap how we got here and break down what actually happened at this week's inaugural Enhanced Games in Vegas.

But first, you're going to hear a quick message from Sarah in the TDA team.
