From The Daily Oz, I'm Lucy Tassel.
I'm Zara Seidler.
It's Friday the 31st of July.
Here's what's making headlines this evening.
An Australian mother-daughter duo linked to ISIS have pleaded not guilty to slavery offences.
The women were charged in May after returning to Australia with other family members of former IS fighters.
54-year-old Kausar Ahmad was granted bail in June with a magistrate finding she posed a very low risk to the community.
However, her 31-year-old daughter Zainab was refused bail due to a lack of compelling evidence that she had renounced the terrorist group.
The pair appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court via video link on Friday as they each entered their pleas.
Their cases have been fast-tracked to the Supreme Court where they will both stand trial.
Calzar's bail was extended until August when she's due in court for a brief appearance.
Zainab has not made any further bail applications and remains in police custody.
And today's good news, a five-year study tracking African elephants has found the species can relearn how to live in the wild after years in captivity.
Researchers monitored 11 formerly captive elephants, some who'd spent decades in tourist camps and circuses, across South African reserves.
Their behaviour was broadly similar to elephants that had never been held in captivity, according to findings from the Elephant Reintegration Trust.
The study found elephants had the best chance of rehabilitation when released in groups with existing wild elephants nearby to learn from.
The findings add to growing evidence of successful rewilding, with recent studies from Sri Lanka and Botswana also showing formerly captive elephants can adapt quickly to life in the wild.
It's estimated more than 15,000 Asian and African elephants are held captive globally.
We'll be back on Monday with another Deep Dive.
Until then, have a great weekend.
