A Listener Production. Hi, Sasha Barbagat with you. Welcome to The Briefing. You've heard of filler before, but what about zombie filler?
I think if you were asking people before they donated their bodies whether or not they were happy for their fat to be used as a filler, I think that that would be obviously something that's kind of important and part of an informed consent process when you're donating your tissue.
Everything you need to know about the new cosmetic trend and the ethics around it is coming up in the second half of this episode. First, it's time for the headlines with Chris Spirou on Tuesday 16th June.
Morning Sash. Skepticism and cautious optimism is sweeping parts of the Middle East after the US and Iran struck a peace deal to end the war, which will be formalised by the end of the week. Donald Trump says details of the deal will be made public after it is signed in Geneva on Friday. However, it's understood to include no more attacks in Lebanon, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and further negotiations on Iran's nuclear program.
The US president is in France now for this week's G7 summit after his big old party on the lawns of the White House and that UFC fight. Early this morning, he claims ships carrying oil are now moving out of the Strait of Hormuz through a specific corridor he's describing as totally safe and secure. But many shipping companies and insurers say they are waiting for the deal to be signed and all mines to be cleared before recommencing transit.
Yeah, and that's something that Trump was speaking with Francis Emmanuel Macron this morning, saying, we're going in there, we're cleaning out the mines, we're clearing out the mines. We do want oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible and in really, really big numbers. Back home, though, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is among the world leaders who is also welcoming news of a deal. However, he's warning that recovery will take time.
So whilst we want to see the conflict end and we hope that that has occurred, we also want to be very conscious of the fact that that doesn't mean that everything returns to normal in just a day. It will be at a minimum many months before things return to normal. But we do want to give a shout out as well to the efforts of Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and other mediating countries as well.
Just quickly on that, Chris, as well, in terms of the impact still going to be felt for a long time. The federal government is currently considering whether to extend the cut to the fuel excise, which is what has stopped our petrol prices from, remember, we saw them soar to above $2 for unleaded petrol. above $3 for diesel, and stay there for a long time until this cut to the fuel excise was brought in. It's due to wrap up on June 30. They are currently considering whether to extend it, and it looks like they will. So hopefully we'll continue to see that relief at the Bowser going forward.
Yeah, and obviously it's conditional on this conflict settling down. We've heard from Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this morning. He's made his first statements on it. Everything that is needed to protect our country. And essentially he said that Israel is committed to continuing to quash any threats in the region and will do whatever it takes to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. But also he's saying that Israeli forces will remain in Lebanon as well as Gaza and Syria. He says that Israeli troops have done a great job developing, you know, a buffer zone around these countries and that those buffer zones and those troops will remain there for as long as is necessary to protect Israel and secure Israel.
Lebanon was a key part of these negotiations. The fact that we have seen attacks slow down in Lebanon. We haven't seen Lebanon be struck by Israel since news of the deal came to light yesterday. But if all that blows up again and the fact that Israel isn't willing to compromise here could completely topple these negotiations altogether.
