Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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.

Chapter 2: What are the latest developments in the US-Iran peace deal?
Well, as well, the ceasefire, it's believed, is going to last 60 days and that's where further negotiations are going to take place and that is where this deal could fall over.
Back home, and the Australian Federal Police has confirmed it's launching an investigation into allegations made by pro-Palestinian activists that they were tortured and raped by Israeli forces. Four Australian women who were part of the Global Samud Flotilla, which travelled to Gaza with critical aid last month, met with Foreign Minister Penny Wong at Parliament House yesterday afternoon.
They presented her with a dossier of their alleged abuse from when they were taken into custody. The women claimed they were kidnapped, sexually assaulted and tortured.
We were really happy that we were given the meeting. I think that we ambitiously and maybe naively thought that some of the demands that we had issued to Senator Wong would have been met, but it ended up being more about the trauma that we had suffered. She definitely believes that we were kidnapped, that we were tortured, that we were imprisoned and that some of us were raped.
So that has been established that she believes that.
That was Juliette Lamont speaking there.
Yeah, so the Australian flotilla members, you might have heard Juliette reference it there, the other things they'd been pushing for were the expulsion of Israel's ambassador and ending the supply of Australian-made military material to Israel. But Wong has stopped short of supporting that. Now, she has, though, expressed to the women that she believes their allegations, as we heard earlier,
and she has pressured Israel to conduct an independent and transparent investigation. Israel has denied there was any mistreatment of the more than 400 activists that were arrested. The AFP, meantime, will conduct its own investigation with an update to be provided in due course.
Yeah, and look, if you want to hear more about these activists and their story and, you know, what it was like on board and being detained by Israeli forces, I spoke to one of them, Niamh O'Connor, who also met with Foreign Minister Penny Wong. A link to that chat will be in the show notes.
