  Speaker 1: After Australia we go down at Tomato. Good morning to you.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: So ALBERNIZI has been responding about that Chinese research ship
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: which is traveling in your waters.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, Australian agencies and now monitoring this high tech
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Chinese research ship which actually also operates a deep sea
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: submersible vessel. Now where is it now? It's making its
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: way through southern Australian waters, So tracking websites and agencies
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: as I mentioned, have tracked the ship passing the Victorian
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: coastline recently. Now it did just complete joint surveys with
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: New Zealand, as we know. The Prime Minister was asked
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: about the ship while he was visiting Perth and his
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: response was he'd prefer the ship wasn't in Australian waters,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: but suggests that China isn't breaking any international laws. And
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: he also says that, as he put it, we live
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: in circumstances where just as Australia has vessels in the
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: South China Sea and vessels in the Taiwan Strait, this
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: vessel is here. He also says he will make sure
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: that we represent Australian interests as he said it, and
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: has every confidence, and he repeated that every every confidence
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: in our defense force and security agencies. Now this comes
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: just a few weeks after China's navy conducted an unprecedented
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: circumnavigation of much of Australia.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: It's the fine out of brickmanship. Now you have a
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: growing diabetes epidemic.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, how many Australian adults have diabetes? New data
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: has been released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics Health
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Measures Survey, and I think this is quite a army.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: One in fifteen Australians have diabetes. Now, that is an
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: increase of about one point five percent compared to a
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: decade ago, so that makes it oh more than well,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I think it is about one point three million Aussies
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: have diabetes. Men more likely to have diabetes than women.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Adults living in the most disadvantaged areas are more likely
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: to have diabetes. And interestingly, I found that Diabetes Australia
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Chief Executive Just King says there's actually a stigma around
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: even speaking about it. So some people are very uncomfortable
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: about saying that they have diabetes. Hence they're not getting
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the support and the treatment that they may need. So
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: she's saying we need to ditch the stigma. And the
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: data also showed that there's a growing number of Elsie's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: with high cholesterol and also vitamin deficiencies.
• 2:23
