After a few hours or days, the koalas will eventually climb down from one tree to seek tasty leaves on another, and wander into the harmless traps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#039;s hard to confuse a koala with any other animals - they&#039;re pretty easy to spot,\u201d says Jodie Wakeman, veterinary care and clinical director at Friends of the Koala, a non-profit that runs a wildlife hospital where the koalas are being brought for vaccination.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"4588754,4432342\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem toReplace\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.nbcnews.com//news//world//video-shows-koalas-other-animals-hurt-australia-s-fires-getting-n1113436/" data-publish-at=\"1578668820\" data-url=\"video-shows-koalas-other-animals-hurt-australia-s-fires-getting-n1113436\">Video shows koalas, other animals hurt in Australia's fires getting help<\/a><\/li><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//2020//03//24//koalas-saved-from-australian-wildfires-released-back-into-natural-habitat/">Koalas saved from Australian wildfires released back into natural habitat<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>After a check-up to make sure the animals are in good condition, researchers administer anaesthesia and shots of vaccine, then keep them under observation for 24 hours after they wake up to confirm there are no unexpected side effects, says Wakeman.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to vaccinate healthy koalas to prevent them from becoming infected with chlamydia.<\/p>\n<p>Before release, the researchers mark the koalas with a dab of pink dye on their backs, to ensure the same animals aren\u2019t caught twice.<\/p>\n<p>When the first vaccinated koala was returned to her habitat in March, the scientists placed her cage at the base of a tree and opened the door.

estimated that about 15 billion trees are cut down each year around the world, and their total number has nearly halved since the onset of human civilisation. \n\nAustralia is now taking steps to address this issue by making sure new residential areas are built without indiscriminately chopping down trees. \n\nThe Western Australian government has introduced new planning laws to require a minimum number of trees for any new residential development. \n\nAdditionally, 15 per cent of a building site will need to be dedicated to \"soft landscaping,\" such as a lawn, with the requirement lowered to 10 per cent if an important tree is preserved. \n\nSustainable infill development \n\nAhead of the new planning laws, which will take effect in September, a sustainable building consultancy, the Forever Project, has already managed to build a workable example. \n\nIn an area of 800 m2 in Perth, four houses and a shed are nestled under a lush tree canopy. \n\nAbout 40 trees thrive in this urban setting, keeping the homes cool and providing safe habitats for wild animals and birds. \n\nRecent research in Central Europe has found that the shade provided by trees can lower the surface temperature of cities in the summer by up to 12\u00b0C. \n\n\"The urban forest is so precious, and it's such an important part of what makes our community liveable. It gets sacrificed, we believe, because that's the only way we can do infill,\" said Chris Ferreira, Founder of the Forever Project. \n\nInfill development involves building in vacant or under-used land lots within urban areas. \n\nLocal authorities hope the new rules will help convince people of the benefits of keeping trees. \n\n\"In many of the developments in the past, the entire block is either roof cover or paving, so we need to encourage tree canopy, and ensure that there's more shade, cooler suburbs, and also places for animals and birds,\" said Western Australian Planning Minister Rita Saffioti. \n\nFor more on this story, watch the video in the media player above. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>It\u2019s estimated that about 15 billion trees are cut down each year around the world, and their total number has nearly halved since the onset of human civilisation.<\/p>\n<p>Australia is now taking steps to address this issue by making sure new residential areas are built without indiscriminately chopping down trees.<\/p>\n<p>The Western Australian government has introduced new planning laws to require a minimum number of trees for any new residential development.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, 15 per cent of a building site will need to be dedicated to \"soft landscaping,\" such as a lawn, with the requirement lowered to 10 per cent if an important tree is preserved.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7356942\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//next//2023//01//30//this-mega-lab-can-create-sun-snow-wind-and-rain-all-to-work-out-how-to-build-better-houses/">This mega-lab can create sun, snow, wind and rain - all to work out how to build better houses<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2>Sustainable infill development<\/h2><p>Ahead of the new planning laws, which will take effect in September, a sustainable building consultancy, the Forever Project, has already managed to build a workable example.<\/p>\n<p>In an area of 800 m2 in Perth, four houses and a shed are nestled under a lush tree canopy.<\/p>\n<p>About 40 trees thrive in this urban setting, keeping the homes cool and providing safe habitats for wild animals and birds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov//34815395///">Recent research<\/strong><\/a> in Central Europe has found that the shade provided by trees can lower the surface temperature of cities in the summer by up to 12\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>\"The urban forest is so precious, and it&#039;s such an important part of what makes our community liveable.

government seeks to prevent the next generation from becoming addicted to nicotine, the country's health minister Mark Butler said on Tuesday. \n\nThe tobacco tax will also be raised by 5 per cent a year starting in September, while the importation and packaging of e-cigarettes will be strictly regulated. \n\n\"Vapes contain more than 200 chemicals that do not belong in the lungs. Some of the same chemicals you will find in nail polish remover and weed killer,\" Butler said. \n\nThe government will work with the states and territories to shut down the sale of vapes in retail and convenience stores while making it easier to get a prescription for therapeutic use. \n\nUnder the new rules, vapes will only be sold in pharmacies and require \"pharmaceutical-type\" packaging.\u00a0 \n\nNicotine vapes already require a prescription in Australia, but a black market for the products is thriving, with all kinds of vapes - including disposable ones - sold in convenience stores. \n\nTo tackle the growing black market, the government will increase the product standards for vapes, including by restricting flavours and colours, and\u00a0will require a reduction in the maximum allowed nicotine concentrations and volumes.\u00a0 \n\nSingle-use vapes, which are popular with young people, will also be banned. \n\n\"This is a product targeted at our kids,\" Butler said. \"Vaping has become the No. 1 behavioural issue in high schools, and it\u2019s becoming widespread in primary schools.

In 2012, it became the first country to force cigarette makers to sell their tobacco products in plain packaging. \n\nIt also has one of the lowest smoking rates among the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, with 11.2 per cent of Australians 15 and over smoking in 2019, according to government statistics. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Australia has announced tough new rules on vaping and smoking that will see the sale of e-cigarettes restricted to pharmacies and to people with a prescription.<\/p>\n<p>Recreational vaping will be banned as the government seeks to prevent the next generation from becoming addicted to nicotine, the country&#039;s health minister Mark Butler said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The tobacco tax will also be raised by 5 per cent a year starting in September, while the importation and packaging of e-cigarettes will be strictly regulated.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7302684\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//health//2023//08//14//smoking-in-europe-which-countries-are-the-most-and-least-addicted-to-tobacco-and-vaping/">Smoking in Europe: Which countries are the most and least addicted to tobacco and vaping?<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\"Vapes contain more than 200 chemicals that do not belong in the lungs.

group of Indigenous Australians have filed a human rights complaint against 20 large pension funds over their investments in two \u201ccatastrophic\u201d gas projects. \n\nThe traditional landowners of the Tiwi Islands near Darwin, and the Pilliga Forest northwest of Sydney , claim the funds have an \u201cobligation to prevent adverse human rights impacts of companies in which they are invested.\u201d \n\nOil and gas giant Santos is seeking to extract gas from these culturally and environmentally significant areas, under its Barossa and Narrabri projects. \n\n\u201cWe will not allow [the forest] to be damaged or desecrated to a point where it will not return to its natural state,\u201d says Karra Kinchela, a Gomeroi Traditional Owner. \u201cWith at least 90 cultural sites, the most abundant wildlife and biodiversity, there is no other place like it in Australia.\u201d \n\nTiwi Islander, Larrakia and Gomeroi First Nations peoples - represented by Equity Generation Lawyers - have filed their complaint directly with the superannuation funds. They are joined by members of the funds who have requested information about their investments. \n\nAustralia \u2019s top 20 super funds, including AustralianSuper, REST Super and Hostplus, collectively manage more than \u20ac1 trillion of members\u2019 retirement savings. \n\nEnvironmental, social and governance (ESG) issues have increasingly influenced investors in funds and companies. In 2020, mining giant Rio Tinto was forced to make management changes after it destroyed sacred rock shelters at Juukan Gorge in Western Australia for an iron ore mine. \n\nWhat environmental damage could Santos\u2019s projects cause? \n\nIndigenous communities say the Barossa and Narrabri gas projects will threaten their culture, livelihood, and risk damage to the environment - including affecting the breeding patterns and nesting grounds of animals. \n\nThe Barossa project, worth around \u20ac2.15 billion, is an offshore gas production project northwest of Darwin that will supply an onshore liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) facility via a 385km undersea pipeline. It aims to start delivering LNG in 2025. \n\nOf a similar value, the Narrabri project is a coal seam gas venture that could provide half of New South Wales\u2019s gas needs once operational, National Indigenous Television (NITV) reports. \n\nBut the projects risk spills, pipeline eruptions and \u201cdevastating impacts\u201d on the local environment according to Market Forces, an affiliate project of Friends of the Earth Australia, which is assisting the complaints. \n\nPrecious wildlife including threatened marsupials, endangered birds, dugong , turtles and other sea animals all stand to suffer if the projects go ahead, it adds. \n\n\u201cIf Santos gets its way with the Narrabri gas project, enabled by investments from Australia\u2019s super funds, they will pollute our sacred water that sustains all life,\u201d adds Miah Wright, another Gomeroi Traditional Owner. \n\nAntonia Burke, Indigenous human rights advocate from the Tiwi Islands alleges that the oil and gas major has \u201cleft a trail of destruction\u201d across the country. \n\nHow likely are the Barossa and Narrabri gas projects to go ahead? \n\nThe move from the Indigenous landowners comes after the Gomeroi people in January filed an appeal to the Australian Federal Court on a permit for the Narrabri gas project. The National Native Title Tribunal in December had permitted Santos to go ahead with the project. \n\nAn appeal by Santos to resume drilling on its Barossa gas project off northern Australia was rejected by the federal court in December after Indigenous groups raised objections. \n\nSantos then said it would apply for fresh approvals for its biggest project in line with the court's order. \n\nWill van de Pol, acting executive director of Market Forces, says that the pension funds must ensure Santos upholds the human rights of Traditional Owners or else dump their investments. \n\n\u201cIt\u2019s in the best interest of super fund members, Traditional Owners and the climate to stop these catastrophic gas projects going ahead.\u201d \n\nJenny Bennett, a member of one of the implicated superannuation funds Aware Super, says \u201cI can only fiercely raise my opposition to such investments, particularly when I think of our two grandchildren, (three and seven), who will be dealing with the dire consequences of continual fossil fuel reliance.\u201d \n\nSantos did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment but has previously said it undertakes consultation with all key stakeholders for all of its projects. \n\nCommonwealth Super Corp, AustralianSuper, Australian Retirement Trust, Aware Super and AMP - the five largest pension funds involved - did not immediately respond to requests seeking comment. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>A group of Indigenous Australians have filed a human rights complaint against 20 large pension funds over their investments in two \u201ccatastrophic\u201d gas projects.<\/p>\n<p>The traditional landowners of the Tiwi Islands near Darwin, and the Pilliga Forest northwest of <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//12//13//significant-breakthrough-this-new-sea-salt-battery-has-4-times-the-capacity-of-lithium/">Sydney, claim the funds have an \u201cobligation to prevent adverse human rights impacts of companies in which they are invested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oil and gas giant Santos is seeking to extract gas from these culturally and environmentally significant areas, under its Barossa and Narrabri projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will not allow [the forest] to be damaged or desecrated to a point where it will not return to its natural state,\u201d says Karra Kinchela, a Gomeroi Traditional Owner. \u201cWith at least 90 cultural sites, the most abundant wildlife and biodiversity, there is no other place like it in Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-tweet widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio\u2014auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <div class=\"widget__tweet\" data-tweet-id=\"1651049364910129152\"><\/div>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Tiwi Islander, Larrakia and Gomeroi First Nations peoples - represented by Equity Generation Lawyers - have filed their complaint directly with the superannuation funds.

Last year, a joint report from the UNESCO World Heritage Centre and International Union for Conservation of Nature recommended that the reef \u201cbe inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger\u201d. \n\nUnderwater heatwaves and cyclones - driven in part by runaway greenhouse gas emissions - have devastated some of the 3,000 coral reefs that make up the Great Barrier Reef. \n\nCrown of thorns starfish are yet another threat. These predators were responsible for about 42 per cent of the decline in coral cover between 1985 and 2012, the Australian government estimates. \n\nThese starfish have up to 21 arms, more than 600 ovaries, and hundreds of toxin-tipped thorns. Each one can eat 10 square metres of coral a year - and there are millions of them. \n\nThanks to their thorny spikes, they are invulnerable to most predators - but not all. \n\nWhy is the crab so good at beating crown of thorns starfish? \n\nUniversity of Queensland researchers tested the appetite of more than 100 species of crabs, shrimps, worms, snails, and small fish . \n\n\u201cThe red decorator crab was by far the most consistent predator consuming COTS in 89 per cent of the feeding trials,\u201d she said. \n\n\u201cWe were surprised by its voracity \u2013 each red decorator crab devoured more than five COTS per day while most other species barely ate a single one.\u201d \n\nThis appetite could explain why some reefs escape outbreaks while nearby coral are decimated. \n\nThe research could pave the way for a program to protect the reef, said senior author, Dr Kenny Wolfe. \n\n\u201cThis preliminary study sets us on the right path to resolving the role naturally existing predators could play in controlling COTS outbreaks,\u201d he said. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Scientists fighting to save the Great Barrier Reef have discovered a new secret weapon - a tiny red crab.<\/p>\n<p>The Great Barrier Reef is one of the natural wonders of the world.<\/p>\n<p>But many of its <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//11//27//its-coral-spawning-season-in-the-great-barrier-reef-watch-this-beautiful-natural-process-u/">reef-building corals<\/strong><\/a> have been devoured by plagues of toxic crown-of-thorns (COTS) starfish.<\/p>\n<p>A little red crab could help to stop that.<\/p>\n<p>The red decorator crab - or \u2018Schizophrys aspera\u2019 - has a voracious appetite for the juvenile starfish, research from the University of Queensland has shown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one of the best predators of COTS we\u2019ve seen and could be a natural buffer against future outbreaks on the <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//11//09//cop27-delivers-15-million-to-protect-egypts-coral-reefs-how-will-it-help/">reef,/u201d said lead researcher and PhD candidate Amelia Desbiens.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7385120,7258366\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2023//02//08//climate-win-australia-blocks-new-coal-mine-10km-from-great-barrier-reef/">Climate win: Australia blocks new coal mine 10km from Great Barrier Reef\u00a0<\/a> <\/li><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//12//19//scientists-pioneer-game-changing-freezing-technique-that-could-save-the-great-barrier-reef/">Scientists pioneer \u2018game-changing\u2019 freezing technique that could save the Great Barrier Reef\u2019s coral<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2>How bad is the crown of thorns outbreak on the reef?<\/h2><p>The Great Barrier reef has declined rapidly over recent decades.

I couldn't believe it. I had to read it and read it again and look at it and put in another inquiry because I just was not expecting these sorts of claims,\" he told Euronews Next.\u00a0 \n\n\"Your reputation is important to everybody. But when you're in those sorts of [elected] positions, then even more so, you're acutely aware of what people might think, what they might believe. So it's very alarming and very distressing\". \n\nThe case is the latest example of a growing list of AI chatbots publishing false allegations about people. \n\nOne chatbot recently invented a fake sexual harassment case involving a law professor in the US - citing a Washington Post article that never existed as its source. \n\nThe lawyers said they sent a letter of concern to ChatGPT's owner OpenAI on March 21, which gave the company 28 days to fix the errors about their client or face a possible defamation lawsuit. \n\nHood said his own experience had eroded his trust in AI chatbots. \n\n\"Has it coloured my thinking about them? Yes, absolutely. You would get such a mixture of fact and fiction in the same inquiry and the information is presented in a way that makes you believe that it's real and factual and trustworthy,\" he told Euronews Next.\u00a0 \n\n\"I think a lot has to be done to strengthen the accuracy of these chatbots. It's\u00a0very urgent because they can really damage people's reputations. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anybody\". \n\nOpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\u00a0Euronews Next was able to confirm Hood's claims using the publicly available version of ChatGPT, which\u00a0carries disclaimers warning the chatbot \"may occasionally generate incorrect information\". \n\nWhy does ChatGPT 'hallucinate'? \n\nChatGPT is a so-called large language model that has become wildly popular since its launch last year. Microsoft integrated ChatGPT into its search engine Bing in February, and Google's CEO Sundar Pichai told The Wall Street Journal it also plans to integrate its own AI technology into its search engine. \n\nBut it has been found by users and researchers to routinely \"hallucinate\" and give absurd responses, or state as facts things that may sound plausible but never actually happened. \n\nEuronews Next asked ChatGPT about this flaw. \n\nIn its response, ChatGPT said: \"This happens because ChatGPT has read so many different things, and sometimes it gets confused about what it should say. It's kind of like when you're dreaming and things don't always make sense - it's not real, but it's still in your head\". \n\nAsked why it was not more careful when answering factual questions, the chatbot replied: \n\n\"ChatGPT is trained to be very careful about the facts it uses and the answers it gives. However, sometimes it can get confused because it has read so many different things and it can mix up information from different sources. \n\n\"So, it might give an answer that's not completely true or make up a source that doesn't actually exist. It's kind of like when you're telling a story and you mix up some of the details - you don't mean to lie, but you just got a little bit confused\". \n\n\"But just like when you get something wrong and your teacher corrects you, ChatGPT can also be corrected by humans when it makes a mistake. That's why it's always a good idea to check the information you get from ChatGPT with other sources, just to make sure it's accurate. \n\n\"And just like you learn from your mistakes and try to do better next time, ChatGPT can also learn from its mistakes and become even better at giving accurate answers\". \n\nSeeking defamation damages \n\nIf Hood does file a lawsuit, it would accuse ChatGPT of giving users a false sense of accuracy by failing to include footnotes, said James Naughton, a partner at Hood's law firm Gordon Legal. \n\n\"It would potentially be a landmark moment in the sense that it's applying this defamation law to a new area of artificial intelligence and publication in the IT space,\" he told Reuters. \n\nAustralian defamation damages payouts are generally capped at around A$400,000 (\u20ac244,800).\u00a0 \n\nHood did not know the exact number of people who had accessed the false information about him - a determinant of the payout size - but the nature of the defamatory statements was serious enough that he may claim more than A$200,000 (\u20ac122,400), Naughton said. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>ChatGPT has caught the world&#039;s attention with its ability to instantly generate human-sounding text, jokes and poems, and even pass university exams.<\/p>\n<p>Another of the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot&#039;s\u00a0characteristics, however, is its tendency to make things up entirely - and it could get OpenAI, the company behind it, in legal trouble.<\/p>\n<p>An Australian mayor has indeed threatened to file the first defamation lawsuit against OpenAI unless it corrects ChatGPT&#039;s false claims that he was convicted of paying bribes and sentenced to 30 months in jail.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In reality, Brian\u00a0Hood was never charged with any crime and he was actually the whistleblower who helped uncover an international bribery scandal linked to the Reserve Bank of Australia in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>He told Euronews Next he was giving OpenAI an opportunity to correct this, but if nothing was done he would likely sue the service,\u00a0which was launched in November last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7507960\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//next//2023//04//07//after-italy-blocked-access-to-openais-chatgpt-chatbot-will-the-rest-of-europe-follow/">After Italy blocked access to OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot, will the rest of Europe follow?<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hood, who was elected that same month as mayor of Hepburn Shire, 120 km northwest of Melbourne, became concerned about his reputation when members of the public told him ChatGPT had falsely named him as a guilty party in the scandal.<\/p>\n<p>He said this experience caused him extreme distress, especially as an elected official.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\"I was really shocked.

Its first use in the English language can be traced back to the British explorer, Captain James Cook\u2019s journal, from the 18th century. \n\nOther words included in this update also refer to concepts of M\u0101ori land ownership and sovereignty, such as \u2018rohe\u2019 which refers to \"a M\u0101ori tribal boundary\", first used in 1942, and \u2018rangatiratanga\u2019 transliterally meaning \"chieftain\" or \"nobility\" but specifically used to refer to the right to self-determination of the M\u0101ori people. \n\nSeveral of the nouns in this new addition are also related to M\u0101ori customs such as \u2018powhiri\u2019 (a M\u0101ori welcoming ceremony), 'koha', defined in the OED as \"a gift; an offering, donation, or contribution\", and \u2018wharekai\u2019, defined as \"a building in a M\u0101ori settlement or community\". \n\n\"The OED will record even more M\u0101ori contributions to the lexicon as it continues to monitor the evolution of English in this part of the world,\" says the Oxford University Press. \n\nWho are the M\u0101ori? \n\nThe M\u0101oris are indigenous Polynesian people who have inhabited mainland New Zealand since 1320 when their ancestors are believed to have arrived to the island country in fleets of large canoes called \u2018Wakas\u2019 (in the Te Reo M\u0101ori language) from a mythical homeland called Hawaiki. \n\nOver centuries of isolation from the rest of the world, the M\u0101ori developed their own culture, language, mythology, and craft, which are distinct from other Polynesian groups who live on other islands in the Pacific. \n\nEarly contact with Europeans began in the 18th century - ranging from beneficial trade to violent encounters. This was the first time that the various tribes living in New Zealand started identifying themselves with one name - M\u0101ori meaning \u2018ordinary\u2019. \n\nRelations between the M\u0101ori and European settlers - who the M\u0101ori referred to as \u2018Pakeha\u2019 - remained mostly cordial during the early colonial period until 1860 when the rising number of settlers and disputes over land bought from the M\u0101ori led to the New Zealand Wars (1845-1872).\u00a0 \n\nFollowing the wars, many M\u0101ori lands were taken by the Pakeha who tried to assimilate the M\u0101oris into their culture by banning the use of the Te Reo M\u0101ori language and replacing Tohungas (expert practitioners of a particular skill especially medicine) with Western medicine.\u00a0 \n\nBy 1896, New Zealand\u2019s M\u0101ori population was 42,113 compared to a Pakeha population of 700,000. The M\u0101ori population was also hit intensely by the 1918 influenza pandemic when death rates among the M\u0101ori were 4.5 times higher than the Pakeha. Nonetheless, the M\u0101ori population recovered in the 20th century, and underwent a cultural revival in the 1960s.

Its first use in the English language can be traced back to the British explorer, Captain James Cook\u2019s journal, from the 18th century.<\/p>\n<p>Other words included in this update also refer to concepts of M\u0101ori land ownership and sovereignty, such as \u2018rohe\u2019 which refers to \"a M\u0101ori tribal boundary\", first used in 1942, and \u2018rangatiratanga\u2019 transliterally meaning \"chieftain\" or \"nobility\" but specifically used to refer to the right to self-determination of the M\u0101ori people.<\/p>\n<p>Several of the nouns in this new addition are also related to M\u0101ori customs such as \u2018powhiri\u2019 (a M\u0101ori welcoming ceremony), &#039;koha&#039;, defined in the OED as \"a gift; an offering, donation, or contribution\", and \u2018wharekai\u2019, defined as \"a building in a M\u0101ori settlement or community\".<\/p>\n<p>\"The OED will record even more M\u0101ori contributions to the lexicon as it continues to monitor the evolution of English in this part of the world,\" says the Oxford University Press.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who are the M\u0101ori?<\/strong><\/h2><p>The M\u0101oris are indigenous Polynesian people who have inhabited mainland New Zealand since 1320 when their ancestors are believed to have arrived to the island country in fleets of large canoes called \u2018Wakas\u2019 (in the Te Reo M\u0101ori language) from a mythical homeland called Hawaiki.<\/p>\n<p>Over centuries of isolation from the rest of the world, the M\u0101ori developed their own culture, language, mythology, and craft, which are distinct from other Polynesian groups who live on other islands in the Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>Early contact with Europeans began in the 18th century - ranging from beneficial trade to violent encounters. This was the first time that the various tribes living in New Zealand started identifying themselves with one name - M\u0101ori meaning \u2018ordinary\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Relations between the M\u0101ori and European settlers - who the M\u0101ori referred to as \u2018Pakeha\u2019 - remained mostly cordial during the early colonial period until 1860 when the rising number of settlers and disputes over land bought from the M\u0101ori led to the New Zealand Wars (1845-1872).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Following the wars, many M\u0101ori lands were taken by the Pakeha who tried to assimilate the M\u0101oris into their culture by banning the use of the Te Reo M\u0101ori language and replacing Tohungas (expert practitioners of a particular skill especially medicine) with Western medicine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By 1896, New Zealand\u2019s M\u0101ori population was 42,113 compared to a Pakeha population of 700,000. The M\u0101ori population was also hit intensely by the 1918 influenza pandemic when death rates among the M\u0101ori were 4.5 times higher than the Pakeha. Nonetheless, the M\u0101ori population recovered in the 20th century, and underwent a cultural revival in the 1960s. Influential M\u0101ori leaders fought for social justice against historical grievances leading to the New Zealand government signing many treaty settlements, especially land deals.<\/p>\n<p>The M\u0101oris are now a minority in New Zealand, numbering up to 892,200 - or 17.2% of the total population according to a June 2022 survey.

For New York, it\u2019s skyscrapers like the Chrysler Building. In London, the towering figure of Big Ben looms greatly, while the Paris skyline is unthinkable without the Eiffel Tower. \n\nThe single building that has captured the imagination for longer than any other in the Antipodes is the Sydney Opera House . Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the arts venue is looking back on half a century as an indelible part of Sydney Harbour\u2019s landscape. \n\nIn the 1950s, Australia\u2019s biggest city had a far more barren skyline. An open competition to design the new opera house was entered by more than 200 budding architects from across the world. \n\nDanish architect J\u00f8rn Utzon was victorious in 1957 with his distinctive shell design. \n\n\u201cIn it, the judges could see the innovative design, the response to the setting on the beautiful Sydney harbour, and really what this place could be, which is a sculpture, an artwork in itself, to celebrate and house the performing arts,\u201d explains Sydney Opera House Heritage Manager Laura Matarese. \n\nConstruction began in 1959 with an initial expected finish date of 1963 and a budget of A$7 million. It would take over a decade more before the building was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1973. By then, costs had risen to A$102 million, offset by funding from the Australian lottery. \n\nUtzon died in 2008, aged 90.\u00a0 \n\nThe 70-year-old Peter Tucker recalls the time vividly. He started working at the Sydney Opera House in 1971, two years before the official opening. \n\nOn his first day of work, Tucker was 19, fresh out of school and about to become a father. At the time, you could lose your job if you arrived late, however serious your excuse was. \n\n\u201cI got up in the morning, and my wife went into labour, so I had to rush my wife off to hospital, at Paddington hospital, then I made my way down here and I commenced work as a builder\u2019s labourer,\u201d says Tucker, who is now operations supervisor of the site. \n\n\u201cFirst day here was good, they introduced me to a jackhammer, and that\u2019s where I stayed for the first six months in the drama theatre. It was really, really good. In the afternoon, I went and saw my wife, and I had a lovely son,\u201d he reminisces. \n\nTucker has stayed at the Opera House all these years, the last person still employed at the venue who also worked on the building site. \n\nHe also got to shake Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s hand in 2006 when she opened the Colonnade, an external loggia on the west of the building. \n\n\u201cWhen I was working here, it was all just scaffold, and there was a big massive safety net that if anybody fell, they were caught in the safety net, and then all of a sudden it\u2019s all gone, and then there\u2019s musicians on stage, and they\u2019re playing, and you\u2019re saying \u2018how beautiful is this coming out\u2019 you know, I\u2019d never heard a full orchestra before, but, wow, that was very impressive,\u201d says Tucker. \n\nIn the past 50 years, the Sydney Opera House has been home to various resident companies, including the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the Sydney Theatre Company, Opera Australia, the Australian Ballet, Bangarra Dance Theatre and more. \n\n\u201cThe numbers are amazing. It's 118,000, at last count, performances have happened in the Opera House and 63 million seats have been sold. So, that\u2019s an extraordinary number of people who had an experience here,\u201d says Fiona Winning, director of programming, Sydney Opera House. \n\nIn its 50 years of existence, the Opera has welcomed many guests. \n\nArnold Schwarzenegger won his last Mr Olympia crown here in 1980, Pope John Paul II addressed a massive crowd in 1987 and in 1990 the recently freed Nelson Mandela spoke to 40,000 people amassed on the outside steps. \n\nFor the first time ever, the Opera had to close in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. \n\nIn the meantime, a major refurbishment of the Concert Hall was underway. \n\nLast July, the Hall reopened with a much richer and clearer sound, according to musicians. \n\nThe stage has also been dropped, which means audience members in the front rows don\u2019t have to look up anymore. \n\nA lesser-known and more intimate room is the Utzon room, the smallest performance space in the Opera House. \n\nUtzon designed it himself. The room looks out to the water, and a wall is covered by a tapestry he commissioned. \n\nThat room has welcomed all sorts of events, from chamber music to, more surprisingly, punk bands. \n\nIn 2007, the Opera was included on UNESCO's Heritage List. To mark this year\u2019s 50th anniversary, about 250 performances, events and experiences showcased by Australian and international artists are organised. On the birthday weekend, 21-22 October, an open house will take place for everyone to visit. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Every iconic skyline has the buildings that define it.

Firstly, they need to be pulled apart and then their components need to be separated. These two operations are both expensive and time-consuming. \n\n\u201cAt the moment, it would be cheaper to put them into landfill than to recover them,\u201d says John Polhill, manager of infrastructure partnerships, Sustainability Victoria. \n\nThe Deakin University scientists say they have found a way to make that process more viable. \n\nTheir method - which relies on complex heating and chemical processes - doesn't use dangerous chemicals to extract the valuable silicon from the panels, making it cheaper and more environmentally friendly. \n\n\u201cThere are many other technologies around the world, but most of the technologies are complicated, multi-step, timeconsuming,\u201d says Mokhlesur Rahman of Deakin University. \n\nIs the silicon in solar panels valuable? \n\nThe nanoparticle material made from silicon is worth a lot of money - making the new method financially very interesting for recycling businesses.

has blocked a proposal for a new coal mine near the Great Barrier Reef. \n\nOn Wednesday, the Australian government declined to grant permission for a new thermal coal project just off the coast of central Queensland. \n\nThe news comes after public outcry over potential risks to the UNCECO World Heritage-listed reef. \n\n\"I've decided that the adverse environmental impacts are simply too great,\" Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek said in a video posted to social media. \n\n\"The mine is an open-cut coal mine less than 10km from the Great Barrier Reef , and the risk of pollution and irreversible damage to the reef is very real.\" \n\nThe refusal marks the first time a coal mine has been rejected under federal environmental laws. \n\nWhy has Australia banned a coal mine on the Great Barrier Reef? \n\nThe project would have involved two open-cut pits - a type of coal mine which is an open pit - and would have led to the extraction of 10 million tonnes of coal per year. \n\nIt was expected to operate for 20 years. \n\nAfter the Labor government were elected to power last year, newly-appointed Environment Minister Plibisek made an initial decision to reject the mine, pending public consultation. \n\nIn just 10 days, her department received 9,000 comments - with 98 per cent urging her to block the project. \n\nOn Wednesday, the government declined permission for a new thermal coal project owned by mining magnate Clive Palmer near the Great Barrier Reef. \n\nThe mine, owned by huge company Central Queensland Coal, is in the Styx Coal Basin. \n\nCentral Queensland Coal did not immediately respond to a request for comment; neither did billionaire owner Clive Palmer. \n\nIs the Great Barrier Reef at risk? \n\nEnvironmental experts say the UNESCO World Heritage-listed reef, the world's biggest coral reef ecosystem, is suffering from the significant impact of climate change and the warming of oceans. \n\nStretching 2,253 kilometres along the coast of northeast Australia , the massive underwater ecosystem is one of the great wonders of the natural world. \n\nBut the reef is severely threatened. Warming waters mean it has suffered four coral bleaching events in just seven years. \n\nIn November, a joint report from the UNESCO World Heritage Centre and International Union for Conservation of Nature recommended that the reef \u201cbe inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger \u201d. \n\nIs Australia phasing out coal? \n\nConservationists have celebrated the decision to block the Styx Coal Basin mine. \n\nIt is the latest in a series of environmental wins since the new government took power last year. Australia aims to cut CO2 emissions by 43 per cent by 2030 - an increase on pre-election targets of just 26 per cent. \n\nHowever, in July, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese rejected a moratorium on coal. \n\nAustralia remains a significant exporter of fossil fuels , making its emissions per capita among the highest in the world. \n\nWith a population of just 26 million (0.33 per cent of the world\u2019s population), the country is responsible for 3.6 per cent of global emissions. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Australia has blocked a proposal for a new coal mine near the Great Barrier Reef.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, the Australian government declined to grant permission for a new thermal <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//11//24//renewables-to-produce-more-energy-than-coal-in-the-us-for-the-first-time-this-year/">coal project just off the coast of central Queensland.<\/p>\n<p>The news comes after public outcry over potential risks to the UNCECO World <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//11//27//its-coral-spawning-season-in-the-great-barrier-reef-watch-this-beautiful-natural-process-u/">Heritage-listed reef.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\"I&#039;ve decided that the adverse environmental impacts are simply too great,\" Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek said in a video posted to social media.<\/p>\n<p>\"The mine is an <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//09//01//hawaii-closes-its-last-coal-power-plant-are-its-renewable-replacements-ready-for-the-switc/">open-cut coal mine<\/strong><\/a> less than 10km from the <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//08//04//australias-great-barrier-reef-shows-best-signs-of-coral-recovery-in-36-years/">Great Barrier Reef<\/strong><\/a>, and the risk of pollution and irreversible damage to the reef is very real.\"<\/p>\n<p>The refusal marks the first time a coal mine has been rejected under federal environmental laws.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7258366,7222854\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//11//30//marine-biologists-urge-people-not-to-give-up-hope-on-great-barrier-reef-after-unesco-repor/">Marine biologists urge people not to give up hope on Great Barrier Reef after UNESCO report<\/a> <\/li><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2022//12//19//scientists-pioneer-game-changing-freezing-technique-that-could-save-the-great-barrier-reef/">Scientists pioneer \u2018game-changing\u2019 freezing technique that could save the Great Barrier Reef\u2019s coral<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2>Why has Australia banned a coal mine on the Great Barrier Reef?<\/h2><p>The project would have involved two open-cut pits -

Its loss triggered a radiation alert for large parts of the state. \n\n\nAuthorities said on Monday it would take five days to retrace the truck\u2019s route. On Tuesday, they said that 660 km had been searched so far, and that a team from the country's nuclear safety agency had now joined the hunt. \n\nHow could this happen, and how dangerous was this capsule? Here\u2019s what you need to know. \n\nHow did the radioactive capsule get lost? \n\nThe capsule is believed to have fallen from a truck with multiple trailers driving down the red roads of the Western Australian desert towards the city of Perth, sometime between January 12 and January 16. \n\nAuthorities suspect the capsule, part of a gauge used in mining equipment, fell out of its casing after vibrations from the bumpy roads caused screws to come loose. \n\nThe truck left on January 12, and the casing arrived in the suburbs of Perth on January 16. But it wasn\u2019t until nine days later, on January 25, that it was unpacked by mining giant Rio Tinto for inspection - and the loss of the capsule became clear. \n\nWestern Australia\u2019s authorities alerted the public of the disappearance on January 27, two days after they were notified by Rio Tinto. \n\nIt sounds like the opening sequence of an apocalyptic film where catastrophes are often triggered by the smallest of incidents. But the risk posed by this missing radioactive capsule was very real. \n\nRadiation specialists had been searching the Great Northern Highway for the tiny capsule by \"driving north and south directions at slow speed,\" to no avail, Western Australia\u2019s Department of Fire and Emergency Services said on Monday. \n\nPeople in the state had also been warned that the capsule may have unknowingly become lodged in their car\u2019s tires - and thus travelled even further. \n\nRio Tinto has said it\u2019s \u201csorry\u201d for causing public concern and that it\u2019s taking the incident very seriously. \n\nWhat is this radioactive capsule for? \n\nExperts relied on radiation detection equipment to find this silver capsule, which is smaller in diameter than a 1 euro cent coin and looks a bit like a button battery. \n\nIt\u2019s a 19-GBq (which stands for gigabecquerel, a unit indicating radioactive decay) caesium-137 ceramic source, the sort typically used in radiation gauges. These devices use radioactive sources to measure parameters like thickness, density and moisture of different materials and surfaces to allow the construction of safe buildings, roads, and other projects. \n\nCapsules like the one that has gone missing are usually employed in the mining, oil and gas industries. \n\nThe caesium-137 contained in the capsule is a radioactive metal which emits dangerous beta and gamma radiation. \n\nIts half-life is of 30.05 years, meaning it takes that long for the metal to lose half of its original activity. It is encapsulated by steel which prevents the radioactive material from escaping. \n\nHow bad is it that the capsule has gone missing? \n\nIts disappearance was pretty bad, according to authorities. The capsule emits dangerous amounts of radiation that could cause skin burns, while prolonged exposure could cause cancer. \n\nSpending an hour one metre from the missing capsule would be similar to undergoing 10 X-rays, officials have warned. \n\nRadiation Services WA said it might be even worse, estimating the radiation dose from the capsule to be equal to 17 chest X-rays. \n\nBeyond exposure, there\u2019s also a risk of contamination. If the missing capsule was to be broken, the beta particles contained inside it would cause serious damage to people\u2019s health should they get in touch with it or ingest it. \n\nA radiation alert was issued across parts of the Australian state and members of the public had been advised to stay at least five metres away from the radioactive capsule if they happen to find it. \n\nThe risk to the general community was deemed to be low, but the loss of the highly radioactive capsule along the Western Australian desert has raised significant alarm in the area - and put a spotlight on Rio Tinto. \n\nThe global mining group came under fire in 2020 for destroying a site of sacred importance for Indigenous Australians while expanding an iron ore mine. \n\nThe mining giant has now apologised for losing the tiny capsule. \n\n\"We recognise this is clearly very concerning and are sorry for the alarm it has caused in the Western Australian community,\" Simon Trott, Rio Tinto\u2019s iron ore division chief, said in a statement on Monday. \n\nMeanwhile, the hunt for the missing radioactive material continues. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>A tiny radioactive capsule that went missing last week somewhere in the desert in Australia has finally been found after a huge search effort was launched.<\/p>\n<p>Announcing its discovery, authorities in Western Australia said they had\u00a0\"literally found the needle in the haystack\".<\/p>\n<p>The missing silver capsule was just 8mm by 6mm, and was believed to have fallen from a truck that travelled 1,400 km along Western Australia.

If the missing capsule was to be broken, the beta particles contained inside it would cause serious damage to people\u2019s health should they get in touch with it or ingest it.<\/p>\n<p>A radiation alert was issued across parts of the Australian state and members of the public had been advised to stay at least five metres away from the radioactive capsule if they happen to find it.<\/p>\n<p>The risk to the general community was deemed to be low, but the loss of the highly radioactive capsule along the Western Australian desert has raised significant alarm in the area - and put a spotlight on Rio Tinto.<\/p>\n<p>The global mining group came under fire in 2020 for destroying a site of sacred importance for Indigenous Australians while expanding an iron ore mine.<\/p>\n<p>The mining giant has now apologised for losing the tiny capsule.<\/p>\n<p>\"We recognise this is clearly very concerning and are sorry for the alarm it has caused in the Western Australian community,\" Simon Trott, Rio Tinto\u2019s iron ore division chief, said in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the hunt for the missing radioactive material continues.<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1675173112,"updatedAt":1675240943,"publishedAt":1675240909,"firstPublishedAt":1675173713,"lastPublishedAt":1675240943,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"sourceUrl":null,"sourceCredit":null,"callToActionUrl":null,"captionCredit":"Department of Fire and Emergency Services via AP","altText":"The search for a radioactive capsule believed to have fallen off a truck being transported on a freight route on the outskirts of Perth continues.","callToActionText":null,"width":1600,"caption":"The search for a radioactive capsule believed to have fallen off a truck being transported on a freight route on the outskirts of Perth continues.","url":"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/36\/15\/08\/{{w}}x{{h}}_cmsv2_97312342-71dc-57dc-a3ba-c53321de41e6-7361508.jpg","captionUrl":null,"height":900},{"sourceUrl":null,"sourceCredit":null,"callToActionUrl":null,"captionCredit":"Department of Fire and Emergency Services\/DFES","altText":"A member of the Incident Management Team coordinates the search for a radioactive capsule that was lost in transit by a contractor hired by Rio Tinto.
