Kalaroga Shark Media. I'm Johnny Mack
with fine good news stories, good news

2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.800
if you enjoyed the Cricket House pub
in England. Yeah, it did burn

3
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:21.280
down last July, but the owners
of the quirky eighteenth century British pub have

4
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.600
been ordered by a local council to
rebuild it and they have to keep it

5
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:31.359
with its previously lopsided specifications. The
pub, known as the Cricket House for

6
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:36.560
its leaning walls and tilting foundation,
burnt down last summer and they demolished the

7
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:41.320
remains well. The council has said
it's engaged with the owners and ordered the

8
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:45.280
pub be rebuilt back to what it
was prior to the fire by February of

9
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:50.200
twenty twenty seven, where they will
face prosecution. Some background. The fire

10
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:55.399
took place two weeks after the pub
was sold. Two days later, the

11
00:00:55.439 --> 00:01:00.399
pub was bulldozed. That raised some
questions among local residents. More than thirty

12
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.159
five thousand people joined the Saved the
Crooked House, Let's get it rebuilt facebook

13
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.840
page. The pub was originally built
in seventeen sixty five as a farmhouse that

14
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:14.239
started sinking on one side as a
result of extensive coal mining around eighteen thirty

15
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.519
it became a pub. It had
had a couple names over the years,

16
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.359
eventually became known as the Crookeet House, a tourist attraction, one side about

17
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.799
four feet lower than the others.
Look forward to it the reopening or being

18
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:30.280
recreated anyway. Other good news from
the UK If you're a toad, hundreds

19
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:36.439
of heroic volunteers have soaked themselves on
early spring nights to save toads, frogs

20
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.959
and newts for being squished under the
tires of passing cars. Yeah, we

21
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.799
don't want that. The volunteers walk
across dark highways with a high beam flashlight

22
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.560
and a high visibility jacket and they
pick up amphibians and drop them into a

23
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.799
bucket for safe transport across the road, leading us to wonder why did the

24
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.599
frog cross the road? Last year, England's Amphibian Rescue group saved at least

25
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.120
one hundred and fifteen animals from roads. Angela is a volunteer and said,

26
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.319
I find it very emotional actually,
and it becomes more emotional as you do

27
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.120
it. You see a creature that's
so vulnerable. It's sitting there and you

28
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.800
can see that it's pregnant and bulging
with babies. You want them to have

29
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.240
a fighting chance of making it to
their breeding grounds. All right, that

30
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.520
answers why the frag cross the road. But why did the frag cross the

31
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.800
road in the first place in the
other direction? Good question. I don't

32
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.919
have the answer. Congratulations to Paul
Edmonds, the fifth known person ever in

33
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.159
remission from both HIV and blood cancer. He received a treatment involving stem cells

34
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:36.039
with a rare genetic mutation that makes
people who have it resistant to getting HIV.

35
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.360
Doctors called it a remarkable and encouraging
treatment. He's the oldest person to

36
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.240
be in remission for blood cancer staying
medical New AI breakthroughs are helping doctors make

37
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:50.759
life saving cancer and heart defect diagnoses
faster than ever. An AI model can

38
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.879
accurately identify diseases and tumors in medical
images. Researchers train their model by feeding

39
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:59.960
it thousands of images and giving it
diagnosis tasks. The AI was able to

40
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.080
flag early signs of tumors, detect
heart conditions and X rays, and identify

41
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.840
macular degeneration. When we come back
from the break, I'm gonna be a

42
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.479
little bit naughty, like match game
naughty. It's worth the laugh, but

43
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.879
just in case you don't want any
naughtiness in your day. You were dismissed,

44
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.080
but it's a fun story. Be
right back, all right, that

45
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.080
naughty story I teased? Is that
a python in your pants? Or are

46
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.039
you just happy to see me?
Oh? No, it's a python.

47
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.240
A New York City man admitted to
smuggling three pythons in his pants. He

48
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:37.680
was sentenced to a year of probation. Don't do that again and find five

49
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:43.120
thousand dollars. The man crossed into
New York with the hidden snakes on a

50
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.080
bus from Montreal to New York City. I've had it with these snakes on

51
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:53.599
the bus. These snakes were discovered
by Customs and Border Protection officers, again

52
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.719
leading me to wonder, Hey,
is that a snake in your pants?

53
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.560
How do you? I don't know. The man had purchased the snakes,

54
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.800
valued at more than twenty five hundred
dollars, at a reptile store in Canada.

55
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:12.439
However, importation of Burmese pythons is
regulated by international treaty. US federal

56
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:16.399
regulations list them as injurious to human
beings, so maybe don't keep them in

57
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.240
your pants. That's your five good
news stories for today. If you enjoy

58
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:24.600
the program, tell a friend about
it they might enjoy too, Share it

59

for listening. Have a great day.
