00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.480
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hi there,
I'm hunning back with fine good news stories
2
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.720
and good news. If you're on
your way to the cold Play concert,
3
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.800
you see Chris Martin. He's the
singer for cold Play. He was on
4
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:20.280
his way to a cold Play concert, which is good because if you go
5
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:22.839
to a cold Play concert, you
kind of want the singer to be there.
6
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:27.800
Anyway, he was at Radio one's
big weekend music festival. He's on
7
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.879
his way. He's in his black
Mercedes, and he saw a woman leaning
8
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:35.359
against a fence. Sandre is sixty
four and suffers from what she calls a
9
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:39.520
dodgy right hip. She was walking
to the box office for an accessibility ticket.
10
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.079
She decided to rest for a moment. Then a Mercedes pulls up and
11
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:46.640
says, Hey, do you want
to get in? She tells the BBC.
12
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.240
The door opens and I say,
oh, that's Chris Martin. I
13
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.439
can't get in with him. But
she got in why wouldn't you? And
14
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.560
they really hit it off. She
said they were chatting like two old ladies.
15
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.240
When they got to the arena.
Martin shure there was a golf cart
16
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.439
found to take Glenn to the box
office. Hey, good news, if
17
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.719
you like salty taste, but not
any of that sodium. Japanese beverage maker
18
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:11.040
Kieran Holdings is selling listen to this
an electrified spoon. Now that scares me.
19
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.280
Electricity plus metal plus my mouth.
I'm a little worried, but I'll
20
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:21.760
hear you out. Researchers say the
electrified spoon enhances salty tastes without added sodium.
21
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.959
The electric salt spoon uses a weak
electric field to concentrate sodium ions on
22
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:33.079
the tongue, increasing perceived saltiness.
That was just a fun sentence to say.
23
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.319
This could be helpful for people who
love salty foods, but gotta watch
24
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.640
the blood pressure. Right. We'll
keep an eye on that story. Good
25
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.480
news if you're a white rhino,
you and nineteen hundred and ninety nine friends
26
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:49.359
are being rewilded into secure, protected
areas in Africa over the next ten years.
27
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:55.280
Forty white rhinos already on their way
to their new home at the Mooniwana
28
00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:00.560
Conservancy in South Africa. It's a
continent wide effort organized by a group called
29
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.159
African Parks. The movement is called
a Rhino rewild. They have acquired two
30
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.800
thousand Southern white rhinos that had been
privately owned by a multi millionaire who dreamed
31
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:14.319
of keeping them in a preserve for
the purpose of harvesting their horns to flood
32
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.919
the illegal rhino horn trade. Yikes. The Southern white rhino had reached an
33
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:23.439
all time low of between listen to
this number thirty to forty animals back in
34
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:29.280
the nineteen thirties. Conservation measures have
increased the population to approximately twenty thousand by
35
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.639
twenty twelve. Not an awesome number, but a lot better than thirty.
36
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:36.639
Right, kgo caught up with Pete. Pete is eighty eight years old.
37
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.680
He heads out to the trails every
day with a goal of seven thousand steps.
38
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.400
He says, as age has gotten
to me. I've gone from marathons
39
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.319
down to this, walking two miles
a day. Let me tell you my
40
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.439
favorite expression, and it's I'd rather
wear out than rust out. That's been
41
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.080
my mottol all these years. I'll
keep going as long as I can.
42
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.599
Does he get to his seven thousand
steps and he was looking at his trekker
43
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.680
He got to twelve thousand. All
right, whack story from USA today.
44
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.599
Vincent went out to get a pizza, all right, grabs the pizza,
45
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.840
hops into his car, drives off, and then he notices the dog wants
46
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.439
some of the pizza. All right, pretty common story. I have a
47
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.039
dog. Dogs like pizza, totally
get it. Oh wait, it's not
48
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.759
his dog. You know why it's
not his dog. It's not his car.
49
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.039
He thought he got in his red
Honda CRV, but no, he
50
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:28.520
got in your red Honda CRV.
He said, this is why you should
51
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.400
not leave a keyfob in your car, because I got in with my pizza
52
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.800
and then I got the bleep scared
out of me by this dog. It's
53
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.560
not my dog or not my car, he recounts the story. So I
54
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.439
was backing out and turning and hitting
the blinker towards my ex wife's apartment.
55
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.080
I had a sensation there was something
in the back. I thought to myself,
56
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.759
did I load my dog Panda?
When I looked over my shoulder and
57
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.800
I saw the look on the dog
was surreal because I also had an English
58
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.840
Lab that looked like that. But
then I noticed the keyfob in the center
59
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.759
console, which explained everything. So
he brings the car and the dog back,
60
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.960
and as USA today tells us,
he didn't go back in to tell
61
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.719
the kai he had just driven his
car, so the lesson don't leave your
62
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.680
keyfob in the car. And those
are your five good news stories for today.
