Hey, how's it going? Nat here with another BTN Newsbreak.
The Premier of Victoria and the Premier of South Australia
are in a bit of a feud.
It's all got to do with South Australia opening its borders
to WA, the Northern Territory and Tasmania, but NOT Victoria and NSW.
Here's Leela.
LEELA: It all started on Tuesday
when SA Premier Steven Marshall said...
Effective as of midnight tonight, there will be no border in place
with Western Australia, Northern Territory, or Tasmania.
Meaning travellers from those states won't need to isolate
in South Australia for two weeks.
But did you notice a few other states have been left off the invite list?
For the time being.
You know, the ones that still have active coronavirus cases.
No need to be bitter, though, right?
Well...
Victoria was a little bitter.
Look, I don't want to be offensive to South Australians
but why would you want to go there?
Why would you want to go there?
I particularly liked the way he said it twice. In a row.
Steven Marshall used it as a chance
to show exactly why people would want to visit SA.
But today, NSW is taking it personally too.
It's pretty poor, like most things out of Adelaide.
It has opened up debate around the country about whether it's fair,
whether it's legal, and whether other states should be doing the same.
None of this makes sense to me. (CHUCKLES) We are one nation.
The advice we have is that it's unconstitutional.
We'll lift our borders to other jurisdictions
as and when they get their house in order.
So much drama!
I need to go have a nap.
The relationship between Australia and the UK
is actually looking pretty good.
The two countries have been negotiating a free trade deal,
and UK PM Boris Johnson has his sights set
on one product in particular.
We send you Penguins and you send us...with reduced carriage,
these wonderful Arnott's Tim Tams.
Music superstar Elton John has given a huge shout-out
to a high school music class who covered one of his songs.
This is the cover, made during lockdown in the UK.
And, yeah, it's awesome.
# I'm still standing after all this time... #
Elton John eventually came across it and immediately loved it.
I was completely blown away.
In fact, I watched it three times in a row.
He's even invited them to one of his live shows -
when life's back to normal.
Alright, there's some big news in sport today. Here's Charlotte.
CHARLOTTE: Aussie tennis superstar Dylan Alcott's
grand slammed US Open organisers
after wheelchair tennis was dropped from this year's comp.
The tournament's set to start in late August,
and to limit the number of people, there'll now be no mixed doubles,
junior tournaments or wheelchair tennis,
which Dylan reckons is just wrong.
He says he's at no higher risk for getting sick than anyone else,
and doesn't think it's fair that he misses out
just because he's in a wheelchair.
There'll also be some other big changes, like no spectators,
no qualifying tournaments, and not as many ballpeople or line callers.
Ultimately, I really cannot wait to play the US Open 2020.
It's gonna be exciting.
Meanwhile in England, the Premier League's back in action.
Arsenal got smashed 3-0 to Man City.
But it's this goal, or not goal,
from the Aston Villa v Sheffield match
that everyone's talking about.
As you can quite clearly see,
the ball was carried past the goal line, meaning it's a goal, right?
Well, actually, no.
The ref said that speccy goal line technology
didn't actually register it as a goal,
so it didn't count.
The company behind the tech's now apologised for the blunder,
but it's too little, too late for poor Sheffield.
You can never be too safe in a world full of dangerous things.
So... (SMASH!)
..as my Year 7 woodworks teacher always used to say:
In the age of coronavirus, it's hard to know how far you should go
to keep yourself safe - like this nimble nanna from Cuba.
You just build yourself a travelling cardboard house.
It reads, "I'm at home. And what about you?"
It's just like hand sanitiser but for more than just your hands.
This disinfectant tunnel
is supposed to keep visitors nice and squeaky clean.
The president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, must've really liked the idea
because he even got one installed at his own house.
And here's a safety drill
that's way more interesting than it sounds.
89 generators blasted fire extinguishing foam from the ceiling
of an aeroplane hangar in Turkey.
I'm going to call that a flaming success.
Hopefully it works with actual fire.
That's all the news for today.
Have a very safe Thursday and we'll see you again tomorrow.
