From the Daily ods. I'm Zara, I'm Billy. It's Wednesday, the eleventh of December. Here's what's making headlines this evening.
Political leaders have condemned an incident in Sydney's East overnight, after a car was set alight and buildings were damaged with anti Israel graffiti in the suburb of Wulara. New South Wales's Premier Chris Mins and Prime Minister Anthony Albanizi condemned the attack in separate statements this morning. We're both expected to be briefed by investigators. Local MP allegris Bender said to target the biggest Jewish community in the country
is anti Semitic. It comes days after authorities launched an investigation into a fire at a Melbourne synagogue, which has been declared a likely terrorist attack. Last month, cars and property were also damaged in a separate incident in Willara.
The rebel forces that toppled serious dictatorship this week have appointed Muhammad Albashir to act as an interim minister until the first of March. The forces were led by a group called Hayat Tahir Alsham or HTS, which many international governments, including Australia list as a terrorist organization. Bashir was a local government leader in an HTS controlled Syrian province and
previously worked as an engineer. In a televised address, he said he's been working with the outgoing government and authorities from his province to establish stability and calm.
An election promise from Prime Minister Anthony Albanesi would give most preschool aged children three days of subsidized early childhood education per week if Labour wins next year's election. The existing activity test, which awards hours of subsidized childcare based on how much parents work and earn, would be removed
from January twenty twenty six. Instead, the government says it wants to build a universal system where every child is guaranteed access to high quality early education that is affordable and accessible. It's also announced plans to build more childcare centers around the country.
And today's good news, Scientists at MIT have developed a biodegradable replacement for microplastic beads in beauty products. Microplastics are tiny fragments, and they can be manufactured deliberately or can come from bigger pieces of plastic breaking down. Microplastics have been found in the human body and in animals and other wildlife. Now, a team of scientists have developed a replacement for microplastic particles for use in health and beauty
products like cleanses. The new BIA degradable materials break down over time into harmless elements. Testing found they were more effective at a removing makeup than actual microplastics. The scientists will trial the new system on humans next year.
