Behind the News - ABC Australia (Episode 5, 2020)

 

COVID-19 coronavirus is having a big effect on businesses and investors and last week, stock markets around the world fell because of the virus. We find out how that can happen by looking at the way global trade works. The head of our national intelligence agency said that there is more spying going on now than there was during the Cold War. We look at what spying is and why it’s used. NASA’s InSight lander has been studying Mars in more detail than ever before.  We find out more about the mysteries of Mars.  We find out about the important role that dogs have always played in the military. We meet Brydi, a nine-year-old athlete who’s got her sights set on Paralympic glory.

And, if you want to improve your Australian accent, listening to this show can be really helpful. The video, English subtitle, and PDF package have all been included.
