0:00Uh. Johannesburg to doubt 25, Pretoria 26, and Polakwani a high of 21 degrees. Quite a bit of congestion in Pretoria, uh, on the southbound, it's causing slamming traffic through the Bournemouth junction. In your sport, local golfer Casey Jarvis rakes in the cash after winning the essay open, and the South African Football Association gets a new headline sponsor. We start in the south of Johannesburg with a contractor responsible for the building that collapsed in Ormondi yesterday, has now gone missing. They were 15 people on site. Six were declared dead, six others were rushed to hospital, while three were still missing by late last night. We were most probably then in this case, and over to police, but we managed to get the name of the contractor. They have a hold at this point. We cannot get hold of them here and know the engineers or so. So our teams are now quickly ensuring that we start to trace that, but they will definitely be consequences. Johannesburg City Manager Floyd Brunk was on the scene last night

1:02with the rescue operation continues. He says an internal investigation has also revealed that there are no approved plans for the construction. Controversial North West political fixer and businessman Brown Mojotsi has reportedly now handed in his sick note at the Madlanka Commission of inquiry. This was reported late last night, after Mojotsi didn't turn up before his appearance yesterday morning to resume his testimony about allegations of interference in the criminal justice system. The commission says the issue will be handled tomorrow. Meanwhile, the National Director of Public Prosecutions at Good Andy Motibi said yesterday that senior NPI prosecutors have been allocated to the Madlanka Special Investigating Task Team to work with police. The task team is set to probe cases involving senior SIPS and Metro Police Officials implicated by the commission. We will leave no gaps in the investigation process. So senior prosecutors have been allocated to the task teams. To the international story, that is, the US-Israeli tax on Iran

2:04and the impact of retaliatory attacks. Iran has confirmed that it targeted US airbase in Bahrain. Two drones also attacked the US embassy in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia yesterday, causing a small fire. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News last night that Saturday morning's attacks were launched. After information came to light, that the Iranian government have been building new nuclear weapon bunkers. If no action was taken now, no action could be taken in the future. And then they could target America. They could blackmail America. They could threaten us and threaten everyone in between. And something completely different. Birdwatching can literally rewire the human brain. They are amongst the most spectacular creatures on Earth. They are hummingbirds. And they're glittering colors and they're prowess in the air are unmatched. Birdwatching into the enthusiasts have

3:05full-years valued their peaceful surroundings. But now, new neuroscientific evidence from the University of Zurich suggests this hobby offers more than just relaxation. Researchers have discovered that there are structural differences in the brains of expert birdwatchers. They specialise neural pathways, allow them to identify even unfamiliar species with remarkable speed and accuracy. Because these birders have forced their brains to always listen out for new variations of bird songs and look at new species and flight patterns, they have effectively rewire to their minds. Fulkike is good for you. But it doesn't have to do with the environment, maybe. So they do say there's also something to be said for the fact that it is a relaxing environment that you take your time, you cut off from the outside world, which is very important. But then they do also add that these days, birders have their phones because they have to take photos

4:08and you have your iPad or whatever it is with your list that you have to identify and click. So in that aspect, it's not that cut off. And the others... It's just a first phone of only one, only one, only one. First phone is the first one. No. No. I'm just sociable. Like hide it. It's all in birders are called twitches. Isn't that this length for an actual birder's twitches? Not birders. Twitches. Is it? Yeah. I don't know. The researchers called in birders or birdwatchers. It's a job, Oscar. Oscar computer. Yeah, I found a couple of weird birdwatchers. One of my friends was trying to identify and I can't remember what bird it was. While we were white water rafting, just by Vic Falls. This is shaping up to be a good story. I'm going to start with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just when we went to white water rafting, aren't we? Yeah, stood up in the raft in the middle and started pointing out some yellow breasted something or other and he got thrown into the water

5:10and the rapid is called the devil's toilet bowl and they warn you, just, you know, try and hold on. Don't fall into the water if you can help it and make us direct. And we go still it. And we go still it. And we go still it.
