[00:00:00] Stay tuned to N1 television, the first news
[00:00:03] review is already at 12 p.m.
[00:00:22] You watched New Day. The show's friend,
[00:00:25] Medicana Health Group.
[00:00:43] The weather forecast is brought to you by your ice cream destination,
[00:00:46] Tropic and Red Apple.
[00:01:00] What kind of weather can we expect today and by the end of the week?
[00:01:04] We are still under the influence of high
[00:01:07] pressure from the Azores anticyclone, a larger
[00:01:10] amount of unstable air has penetrated into
[00:01:14] the jet stream over Europe.
[00:01:17] This jet stream acts to separate
[00:01:20] colder, unstable air from warm,
[00:01:24] hot air that is located in the heat
[00:01:27] wave over our regions. The heat wave is slowly
[00:01:31] moving eastward, so we can announce that we
[00:01:35] are in its maximum,
[00:01:38] but it will gradually
[00:01:40] move eastward, so we are coming under
[00:01:43] the influence of weather from
[00:01:47] the Atlantic, which means a decrease in air
[00:01:50] temperature, but this will be a very short-term
[00:01:54] temperature decrease, because this weakened
[00:01:57] cold front that will pass over our regions will be very short over
[00:02:01] us, it will mostly only brush us with its tail, so
[00:02:05] we expect temperatures to
[00:02:09] start rising again after a slight drop,
[00:02:12] this afternoon mostly thunderstorms over
[00:02:16] Slovenia and Austria, which we will see in
[00:02:19] the northwestern parts of the interior, if we
[00:02:22] look to the west at the cloud mass that
[00:02:26] remains there, however, only small amounts
[00:02:30] of unstable air will penetrate into our area and
[00:02:33] local thunderstorms are possible mostly on
[00:02:37] the Dinarides, meaning uh
[00:02:40] development, local development of clouds that
[00:02:42] with eastern northeasterly
[00:02:45] currents can reach the Adriatic, as
[00:02:48] was the case yesterday evening
[00:02:51] completing a climbing three of with the development of clouds over
[00:02:54] the area around the islands of Hvar and Korčula,
[00:02:58] the situation is the same today, meaning this afternoon
[00:03:02] local weak thunderstorms, the highest
[00:03:04] daily temperature will be
[00:03:08] today in the interior from 34 to
[00:03:12] 38° in Slavonia and Baranja, on the Adriatic
[00:03:16] mostly around 35°C.
[00:03:20] In Bosnia and Herzegovina temperatures
[00:03:23] similar to ours in Croatia with
[00:03:26] temperatures around 36 in the interior.
[00:03:31] in the far south in Herzegovina up to
[00:03:34] 38°C, a weak
[00:03:38] northeasterly wind will bring a little
[00:03:41] refreshment, there is not much moisture in the atmosphere, so
[00:03:45] starting to pay people for small amounts of this heat wave is a little easier
[00:03:48] to bear than the last one which was with significant amounts
[00:03:52] of moisture so the heat index
[00:03:55] was significantly higher. When we look at the further development
[00:03:59] of the situation. "the cold front, weakened, will pass over
[00:04:03] our regions very quickly, after it the high pressure will rise
[00:04:06] again, we are coming to a rise in high pressure,
[00:04:10] it will be clear weather again and stabilization
[00:04:14] of the weather which will probably be
[00:04:17] interrupted only by disturbances somewhere
[00:04:21] around August 14th, 15th, until
[00:04:24] then for the weekend variable weather only
[00:04:28] in the northwestern parts..." of the interior on the northern
[00:04:31] Adriatic, where there will be occasional showers
[00:04:35] and it will be a little colder, but in the rest of
[00:04:39] the country we expect warm
[00:04:42] weather, hot weather, but also the end of the
[00:04:45] heat wave itself. And more about the weather you can follow on our info channels.
[00:05:01] mainly to cool servers, according to a
[00:05:05] Weather information was brought to you by your ice cream destination,
[00:05:10] equivalent to the drinking water needs of Tropic and Red
[00:05:10] like. I mean, what does winning feel like in Apple.
[00:05:49] when I discovered mountaineering while looking into the peaks in the
[00:05:52] distance, and at the time I was going through a great deal in my
[00:05:55] life, my father was in a coma for you, four
[00:05:59] years, he unfortunately later passed away,
[00:06:02] and I carried lot of weight in my life, and I
[00:06:06] needed you know an outlet to turn my pain into my
[00:06:10] power, and that's what mountaineering. now represents for me, it's
[00:06:13] part of my grief journey after losing
[00:06:16] him, it's helped me rebuild my confidence, find my
[00:06:19] purpose, and again I always say, turning my pain
[00:06:22] into my power and my
[00:06:24] strength,
[00:06:32] and my goal has since developed into not just climbing the seven
[00:06:35] summits, the highest mountain on each continent, but seeing the last
[00:06:39] degree to the south and north pole, and though... his
[00:06:42] loss affected me a lot, he is my strength and his memory is my
[00:06:46] strength. he would be so proud of you, I am
[00:06:49] sure as you try before the age
[00:06:53] of 20 to make the explorers
[00:06:57] grand slam. just walk us through what that means
[00:07:00] effectively. well, the grand slam consists of two
[00:07:04] parts. it consists of the seven summits climbing the highest mountain on
[00:07:08] each continent. I've done four of them so far, and I have three
[00:07:11] left. and skiing the last degree, so the
[00:07:15] last 60 nautical miles to the south pole and the north
[00:07:18] pole. what's been the toughest to
[00:07:21] date? I'd say the toughest to date would be Lenin Peak,
[00:07:25] which took me to Kyrgyzstan for three weeks, which is the longest I've ever
[00:07:29] spent away from home, away from my mother, and
[00:07:33] um, the hardest part is having the endurance to keep going every single
[00:07:36] day for three weeks, I'd have to hike a long distance in the heat,
[00:07:40] carrying my heavy backpack, and then have to do all over again the
[00:07:44] next day. talk to me about what comes next. what are you
[00:07:48] doing from now on in to nail this grand slam
[00:07:51] ahead of your 20th birthday? so what happens
[00:07:55] between now and then? um, between December
[00:07:58] and June or July of next year, I'll be
[00:08:03] the seven summits, so Aconcagua, the highest mountain, South
[00:08:07] America, Denali, the highest mountain in North
[00:08:09] America, Everest, where I hope... to do Everest and
[00:08:13] Lhotse within 24 hours, so two 8,000 meter peaks
[00:08:16] and skiing to the south and north pole
[00:08:20] as well as climbing the highest volcano in the world while also
[00:08:24] continuing to study. I know how important it is for
[00:08:28] you that what you are doing inspires
[00:08:31] not just young Emirati women,
[00:08:35] but young women around the world, just talk to me about that.
[00:08:38] Well, exactly, my journey goes beyond summits and personal
[00:08:42] achievement, a story does not end with the person who tells it, it creates
[00:08:46] movement in the listener, and I hope my story encourages others, not
[00:08:50] just women, but people in general of all
[00:08:52] ages, to seek exposure and say yes
[00:08:56] to unfamiliar paths and step outside their
[00:08:59] comfort zones and embrace challenges they never thought was possible, because it's
[00:09:03] through exposure we discover who we are, what we're capable
[00:09:07] of, and where our deepest passions truly lie, no
[00:09:10] matter how difficult life becomes, we all have the ability to
[00:09:13] rise and rebuild and shape a different future, and you know,
[00:09:17] I'm not special, I'm human, and the
[00:09:20] ability to rise and rebuild is something human that I'm
[00:09:24] here to remind people that it's
[00:09:26] possible,
[00:14:14] the AI revolution is here, but along with incredible opportunities
[00:14:18] come new risks, criminals using AI to scam victims out of hundreds
[00:14:22] of thousands of dollars, data centers consuming vast amounts of
[00:14:25] energy and water and intelligence agencies warning that
[00:14:29] advanced AI could supercharge cyber attacks, so how worried
[00:14:32] should we be? and who should be held accountable? let's get into
[00:14:35] it.
[00:14:39] think you'd never fall for an online scam? Well, it can happen to
[00:14:42] anyone. This businessman lost $400,000 to an AI
[00:14:46] driven crypto scam. I still wake up occasionally in the middle of the
[00:14:49] night with anxiety where it just all of a sudden hits me. AI
[00:14:53] assisted scams are on the rise according to crime researchers
[00:14:57] and the FBI, criminal networks use AI to work across
[00:15:00] borders and languages, reaching more victims than ever before.
[00:15:04] Here's what you can learn from Chris's story: I
[00:15:07] met Alizer through Facebook, um,
[00:15:10] November 2024,
[00:15:13] um, I got a friend request, they began talking, eventually
[00:15:17] Eliza brought up crypto investments and how much money she made with it, they
[00:15:21] even had a video call. Eliza looked real, Chris decided
[00:15:25] to invest. This was a way for me to grow
[00:15:28] my retirement fund. I had no plans to stay in it for very
[00:15:32] long. The platform showed steady profits. Everything
[00:15:36] seemed legit, until Chris mentioned it to a friend. I have this friend, she's a
[00:15:40] bank manager. She said, what are you doing, Chris? I said, it's part of
[00:15:44] my investment. She goes, what are you investing in? She said,
[00:15:47] Chris,
[00:15:50] you were scammed. The investment platform was fake, the
[00:15:53] profits were fake and Chris still doesn't know whether he was talking
[00:15:57] to a person or an AI. There were real people involved,
[00:16:00] however, one time a man physically came to Chris's house to collect cash in
[00:16:04] person. Minutes later, the cash showed up in his investment account. when Chris
[00:16:08] realized he had been scammed, he sent doorbell camera footage to law
[00:16:11] enforcement, but so far no luck catching the man. I was planning to
[00:16:15] retire in like another three or four years,
[00:16:18] that unless something changes, that's not going to happen,
[00:16:22] which is, to say it's discouraging is probably a gross
[00:16:26] understatement.
[00:16:28] This isn't an isolated case, scammers around the world
[00:16:31] use the same playbook, create a fake identity, build trust,
[00:16:35] convince someone to invest. then disappear. There are
[00:16:39] entire scam factories, often based in Southeast Asia. They are known to
[00:16:43] force human trafficked victims to work in teams to scam people
[00:16:46] worldwide. Experts estimate that hundreds of thousands of trafficked
[00:16:49] victims are involved in such operations, and technology
[00:16:53] is supercharging this. AI can
[00:16:56] help criminals write convincing messages in many languages.
[00:16:59] It can create realistic images, it can clone voices and it makes
[00:17:03] fake identities much harder to detect. As large language
[00:17:06] models, for example, have gotten better and better, you're suddenly
[00:17:10] globalizing the audience you can communicate with. Some scam
[00:17:14] factories use specialized software that incorporates leading AI models to
[00:17:18] automate and scale their operations. A recent
[00:17:20] investigation found OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's
[00:17:24] Gemini to be the most used tools, but models from Europe and
[00:17:27] China were also used. Internet access is another key part of the
[00:17:31] operation. Starlink is the number one internet service provider in
[00:17:34] Myanmar where many scam factories are based. "Starlink is how these
[00:17:38] compounds continue to connect to the internet and the way that they get
[00:17:41] around all the other restrictions that are put in place." That raises the question
[00:17:45] of who carries responsibility here. Is Big Tech to
[00:17:48] blame? Most technology companies have guidelines that forbid
[00:17:52] criminal use of their products, but they also argue that monitoring user
[00:17:56] activity would raise privacy concerns. Some companies have taken
[00:17:59] action. Starlink says it has disabled thousands of internet
[00:18:03] terminals linked to scam compounds. Yet investigators say new sites
[00:18:06] continue to emerge using Starlink again. Critics argue that AI
[00:18:10] companies and internet providers have the technical ability to do
[00:18:13] more but lack regulatory pressure. The United Kingdom,
[00:18:16] the European Union, Australia and Singapore have introduced
[00:18:20] rules that require companies to better prevent online scams, but
[00:18:24] regulation takes time, so what can you do right now? If someone
[00:18:28] you meet online starts talking about investments, be careful, if they
[00:18:31] pressure you to move money quickly, that's a major red flag.
[00:18:35] Use reverse image search to check profile photos, never invest through a
[00:18:39] link sent by someone you've only met online, search independently
[00:18:43] before sending any money, and if something feels off, trust that
[00:18:47] feeling. you can even paste your chat into an AI tool and ask if it looks like
[00:18:51] a scam. if you suspect you're being scammed, stop sending money
[00:18:54] immediately, save messages and take screenshots of
[00:18:57] payments. report the scam even if you might not get your money back, you could prevent
[00:19:01] others from falling for the same scam. because as AI continues to evolve,
[00:19:05] your best defense isn't just better technology.
[00:19:08] It's knowing how these scams really work, stay
[00:19:10] safe.
[00:19:13] What if your next electricity bill came with a reward for using less power, so
[00:19:17] data centers can use more? Tech giant Google is
[00:19:22] their unused energy, from household appliances, and EVs, for
[00:19:26] example. The idea, turn millions of everyday devices into a virtual
[00:19:30] power plant for data centers. Sounds
[00:19:32] crazy, well, as AI use is exploding, data centers need huge amounts
[00:19:36] of electricity. They leave a massive environmental footprint because of carbon
[00:19:40] emissions and extensive water use for cooling. Regions in Asia and
[00:19:44] Latin America are seeing a data center boom, they can
[00:19:47] bring jobs and investment, but also strain
[00:19:50] power supply and increase water and energy costs. So communities are
[00:19:54] asking, how do we balance the benefits and the downsides?
[00:19:57] Let's break it down. Data centers use enormous amounts of
[00:20:01] electricity. Some of the biggest ones can consume as much
[00:20:04] power as around 50,000 homes together and for people living
[00:20:08] nearby that could affect energy supply, take Mumbai for example.
[00:20:11] Experts say the data centers could use 1/3 of the city's electricity by
[00:20:15] 2030. One idea we've already teased: virtual
[00:20:19] power plants or VPPs. The concept is simple: rather than one
[00:20:23] big power source, a VPP connects thousands of smaller ones, home
[00:20:27] batteries, EV chargers, rooftop solar systems. People get
[00:20:31] paid to share that energy, helping ease pressure on the grid. Data
[00:20:34] centers use large amounts of water,
[00:20:38] recent United Nations report, data centers could consume over 9
[00:20:42] trillion liters of water every year by 2030. That's roughly
[00:20:47] the entire world population in a year.
[00:20:50] In some regions like Latin America, growing demand is causing tension.
[00:20:54] Residents are worried about water use during droughts. In Uruguay, for
[00:20:57] example, mass protest broke out after a Google Data Center was
[00:21:01] proposed during the country's worst drought in 70 years. A
[00:21:04] similar fight played out in Chile, one of the most drought-prone countries in Latin
[00:21:08] America. In Santiago Cerillo's district, a proposed Google data
[00:21:12] center was projected to use 7.6 million liters of
[00:21:15] water a day, which is about as much water as the surrounding community
[00:21:19] uses in a year. So what if the cooling water didn't have to come from
[00:21:22] rivers or groundwater? One idea, put data centers in the
[00:21:26] ocean. China has recently launched an underwater data center,
[00:21:29] submerged 10 kms off the coast of Shanghai, it sits 10 m
[00:21:33] below the surface. The cooling happens naturally
[00:21:36] there, but some worry that projects like these will disturb marine
[00:21:40] ecosystems. Data centers don't just consume
[00:21:42] resources, they also occupy land. Some fear whole
[00:21:46] communities could be displaced. It's already
[00:21:48] happening in India. where local farmers refuse to give up their land for a Google
[00:21:52] data center. So to avoid putting any more stress on the
[00:21:56] planet, some are looking beyond earth. researchers in Singapore
[00:21:59] have proposed a system where satellites in low earth orbit could act like data
[00:22:03] centers, sharing computing power, storage and network traffic. To have
[00:22:07] data centers in space offers two big advantages: almost unlimited
[00:22:11] solar energy and natural cooling from the extreme cold of space. Europe's
[00:22:15] Asen project, UAE's Madari Space and China are
[00:22:18] already testing prototypes. But there are some problems,
[00:22:22] cost, difficult maintenance or space debris to name a few. In the
[00:22:26] end, feelings are mixed. In some places, data centers were once
[00:22:30] welcomed, like in the US state of Virginia, where they supported over
[00:22:33] 75 thousand jobs across the state and generated more than
[00:22:36] $1.6 billion dollars in tax revenue in 2023, but
[00:22:40] over time the public there turned against them. Bottom line, data centers bring
[00:22:44] jobs, innovation and growth, but also noise, pressure on resources
[00:22:48] and environmental concerns. and while the benefits might be
[00:22:51] global, the impact is felt most strongly at the local level.
[00:22:55] so what do you think? Is it a fair trade-off? What's your take on this? Let us
[00:22:59] know.
[00:23:01] Imagine waking up, your bank account locked, the power grid
[00:23:05] completely down, government websites suddenly switched off,
[00:23:08] an entire country's critical infrastructure crippled in
[00:23:11] seconds, not by an army of human hackers, but by a single
[00:23:15] AI model. Sounds like sci-fi, right? But according to a rare and urgent
[00:23:18] warning from the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance, a scenario like this
[00:23:22] is only a few months away. The joint statement of five country security
[00:23:26] agencies says that AI accelerates the speed, scale and
[00:23:29] sophistication of cyber threats and urges global leaders to
[00:23:33] act right now. What's more? This initiative took place in June, only
[00:23:37] days after the Trump administration officially blocked foreign
[00:23:40] nationals from accessing Anthropic's Mythos and Fable models. Is the
[00:23:44] global AI race playing out as a cyber weapons arms race?
[00:23:48] Let's dive in. The Five Eyes alliance issued a blanket
[00:23:52] warning about the dangers of so-called frontier AI models, but right
[00:23:55] now Anthropic's newest tech is taking center stage. In very simple
[00:23:59] terms, standard AI can code and fix bugs.
[00:24:03] Frontier models like Mythos can scan code, find flaws and then
[00:24:06] plan, test and launch a full cyber attack.
[00:24:10] Previously, targeted zero day exploits could only be
[00:24:13] executed by advanced hackers, that means detecting deeply hidden
[00:24:17] software vulnerabilities that the creators don't even know exist.
[00:24:20] Now, anyone with an internet connection and access to a capable
[00:24:24] frontier model could theoretically do that. This drastically accelerates
[00:24:28] the speed and scale of cyber warfare. For this
[00:24:31] reason, Anthropic had kept its most powerful frontier model, Claude
[00:24:35] Mythos 5, restricted to select corporations to help
[00:24:38] strengthen cyber defenses. Its hacking capabilities were deemed too
[00:24:42] dangerous for public use. Claude Fable 5 was supposed to be the
[00:24:45] safe public version with built-in guard rails, but the Trump
[00:24:48] administration didn't agree. They expressed concerns over a potential
[00:24:52] security flaw citing a jail break that allowed users to
[00:24:55] bypass the AI safeguards. US authorities claimed there was an
[00:24:59] unacceptable risk of these models being diverted into military
[00:25:03] intelligence and used by foreign adversaries, so they banned
[00:25:07] access to both models for all foreign nationals overnight, in a move
[00:25:10] strongly criticized by developers and
[00:25:12] experts. Following negotiations, Anthropic officially
[00:25:16] redeployed and restored Claude Fable 5 on July 1st. But what
[00:25:20] were the global implications of the short-lived ban? Global
[00:25:24] fallout was massive. By pulling the plug overnight, Washington didn't just
[00:25:27] hold back a piece of software. They shuttered global trust in American tech. Many
[00:25:31] leaders believed that powerful models like fable could help patch their own
[00:25:35] cyber security to avoid doomsday scenarios like the one we talked about in the
[00:25:39] beginning. but if the Trump administration can just cut off
[00:25:42] anyone, even ally like Australia, which had just signed
[00:25:45] major national AI deal with anthropic, what stopping them from blocking
[00:25:49] access to... other crucial software. If techs across Europe, Asia and
[00:25:53] Latin America realize they can't rely on American platforms, they
[00:25:56] will inevitably look for alternatives, like the advanced state
[00:26:00] backed open source models flowing out of China. and they have their very own
[00:26:03] flaws. around the world, there are initiatives to become less dependent on
[00:26:07] US tech, especially AI. the EU, for example is pushing hard
[00:26:11] for much more digital sovereignty at the moment, but it's a long way to
[00:26:15] go, because AI needs massive infrastructure and
[00:26:17] investments. that's why many experts and
[00:26:21] politicians are calling for international cooperation to rain
[00:26:24] in the risk of unregulated AI development. do you think that's
