[00:00:25] a strong earthquake of 7.4 on the
[00:00:27] scale.
[00:00:30] Around 7:34 in the morning local time in Colombia and the
[00:00:34] epicenter was in San José del Palmar in the department of Chocó in
[00:00:37] the Southwest of the country. So far, the
[00:00:41] authorities report serious damages in several
[00:00:44] cities, especially in Cali, Pereira and
[00:00:48] Manizales. There, several buildings have been
[00:00:52] affected, uh, several have collapsed, there are people under
[00:00:55] the rubble and several injured people have already been rescued.
[00:00:59] Pereira airport has suffered damages, as has
[00:01:03] Quibdó airport, and for the moment, President Abelardo de
[00:01:06] la Espriella has said that he will travel to those
[00:01:09] places to take direct command and
[00:01:13] control to coordinate all relief,
[00:01:16] rescue and primary
[00:01:21] probably a dangerous way because of aid efforts for the affected people. I have ordered
[00:01:24] the only scenario, it's one of to suspend all the agenda I had in the capital of the Republic to
[00:01:28] concentrate on the. natural disaster that today
[00:01:32] afflicts our suffering Colombian
[00:01:34] people, I have called an emergency
[00:01:38] meeting, a unified command post in the
[00:01:41] offices of the UNGRD in Bogotá, I will be there
[00:01:45] with the whole team, making decisions and taking actions,
[00:01:48] personally I am going to
[00:01:52] lead these actions to
[00:01:56] bring solutions to our people in the department of
[00:01:59] Chocó, in the coffee region, and in other
[00:02:02] affected areas of the country, you are not alone,
[00:02:05] Colombia has a president who cares for his people and who will
[00:02:09] do everything in his power to help them in their
[00:02:13] most difficult moments, we have seen very strong images on social
[00:02:17] networks in Manizales, the cathedral suffered
[00:02:20] damages, the dome
[00:02:23] detached and moments of panic, of anguish, here in
[00:02:27] Bogotá, the capital, people... apartment
[00:02:30] buildings were evacuated, businesses, schools,
[00:02:34] who were just arriving at their places, these
[00:02:38] people were able to
[00:02:41] be outside, but obviously what came to mind were those moments that
[00:02:45] were experienced recently in Venezuela with that earthquake
[00:02:49] that left thousands of victims, injured and
[00:02:52] affected people, for the moment the fire department authorities, the
[00:02:55] Red Cross, civil defense, the police are arriving at the most
[00:02:59] affected sites to provide support to the
[00:03:03] people who were affected after this earthquake,
[00:03:07] I repeat, of magnitude 7.4 and 96
[00:03:10] km deep, the governor of Chocó
[00:03:14] has said that she immediately asks for help to be able to assist
[00:03:18] the people who are under the rubble, the same
[00:03:22] has been said by the mayor of Cali Alejandro
[00:03:24] Eder.
[00:03:34] We do start with breaking news tonight and some stunning new reporting on an
[00:03:38] elaborate ruse to conceal the secret plane that President Trump used
[00:03:42] to fly out of Turkey last month. The Washington Post
[00:03:45] reports this tonight, saying quote, an Iranian assassination threat
[00:03:49] against President Trump prompted an extraordinary operation in
[00:03:53] which he flew secretly from Turkey on an alternate
[00:03:56] military aircraft, while the White House said he was a... or
[00:04:00] Air Force 1. If you look back at the video from
[00:04:04] that day now, you can see how this clandestine mission played
[00:04:07] out. President Trump was seen boarding Air Force 1 at
[00:04:10] 8:24 p.m. local time on July 8th,
[00:04:14] but actually, according to the post, and you can see here, Trump
[00:04:17] and several of his aids were secretly shuttled minutes later onto
[00:04:21] this airport catering truck, which was elevated and
[00:04:25] positioned a door out of the view of the
[00:04:27] cameras. now the post reports, that the president was on that
[00:04:31] catering truck when it pulled away from Air Force 1 at 8:30
[00:04:35] p.m., secretly bringing him to a smaller plane in
[00:04:38] Air Force C32A, making the
[00:04:41] air force one that everyone thought he was on, decoy, that
[00:04:45] still had the reporters who thought the president had boarded that plane, and
[00:04:48] who you see boarding right here on the
[00:04:51] systems are building on in right, and some white house staff aboard. the
[00:04:53] Washington post reports and I quote, the maneuver meant that the
[00:04:57] president's actual location was concealed from the...
[00:05:13] from that other secret plane back onto air force
[00:05:16] 1 after it landed, you see here the reporters captured the
[00:05:19] president, getting off the plane that they thought he had just flown on with
[00:05:23] them to the UK and he's seen coming down the stairs just before
[00:05:27] 11 p.m. after greeting american service members on the
[00:05:31] tarmac, trump got on the new air force one jet, that's the one that
[00:05:35] was given to the president by the Qatari government and then he flew
[00:05:38] back to Washington. now the plane that he's getting on here is: not to be
[00:05:42] confused with the old air force 1 decoy or the military plane
[00:05:46] that he flew on secretly, but it was when the
[00:05:49] president got back on this plane to fly home to the US that he
[00:05:53] was asked by reporters why they had been told to lower their window
[00:05:57] shades on that first flight which is extremely unusual
[00:06:00] and not typically something that happens for the press that sits on the right side of the
[00:06:04] plane which is where that airport catering truck was now that you look back at
[00:06:08] that other video, but given what we know now, given the pictures that
[00:06:12] you can't see now, it makes what the president told reporters in that gaggle
[00:06:16] afterward, all the more
[00:06:17] noteworthy,
[00:06:20] you saying there wasn't a security concern, no, do you know why
[00:06:24] they had us close our our window blinds, that was not
[00:06:26] usually, well yeah, because uh,
[00:06:30] you're,
[00:06:33] the sleep bags that we have to deal with anything that Iran
[00:06:37] was possibly thinking, well, I mean, if they ask you to close your windows probably they
[00:06:41] feel. just mine, but if they did i would have done it. were you
[00:06:45] aware of any credible threat by Iran against your first one? well, I have a threat all the
[00:06:48] time. I'm number one on their list before
[00:06:51] you, but if I go, you go. right, but was there a
[00:06:55] specs perhaps some do you want to change
[00:06:58] professions.
[00:07:00] If I go, you go, though the president
[00:07:04] wasn't actually on the same plane as the reporters who were asking him that
[00:07:07] question, and when they asked him about why they had to lower their own shades,
[00:07:11] the president said, he wasn't told to lower his, well he was a
[00:07:15] secret plane, he was not on the same plane that those reporters
[00:07:19] and some white house staffers were flying on.
[00:07:36] no one could resist America in this way with the support of the Israeli regime
[00:07:39] and many other countries, including all Western countries and some
[00:07:43] others that we all know, and that they will not bow their heads, but will ultimately
[00:07:47] force the enemy to seek negotiations. The American president at
[00:07:51] the beginning of the war wrote two words: "Unconditional surrender", that was what
[00:07:55] they demanded from us, and that same enemy after about 20
[00:07:58] days begged for negotiations, in diplomacy the Iranian
[00:08:02] nation showed that it knows very well how to defend its rights.
[00:08:05] I heard this from various officials, exactly in these words: "you won
[00:08:09] the war in diplomacy".
[00:08:23] The judicial council unanimously at the end of the trial made the following decision
[00:08:27] in the name of the Arab people in Syria, the Court unanimously decides
[00:08:31] the following: first, the accused Bashar El Assad, son of Hafez, mother
[00:08:34] Anise, born in
[00:08:37] 1965, is found guilty
[00:08:40] sa predumišljajem, krivično djelo. ubistva sa namjerom više osoba,
[00:08:44] murder with intent of children under 15 years of age, murder with intent
[00:08:47] accompanied by acts of torture and cruelty, and the criminal act
[00:08:50] of incitement to premeditated murder and murder with intent on multiple
[00:08:54] occasions, which qualifies as a crime against humanity, war
[00:08:58] crimes, and for the criminal act of torture, torture with fatal outcome, as well as
[00:09:02] the criminal act of deprivation of liberty on multiple occasions, which qualifies as
[00:09:05] a crime against humanity, war crimes, committed from
[00:09:08] February 15, 2011, and onwards, and is therefore
[00:09:12] sentenced to death, the accused Atef Nadžib,
[00:09:16] son of Nadžib, is found guilty of the criminal act of assault with the aim of causing
[00:09:19] civil war and inter-ethnic conflict punishable under Article
[00:09:22] 298 of the General Criminal Code, the sentences
[00:09:26] of deprivation of liberty will be combined and the harshest sentence will be executed, which is
[00:09:30] the death penalty in accordance with Article 204 of the General Criminal
[00:09:33] Code, with the summation of all monetary fines and their full
[00:09:37] execution.
[00:09:47] 'the Mediterranean has been incredibly warm as of the waters
[00:09:51] um to the west of Europe as well, we see marine heat waves and
[00:09:54] and those marine heat waves also feed into the kind of heat we're seeing over the land because they're
[00:09:58] providing the back part of the background warmth that this kind of high pressure
[00:10:03] addition to that with the dry soil um we're
[00:10:07] also seeing now um it's kind of generally the case I should
[00:10:10] say that um when soil wet, it's harder to
[00:10:14] warm up and as that soil dries out it becomes much easier
[00:10:17] for the weather situation to warm, the land up and then warm
[00:10:21] the air up, so lots of these kind of factors are kind of coming together to... see
[00:10:25] give us the record heat that we're seeing um this
[00:10:27] year.
[00:10:37] With Dr. Fouti appearing before a senate committee last week, we've been hearing the phrase
[00:10:41] gain of function research again. What does it actually
[00:10:44] mean? Basically, it's where genetic modifications are made an
[00:10:47] organism to change what that organism can do. This has many
[00:10:51] positive uses, but gain of function can also be another way to describe the beginning.
[00:10:55] of biological warfare, such as when you modify virus, and as if
[00:10:59] we don't have enough to worry about already, the spector of such
[00:11:02] warfare still haunts the world. think back several years ago to the beginning of the
[00:11:06] COVID outbreak, pretty scary stuff, required all hands on
[00:11:09] deck around the world, and yet COVID's letality was not even
[00:11:13] 1%. now imagine an organism designed to kill at
[00:11:17] something like 100%, and to be easily transmissible, it
[00:11:21] would make nuclear war look like child's play, sure, buildings would still
[00:11:25] be standing, but the people inside would all be dead. though
[00:11:29] biological warfare is a war crime and is covered by the 1972
[00:11:32] biological weapons convention, there's no guarantee that some lab out there
[00:11:36] isn't planning or engaged in it now, and even if no one
[00:11:40] tries to commit biological warfare, there's that not too unlikely
[00:11:43] scenario of another lab leak, a phrase associated with
[00:11:47] the covid outbreak as well, so we need to think about the possibilities and to
[00:11:50] figure out how to prevent the worst, someone who's already done a
[00:11:54] lot of that thing. is investigative journalist Andy Jacobson, her
[00:11:57] specialty is war and weapons, not to mention government
[00:12:00] secrecy. In 2024 she came out with
[00:12:03] nuclear war, a scenario, and now she has
[00:12:06] new best seller, it is called biological war, a
[00:12:10] scenario. Annie joins me now. Annie, your your book is not
[00:12:13] science fiction, you kind of reverse engineered it from
[00:12:17] Pentagon documents and the people who plan this sort of thing,
[00:12:21] walk me through how fast it moves. In other words, it
[00:12:24] starts with lab leak in Siberia, in your
[00:12:27] scenario, how many days until total anarchy in the
[00:12:31] US?
[00:12:33] Well, I take the reader from outbreak, as you say, to
[00:12:37] anarchy in six days, because that is
[00:12:41] precisely what would happen if you
[00:12:43] have pathogen that has been genetically
[00:12:46] modified to be hypervirulent, like kill
[00:12:50] lot of people, COVID killed 1% or
[00:12:53] less, there are... pathogens, the one I use in my book,
[00:12:56] pneumonic plague, has a 100% case
[00:13:00] fatality rate, if you also modify that to
[00:13:03] be, human to human transmissible, fancy word
[00:13:07] for airborne,
[00:13:10] and and it is also modified to defeat medical
[00:13:13] countermeasures, vaccines,
[00:13:15] antibiotics, now you have nightmare
[00:13:18] scenario at scale that is happening
[00:13:22] so fast, there is just absolutely no... that the
[00:13:25] government can respond,
[00:13:28] so in the book you alternate between laying out the data, the
[00:13:31] history, the science, and then you paint the picture of this
[00:13:35] scenario, and there are any number of instances as I read the book where I found myself
[00:13:39] saying, wait a minute, is that actually true, so here's a detail that I couldn't
[00:13:43] shake, you have the soviets working to
[00:13:45] engineer this plague so that the infected would feel more
[00:13:49] euphoric so that they would go out and they would socialize, is that
[00:13:53] true?
[00:13:55] It is true and it's a detail that was given to me by one of the
[00:13:59] world's subject matter experts on plague,
[00:14:02] Dr. Henry Hein, he worked at Fort Detrick at the
[00:14:06] usamrid facility, that's the defense department's only
[00:14:10] BSL4, that's a maximum containment
[00:14:13] facility um in America, and
[00:14:16] it's Hein who told me that when they were working to develop, try
[00:14:20] and develop medical counter measures for plague um in the early
[00:14:23] 2000s. they you in the late
[00:14:26] 1990s is when they had learned the Russian scientists in
[00:14:30] their illegal program were
[00:14:33] inserting the gene for euphoria into the
[00:14:37] front end of the disease, and you might say, well, why
[00:14:39] on earth would anyone do that? well, if you feel
[00:14:43] terribly ill because you have plague, you're going to go
[00:14:46] home, get under the covers and not infect
[00:14:50] lot of people, but if you're feeling euphoria,
[00:14:53] you're going to naturally... want to go out and socialize, you might
[00:14:57] even wind up in a disco, which is where the scenario I
[00:15:01] write begins.
[00:15:03] Okay, and this then creates the damned if you do, damned if you don't,
[00:15:07] scenario relative to gain a function research, because if we
[00:15:10] think that some of our adversaries are engaged
[00:15:14] in this sort of experimentation, the only way, you correct me if I'm wrong, that
[00:15:18] we can be ready is if we too are involved in gain
[00:15:21] a function research, so what should we be doing?
[00:15:27] I mean you've hit the nail on the head with the catch 22
[00:15:31] often of war gaming of actual warfare
[00:15:34] which is you know sword and shield you.
[00:15:38] count attack, offense, defense, and so gain
[00:15:41] of function does exactly that, it's it's looking at
[00:15:44] pathogens and trying to give them more you know
[00:15:48] virulance, make them airborne, defeat
[00:15:51] medical counter measures under the premise that you're
[00:15:55] actually doing defensive work, so that if
[00:15:58] someone attacks you with a genetically modified
[00:16:01] weapon, you have some sense of how to
[00:16:05] perhaps make a countermeasure. but of course we know from COVID that
[00:16:09] this creates an extremely dangerous situation
[00:16:13] whereby the threat, the risk,
[00:16:17] I think most people would tell you is so much greater
[00:16:20] than any potential reward.
[00:16:24] You deliberately anchored so many
[00:16:26] plot points to something that has actually happened in COVID, the the the cruise
[00:16:30] ship, um, the wet market explanation, even an aircraft carrier
[00:16:34] that's taken out a commission, why, why was it important to you? that none
[00:16:38] of this be invented and that you were able to peg it to real
[00:16:41] events.
[00:16:44] For the same reason i put my sources right up
[00:16:47] front, I list who I spoke to. I do this in nuclear
[00:16:50] war scenario and I do it in biological war scenario. I want readers
[00:16:54] to understand that these are scenarios that are gamed out
[00:16:58] by the Pentagon. It's not
[00:17:01] them, and so you get the sense of this could
[00:17:05] actually happen, and people are think...
[00:17:07] about this, I'm not writing to terrify people, the point is
[00:17:11] really not panic as much as it is pressure,
[00:17:15] because once the regular folks, we, the
[00:17:18] people understand, these are major threats,
[00:17:22] they exist, the government is trying to prepare for them, and in essence
[00:17:25] knows there is nothing they can do, then we can all
[00:17:29] have a sort of more informed say in what we think
[00:17:32] about something, like for example, gain a
[00:17:35] function.
[00:17:43] This is one of the places where at this moment rescue efforts
[00:17:47] are being carried out to rescue possible survivors after the
[00:17:51] 7.4 earthquake that
[00:17:54] occurred in the
[00:17:56] southwest of Colombia, here the aid
[00:17:59] here here
[00:18:02] a backhoe and before entering the area where they are doing
[00:18:06] the operation I would like to know if there are signs of life,
[00:18:10] signs, at this moment there are possibilities of life,
[00:18:13] you can observe, there is silence, they have heard
[00:18:17] noises in the lower part, uh, the relief organizations,
[00:18:21] civil defense and fire department that are supporting these
[00:18:24] efforts, Cali fire department, Jamundí fire department
[00:18:28] and Bogotá fire department, how many have been rescued
[00:18:30] alive, eh alive today they rescued one person in the
[00:18:34] morning, several bodies were removed
[00:18:38] lifeless, unfortunately, thank you very much, here are
[00:18:41] the ambulances waiting, machinery and I will
[00:18:45] enter silently the zero zone of this
[00:18:49] place located in the south of the city, while we
[00:18:52] see how the rescue organizations are in permanent
[00:18:56] shifts
[00:18:58] for first aid in case
[00:19:02] of finding people alive,
[00:19:05] I'm going to lower
[00:19:09] my voice and I'm going to leave
[00:19:12] you to watch the silent operation
[00:19:16] that is being carried out at this site.
[00:19:57] they ask for silence because
[00:20:00] they heard knocking inside the
[00:20:04] rubble.
[00:20:56] they sent a microphone to see if they could hear
[00:20:57] anything,
[00:21:00] they are already returning this rope with the
[00:21:04] microphone they introduce
[00:21:08] to listen for sounds, if they have heard sounds
[00:21:11] at this
[00:21:14] site I speak in a
[00:21:16] low voice because they are requesting it.
[00:22:40] just coming in, as you can see, that's how these
[00:22:43] operations go, day and night
[00:22:46] it's the same circuit, silence is made,
[00:22:49] now with special equipment they are
[00:22:52] monitoring, fortunately they have heard
[00:22:55] sounds, some moans, they told
[00:22:58] us, and some knocks, now
[00:23:01] we hope to be lucky and hope that night does not fall,
[00:23:05] here we continue with our
[00:23:08] faith intact so
[00:23:10] that we have survivors after this
[00:23:14] tragedy, one of the strongest earthquakes that
[00:23:18] Colombia has had.
[00:23:37] I believe that there can only be one truth, I am Nikola Vučić,
[00:23:41] you are watching
[00:23:42] N1.
[00:30:03] Even though it's only August, we already have five movies that are
[00:30:07] managed to earn over a billion dollars. In previous
[00:30:10] years, it happened that these were one or two films at the level of
[00:30:14] the entire year. Three of those five are still in theaters,
[00:30:18] so we're checking how they rank, them and
[00:30:21] the others. Welcome to the movie top 10 channel
[00:30:24] N1. This is what the current
[00:30:28] American Box Office
[00:30:29] list looks like.
