[00:00:04] After announcements that they are facing shortages due to the war in Iran, [00:00:08] the American president threatens, as he says, traitors who provided [00:00:11] false information to the media. The Peace Committee, which was supposed to manage [00:00:15] Gaza, made the first construction agreement. A new defense alliance [00:00:19] is being formed by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan. The Ukrainian president [00:00:22] has never had less support. A large number of people infected [00:00:26] and dead from Ebola in Congo has been discovered, a deadly coup occurred. [00:00:39] that the supplies of certain types of ammunition and missiles in the USA [00:00:42] have been reduced, but he claims that the army is still extremely strong. According [00:00:46] to reports, the army spent almost four fifths of its Tad missile [00:00:49] supplies and half of its Patriot [00:00:53] interceptors during the war with Iran. Trump sharply condemned the leaking of this information to [00:00:56] the media, calling it a threat to national security. Due [00:01:00] to reduced supplies and the concerns of allies in the Gulf, the American [00:01:04] president ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate, while demanding [00:01:07] an urgent increase in [00:01:09] production from the defense industry. [00:01:17] that we have unlimited, virtual unlimited supply, we have [00:01:20] others where it's a little bit tighter, we have certain types of [00:01:24] munitions which are very, they may not be [00:01:27] as accurate, they may not be, they're not as elite, we have [00:01:31] elite too, but we're we're watching that very closely, [00:01:35] but we have certain types which are very [00:01:38] powerful and very good, and we [00:01:41] have an unlimited supply, and so we're in [00:01:45] great shape, but uh, with that being said, we [00:01:49] always want more, we have to have more, we have other things maybe come up, you [00:01:52] maybe come up and maybe don't come up, hopefully nothing else does come [00:01:56] up, but we're in very good shape, we have literally massive amounts of and [00:02:05] Trump's peace committee issued the first agreement for the reconstruction of Gaza, which [00:02:09] foresees the construction of a small military base for 150 Moroccan [00:02:12] soldiers as part of international stabilization forces. The project was [00:02:16] awarded to the American company Arkel International and will be built in an [00:02:20] area under the control of the Israeli army. Although a complete reconstruction and the New [00:02:24] Gaza project were announced earlier, the plan has since [00:02:27] been reduced to a miniature pilot project. In the meantime, most of the [00:02:31] two million inhabitants of Gaza still live in harsh conditions in [00:02:34] camps without access to drinking water, while Amnesty [00:02:38] International warns of thousands of bodies trapped under [00:02:41] the rubble. [00:02:49] Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan today in Jeddah signed a key [00:02:52] trilateral defense agreement. In addition to closer military coordination, [00:02:56] the agreement includes the exchange of intelligence data for. [00:03:00] Military exercises and cooperation in the defense industry. The pact connects [00:03:03] the economic power of Saudi Arabia, the military technology of Turkey as [00:03:07] a NATO member, and the nuclear potential of Pakistan. [00:03:10] The agreement comes as a direct response to the escalation of the conflict between the USA [00:03:14] and Iran and aims to protect maritime routes in the Red Sea [00:03:18] and the Strait of Hormuz. [00:03:21] I would say that, therefore, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have been [00:03:24] for a long time had uh, or for decades worked in a certain [00:03:28] way uh. very close agreements, or they agreed [00:03:32] on it for several reasons that could be [00:03:36] traced back at least to the time of General Ziaul Haq, who [00:03:40] uh ruled from the 70s for a long time in Pakistan, that such [00:03:43] relations were good. However, with Turkey [00:03:46] in that equation is [00:03:49] uh something that uh I think cannot be of particular [00:03:53] interest to Israel certainly [00:03:57] uh but the key is Pakistan's. um [00:04:00] nuclear bomb, i.e. nuclear, [00:04:04] nuclear weapons that they possess. On the other [00:04:07] hand, Turkey is uh one of the main [00:04:11] players in the Middle East, and not only in the Middle East, but in Africa [00:04:15] and in one part of Asia and Southeast [00:04:18] Europe. In that sense, uh I would say that [00:04:21] that agreement or that type of conversation has [00:04:25] uh, therefore, that it should not be viewed only in light of what has been going on for [00:04:28] decades uh in the area of Arab countries and [00:04:31] Pakistan, but it should be viewed in a broader context. I don't think [00:04:35] it will currently turn into any kind of anti-Western or [00:04:38] any type of agreement, it only [00:04:41] shows uh options that countries want to have, [00:04:45] so Saudi Arabia which uh [00:04:47] necessarily uh therefore does [00:04:50] be completing a not play anymore on one on one point, so even in that sense with [00:04:53] only with Pakistan, is it with Turkey that it has a much [00:04:57] more anti-Israeli feel than it. It used to have [00:05:01] the instrumentality of only Islam Abad and Riyadh, depending on how [00:05:03] we look at this current situation, has Iran lost or [00:05:07] not? Iran obviously did not lose this war in the agreement that was signed in [00:05:11] June. with or in that [00:05:14] pre-agreement with the United States, uh one [00:05:17] of or some of the points that were written down were the situation in Yemen [00:05:21] and the situation in Lebanon and the situation in Gaza, uh that is [00:05:25] something that Iran is currently insisting on, but when the [00:05:28] issue is resolved, uh we will not only resolve the issue of Hormuz, [00:05:32] which is uh what the Americans actually only [00:05:35] started resolving according to the signed agreement, so that [00:05:39] Iran would then stop it or continue with the blockade. [00:05:42] of Hormuz, and it is, despite [00:05:45] these bombings that were ongoing in the meantime, they [00:05:49] obviously did not change anything strategically. Now it is important [00:05:52] in the next few days to see what was [00:05:56] agreed between Oman and Tehran, how [00:05:59] the passage through the Strait will be regulated. However, [00:06:03] Tehran clearly has the final say here, [00:06:06] and uh the Sultanate of Oman, I think, [00:06:10] but uh... You know, I mentioned less [00:06:12] than 90 days until [00:06:15] the elections, the war is extremely unpopular in the United [00:06:18] States, uh, they're probably looking [00:06:22] for a way out of the war at all costs [00:06:24] in Washington. [00:06:29] The rating of Ukrainian President Zelensky fell below the rating [00:06:32] of leading military generals. According to a new survey by the Sozis agency, [00:06:36] Zelensky fell to sixth place in popularity in the country, [00:06:40] with only 18% of citizens giving him full support. [00:06:42] The drop in popularity followed protests [00:06:46] caused by the dismissal of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. [00:06:49] In first place in terms of trust is the former chief of staff [00:06:53] of the armed forces, Valeriy Zaluzhny. Ahead of Zelensky are [00:06:56] the chief of the general staff Mykhailo Drapati and the head [00:07:00] of his cabinet, Kyrylo [00:07:01] Budanov. [00:07:09] The number of confirmed Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo for the first [00:07:13] time exceeded 4,000, while 1,850 [00:07:16] patients died. This is the second largest Ebola epidemic in [00:07:20] history and now the fastest spreading. [00:07:23] Experts warn that the virus began circulating months before [00:07:27] the official declaration of the epidemic on May 15, so it is feared that the [00:07:30] actual number of infected is significantly higher. Cases have been confirmed in [00:07:34] five provinces. Containing the disease is hampered by conflicts on the ground, [00:07:37] an overwhelmed healthcare system, and a lack of [00:07:40] vaccines. [00:07:49] At least seven people died in Thailand when a fourteen-year-old [00:07:52] student carried out a deadly attack at a prestigious high school near [00:07:56] Bangkok. The boy first killed his grandparents in the family home, [00:07:59] then used his grandfather's pistol to kill teachers [00:08:03] and students at the school, after which he took his own life. More than [00:08:07] 15 people were injured, while the students present [00:08:10] saved themselves by locking classrooms and climbing [00:08:13] over fences. The motive for the crime is not yet [00:08:14] known. [00:08:20] I saw that he used a 9mm pistol, [00:08:23] in the bag he carried over his shoulder, he had a pistol magazine [00:08:27] and about 20 to 30 more bullets. When I [00:08:31] arrived, there was complete chaos. The students we found [00:08:34] outside were also wounded in the back, chest, and [00:08:38] arms. We gave them first aid. The student at that [00:08:41] moment... [00:21:29] A trip to the hospital is really something to look forward [00:21:32] to and many of them are failing to keep up with [00:21:35] demand, not enough doctors, crowded waiting [00:21:38] rooms, outdated equipment, so how can [00:21:41] technology help patients and caregivers and what challenges [00:21:45] does digital healthcare present, find out today on [00:21:48] shift. [00:21:52] How can we achieve high quality, affordable healthcare [00:21:56] for everyone? For some tech giants, the answer is [00:21:59] remote patient monitoring or RPM. This [00:22:02] involves collecting and analyzing health data [00:22:05] remotely. RPM is already common in the US, Europe [00:22:09] and parts of Asia, in Pakistan, it's even used in [00:22:12] schools to monitor children's health, and the potential goes [00:22:16] far beyond the classroom. In Pakistan, seeing doctor often. [00:22:20] means long weights and crowded clinics, when you're taking time [00:22:23] off work and you have to spend money to go there, that that that's [00:22:27] a lot of time uh and money being spent, and then often when you actually get to the [00:22:31] doctor or the hospital you might have to spend another two three hours. [00:22:34] pakistani health tech companies are now offering digital services [00:22:38] to help improve care. the startup fitwell offers medical [00:22:42] devices, software and virtual clinics for remote patient [00:22:46] monitoring or RPM. [00:22:50] patients can then check their vitals like blood pressure or glucose levels at [00:22:53] home, using digital devices like smartwatches, glucometers [00:22:57] and blood pressure monitors. [00:23:00] the data goes straight to doctor through secure portal, but [00:23:04] checking levels unsupervised has its limits, accuracy can [00:23:08] vary, the readings aren't always [00:23:10] correct. [00:23:13] sometimes when the information is wrong, especially when you do blood pressure, you might have [00:23:17] had a coffee or that something might have happened, which pushes up the [00:23:21] blood pressure, okay, so so, but the patient didn't know [00:23:24] that, that's where virtual clinics come [00:23:27] in, here, train staff help [00:23:31] patients take accurate measurements, [00:23:34] doctors monitor patients via the platform and online [00:23:38] calls. in underserved, especially minority [00:23:41] communities, these clinics are making a big [00:23:44] difference, [00:23:50] When you have blood pressure issues or headache, we come to this virtual [00:23:53] clinic. We can access the doctor via video call and can get [00:23:57] medicine here. It brings us relief from our pain. [00:24:01] After the initial in-person visit, follow-ups happen online. [00:24:04] Schools also use the virtual clinics to track student health. [00:24:08] AI supports the system, so [00:24:11] every single transaction that our doctor does uh, are [00:24:14] AI supervising it, so it can flag up things that [00:24:18] might not seem right, and then [00:24:22] has to look at it and see was AI right or was AI [00:24:25] wrong. AI won't replace doctors, but help them [00:24:29] work faster and smarter. it can [00:24:31] transcribe doctor patient conversations and manage lab results and [00:24:35] prescriptions. patients can access test results [00:24:39] privately via their online profile where an AI [00:24:42] chatbot is available for questions around the clock. data on [00:24:46] the platform is heavily encrypted and access [00:24:49] via multif. authentication keeps patients [00:24:51] secure. online medical care now spans [00:24:55] countrywide from cities to small towns and villages with over [00:24:59] million people in Pakistan making use of the platform, [00:25:03] but in a country of 220 million, there's [00:25:06] still a long way to go. The situation is also [00:25:09] complicated on the African continent. For instance, [00:25:12] Nigeria is grappling with a shortage of doctors. [00:25:15] Currently there's less than one hospital bed for every thousand [00:25:19] inhabitants. Shortages are particularly [00:25:22] acute in rural areas, healthcare facilities [00:25:25] are overwhelmed and specialists are often miles away. [00:25:29] Telemedicine aims ease access via medical [00:25:32] care. With suitcase full of medical devices, [00:25:35] nurses travel to patients to conduct [00:25:37] examinations. [00:25:40] Images and measurements are transferred to doctor via satellite [00:25:44] in [00:25:44] real-time. [00:25:51] the the machine that's available all [00:25:55] right, we can look at the vital science, the blood pressure, the [00:25:58] temperature, the post oximeter theoxin saturation. [00:26:02] those phones our critical measurements, [00:26:05] since the project began, over 600 patients have been diagnosed [00:26:09] remotely and enjoyed significant [00:26:12] advantages. [00:26:16] i have to postpone, getting to the [00:26:19] hospital because time is not there, and then money is also [00:26:22] involved having to transport yourself to the hospital, so this might be [00:26:26] a talent, so that way one might just want to get by to a [00:26:30] place chemis or pharmacy just get. drugs for the [00:26:33] meantime, during the video consultation, the doctor was [00:26:36] friendly and I felt comfortable speaking with [00:26:39] him, [00:26:44] this kind of trust in doctors is crucial, remote healthcare also [00:26:48] often requires you to record health data on your [00:26:51] own, so you need to be somewhat text sevy and have access to the [00:26:55] internet, but technology is just one of the hurdles along the way, [00:26:59] cultural factors can also slow progress. In [00:27:02] Pakistan, deep rooted cultural norms still shape how people [00:27:06] engage with technology. To [00:27:09] implement digital healthcare, providers are turning to a hybrid [00:27:12] model. [00:27:15] It combines technology with the human touch that many [00:27:19] patients still [00:27:20] expect. [00:27:23] The major problem is reluctance. Okay, Pakistan [00:27:27] and and lot of countries that they need to physically see a [00:27:31] person because... because they get this confidence that I'm now being [00:27:35] dealt with by a real doctor, so so the hybrid model becomes very important [00:27:39] because they don't go straight to technology, they go through [00:27:42] the hybrid situation. The hybrid model gives people a [00:27:46] choice, they can log in from home or visit virtual clinics [00:27:50] where staff help record vitals and manage the tech for remote [00:27:53] care. [00:27:59] The thing is, a patient likes to go where he receives care and [00:28:03] love, it's seeing the doctor, half the [00:28:06] illness is gone when the doctor talks, he can treat us with his [00:28:09] words, [00:28:12] for many in Pakistan, healthcare is about trust and human [00:28:15] connection, technology alone cannot provide [00:28:19] that, therefore remote care must be [00:28:22] flexible, allowing patients to choose how they wish to be [00:28:25] treated, [00:28:29] it goes even worse, they would rather trust, "a [00:28:32] doctor that has been recommended by one of their friends, [00:28:36] because that's the doctor that they know, than somebody [00:28:39] else who is a truly professional, there are just so many [00:28:43] nuances. There's also a gender gap to consider: nearly [00:28:46] 40% of women in Pakistan rely on male [00:28:49] relatives to use mobile phones. Overall, in Muslim [00:28:53] majority countries, taboos around women's health and [00:28:55] contraception are big hurdles to overcome. A startup from Egypt [00:28:59] is aiming to change that with AI." [00:29:19] What I loved most is the AI assistant, she speaks my language in a friendly [00:29:23] and relatable way, there's no judgment at all, it's [00:29:27] very educational and shares all the information it [00:29:30] has.
