[00:00:00] them spinning this news in a way that is more favorable to them, but very
[00:00:03] fundamentally if they could snap their fingers and have it be that their
[00:00:07] AIs do not break out and randomly hack things, they would definitely want to do
[00:00:10] that, so I don't think it's all spin, I don't think it's all some elaborate con, I
[00:00:14] think they are genuinely scared, but you do have to take the
[00:00:18] exact phrasing with a pinch of salt. The honest answer, and this is kind of
[00:00:21] unfortunate is that AI is becoming more and more of a
[00:00:25] critical piece of national security infrastructure, and
[00:00:28] so I would guess... the US government had at least
[00:00:32] some part to play in the decision, the more it
[00:00:35] becomes the case that these things have you, for example previously
[00:00:38] anthropic and open AI had their own internal programs to figure out who would get private
[00:00:41] access to these models for defense, now the US government has kind of taken over
[00:00:45] that. I think is absolutely wonderful, I think that some part of what's
[00:00:49] going on is the UK government doesn't have as much leverage and the
[00:00:52] third party auditors they're looking for very much auditors, very
[00:00:56] difficult question,
[00:00:58] mean a couple of things. What have we seen lately? So I think one thing that people
[00:01:02] underrate is that the China is in some ways more
[00:01:06] sympathetic to slowing down because they're aware of the fact that if AI gets very
[00:01:10] powerful, it could be bad for the PRC, could disrupt their ability to sort
[00:01:14] of um function effectively as a sort of dominant
[00:01:17] government. Um, so actually compared to the
[00:01:20] US, they have some appetite for it, they are also currently behind,
[00:01:24] so there's a lot of specifics in how you do anything like slowing down or
[00:01:27] restraint, but there are definitely versions of it which... I would guess will be pretty appealing to
[00:01:31] them. Also that yeah,
[00:01:34] so they're not exactly open source in that what they release is
[00:01:38] the contents to run them yourself, but not to actually build them yourself or see how they've
[00:01:41] done, see how they build like traditional open source software, you can see all the
[00:01:45] code, you know if it's safe, but that
[00:01:48] decision to to public things, it's very common in
[00:01:51] tech in general for people who are a little behind the frontier to want to make the things more
[00:01:55] available, so sort of Google doing this with Android was a similar story and
[00:02:00] hid them in remote places Windows doing it. To Apple by releasing sort of Windows
[00:02:02] OS. I'm certainly hoping that it ends up being a damp squib,
[00:02:06] but I think that the chances that it on are substantial enough that we need to
[00:02:09] take this very, very seriously. I mean, if you look at
[00:02:13] meetings. The decision comes at the kinds of people who are worried, it's a lot of the most
[00:02:16] heavyweight, well respected AI research
[00:02:19] luminaries, and the predictions that the people who are most worried
[00:02:23] were making 10 years ago are beginning to come true, so definitely watch this
[00:02:27] space.
[00:03:00] To the Members of the European Parliament in Strasbourg on the state of the Union,
[00:03:03] President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, summed up.
[00:03:07] German Chancellor Merkel is record unpopular, the costs of the war in
[00:03:10] Iran are increasing, and reports are coming in this morning about an attempted
[00:03:14] Houthi attack on the holiest site of Islam in Mecca. A new tragedy
[00:03:18] occurred in Gaza. Welcome to
[00:03:20] Global.
[00:03:27] The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, delivered her annual
[00:03:31] State of the European Union address in Strasbourg, warning that
[00:03:34] the Union faces its most insecure position
[00:03:37] yet due to aggressive Russia, economic pressures and hybrid
[00:03:41] threats. As key priorities, she cited the launch of the European
[00:03:44] economy, energy market reform, and strengthening security
[00:03:48] protocols based on NATO. In the context of global politics, she stated
[00:03:52] that isolationism is not an option and announced the strengthening
[00:03:55] of alliances with a proposal that Canada become the first associated
[00:03:59] member. Of the European Union. But above all, dear
[00:04:03] Mark,
[00:04:06] Europe and Canada believe in
[00:04:07] democracy.
[00:04:10] We believe that power does not belong to the strongest,
[00:04:13] the richest, the loudest, but to all of us. Democracies
[00:04:17] can choose with whom they will
[00:04:18] cooperate.
[00:04:24] That is why we are joining
[00:04:25] forces of our own free will.
[00:04:28] After that, we move on to the actual plan. is for the future. Our goal is
[00:04:31] to create a common space for prosperity and economic
[00:04:34] security. We will work on intelligent manufacturing,
[00:04:37] we will establish a technological alliance, we will integrate defense
[00:04:41] industrial bases, the Arctic will become our main
[00:04:45] common project, we will cooperate in the areas of
[00:04:48] energy, critical minerals, batteries, artificial
[00:04:51] intelligence, quantum technology, cyber and
[00:04:54] economic security. Our partnership is not aimed against
[00:04:58] anyone, but strives for strength through
[00:05:01] unity. We want to maximally
[00:05:04] strengthen
[00:05:08] missing under the rubble and our relationship with Canada. Dear Mark, I said we urgently need to redefine our
[00:05:12] partnership,
[00:05:15] so I would like us to together open the doors
[00:05:18] for Canada to become the first associated
[00:05:22] member of the European
[00:05:23] Union.
[00:05:27] I was horrified by the images of last week's funeral
[00:05:30] of Ratko Mladić in
[00:05:32] Belgrade.
[00:05:51] He committed the cruelest crimes against
[00:05:54] humanity.
[00:05:57] There is simply no place in the European Union for glorifying war criminals.
[00:06:11] All victims of the wars of the former Yugoslavia deserve to be remembered
[00:06:14] and all their families deserve our
[00:06:18] sympathy,
[00:06:22] because that is what we as a union stand for: truth,
[00:06:26] justice, respect for our
[00:06:28] values.
[00:06:35] A lot has been said, but little concrete, stated foreign policy
[00:06:38] analyst Mirjana Rakić on our New Day.
[00:06:44] "She used a lot of 'we
[00:06:47] need', 'we will', but how, in what timeframe,
[00:06:51] what are the deadlines? New alliances are being formed, an alliance
[00:06:55] for electricity, an alliance for artificial
[00:06:59] intelligence. The most interesting to me seems to be this
[00:07:02] European security alliance where in a way a
[00:07:05] counterbalance to
[00:07:08] NATO is being created."
[00:07:17] German Chancellor Friedrich Merz canceled his trip to the United
[00:07:21] Nations General Assembly in New York, remaining in Berlin for key party
[00:07:26] a time of great pressure after the heavy defeat of the conservatives
[00:07:29] in Saxony-Anhalt. New polls show that the right-wing
[00:07:33] Alternative for Germany leads at the national level with
[00:07:37] a record 30% support, while the
[00:07:40] CDU-CSU bloc has fallen to 20%. The upcoming
[00:07:43] state elections in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern speculation is already rife about a possible change of government leadership.
[00:07:46] on September 20 will be a new test for Merz, while in
[00:07:50] public
[00:07:58] We are an elected government. We are elected for four years. I
[00:08:02] am elected for four years and I want us to use these four years
[00:08:06] to lead the country out of this difficult phase.
[00:08:08] The American war against Iran has so far
[00:08:17] cost 38 billion
[00:08:21] dollars, with estimates that monthly costs will increase by three billion
[00:08:24] dollars, the Congressional Budget Office announced. The conflict has
[00:08:28] depleted ammunition supplies, caused an increase in energy
[00:08:31] prices, which could increase inflation by
[00:08:34] 0.5% in the first three months of next year. While the White
[00:08:38] House and Pentagon claim that the military has sufficient resources for all
[00:08:41] objectives, the US House of Representatives has voted for
[00:08:44] a resolution to end the conflict for the third time, a decision that comes before the midterm
[00:08:48] elections, and voters are expressing discontent over rising fuel prices
[00:08:52] caused by the blockade of the Strait of
[00:08:53] Hormuz.
[00:09:02] Saudi Arabian air defense intercepted a Houthi drone near
[00:09:05] Mecca, which is the first attempted attack on this city since
[00:09:08] 2017. Due to security risks, the US Embassy
[00:09:11] warned its citizens to avoid the border area with
[00:09:15] Yemen. Due to damage to the pipeline to the Red Sea in
[00:09:18] drone attacks, Saudi Arabia reduced oil deliveries to
[00:09:22] Europe. This caused an increase in oil prices, so European companies
[00:09:25] are forced to seek alternative sources of
[00:09:28] supply.
[00:09:34] The armed forces of Yemen will continue to protect the airspace of our country
[00:09:37] and preserve its sovereignty from any aggression or violation by all
[00:09:41] available means. And the sky of Yemen will not be violated, if
[00:09:45] God
[00:09:45] wills.
[00:09:52] At least 20 Palestinians, including five children, died and
[00:09:56] 25 were injured in the collapse of a 600-story building in
[00:09:59] Gaza City. The building, previously damaged in Israeli attacks,
[00:10:02] served as a shelter for more than 60 displaced persons.
[00:10:06] Rescue teams are trying to reach those trapped
[00:10:09] under the rubble, but their work is hampered by the lack of heavy
[00:10:13] machinery. Authorities in Gaza state that about
[00:10:15] 8,500 people across the strip are still
[00:10:21] call on the international community for urgent intervention and the lifting of the blockade.
[00:10:26] and here we have deployed all our teams
[00:10:30] uh that are working on the debris rubble removal uh to
[00:10:33] support uh to support these families uh
[00:10:37] situation as you see is tragic because we don't have the equipment and
[00:10:40] machinery that is needed so there are actually
[00:10:44] people that are digging uh with their bare
[00:10:47] hands. We need
[00:10:50] to prepare there are approximately 400
[00:10:53] buildings at risk of collapse and we know that these
[00:10:56] buildings will collapse, especially now with the upcoming
[00:11:00] winter. We need
[00:11:03] support, most importantly with
[00:11:05] machinery, equipment, among others also
[00:11:09] to our colleagues here, they don't have oil
[00:11:12] and spare parts to continue and to work with all the
[00:11:16] equipment that is still in Gaza. We are running
[00:11:20] against time, this is a tragedy within a larger
[00:11:24] tragedy.
[00:11:26] And it is important that we are all coming together as international
[00:11:30] community to prevent and save
[00:11:32] lives.
[00:11:40] That's all for this edition of Global. The latest world news is, as always, on
[00:11:44] our web portals and social networks. Goodbye until
[00:11:47] tomorrow.
[00:11:55] has unmatched power.
[00:12:42] Heather was um uh the mad mad hatter of the
[00:12:46] family to be honest, she was the one that got up to mischief, Susanna's
[00:12:50] sister was the sensible one, um, but yeah,
[00:12:53] she was a lively, lively, fun loving little
[00:12:56] girl um that you know would
[00:12:59] always make us all laugh and fall about and would
[00:13:03] be up to mischief whenever the opportunity arose, not bad
[00:13:06] mischief, but enough to you know
[00:13:09] to keep you on your toes, yeah, yeah, yeah. And
[00:13:13] as any girl her age is encouraged to
[00:13:16] be should be, she was active, she liked being outdoors, yeah,
[00:13:20] and she did that, a lot of your photographs and
[00:13:24] memories of her. She loved the beach, she loved the beach, she loved being
[00:13:27] outdoors, yeah, she collected hundreds and hundreds of shells
[00:13:30] and we had to keep them all and and it was
[00:13:34] only she could only collect them if she promised to return some
[00:13:38] and only take few home, um, but of course you never got to
[00:13:42] choose. It was this family trip to Devon that that changed
[00:13:45] the course of your family's life and ultimately led to the end of
[00:13:49] Heather's. Can you talk to me about what happened that day, because it was an ordinary family trip to the
[00:13:53] beach, yeah, yeah, she...
[00:13:55] she was enjoying herself having lots of fun and we were going to go for a walk on the
[00:13:58] evening and um previously in the
[00:14:02] day we'd done the same walk along the seafront along the
[00:14:06] path um and that's where she trod in that uh the
[00:14:09] the water from the combined sewage overflow. We carried on the
[00:14:13] day she played on the beach did normal things but then
[00:14:16] in the evening when we went for our evening walk, uh she started
[00:14:20] she suddenly became unwell
[00:14:23] um and and became quite distressed. Uh
[00:14:27] so we got her back to the chalet and did what
[00:14:30] any parent would do and go, you got to be sickness and diarrhea, you can't have
[00:14:34] anything eat or drink, you'll be better soon, don't worry about it, I'll stay
[00:14:38] with you dad and Suzanne will go
[00:14:40] out. Um, but she she didn't
[00:14:44] she wasn't getting better. Um so we took her to the
[00:14:48] chemist. Chemist prescribed her hyalite, you know, sickness and
[00:14:51] same, you know, every every parent's journey with a child
[00:14:55] that's got, you know, sickness and diarrhea.
[00:14:57] Um, but then as things progressed she started to
[00:15:00] bleed and that's when we went back to the doctors and that's when we were rushed to
[00:15:04] casualty. Um and everything you saw in Dirty Business
[00:15:08] is what happened, um which is the the Channel 4
[00:15:11] series, yeah. Based on your
[00:15:15] family's experience and exploring the state of the
[00:15:18] UK waters and the the industry involved in it.
[00:15:21] Southwest Water carried out investigations at the time
[00:15:25] um, despite formal investigations, no cause for the outbreak was
[00:15:28] identified. Um, the inquest documentation confirming that no
[00:15:32] definitive source of infection was established, and the circumstances Southwest
[00:15:35] Water say of waste water, infrastructure regulation in the late
[00:15:38] 1990s is very different from today and since then there has
[00:15:42] been significant investment. However, can I just say
[00:15:46] something? Yeah, you can. At the time it took them
[00:15:49] 30 days to take samples from the water
[00:15:53] in the area, and we're always told that if there's a sewage spillage
[00:15:57] into the sea, 48 hours waiting to see, but
[00:16:00] they did not, they assumed at the time, they completely assumed
[00:16:04] it was from food, and when they drew a blank,
[00:16:08] that's when they started looking at the environment. When you think about it,
[00:16:12] Heather died back in 1999 and water
[00:16:15] companies say, you know, we're in a very different place to to where
[00:16:19] we were in the 1990s, but are
[00:16:21] we that? Well, that's the thing. I mean, you went
[00:16:24] to Westminster with Surfers Against Sewage
[00:16:28] last week with some very stark statistics
[00:16:32] from the summer period. Um, also
[00:16:36] with personal stories. Families this summer, there was a young girl called
[00:16:39] Keeva, eight years old, she became seriously ill after swimming at
[00:16:43] Avon Beach in Dorset, again a designated bathing water
[00:16:47] site awarded excellent. She swallowed
[00:16:50] seawater while swimming at her local beach and was
[00:16:53] hospitalized afterwards. What is it like for you to see
[00:16:56] this happening up and down the
[00:16:59] country
[00:17:01] repeatedly? What is it like for you as a family who have lost a
[00:17:05] daughter? It's a mixture, there's
[00:17:08] anger,
[00:17:10] real anger, but also there's a
[00:17:14] deep sadness, because when I had
[00:17:17] my meeting with the Secretary of State and the Secretary for Water, the
[00:17:21] Minister for Water, sorry, I said to them really clearly,
[00:17:25] I am not going to stop until something
[00:17:29] changes, because I cannot allow this to
[00:17:32] happen to another child and another family, I
[00:17:36] can't. 'Cause it's horrific and you
[00:17:39] can't, you can't ignore the fact that this is a public health
[00:17:43] crisis, the the sewage system, its
[00:17:47] primary function is to protect public health, and
[00:17:50] it's not doing that, and so
[00:17:53] I just cannot understand why there are all these people in
[00:17:57] power, all these people that have the authority, they must have
[00:18:01] children, they must have families, they must
[00:18:04] feel, they must understand.
[00:18:08] And yet they continue to do the
[00:18:11] same things over and over again, such as discharging
[00:18:14] sewage into bathing water. Why would you do that?
[00:18:17] Why would you run the risk on your
[00:18:20] watch, the possibility of another death? Why
[00:18:24] would you do that? Final question, Julie, um, water
[00:18:27] safety became a mandatory part of the curriculum in the
[00:18:30] UK in schools to do with water safety, we
[00:18:33] had an unprecedented number of deaths this year from people getting into
[00:18:37] difficulty open water swimming, it didn't include
[00:18:40] water quality. We know that that does
[00:18:43] get taught as part of geography lessons,
[00:18:47] but in your case you actually brought out a guide with the charity Surfers Against
[00:18:50] Sewage to make people aware, because that's the thing, people
[00:18:54] go to the seaside and they don't always have an app to
[00:18:57] check what the quality of water is like, but you want to
[00:19:00] educate young people, because while they're perhaps not being
[00:19:04] looked after by the state or water companies, they need to look after them.
[00:19:09] Well the people that are taking them on the trips, doing the risk assessments,
[00:19:13] doing a full risk assessment, looking at water quality, including that in
[00:19:17] the risk assessment, and also making children aware. I mean
[00:19:20] how many, I mean I know I because I used to work in education, if kids
[00:19:24] got dirty, just rinse your hands in the water when you're on an outdoor ed, just give your hands
[00:19:28] and it's like, now that's not the case, that is not a safe
[00:19:32] place to actually make sure you're clean, you know, use some wet
[00:19:35] wipes, use antibac, use some...
[00:19:37] don't touch your [unclear], you know, all that kind of basic stuff. Don't touch
[00:19:41] yours, wash your hands before eating, hygiene,
[00:19:45] think of the water as potentially contaminated, don't
[00:19:48] assume it's not, 'cause we can't
[00:19:51] assume that the water companies, the environmental
[00:19:55] agency, the government are looking after us at the
[00:19:58] moment, they aren't, so we have to protect ourselves
[00:20:01] and that's my big message at the moment
[00:20:05] is don't assume, take care. Look after your children,
[00:20:09] keep them safe. The water isn't safe.
[00:20:52] Let's accustom the youth to good, everything depends
[00:20:55] on it. And what does it mean to me to be
[00:20:58] a hero?
[00:21:01] To help someone who cannot help themselves.
[00:21:04] The youngest members of the volunteer fire brigade from
[00:21:07] Petrovaradin during the New Year holidays did
[00:21:11] a humane and noble deed for their
[00:21:12] peers. With the help of older members of the
[00:21:16] association, they managed to brighten the holidays for children from socially
[00:21:20] disadvantaged families in Petrovaradin. The first
[00:21:23] action, "Little Firefighters with Love", was conceived in such
[00:21:27] a way that we use their free
[00:21:30] time for them to come here and for them to engage in
[00:21:33] some artistic work which uh to
[00:21:37] create certain works uh whether fine art or
[00:21:40] models cookies
[00:21:43] some modeling things which will then be sold at
[00:21:47] a sales exhibition and funds collected for... the purchase
[00:21:50] of New Year's packages for socially disadvantaged children of Petrovaradin. This year we
[00:21:54] collected funds for approximately 40
[00:21:56] packages, which is a quite
[00:22:00] decent number for our conditions. During this
[00:22:04] action, the children socialized, developed creativity, learned how
[00:22:07] important teamwork is and how much they can contribute to
[00:22:11] help someone.
[00:22:14] Last year they came up with the idea, since during the winter they
[00:22:17] socialize, then they worked. This. And they drew
[00:22:20] and so the children decided to organize a humanitarian action
[00:22:24] to help other children who are not
[00:22:27] able to have Santa Claus come to their door
[00:22:30] and personally deliver packages. So I helped
[00:22:34] with this, I worked with the children and
[00:22:37] also helped with the models, so we
[00:22:40] made figures out of dough and they drew, and
[00:22:44] so I helped them a little, socialized with them, and
[00:22:47] this rejuvenated me even
[00:22:50] more.
[00:22:53] The youngest members of the association learned an important life lesson through
[00:22:56] this action: how to be a good
[00:22:59] person. By their example, they showed
[00:23:03] their peers, but also adults, how with good
[00:23:06] will and a little effort we can help
[00:23:09] someone a lot. The winter period comes,
[00:23:12] so children go to school, then it's cold and they don't socialize. Now, so that they don't
[00:23:16] hang out wherever, in corners. A little on
[00:23:20] the street here, let's get them interested
[00:23:23] in something, teach them to be socially
[00:23:27] useful. If they are
[00:23:30] useful to society, they will be useful to themselves, to themselves and
[00:23:33] to society. We grew up with
[00:23:36] some shows like Branko Kockica,
[00:23:38] so we learned some
[00:23:42] values. So let's pass on the same
[00:23:45] values to those children today, to be good
[00:23:49] people. After the sales exhibition, the second
[00:23:53] part of the action followed. Santa Claus went in a fire truck from
[00:23:56] address to address, distributing packages, and this part
[00:24:00] of the action the children left to their older colleagues from
[00:24:03] the volunteer fire brigade. Thus, the
[00:24:05] main goal was achieved through joint cooperation. To make the
[00:24:09] youngest happy for the holidays. I first
[00:24:12] drew a
[00:24:15] drawing of firefighters coming to put out a fire
[00:24:18] from a house. "Then my sister scribbled on it,
[00:24:22] then our dad printed
[00:24:24] something and I colored. Then I drew
[00:24:28] drawings and
[00:24:30] I made buildings and a hospital. It was nice and
[00:24:34] fun. For me, being a hero means helping
[00:24:37] everyone who needs some
[00:24:40] help.
[00:24:42] Good deeds must not go unnoticed.
[00:24:46] Come forward and present your
[00:24:48] hero. Share with us the good in people.
