[00:00:12] Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif will pay a three-day official visit to Saudi Arabia from Hajj. During the visit, [00:00:16] he will meet Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz. [00:00:20] Bilateral relations, regional and global situations will be discussed. A high-level delegation will also accompany him. [00:00:24] This visit of the Prime Minister to Saudi Arabia reflects the long-standing partnership between the two brotherly countries, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. [00:00:27] Iran and Oman have agreed [00:00:42] who talk. [00:01:02] on a new route for the Strait of Hormuz. [00:01:05] Both countries have already agreed on the geographical characteristics [00:01:09] of the maritime route in Hormuz. They are in the final stage of preparing [00:01:12] a joint declaration. If there is no interference from a third party, a joint [00:01:16] declaration will be issued soon. Diplomatic consultations are also [00:01:20] it's a much bigger challenge underway with Pakistan and Qatar, said Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ismail Waqai in a media [00:01:23] briefing. [00:01:27] The process of negotiations with Iran is ongoing. We want to resolve matters through dialogue. [00:01:31] An agreement is a priority. In the first phase, talks will be held on Hormuz and in the second phase, [00:01:35] on Iran's nuclear program. Hormuz will open soon. [00:01:39] otherwise it becomes very difficult. Iran can never acquire nuclear weapons, said US President Donald Trump in a speech at an event [00:01:43] in Las Vegas. [00:01:47] The US conspired to overthrow the Iranian government but failed. The courage and determination [00:01:51] of the Iranian people thwarted the enemy's intentions. Despite all the difficulties, [00:01:55] Iran is today a powerful and dignified country. The US does not want any [00:01:59] capable person to play a leadership role in Iran. The new Supreme Leader has [00:02:02] united and strengthened Iran. Despite economic security challenges, national [00:02:06] unity has made Iran invincible. This was stated by former Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in an [00:02:10] interview with state television. [00:02:10] انٹرویو۔ [00:02:16] 80 years of destruction and I still [00:02:19] believe that this system of 80 years is destroyed. If [00:02:22] the system is running, then how do we reach the work? [00:02:26] and other manufacturing characteristics I did not charge sheet the government, I am part of the government, I will not charge sheet myself. [00:02:30] The thing is that if you have a Prime Minister who works 14-16 hours [00:02:34] and things get better, then [00:02:39] or are not given much scope. there will be a thousand times better results in these circumstances. In this system, whatever we call it, [00:02:43] they have increased the revenue within the FBR so much. [00:02:47] You won the war, diplomatically you went from here to there. So [00:02:51] many reforms have taken place and I still believe that if the Prime [00:02:54] Minister had a good system, [00:02:58] he would have [00:03:01] taken the country forward rapidly and people have a great desire and will continue to have that my relations with him [00:03:05] should be spoiled in any way, but [00:03:08] then what? Look, the government will definitely complete its five years. [00:03:12] I talked about the system being destroyed for 80 years. I am myself [00:03:16] part of the government. The Prime Minister is working for the improvement of the system. The performance of all [00:03:20] ministries should be regularly reviewed. The government of Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif [00:03:24] will complete its five-year constitutional term. Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi talking to journalists [00:03:28] in Islamabad. [00:03:33] Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif decided to make the clean water project more effective. The initial proposal [00:03:37] to levy charges on bottles of clean drinking water was rejected. [00:03:41] Instructions were given to continue free supply. A daily report of the Clean Drinking Water Pilot Project in Charla [00:03:44] was sought. Instructions were given to speed up water filtration plants and bottling projects [00:03:48] across Punjab. Clean water is the right of every citizen. We will ensure its supply to their doorstep, [00:03:52] said Maryam [00:03:52] Nawaz. [00:03:57] On Kashmir Exploitation Day, Kashmiris across the country [00:04:48] Government investment in scientific [00:05:32] This homeland is the reward of the sacrifices of my ancestors. [00:05:35] Respect for the constitution, [00:05:39] dignity of the homeland. [00:06:27] Welcome to China Express. I am Ayaz Aslam. [00:06:30] Viewers, in the historic city of China, artificial intelligence and modern digital [00:06:34] technology have further accelerated the restoration of ancient Chinese pottery. [00:06:38] Watch this report. In the eastern Chinese [00:06:41] province of Jiangxi, [00:06:49] with the help of modern genetic data banks, the restoration process of ancient Chinese pottery has been accelerated. Jingdezhen, known as the [00:06:52] porcelain capital of China, has been famous for ceramic [00:06:56] production for more than 1700 years. Among the nearly 20 million pieces [00:07:00] found from the city's historic kilns are failed imperial [00:07:03] vessels and broken everyday items. [00:07:07] Experts have used artificial intelligence to reassemble [00:07:10] ancient artifacts from more than 15,000 pieces. [00:07:14] Artificial intelligence not only makes this process faster [00:07:18] and more efficient, but also protects delicate ceramic pieces from potential [00:07:22] damage. Jingdezhen also has the world's first ancient [00:07:25] ceramic gene bank, where millions of pieces are being given [00:07:29] unique digital identities. This system stores [00:07:33] data on the shape, color, clay, designs, [00:07:38] of each piece, which will make future [00:07:42] research and restoration easier. [00:07:45] In China, a record increase in foreign tourist arrivals [00:07:49] has been observed this summer. Some are heading to the mountainous regions of China [00:07:53] in search of natural coolness, while others are arriving to see [00:07:56] Chinese cities inspired by films. [00:08:00] During the current summer season in China, there has been a significant [00:08:03] increase in the arrival of foreign tourists. According to the National Immigration Administration, [00:08:07] in the first half of this year, the number of travelers from [00:08:11] abroad to China reached 22.91 million, [00:08:14] which is 20.4 percent [00:08:18] more than last year. Among them, 18.82 [00:08:22] million people traveled to China through visa-free [00:08:25] facility, an increase of 30.6 percent. [00:08:29] Due to the severe heatwave in Europe, a large number of European tourists [00:08:32] are heading to China, where along with modern [00:08:36] facilities, Changbai Mountain, the coastal areas of Dalian, [00:08:40] and Tianmen Mountain provide [00:08:42] natural coolness. In addition, film tourism is also attracting [00:08:46] foreign travelers to China. Inspired by the popular Chinese film Dare You, [00:08:50] tourists from Southeast Asia are visiting filming [00:08:53] locations, especially Chaozhou and Shantou, [00:08:57] among other cities. Huaqiangbei [00:09:00] Electronics in Shenzhen has also become a center of attraction [00:09:04] for foreign tourists. Easy payment procedures and improved [00:09:07] tax refund facilities have made the shopping [00:09:11] experience even easier for foreign tourists. [00:09:14] And in China, new technology and the transformation of traditional industries [00:09:17] along modern lines have further [00:09:25] in new and traditional industries is strengthening the new [00:09:28] drivers of economic growth. From Shenzhen International Airport, [00:09:32] high-value products including artificial intelligence-related hard [00:09:35] drives, advanced chips, and optical modules are being [00:09:39] sent all over the world. In the first half of this year, [00:09:43] the shipment of artificial intelligence-related cargo [00:09:46] more than doubled compared to last year. During the same period, [00:09:50] more than 1.5 billion integrated circuits were produced [00:09:53] on average daily in China. While the artificial intelligence supply chain [00:09:57] has played a significant role in increasing exports. [00:10:00] research and technology is also continuously increasing. While [00:10:04] emerging industries, including the commercial space program, [00:10:07] are transforming new technology into practical production. The successful [00:10:11] sea recovery of the first stage of the Long March 10B rocket [00:10:14] has made significant progress in reusable rocket technology. [00:10:18] Behind this success is the combined technology of advanced [00:10:22] materials and multiple industrial sectors. [00:10:59] Accurate, on time, every time! [00:13:50] sad news that came a few weeks ago, where an incident happened on [00:13:54] Broad Peak in which almost 10 climbers [00:13:57] lost their lives. The search is ongoing. According to today's news, [00:14:01] some more climbers were being searched for. Some more have been found [00:14:05] through rescue operations. I have to tell you the complete [00:14:09] details of all this. But sadly, it is a very [00:14:12] sad news from any sport, especially when you talk about mountaineering [00:14:16] and climbing. So I will definitely say [00:14:19] that these 10 people, including Nirmal [00:14:22] Purja, who is very famous, [00:16:37] in these accidents that are happening, suddenly, like [00:16:41] the weather can come at any time, that [00:16:44] also matters a lot. So it's very sad, it's very [00:16:47] painful, and those whose dead bodies have been found, [00:16:50] their families have their own challenges, and for those [00:16:54] whose bodies have not yet been found, [00:16:57] that you have a hope for life, and with that [00:17:01] hope, you keep trying that maybe some good news [00:17:04] will come. So I think I hope that first of all, the hope is [00:17:08] that maybe they went there somehow and [00:17:11] they are alive, and if not, then it's very important to find the bodies so that [00:17:14] families get closure, [00:17:17] We are also joined by our sports expert and anchor Syed Muhammad [00:17:21] Awais. Thank you very much for joining us. Because you are almost daily [00:17:24] in contact with the team, you are also talking to many people, [00:17:28] even you are in contact with the Alpine Club of Pakistan, so first of all, I will ask you [00:17:32] what is the latest news we have. Ahmad Bhai, the latest news until this morning [00:17:36] was that [00:18:07] their full effort is because whether we talk about GPS, because that navigation system has also [00:18:10] been shut down at that time, and the height at which they were present at that time, [00:18:14] which was their last GPS site, so that is definitely a challenging task [00:18:18] because the weather there, as I said, is very bad. We have to appreciate [00:18:22] the two mountaineers, especially if I talk about Sarbaz and if I talk about Back, [00:18:26] our Pakistani team, the way they led this operation. [00:18:29] The latest was that it's a very big thing that an expedition, [00:18:33] because there are other expeditions as well, you know, on Broad Peak, K2, they are separate. [00:18:37] ہیں [00:24:54] obviously all the responsibility falls on the Pakistan Army to conduct [00:24:57] these high-altitude rescues, and I would also pay tribute to those [00:25:01] pilots, because these are not easy conditions for a [00:25:04] helicopter to fly in. You have to look at the lift, you have to look at the terrain, you have to look at the wind. There are many things in this regard, [00:25:08] so I think we should definitely give them credit, but at the same time, I think we [00:25:12] should now move towards establishing a [00:25:14] department whose entire work is dedicated to rescue, and for that, you need international [00:25:18] expertise and logistics. [00:26:32] Come here and train them properly so that they are certified and [00:26:36] have a type of certification that is recognized [00:27:08] many years ago, carried out the most dangerous operation in the world there. [00:27:12] It was either K2 or Nanga Parbat, I don't remember, where the [00:27:15] helicopter couldn't even land. That was a small [00:27:18] assassination perhaps. The whole world appreciated [00:27:21] that, and you succeeded in rescuing them. [00:27:25] Your boys have done this work. Now, there is only one request to the Pakistan [00:27:29] Government. We are doing a very good job. [00:29:59] Work should be done on this. Well, this concept, as we [00:30:03] talked about, internationally, if you look, specific departments are there for [00:30:06] rescue, and although here, since there was no such development, [00:30:10] Pakistan Army, as I said, deserves a lot of credit, especially that aviation [00:30:14] division that performs all the rescues here. It's not easy in that terrain. So I think [00:30:18] maybe now we need that international expertise, and as you are saying, [00:30:21] Owais also said, Hassan also talked that maybe we should also move [00:30:24] towards having a dedicated rescue department and start bringing in international expertise as well. [00:30:28] Absolutely, Pakistan Army should also play its part in this.
