[00:00:04] of
[00:00:10] of Tehran says Iran and Oman have agreed a route through the straight of
[00:00:14] Homus, provided third parties stay
[00:00:16] out. Hello, welcome to TRT World,
[00:00:20] live from Istanbul, I'm Hazim Seeker, also head on the
[00:00:23] program, Israeli forces resume military
[00:00:26] of strikes on southern Lebanon, even though delegates from both
[00:00:30] sides are in Rome talking
[00:00:52] it has reached an agreement with Oman a route for ships
[00:00:55] transiting the straight of Homus and is in the final stages of
[00:01:00] preparing a joint announcement, but Tehran has also warned the
[00:01:04] agreement does not guarantee safe passage through the straight due to the
[00:01:07] US naval blockade. Officials in Washington had hoped in agreement
[00:01:11] to open the straight would happen this week. Iran's deputy foreign
[00:01:15] minister says details on the deal with oman are being
[00:01:18] finalized.
[00:01:22] I can say that the latest situation is that almost all
[00:01:25] of the topics are under
[00:01:27] of discussion, of the map, the transit roots.
[00:01:29] entering and exiting of maritime traffic and those
[00:01:33] by literal site agreements with oman, because it's not just
[00:01:37] map, these fundamental agreements with Oman have been mostly
[00:01:40] completed, meaning we have made significant progress in our
[00:01:44] discussions with Oman, and this progress is on the verge of being
[00:01:49] of finalized. has the latest on those
[00:01:53] talks from the Iranian capital? Iranian
[00:01:57] officials are very... optimistic,
[00:02:01] they say that the
[00:02:02] a progress has been significant, they're positive about
[00:02:06] the the negotiations ongoing negotiations between
[00:02:09] Iran and Oman, of course Iranians say,
[00:02:13] Iranians say that talks have not concluded as
[00:02:16] of yet, but talks are very close to
[00:02:20] successful conclusion, as said by Iran's foreign
[00:02:24] ministry spokes person Ismail bagai as well as deputy
[00:02:28] foreign minister. of Iran Kazem
[00:02:31] of Gharib Ababadi, well basically basically Iran and Oman are
[00:02:35] designating two roots, inbound lane
[00:02:39] in the north
[00:02:40] of the straight of Formus, completely in Iranian
[00:02:43] territorial waters and an outbound root in southern street of
[00:02:47] Ormus close to Omani coastal
[00:02:50] waters. Report suggest that Iran is going to have
[00:02:54] full control over the northern lane and half
[00:02:57] control over the southern. lane Iran said
[00:03:01] that the previous roots in the straight of
[00:03:04] arms did not guarantee its national security and
[00:03:08] harmed this national security
[00:03:10] of because Iran argues that the United States has used the straight
[00:03:14] for mouse for military purposes in the past,
[00:03:18] these two inbound and outbound
[00:03:22] lanes are temporary, they will be valid for about two to four months
[00:03:26] and then after that a permanent median lane.
[00:03:30] will be designated and announced by Iran and Oman, so we are
[00:03:33] waiting for the talks to be finalized and for Iran
[00:03:37] and Oman to issue a joint statement about the
[00:03:41] future administration
[00:03:42] of the state of hermus. President
[00:03:46] Trump says talks with Iran are still going on despite Tehran earlier
[00:03:50] denying holding direct negotiations with the
[00:03:53] US. I'd rather make
[00:03:56] deal because I don't want to kill people, I do not. want to
[00:04:00] kill people, but at some point we're going
[00:04:02] in to, we had, we were, we were set for the biggest
[00:04:06] attack of any attack, and we've hit them very hard
[00:04:10] for the last few months, but we were, we were all set for the
[00:04:14] biggest attack since World War II, and they called me,
[00:04:18] and they said, please don't do it, let's talk, and then they don't, they said, we never said
[00:04:22] that,
[00:04:23] of you know what, the fake news knows they did say that, but we are talking,
[00:04:27] let's see what happens. Earlier I spoke to
[00:04:31] Craig Boswell in Washington DC.
[00:04:33] He says
[00:04:33] the momentum is moving towards some kind of
[00:04:37] of agreement. The US president has in the last 24 hours
[00:04:41] been more than optimistic about this. In fact, it was less than 24 hours ago.
[00:04:45] Weshi said, we should know within 48 hours whether this deal has been
[00:04:49] struck, saying it is very close. Uh, we've had uh, you played the clip
[00:04:53] that uh,
[00:04:53] of most
[00:04:53] of the framework deal has been worked out, but the
[00:04:57] administration falls into kind of two camps here, right? hope and
[00:05:00] concern, there is hope that this this gets resolved, and there's
[00:05:04] hope that this is something that they
[00:05:06] of can move on from, and Donald Trump can claim a win. there is concerned
[00:05:10] that in this deal there will be be fees that will be charged by Iran,
[00:05:14] something that would be seen as a defeat for US president Donald
[00:05:18] Trump, so that is some, that's the other side they don't want to fall into this, so
[00:05:22] Donald Trump kind
[00:05:23] of standing in two places here, saying that there is deal that is
[00:05:26] imminent, but yet, as you heard in that clip uh, threatening
[00:05:30] those uh, that this is the last chance for Iran to negotiate, or we're going to
[00:05:34] hit them hard, so still holding out the threat while hoping this
[00:05:38] particular part the differences of opinion over the straight of Homus can be worked out
[00:05:42] soon. and back to you, and given the optimistic tone coming from the White
[00:05:46] House about reaching an agreement with Iran, is that confidence
[00:05:49] genuine, or does it appear to be masking deeper concerns
[00:05:53] after previous near misses? uh, that
[00:05:56] is a really, really good question, if we all knew the answer to that,
[00:06:00] but
[00:06:01] it it is, um, it does feel like, and I'll
[00:06:04] caviot this by saying we've been here before, this does feel like the
[00:06:08] momentum is moving towards some type of an agreement on the straight
[00:06:12] of... moves uh so that it does feel like that,
[00:06:16] so this could be the administration really on the face expressing optimism.
[00:06:20] now do they know the details of what's in this framework deal,
[00:06:23] that remains to be seen, so they could be playing their cards close to the
[00:06:27] vest, saying, well, we hope this works out, or they know something and they're just
[00:06:31] not trying to say too much, so
[00:06:33] we don't know, time will certainly tell, Donald Trump has said we'd know within the
[00:06:37] 48 hours what's in this, at least uh, perhaps even
[00:06:41] by Friday, this... earlier this week that we would know by Wednesday, so here we
[00:06:45] are issuing these time frames uh on the straightform moves,
[00:06:49] so they must also feel then that something is moving at least in
[00:06:53] the right
[00:06:53] direction.
[00:07:00] Israel has continued its attacks in southern Lebanon despite
[00:07:03] ongoing peace talks in Rome. The strikes also hit targets
[00:07:07] inside designated pilot zone for the withdrawal of
[00:07:11] Israeli troops. Israel says it is in response to
[00:07:14] ceasefire violations from Hezbollah who are not included in the
[00:07:18] talks. At least one person was killed in the town of
[00:07:21] Tebnin. Israel says two of its soldiers were also killed in a
[00:07:25] landmine explosion. Israel has also
[00:07:29] issued new displacement order for village in southern Lebanon
[00:07:33] which, according to the UN, is the first since the latest ceasefire
[00:07:37] announcement in June. This new order
[00:07:40] comes as displaced families have been cautiously making their way back to their homes in
[00:07:44] southern Lebanon in recent weeks, underscoring how fragile the
[00:07:48] situation remains and the uncertainty that people continue to
[00:07:51] face. hostilities continue to affect civilians in southern
[00:07:54] Lebanon, demolition operations, shelling and other military activity
[00:07:58] are damaging homes, agricultural land and civilian
[00:08:01] infrastructure. Many families are returning to severely
[00:08:05] damaged homes, limited access to essential services,
[00:08:09] economic hardship, and the threat posed by unexpled.
[00:08:12] ordinance, our top diplomats from across the middle
[00:08:16] east and beyond have met in Jordan to discuss the
[00:08:19] situation in occupied East Jerusalem and efforts to
[00:08:23] end Israel's war on Gaza. Turkish foreign minister Hakan
[00:08:27] Fedan was there and said Israel has no genuine commitment to
[00:08:31] peace. Israel, the whole world can now see
[00:08:35] this. Israel has no intention or plan to achieve peace. it is only using every
[00:08:39] platform to advance its own position and its illegal strategy. In
[00:08:43] this context, we have seen Hamas fulfill many of its obligation under the Gaza
[00:08:46] Peace Plan. Israel, on the other hand, has consistently acted as a
[00:08:50] spoiler, the international community, particularly the United States,
[00:08:54] given that this is the Trump peace plan, has invested significant effort in this
[00:08:58] process, yet every time progress has been made, Israel has found another
[00:09:01] excuse, continued killing Palestinian children, bombing hospitals and
[00:09:05] demonstrating that it has no genuine commitment to
[00:09:08] peace. At least eight people have been
[00:09:11] injured. in the occupied west bank where the Israeli army has
[00:09:15] sent reinforcements into the colondia refugee camp, that's
[00:09:19] according to the red creson. the local media had been reporting the Israeli
[00:09:23] army had distributed leafles saying a large scale
[00:09:26] operation was being carried out in the camp. Israeli
[00:09:30] forces have also conducted raids in the town
[00:09:33] of north of occupied east
[00:09:35] Jerusalem. now for years Syria
[00:09:39] skies were largely cut off from the world as sanctions and
[00:09:43] conflict left the country's aviation sector struggling to
[00:09:46] survive, now regional airlines are resuming flights and foreign
[00:09:50] investment is returning. Norkurmush reports now from
[00:09:54] Aleppo international airport.
[00:09:55] Seeing civilian
[00:09:59] aircraft landing and taking off Assyrian airports was
[00:10:03] once almost unimaginable during the years the Assad
[00:10:06] regime, but with many international sanctions now lifted or
[00:10:10] eased and agreements signed with regional carriers, commercial
[00:10:14] flights are gradually returning and reconnecting Syria with the
[00:10:18] region, we came from Austria to
[00:10:21] Turkey and from there to Aleppo, the services were amazing. "I
[00:10:25] was here a couple of months ago as well and I noticed a big
[00:10:28] difference, many things have improved. I spent 12 years
[00:10:32] outside the country and it was always a dream of mine to return with my
[00:10:36] wife. Syria has more than 50 airports and airfields, but
[00:10:40] only three currently handle regular civilian flights, Damascus,
[00:10:44] alipo and derizour. Operations are slowly
[00:10:47] expanding, 13 airlines now fly to Alipo international
[00:10:51] airport alone, which officials say reflects growing regional conf'.
[00:11:04] Those close relations were evident throughout the years the Syrian
[00:11:07] uprising have become even more apparent following the country's
[00:11:11] liberation. More international flight crews are also
[00:11:15] arriving at Syrian airports, something rarely seen during
[00:11:18] the war. It is great
[00:11:22] to see Turkey and Turkish flag carrier operating here.
[00:11:30] It should have happened earlier, but following the recent normalization
[00:11:33] of relations, I believe things will only get better and continue
[00:11:37] improve. Neglect and lack of funding define Syria
[00:11:41] civilian airports under the outside regime. Now the
[00:11:45] new Syrian administration is overhauling the sector with foreign
[00:11:49] investments and expanded fleets and upgrade sticky
[00:11:52] infrastructure. Officials say the effort. This is major step
[00:11:56] towards reconnecting Syria to regional and
[00:11:59] international aviation networks after years of
[00:12:02] isolation. Authorities say the work extends beyond
[00:12:06] restoring flight
[00:12:07] routes.
[00:12:10] Aleppo international airport had become severely
[00:12:13] run down under the administration the outside regime. We have worked to develop the
[00:12:17] infrastructure, modernize outdated facilities and equipment and
[00:12:20] significantly improve operations across the airport. For
[00:12:24] many. Syrians, each new route is more than just restored
[00:12:28] connection. It is another step towards ending the country's
[00:12:31] isolation and reestablishing its place in the
[00:12:35] region. World, Alipo,
[00:12:38] Syria. An audio message passed on
[00:12:42] by former Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasana has drawn
[00:12:46] sharp criticism. She has called for a ban on her awami
[00:12:49] league party to be lifted and says she will return to Bangladesh in
[00:12:53] December, a comment. came on the second anniversary the uprising
[00:12:57] that led to her owster. the Bangladeshi government has repeatedly asked for her
[00:13:01] extradition from India where she fled to after protests
[00:13:05] ended her 20 years in
[00:13:07] power. I'm surprised by the
[00:13:11] intern government's non intervention policy because Shek Hasina is a convicted
[00:13:14] criminal though she is a former prime minister but she was sentenced to death by a court in
[00:13:18] Bangladesh. So allowing such a person to have a public press
[00:13:21] briefing in the capital of India gives us a wrong.
[00:13:55] shirt, Salah has
[00:15:02] now, news feed is
[00:15:02] next,
[00:15:19] hello, i'm lara culture aslan and this is newsfeed, your dolls are what people are
[00:15:23] talking about online? Almost three years after they were killed
[00:15:27] in Israeli strikes in their home in Gaza,
[00:15:30] 112 members the Abu Shariah and Al Hasina
[00:15:33] families have finally been laid to rest, Israel targeted. with their
[00:15:37] residential building in western Gaza,
[00:15:40] over 300 members the two families died, among them
[00:15:44] children, women and people with disabilities. Most their
[00:15:48] bodies remain trapped in the destroyed building. Data from the United
[00:15:51] Nations indicate the 81% of all structures in
[00:15:55] Gaza have been damaged or destroyed and across the Gaza
[00:15:59] strip, thousands remain beneath the ruins. Heavy machinery to
[00:16:03] help with recovery operations only became available in July, but with
[00:16:37] world, only seconds to look away.
[00:16:41] Today, 112 souls returned
[00:16:45] to remind us that the crime does not end
[00:16:49] when the bombing
[00:16:55] sickening that we've normalized
[00:16:59] this too.
[00:17:00] I can't imagine the pain these
[00:17:03] families. This is
[00:17:07] horrific. devastating and
[00:17:09] heartbreaking. Despite an official cease
[00:17:13] fire agreement, Israel's attacks have been stopped, meaning
[00:17:17] Palestinians are being killed a daily basis. On Monday,
[00:17:21] US President Donald Trump's board of peace said the aggression needs to
[00:17:25] end. Turkia, Egypt and Qatar said the Israeli attacks
[00:17:28] were a flagrant violation of international law and international
[00:17:32] humanitarian law. They called on Tel Aviv to comply with its
[00:17:35] commitments under the ceasefire. agreement July 30th, Trump
[00:17:39] announced that
[00:17:40] the board of peace in Hamas came to an agreement for Hamas disarmament, and as soon
[00:17:44] as that announcement was made, violence in the Gaza strip increased as attempt
[00:17:48] to undermine the US Hamas deal. Now from July 30th up until
[00:17:52] yesterday, Israel killed over 30 Palestinians across the Gaza
[00:17:55] strip, and that includes three children and a pregnant mother. Israel has said
[00:17:59] that they have serious concerns with the US Hamas agreement because they want full Hamas
[00:18:03] disarmament before Israel withdraws from Gaza, but as they are saying...
[00:18:07] saying that you have Israeli ministers that are saying that they plan on ethnically cleansing
[00:18:11] gaza and settling it. this past Sunday IDA forces alive 19
[00:18:15] palestinians including a 5-year-old boy. And a senior Israeli minister says that
[00:18:19] strikes are not stopping. It doesn't matter if Hamas agrees to the
[00:18:22] disarmament. In the long run, the Israelis are not going to want to pull out of
[00:18:26] Gaza.
[00:18:27] En gavier called the planet unacceptable, and people like Eli Coen, the Israeli minister for
[00:18:31] energy and infrastructure, say that, well, Israel already controls 70%
[00:18:35] of Gaza, so they might as well take the entire. thing, but this idea
[00:18:39] isn't exclusive to Netanyahu or his Lacut party, naftali
[00:18:42] penat, the former Israeli prime minister, who could very well be the next
[00:18:46] Israeli prime minister, so that he does not want to give the Palestinians
[00:18:50] an inch of land, and Gotdy Eisencott, Netanyahu's
[00:18:54] current biggest competitor says that Netanyahu is being way too soft on
[00:18:57] Gaza. As the suffering in Gaza continues, pro Palestinian
[00:19:01] supporters across the world have continued to push for peace, but
[00:19:05] many demonstrations have faced restrict.
[00:19:43] The video you have just seen was filmed during a trial in Germany.
[00:19:47] The activists are called the um five after targeting an Israeli
[00:19:51] arms manufacturer in the city of Omm. While most people know
[00:19:55] about the British group Palestine Action, their German
[00:19:58] affiliate has remained largely out the spotlight.
[00:20:02] The activists are from the UK, Spain, Ireland and
[00:20:05] Germany. They were arrested. after taking action against Albet
[00:20:09] Systems in September last year, prosecutors have charged them
[00:20:13] under section 129 the German criminal code,
[00:20:16] alleging that Palestine Action Germany is a criminal
[00:20:19] organization. The activists have been held in pre- trial
[00:20:22] detention since then. This case has sparked the debate in Germany
[00:20:26] over how to deal with pro-Palestinian protesters and could set a president
[00:20:30] for future cases. Oh, this is very obviously a show
[00:20:34] trial. They're trying to dissuade direct actions and they're putting the
[00:20:38] whole palestine movement on trial with the five and crisically they're not
[00:20:42] given bail while this is all going a contrast in the same
[00:20:46] courthouse there were people being tried who were involved.
[00:20:50] a fascist coup attempt in Germany, so I have five people
[00:20:54] are in prison for fighting against the genocit in Gaza, there's another
[00:20:57] trial against reisburger who had weapons, who wanted to overthrow
[00:21:01] the government and they're free to go, or out on bail, were arriving
[00:21:05] into the courthouse taxis, are allowed sit beside their legal
[00:21:09] team, whereas in the court for the own five, the
[00:21:13] defendants are behind a glass cage, can't communicate directly with
[00:21:17] their defense team despite repeated pleas to the... that they should be allowed
[00:21:21] do so, these five are accused of property damage, they have
[00:21:25] not hurt a single soul, we have seen over the last almost three years now,
[00:21:29] a complete normalization of massive police
[00:21:33] repression, legal repression and state violence against
[00:21:37] particularly palestine protesters, but also against like
[00:21:40] anti-militarist protesters, this is very obviously case that they are
[00:21:44] trying to really really make an example of so that nobody
[00:21:47] dares follow it, this is the case that does not just
[00:21:51] concern Germans, but it concerns everyone in the EU, and honestly worldwide, because
[00:21:55] Germany is the massive exporter of weapons to other European countries and
[00:21:59] worldwide, hence why the OM5 destroyed a
[00:22:02] weapons company to begin
[00:22:04] with. Linkton has become
[00:22:08] the latest company to wage war against AI. They're targeting that
[00:22:12] low quality, AI generated content that increasingly fills our
[00:22:15] feeds. The platform has introduced a new feature called "seems
[00:22:19] like" ai slop, it lets any user flat posts they believe
[00:22:23] were written by AI. hate AI slop and i think it's
[00:22:27] actually ruining linkedin particularly, not only with image creation
[00:22:31] but also the way that people are just writing posts which is so fake and it's
[00:22:34] horrible. it's very easy to see this linkedin air slop
[00:22:38] button. all you have to do is go find any post on linkedin that you think
[00:22:42] is created with ar slop. press those three dots over there and
[00:22:46] you're going to see that there's a button that says report ar slop. next
[00:22:50] time you see too many bullet points, the word actually used over and over
[00:22:54] again, m- dashes perfect formatting, super verbose
[00:22:58] writing, it's not this, it's that. next time you see those super
[00:23:02] inauthentic AI giveaways, if you don't like it, you can go
[00:23:06] and smash, this seems like AI slop
[00:23:09] button. linkton is not the only company tracking
[00:23:13] AI content and bot activity, and to be fair, they're a bit late to
[00:23:17] the game. other platforms like snapchats and Stack have
[00:23:20] already rolled out tools to help users identify AI generated
[00:23:24] posts. Some startups are also attracting funding to tackle the same
[00:23:28] issue. But like many things on the internet, the way LinkedIn chose to
[00:23:32] address the problem has become a talking point. Well some have
[00:23:35] welcome the move, others say it may not be effective enough.
[00:23:39] So unlike Google creating their EEAT algorithm, LinkedIn is
[00:23:43] now relying on you to report AI slop. Here's why it's
[00:23:47] lazy on LinkedIn's part. Anyone can press. and the button has no
[00:23:51] reasoning to tell if it actually is AI slop. it goes for human
[00:23:55] review, so what is actually being measured, whether human read a
[00:23:59] post and felt nothing? so LinkedIn also announced that they're revising
[00:24:02] their rewrite this with AI function. yeah, the one that took your post and
[00:24:06] just rewrote it with AI, they're swapping that now for a proof reader,
[00:24:10] so it's a tool that leaves your voice alone and just checks for mistakes.
[00:24:14] so the platform for professional writing is a platform that
[00:24:18] is now using AI just to... The move comes as
[00:24:22] frustration grows over inauthentic content online and there
[00:24:25] is even a name for it. It's called the dead internet
[00:24:29] theory. It's a cultural concept that suggests the internet is now
[00:24:33] largely driven by bots, automated content and artificial
[00:24:36] intelligence rather than by genuine human interaction.
[00:24:40] While this still called a theory, many say it has already become a
[00:24:44] reality. Cloudstruck data suggests automated boats and AI
[00:24:48] agents now account for more than half of web traffic, which means
[00:24:52] a growing share of what you see online could be machine generated
[00:24:56] and not just by bots. It's a bit more difficult to track,
[00:25:00] but more and more people are also benefiting from AI to write
[00:25:03] posts, scripts and even to enhance their
[00:25:06] images. AI is being added to everything,
[00:25:09] even products that don't really need it. Some warn our obsession with
[00:25:13] AI could make it the new plastic. It's everywhere,
[00:25:17] convenient and difficult escape. so are we repeating
[00:25:21] history? 10 years, people are going to look back at
[00:25:24] 2026 the same way that we look back on plastic. when plastic first came out
[00:25:28] it was revolutionary, it was convenient and it was worth it until we found
[00:25:32] out the cost on our bodies, the cost in our environment way too late. plastic
[00:25:36] industry invented recycling to avoid being regulated. AI companies are now making the same
[00:25:40] play and it's working. here is something that no one is connecting. in the early 1980s,
[00:25:43] plastic was about to get banned, cities were passing single-use plastic restrictions,
[00:25:47] public was furious, internal industry documents. came out in litigation show that
[00:25:51] petrochemical company's new recycling was not technically or economically
[00:25:55] viable for most plastics. what they did was fund a campaign called keep
[00:25:58] America beautiful. they invented the litter bug and they put a little recycling triangle. on the
[00:26:02] bottom of every bin, the message was, problem isn't with the industry, it's with you, we're not
[00:26:06] recycling properly, well clearly it worked, the cost of dealing with the plastic shifted from the
[00:26:10] companies to taxpayers, and if you want
[00:26:12] to know how well that's working out, less than 10% of all plastics are
[00:26:16] actually recycled, now look at AI in 2026, in march the white house announced something
[00:26:20] called the rate payer protection plat,
[00:26:22] ai company signed it, but it's
[00:26:23] a voluntary non-binding agreement that they'll pay for their own electricity
[00:26:27] cost, it's a performative gesture that looks like accountability and functions as an
[00:26:31] aliby for not act regulating anything, residential power bills are
[00:26:35] already up $16 to $18 a month in some
[00:26:38] seats, simply due to data demands, and sure even if they do pay for
[00:26:42] all their own electricity, which they don't have to, doesn't account for the amount
[00:26:46] of strain this puts on the environment and city, but it's not our fault, and
[00:26:50] just like plastic shifted the blame to consumers, AI data centers are going to shift the
[00:26:54] blame to you. why are you using AI? when the real answer is, why are we
[00:26:58] building these data centers in the first
[00:26:59] place? Artificial
[00:27:03] intelligence is moving beyond software and into physical form.
[00:27:07] Google Deep Mind has officially announced Gemini Robotics
[00:27:10] 2. It's a new operating system designed to control humanoid robots
[00:27:14] from their toes to their fingertips with a single brain. Robot
[00:27:18] tiny trash bag is actually a bigger breakthrough than our robot doing
[00:27:22] backflip. Google Deep Mind just launched Gemini Robotics 2 and
[00:27:26] here's why that trash bag not is more important than you think. When you see some these
[00:27:30] viral robot demos they're basically just regenerating. and memorize sequence of
[00:27:33] skills,
[00:27:34] and if one small thing changes, they crash, but a trash bag reshapes itself
[00:27:38] every time it's touched, so no two nots are ever the same and there's no
[00:27:42] sequence to memorize. basically, there's two a models that make it possible for this
[00:27:45] robot to figure things out its own, but Gemini Robotics 2 works from feet
[00:27:49] to fingertips, and they're even teaching multiple robots to communicate and work together on
[00:27:53] the same job. the same underlying AI can be adapted to completely
[00:27:57] different robot bodies in just few hours
[00:27:59] and an on-device version can run locally without an... internet
[00:28:02] connection. Imagine
[00:28:06] buying whatever you want, but your bank balance never goes
[00:28:10] down. It still sounds like a dream, but South Koreans have found the
[00:28:13] next best thing, retail therapy minus the price
[00:28:17] tag. So-called dopamin sites recreate the thrill of online
[00:28:21] shopping without spending a single cent, but can
[00:28:24] virtual cards deliver real joy? In Korea right now,
[00:28:28] there's people ordering food cards at 2 a.m. And they're actually not
[00:28:32] putting. in real money, they're filling up the carts and never ordering anything, and
[00:28:36] this is all on purpose. this is the rise of something called dopamine sites in
[00:28:40] korea. so you browse the menus, you add the food, and you actually
[00:28:44] add it to your car, minus the food at the end. another one that's built like smoke break, you
[00:28:47] go on your smoke break, can
[00:28:49] see how many strangers are on break with you, people can leave each other little notes.
[00:28:53] here's what's happening right now, i think that these apps are actually just
[00:28:57] people trying to regulate themselves through these apps, so
[00:29:00] they're less looking for function. and they're more looking for connection and more
[00:29:04] looking for uh to fulfill the sense of need
[00:29:08] for lot belonging, their need for validation, or
[00:29:12] I think in the case the food delivery app, it's just to numb themselves from the
[00:29:16] pain or discomfort of having to deal with the problems. the
[00:29:19] whole phenomena can showcase like how society is feeling and the
[00:29:23] fact that this is on the rise mean people are longing for something and that they
[00:29:27] need these sides to fill it and that maybe doom scrolling or playing video games
[00:29:31] are just not it anymore. people want to feel that sense of familiarity
[00:29:38] on youtube and do subscribe to our channel,

[00:29:55] courage or cowardis, Switzerland is thinking
[00:29:59] again about being neutral.
[00:30:04] "and the country's arms industry wants changes to the law so it can
[00:30:07] export weapons more
[00:30:09] easily.
[00:30:16] what is the price of swiss neutrality? is it helping others
[00:30:20] by being a peacemaker or simply helping
[00:30:24] itself?
[00:30:27] neutrality the swiss say doesn't mean they're not ready to defend
[00:30:31] themselves."
