[00:00:13] of The Saudi Lead Coalition in
[00:00:17] Yemen says more than dozen civilians have been injured in Hoothi
[00:00:21] attacks
[00:00:22] in as the two sides continue to exchange fire
[00:00:24] in a fresh escalation
[00:00:25] of the conflict. Hello and welcome to TRT
[00:00:29] World. from Istanbul, I'm Oscar subakti also ahead on the
[00:00:33] program. Iran's
[00:00:34] of revolutionary
[00:00:35] of guard says an oil tanker has
[00:00:37] of exploded and caught fire after
[00:00:39] of striking mines while sailing through the straight of
[00:00:43] of hormoz. Ukraine's president says his country is ready to deescalate the war
[00:00:47] if
[00:00:47] a Russia
[00:00:50] of of does the same, as Donald
[00:00:51] of
[00:00:53] of of Trump of says both sides have agreed to halt strikes on energy sights. And Africa's richest
[00:00:56] man, Alico Dangote is launching the continent's biggest. ever
[00:01:00] shale offering the public a stake in his massive oil
[00:01:04] refinery in
[00:01:05] Nigeria.
[00:01:13] of
[00:01:17] of
[00:01:19] of
[00:01:24] of The in Saudi Lade Coalition in Yemen says 13
[00:01:28] civilians have been injured. after the ans launched
[00:01:32] ballistic missiles and drones at three Saudi
[00:01:35] a cities on Monday, the attacks come as the Trump administration
[00:01:38] of reportedly rules out direct military support for Saudi Arabia against the
[00:01:42] Houties while
[00:01:44] of offering
[00:01:44] in intelligence assistance instead. At the same time, Riyad is facing
[00:01:48] another challenge, repairing vital oil pipeline damaged
[00:01:52] an attack. Andy Roston has the
[00:01:54] latest. As
[00:01:58] Saudi Arabia. Houti attacks on Monday that
[00:02:02] it says injured over dozen civilians, the Saudis vowed to
[00:02:06] step up their retaliation
[00:02:08] of under the United Nations rules of self-defense, but Riyad will
[00:02:12] not be getting military help from the Trump team, which is rejecting the
[00:02:15] idea of US air strikes on the hooties, and instead
[00:02:19] offering intelligent support. The US did launch a couple
[00:02:23] months of air attacks on the hooties last year and lost some planes
[00:02:27] in the process. The Trump team reportedly does... not want to open up new
[00:02:31] front in the conflict and wants to concentrate on the war with
[00:02:34] Iran, but Washington does paint a picture
[00:02:37] a that the US has
[00:02:39] a of things under control. uh, we're we've
[00:02:41] been in constant contact with the Emiratis, the Saudis and others who are affected in the region,
[00:02:45] so it's something the United States
[00:02:47] of of of administration is very much
[00:02:48] of top of. uh, we've
[00:02:49] a also been engaged in direct conversations with the hoothies
[00:02:53] themselves. it's notable that the
[00:02:55] a US of is me communicating directly with the hooties. presidential
[00:02:58] administrations don't communicate with groups that they consider
[00:03:02] terror organizations. tensions between the Saudis and the Houtis
[00:03:06] escalated in June,
[00:03:08] in when after year's
[00:03:10] of long truce, houti delegation returned to Yemen following the
[00:03:13] funeral of Iran's supreme leader, and the
[00:03:16] Saudis bombed
[00:03:18] of the airport so that the delegation could not land there, they had to
[00:03:22] land in Hodeba instead,
[00:03:26] a and with the encouragement
[00:03:27] of the Iranians, with
[00:03:31] of of intelligence support from the Iran means the Houtis decided that they would retaliate. I think it was really ill advised
[00:03:34] of the Saudis and apparently they were encouraged by the Trump
[00:03:37] administration to interfere with that Houti
[00:03:41] delegation, and the world is beginning to feel the effects
[00:03:44] of of in the recent attack on Saudi
[00:03:46] of Arabia's east-west pipeline, which is believed to
[00:03:50] carry around 5%
[00:03:51] of the global oil supply. Reuters reports that
[00:03:55] of repairs to the pipeline could take five to six weeks. On
[00:03:58] a Monday, oil price. hit $110 a
[00:04:02] of barrel, about $6 below the peak reached during the
[00:04:05] Iran
[00:04:06] of war, and in the U.S., the price of diesel, which powers the shipping
[00:04:09] industry,
[00:04:11] a has a hit of record daily highs for about a week, already
[00:04:14] of fueled by the war in Iran, Ukrainian attacks on Russia,
[00:04:18] and by China limiting its exports to save more oil for
[00:04:21] itself, and
[00:04:22] of now by the conflict between
[00:04:24] of Saudi Arabia and the hootis. Andy Roosechen, TRT
[00:04:28] World.
[00:04:32] has this update from the yemini capital regarding
[00:04:36] the latest attack waged by the houthies and especially what has
[00:04:40] of been mentioned by the houthies military speaks person is mentioned that
[00:04:44] they have waged wide scale large scale
[00:04:47] attack on the airbase of king
[00:04:52] of of khalid in khamis musheit in deep inside territories
[00:04:54] of the he said that this attack is in retaliatory in
[00:04:58] retaliation to the to to nearly 300
[00:05:01] airs that have
[00:05:02] in
[00:05:02] of that
[00:05:04] of have had been waged within just 5 days as he mentioned in his
[00:05:08] pressure so far the recently the
[00:05:11] of yah all also mentioned from their media outlets that the
[00:05:15] the Saudi Arabia fighter jets have weighed uh
[00:05:19] 54 uh rais just in within the 24 last
[00:05:22] 24 hours so the we are witnessing a continuation the
[00:05:26] rais they accuse Saudi Arabiaging these strikes the
[00:05:30] mentioning that the Saudi Arabia is using what he what the what the
[00:05:34] what the hethies military spokesperson
[00:05:37] says the typhoon
[00:05:39] typhoon 15 um fighter jets that
[00:05:43] are being used also they are mentioning the the the time codes or the
[00:05:47] timing the the the the
[00:05:49] the takeoff and the also the return back these fighter jets and from
[00:05:53] where basically they were uh these attacks were
[00:05:57] launched according to these military spokes person so we are witnessing a continuation
[00:06:00] the the the
[00:06:02] war. the united nations says
[00:06:06] fighting in Yemen has forced 125,00 people from
[00:06:10] their homes since the start of September. feeling new wave of
[00:06:13] displacement. hostilities are forcing
[00:06:17] people to flee their homes, driving civilian casualties and putting already
[00:06:21] stretched humanitarian operations under growing pressure. at least 18
[00:06:25] thousand households or 125,00 people have been displaced since the
[00:06:29] start the month. the toll on civilians is increasing. between
[00:06:33] september 1st and today, our colleagues at the UN human rights office have
[00:06:36] verified 40 civilian casualties, eight people killed and 32 others
[00:06:40] injured. women and children account for half of those killed and more than half of
[00:06:44] those injured. Iranian state media
[00:06:48] say a drone strike has hit two Iranian fishing boats leaving several
[00:06:52] people missing. the strike happened near the port of karagan along the straight of
[00:06:56] hormoz. a separate incident, Iran's revolutionary guard says
[00:07:00] an oil tanker exploded and caught fire after striking
[00:07:04] mines in the waterway. the IRGC says the vessel entered what
[00:07:08] it called a prohibited zone, but the US military disputes that
[00:07:11] account. saying the tanker was previously struck by Iran and rendered
[00:07:15] inoperable last month. Ryan Bow is a senior Middle East and North
[00:07:19] Africa analyst at the Risk Assistant Network Exchange. He
[00:07:23] says Washington currently has little incentive escalate its
[00:07:27] attacks on Iran. I would describe it
[00:07:30] as latent uh that is that a single incident like this is
[00:07:34] unlikely to trigger the full-scale spring escalation that we
[00:07:38] saw uh for different reasons. From the American perspective. low
[00:07:42] ammunitions,
[00:07:43] the the Pentagon Inspector General came out public with how low those munitions
[00:07:47] are, and so it's no secret that the Americans have simply run out the
[00:07:51] high-end equipment that they prefer for this kind of war, and the political will in
[00:07:55] Washington is also very low for regional escalation. Plus, we're also
[00:07:59] dealing with all the economic effects the closure of Hormus from higher
[00:08:03] than normal bond rates, to growing inflation worries, to
[00:08:07] higher gas prices. There's a lot of reasons that the US wants to to not seize
[00:08:11] a single moment uh. to return to that escalation that we saw in the
[00:08:14] spring, from the Iranian perspective, it's similar in that they believe that their
[00:08:18] current strategy is paying off against the Americans, undermining their
[00:08:22] economy, undermining their political will, so there's not a strong incentive to
[00:08:26] go back to a full-scale escalation unless they are provoked by the
[00:08:30] Americans first, and so we're that's where we're at is, we're looking at the
[00:08:33] Americans as the first movers for escalation, but at least at the
[00:08:37] moment there's not a strong driver to do so at the scale we saw earlier this
[00:08:41] year. Oil prices are rising as
[00:08:45] concerns grow over possible disruptions to global supplies.
[00:08:48] The international benchmark, Brent Crude has climbed to around
[00:08:52] $107 a barrel, while key Saudi oil
[00:08:55] pipeline is expected to be out of service for weeks after attack
[00:08:59] on Friday. But energy and oil market analyst Gaurav Sharma
[00:09:03] says increased US oil supplies are helping ease some
[00:09:07] the pressure. What we have witnessing is that we
[00:09:11] are sort of back. march, april levels, the height the Iran
[00:09:15] war, and the reason for that is not because there is shortaging of oil in the
[00:09:19] market, but rather both choke points, hormouse and balbel
[00:09:22] mandab straight are causing a lot of consennation in the market. In this part
[00:09:26] the world, Asia, there is lot of reliance on middle eastern
[00:09:30] crude, there is some relief from US oil exports coming to
[00:09:34] this part the world, but there still a lot of anxieties both on oil
[00:09:38] and the natural gas front. The Saudis had pivoted to that pipeline.
[00:09:42] now there is disruption, they were using this critical artery to
[00:09:46] mitigate their exposure to the straight of hermous and there was some
[00:09:49] relief out in Asian markets, the the peak of jet fuel prices
[00:09:53] etc. that we saw in the summer had sort of kind of come down,
[00:09:57] now again tensions back in the market because the sheer volume of
[00:10:01] crude that was being exported from that part the world has started to
[00:10:04] hit the supply chain in Asia. now what we have here
[00:10:08] is is kind of like the paradoxical situations that the Saudi...
[00:10:12] are exporting less, but in fact given the 300 three figure
[00:10:16] oil prices above $100, they are tend
[00:10:19] to sort of pulling in more revenue and that is not
[00:10:23] good for some the economy. means emerging markets out in Asia where
[00:10:27] oil prices are causing a lot of inflationary pressures. i think quite a bit
[00:10:31] the the the risk has been priced in. if you're looking at this
[00:10:34] situation, say say 10 years ago and this was not happening, adjusted for
[00:10:38] inflation, we'd be looking at $200 oil prices. the only, the
[00:10:42] one and only reason that has not happened is because there is lot of
[00:10:46] American light sweet crude which is heading to the high demand
[00:10:50] markets out in Asia, Thailand, where
[00:10:52] I am, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, there we say, so what we're seeing
[00:10:56] here is that US supplies are mitigating some the
[00:11:00] price pressures, but you can only do as much because this is a
[00:11:03] market that trades on sentiment and sentiment light now says
[00:11:07] 20% or fifth the world supplies are being impacted with
[00:11:11] the skirmishes in the middle east. At least four
[00:11:15] people have been killed in the latest wave of Israeli strikes across
[00:11:18] Gaza. Several more Palestinians are being treated in hospital after
[00:11:22] strikes hit a tent camp in Gaza City. as well as areas in
[00:11:26] central and southern Gaza, more than 1,300 Palestinians have been
[00:11:30] killed in Israeli strikes since the cease fire began in
[00:11:33] October. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization says it
[00:11:37] will cut diesel supplies to 20 hospitals and health centers from
[00:11:41] Saturday due to lack of funding. The
[00:11:45] Turkish President Recep Typ Erdovan says Ankara is stepping up its
[00:11:48] role addressing challenges facing the region and the wider Muslim
[00:11:52] world, pointing to rising tensions in He
[00:11:55] says recent defense initiative with Saudi Arabia and
[00:11:59] Pakistan sends a strong message of greater
[00:12:02] regional
[00:12:03] cooperation. For years
[00:12:07] we have said that the world is bigger than five and we will continue to
[00:12:11] say so, but we did not stop there. We also said there a
[00:12:15] more just world is possible. How is it possible? We are currently
[00:12:19] following what is happening in the street of horms and it's not just
[00:12:22] situation in the straight of as you look around.
[00:12:55] came together and took a step. The purpose of this step is for these
[00:12:59] three countries to come together and god-willing send a signal from
[00:13:03] here to the Muslim world. There are positive developments and we will
[00:13:06] achieve this as well. Former Clambia
[00:13:10] University student and pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud
[00:13:14] Khalil has filed a lawsuit against the university and one of its
[00:13:18] deans, allegging discrimination against Palestinian
[00:13:21] students. Halil was arrested by immigration. in
[00:13:25] march 2025 after taking part in protests against
[00:13:29] Israel's war on Gaza. He was detained for
[00:13:32] 104 days. Hil accuses Colombia of laying the
[00:13:36] ground work for the Trump administration to target
[00:13:38] him. We are suing because no
[00:13:42] student, regardless their
[00:13:44] background should go through the
[00:13:47] hell that Colombia put us through over all these
[00:13:51] years. A year and a half since my unlawful detention. they
[00:13:55] barred me from campus, the only time they emailed us
[00:13:59] was actually to ask us to leave colombia housing. it is
[00:14:02] time to hold those who discriminate
[00:14:05] against Palestinians
[00:14:06] accountable.
[00:14:21] Ukraine's president vodimir Zelensky says Kiev is ready to take.
[00:14:33] Right now there is also a strong proposal from the United States regarding a
[00:14:37] mutual hot to strikes on critical infrastructure, and if this can
[00:14:40] become the first deescalatory step, stopping Russian strikes
[00:14:44] on our critical infrastructure and hours in response, then Ukraine is
[00:14:48] ready to support deescalation.
[00:14:52] Earlier, US president Donald Trump said Russia. Ukraine have agreed
[00:14:55] to
[00:14:56] a mutual pause on strikes against energy infrastructure, posting on
[00:15:00] his truth social platform, Trump said Ukraine has
[00:15:04] agreed not to hit Russian energy targets, Russia has agreed to do
[00:15:08] likewise. The world's diesel price rise is mostly caused
[00:15:11] by the Russia-Ukraine war, not Iran.
[00:15:15] Peter Dickinson is in Kief. He says Ukraine would likely support to
[00:15:19] cease fire covering energy infrastructure, provided Russia
[00:15:23] agrees to the same terms. has
[00:15:27] actually proposed very similar um partial ceasefires in
[00:15:31] relation to ener energy infrastructure a number of occasions just
[00:15:34] recently again with the most recent time uh 'and each time Russia
[00:15:38] has said, no, we're not interested, we don't want that, um, and has
[00:15:42] remained, quite quite, quite unwilling to cooperate, so it's not clear
[00:15:46] what has changed here, why uh, Russia would suddenly have have decided
[00:15:50] that it would go forward, so at this point I think that the mood in Kieve is very
[00:15:53] much that President Trump was getting a little bit ahead of himself, he
[00:15:57] was jumping the gun so to speak by declaring this done deal as as he
[00:16:01] as he often does, um, we're actually still quite far
[00:16:05] away from acfire, now if the rus'. come forward and saying actually we would
[00:16:09] be interested in this kind of a this kind of deal to have a partial
[00:16:12] ceasefire on specifically on energy infrastructure, the Ukrainians i think
[00:16:16] would definitely want to want to explore that in more detail, as they say
[00:16:20] they they proposed exactly that a number of occasions, but they would be
[00:16:24] looking for some sort of a control mechanism um to avoid what we've seen
[00:16:28] in other cease fires which have happened on over over national holidays in the
[00:16:32] like where both sides have basically accused the other of breaking the ceasefire
[00:16:36] um it's been a rather clear picture
[00:16:38] and and there's been no real progress, so if they were to have proceed with some for ce sort of
[00:16:42] cease fire, it would be very important to have some form of some
[00:16:46] mechanism for monitoring this and enforcing it uh that the
[00:16:49] international community would would need to be involved
[00:16:52] in. Alexander Crawder is a senior
[00:16:55] fellow at the center for European policy analysis. He says the real
[00:16:59] challenge will be holding Moscow to the terms the
[00:17:02] agreement. The Russians will sign
[00:17:05] anything, they sign the... intermediate nuclear uh
[00:17:09] intermediate range nuclear force treaty, the INF treaty, and then
[00:17:13] developed a long range missiles
[00:17:16] and so uh, it would be very difficult to
[00:17:20] hold them to this, um, you know, uh, what,
[00:17:24] what are you going to do if they continue to to uh
[00:17:28] attack Ukrainian infrastructure, wag your finger at them and
[00:17:31] send an aggressively worded paper? well,
[00:17:34] you know, Vladimir Putin keeps... repeating what
[00:17:38] his uh what his goals are and they haven't
[00:17:41] changed uh uh denotsification meaning getting rid
[00:17:45] the Zelinski regime uh no uh
[00:17:49] no NATO no EU uh Russia gets to
[00:17:53] keep the uh the four areas in the
[00:17:56] Donbas uh and Ukraine has
[00:18:00] to uh publicly state that uh
[00:18:04] that Crimea is is part of Russia and so... haven't
[00:18:07] changed their goals from the very beginning, they may
[00:18:11] agree to something to get some pressure off
[00:18:14] uh, but like Zelinski, I'm skeptical that they
[00:18:18] would uh, they would actually cleave to
[00:18:20] deal.
[00:18:28] Turkia has strongly rejected Greece's claims about the events of
[00:18:31] 1922, during the Turkish Great offensive that
[00:18:35] ended the Greek occupation of Western. Anatolia. Ankara says
[00:18:39] Greece is distorting historical facts by linking the deaths and population
[00:18:43] exchange to the Turkish War of Independence. Adding the claims
[00:18:47] ignored the wider historical context and amount to
[00:18:50] deliberate distortion of
[00:18:52] events. We reject the
[00:18:55] unfounded statements by Greek authorities concerning the period when
[00:18:59] Greece was attempting to occupy and invade Anatolia and
[00:19:03] call on Greek officials to act with seriousness and common sense.
[00:19:08] We would like to remind them that during this period Greece carried out
[00:19:11] massacres and destruction against the civilian population in
[00:19:15] Anatolia and that it accepted responsibility for these crimes
[00:19:19] and the payment of compensation pursuent to article
[00:19:22] 59 the treaty of
[00:19:24] Lousanne. Donald Trump is pushing
[00:19:28] back against growing fears over artificial intelligence, calling
[00:19:32] efforts to reign in the technology part of what he describes as
[00:19:36] sick conspiracy. the US president is dismissing
[00:19:39] warnings from tech leaders at companies including anthropic, open
[00:19:43] AI and space x, who
[00:19:45] are calling for greater government oversight
[00:19:47] of AI and warning it could pose an existential threat to
[00:19:51] humanity. from Washington DC, Aren Doolu
[00:19:55] explains why the US administration is so wary of regulating
[00:19:59] the AI industry. While the AI
[00:20:03] companies are concerned about the risks of
[00:20:05] AI, government is weighing the risks of
[00:20:09] AI against competition with China, they are
[00:20:12] arguing that the AI companies are America's great
[00:20:16] strength against their competitor China and that the
[00:20:20] regulations might slow them down
[00:20:22] and similar things were happening previously with
[00:20:26] social media companies right, the government that time wanted to put
[00:20:29] guard rails on them, and that actually escalated
[00:20:33] further
[00:20:34] and they testified in Congress, we saw Mark.
[00:20:38] appear in congress, but this is part the same story.
[00:20:42] one the major reasons america is able to keep its competitive
[00:20:45] advantage against China alive is its
[00:20:48] companies. constantly innovating, it was social
[00:20:52] media companies in the previous decade, and now it's
[00:20:56] AI companies and
[00:20:57] for the government, while there are risks involved, they're
[00:21:00] clearly also keeping in mind the competition with
[00:21:04] China, and they don't want to impede the companies
[00:21:08] and they want to keep the innovation, the pace of innovation
[00:21:11] forward,
[00:21:12] as as the current government, of course, the Republican
[00:21:15] administration, they are they're also historically
[00:21:19] resistant, against guard rails on open
[00:21:22] market competition, so that's currently where
[00:21:26] everything stands with AI, the Trump administration
[00:21:30] is hoping to limit the amount of guard rails
[00:21:34] and hoping to increase the speed of innovation with
[00:21:38] AI companies at the cost of not seeing eye to
[00:21:41] eye with the heads the companies
[00:21:43] themselves. Africa's
[00:21:47] bigger staresale has opened to invest. in Lagos with
[00:21:51] Dangote refinery asking ordinary Nigerians to get behind
[00:21:55] its fundraising drive, there are already signs of strong demand
[00:21:59] with more people expected to apply than there are shares
[00:22:02] available. Hillary Naruka reports. We are making
[00:22:06] history today. The Dangote refinery IPO has opened for subscription on the
[00:22:10] Nigerian exchange, putting one of Africa's biggest industrial
[00:22:14] projects directly in the hands of public market investors.
[00:22:17] The offer is for 4.1 billion. shares at 525
[00:22:21] each, that's 40 cents, potentially
[00:22:25] raising about $1.6 billion dollars. At that
[00:22:28] price, the refinery is being valued at roughly $48 billion
[00:22:32] dollars, but at last week's signing ceremony, Alico
[00:22:36] Dangote said the IPO is about more than raising money to
[00:22:40] double its capacity. What we are trying to do is to make sure
[00:22:43] maj of all these, my our
[00:22:46] drivers, our cooks, our uh... uh,
[00:22:50] you servants, our managers, everybody, they will have an
[00:22:54] opportunity to have a stake in this
[00:22:58] refinally, and sure enough, retail investors have flauded
[00:23:02] investment portals, leading to the crash of no fewer than two
[00:23:05] investment apps. The Nigerian Exchange temporarily
[00:23:09] posted on X just hours after the IPO opened that
[00:23:13] about 400 thousand people had subscribed to billion dollars worth of
[00:23:17] equity, even before the IPO opened for. subscription, the
[00:23:21] Nigerian stock market witnessed bearon with investors pulling
[00:23:25] their money out of other equities waiting to put it in the
[00:23:28] IPO. Before my messages could
[00:23:32] land uh in their
[00:23:35] destinations to some these clients, lot them had already
[00:23:38] peltering has started peltering our accounts with
[00:23:42] payments, you know, they are already dumping
[00:23:45] money, paying you know to
[00:23:49] uh take... part in the IPO. African
[00:23:53] market leaders were well represented at the IPO offer
[00:23:56] presentation, showing how connected to the refinery they
[00:24:00] are. This is Africa's wealth and what I mean is that we as
[00:24:03] Africans we need to roll up our sleeves to make sure that we actually
[00:24:07] release the value that is African
[00:24:11] resources. Langote has become a security
[00:24:14] anchor following the US war on Iran, presenting
[00:24:17] Africa and the rest the world with a... alternative to the Middle
[00:24:21] East. It filled gaps in western Europe and is currently
[00:24:25] negotiating long-term contracts with Ghana, Kenya
[00:24:28] and South Africa. But the big question for investors today
[00:24:32] is whether the offer price of 525 nair, which is
[00:24:36] about 40 cents leaves enough room for the share to
[00:24:39] appreciate when it's eventually trades on the
[00:24:43] NGX. Some analysts have valued the refinery
[00:24:46] substantially higher. An issuing house puts it. equity
[00:24:50] value at about $57 billion dollars, while another
[00:24:54] estimated about 61 billion. For the markets, the
[00:24:58] Dangote IPO is therefore not simply a test of African's
[00:25:01] appetite for shares. It is also a test of whether investors believe
[00:25:05] the refinery can sustain its extraordinary recent
[00:25:09] profitability and justify valuation of about
[00:25:12] $48 billion dollars. Hillary,
[00:25:15] Noruka, TRT World, Lagos.
[00:25:21] Let's take a look at some other stories, we're following: funerals have been
[00:25:24] held for 24 children killed in fire in Bukavu in
[00:25:28] the Eastern Democratic Republic the Congo last Thursday.
[00:25:32] Officials say the blaze started near a school before quickly spreading to
[00:25:36] building where lessons were underway. Some children tried
[00:25:39] escape by jumping from upper floors, while others were trampled
[00:25:43] in the rush to flee the flames. More than 500 homes in the
[00:25:47] surrounding area were also destroyed by the fight.
[00:25:52] Dozens of fire fighters are battling a wildfire that broke out on Monday
[00:25:56] in Saser in Western Spain emergency crews are
[00:26:00] using both ground teams and aircraft. to try to bring the flames under
[00:26:04] control, elsewhere, five fighters are still tackling blazers in Grand
[00:26:08] Canaria and the province of Malaga. Three people have been injured and
[00:26:11] around 50 residents evacuated as the fire
[00:26:14] spread. Flights at Italy's Katania
[00:26:18] airport have been suspended again as Mount Etner continues to spew
[00:26:22] volcanic ash. The aviation alert has been raised from orange to
[00:26:26] red after ash cloud rose to around 4,000 m
[00:26:30] and began drifting south posing. serious risk to
[00:26:33] aircraft engines. Etna is Europe's most active volcano
[00:26:37] and regularly disrupts flights from Kentania, but unusually
[00:26:41] heavy ash emissions this summer have caused repeated
[00:26:44] disruptions for thousands of
[00:26:46] travelers. The race to explore
[00:26:50] the moon is gathering pace and Turkia is stepping up its own lunar
[00:26:54] ambitions. Turkey is preparing to send its first spacecraft
[00:26:58] to the moon where it will study the lunar surface, magnetic field.
[00:27:02] and interaction with solar winds as well as how water forms on earth
[00:27:06] satellite. Turkeys industry and technology minister
[00:27:09] Mehmed says the spacecraft is expected
[00:27:13] to launch in the first months of
[00:27:15] 2027.
[00:27:20] We are determined to make Turkia one the countries that benefits most
[00:27:24] from the scientific, technological and economic opportunities
[00:27:28] offered by space. Today only eight countries have carried out lunar
[00:27:32] missions. With our lunar research program, we aim to become the
[00:27:35] ninth country to do so. Our lunar spacecraft weighing around
[00:27:39] 3.5 tons was produced with more than 80%
[00:27:43] domestic input. We have brought Turkia into the ranks the few
[00:27:47] countries that can design, develop, test and
[00:27:50] successfully operate their own satellites in space. Every
[00:27:54] capability we gain, strengthens our
[00:27:57] confidence.
[00:28:14] Okay, eyes up, everybody, it's bingo time,
[00:28:16] okay, the
[00:28:20] facts and opinions, these people are playing politics with public
[00:28:24] safety, the noise and the nuance, they all collide in the nexus,
[00:28:27] there is nothing benying about illegal human smuggling, we look at the story, how
[00:28:31] it's being told. "who benefits, what others are leaving out,
[00:28:35] why? it's always the elites who ask for it and the ordinary people who pay for it.

[00:30:10] You're watching TRT World, I'm Oscar Sabakti with reminder of our
[00:30:14] main headlines. Yemen's Saudi Lad coalition says 13
[00:30:18] civilians have been injured in missile and drone attacks by the Ansara
[00:30:22] Hutis on three Saudi cities. On Monday, Yemen's army
[00:30:25] said it had struck hoothy positions along the red sea coast.
[00:30:29] Meanwhile, the US vice president says Washington. is concerned that the
[00:30:33] group seized another island near the Bub Almandab
[00:30:37] straight. We've been in contact contact with the
[00:30:40] Emirates, the Saudis and others who are affected in the region, so it's something the
[00:30:44] United States administration is very much top of. Uh, we've also been
[00:30:48] engaged in direct conversations with the hoothies themselves,
[00:30:52] so we actually feel like we are top the
[00:30:55] situation. Iranian state media say a
[00:30:59] drone strike has hit two Iranian fishing boats along the straight of.
[00:31:03] leaving several people missing, a separate incident, Iran's
[00:31:06] revolutionary guard says an oil tanker exploded and caught fire
[00:31:10] after striking mines in the waterway, but the US
[00:31:13] military disputes that... account, saying the tanker was struck by
[00:31:17] Iran and rendered inoperable last
[00:31:19] month. In Gaza, at least four palestinians
[00:31:23] have been killed in the latest wave of Israeli attacks. Several others were
[00:31:27] taken to hospital after strikes hit a tent camp in Gaza City
[00:31:31] as well as areas in central and southern
[00:31:33] Gaza. Ukraine's president Vladimir
[00:31:37] Zelenski says Kiev is ready to take steps towards deescalation,
[00:31:41] but only if Moscow also commits to halting attacks on Ukrainian.
[00:31:45] infrastructure earlier, US president Trump said Russia and
[00:31:48] Ukraine have agreed to a mutual pause on strikes against
[00:31:52] energy sites. Donald Trump has lashed
[00:31:56] out against concerns over artificial intelligence, saying efforts to
[00:32:00] limit the technology are part of what he calls sick
[00:32:03] conspiracy. His comments come after the leaders of three
[00:32:07] major tech companies called
[00:32:09] for the government to have greater oversight of
[00:32:11] AI. And Africa's richest. man has
[00:32:15] launched the continent's biggest share sale with more than 4 billion
[00:32:19] shares in his Nigerian oil refinery now being offered to the
[00:32:22] public. Alico Dangote says the IPO is designed not
[00:32:26] only to raise funds for the refineries expansion, but also to give
[00:32:30] ordinary Nigerians a stake in the
[00:32:32] business. Stay with us. The news
[00:32:36] continues on TRT
[00:32:38] World.
[00:32:50] What is AI? For a long time it felt like something out the
[00:32:54] future, the intelligent supercputer from our favorite
[00:32:57] movies, or the all powerful robots from science fiction.
[00:33:01] Increasingly though, AI is here
[00:33:04] today.
[00:33:07] It's in Chinese car factories and the fields of Indian
[00:33:10] farmers. It's in our natural spaces and across our city
[00:33:14] skaped. From Tuoks to TikTok, from Spotify
[00:33:18] to shopee, from art to agriculture, AI today is as
[00:33:22] ubiquitus as the internet. I've ordered
[00:33:26] some tea and it's going to get delivered by a drone. I'm Aaron Maniam
[00:33:30] and this is raising expectations, a journey through the strategic impacts of
[00:33:34] artificial intelligence or AI for short. Once we collect the data, that's where you will see
[00:33:38] all the magic of AI. It takes you from just understanding consumption to understanding
[00:33:42] trends. When I was in school, I studied. dickens's novel great
[00:33:46] expectations, which explores how the industrial revolution and its
[00:33:49] aftermath transformed victorian England. Today,
[00:33:53] AI poses different kind of revolution, digital,
[00:33:57] automated and with wide reaching consequences. What if I try to use my
[00:34:00] app and scan what's on the menu? There isn't a rosemary chicken sandwich here, you might have
[00:34:04] invented or hallucinated about the rosemary chicken. It's a global
[00:34:08] phenomenon with especially diverse effects in different countries in Asia,
[00:34:12] so it sounds like they feel more independent,
[00:34:14] yes after they use. they get to do lot on their own, you know my
[00:34:17] birthday,
[00:34:18] i don't know your birthday, but i'd love to hear about it if you like to share.
[00:34:22] AI today is speaking a much more human like voice and is part of how
[00:34:26] we see and experience the world. i've missed the train to
[00:34:29] hogwats, what alternatives do i have to get
[00:34:32] there? well, you could always look for send you port key, just be careful what
[00:34:36] you touch, you never know what might be enchanted. this change is unprecedented
[00:34:40] in pace, breath and depth, and it forces us to
[00:34:43] ask: can AI think? does it break
[00:34:47] barriers or build new ones? can AI heal the
[00:34:50] world? what happens to truth, trust and
[00:34:53] agency? join me as i explore how AI is
[00:34:57] reshaping and raising our expectations for the
[00:34:59] future. when i use AI, i use
[00:35:03] it to complement the parts of me or aspects
[00:35:07] of my work that i am not very happy with,
[00:35:11] so a more concrete example is my writing. As
[00:35:15] academic, my writing sometimes tends to be rather dull,
[00:35:19] so I will use AI to, jazz it up, and I will use AI to
[00:35:23] explore phrasing, I will use AI to
[00:35:26] um articulate my
[00:35:29] insights, but not generate
[00:35:32] them.
[00:35:39] AI for meetings 200 points. Today's workshop is really
[00:35:43] about learning how to... stop workplace related
[00:35:46] AI
[00:35:49] and surprise good job 200 points to help supercharge our
[00:35:53] work productivity. in this room there are a group of very special
[00:35:57] people, all the nurse leaders. they actually lead many
[00:36:00] different teams from the inpatient setting to the outpatient
[00:36:04] settings. we just have to talk to the team doctor and then have the discharge plan for home
[00:36:08] medical in specialized area such as the intensive care unit,
[00:36:12] our operating theater nurses, also our nurses, boting
[00:36:15] homecare here at Alexandra Hospital, nurses are using bot
[00:36:19] NUHS, an AI assistant developed by the National University health
[00:36:23] system. Think of it as chat GPT, but trained on
[00:36:27] NUHS's internal workflows and used for day-to-day hospital
[00:36:31] operations, not medical diagnosis. Use Kenver
[00:36:35] ai to design a playful and inviting
[00:36:38] EDM for the nurser's day
[00:36:41] celebration. Whoever got your answer squeeze come to the front? We have,
[00:36:45] we have already, we key in all the requirements and
[00:36:49] then this is what
[00:36:49] we have, this is the first version we can always enhance, but we look it is already very
[00:36:53] fun and fun loving for another's day. Thank you, good job.
[00:36:58] "your output is very much dependent on the command prompt that you provide,
[00:37:01] so do try out and you will be surprised right, what they can
[00:37:05] actually do for you. what if you found
[00:37:08] easiest
[00:37:09] and also hardest about persuading your colleagues to come on board with using
[00:37:13] AI? in today's uh workshop right, um, didn't
[00:37:17] start by teaching them anything at all, i just throw them a
[00:37:20] task through the japathy game, fastest fingers first, that
[00:37:24] faster, that faster, they roughly know..." okay, i
[00:37:28] have this AI software, but they may not have used it. you use the
[00:37:32] AI function, fast right?
[00:37:36] so was able to help them to see how easy it is,
[00:37:39] just with few clicks the button, they are able to get their
[00:37:43] things done as fast or even faster than how they usually do,
[00:37:47] yeah, so i think the easy part is that. can you show your command
[00:37:50] prompt? ah, okay, hang
[00:37:54] on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
[00:37:57] on okay, okay, okay, you want to share again? okay, chill,
[00:38:01] chill, relax, relax, okay, the difficult part is really about
[00:38:05] finding the right time, because there's always priorities, clinical
[00:38:09] priorities, um, on stage, backstage at
[00:38:13] me work and all that, so what i do is in meetings that i
[00:38:17] run, i'll just infuse a little bit of AI here and there to get them
[00:38:20] interested, and they do come forward and ask, hey uh, how did you do
[00:38:24] that? yeah, so that's where i will start to share. What have you
[00:38:28] heard about pair? think chat GBT but designed
[00:38:32] by Gulftech? pair is ai power chatbot developed for Singapore's
[00:38:36] public offices. It helps lighten the load of writing, research and
[00:38:40] routine administrative tasks. Maybe we need to write a paper on
[00:38:44] COVID. With pair, you can actually aggregate
[00:38:47] all related information to help you write your papers. So
[00:38:51] During, what do you think is most promising about the use of AI
[00:38:55] in in Ah? We are. aging population and that
[00:38:59] includes healthcare professionals as well, these healthcare
[00:39:02] professionals can offer their years of wisdom, so I
[00:39:06] think really with AI um we can even
[00:39:09] expand uh or redesign jobs, yeah,
[00:39:13] yeah, to to enhance the career longevity
[00:39:16] out there, top that
[00:39:18] it is really helping us to um desire better
[00:39:22] care and also to enhance and address man power
[00:39:26] sustainability really. so we ask to highlight all the
[00:39:29] positive comments and areas for improvement, then after
[00:39:33] that we ask to break down the result into percentage, then
[00:39:37] after that we ask to tabulate the data into
[00:39:41] a table form. can you imagine in training department right? we
[00:39:45] run so many courses and there are so many data coming in
[00:39:49] hand on heart we may not even be able to have enough time
[00:39:53] to sit down and truly truly look at our data, but we've just few clicks.
[00:39:57] right, we can generate the outputs a lot faster, and you can spend more
[00:40:01] time analyzing and triangulating or validating to see whether the
[00:40:05] data makes sense, and this can actually help
[00:40:08] you to be more effective in your administrative work. which
[00:40:12] these things are the most useful for for all of you? currently like are using lot of
[00:40:16] medice to help to come out with the meeting minutes. yeah, when you finish
[00:40:20] the recording, there is this thing called transcript audio, and then you can
[00:40:24] actually use prompt to generate meeting minutes.
[00:40:27] analysis, i think it's something that we do every day, so with the AI in
[00:40:31] place, it helps us to work out the process and also to make sense on
[00:40:35] what we are monitoring, that helps us to also find the data
[00:40:38] analysis more meaningful. for all of you personally right, what
[00:40:42] are you anxious, worried about, maybe uncertain and and how would you
[00:40:46] deal with that? i'm very much concerned about AI
[00:40:49] dependency, it limits the kind the
[00:40:53] human being to be able to utilize uh
[00:40:57] their... creativity, as health car practitioner we need to be very
[00:41:00] critical about that, because how we deliver care for our patients, it still
[00:41:04] requires lot of that duman connection between people.
[00:41:08] don't forget we are a professional body, we have been trained
[00:41:12] for years with all our professional scientific knowledge, so
[00:41:15] AI should help complement what we do and like
[00:41:19] what you have shared earlier to build a stronger
[00:41:23] narrative uh building or enhancing clarity, but
[00:41:27] it's should never be 100% dependent on
[00:41:30] AI, we really have to know that sweet spot, yeah, to
[00:41:34] ensure that no, it helps us rather than the other way around,
[00:41:38] yeah, AI is evolving? so rapidly and to be quite honest
[00:41:42] i'm not interested with anything that is technology yeah yeah i'm a paper and
[00:41:46] pen person yeah so the one anxiety is
[00:41:50] catching up yeah raising with the AI yeah yeah
[00:41:54] so can ask you how do you think you can keep up growth
[00:41:57] mindset lah because you know that you you have to stay um
[00:42:01] relevant it's really like no choice lah just have to do it
[00:42:05] we have come to the end of today's workshop thank you so much for your participation
[00:42:09] today I hope it has been fun learning and continue
[00:42:12] to spread the knowledge to all your teams. Okay, thank you very
[00:42:16] much. Bye-bye. We often hear worries about whether AI is going
[00:42:20] to substitute for humans. After spending today at Alexandra Hospital,
[00:42:24] I'm not too worried about this. Today we saw nurses using AI in
[00:42:28] ways that required them to still provide background information, to
[00:42:32] provide context, and in fact the AI was prompting them to provide that context
[00:42:36] when it wasn't sufficient. Nurses had to make decisions, they had to make...
[00:42:40] judgemts, they had to make assessments and evaluations in ways that an AI cannot
[00:42:44] do. for all these reasons, i'm not worried that AI is going to substitute for
[00:42:48] human beings. never think for us, thinking is my
[00:42:51] job, don't take it away from me and you cannot compete with
[00:42:55] me. i can connect dots that do not see,
[00:42:59] i cannot connect dots it cannot see. if you think about the
[00:43:02] actual sheer volume, then AI is always going to have on advantage
[00:43:06] over humans, but i think it's a really '
[00:43:10] important thing to remember what it is that humans are
[00:43:13] better at doing than AI, whatever use you
[00:43:17] put of AI has to be initiated by human
[00:43:21] definition of what the problem that you try to solve
[00:43:25] it and that problem definition and formulation and framing is
[00:43:29] very much human led
[00:43:30] activity. whether you're
[00:43:34] 4, 14 or 40, whether you're
[00:43:37] sitting for exams or standing for
[00:44:10] Okay, what it does, it shows us, as teacher, we are
[00:44:14] the main driver of uh our class right,
[00:44:18] our pedagogy of instruction, they've been exploring how
[00:44:21] empower themselves as educators as well as empower their
[00:44:25] students to be better learners. We have one teacher, we have 30 to
[00:44:29] 40 students in class, how do you actually check each and everyone to make sure
[00:44:32] that they have done that? Today some them are gathering in subject groups to look at what they've
[00:44:36] been learning and discuss new possibilities. The system will force. a
[00:44:40] student, they have to show that part in order to gain the credit for the whole
[00:44:44] question. okay, thank
[00:44:46] you guys, thank
[00:44:50] you. self divent learning, looking at the feedback given by AI,
[00:44:54] they can then correct the mistakes themselves, and then if they have more issues like
[00:44:58] them, they can actually approach the teachers for help, but AI can actually help us to
[00:45:01] compliment on teaching this. so you're going to use the AI to generate the
[00:45:05] quiz questions, you you feed it all the content and then it will generate the questions
[00:45:09] for you. yeah, wow, okay, so with the AI
[00:45:13] feedback, we will have to look through it and then see whether it's
[00:45:16] accurate, it's not then we will make
[00:45:20] changes. what exactly did the AI do for you here? the
[00:45:24] system is able to check the students work and give customized feedback
[00:45:27] based on what the student type. i see, benefits of FA match right, is something
[00:45:31] called randomization,
[00:45:33] so if let's say you want to create multiple questions, you actually have to type the question like 10
[00:45:36] times, you just need to set some variable, set some limits. different
[00:45:40] questions, okay, and then you duplicate the same thing like
[00:45:44] 10 times or
[00:45:44] what in one activity, so that they get over again, practiced different
[00:45:47] and numbers over by the same concept, maybe it takes about like five minutes for
[00:45:51] you to create a question, but duplicating the question after that takes maybe 3
[00:45:54] seconds, the hint is a AI based prom that responds
[00:45:58] to the students work, so the mistakes are seen on the system, it it
[00:46:02] generates for us like heat mat you know of responses right, which
[00:46:06] student got which question oh so and you see the whole classes when i going to
[00:46:10] the next time, i know exactly what i going to do, now that i've seen AI
[00:46:14] finding its way into classrooms i want to know how are students
[00:46:17] taking it. now for today i want you to key in your
[00:46:21] response on SLS, if they say four
[00:46:25] marks, need four points, okay? so i want you to
[00:46:29] actually write down the observation and then later on feedback will be
[00:46:33] given to you by the AI. so now let me go through very
[00:46:36] briefly on the practical, on your table you have w.
[00:46:40] x and y for today's lesson, i want my students to practice
[00:46:44] partial exam question, which is mainly on experiments
[00:46:48] involving oxidation reduction, who still remember the color change
[00:46:52] after? reaction: the whole objective is really to
[00:46:55] observe the color change between different chemicals when they are mixed
[00:46:59] together, let's do br excellent
[00:47:02] and also to learn how to test for gases,
[00:47:06] oxygen, what are
[00:47:07] you trying to find out here? oxygen, whether oxygen is
[00:47:10] present or this is my
[00:47:14] first time a science lab since i was 16,
[00:47:17] colorless to brown, putting it into the sls
[00:47:21] already yeah. Okay,
[00:47:23] yes, what I've done for the
[00:47:27] lesson is I've included this AI feature called the short
[00:47:31] answer feedback system, whereby students as they submit their
[00:47:34] work, the AI feedback system can give customized feedback tailored each
[00:47:38] individual student's response, student a sing bet will be different from
[00:47:42] student b depending on the quality their answers, the AI is not telling them the
[00:47:46] full answer, but how they can improve on the answer, where is
[00:47:50] it missing? The next question, you do better. okay, make sure that your answers
[00:47:54] are specific. so in the past when teachers go through the question, we
[00:47:58] tend to like, perhaps you give them the model answer, but what
[00:48:01] students need is really, how can be better? wherever there is bubbling, you must
[00:48:05] write, and every student's improvement is a bit different, so what we are
[00:48:09] seeing here is lot more differentiated instruction, okay, whereby we
[00:48:13] can really catter to individual students learning
[00:48:17] needs and i think that is really very powerful, especially for a bigger class,
[00:48:21] wrong, never mind, It's okay, I think with the use of AI is very low state,
[00:48:25] it's like, okay, I will just try this and see what feedback do I get, is that
[00:48:29] useful for you to know what was right, what was not, yeah, I also kind of enjoy like that
[00:48:33] they encourage you and
[00:48:36] also neat, that's weird, okay, but because there's fire, some
[00:48:40] students are okay with just the help from the AI, but some
[00:48:44] students may need additional help, even after the AI
[00:48:47] feedback, the that still feel hotel must say, with the help of
[00:48:50] technology, I can spend more time. to really support
[00:48:54] students, so for the first one right, that one is a bit difficult you have to
[00:48:58] feel like you were saying it's hot right, yeah no,
[00:49:01] that is when i put
[00:49:02] the frame, but actually the reaction is so that one many
[00:49:05] students
[00:49:08] that sometimes you miss it
[00:49:12] then you know it's okay you just
[00:49:14] learn
[00:49:17] yeah must learn in the diverse class in the
[00:49:21] mix ability we help every student succeed giving them the tools to
[00:49:25] learn a different way and
[00:49:27] the dearly outcome is still achieving as i consolidate the learning as class
[00:49:30] together. i want to actually see right okay what are the common
[00:49:34] errors by the class all right just let
[00:49:37] me generate a while
[00:49:38] this is the analysis most common error some people say
[00:49:42] oxizing agent this is wrong is reducing agent okay yeah
[00:49:46] it turn the kmn04 from purple to colorless okay but some
[00:49:50] of you correctly identify but you did get full marks
[00:49:53] because the key evidence is missing. do all students gain
[00:49:57] equally or do the stronger students actually gain more? through the use
[00:50:01] of air, are they streaking ahead much faster? while weaker students
[00:50:05] actually are less able to to manage? perhaps the more motivator
[00:50:08] students may gain a little bit more because they are more
[00:50:11] self-directed, but think it is a journey. okay, most of
[00:50:14] you, okay, miss the initial color change from
[00:50:18] purple to colorless. doing the experiment is one thing, but writing down the key.
[00:50:22] is another thing, so take note the comments given by the AI, all right, to help
[00:50:26] you with the answers even for the so-called weaker students or less
[00:50:30] motivated students, the question is really how can we uh really help
[00:50:34] them uh embrace this use of technology to help
[00:50:37] themselves okay to be more self-directed
[00:50:40] um so it sounds like it also gives you more time to spend on those students right rather than those who are already
[00:50:44] able to so for these students we will need to have more patient and to
[00:50:48] never give up lah and really to uh think of actech as a
[00:50:52] uh enabler for their growth, the AI will tell you what missing
[00:50:56] information you should be writing, so take note the comments.
[00:51:00] after spending time in Woodlands, I'm struck by simple truth: AI's
[00:51:04] power isn't just in speeding up the strongest performers, it's
[00:51:08] also in revealing who needs support and giving us new ways to offer
[00:51:11] it. when we take this lens beyond the
[00:51:15] classroom, we begin to realize just how endless the
[00:51:18] possibilities can be.
[00:51:21] hello, How are you feeling today? The tree says, "I'm
[00:51:25] experiencing low growth at the moment, which means I'm not feeling my
[00:51:28] best. My current conditions don't seem ideal for
[00:51:31] thriving. This is Tille Henriana, Henry's
[00:51:35] lime. What conditions would you need to grow better?
[00:51:39] Increased humidity, consistent watering and stable temperature. This looks
[00:51:43] like a tree who knows itself really well. So what's going on
[00:51:46] here guys? What have I just experienced? So what you're saying
[00:51:50] is the data, the..." tree coming from the tree sensor,
[00:51:54] so that's collecting things like temperature, humidity, the
[00:51:58] growth over time, as well as the lean angle, and
[00:52:02] that data's going into our platform where it's is
[00:52:05] analyzed
[00:52:06] uh we use AI to extract those insights that you saw there
[00:52:10] um to help you understand how to care for this tree at this
[00:52:13] moment in time right very interesting and how many trees have this
[00:52:17] kind of sensor right here we've got 12 sensors on 12
[00:52:21] trees of different species why did we start doing this good
[00:52:25] question why did we why did we do that uh well
[00:52:29] so these where you see these trees now this is their second home after Chelsea
[00:52:33] flower show so it's kind of like the Oscar. for our industry, it's a
[00:52:37] place where you can showcase innovation, you can bring people
[00:52:40] together, it creates a lot of dialogue, so at chelsea flower
[00:52:44] show uh this garden was really an exploration of
[00:52:48] this technology, sensors, AI, how can these emergent
[00:52:52] technologies be used to help preserve and protect urban trees? this
[00:52:55] session peppers tagged as well if you want to ask it a question as a pepper a question,
[00:52:59] how old are you? urban trees around the world are particularly under
[00:53:03] threat, many urban trees. don't survive beyond 10 years. i'm 15 years
[00:53:07] old, it says i've developed a strong structure and i'm still growing, especially as i
[00:53:11] establish my roots.
[00:53:12] you know, with climate change, with increasing urbanization, with
[00:53:15] pollution, with the stresses that we're putting trees under, we
[00:53:19] thought it was important to experiment with these new technologies.
[00:53:23] working with Avenard and Steven the team to develop a way to
[00:53:27] try and understand more,
[00:53:28] I suppose about how trees are fairing, gather data over a long term and
[00:53:32] provide real useful insights uh to see how we can... Better. What
[00:53:35] is the best thing about being in this urban garden? I enjoy being part of
[00:53:39] of diverse environment where I can provide shade, beauty and habitat for
[00:53:43] various wildlife. And you can ask it non-tree stuff and see how it
[00:53:47] responds. Who is your favorite
[00:53:48] singer? Good question. Ask
[00:53:52] who's the handsomest man in the world? I'm a tree. So I don't have the ability to
[00:53:56] listen to music or personal preferences like favorite singer. How spicy are your
[00:54:00] peppers? I'm a tree, not a gardener. So I don't know
[00:54:04] the precise spice.
[00:54:13] recommend consulting culinary expert, not bad study, you've
[00:54:17] taught it to deflex, very impressed,
[00:54:19] it is a politician, i love it,
[00:54:21] amazing,
[00:54:29] so this where we're standing now is called pigeon triangle, and as you can see this is
[00:54:33] Manchester Piccadity station. you've got traffic all around, but this is
[00:54:37] where the garden, the trees that you saw are going eventually end up
[00:54:41] here, so the idea is that we are uh triling these
[00:54:44] trees in this very harsh urban environment, this will be new threshhold
[00:54:48] to the park, as people arrive from the station they walk through the garden then down into
[00:54:52] the park, so it brings it further out into the city, so we're hitting there
[00:54:56] basically, yeah, so tell a bit more about
[00:55:00] how your vision for this part is going to transform with the technology that
[00:55:04] we're using?
[00:55:04] we're going
[00:55:05] to apply
[00:55:07] the same types of technology we use the Chelsea flower show,
[00:55:10] but um lot more mature and lot more
[00:55:13] extensive in terms the kinds of data we can capture, so for example
[00:55:17] these this tree here, you can see the one with the kind of rusty orange leaves, the
[00:55:21] team here have been really struggling to know what's wrong with it, why it's not
[00:55:25] thriving, so having more information, having more um
[00:55:29] kind of advanced warning system, well just give clear picture to the team what's actually
[00:55:32] happening to that tree and then they can't take action with actual data to back
[00:55:36] it up rather than just guessw. well interesting thing is when you're building
[00:55:40] this kind of park in nature it'll take decades to self
[00:55:44] selecting what species works better. here we're trying to make the
[00:55:48] succession really really quick a such a like compressed time. so having
[00:55:52] that information you have better understanding of what species works in this
[00:55:55] location because until you really plan something you don't know
[00:55:59] 100% of what works and how it works and each trees have
[00:56:02] different conditions when
[00:56:03] they arrive to site. 'shifting gear slightly, what is
[00:56:07] the vision for how the public will interact with nature
[00:56:11] in this space? yeah, so it's not all about the maintaining and caring the
[00:56:15] trees right, it's about how the public perceives the technology and can
[00:56:19] benefit and enjoy it, so lot of what we're doing is
[00:56:23] thinking about from
[00:56:25] a stem educational experiential
[00:56:28] perspective, people can come into the park, interact with the
[00:56:32] trees, using things like augmented reality'. they can
[00:56:36] really engage, so tapping into what we saw at the
[00:56:39] Chelsea flowers show with tree talkk, really building on that as a way
[00:56:43] to use their imagination, interrogate these
[00:56:46] trees, find out more about the environment, find out
[00:56:50] about things like the bio indicators, the pollinators and
[00:56:54] how they can benefit the environment, the sensors that we're using
[00:56:58] they're subtle, they'll be out of view, you can opt in or
[00:57:01] out, you can enjoy it, you can get that extra...
[00:57:05] level of knowledge and experience by using technology
[00:57:09] if you want, or you can just sit around and enjoy nature.
[00:57:12] technology there can add another layer, it doesn't necessarily take away from the
[00:57:16] experience of being in that... landscape, as Steve said, you can opt in or you can opt
[00:57:20] out. I love this, there's a line in uh Shakespeare's as you like it where he describes
[00:57:24] the Forest of Arden and he says that there are books in the running Brooks and a
[00:57:28] lesson in every tree, and it feels like the sensors can help us to do
[00:57:31] that. In 1959, the British scientist
[00:57:35] and writer CP Snow, Charles Percy Snow, gave a lecture
[00:57:39] titled the two cultures. The two cultures he identified with the culture
[00:57:43] of science and technology on the one hand and humanities and the social
[00:57:47] sciences. on the other, and he argued that these two cultures being
[00:57:50] separated was really impeding how well we could address some
[00:57:54] the most pressing challenges facing humanity. this
[00:57:58] argument that CP Snow made is even more important today as we
[00:58:02] deal with AI, because AI is highlighting quite how inter and
[00:58:05] multidisciplinary so many the challenges of humanity
[00:58:08] are. find myself asking, as AI
[00:58:12] pushes the two cultures to converge, is it breaking
[00:58:15] barriers or quietly built? new ones that could be even harder
[00:58:19] to cross, that's where we go
[00:58:21] next,
[00:58:45] from Wall Street to Main Street and the... empower, money
[00:58:48] talks and so do we. The world of business and finance isn't just
[00:58:52] about dollars and sents. We meet the people behind the numbers and
[00:58:56] examine how it affects you. With reporters and experts around the
[00:59:00] world. We'll cut through the jargon and bring you the
[00:59:04] news that matters. Money talks on
[00:59:07] TRT
[00:59:08] World.
[00:59:16] In the aftermath. of turany: after more than decade of
[00:59:20] darkness, new story
[00:59:22] begins.
[00:59:28] the streets of Syria carry the weight of 13 years of war,
[00:59:31] while its people dream of tomorrow
[00:59:34] unshacle.
[00:59:41] we are here to witness history turn to capture the echos
[00:59:44] of liberation and... tell the world,
[00:59:48] new capture has
[00:59:49] to
[00:59:55] go,
[01:00:09] you're watching TRT World, I am Oscar Sabakti with reminder of our
[01:00:13] main headlines. Yemen's Saudi Lead Coalition says 13.
[01:00:17] civilians have been injured in missile and drone attacks by the ansara
[01:00:21] hutis on three Saudi cities. On Monday, Yemen's army
[01:00:25] said it had struck hoothy positions along the red sea coast.
[01:00:29] Meanwhile, the US vice president says Washington is concerned that the
[01:00:32] group seized another island near the Bab almandab
[01:00:36] straight. We've been inc contact with the
[01:00:40] Emirates, the Saudis and others who are affected in the region. So it's something the
[01:00:44] United States administration is very much top of. We've also... also been
[01:00:47] engaged in direct conversations with the hoothies themselves, so
[01:00:51] we actually feel like we are on
