[00:00:09] You're of watching [00:00:10] of of TRT World, I'm Jafar Hastan, the [00:00:12] of headlines: three people, including two children have been killed in Saudi Lad [00:00:16] Coalition air strikes in Yemen's Thais province, that's according to Huti [00:00:19] Run Media. The strikes come, [00:00:21] as Saudi Arabia says, it will respond firmly to who the attacks that [00:00:25] injured 13 civilians in three Saudi [00:00:28] of cities. The United Nations as fighting in Yemen has forced 125 [00:00:32] thousand people from their homes since the start of this [00:00:35] month. [00:00:37] of We walked on foot at night after sunset from Mokha to Babal [00:00:40] Mandap. We were then told that the road was closed and that we had to [00:00:44] return to Mokha. We appeal to the humanitarian [00:00:47] organizations and the international community to intervene [00:00:51] and provide shelter for these families and ensure that they [00:00:55] receive food, water, clothing and [00:00:58] accommodation. Iranian estate media says [00:01:01] a drone strike has hid to Iranian fishing boats along the straight of [00:01:05] of hormos leaving several people missing, [00:01:07] in a separate incident, Iran's revolutionary guard coress and oil tanker [00:01:11] exploded and caught fire after striking mines in the waterway, [00:01:15] but the US military disputes that account, saying the tanker was struck by [00:01:19] Iran and rendered inoperable last [00:01:24] of of month. In Gaza, overnight Israeli [00:01:26] of attacks have killed at least five people. Officials reported that a [00:01:30] pre-don drone strike hit Gaza city killing four people, another person was [00:01:34] killed after sniper fire in jabaliah. more [00:01:38] than 1,300 people have been killed since the cease fire took effect [00:01:42] last year in October. protests have turned violent in [00:01:46] the Romanian capitalist police tried to quell farmers [00:01:49] unrest. they are demanding the government undo a ban on livestock [00:01:52] exports in this case, sheeps and [00:01:55] a goats. the country has banned the exports after [00:01:58] a report showed showed high risk. of sheep and goat pox. The ban [00:02:02] was first implemented only to European Union nations and now included non- [00:02:05] EU countries and is extended until December this [00:02:09] year. The Russian drone attack killed one person and [00:02:12] knocked out power in parts [00:02:14] of of of Ukraine Saparitia and keive's mayor said a drone hit a petrol [00:02:18] station in the Ukrainian capital early on Tuesday injuring one person. [00:02:22] Meanwhile in the black sea vessels carrying military supplies to Ukraine were [00:02:25] hit while port infrastructure in [00:02:28] of Odessa also came under attack. That's all for [00:02:32] now, do stay with us here on [00:02:38] a [00:02:43] of We're in one [00:02:47] of the main cridles of Chinese civilization, a province that has [00:02:51] shaped both the country's ancient past as well as its [00:02:55] modern [00:02:55] in history. Shani is looking firmly ahead with its [00:02:59] electric. vehicles to advance manufacturing from automation [00:03:03] a to smart agriculture. This province has its [00:03:10] a of sites and ambitions firmly of set on becoming economic and technological [00:03:11] powerhouse. [00:03:41] of And to understand China, three facts must never [00:03:45] be forgotten. [00:03:47] of China is history, China is [00:03:50] land, [00:03:54] China is [00:03:55] people. [00:04:01] Just like Frank Cappra's iconic film from nearly a century ago [00:04:05] said, to understand a country as vast as [00:04:09] China, you have to break it into three [00:04:12] in things: first, its history, then it's [00:04:15] land [00:04:16] in as well as its [00:04:18] of people, and there's no better place to start that [00:04:20] of story right here than in Shani [00:04:23] of Province. Located on the western edge of [00:04:27] China's heartland, this province has been home to... more Chinese [00:04:31] of dynasties than anywhere [00:04:32] of else [00:04:32] in the country, but one changed [00:04:36] everything. 22 centuries ago, a king [00:04:39] named Yung Jong conquered [00:04:42] a China's waring states and crowned himself Chin Shung, [00:04:46] a or the first emperor. His kingdom, [00:04:49] Chin, gave the west the word China, and modern [00:04:53] Shanchi sits its heart. Chinhang [00:04:57] built the first unified great wall in Chinese. [00:05:00] history, stitching together older fortifications into [00:05:04] one long line of defense. You might know that wall from [00:05:07] very different story, a 2016 [00:05:11] movie that put mat Damon top of it, fighting [00:05:14] monsters, and yes, Hollywood did take some [00:05:18] liberties, because the real emperor isn't [00:05:22] remembered for wall, he's remembered for, we need to [00:05:26] move, we need to move and we [00:05:27] die, [00:05:40] more than 2 years ago, China's first. created this [00:05:43] vast army of terra cotta warriors hoping that they would [00:05:47] protect him in the afterlife, but in doing so [00:05:51] he inadvertly left behind something for the living, an [00:05:54] extraordinary window into ancient China. [00:05:58] Today new technology is helping researchers to look even [00:06:01] deeper into treasures like this, preserving the past [00:06:05] while also unlocking the secrets that have been buried for [00:06:09] thousands of years. So how do you build an army [00:06:13] of 800 soldiers with literally no two faces [00:06:16] alike, using nothing but river clay, more than 2,ous [00:06:20] years ago, well the answer says as much about ancient [00:06:24] china's ambition as the warriors themselves, and it [00:06:28] starts like any production run with raw [00:06:31] material. the process began [00:06:35] with local clay, it was cleaned, mixed with water and [00:06:39] prepared for one of history's earliest large-scale... manufacturing [00:06:43] operations, like modern assembly [00:06:46] line, specialized workshops produced standardized body [00:06:50] parts in batches before moving them to the next [00:06:53] stage. skilled artisans then hand [00:06:57] finished every face, hairstyle and armor, ensuring [00:07:01] no two warriors looked exactly [00:07:03] alike. once assembled, the figures [00:07:07] were fired in large killnts, transforming soft clay [00:07:11] into durable... [00:07:15] Finally, each warrior was painted and placed into formation, [00:07:19] creating an army of thousands to guard China's [00:07:23] first emperor for [00:07:24] eternity. Treasures like [00:07:28] these aren't rare in Chanchi, they're almost [00:07:31] everywhere. Province is dotted with museums holding [00:07:35] relics from China's earliest dynasties, and this [00:07:39] one in Bauji ranks is one the country's largest. [00:07:42] dedicated entirely to bronze, inside sits an [00:07:46] unassuming vessel called the Hzun, cast more than 30 [00:07:50] years ago, it carries something remarkable, and that is the [00:07:54] earliest known written record the word zongo [00:07:58] or middle kingdom, what China has called itself for more than [00:08:02] 200 years. But these museums [00:08:05] aren't just preserving the past, they're finding new ways [00:08:09] to bring it to life. [00:08:13] "visitors can put on AR glasses and watch ancient bronze [00:08:16] workshops reassemble themselves in front their [00:08:19] eyes, or scan a QR code beside [00:08:23] relic and hear its story translated, animated and [00:08:27] explained. Old Bronze, new [00:08:31] technology, it's a pairing that shows up again and again [00:08:35] in Shanchi. Chanchi's story doesn't [00:08:39] end with emperors. In 1935, [00:08:42] In the midst of a civil war, exhausted communist forces [00:08:46] staggered into Yanan after a brutal year long [00:08:50] retreat known as the long march, it marked the end [00:08:53] of one struggle and the start of another. [00:08:57] Mause dong spent the next decade building his movement from these very [00:09:01] hills. Today, visiting Yanan carries [00:09:05] something close to religious weight, and for many it's a [00:09:09] pilgrimage. Shani tells the story. of how [00:09:13] china was forged from ancient empires to the [00:09:16] communist revolution. history here has often been shaped [00:09:20] by conflict, but China has always faced [00:09:23] another challenge, one fought not on the battlefield, [00:09:27] but in the fields. China's story in so many [00:09:31] ways has always been a story about food. For centuries, [00:09:35] one the biggest challenges has been, how do you feed so many mouths with [00:09:39] relatively little arable lamb? Today, possesses roughly [00:09:43] fifth the world's population, yet less than a tenth of its arable [00:09:47] land, so how do you feed more than billion people? well, [00:09:51] you need to grow more with less. From what I've [00:09:55] seen, I think there's a good explanation to why food occupies such [00:09:58] singular place in Chinese culture. Instead [00:10:02] of, how are you, the traditional greeting is [00:10:05] nichifandama, have you eaten yet? so that tells [00:10:09] me meals aren't just meals, they're how [00:10:25] into the language itself, but [00:10:29] turning that philosophy into reality has never been [00:10:32] simple. China is a huge [00:10:35] country. Look a map the world's pharmable land and the [00:10:39] problem becomes obvious. Nearly half of [00:10:42] China's mountains desert or land, either too [00:10:46] dry or to cold to farm. The fertile strip [00:10:50] where most people actually live, is a fraction the [00:10:54] whole. which raises an obvious question: how do [00:10:58] you feed 1.4 billion people on [00:11:00] that? one answer, make every hectare [00:11:04] count. nowhere is that more visible than in luachan [00:11:08] county a few hours from yanan where hillsides that [00:11:12] once grew modest orchards have been turned into a sprawling [00:11:16] laboratory for the plane apple. for more than [00:11:19] decade, scientists here have been doing something farmers have done for [00:11:23] centuries ( spreading trees for better fruit, [00:11:27] but here's the catch: it's been done at [00:11:30] industrial, genetic scale, they've bread varieties [00:11:34] that resist drought, dodge late frosts, and ripen [00:11:37] sweeter, all while chasing a single goal, [00:11:41] squeeze more food out of less land. leading that effort [00:11:45] is Dr. Zo yang Jun, director the Lochan apple [00:11:49] experimental station. The fact the matter is that our [00:11:52] planet's climate is changing, How are phenomena [00:11:56] like drought and other extreme weather conditions [00:11:59] affecting the variety of apples that you're [00:12:02] producing. Frost damage [00:12:06] during flowering occurs in the an growing region almost every [00:12:10] year. Severe frost damage can result in total crop [00:12:13] failure. We use breathing methods to address the issue of [00:12:17] frost damage during flowering. Most frost damage during flowering in the [00:12:21] yan region occurs in early to mid April. [00:12:25] Therefore, if we develop late blooming varieties that delay flowering [00:12:29] by 10 to 15 days, the flowering period will shift to late [00:12:33] April. This way we can avoid frost damage during [00:12:36] flowering. Through breathing methods we can resolve the issue of [00:12:40] frost damage during flowering caused by these climate anomalies in the [00:12:44] industry. What type of specific [00:12:48] technologies that are being developed here in the [00:12:51] laboratories uh that are applicable to other commercial. [00:12:59] Our country has national apple industry technology system in [00:13:02] place across the major apple producing regions. Almost every [00:13:06] region has a comprehensive experimental station, so for [00:13:10] example, new varieties developed in Loachan can first be [00:13:13] planted at these experimental stations for regional [00:13:16] trials. If they perform well at experimental stations in [00:13:20] different regions, the regional experimental stations will then [00:13:24] promote them. their local areas, breeding a [00:13:28] better apple is only half the equation, the other [00:13:32] half is getting it out the ground, and increasingly that [00:13:36] job doesn't require a person at all. [00:13:39] autonomous sprayers now roll through these orchards on their [00:13:43] own, watering and treating trees with a precision [00:13:46] no human arm can match. robotic diggers handle the [00:13:50] heavy labor that once broke backs for [00:13:53] generations, by row, people are being [00:13:56] quietly written off the production [00:13:59] chain, this machine [00:14:03] can handle at least 33000 square meters of land per [00:14:06] day, with manual labor, the maximum area that can be [00:14:10] separayed in a day [00:14:11] is 6,700 square me. relatively [00:14:15] speaking, this machine can cover 2600 square [00:14:18] meters more per day than a person can. it gets the job [00:14:22] done quite quickly. in the past, when we sprayed [00:14:25] pesticides, we would get up at 6 a.m. and still not finish [00:14:29] spraying 6,700 square meter by [00:14:32] nightfall. now we can cover about 33,000 [00:14:36] square meters a day and we are done early in the day. that's a [00:14:40] real improvement in efficiency and time savings, plus the [00:14:44] pesticide reaches the tops the apple trees and is applied very [00:14:47] evenly. so after [00:14:51] genetics, robotics and a small army of engineers, [00:14:55] It's fair to say that Shanchi has the number of better [00:14:58] apple, which [00:15:02] feels like the right moment to borrow a line from a certain Boston [00:15:06] Janitor and different Matt Damon movie [00:15:08] entirely. Well, I got a [00:15:12] number, how do you like them [00:15:14] apples? [00:15:25] The same technology, reshaping China's orchards through [00:15:28] sensors, artificial intelligence, and machines capable of [00:15:32] impossibly precise movement, is also finding [00:15:36] very different. calling, not in the fields, but [00:15:40] in hospitals and clinics. The fact the matter is like [00:15:44] most the developed world, China to is aging [00:15:48] fast, and the math is unforgiving, more [00:15:51] people needing care is even more alarming, the fewer [00:15:55] specialists trained to give it. A single rehabilitation [00:15:59] therapist can take five eight years to train, and [00:16:03] patients don't have that kind of time. Here in [00:16:06] Shean. A company called Avic Chunchi thinks [00:16:10] robots might close that gap, built on decades of [00:16:13] aerospace engineering, they're now applying that same [00:16:17] precision to something far more personal, helping [00:16:21] people walk [00:16:21] again. This [00:16:25] is a global structural challenge. Aging has led to an exponential [00:16:29] increase in rehabilitation needs, well it takes at least five eight years to [00:16:33] train a qualified rehabilitation therapist, creating a significant gap. [00:16:37] between supply [00:16:38] and demand. aviation creation, leveraging the technological [00:16:42] foundation the aviation industry corporation of China, focuses on [00:16:46] robotics and artificial intelligence technologies. In our [00:16:49] practical application, robots take over the execution of standardized training, [00:16:53] data collection and status monitoring. Previously, a therapist could [00:16:57] only accompany one patient through the entire set of exercises a [00:17:00] time, now they can manage multiple devices [00:17:03] simultaneously. We are working to expand these services to [00:17:06] communities. [00:17:38] but their biggest impact may be on the move itself, [00:17:41] transforming how the cars of tomorrow are built. [00:17:45] automation is quietly rewriting how China builds things [00:17:49] for the rest the world. few companies illustrate that better [00:17:53] than fast auto drive. founded in the [00:17:56] 1960s, it's grown into China's largest maker of [00:18:00] heavy duty transmissions, the unglamorous but [00:18:03] essential parts that move trucks and buses. It's [00:18:07] story also has an American thread. Since the [00:18:10] 1980s, Fast has partnered with the US industrial [00:18:14] giant Eton, relationship that's outlasted four [00:18:18] decades of shifting politics and trade [00:18:21] wars. To understand how far that partnership has [00:18:24] come, I sat down with Joo Jenlyn assistant to the general [00:18:28] manager. New [00:18:32] Energy is a core direction for global green development and a [00:18:36] main track in current automotive industry [00:18:39] transformation, as critical core component of electric [00:18:42] vehicles, the drive train's performance directly [00:18:46] determines the vehicle's power output, range and [00:18:49] ride comfort. the transmission system in conventional fuel [00:18:53] vehicles mainly matches the internal combustion engine's [00:18:57] speed output and enables stepped power [00:19:00] regulation. its structure is relatively heavy [00:19:04] and energy losses in the transmission chain are... [00:19:07] it's relatively described, high in contrast, the new [00:19:10] transmission system for new energy vehicles must [00:19:14] accommodate the wide speed range and different [00:19:17] torque characteristics of electric motors. your [00:19:21] factory [00:19:24] it in in, is it's a dark factory, which essentially means there's no [00:19:28] electricity, there's no light in there, because there's a low number of humans are [00:19:32] working there, do you feel that that dark [00:19:35] factory model can be? [00:19:42] the dark factory with fully automated equipment and [00:19:46] unmanned logistics systems achieves 24-hour continuous [00:19:50] production. this not only significantly reduces energy consumption [00:19:54] per unit of product, but also removes the constraints [00:19:58] of human work schedules on capacity release. further [00:20:02] improving the delivery capability of core drive train [00:20:06] products and better response. to fluctuating market [00:20:09] orders, the kind of unmanned production in all [00:20:12] scenarios does not completely replace human [00:20:15] roles, rather, it liberates industrial workers from [00:20:19] repetitive physical assembly tasks and shifts them to more [00:20:23] technology intensive positions such as equipment [00:20:26] maintenance, process optimization and quality [00:20:29] analysis. [00:20:39] Shashi store has always been one of [00:20:42] reinvention, today that reinvention is reaching [00:20:46] its most ambitious form yet. Some factory. [00:20:50] here have become so automated they barely need a person on [00:20:54] the floor at all. take Chile: what started in [00:20:58] 1986 is a small manufacturing outfit didn't build [00:21:01] its first car until 1997. [00:21:05] today it's one of China's largest automakers and for the [00:21:09] first half of this year it actually outsold its biggest [00:21:13] rival Byd for the number one spot in the [00:21:16] country. lot of that ambition runs through... this [00:21:20] plant in Booji, built in under three years spanning [00:21:24] 40000 square meters of factory floor, it now [00:21:28] turns out more than 200 thousand vehicles annually. [00:21:32] in the welding shop alone, more than 400 robots work [00:21:35] together to finish a car body every 90 [00:21:38] seconds. i met with lanchon, the plant's executive [00:21:42] deputy general manager. [00:21:46] currently more than 400 robots are in operation in the... welding [00:21:50] shop with one vehicle rolling off the production line every 90 [00:21:54] seconds. this high level of automation has fundamentally [00:21:58] reshaped the way vehicles are manufactured here. robots can [00:22:02] operate around the clock, significantly improving production [00:22:05] efficiency. high-precision welding, vision-based error [00:22:08] proofing and 5G enabled inspection helps eliminate [00:22:12] missed welds and defective welts, ensuring consistent [00:22:16] body quality. repetitive tasks such as welding and [00:22:20] material transfer are handled by machines, while employees [00:22:24] are able to focus on equipment operation and maintenance, [00:22:27] process optimization and quality control. you have [00:22:31] more than 80 companies are supplying parts for this particular company, and they've [00:22:35] all established branches in the region. talk to me about how jieli [00:22:39] is playing role in establishing bauji and the general shanchi [00:22:43] province as in automotive manufacturing [00:22:45] hub. first we're strengthening the [00:22:49] local. automotive industry chain, Gilie has established [00:22:53] vehicle, power train and battery projects in the region, [00:22:56] attracting, supporting suppliers and filling key gaps in [00:23:00] core manufacturing capabilities. Second, we're taking [00:23:04] advantage the China-Europe railway Express and Shanchi's [00:23:07] strategic geographical location to export vehicles [00:23:11] manufactured in Bauji to countries along the belt and [00:23:15] road. Third, we're promoting greater coordination and [00:23:19] capacity sharing. among production bases within Shanshi [00:23:22] while connecting them with Jieli's manufacturing bases across [00:23:26] China. After the tour, the [00:23:30] best way to understand what J's engineers had built was to actually [00:23:34] drive it around, so we climbed into a starray alongside [00:23:38] J's Chen, goes by Kevin. This [00:23:41] particular model model, the the starray, it's interesting [00:23:45] a lot of respects, tell me why? Well, GD Story is a long story, GT [00:23:49] Story. is kind of a star product um 10 years ago when Ji is not [00:23:53] that big as as as today um is kind of a star product to [00:23:57] really drive the gi um china sales volume to top [00:24:01] player and right now um you star is another going to another level [00:24:05] not only sales in china but we bring this product to um the markets outside [00:24:09] china so very popular in in some uh jilly uh some some [00:24:13] global markets as well um the numbers for this particular [00:24:16] company is impressive i think for the first two months you [00:24:20] exceeded uh the 800 pound gorilla BYD [00:24:24] that's uh it's a very promising start this year right yeah [00:24:28] so actually um not only two months the first um half the year the six [00:24:32] months we achieve 1.4 million you know [00:24:36] global sales in terms the GD auto group sales volumes so it's a kind of [00:24:40] momentum we already gain a couple of months already and we want to [00:24:43] keep keep it going so uh in terms of our innovation [00:24:47] investment innovation investment on the technology [00:24:50] advancing so we're quite quite confident that we can bring bring up the [00:24:54] momentum not only in China but also in global markets so Kevin just moment ago we [00:24:58] were inside uh of a dark factory and you were kind enough to actually to [00:25:02] open up the uh the lights uh tell me what goes [00:25:05] on a in in the dark factory side the manufacturing well [00:25:09] as as you mentioned my I think dark facturing juty is quite common and [00:25:13] this balg factory is a good example and a good representative so normally [00:25:17] when no visitors we just turn off the lights and actually don't need [00:25:21] and because because the high automation and all the robotic arms right [00:25:25] deployed into the different production line and we were quite confident that [00:25:29] um this kind of mechanism dock factory which means high [00:25:32] automation is is is fully can satisfy our daily [00:25:36] production needs. the industry has a name for what Kevin's [00:25:40] describing: a dark factory. these are [00:25:43] production lines so automated, so precise they can run [00:25:47] for hours without a single person on the floor. In some [00:25:51] sections the lights don't even need to be switched on for the simple reason [00:25:55] being the machines don't need to see. Cheeli [00:25:59] turned them today because we asked. Normally. "this [00:26:02] room runs in the total dark. we had a chance [00:26:06] to uh witness the different production [00:26:10] phases in different plants or different areas the [00:26:13] factory. some were fully robotic, some you had [00:26:16] humans. um, this tells me that it it's still [00:26:20] not a 100% robotic production model, but will [00:26:24] it get there in the future? well, we as a car manufacturer, we always [00:26:28] find the best solution for manufacturing cars, so this kind of set up to..." [00:26:32] to highly deploy our high robotic solution into our welding [00:26:36] factory for example and also to deploy the certain number of the human [00:26:40] employee into the final assembly line which is i think is most [00:26:44] efficient way under circumstances of current technology where [00:26:47] technology can can achieve so in the future we also outlook [00:26:51] that in some certain time period of time that we can achieve even higher [00:26:55] automation period automation level so we are we are quite confident that [00:26:59] that they will come to very soon what's one particular? technology that [00:27:03] really excites you about what's going on here at [00:27:06] plants? i think um for personally i would say [00:27:10] sustainability so if you visit out of factories will be all like machines [00:27:14] all like metal things but just you see all the trees all the grass [00:27:17] around and we try to like sustainable it [00:27:20] coexistent between our factory and and environment together [00:27:23] surround it so we we we don't want to do a disruptor the [00:27:27] of environment normally factor will be very very you know damaged to your [00:27:31] local environment but we want to call this not only that, but we also want to contribute to local [00:27:35] climate, local um, the ecosystems. from [00:27:38] terra cotta soldiers built on an assembly line more than 2,0 years [00:27:42] ago to exhausted revolutionaries, ending a long march in [00:27:46] these hills, Shanshi has never been a passive witness [00:27:50] to Chinese history, it's helped write [00:27:53] it. Today, that story is being told [00:27:57] in different language, sensors, algorithms and [00:28:01] robotic arms. An orcherd in Luxan is bread to [00:28:04] survive frost, it was never designed for. A patient [00:28:08] in Chian is learning to walk again, guided by machines [00:28:12] built from aerospace parts and a factory floor in [00:28:16] Bauji, a car rolls off the line every 90 [00:28:20] seconds, built by hands that increasingly [00:28:23] aren't human hands at all. Put it all together, [00:28:27] and Chanchi looks less like museum of China's past and [00:28:31] more like a... rough draft of what's coming [00:28:34] next. [00:28:40] Shani has always been a place where China has reinvented [00:28:43] itself. Today it's happening again. Technology [00:28:47] is moving to farms, production lines and the roads as [00:28:51] China looks for ways to feed its population, power its economy, [00:28:55] and build the factories of tomorrow. Chanshi's history tells us [00:28:59] where China has come from, but the transformation that's happened. [00:29:03] now also offers us a glimpse of where it's heading.

[00:30:18] Caught in the crossfire are over 100 thousand civilians in Yemen [00:30:22] moving from shelter to shelter.
