00:00:00Stay tuned to N1 television, the first news
00:00:03review is already at 12 p.m.
00:00:22You watched New Day. The show's friend,
00:00:25Medicana Health Group.
00:00:43The weather forecast is brought to you by your ice cream destination,
00:00:46Tropic and Red Apple.
00:01:00What kind of weather can we expect today and by the end of the week?
00:01:04We are still under the influence of high
00:01:07pressure from the Azores anticyclone, a larger
00:01:10amount of unstable air has penetrated into
00:01:14the jet stream over Europe.
00:01:17This jet stream acts to separate
00:01:20colder, unstable air from warm,
00:01:24hot air that is located in the heat
00:01:27wave over our regions. The heat wave is slowly
00:01:31moving eastward, so we can announce that we
00:01:35are in its maximum,
00:01:38but it will gradually
00:01:40move eastward, so we are coming under
00:01:43the influence of weather from
00:01:47the Atlantic, which means a decrease in air
00:01:50temperature, but this will be a very short-term
00:01:54temperature decrease, because this weakened
00:01:57cold front that will pass over our regions will be very short over
00:02:01us, it will mostly only brush us with its tail, so
00:02:05we expect temperatures to
00:02:09start rising again after a slight drop,
00:02:12this afternoon mostly thunderstorms over
00:02:16Slovenia and Austria, which we will see in
00:02:19the northwestern parts of the interior, if we
00:02:22look to the west at the cloud mass that
00:02:26remains there, however, only small amounts
00:02:30of unstable air will penetrate into our area and
00:02:33local thunderstorms are possible mostly on
00:02:37the Dinarides, meaning uh
00:02:40development, local development of clouds that
00:02:42with eastern northeasterly
00:02:45currents can reach the Adriatic, as
00:02:48was the case yesterday evening
00:02:51completing a climbing three of with the development of clouds over
00:02:54the area around the islands of Hvar and Korčula,
00:02:58the situation is the same today, meaning this afternoon
00:03:02local weak thunderstorms, the highest
00:03:04daily temperature will be
00:03:08today in the interior from 34 to
00:03:1238° in Slavonia and Baranja, on the Adriatic
00:03:16mostly around 35°C.
00:03:20In Bosnia and Herzegovina temperatures
00:03:23similar to ours in Croatia with
00:03:26temperatures around 36 in the interior.
00:03:31in the far south in Herzegovina up to
00:03:3438°C, a weak
00:03:38northeasterly wind will bring a little
00:03:41refreshment, there is not much moisture in the atmosphere, so
00:03:45starting to pay people for small amounts of this heat wave is a little easier
00:03:48to bear than the last one which was with significant amounts
00:03:52of moisture so the heat index
00:03:55was significantly higher. When we look at the further development
00:03:59of the situation. "the cold front, weakened, will pass over
00:04:03our regions very quickly, after it the high pressure will rise
00:04:06again, we are coming to a rise in high pressure,
00:04:10it will be clear weather again and stabilization
00:04:14of the weather which will probably be
00:04:17interrupted only by disturbances somewhere
00:04:21around August 14th, 15th, until
00:04:24then for the weekend variable weather only
00:04:28in the northwestern parts..." of the interior on the northern
00:04:31Adriatic, where there will be occasional showers
00:04:35and it will be a little colder, but in the rest of
00:04:39the country we expect warm
00:04:42weather, hot weather, but also the end of the
00:04:45heat wave itself. And more about the weather you can follow on our info channels.
00:05:01mainly to cool servers, according to a
00:05:05Weather information was brought to you by your ice cream destination,
00:05:10equivalent to the drinking water needs of Tropic and Red
00:05:10like. I mean, what does winning feel like in Apple.
00:05:49when I discovered mountaineering while looking into the peaks in the
00:05:52distance, and at the time I was going through a great deal in my
00:05:55life, my father was in a coma for you, four
00:05:59years, he unfortunately later passed away,
00:06:02and I carried lot of weight in my life, and I
00:06:06needed you know an outlet to turn my pain into my
00:06:10power, and that's what mountaineering. now represents for me, it's
00:06:13part of my grief journey after losing
00:06:16him, it's helped me rebuild my confidence, find my
00:06:19purpose, and again I always say, turning my pain
00:06:22into my power and my
00:06:24strength,
00:06:32and my goal has since developed into not just climbing the seven
00:06:35summits, the highest mountain on each continent, but seeing the last
00:06:39degree to the south and north pole, and though... his
00:06:42loss affected me a lot, he is my strength and his memory is my
00:06:46strength. he would be so proud of you, I am
00:06:49sure as you try before the age
00:06:53of 20 to make the explorers
00:06:57grand slam. just walk us through what that means
00:07:00effectively. well, the grand slam consists of two
00:07:04parts. it consists of the seven summits climbing the highest mountain on
00:07:08each continent. I've done four of them so far, and I have three
00:07:11left. and skiing the last degree, so the
00:07:15last 60 nautical miles to the south pole and the north
00:07:18pole. what's been the toughest to
00:07:21date? I'd say the toughest to date would be Lenin Peak,
00:07:25which took me to Kyrgyzstan for three weeks, which is the longest I've ever
00:07:29spent away from home, away from my mother, and
00:07:33um, the hardest part is having the endurance to keep going every single
00:07:36day for three weeks, I'd have to hike a long distance in the heat,
00:07:40carrying my heavy backpack, and then have to do all over again the
00:07:44next day. talk to me about what comes next. what are you
00:07:48doing from now on in to nail this grand slam
00:07:51ahead of your 20th birthday? so what happens
00:07:55between now and then? um, between December
00:07:58and June or July of next year, I'll be
00:08:03the seven summits, so Aconcagua, the highest mountain, South
00:08:07America, Denali, the highest mountain in North
00:08:09America, Everest, where I hope... to do Everest and
00:08:13Lhotse within 24 hours, so two 8,000 meter peaks
00:08:16and skiing to the south and north pole
00:08:20as well as climbing the highest volcano in the world while also
00:08:24continuing to study. I know how important it is for
00:08:28you that what you are doing inspires
00:08:31not just young Emirati women,
00:08:35but young women around the world, just talk to me about that.
00:08:38Well, exactly, my journey goes beyond summits and personal
00:08:42achievement, a story does not end with the person who tells it, it creates
00:08:46movement in the listener, and I hope my story encourages others, not
00:08:50just women, but people in general of all
00:08:52ages, to seek exposure and say yes
00:08:56to unfamiliar paths and step outside their
00:08:59comfort zones and embrace challenges they never thought was possible, because it's
00:09:03through exposure we discover who we are, what we're capable
00:09:07of, and where our deepest passions truly lie, no
00:09:10matter how difficult life becomes, we all have the ability to
00:09:13rise and rebuild and shape a different future, and you know,
00:09:17I'm not special, I'm human, and the
00:09:20ability to rise and rebuild is something human that I'm
00:09:24here to remind people that it's
00:09:26possible,
00:14:14the AI revolution is here, but along with incredible opportunities
00:14:18come new risks, criminals using AI to scam victims out of hundreds
00:14:22of thousands of dollars, data centers consuming vast amounts of
00:14:25energy and water and intelligence agencies warning that
00:14:29advanced AI could supercharge cyber attacks, so how worried
00:14:32should we be? and who should be held accountable? let's get into
00:14:35it.
00:14:39think you'd never fall for an online scam? Well, it can happen to
00:14:42anyone. This businessman lost $400,000 to an AI
00:14:46driven crypto scam. I still wake up occasionally in the middle of the
00:14:49night with anxiety where it just all of a sudden hits me. AI
00:14:53assisted scams are on the rise according to crime researchers
00:14:57and the FBI, criminal networks use AI to work across
00:15:00borders and languages, reaching more victims than ever before.
00:15:04Here's what you can learn from Chris's story: I
00:15:07met Alizer through Facebook, um,
00:15:10November 2024,
00:15:13um, I got a friend request, they began talking, eventually
00:15:17Eliza brought up crypto investments and how much money she made with it, they
00:15:21even had a video call. Eliza looked real, Chris decided
00:15:25to invest. This was a way for me to grow
00:15:28my retirement fund. I had no plans to stay in it for very
00:15:32long. The platform showed steady profits. Everything
00:15:36seemed legit, until Chris mentioned it to a friend. I have this friend, she's a
00:15:40bank manager. She said, what are you doing, Chris? I said, it's part of
00:15:44my investment. She goes, what are you investing in? She said,
00:15:47Chris,
00:15:50you were scammed. The investment platform was fake, the
00:15:53profits were fake and Chris still doesn't know whether he was talking
00:15:57to a person or an AI. There were real people involved,
00:16:00however, one time a man physically came to Chris's house to collect cash in
00:16:04person. Minutes later, the cash showed up in his investment account. when Chris
00:16:08realized he had been scammed, he sent doorbell camera footage to law
00:16:11enforcement, but so far no luck catching the man. I was planning to
00:16:15retire in like another three or four years,
00:16:18that unless something changes, that's not going to happen,
00:16:22which is, to say it's discouraging is probably a gross
00:16:26understatement.
00:16:28This isn't an isolated case, scammers around the world
00:16:31use the same playbook, create a fake identity, build trust,
00:16:35convince someone to invest. then disappear. There are
00:16:39entire scam factories, often based in Southeast Asia. They are known to
00:16:43force human trafficked victims to work in teams to scam people
00:16:46worldwide. Experts estimate that hundreds of thousands of trafficked
00:16:49victims are involved in such operations, and technology
00:16:53is supercharging this. AI can
00:16:56help criminals write convincing messages in many languages.
00:16:59It can create realistic images, it can clone voices and it makes
00:17:03fake identities much harder to detect. As large language
00:17:06models, for example, have gotten better and better, you're suddenly
00:17:10globalizing the audience you can communicate with. Some scam
00:17:14factories use specialized software that incorporates leading AI models to
00:17:18automate and scale their operations. A recent
00:17:20investigation found OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's
00:17:24Gemini to be the most used tools, but models from Europe and
00:17:27China were also used. Internet access is another key part of the
00:17:31operation. Starlink is the number one internet service provider in
00:17:34Myanmar where many scam factories are based. "Starlink is how these
00:17:38compounds continue to connect to the internet and the way that they get
00:17:41around all the other restrictions that are put in place." That raises the question
00:17:45of who carries responsibility here. Is Big Tech to
00:17:48blame? Most technology companies have guidelines that forbid
00:17:52criminal use of their products, but they also argue that monitoring user
00:17:56activity would raise privacy concerns. Some companies have taken
00:17:59action. Starlink says it has disabled thousands of internet
00:18:03terminals linked to scam compounds. Yet investigators say new sites
00:18:06continue to emerge using Starlink again. Critics argue that AI
00:18:10companies and internet providers have the technical ability to do
00:18:13more but lack regulatory pressure. The United Kingdom,
00:18:16the European Union, Australia and Singapore have introduced
00:18:20rules that require companies to better prevent online scams, but
00:18:24regulation takes time, so what can you do right now? If someone
00:18:28you meet online starts talking about investments, be careful, if they
00:18:31pressure you to move money quickly, that's a major red flag.
00:18:35Use reverse image search to check profile photos, never invest through a
00:18:39link sent by someone you've only met online, search independently
00:18:43before sending any money, and if something feels off, trust that
00:18:47feeling. you can even paste your chat into an AI tool and ask if it looks like
00:18:51a scam. if you suspect you're being scammed, stop sending money
00:18:54immediately, save messages and take screenshots of
00:18:57payments. report the scam even if you might not get your money back, you could prevent
00:19:01others from falling for the same scam. because as AI continues to evolve,
00:19:05your best defense isn't just better technology.
00:19:08It's knowing how these scams really work, stay
00:19:10safe.
00:19:13What if your next electricity bill came with a reward for using less power, so
00:19:17data centers can use more? Tech giant Google is
00:19:22their unused energy, from household appliances, and EVs, for
00:19:26example. The idea, turn millions of everyday devices into a virtual
00:19:30power plant for data centers. Sounds
00:19:32crazy, well, as AI use is exploding, data centers need huge amounts
00:19:36of electricity. They leave a massive environmental footprint because of carbon
00:19:40emissions and extensive water use for cooling. Regions in Asia and
00:19:44Latin America are seeing a data center boom, they can
00:19:47bring jobs and investment, but also strain
00:19:50power supply and increase water and energy costs. So communities are
00:19:54asking, how do we balance the benefits and the downsides?
00:19:57Let's break it down. Data centers use enormous amounts of
00:20:01electricity. Some of the biggest ones can consume as much
00:20:04power as around 50,000 homes together and for people living
00:20:08nearby that could affect energy supply, take Mumbai for example.
00:20:11Experts say the data centers could use 1/3 of the city's electricity by
00:20:152030. One idea we've already teased: virtual
00:20:19power plants or VPPs. The concept is simple: rather than one
00:20:23big power source, a VPP connects thousands of smaller ones, home
00:20:27batteries, EV chargers, rooftop solar systems. People get
00:20:31paid to share that energy, helping ease pressure on the grid. Data
00:20:34centers use large amounts of water,
00:20:38recent United Nations report, data centers could consume over 9
00:20:42trillion liters of water every year by 2030. That's roughly
00:20:47the entire world population in a year.
00:20:50In some regions like Latin America, growing demand is causing tension.
00:20:54Residents are worried about water use during droughts. In Uruguay, for
00:20:57example, mass protest broke out after a Google Data Center was
00:21:01proposed during the country's worst drought in 70 years. A
00:21:04similar fight played out in Chile, one of the most drought-prone countries in Latin
00:21:08America. In Santiago Cerillo's district, a proposed Google data
00:21:12center was projected to use 7.6 million liters of
00:21:15water a day, which is about as much water as the surrounding community
00:21:19uses in a year. So what if the cooling water didn't have to come from
00:21:22rivers or groundwater? One idea, put data centers in the
00:21:26ocean. China has recently launched an underwater data center,
00:21:29submerged 10 kms off the coast of Shanghai, it sits 10 m
00:21:33below the surface. The cooling happens naturally
00:21:36there, but some worry that projects like these will disturb marine
00:21:40ecosystems. Data centers don't just consume
00:21:42resources, they also occupy land. Some fear whole
00:21:46communities could be displaced. It's already
00:21:48happening in India. where local farmers refuse to give up their land for a Google
00:21:52data center. So to avoid putting any more stress on the
00:21:56planet, some are looking beyond earth. researchers in Singapore
00:21:59have proposed a system where satellites in low earth orbit could act like data
00:22:03centers, sharing computing power, storage and network traffic. To have
00:22:07data centers in space offers two big advantages: almost unlimited
00:22:11solar energy and natural cooling from the extreme cold of space. Europe's
00:22:15Asen project, UAE's Madari Space and China are
00:22:18already testing prototypes. But there are some problems,
00:22:22cost, difficult maintenance or space debris to name a few. In the
00:22:26end, feelings are mixed. In some places, data centers were once
00:22:30welcomed, like in the US state of Virginia, where they supported over
00:22:3375 thousand jobs across the state and generated more than
00:22:36$1.6 billion dollars in tax revenue in 2023, but
00:22:40over time the public there turned against them. Bottom line, data centers bring
00:22:44jobs, innovation and growth, but also noise, pressure on resources
00:22:48and environmental concerns. and while the benefits might be
00:22:51global, the impact is felt most strongly at the local level.
00:22:55so what do you think? Is it a fair trade-off? What's your take on this? Let us
00:22:59know.
00:23:01Imagine waking up, your bank account locked, the power grid
00:23:05completely down, government websites suddenly switched off,
00:23:08an entire country's critical infrastructure crippled in
00:23:11seconds, not by an army of human hackers, but by a single
00:23:15AI model. Sounds like sci-fi, right? But according to a rare and urgent
00:23:18warning from the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance, a scenario like this
00:23:22is only a few months away. The joint statement of five country security
00:23:26agencies says that AI accelerates the speed, scale and
00:23:29sophistication of cyber threats and urges global leaders to
00:23:33act right now. What's more? This initiative took place in June, only
00:23:37days after the Trump administration officially blocked foreign
00:23:40nationals from accessing Anthropic's Mythos and Fable models. Is the
00:23:44global AI race playing out as a cyber weapons arms race?
00:23:48Let's dive in. The Five Eyes alliance issued a blanket
00:23:52warning about the dangers of so-called frontier AI models, but right
00:23:55now Anthropic's newest tech is taking center stage. In very simple
00:23:59terms, standard AI can code and fix bugs.
00:24:03Frontier models like Mythos can scan code, find flaws and then
00:24:06plan, test and launch a full cyber attack.
00:24:10Previously, targeted zero day exploits could only be
00:24:13executed by advanced hackers, that means detecting deeply hidden
00:24:17software vulnerabilities that the creators don't even know exist.
00:24:20Now, anyone with an internet connection and access to a capable
00:24:24frontier model could theoretically do that. This drastically accelerates
00:24:28the speed and scale of cyber warfare. For this
00:24:31reason, Anthropic had kept its most powerful frontier model, Claude
00:24:35Mythos 5, restricted to select corporations to help
00:24:38strengthen cyber defenses. Its hacking capabilities were deemed too
00:24:42dangerous for public use. Claude Fable 5 was supposed to be the
00:24:45safe public version with built-in guard rails, but the Trump
00:24:48administration didn't agree. They expressed concerns over a potential
00:24:52security flaw citing a jail break that allowed users to
00:24:55bypass the AI safeguards. US authorities claimed there was an
00:24:59unacceptable risk of these models being diverted into military
00:25:03intelligence and used by foreign adversaries, so they banned
00:25:07access to both models for all foreign nationals overnight, in a move
00:25:10strongly criticized by developers and
00:25:12experts. Following negotiations, Anthropic officially
00:25:16redeployed and restored Claude Fable 5 on July 1st. But what
00:25:20were the global implications of the short-lived ban? Global
00:25:24fallout was massive. By pulling the plug overnight, Washington didn't just
00:25:27hold back a piece of software. They shuttered global trust in American tech. Many
00:25:31leaders believed that powerful models like fable could help patch their own
00:25:35cyber security to avoid doomsday scenarios like the one we talked about in the
00:25:39beginning. but if the Trump administration can just cut off
00:25:42anyone, even ally like Australia, which had just signed
00:25:45major national AI deal with anthropic, what stopping them from blocking
00:25:49access to... other crucial software. If techs across Europe, Asia and
00:25:53Latin America realize they can't rely on American platforms, they
00:25:56will inevitably look for alternatives, like the advanced state
00:26:00backed open source models flowing out of China. and they have their very own
00:26:03flaws. around the world, there are initiatives to become less dependent on
00:26:07US tech, especially AI. the EU, for example is pushing hard
00:26:11for much more digital sovereignty at the moment, but it's a long way to
00:26:15go, because AI needs massive infrastructure and
00:26:17investments. that's why many experts and
00:26:21politicians are calling for international cooperation to rain
00:26:24in the risk of unregulated AI development. do you think that's
