00:00:00them spinning this news in a way that is more favorable to them, but very
00:00:03fundamentally if they could snap their fingers and have it be that their
00:00:07AIs do not break out and randomly hack things, they would definitely want to do
00:00:10that, so I don't think it's all spin, I don't think it's all some elaborate con, I
00:00:14think they are genuinely scared, but you do have to take the
00:00:18exact phrasing with a pinch of salt. The honest answer, and this is kind of
00:00:21unfortunate is that AI is becoming more and more of a
00:00:25critical piece of national security infrastructure, and
00:00:28so I would guess... the US government had at least
00:00:32some part to play in the decision, the more it
00:00:35becomes the case that these things have you, for example previously
00:00:38anthropic and open AI had their own internal programs to figure out who would get private
00:00:41access to these models for defense, now the US government has kind of taken over
00:00:45that. I think is absolutely wonderful, I think that some part of what's
00:00:49going on is the UK government doesn't have as much leverage and the
00:00:52third party auditors they're looking for very much auditors, very
00:00:56difficult question,
00:00:58mean a couple of things. What have we seen lately? So I think one thing that people
00:01:02underrate is that the China is in some ways more
00:01:06sympathetic to slowing down because they're aware of the fact that if AI gets very
00:01:10powerful, it could be bad for the PRC, could disrupt their ability to sort
00:01:14of um function effectively as a sort of dominant
00:01:17government. Um, so actually compared to the
00:01:20US, they have some appetite for it, they are also currently behind,
00:01:24so there's a lot of specifics in how you do anything like slowing down or
00:01:27restraint, but there are definitely versions of it which... I would guess will be pretty appealing to
00:01:31them. Also that yeah,
00:01:34so they're not exactly open source in that what they release is
00:01:38the contents to run them yourself, but not to actually build them yourself or see how they've
00:01:41done, see how they build like traditional open source software, you can see all the
00:01:45code, you know if it's safe, but that
00:01:48decision to to public things, it's very common in
00:01:51tech in general for people who are a little behind the frontier to want to make the things more
00:01:55available, so sort of Google doing this with Android was a similar story and
00:02:00hid them in remote places Windows doing it. To Apple by releasing sort of Windows
00:02:02OS. I'm certainly hoping that it ends up being a damp squib,
00:02:06but I think that the chances that it on are substantial enough that we need to
00:02:09take this very, very seriously. I mean, if you look at
00:02:13meetings. The decision comes at the kinds of people who are worried, it's a lot of the most
00:02:16heavyweight, well respected AI research
00:02:19luminaries, and the predictions that the people who are most worried
00:02:23were making 10 years ago are beginning to come true, so definitely watch this
00:02:27space.
00:03:00To the Members of the European Parliament in Strasbourg on the state of the Union,
00:03:03President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, summed up.
00:03:07German Chancellor Merkel is record unpopular, the costs of the war in
00:03:10Iran are increasing, and reports are coming in this morning about an attempted
00:03:14Houthi attack on the holiest site of Islam in Mecca. A new tragedy
00:03:18occurred in Gaza. Welcome to
00:03:20Global.
00:03:27The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, delivered her annual
00:03:31State of the European Union address in Strasbourg, warning that
00:03:34the Union faces its most insecure position
00:03:37yet due to aggressive Russia, economic pressures and hybrid
00:03:41threats. As key priorities, she cited the launch of the European
00:03:44economy, energy market reform, and strengthening security
00:03:48protocols based on NATO. In the context of global politics, she stated
00:03:52that isolationism is not an option and announced the strengthening
00:03:55of alliances with a proposal that Canada become the first associated
00:03:59member. Of the European Union. But above all, dear
00:04:03Mark,
00:04:06Europe and Canada believe in
00:04:07democracy.
00:04:10We believe that power does not belong to the strongest,
00:04:13the richest, the loudest, but to all of us. Democracies
00:04:17can choose with whom they will
00:04:18cooperate.
00:04:24That is why we are joining
00:04:25forces of our own free will.
00:04:28After that, we move on to the actual plan. is for the future. Our goal is
00:04:31to create a common space for prosperity and economic
00:04:34security. We will work on intelligent manufacturing,
00:04:37we will establish a technological alliance, we will integrate defense
00:04:41industrial bases, the Arctic will become our main
00:04:45common project, we will cooperate in the areas of
00:04:48energy, critical minerals, batteries, artificial
00:04:51intelligence, quantum technology, cyber and
00:04:54economic security. Our partnership is not aimed against
00:04:58anyone, but strives for strength through
00:05:01unity. We want to maximally
00:05:04strengthen
00:05:08missing under the rubble and our relationship with Canada. Dear Mark, I said we urgently need to redefine our
00:05:12partnership,
00:05:15so I would like us to together open the doors
00:05:18for Canada to become the first associated
00:05:22member of the European
00:05:23Union.
00:05:27I was horrified by the images of last week's funeral
00:05:30of Ratko Mladić in
00:05:32Belgrade.
00:05:51He committed the cruelest crimes against
00:05:54humanity.
00:05:57There is simply no place in the European Union for glorifying war criminals.
00:06:11All victims of the wars of the former Yugoslavia deserve to be remembered
00:06:14and all their families deserve our
00:06:18sympathy,
00:06:22because that is what we as a union stand for: truth,
00:06:26justice, respect for our
00:06:28values.
00:06:35A lot has been said, but little concrete, stated foreign policy
00:06:38analyst Mirjana Rakić on our New Day.
00:06:44"She used a lot of 'we
00:06:47need', 'we will', but how, in what timeframe,
00:06:51what are the deadlines? New alliances are being formed, an alliance
00:06:55for electricity, an alliance for artificial
00:06:59intelligence. The most interesting to me seems to be this
00:07:02European security alliance where in a way a
00:07:05counterbalance to
00:07:08NATO is being created."
00:07:17German Chancellor Friedrich Merz canceled his trip to the United
00:07:21Nations General Assembly in New York, remaining in Berlin for key party
00:07:26a time of great pressure after the heavy defeat of the conservatives
00:07:29in Saxony-Anhalt. New polls show that the right-wing
00:07:33Alternative for Germany leads at the national level with
00:07:37a record 30% support, while the
00:07:40CDU-CSU bloc has fallen to 20%. The upcoming
00:07:43state elections in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern speculation is already rife about a possible change of government leadership.
00:07:46on September 20 will be a new test for Merz, while in
00:07:50public
00:07:58We are an elected government. We are elected for four years. I
00:08:02am elected for four years and I want us to use these four years
00:08:06to lead the country out of this difficult phase.
00:08:08The American war against Iran has so far
00:08:17cost 38 billion
00:08:21dollars, with estimates that monthly costs will increase by three billion
00:08:24dollars, the Congressional Budget Office announced. The conflict has
00:08:28depleted ammunition supplies, caused an increase in energy
00:08:31prices, which could increase inflation by
00:08:340.5% in the first three months of next year. While the White
00:08:38House and Pentagon claim that the military has sufficient resources for all
00:08:41objectives, the US House of Representatives has voted for
00:08:44a resolution to end the conflict for the third time, a decision that comes before the midterm
00:08:48elections, and voters are expressing discontent over rising fuel prices
00:08:52caused by the blockade of the Strait of
00:08:53Hormuz.
00:09:02Saudi Arabian air defense intercepted a Houthi drone near
00:09:05Mecca, which is the first attempted attack on this city since
00:09:082017. Due to security risks, the US Embassy
00:09:11warned its citizens to avoid the border area with
00:09:15Yemen. Due to damage to the pipeline to the Red Sea in
00:09:18drone attacks, Saudi Arabia reduced oil deliveries to
00:09:22Europe. This caused an increase in oil prices, so European companies
00:09:25are forced to seek alternative sources of
00:09:28supply.
00:09:34The armed forces of Yemen will continue to protect the airspace of our country
00:09:37and preserve its sovereignty from any aggression or violation by all
00:09:41available means. And the sky of Yemen will not be violated, if
00:09:45God
00:09:45wills.
00:09:52At least 20 Palestinians, including five children, died and
00:09:5625 were injured in the collapse of a 600-story building in
00:09:59Gaza City. The building, previously damaged in Israeli attacks,
00:10:02served as a shelter for more than 60 displaced persons.
00:10:06Rescue teams are trying to reach those trapped
00:10:09under the rubble, but their work is hampered by the lack of heavy
00:10:13machinery. Authorities in Gaza state that about
00:10:158,500 people across the strip are still
00:10:21call on the international community for urgent intervention and the lifting of the blockade.
00:10:26and here we have deployed all our teams
00:10:30uh that are working on the debris rubble removal uh to
00:10:33support uh to support these families uh
00:10:37situation as you see is tragic because we don't have the equipment and
00:10:40machinery that is needed so there are actually
00:10:44people that are digging uh with their bare
00:10:47hands. We need
00:10:50to prepare there are approximately 400
00:10:53buildings at risk of collapse and we know that these
00:10:56buildings will collapse, especially now with the upcoming
00:11:00winter. We need
00:11:03support, most importantly with
00:11:05machinery, equipment, among others also
00:11:09to our colleagues here, they don't have oil
00:11:12and spare parts to continue and to work with all the
00:11:16equipment that is still in Gaza. We are running
00:11:20against time, this is a tragedy within a larger
00:11:24tragedy.
00:11:26And it is important that we are all coming together as international
00:11:30community to prevent and save
00:11:32lives.
00:11:40That's all for this edition of Global. The latest world news is, as always, on
00:11:44our web portals and social networks. Goodbye until
00:11:47tomorrow.
00:11:55has unmatched power.
00:12:42Heather was um uh the mad mad hatter of the
00:12:46family to be honest, she was the one that got up to mischief, Susanna's
00:12:50sister was the sensible one, um, but yeah,
00:12:53she was a lively, lively, fun loving little
00:12:56girl um that you know would
00:12:59always make us all laugh and fall about and would
00:13:03be up to mischief whenever the opportunity arose, not bad
00:13:06mischief, but enough to you know
00:13:09to keep you on your toes, yeah, yeah, yeah. And
00:13:13as any girl her age is encouraged to
00:13:16be should be, she was active, she liked being outdoors, yeah,
00:13:20and she did that, a lot of your photographs and
00:13:24memories of her. She loved the beach, she loved the beach, she loved being
00:13:27outdoors, yeah, she collected hundreds and hundreds of shells
00:13:30and we had to keep them all and and it was
00:13:34only she could only collect them if she promised to return some
00:13:38and only take few home, um, but of course you never got to
00:13:42choose. It was this family trip to Devon that that changed
00:13:45the course of your family's life and ultimately led to the end of
00:13:49Heather's. Can you talk to me about what happened that day, because it was an ordinary family trip to the
00:13:53beach, yeah, yeah, she...
00:13:55she was enjoying herself having lots of fun and we were going to go for a walk on the
00:13:58evening and um previously in the
00:14:02day we'd done the same walk along the seafront along the
00:14:06path um and that's where she trod in that uh the
00:14:09the water from the combined sewage overflow. We carried on the
00:14:13day she played on the beach did normal things but then
00:14:16in the evening when we went for our evening walk, uh she started
00:14:20she suddenly became unwell
00:14:23um and and became quite distressed. Uh
00:14:27so we got her back to the chalet and did what
00:14:30any parent would do and go, you got to be sickness and diarrhea, you can't have
00:14:34anything eat or drink, you'll be better soon, don't worry about it, I'll stay
00:14:38with you dad and Suzanne will go
00:14:40out. Um, but she she didn't
00:14:44she wasn't getting better. Um so we took her to the
00:14:48chemist. Chemist prescribed her hyalite, you know, sickness and
00:14:51same, you know, every every parent's journey with a child
00:14:55that's got, you know, sickness and diarrhea.
00:14:57Um, but then as things progressed she started to
00:15:00bleed and that's when we went back to the doctors and that's when we were rushed to
00:15:04casualty. Um and everything you saw in Dirty Business
00:15:08is what happened, um which is the the Channel 4
00:15:11series, yeah. Based on your
00:15:15family's experience and exploring the state of the
00:15:18UK waters and the the industry involved in it.
00:15:21Southwest Water carried out investigations at the time
00:15:25um, despite formal investigations, no cause for the outbreak was
00:15:28identified. Um, the inquest documentation confirming that no
00:15:32definitive source of infection was established, and the circumstances Southwest
00:15:35Water say of waste water, infrastructure regulation in the late
00:15:381990s is very different from today and since then there has
00:15:42been significant investment. However, can I just say
00:15:46something? Yeah, you can. At the time it took them
00:15:4930 days to take samples from the water
00:15:53in the area, and we're always told that if there's a sewage spillage
00:15:57into the sea, 48 hours waiting to see, but
00:16:00they did not, they assumed at the time, they completely assumed
00:16:04it was from food, and when they drew a blank,
00:16:08that's when they started looking at the environment. When you think about it,
00:16:12Heather died back in 1999 and water
00:16:15companies say, you know, we're in a very different place to to where
00:16:19we were in the 1990s, but are
00:16:21we that? Well, that's the thing. I mean, you went
00:16:24to Westminster with Surfers Against Sewage
00:16:28last week with some very stark statistics
00:16:32from the summer period. Um, also
00:16:36with personal stories. Families this summer, there was a young girl called
00:16:39Keeva, eight years old, she became seriously ill after swimming at
00:16:43Avon Beach in Dorset, again a designated bathing water
00:16:47site awarded excellent. She swallowed
00:16:50seawater while swimming at her local beach and was
00:16:53hospitalized afterwards. What is it like for you to see
00:16:56this happening up and down the
00:16:59country
00:17:01repeatedly? What is it like for you as a family who have lost a
00:17:05daughter? It's a mixture, there's
00:17:08anger,
00:17:10real anger, but also there's a
00:17:14deep sadness, because when I had
00:17:17my meeting with the Secretary of State and the Secretary for Water, the
00:17:21Minister for Water, sorry, I said to them really clearly,
00:17:25I am not going to stop until something
00:17:29changes, because I cannot allow this to
00:17:32happen to another child and another family, I
00:17:36can't. 'Cause it's horrific and you
00:17:39can't, you can't ignore the fact that this is a public health
00:17:43crisis, the the sewage system, its
00:17:47primary function is to protect public health, and
00:17:50it's not doing that, and so
00:17:53I just cannot understand why there are all these people in
00:17:57power, all these people that have the authority, they must have
00:18:01children, they must have families, they must
00:18:04feel, they must understand.
00:18:08And yet they continue to do the
00:18:11same things over and over again, such as discharging
00:18:14sewage into bathing water. Why would you do that?
00:18:17Why would you run the risk on your
00:18:20watch, the possibility of another death? Why
00:18:24would you do that? Final question, Julie, um, water
00:18:27safety became a mandatory part of the curriculum in the
00:18:30UK in schools to do with water safety, we
00:18:33had an unprecedented number of deaths this year from people getting into
00:18:37difficulty open water swimming, it didn't include
00:18:40water quality. We know that that does
00:18:43get taught as part of geography lessons,
00:18:47but in your case you actually brought out a guide with the charity Surfers Against
00:18:50Sewage to make people aware, because that's the thing, people
00:18:54go to the seaside and they don't always have an app to
00:18:57check what the quality of water is like, but you want to
00:19:00educate young people, because while they're perhaps not being
00:19:04looked after by the state or water companies, they need to look after them.
00:19:09Well the people that are taking them on the trips, doing the risk assessments,
00:19:13doing a full risk assessment, looking at water quality, including that in
00:19:17the risk assessment, and also making children aware. I mean
00:19:20how many, I mean I know I because I used to work in education, if kids
00:19:24got dirty, just rinse your hands in the water when you're on an outdoor ed, just give your hands
00:19:28and it's like, now that's not the case, that is not a safe
00:19:32place to actually make sure you're clean, you know, use some wet
00:19:35wipes, use antibac, use some...
00:19:37don't touch your [unclear], you know, all that kind of basic stuff. Don't touch
00:19:41yours, wash your hands before eating, hygiene,
00:19:45think of the water as potentially contaminated, don't
00:19:48assume it's not, 'cause we can't
00:19:51assume that the water companies, the environmental
00:19:55agency, the government are looking after us at the
00:19:58moment, they aren't, so we have to protect ourselves
00:20:01and that's my big message at the moment
00:20:05is don't assume, take care. Look after your children,
00:20:09keep them safe. The water isn't safe.
00:20:52Let's accustom the youth to good, everything depends
00:20:55on it. And what does it mean to me to be
00:20:58a hero?
00:21:01To help someone who cannot help themselves.
00:21:04The youngest members of the volunteer fire brigade from
00:21:07Petrovaradin during the New Year holidays did
00:21:11a humane and noble deed for their
00:21:12peers. With the help of older members of the
00:21:16association, they managed to brighten the holidays for children from socially
00:21:20disadvantaged families in Petrovaradin. The first
00:21:23action, "Little Firefighters with Love", was conceived in such
00:21:27a way that we use their free
00:21:30time for them to come here and for them to engage in
00:21:33some artistic work which uh to
00:21:37create certain works uh whether fine art or
00:21:40models cookies
00:21:43some modeling things which will then be sold at
00:21:47a sales exhibition and funds collected for... the purchase
00:21:50of New Year's packages for socially disadvantaged children of Petrovaradin. This year we
00:21:54collected funds for approximately 40
00:21:56packages, which is a quite
00:22:00decent number for our conditions. During this
00:22:04action, the children socialized, developed creativity, learned how
00:22:07important teamwork is and how much they can contribute to
00:22:11help someone.
00:22:14Last year they came up with the idea, since during the winter they
00:22:17socialize, then they worked. This. And they drew
00:22:20and so the children decided to organize a humanitarian action
00:22:24to help other children who are not
00:22:27able to have Santa Claus come to their door
00:22:30and personally deliver packages. So I helped
00:22:34with this, I worked with the children and
00:22:37also helped with the models, so we
00:22:40made figures out of dough and they drew, and
00:22:44so I helped them a little, socialized with them, and
00:22:47this rejuvenated me even
00:22:50more.
00:22:53The youngest members of the association learned an important life lesson through
00:22:56this action: how to be a good
00:22:59person. By their example, they showed
00:23:03their peers, but also adults, how with good
00:23:06will and a little effort we can help
00:23:09someone a lot. The winter period comes,
00:23:12so children go to school, then it's cold and they don't socialize. Now, so that they don't
00:23:16hang out wherever, in corners. A little on
00:23:20the street here, let's get them interested
00:23:23in something, teach them to be socially
00:23:27useful. If they are
00:23:30useful to society, they will be useful to themselves, to themselves and
00:23:33to society. We grew up with
00:23:36some shows like Branko Kockica,
00:23:38so we learned some
00:23:42values. So let's pass on the same
00:23:45values to those children today, to be good
00:23:49people. After the sales exhibition, the second
00:23:53part of the action followed. Santa Claus went in a fire truck from
00:23:56address to address, distributing packages, and this part
00:24:00of the action the children left to their older colleagues from
00:24:03the volunteer fire brigade. Thus, the
00:24:05main goal was achieved through joint cooperation. To make the
00:24:09youngest happy for the holidays. I first
00:24:12drew a
00:24:15drawing of firefighters coming to put out a fire
00:24:18from a house. "Then my sister scribbled on it,
00:24:22then our dad printed
00:24:24something and I colored. Then I drew
00:24:28drawings and
00:24:30I made buildings and a hospital. It was nice and
00:24:34fun. For me, being a hero means helping
00:24:37everyone who needs some
00:24:40help.
00:24:42Good deeds must not go unnoticed.
00:24:46Come forward and present your
00:24:48hero. Share with us the good in people.
