00:00:21of so much joy as well, very sad there, well former Colombia University student
00:00:25and pro-paleitinan activist Mahmoud Khalil has filed a
00:00:29lawsuit. against university and one of its deens allegging
00:00:33in discrimination against Palestinian students. Khalil was arrested by immigration
00:00:36agents in March
00:00:38of 2025 after taking part in protests against Israel's war in Gaza. He was
00:00:42detained for
00:00:43in 104 days. Khalil accuses Colombia of laying the ground work
00:00:47in for the Trump administration to target him. We
00:00:50are suing
00:00:51of because no students, regardless
00:00:56of of their a background should go through the hill that Colombia put us through.
00:01:00over all these years, year and a half since my unlawful detention,
00:01:04Colombia has not reached out one time to offer any support
00:01:07to me, on the contrary, they barred me from
00:01:11campus, the only time they emailed us was actually to
00:01:15ask us to leave Colombia housing, it is time to
00:01:19hold those who discriminate against Palestinians
00:01:22accountable. Turkey and Somalia have
00:01:26developed a strategic partnership bringing together security defense. unitarian
00:01:30assistance, trade and energy. now
00:01:32for more than decade, Ankara has supported Somalia's efforts to threaten its security and
00:01:36state capacity. Let's take a closer look at
00:01:39that. In 2011, the then prime
00:01:43minister, Richard Taip Erdogan, visited Morgadisue during
00:01:46devastating drought and humanitarian crisis.
00:01:50Ancora subsequently expanded
00:01:52in its humanitarian and development assistance, while also deepening
00:01:56political and economic ties. Since 20.
00:02:0013, Turkey has also played a facilitating
00:02:03of role in talks between Somalia and the Somaliland
00:02:07administrations. Turkey supports the
00:02:10development of Somalia's security
00:02:12of institutions through military training, capacity building and
00:02:16defense cooperation. The Turksom military training
00:02:20facility opened in
00:02:22of September 2017, providing
00:02:24of training to Somalia's armed forces. In February
00:02:272024, Turkey and Somalia. defense and
00:02:30economic cooperation framework agreement, boosting bilateral
00:02:34cooperation in security and defense. Trade
00:02:38between Turkia and Somalia covers a wide range of products, including
00:02:42food, machinery, construction materials,
00:02:45in pharmaceuticals and other manufactured goods.
00:02:48in Turkish companies are also active in areas including construction,
00:02:52of infrastructure,
00:02:55a of logistics and services. In March, 2024, Turkey and Somalia signed agreements establishing a
00:02:59framework. for cooperation in oil and natural
00:03:02gas. In 2024, Turkey
00:03:06petroleum and the Somali petroleum authority signed an agreement for
00:03:10offshore oil and gas
00:03:11of exploration and production. The following year, hydrocarbon
00:03:15exploration and production onshore were added to the
00:03:18agreement. In January, Turkey and Somalia signed a protocol aimed at
00:03:22strengthening economic and commercial
00:03:28of cooperation.
00:03:37Russia and Ukraine exchange strikes overnight targeting critical infrastructure on
00:03:41both sides. A Russian drone attack killed one person and knocked out power
00:03:45plants in Zapharia. Well Keeves Mer says a drone hit a
00:03:48petrol
00:03:49of station in the Ukrainian capital early on Tuesday injuring one
00:03:52person. In the black sea vessels carrying military supplies to Ukraine were
00:03:56hit while the port infrastructure in Odessa also came.
00:04:00attack, Russian authorities also reported attacks targeting
00:04:04e-commerce warehouse and industrial facility in Samaria
00:04:07region. The Turkish
00:04:11foreign minister Han
00:04:12fedhan says Turkey is stepping up efforts to prevent the Russia-Ukraine war from spreading
00:04:16into the black sea, threatening civilian lives and maritime security.
00:04:20Speaking in Bacu, Fidan said Anchorer is intensifying
00:04:24diplomatic efforts to pave the way for an agreement between the two
00:04:27countries.
00:04:30of While the Russia Ukraine war continues unhabited, civilian
00:04:35of casualties and destruction are increasing with each passing day. Since the
00:04:39beginning
00:04:43of of the crisis, we have made significant efforts to keep the black sea out
00:04:44of the conflict. Thanks to our strict implementation
00:04:47of the Montro Convention and our efforts to facilitate the Black
00:04:51Sea Grain initiative, we were able to achieve these
00:04:55of objectives successfully until recently. However, the
00:04:59increasing attack. on civilian vessels in the black sea in
00:05:02recent months have been seriously undermining the safety of
00:05:06life, property, navigation and the environment in the
00:05:10region. Unfortunately, Turkish and Azerbaijani sea
00:05:13fairs have also lost their lives in these
00:05:16attacks. It is not acceptable for the war to spread
00:05:20into the black sea and threaten the lives of our citizens
00:05:24and the operation of our companies. We have
00:05:27intensified our efforts to reach an agreement and we are taking
00:05:31the necessary steps to bring these efforts to a
00:05:34conclusion. As Turkey, we will continue to make
00:05:38every effort to achieve peace. The.
00:05:42US Supreme Court has blocked President Donald Trump's attempts to fight mailing
00:05:46voting rules just weeks before November's mid-term
00:05:49elections. The high court rejected emergency request from the administration
00:05:53allowing states to keep their existing ballot systems. The white house
00:05:57wanted to block mailing ballots from voters not on list provided in
00:06:01advance to the US Postal service, but critics argued that the
00:06:05president lacked the authority to rewrite election rules at the last
00:06:08minute. Nearly a third of US voters use male ballots making the decision.
00:06:12an important one in the race for control of
00:06:14congress. tech giant
00:06:18anthropic, the company behind the AI assistant Claude is calling for governments to
00:06:22consider mandatory regulations, including a potential kill switch for
00:06:25all US systems. while the US president Donald Trump says it's all
00:06:29hokes and opposes the restrictions. while the debate was triggered
00:06:33after former Openthropic staff raised the alarm that
00:06:37AI is getting out of control and could gamble with our lives.
00:06:41gr. they assist
00:06:45us, they can also
00:06:48dance, compete, even for the
00:06:52jobs that traditionally relied on the human
00:06:55touch, but the fast advancement of
00:06:58artificial intelligence is also raising safety
00:07:02question. i've worked an AI for 10 years and the whole time,
00:07:06every year i have been saying this technology is incredibly
00:07:09powerful,
00:07:10it is getting more powerful by the day. and the window to act when you
00:07:14have a small number of companies that can build it because it's still very
00:07:17expensive is so narrow.
00:07:19it is few years. we are in this window now. the
00:07:23co-founder of Anthropic, one the largest tech companies in the
00:07:26world says, lawmakers across the globe should
00:07:29introduce kill switch policy. that's when you can get a
00:07:33policy regime in place that can prevent accidents and it can
00:07:37prevent the technology spiraling out of control. tech titans including
00:07:41elon musk and AI chat gpt creator
00:07:44Samman have joined Anthropic's call to slow down
00:07:48in the AI tech race. Last December US
00:07:52President Donald Trump allowed AI giant Nevidia to sell its
00:07:56advanced H200 chips to approved customers in
00:07:59China on the condition that Washington receives a
00:08:0325% cut the revenue. He's calling the
00:08:07safety warnings a hoax saying the development of AI
00:08:11and data centers. is bigger than oil. the AI
00:08:15debate was sparked last week after anthropic AI
00:08:18researcher quit and then posted viral
00:08:22warning that AI could wipe out humanity within the
00:08:26next decade. we really are on the cusp of a cursive self-improvement as it's called
00:08:30in AI, where AI is used to train new AI, cutting the
00:08:34human out entirely, like robot doesn't have to kick in your door and shoot you.
00:08:37it has to simply destroy the systems that keep us alive in modern
00:08:41society. imagine that all of those systems go down
00:08:44simultaneously, right? that's a mass casualty event.
00:08:48some Hollywood movies such as irobot and the terminator
00:08:52show machines turning against us humans. come with me if you
00:08:56want to live, of course, that's cinematic
00:08:59fiction, but it raises very real questions, will
00:09:03AI safety and regulations be enough to avert
00:09:07the risk it already poses to people.
00:09:10christina shimic. DRT
00:09:13world. Bewear skynet. Well, Bar
00:09:16thready is associate fellow with the high-tech
00:09:20geopolitics program at the Takashila Institution. He says stronger
00:09:24safegards are needed as AI capabilities grow, but concerns
00:09:28about an existential threat may be overstated. Let's find
00:09:31out.
00:09:34We we definitely need more guard rails. There are there's
00:09:37evidence of greater capabilities, especially cyber
00:09:40capabilities, we have seen. that with the recent hugging face
00:09:44attack, we have also seen AI being able to solve math
00:09:47problems which were which are really which have really puzzled us for
00:09:51generations, so you see these new capabilities emerging and
00:09:55and while that is true,
00:09:58i don't agree with the with the characterization of
00:10:02existential risk to humanity, so these are tools that are
00:10:06going to be used by humans and maybe it gives
00:10:10malicious actors abilities to carry out these attacks,
00:10:14but this this idea
00:10:17that AI is becoming sentient or is
00:10:21becoming more capable and will take actions against humans.
00:10:25that i don't think is is still justified,
00:10:28so you we definitely need guard rails, you need different layers of
00:10:32protection, and one them might be kill switch in case of
00:10:36incidents like the ones we've seen, so you need
00:10:39better testing, you need third party, red teaming, all these
00:10:43different guard rails which will help build trust in the system
00:10:47as well, so but nothing to indicate
00:10:50that we are a point when AI is
00:10:52becoming you
00:10:56sentient or is causing an existential risk to humans
00:10:59itself. now to Nigeria where
00:11:03uber has ended 12 years of operations shutting down with
00:11:06immediate effect on September 2nd. the exit is part of a global
00:11:10restructuring that has also seen the company withdraw from Uganda. for thousands
00:11:14of drivers, it could mean an abrupt loss of income as Akin
00:11:18Alaka reports from Lagos.
00:11:22If has been driving for Uber since 20.
00:11:252018, the federal f has built most of his
00:11:29household income around this road and this
00:11:31up, this week the app went
00:11:35dark without notice, the major challenge
00:11:38there, the the income that was that used to
00:11:41come with not coming the way used to come,
00:11:44you know everything will at least if you are getting
00:11:4870%, now it will be going
00:11:50to be 45%, efan is not alone,
00:11:54dispatch rider on this route describe years of running the
00:11:58numbers just to break even. we buy foil
00:12:01very course and seriously as we don't
00:12:05have anything to do that's why we are just using it because we don't have any
00:12:09option but at least sometime we don't have any
00:12:13profit much. uber's exit comes as a company
00:12:16restructures globally cutting about 10% of its
00:12:20workforce while reviewing its investment. this
00:12:23particular exit of Uber was born out of two things,
00:12:27their global strategy and of course how easy it was considering
00:12:31the complaints that were coming from drivers with regards to fairs
00:12:35and all of that that tied into or you know just made it much more
00:12:39easy to do what they wanted to do from a global
00:12:43standpoint. Uber's rivers face many
00:12:47the same pressures, but bolds has adapted eight
00:12:51pricing to the local market, while indrive allows
00:12:55drivers and passengers to negotiate first
00:12:57directly. Uber may have left Nigeria,
00:13:01but the rose it wants help drivers navigate, are still
00:13:05busy. For drivers like efan, the challenge is to find
00:13:08another way to make living a market where competition
00:13:12is fears, costs arising and the platform the ones
00:13:16paid, some the bills is no longer there.
00:13:20The exit could also reshape Nigeria's right healing
00:13:23market. competitors will be able to absorb the riders,
00:13:27increase their market share, have more drivers that
00:13:30you know they can deploy to carrying out this particular ride healing
00:13:34business. the bigger question for former Uber drivers
00:13:38is what replaces their income and how
00:13:40soon. TRT World,
00:13:44Lagus. Thailand is the tighten its
00:13:48visa- free entry rules from Tuesday September 15th by reducing
00:13:52the maximum stay for foreign visitors from 60 days. to 30, it's a
00:13:55move aimed at tackling concerns over foreigners using touris status for
00:13:59long-term stays and unauthorized work, but it's also raising
00:14:03questions about the industry, about how the shorter stays could impact
00:14:07hotels and businesses. Tommy Walker has more from
00:14:10Bangkok. Thailand
00:14:14is one the world's major tourism destinations, welcoming the record
00:14:17nearly 40 million international visitors in 2019 before
00:14:21the COVID-19 pandemic brought the industry to near. stand
00:14:25still. In July 2024, Thailand expanded visa
00:14:29free stairs from 30 to 60 days to attract travelers back
00:14:33and encourage them to stay and spend for longer. And Bangkok alone
00:14:37was named the world's most visited city by Euromoneter International, year
00:14:41later, attracting around 30 million international visitors. The
00:14:45average lent of stay for eight tourist
00:14:48by the stript definition in Thailand, is about a little bit
00:14:52around eight or nine days. Hi. profile incidents of
00:14:56public disorder, violence and tourists breaking local laws and
00:15:00social media have fueled calls for tighter enforcement as
00:15:03officials try to balance welcoming millions of visitors with protecting
00:15:07local communities and Thailand's reputation as safe
00:15:11destination. Nan pontip works for
00:15:15Chakrit Myite High School in Bangkok. She thinks the behavior from
00:15:19some tourists has caused the 30-day visa free limit to
00:15:22return. I feel so sorry I'm not. don't know why
00:15:26the they change i think a lot the
00:15:29people come to thailand sorry now some
00:15:32people not good
00:15:34for thailand you understand both local
00:15:38and international customers to train in its traditional gym, often
00:15:42for months a time. With the new changes to the 60-day visa,
00:15:46she admits it may impact business going forward. The school
00:15:50has already seen a 20% decrease in customers this year because of
00:15:53external factors such as fewer flights and visitors entering Thailand
00:15:57due to the rising costs because the conflict in the Middle East. Isaac
00:16:01Tike says his one-year stint in the country has opened doors for him, but he
00:16:05could have missed out on an opportunity to... rainway tie for an extended period
00:16:09and the offer to compete a semi-professional fight in the tie capital with a
00:16:13shorter stair. I kept training and kept training, kept training and then a fight got
00:16:17offered, so it kind of just rolled into what it is now, but
00:16:21again it kind of goes back to the time. If I was here a shorter time frame
00:16:24or like based on how the the visa could be or how
00:16:28it is, that wouldn't be possible. Thailand is very much open
00:16:31to the world, but return of shorter visa free stays
00:16:35alongside or... subtle policy changes and
00:16:39tighter enforcement could allow authorities to strike a
00:16:43balance between encouraging tourism and
00:16:46tackling any misbehaving visitors. Tommy
00:16:50Walker, TRT World, Bangkok,
00:16:54Thailand.
00:17:02Okay, well global stock markets remain under pressure as pullback from tax
00:17:06shares adds to. terms over tight energy supplies and the inflation
00:17:09outlook, well oil prices held near
00:17:13multi-month highs with Brent Crude at around $107
00:17:16a barrel and rising 3% on Monday. now disruptions linked to the shutdown of
00:17:20Saudi Arabia's east-west oil pipeline are keeping pressure on global
00:17:24supplies. industry sources say stocks at the kingdom's yanboo
00:17:28terminal could last just five to seven days while repairs could take up to
00:17:32six weeks. now those energy supply concerns are also weighing on broader
00:17:36market sentiment and electronics and semiconductor stocks across soll
00:17:39tipe bow the brunt the selling as traders aggressively
00:17:43sold risk assets in favor of bonds. now the weakness reflects
00:17:47growing AI safety fears and doubts over whether the rapid spending
00:17:50on AI infrastructure can continue. investors are now
00:17:54turning their attention to Wednesday's federal reserve meeting with hotter than
00:17:58expected US inflation boosting expectations of race
00:18:02hike. markets are pricing in more than an 85% chance
00:18:06of a 25 basis increase, it would be the fed's first
00:18:10rate hike since mid-2023. Well, Tim
00:18:13Waltra is the chief market analyst at KCM Trade and he
00:18:17says that elevated oil prices and rising bond yiels are
00:18:21putting downward pressure on equities. Take a listen. A lot of forces
00:18:25at play at the moment, hard to know where to look, but it's really that combination of
00:18:29high oil and high bond yields. That's a bit of
00:18:33red flag for risk assets such as stocks at the moment, given
00:18:37what the... say about the inflation outlook and by extension monetary
00:18:40policy and how that may impact growth a corporate and economic level moving
00:18:44forward, so not a lot of good news for stock markets right
00:18:48now, i think - traders like to see a little bit of a pressure released
00:18:52in terms of that oil price and or bond yields to get some momentum
00:18:55back, so guess a lot will come down to this week uh what message we get from the
00:18:59federal reserve and where they leaning on the haukish or dovish side as to
00:19:03whether stocks can regain their mojo again and
00:19:07now some other stories that we're looking from around the world, well the Panama
00:19:10Canal is cutting daily shipping traffic again as Elnino
00:19:14threatens to reduce the waterway of water. Authorities will
00:19:18reduce daily passage to average of 29 a
00:19:22day to conserve supply for the lock system. The restriction
00:19:26hits key artery handling 5% of global trade, which is
00:19:30already under heavy pressure from rerooted maritime traffic. Now officials
00:19:33warn this years where the pattern could be the strongest. for
00:19:37decades. The US has imposed new sanctions
00:19:41on Russia's VTB bank accusing it of helping Iran with billions of dollars in
00:19:45frozen assets. Washington says the lender also expanded its presence in
00:19:49Iran and built ties with sanctioned Iranian banks. VTB was already
00:19:53under US sanctions since 2022, limiting its access to the
00:19:57American financial system. And Japan has recorded
00:20:01more than 100,000 centurions for the first time in its
