00:01:47,719 –> 00:01:52,439
From developing innovative platforms to building vibrant online communities, you

27
00:01:52,480 –> 00:01:56,040
are demonstrating the determination that is redefining what is possible

28
00:01:56,079 –> 00:01:59,159
for this country. You are not waiting for the future,

29
00:01:59,519 –> 00:02:03,040
you are building it. Digital media is now a central

30
00:02:03,159 –> 00:02:08,240
driver of economic growth, civic engagement and social change. It

31
00:02:08,319 –> 00:02:13,000

disinformation and cyber threats. Chief of Staff to the President,

38
00:02:38,639 –> 00:02:42,120

Nigeria determined to reach for the stars. Under President Tanubu’s leadership,

40
00:02:48,039 –> 00:02:51,479
our nation has begun its long delayed march toward greatness.

41
00:02:52,199 –> 00:02:55,960

00:03:03,919 –> 00:03:07,719
significance of the summit. He noted that lessons from recent

45
00:03:07,800 –> 00:03:11,199
elections in countries like the U S and Germany underscore

46
00:03:11,280 –> 00:03:16,120
how digital media have become crucial battlegrounds beyond mere entertainment

47
00:03:16,560 –> 00:03:21,120
for shaping pole outcomes. However, social media is not a

48
00:03:21,120 –> 00:03:25,039
fair battleground. As a public square, it is often chaotic

49
00:03:25,080 –> 00:03:30,560
and unregulated. Uses frequently disregard rules divisive content. In line

50
00:03:30,599 –> 00:03:33,759

58
00:03:58,960 –> 00:04:01,599

want to have high blood pressure, adding that the Super

140
00:09:26,759 –> 00:09:30,080

141
00:09:30,120 –> 00:09:33,559

the super Falcons on Monday could be seen singing, praising

145
00:09:44,600 –> 00:09:48,080
and dancing with the First Lady, Honaremi Tanubu, by thus

146
00:09:48,159 –> 00:09:52,039
reversing the negativity of the popular viral song of naw

147
00:09:52,120 –> 00:09:55,759
your Mamma be this to nah Mamma be this to

148
00:09:55,879 –> 00:09:58,080
accept the First Lady as the mother of all in

149
00:09:58,159 –> 00:10:01,320
the nation, which could be recalled that earlier in the year,

150
00:10:01,679 –> 00:10:05,639
specifically in the month of March, the First Lady, Senator

151
00:10:05,639 –> 00:10:09,080
Honremi Tanoubu, was at the Dome Events Centre in Asada

152
00:10:09,240 –> 00:10:12,919
in Delta State as part of her Renewed Hope Initiative project,

153
00:10:13,039 –> 00:10:16,559
and during her visit, a video clip of nigeria nursing

154
00:10:16,679 –> 00:10:19,879
students rejecting the First Lady as the mother of all

155
00:10:19,919 –> 00:10:22,879
in the nation went viral and became a popular song

156
00:10:22,919 –> 00:10:26,320
that was remixed by many to their desired tastes and lyrics.

157
00:10:26,600 –> 00:10:29,919
After the viral clip showed the events master of ceremony

158
00:10:30,120 –> 00:10:33,799
barely ten days after Israeli soldiers bombed the Holy Family

159
00:10:33,840 –> 00:10:38,200
Catholic Church in Gaza, Benjamin Natanyahu, the State of Israel

160
00:10:38,279 –> 00:10:41,679
Prime Minister, has said that Israel is now being portrayed

161
00:10:41,720 –> 00:10:45,240
as the enemy of Christians, stating that Israel has a

162
00:10:45,240 –> 00:10:49,320
thriving Christian community, the only thriving Christian community in the

163
00:10:49,320 –> 00:10:53,240
broad radius of the Middle East. Where Christians are not tolerated,

164
00:10:53,559 –> 00:10:57,679
they’re cherished, adding you can like Christmas trees in Nazareth,

165
00:10:58,120 –> 00:11:01,879
but in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus. When Israel left

166
00:11:01,919 –> 00:11:05,840
and the Palestinian authority came in, the Christian majority shrank

167
00:11:05,919 –> 00:11:08,960
from eighty percent to under twenty percent because there was

168
00:11:09,000 –> 00:11:13,000
no more Israel to protect them. Though Prime Minister Benjamin

169
00:11:13,080 –> 00:11:16,559
Natanyahu did not mention the bombing of the Catholic Church

170
00:11:16,720 –> 00:11:19,399
in Gaza that led to the killing of three persons

171
00:11:19,399 –> 00:11:23,039
and injuring to several people, including the parish priest, it

172
00:11:23,080 –> 00:11:26,759
could be recalled that the Israel Defense Forces idf action

173
00:11:26,919 –> 00:11:31,200
against the Christian Holy place in Gaza sparked global condemnations,

174
00:11:31,519 –> 00:11:34,720
with the head of the Catholic Church, Popelio the fourteenth,

175
00:11:34,720 –> 00:11:38,639
in a statement on Sunday, July twentieth, twenty twenty five,

176
00:11:38,879 –> 00:11:42,519
while speaking after his Angelus prayer, read out the names

177
00:11:42,559 –> 00:11:45,799
of those killed in the incident and said, I appealed

178
00:11:45,840 –> 00:11:49,919
to the international community to observe humanitarian law and respect

179
00:11:49,960 –> 00:11:53,399
the obligation to protect civilians, as well as the prohibition

180
00:11:53,519 –> 00:11:57,320
of collective punishment of indiscriminate use of force and force

181
00:11:57,399 –> 00:12:01,639
displacement of the population. Being a church event. On Sunday,

182
00:12:02,000 –> 00:12:06,440
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while speaking at the Daystars Together

183
00:12:06,480 –> 00:12:10,399
as One event in Jerusalem with Pastor Paula White, leader

184
00:12:10,440 –> 00:12:13,600
of the White House Faith Office, said Iran is now

185
00:12:13,639 –> 00:12:17,159
being projected as the friend of the Americans. Word to

186
00:12:17,240 –> 00:12:21,240
word of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech, as transcribed and

187
00:12:21,279 –> 00:12:24,279
made available by the Office of the Israel Prime Minister

188
00:12:24,440 –> 00:12:29,360
on Sunday, reads below. Thank you Joni, thank you Daystar,

189
00:12:29,799 –> 00:12:33,039
thank you Paula, thank you ambassadors and the many friends

190
00:12:33,080 –> 00:12:36,399
of Israel. In the Christian world. This is the city

191
00:12:36,440 –> 00:12:39,799
in the land where it all began, the Judeo Christian

192
00:12:39,840 –> 00:12:43,679
tradition that promoted the belief in monotheism, a single God,

193
00:12:44,080 –> 00:12:47,039
that developed the idea of the sanctity of life, the

194
00:12:47,120 –> 00:12:51,360
sanctity of individual life, the idea of freedom. In an

195
00:12:51,360 –> 00:12:54,440
ancient world that was swamped with massive slavery to build

196
00:12:54,480 –> 00:12:57,759
these ancient empires, the Jewish people came out with the

197
00:12:57,840 –> 00:13:02,080
idea that slavery should be limited and ultimately removed. This

198
00:13:02,320 –> 00:13:05,960
was revolutionary. The beginning of the idea of freedom began

199
00:13:06,080 –> 00:13:09,679
in this land, and that idea spread throughout the centuries

200
00:13:09,720 –> 00:13:13,759
and especially in modern times, and changed the world. It

201
00:13:13,840 –> 00:13:17,360
gives hope to the world. It gives meaning to our lives.

202
00:13:17,840 –> 00:13:21,240
It gives a bond between the world’s greatest democracy, the

203
00:13:21,399 –> 00:13:25,080
United States of America, and the world’s vibrant democracy here

204
00:13:25,080 –> 00:13:28,919
in Israel. And that’s a partnership that is bonded in faith,

205
00:13:29,200 –> 00:13:33,000
in history, in tradition. I had the great privilege of

206
00:13:33,039 –> 00:13:35,559
being invited to speak at the Joint Session of the

207
00:13:35,600 –> 00:13:39,120
American Congress, and I look on the wall and I

208
00:13:39,240 –> 00:13:43,440
see a quote from Moses. That’s our common tradition, our

209
00:13:43,519 –> 00:13:47,120
common well spring. We’re immersed in the Bible, we live

210
00:13:47,200 –> 00:13:50,200
the Bible. We have a future because we have a past,

211
00:13:50,639 –> 00:13:54,080
and that past is shared by millions, hundreds of millions

212
00:13:54,120 –> 00:13:57,120
around the world. And I want to thank you on

213
00:13:57,200 –> 00:13:59,960
behalf of the people of Israel and the Jewish People

214
00:14:00,200 –> 00:14:03,720
Royal Thai Army in the Cambodia National Ministry of Defense

215
00:14:03,799 –> 00:14:07,519
have both denied firing the ten projectiles that destroyed civilian

216
00:14:07,559 –> 00:14:11,200
houses and properties at Emerald Triangle, a city in Now

217
00:14:11,279 –> 00:14:15,399
on Thursday, just as both government establishments confirmed early in

218
00:14:15,440 –> 00:14:19,279
the morning on Sunday that fighting continued through Saturday night

219
00:14:19,360 –> 00:14:22,879
to Sunday morning night, despite President Donald Trump of the

220
00:14:23,000 –> 00:14:26,519
United States u S statement on Saturday that he has

221
00:14:26,559 –> 00:14:30,279
spoken on phone with both the Prime Minister of Cambodia

222
00:14:30,360 –> 00:14:34,000
and the acting Prime Minister of Thailand, asking the two

223
00:14:34,039 –> 00:14:37,200
parties to agree on immediate cease fire, and failure to

224
00:14:37,240 –> 00:14:40,840
do so, according to Trump, US will not make any

225
00:14:40,840 –> 00:14:44,840
business deal with both countries. In his words, Trump said,

226
00:14:45,159 –> 00:14:49,039
we happen to be by coincidents currently dealing on trade

227
00:14:49,120 –> 00:14:51,799
with both countries, but do not want to make any

228
00:14:51,840 –> 00:14:55,120
deal with either country if they are fighting, and I

229
00:14:55,200 –> 00:14:58,159
have told them so. The call with Thailand is being

230
00:14:58,200 –> 00:15:02,159
made momentarily. The call within Cambodia has ended, but expect

231
00:15:02,200 –> 00:15:05,559
to call back regarding war stoppage and cease fire based

232
00:15:05,679 –> 00:15:08,840
on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to

233
00:15:08,919 –> 00:15:12,799
simplify a complex situation. Many people are being killed in

234
00:15:12,840 –> 00:15:15,519
this war, but it very much reminds me of the

235
00:15:15,559 –> 00:15:19,159
conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a

236
00:15:19,200 –> 00:15:23,399
successful hault. The Lao government had on Friday reported that

237
00:15:23,480 –> 00:15:27,240
ten bombs were found having been fired into civilian areas

238
00:15:27,279 –> 00:15:30,960
and affecting local residents in the Emerald Triangle, a town

239
00:15:31,000 –> 00:15:34,919
in Lao that borders both Lao, Thailand and Cambodia. A

240
00:15:35,039 –> 00:15:38,840
statement from the Lao People’s Armed Forces on Saturday afternoon

241
00:15:38,919 –> 00:15:43,200
refuted earlier media reports claiming clashes between the Lao People’s

242
00:15:43,320 –> 00:15:48,759
Armed Forces and Cambodian armed personnel, describing the reports as untrue,

243
00:15:48,799 –> 00:15:52,080
denying the shelling in Lao. The Royal Thailand Army in

244
00:15:52,120 –> 00:15:55,919
a statement on Saturday, said that the Royal Thai Army

245
00:15:55,960 –> 00:16:00,159
clarifies case of artillery shells landing in Laopidi Are territory

246
00:16:00,240 –> 00:16:04,399
in Emerald Triangle area, confirms investigation found they were not

247
00:16:04,519 –> 00:16:09,120
Thai forces ammunition. According to news reports, on the twenty

248
00:16:09,159 –> 00:16:13,559
fourth of July twenty twenty five, at approximately nine forty hours,

249
00:16:13,960 –> 00:16:17,039
ten artillery shells landed in the territory of the Lao

250
00:16:17,080 –> 00:16:22,440
People’s Democratic Republic LAOPDR in the Emerald Triangle area, which

251
00:16:22,480 –> 00:16:27,000
is the border junction between Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, without

252
00:16:27,080 –> 00:16:30,000
clear confirmation as to which side the shells belonged to,

253
00:16:30,519 –> 00:16:33,919
and preliminarily there were no reports of casualties or property

254
00:16:34,000 –> 00:16:39,320
damage from the incident. Major General Wintai Suburi Army spokesperson

255
00:16:39,679 –> 00:16:44,799
issued a clarification that following fact finding investigations and coordination

256
00:16:45,000 –> 00:16:48,919
with security agencies of the Lao PDR, it is confirmed

257
00:16:48,919 –> 00:16:51,600
that they were definitely not shells from the Thai military

258
00:16:51,639 –> 00:16:54,919
side and the Royal Thai Army has confidence in its

259
00:16:54,960 –> 00:17:00,840
capability to control weapon usage effectively, appropriately, proportionately, and strictly

260
00:17:00,879 –> 00:17:05,720
within international rules of engagement. However, in the recent period,

261
00:17:06,079 –> 00:17:08,960
it has often been found that the Cambodian side has

262
00:17:09,000 –> 00:17:12,960
been using long range fire support weapons to attack numerous

263
00:17:12,960 –> 00:17:16,880
civilian targets throughout the past two days, which appears to

264
00:17:16,920 –> 00:17:20,480
be intentional and deliberate use of such weapons against targets

265
00:17:20,519 –> 00:17:24,400
other than military objectives, such as using weapons against historical

266
00:17:24,440 –> 00:17:28,720
sites aiming to significantly mislead the international community against the

267
00:17:28,799 –> 00:17:32,799
Thai side. Asia is apparently becoming a continent of war

268
00:17:32,839 –> 00:17:35,880
as hope of achieving peace in the continent appeared slim

269
00:17:35,960 –> 00:17:39,039
since twenty twenty three, when fresh wars broke out in

270
00:17:39,119 –> 00:17:43,200
the Middle East Asia after Hamas attacked Israel, forcing Israel

271
00:17:43,279 –> 00:17:47,920
to launch a multifront wars in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran,

272
00:17:48,000 –> 00:17:50,559
and Yemen. This occurred as Russia, that has parts of

273
00:17:50,599 –> 00:17:54,039
its territory in Asia, had in twenty twenty two launched

274
00:17:54,079 –> 00:17:58,960
a full scale war against its neighboring European country Ukraine,

275
00:17:59,000 –> 00:18:01,960
which the multiple war have led to millions of deaths,

276
00:18:02,279 –> 00:18:05,000
with many in the world expecting an end soon. But

277
00:18:05,480 –> 00:18:08,000
while many in the world hoped for permanent end to

278
00:18:08,039 –> 00:18:11,119
the deadly wars, another fresh war broke out during the

279
00:18:11,119 –> 00:18:14,960
week on Thursday in the Southeast Asia between Cambodia and

280
00:18:15,039 –> 00:18:19,640
Thailand after soldiers from Royal Thai Army of fourteenth Infantry

281
00:18:19,680 –> 00:18:24,000
Battalion on Wednesday stepped on a landmine at Huaibon chong

282
00:18:24,079 –> 00:18:28,400
En Ma nam Yuen District, Uban Ratchathani Province within the

283
00:18:28,440 –> 00:18:33,200
Thai Cambodia border area, causing severe injury to one Thailand soldier,

284
00:18:33,319 –> 00:18:37,599
while four other soldiers sustained some level of injuries, making

285
00:18:37,640 –> 00:18:41,400
the acting Prime Minister of Thailand fun from WHICHII to

286
00:18:41,440 –> 00:18:45,680
recall the country’s ambassador from PanAm Pen and expelled Cambodia’s

287
00:18:45,720 –> 00:18:50,160
ambassador to Thailand, leading to heavy military confrontations starting next

288
00:18:50,240 –> 00:18:54,920
day morning, which Cambodian News Agency on Saturday reported the

289
00:18:54,960 –> 00:19:00,240
tens of thousands of innocent Cambodians, including children, pregnant women

290
00:19:00,319 –> 00:19:02,880
and the elderly, have been forced to flee the military

291
00:19:02,880 –> 00:19:08,319
aggression along the border areas including Pria, Vihir, Odaminchi and Persit,

292
00:19:08,680 –> 00:19:11,839
and The Royal Thai Army also on Saturday released a

293
00:19:11,920 –> 00:19:14,680
video of its men hoisting the Thai flag at a

294
00:19:14,680 –> 00:19:18,319
location and stated that the Thai national flag was raised

295
00:19:18,319 –> 00:19:22,640
atop Fu Maquaya following Thai military operations to assault and

296
00:19:22,720 –> 00:19:26,079
seize the Fu Maquaa area, where it said the Cambodian

297
00:19:26,160 –> 00:19:29,440
forces had been heavily positioned, adding that the area was

298
00:19:29,480 –> 00:19:33,519
successfully captured during the evening of war on Friday. While

299
00:19:33,519 –> 00:19:36,960
the Prime Minister of Thailand, Pitong Tan Shinawat, who is

300
00:19:37,000 –> 00:19:40,279
currently on suspension, blamed the cause of the war on

301
00:19:40,359 –> 00:19:45,319
alleged powerful criminals in Cambodia, saying the conflict stems from

302
00:19:45,359 –> 00:19:49,359
the Thai government’s efforts to crack down on call center crimes,

303
00:19:49,400 –> 00:19:53,920
dismantling a network of immense financial interests linked to influential

304
00:19:53,960 –> 00:19:59,319
groups in Cambodia. Notwithstanding, the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Sandek

305
00:19:59,359 –> 00:20:02,839
Moha borva A Thapadai han Mane, in a statement called

306
00:20:02,920 –> 00:20:07,160
on Cambodians not to attack businesses and citizens of Thailand

307
00:20:07,240 –> 00:20:10,759
living in Cambodia, adding that after the Prime Minister of

308
00:20:10,839 –> 00:20:14,400
Malaysia and the rotating Chairman of Azian and While Ibrahim

309
00:20:14,440 –> 00:20:17,799
intervened in the matter on Thursday, both countries agreed to

310
00:20:17,839 –> 00:20:20,920
a cease fire slated to start on Friday by twelve

311
00:20:21,000 –> 00:20:25,079
a m. But an hour after Malaysia Prime minister told

312
00:20:25,160 –> 00:20:29,079
him that Thailand has agreed to the ceasefire, Thailand rescinded

313
00:20:29,079 –> 00:20:34,079
its decision and continued military actions against Cambodia and The Cambodia.

314
00:20:34,160 –> 00:20:38,799
Ministry of National Defense spokesperson Lieutenant General Mainly Sokita, in

315
00:20:38,839 –> 00:20:43,160
an operational updates on Saturday, said that Thailand has continued

316
00:20:43,200 –> 00:20:47,920
to expand its military, including its infantry forces heavy weaponry

317
00:20:47,960 –> 00:20:52,240
into Cambodia territory. According to the Thailand military, known as

318
00:20:52,359 –> 00:20:56,279
Royal Thai Army, the Royal Thai Army condemns the Cambodian

319
00:20:56,440 –> 00:20:59,960
side for the incident involving the covered placement of land mines.
