00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:04,919
Speaker 1: Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski has continued to make phone calls

2
00:00:04,960 –> 00:00:08,320
with world leaders since President Donald Trump of the United

3
00:00:08,359 –> 00:00:12,320
States US announced that President Vladimir Putin of Russia will

4
00:00:12,359 –> 00:00:14,960
meet with him next week Friday in the U S

5
00:00:14,960 –> 00:00:18,679
state of Alaska, and stated, while answering questions from the

6
00:00:18,719 –> 00:00:21,239
White House reporters, that there will be some swapping of

7
00:00:21,359 –> 00:00:25,440
territories to the vetterment of both Ukraine and Russia, specifically

8
00:00:25,480 –> 00:00:28,239
saying we will get some back and we will get

9
00:00:28,280 –> 00:00:30,879
some switched. There will be some swapping of territories to

10
00:00:30,920 –> 00:00:34,280
the vetterment of both, a statement that immediately and apparently

11
00:00:34,359 –> 00:00:38,479
drew the attention of the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski, who

12
00:00:38,520 –> 00:00:42,159
have issued series of video and written press releases since

13
00:00:42,280 –> 00:00:46,399
President Donald Trump made the announcement, insisting that Ukraine will

14
00:00:46,439 –> 00:00:48,920
not see any of its territory to Russia for the

15
00:00:48,960 –> 00:00:52,280
purpose of peace or to end the war, emphasizing that

16
00:00:52,600 –> 00:00:56,399
it was because President Putin occupied part of ukraine territory

17
00:00:56,479 –> 00:01:00,280
in the past and assembled its troops Ukrainian borders without

18
00:01:00,320 –> 00:01:04,159
preventive punishment made him to start full scale war with

19
00:01:04,319 –> 00:01:08,040
Ukraine since twenty twenty two, adding that the path to

20
00:01:08,079 –> 00:01:11,840
piece for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine. This

21
00:01:12,000 –> 00:01:15,319
is fundamental. It is important that joint approaches and a

22
00:01:15,400 –> 00:01:20,719
shared vision work toward genuine peace, a consolidated position, cease fire,

23
00:01:21,040 –> 00:01:25,400
end of occupation, end of war. According to Trump, the

24
00:01:25,519 –> 00:01:29,719
highly anticipated meeting between myself as President of the United

25
00:01:29,760 –> 00:01:34,159
States of America and President Vladimir Putin of Russia will

26
00:01:34,200 –> 00:01:38,239
take place next Friday, August fifteenth, twenty twenty five, in

27
00:01:38,319 –> 00:01:42,599
the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow. Thank

28
00:01:42,680 –> 00:01:45,719
you for your attention to this matter. Zelenski, in a

29
00:01:45,799 –> 00:01:49,599
series of press releases on Saturday, said, I have not

30
00:01:49,719 –> 00:01:53,400
heard any partners express doubts about America’s ability to ensure

31
00:01:53,400 –> 00:01:57,040
that the war ends. The President of the United States

32
00:01:57,120 –> 00:02:01,239
has the levers and the Determinationine has supported all of

33
00:02:01,319 –> 00:02:06,959
President Trump’s proposals, starting back in February. Cease fire, all

34
00:02:07,079 –> 00:02:10,400
formats have been supported. What is needed now is not

35
00:02:10,439 –> 00:02:13,759
a pause in the killings, but a real, lasting peace,

36
00:02:14,560 –> 00:02:17,719
not a cease fire sometime in the future, in months,

37
00:02:17,960 –> 00:02:22,360
but immediately. President Trump told me so, and I fully

38
00:02:22,400 –> 00:02:25,240
support it. There must be a just end to the war,

39
00:02:25,599 –> 00:02:27,560
and it is Russia that must end the war it

40
00:02:27,639 –> 00:02:31,759
started Ukraine and all partners share the same understanding of

41
00:02:31,800 –> 00:02:34,120
the need for a cease fire, for an end to

42
00:02:34,159 –> 00:02:38,439
the killings. There is only one actor opposing this, Puten.

43
00:02:38,919 –> 00:02:41,639
His only card is the ability to kill, and he

44
00:02:41,719 –> 00:02:44,120
is trying to sell the cessation of killings at the

45
00:02:44,199 –> 00:02:47,919
highest possible price. It is important that this does not

46
00:02:48,039 –> 00:02:51,319
mislead any one. Results are needed at the leader’s level,

47
00:02:51,719 –> 00:02:55,759
dignified results, results that will save lives that the world

48
00:02:55,759 –> 00:02:58,199
will value and for which it will be grateful to

49
00:02:58,240 –> 00:03:02,840
the leader who delivers them. Every One clearly sees Putin’s tactics.

50
00:03:03,280 –> 00:03:06,520
He fears sanctions and is doing everything to bail on them.

51
00:03:06,919 –> 00:03:09,479
He wants to exchange a pause in the war in

52
00:03:09,560 –> 00:03:13,120
the killings for the legalization of the occupation of our land.

53
00:03:13,599 –> 00:03:16,560
He wants to get territorial spoils. For the second time,

54
00:03:17,360 –> 00:03:20,280
Putin was allowed to take Crimea and this led to

55
00:03:20,319 –> 00:03:24,639
the occupation in Duniesk and Luhansk regions. He received no

56
00:03:24,800 –> 00:03:28,680
preventive punishment when he amassed a contingent on our borders.

57
00:03:29,120 –> 00:03:32,240
This led to the full Nigeria Police Force has refuted

58
00:03:32,280 –> 00:03:36,560
claims that its men man handled Sahara a reporter’s publisher,

59
00:03:36,919 –> 00:03:40,840
Armiele Sir ware inside cell after the media personnel honored

60
00:03:40,879 –> 00:03:44,080
the invitation sent him from the Office of the Inspector

61
00:03:44,199 –> 00:03:48,360
General of Police IGP over allegations of forgery and criminal

62
00:03:48,400 –> 00:03:51,800
defamation of characters, with the police stating in a press

63
00:03:51,840 –> 00:03:55,439
release signed and made available after the detained media publisher

64
00:03:55,599 –> 00:03:58,759
was released on Friday night that Sir Warey allegedly brought

65
00:03:58,840 –> 00:04:02,520
bandages alongside other personal items when he came to the

66
00:04:02,560 –> 00:04:06,080
station to honour the police invitation and when the IGP

67
00:04:06,319 –> 00:04:10,639
ordered internal investigation to ascertain if truly the media publisher

68
00:04:10,840 –> 00:04:14,719
was tortured as claimed, Saware refused to allow medical personnel

69
00:04:14,800 –> 00:04:18,199
from the Nigeria Police Force checked the alleged injury on

70
00:04:18,279 –> 00:04:20,920
his hand he had claimed he suffered as a result

71
00:04:20,959 –> 00:04:25,560
of the police personnel brutality while inside cell. Meanwhile, as

72
00:04:25,600 –> 00:04:29,600
at the time Saware was released on Friday night, bandages

73
00:04:29,680 –> 00:04:32,199
were still seen wrapped around one of his hands a

74
00:04:32,279 –> 00:04:34,839
scene in the video while he was coming out from

75
00:04:34,879 –> 00:04:40,319
the IGP Rapid Response Team IRT police detention facilities in Abuja.

76
00:04:40,399 –> 00:04:44,120
As stated by Saware in the video. Shortly after his

77
00:04:44,199 –> 00:04:48,399
release from detention facilities at the IGP Rapid Response Team.

78
00:04:48,480 –> 00:04:52,319
On Friday, Saware posted on his social media handles and

79
00:04:52,399 –> 00:04:56,000
said that freedom is never given. It is not a

80
00:04:56,040 –> 00:04:59,279
gift from the powerful, nor a token handed down by

81
00:04:59,319 –> 00:05:03,600
the oppressor. It must be seized with raw courage, with clarity,

82
00:05:03,879 –> 00:05:07,279
and with collective will. Those who sit in power never

83
00:05:07,360 –> 00:05:10,319
give it up willingly. That’s why we take it back,

84
00:05:10,639 –> 00:05:13,480
because freedom is ours and we will fight until it

85
00:05:13,519 –> 00:05:17,199
is no longer a dream but a lived reality. Nigeria

86
00:05:17,279 –> 00:05:20,480
Police Force, in a statement issued on August eighth, twenty

87
00:05:20,560 –> 00:05:24,160
twenty five, and made available to the public, said the

88
00:05:24,279 –> 00:05:27,920
Nigeria Police Forces compelled to address and decisively correct the

89
00:05:27,959 –> 00:05:31,399
recent wave of disinformation being peddled in connection with the

90
00:05:31,480 –> 00:05:35,439
lawful arrest and attention of mister on the Yale Saware,

91
00:05:35,959 –> 00:05:40,040
a figure known for manipulating public narratives and weaponizing propaganda

92
00:05:40,079 –> 00:05:44,199
to malign state institutions and their leadership, particularly the Office

93
00:05:44,199 –> 00:05:48,279
of the Inspector General of Police. Contrary to the falsehoods

94
00:05:48,279 –> 00:05:52,839
being circulated, mister sir Ware was arrested based on credible,

95
00:05:53,160 –> 00:05:58,680
corroborated allegations involving criminal offenses such as forgery, cyberstalking and

96
00:05:58,759 –> 00:06:03,600
other infractions. Currently under active investigation. The arrest was affected

97
00:06:03,639 –> 00:06:07,480
in full compliance with extant legal provisions and with strict

98
00:06:07,480 –> 00:06:11,920
adherents to constitutional safeguards, due process and the rights of

99
00:06:11,959 –> 00:06:16,560
the suspect. To be clear, mister Sirware was released on

100
00:06:16,680 –> 00:06:20,920
bailwell within the forty eight hour constitutional window in accordance

101
00:06:20,959 –> 00:06:24,319
with the provisions of Section thirty five four of the

102
00:06:24,399 –> 00:06:28,279
nineteen ninety nine Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,

103
00:06:28,439 –> 00:06:31,720
as amended. He is fully aware of the nature of

104
00:06:31,759 –> 00:06:34,839
the allegations against him and has been duly informed of

105
00:06:34,879 –> 00:06:38,600
the charges. He is expected to appear before a court

106
00:06:38,639 –> 00:06:41,639
of competent jurisdiction in the coming days to answer to

107
00:06:41,680 –> 00:06:46,639
the accusations in a lawful and transparent judicial process. Equally

108
00:06:46,680 –> 00:06:50,000
false and grossly misleading is the narrative suggesting that mister

109
00:06:50,480 –> 00:06:54,079
Suware was tortured or subjected to any form of inhuman

110
00:06:54,199 –> 00:06:58,639
or degrading treatment while in custody. The Nigeria Police Force

111
00:06:58,720 –> 00:07:02,240
maintains a zero Top human rights activist and founder of

112
00:07:02,319 –> 00:07:07,560
Sahara Reporters News Network, Omila Saware has been reportedly man

113
00:07:07,560 –> 00:07:11,839
handled on Thursday early Warning inside police cell by offices

114
00:07:11,879 –> 00:07:16,199
from the Inspector General of Police IGP Monitoring Unit after

115
00:07:16,240 –> 00:07:19,519
the journalist honored the invitation sent him from the office

116
00:07:19,519 –> 00:07:22,839
of the Inspector General of Police for a reason not stated,

117
00:07:23,199 –> 00:07:26,720
but the media personnel working with Omila Saware, in a

118
00:07:26,759 –> 00:07:31,240
statement on Thursday made available through the verified personal social

119
00:07:31,319 –> 00:07:34,959
media handles of Saware, said that the police presented two

120
00:07:35,040 –> 00:07:39,160
petitions against Sware over alleged forgery and defamation of character,

121
00:07:39,560 –> 00:07:43,680
adding that some police officers from the IGP Monitoring Unit

122
00:07:43,759 –> 00:07:47,360
as early as six a m. On Thursday entered Soware

123
00:07:47,519 –> 00:07:51,399
cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja with alleged

124
00:07:51,439 –> 00:07:54,800
pretense to take the media publisher to court, but when

125
00:07:54,839 –> 00:07:58,079
the journalist demanded to see the charges against him, he

126
00:07:58,199 –> 00:08:01,439
was allegedly handled roughly via a team of armed policemen.

127
00:08:01,839 –> 00:08:05,959
This barrister Addi andju Deji petitioned the President of Nigeria,

128
00:08:06,360 –> 00:08:10,519
Bola Ahmed Tanubu, demanding the immediate dismissal of the IGP

129
00:08:11,199 –> 00:08:15,399
Kyode Eggbetoken, for allegedly abusing his office by thus using

130
00:08:15,439 –> 00:08:19,120
his high ranking office in the Nigeria Police Force to

131
00:08:19,160 –> 00:08:23,199
settle personal scores. Although the Nigeria Police Force has not

132
00:08:23,279 –> 00:08:26,759
reacted to these allegations, but the force in a press

133
00:08:26,800 –> 00:08:30,959
release on Thursday afternoon, apparently made statements in relation to

134
00:08:31,000 –> 00:08:35,679
the current matters involving the detained media publisher Omiyele Saware

135
00:08:36,120 –> 00:08:38,759
by insisting and stating in the press statement that the

136
00:08:38,840 –> 00:08:42,639
recent promotions in the Nigeria Police Force was based on

137
00:08:42,759 –> 00:08:46,840
merit and not selective, accusing an unnamed online platform of

138
00:08:46,879 –> 00:08:51,039
allegedly sponsoring deliberate falsehoods to tarnish the image of the force,

139
00:08:51,399 –> 00:08:54,240
while also calling on offices and men of the force

140
00:08:54,279 –> 00:08:58,120
to desist from lobbying to get promoted, saying the IGP

141
00:08:58,360 –> 00:09:01,000
has warned that any police person as court lobbying to

142
00:09:01,039 –> 00:09:05,480
get promotion will be made to face disciplinary action. According

143
00:09:05,519 –> 00:09:09,240
to the post published via Sware social media handles, the

144
00:09:09,279 –> 00:09:12,480
media team of the publisher said this morning at six

145
00:09:12,559 –> 00:09:15,799
a m. A police team led by a Chief Superintendent

146
00:09:15,879 –> 00:09:20,080
of Police from the IGP Monitoring Unit forcibly gained entry

147
00:09:20,120 –> 00:09:24,840
into omiena Sware cell at the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja,

148
00:09:24,919 –> 00:09:27,639
claiming they were taking him to court. The team of

149
00:09:27,720 –> 00:09:32,240
nine offices, including eight heavily armed personnel, handled Sirwar roughly

150
00:09:32,279 –> 00:09:35,480
when he asked to see the charges and notify his lawyers,

151
00:09:35,879 –> 00:09:39,000
breaking his arm in the process before taking him to

152
00:09:39,080 –> 00:09:43,840
another police facility, the media team stated. In another post,

153
00:09:44,159 –> 00:09:48,559
the media said the notorious former SARS officer, DCP Akin

154
00:09:48,720 –> 00:09:52,240
fakaray Day presented two petitions to SAWARE from the illegal

155
00:09:52,279 –> 00:09:56,080
igp’s office, one alleged forgery and the second written by

156
00:09:56,200 –> 00:10:00,879
Bukolayemis Kuttie, who was promoted to ACP because she’s mistress,

157
00:10:01,240 –> 00:10:06,200
alleges criminal defamation. So Morey had before honoring the police

158
00:10:06,240 –> 00:10:10,000
invitation on Wednesday, said in a number of posts previous

159
00:10:10,080 –> 00:10:14,639
day that the IGP Monitoring Unit has scheduled my interview

160
00:10:14,720 –> 00:10:17,759
for tomorrow at eleven am, yet they have refused to

161
00:10:17,799 –> 00:10:21,399
provide a copy of the purported petition against me. It

162
00:10:21,480 –> 00:10:24,240
is now clear that their intention is to conceal the

163
00:10:24,279 –> 00:10:28,559
sinister plan of the illegal IGP and continue operating in darkness.

164
00:10:29,360 –> 00:10:32,240
Despite this, Anambra is no doubt one of the states

165
00:10:32,279 –> 00:10:36,320
in Nigeria experiencing incessant and very high rates of kidnapping

166
00:10:36,360 –> 00:10:38,600
that in some cases do lead to the death of

167
00:10:38,639 –> 00:10:41,919
the abducted victims and killing of security operatives and some

168
00:10:42,080 –> 00:10:45,360
other persons around the scene of the mostly monetary crimes

169
00:10:45,399 –> 00:10:49,639
of hostage taking for a ransom. Specifically, our crime reporters

170
00:10:49,679 –> 00:10:52,279
gathered that there is hardly no week without one or

171
00:10:52,320 –> 00:10:56,120
two persons being kidnapped along the Innichha, a wary federal

172
00:10:56,240 –> 00:10:59,799
road in an Ambra State, especially between Over community and

173
00:10:59,879 –> 00:11:03,279
d Sala town. As we gathered that most victims of

174
00:11:03,360 –> 00:11:06,639

175
00:11:06,799 –> 00:11:10,159
sized business owners who most of whom struggled out of

176
00:11:10,200 –> 00:11:15,000
poverty to become wealthy successful traders. This we learnt there

177
00:11:15,039 –> 00:11:18,679
may be no wealthy successful business owner along the Ihiala

178
00:11:18,879 –> 00:11:21,399
or who road left to be kidnapped or forced to

179
00:11:21,440 –> 00:11:25,360
pay ransom to the kidnappers, while in Ober, wealthy people

180
00:11:25,399 –> 00:11:28,799
are being kidnapped quietly and ransom in millions are paid

181
00:11:28,919 –> 00:11:32,600
in silence to the kidnappers. According to members of the community,

182
00:11:32,960 –> 00:11:36,519
a young successful businessman was kidnapped recently at a location

183
00:11:36,639 –> 00:11:40,000
between the Ober New Road and Old Road junctions, shortly

184
00:11:40,039 –> 00:11:43,840
after he visited his building construction site. While we also

185
00:11:43,919 –> 00:11:46,320
learned that some people in the state to report or

186
00:11:46,399 –> 00:11:49,399

187
00:11:49,440 –> 00:11:52,279
from the ransom that will be paid afterwards or when

188
00:11:52,399 –> 00:11:55,720
such people have issue or dispute with their friends or

189
00:11:55,759 –> 00:11:58,840
co traders. It may interest you to know that the

Government under the leadership of Governor Charles Chukumasaludo, has said

274
00:17:35,079 –> 00:17:37,759
that the state is currently in search of justice over

275
00:17:37,799 –> 00:17:41,279
the killing of a young and creative fish farmer, Martins

276
00:17:41,279 –> 00:17:44,079
of Fessinachi on Ye k C, well known by his

277
00:17:44,200 –> 00:17:47,559
business name as Fish Magnet, who was reportedly shot on

278
00:17:47,640 –> 00:17:51,079
the leg while being kidnapped on Sunday, the twenty seventh

279
00:17:51,119 –> 00:17:54,559
of July twenty twenty five at his residence in zini

280
00:17:54,599 –> 00:17:58,799
Fite Village, Okuno in Orca, the Enambra State capital. This

281
00:17:59,559 –> 00:18:02,920
doctor j George Mogalu, the Labor Party candidate in the

282
00:18:02,960 –> 00:18:06,160
forthcoming governorship election in the state, said that an Amber

283
00:18:06,319 –> 00:18:10,079
state is no longer safe, adding that people are being killed,

284
00:18:10,440 –> 00:18:13,599
slorted for their families to bury in silence while the

285
00:18:13,640 –> 00:18:17,960
state Governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Saludo, looks the other way

286
00:18:18,359 –> 00:18:23,480
with no sympathy, condolence, visit or statement. Specifically, Mogalu said,

287
00:18:23,920 –> 00:18:27,160
I must speak frankly, an Amber is no longer safe,

288
00:18:27,440 –> 00:18:30,960
not even in the state capital. Our people are being sorted,

289
00:18:31,319 –> 00:18:34,759
kidnapped and buried in silence while the government looks the

290
00:18:34,839 –> 00:18:39,319
other way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently,

291
00:18:39,720 –> 00:18:42,759
we lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at

292
00:18:42,759 –> 00:18:46,519
Amchi no We South local government area. Yet there was

293
00:18:46,559 –> 00:18:49,920
no statement, no condolence, not even a visit from the

294
00:18:49,920 –> 00:18:54,839
state government. Instead we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies.

295
00:18:55,119 –> 00:18:58,599
Where is our conscience? Mogalu stated, while the former lawyer

296
00:18:58,680 –> 00:19:03,279
to Namdi Carlu, the detained Biafra agitation leader, Barrister afany

297
00:19:03,480 –> 00:19:06,119
G four, said the people of the state are currently

298
00:19:06,240 –> 00:19:10,839
romancing with crimes, hiding criminals and painting absurd narratives on

299
00:19:10,960 –> 00:19:15,000
social media to glorify and justify the rising crimes in

300
00:19:15,039 –> 00:19:19,079
the state, saying the most frightening part the reckless energy

301
00:19:19,160 –> 00:19:23,039
our own people expend defending these killers. When you shield

302
00:19:23,200 –> 00:19:26,839
murderers because they are your kinsmen, you emboldenham When you

303
00:19:27,039 –> 00:19:30,799
justify kidnappings under the guise of ethnic pride, you leave

304
00:19:30,880 –> 00:19:34,240
the gates wide open for the real external aggresses like

305
00:19:34,400 –> 00:19:37,680
armed herdsman, whose invasion will come when we are weakest

306
00:19:37,720 –> 00:19:42,640
and most divided. Namra’s State Commissioner for Information Law Mepher

307
00:19:42,720 –> 00:19:45,640
made the government position known on Sunday after he led

308
00:19:45,680 –> 00:19:48,960
other government officials on a condolence visit to the bereaved

309
00:19:49,039 –> 00:19:51,319
mother of the victim, who happened to be the woman

310
00:19:51,400 –> 00:19:55,319
leader of the Enamor’s State All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA.

311
00:19:55,720 –> 00:20:00,559
Missus Esther on Ya KC. According to Punch newspaper, Honaka,

government is in search of justice while sustaining and strengthening

320
00:20:31,839 –> 00:20:35,839
security in the state. Mepha, who maintained that such a

321
00:20:35,920 –> 00:20:39,720
development is an affront to the Professor Chokuma Soludo government’s

322
00:20:39,799 –> 00:20:43,680
new security architecture, also expressed delight that the police are

323
00:20:43,720 –> 00:20:47,519
on the heels of the perpetrators. The Commissioner was quoted

00:21:41,839 –> 00:21:46,440
that create employment, produce content that reflects unifying values, and

339
00:21:46,559 –> 00:21:51,079
serve as positive catalysts for societal development. He emphasized the

340
00:21:51,119 –> 00:21:55,519
critical importance of verifying information before amplifying it at the

341
00:21:55,559 –> 00:22:00,000
opening of the Progressive Digital Media Summit, themed unveiling them

342
00:22:00,119 –> 00:22:04,720
critical role of new media in national development. President Tanoubu said,

343
00:22:05,440 –> 00:22:09,559
your generation has recognized this moment. You are using digital

344
00:22:09,599 –> 00:22:14,480
tools to innovate, educate, and demand accountability. But as your

345
00:22:14,519 –> 00:22:19,039
influence grows, so must our collective sense of purpose and responsibility.

346
00:22:19,759 –> 00:22:23,200
I urge you to continue using digital platforms to advance

347
00:22:23,240 –> 00:22:28,759
our nation’s progress. Build businesses that employ others, create content

348
00:22:28,839 –> 00:22:32,839
that uplifts and unites. Use your influence to foster unity,

349
00:22:33,160 –> 00:22:37,480
not division. He commended the creativity and resilience of Nigeria’s

350
00:22:37,480 –> 00:22:40,599
youth as he described digital media as a driving force

351
00:22:40,640 –> 00:22:44,920
of economic and social transformation. It is no longer merely

352
00:22:44,960 –> 00:22:49,759
an accessory to life, he said. From developing innovative platforms

353
00:22:49,759 –> 00:22:54,160
to building vibrant online communities, you are demonstrating the determination

354
00:22:54,279 –> 00:22:57,680
that is redefining what is possible for this country. You

355
00:22:57,759 –> 00:23:00,480
are not waiting for the future, you are build building it.

356
00:23:01,240 –> 00:23:04,680
Digital media is now a central driver of economic growth,

357
00:23:05,000 –> 00:23:10,319
civic engagement and social change. It broadens representation for those

358
00:23:10,400 –> 00:23:14,720
previously unheard. The President said his administration is committed to

359
00:23:14,759 –> 00:23:18,720
supporting digital innovation through the National Digital Innovation Fund and

360
00:23:18,799 –> 00:23:23,640
policies that promote a thriving start up ecosystem. However, he

361
00:23:23,759 –> 00:23:27,960
warned practitioners to remain vigilant against disinformation and cyber threats.

362
00:23:28,759 –> 00:23:32,759
Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Bajabia Mila, praised

363
00:23:32,799 –> 00:23:36,680
digital media practitioners who have consistently stood up for Nigeria

364
00:23:36,720 –> 00:23:40,559
and projected the nation positively on the global stage. You

365
00:23:40,680 –> 00:23:44,160
are the vanguard of a reborn Nigeria determined to reach

366
00:23:44,240 –> 00:23:48,839
for the stars. Under President Tanoubu’s leadership, our nation has

367
00:23:48,920 –> 00:23:52,920
begun its long delayed march toward greatness. The road may

368
00:23:53,000 –> 00:23:57,000
be challenging, but it is necessary, he stated in a

369
00:23:57,000 –> 00:24:00,200
good will message. The Special Advisor to the President on

370
00:24:00,279 –> 00:24:04,799
Information and Strategy, Bao on Anuga, highlighted the significance of

371
00:24:04,839 –> 00:24:08,519
the summit. He noted that lessons from recent elections in

372
00:24:08,599 –> 00:24:12,400
countries like the US and Germany underscore how digital media

373
00:24:12,480 –> 00:24:19,319
have become crucial battlegrounds beyond mere entertainment for shaping pole outcomes. However,

374
00:24:19,839 –> 00:24:23,720
social media is not a fair battleground. As a public square,

375
00:24:24,000 –> 00:24:28,759
it is often chaotic and unregulated. Uses frequently disregard rules

376
00:24:29,079 –> 00:24:32,440
divisive content. In line with the requirements of the ceasefire

377
00:24:32,519 –> 00:24:36,279
deal reached on Monday night in Malaysia, the military commanders

378
00:24:36,319 –> 00:24:39,599
in the three areas along the Thailand Cambodia border have

379
00:24:39,720 –> 00:24:43,000
met on Tuesday with a resolution that both sides will

380
00:24:43,039 –> 00:24:46,720
hault the movements of troops and enforce the ceasefire agreement

381
00:24:46,880 –> 00:24:50,599
while waiting till August fourth, twenty twenty five for the

382
00:24:50,640 –> 00:24:54,400
outcome of the general border Committee GBC meeting to be

383
00:24:54,480 –> 00:24:57,440
held before they will know the next line of action

384
00:24:57,559 –> 00:25:00,799
to be taken, which could be travacqu way troops out

385
00:25:00,799 –> 00:25:03,480
of the area or continue the war. Based on the

386
00:25:03,519 –> 00:25:07,319
aftermath of the GBC meeting, agreed to be hosted by

387
00:25:07,400 –> 00:25:11,440
Cambodia next week Monday, the ceasefire Mediator, who is the

388
00:25:11,480 –> 00:25:15,240
Azian Chair and Malaysia Prime Minister and while Ibraheim, who

389
00:25:15,279 –> 00:25:18,480
is currently in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, for a

390
00:25:18,559 –> 00:25:22,000
Zian meeting, said in a post buyer his personal verified

391
00:25:22,119 –> 00:25:26,559
ex social media account on Tuesday that as the Azian Chair,

392
00:25:26,880 –> 00:25:31,039
Malaysia has emerged to lead efforts in reconciling Cambodia and Thailand,

393
00:25:31,480 –> 00:25:34,319
two neighboring countries that were nearly drawn into a more

394
00:25:34,400 –> 00:25:38,480
devastating conflict. Adding, with the active involvement of China and

395
00:25:38,519 –> 00:25:42,559
the United States, we successfully achieved an immediate and unconditional

396
00:25:42,640 –> 00:25:46,680
ceasefire agreements. This is proof that diplomacy must guide our

397
00:25:46,839 –> 00:25:50,559
efforts to realize peace and resolute leadership. While stating in

398
00:25:50,599 –> 00:25:54,519
his earlier post after the ceasefire agreement was reached that

399
00:25:54,599 –> 00:25:57,759
the ceasefire agreement is a concrete proof of the strength

400
00:25:57,799 –> 00:26:03,960
of a Zian diplomacy rooted in insensus, negotiation and humanitarian principles.

401
00:26:04,680 –> 00:26:07,200

403
00:26:11,640 –> 00:26:14,759
of the Malaysian government and Asian I must express my

404
00:26:14,880 –> 00:26:19,279
deep appreciation and gratitude to both my close friends and associates,

410
00:26:39,720 –> 00:26:42,519

418
00:27:10,880 –> 00:27:14,920

00:27:34,759 –> 00:27:40,400
contact with Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and relevant countries to actively

425
00:27:40,440 –> 00:27:45,759
promote dialogue, ceasefire and restoring peace. The presence and collaboration

426
00:27:45,920 –> 00:27:50,119
of all parties underscore a shared commitment to peace, dialogue,

427
00:27:50,160 –> 00:27:54,640
and regional stability. Both Cambodia and Thailand reached a common

428
00:27:54,720 –> 00:27:59,880
understanding as follows an immediate and unconditional ceasefire with effect.

429
00:28:00,200 –> 00:28:04,519
Nigeria on Monday staged an uncommon welcoming ceremony to appreciate

430
00:28:04,599 –> 00:28:07,720
and celebrate the country women football team, who may be

431
00:28:07,759 –> 00:28:11,119
apparently correct to be described as winning Queens of Africa,

432
00:28:11,160 –> 00:28:15,160
as they landed at the Namdi Azukiway International Airport in Abuja,

433

said he never wanted to watch the match because he

465

did not want to have high blood pressure, adding that

466
00:30:26,319 –> 00:30:29,440
the Super Falcons kept him hungrier as his wife, the

00:30:29,480 –> 00:30:32,559
First Lady of Nigeria, hon Remi Tanubu, was at the

468
00:30:32,640 –> 00:30:37,119

match and the super Falcons on Monday could be seen singing,

471
00:30:44,200 –> 00:30:47,599
praising and dancing with the First Lady, Hona Remi Tanubu,

472
00:30:47,640 –> 00:30:51,319
by thus reversing the negativity of the popular viral song

473
00:30:51,400 –> 00:30:54,920
of naw your Mamma be this to nah Mamma be

474
00:30:55,079 –> 00:30:57,720
this to accept the First Lady as the mother of

475
00:30:57,759 –> 00:31:00,839
all in the nation, which could be recalled that earlier

476
00:31:00,880 –> 00:31:04,200
in the year, specifically in the month of March, the

477
00:31:04,279 –> 00:31:08,000
First Lady, Senator Holeremi Tanubu, was at the Dome Events

478
00:31:08,039 –> 00:31:11,079
Centre in Asada in Delta State as part of her

479
00:31:11,119 –> 00:31:15,000
Renewed Hope Initiative project, and during her visit, a video

480
00:31:15,079 –> 00:31:19,039
clip of nigeria nursing students rejecting the First Lady as

481
00:31:19,079 –> 00:31:21,559
the mother of all in the nation went viral and

482
00:31:21,640 –> 00:31:24,519
became a popular song that was remixed by many to

483
00:31:24,599 –> 00:31:28,119
their desired tastes and lyrics. After the viral clip showed

484
00:31:28,119 –> 00:31:32,160
the events master of ceremony barely ten days after Israeli

485
00:31:32,200 –> 00:31:37,119
soldiers bombed the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu,

486
00:31:37,240 –> 00:31:40,359
the State of Israel Prime Minister, has said that Israel

487
00:31:40,519 –> 00:31:43,960
is now being portrayed as the enemy of Christians, stating

488
00:31:44,000 –> 00:31:47,880
that Israel has a thriving Christian community, the only thriving

489
00:31:47,960 –> 00:31:50,920
Christian community in the broad radius of the Middle East.

490
00:31:51,200 –> 00:31:55,720
Where Christians are not tolerated, they’re cherished, adding you can

491
00:31:55,920 –> 00:31:59,880
like Christmas trees in Nazareth, but in Bethlehem, the birthplace

492
00:31:59,920 –> 00:32:04,119
of Jesus. When Israel left and the Palestinian authority came in,

493
00:32:04,400 –> 00:32:07,599
the Christian majority shrank from eighty percent to under twenty

494
00:32:07,640 –> 00:32:10,920
percent because there was no more Israel to protect them.

495
00:32:11,160 –> 00:32:15,480
Though Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu did not mention the bombing

496
00:32:15,519 –> 00:32:18,000
of the Catholic Church in Gaza that led to the

497
00:32:18,079 –> 00:32:21,720
killing of three persons and injuring to several people, including

498
00:32:21,759 –> 00:32:24,559
the parish priest, it could be recalled that the Israel

499
00:32:24,599 –> 00:32:28,880
Defense Forces idf action against the Christian Holy place in

500
00:32:28,960 –> 00:32:33,119
Gaza sparked global condemnations, with the head of the Catholic Church,

501
00:32:33,440 –> 00:32:37,319
Popelio the fourteenth, in a statement on Sunday, July twentieth,

502
00:32:37,400 –> 00:32:41,920
twenty twenty five, while speaking after his Angelus prayer, read

503
00:32:41,920 –> 00:32:44,440
out the names of those killed in the incident, and

504
00:32:44,519 –> 00:32:48,839
said I appealed to the international community to observe humanitarian

505
00:32:48,920 –> 00:32:52,559
law and respect the obligation to protect civilians, as well

506
00:32:52,599 –> 00:32:56,519
as the prohibition of collective punishment, of indiscriminate use of

507
00:32:56,599 –> 00:33:00,599
force and force displacement of the population. Ring a church

508
00:33:00,640 –> 00:33:04,920
event on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while speaking at

509
00:33:04,960 –> 00:33:09,160
the Daystars Together as One event in Jerusalem with Pastor

510
00:33:09,200 –> 00:33:12,480
Paula White, leader of the White House Faith Office, said

511
00:33:12,799 –> 00:33:16,039
Iran is now being projected as the friend of the Americans.

512
00:33:16,839 –> 00:33:20,359
Word to word of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech, as

513
00:33:20,400 –> 00:33:23,480
transcribed and made available by the Office of the Israel

514
00:33:23,599 –> 00:33:28,720
Prime Minister on Sunday, reads below. Thank you Joni, thank

515
00:33:28,759 –> 00:33:32,400
you Daystar, thank you Paula, Thank you ambassadors and the

516
00:33:32,400 –> 00:33:35,960
many friends of Israel. In the Christian world, this is

517
00:33:36,000 –> 00:33:38,680
the city in the land where it all began, the

518
00:33:38,799 –> 00:33:42,880
Judeo Christian tradition that promoted the belief in monotheism, a

519
00:33:43,000 –> 00:33:46,680
single God, that developed the idea of the sanctity of life,

520
00:33:47,000 –> 00:33:51,200
the sanctity of individual life, the idea of freedom in

521
00:33:51,240 –> 00:33:54,160
an ancient world that was swamped with massive slavery, to

522
00:33:54,200 –> 00:33:57,680
build these ancient empires. The Jewish people came out with

523
00:33:57,720 –> 00:34:01,119
the idea that slavery should be limited and ultimately removed.

524
00:34:01,960 –> 00:34:05,640
This was revolutionary. The beginning of the idea of freedom

525
00:34:05,720 –> 00:34:09,159
began in this land, and that idea spread throughout the

526
00:34:09,199 –> 00:34:12,920
centuries and especially in modern times, and changed the world.

527
00:34:13,719 –> 00:34:16,599
It gives hope to the world. It gives meaning to

528
00:34:16,679 –> 00:34:20,840
our lives. It gives a bond between the world’s greatest democracy,

529
00:34:21,199 –> 00:34:24,840
the United States of America, and the world’s vibrant democracy

530
00:34:24,880 –> 00:34:28,360
here in Israel. And that’s a partnership that is bonded

531
00:34:28,400 –> 00:34:32,400
in faith, in history, in tradition. I had the great

532
00:34:32,440 –> 00:34:35,400
privilege of being invited to speak at the Joint Session

533
00:34:35,440 –> 00:34:38,840
of the American Congress, and I look on the wall

534
00:34:38,920 –> 00:34:42,840
and I see a quote from Moses. That’s our common tradition,

535
00:34:43,320 –> 00:34:46,840
our common well spring. We’re immersed in the Bible, we

536
00:34:46,960 –> 00:34:49,639
live the Bible. We have a future because we have

537
00:34:49,719 –> 00:34:53,559
a past, and that past is shared by millions, hundreds

538
00:34:53,599 –> 00:34:56,840
of millions around the world. And I want to thank

539
00:34:56,920 –> 00:34:59,199
you on behalf of the people of Israel and the

540
00:34:59,280 –> 00:35:03,159
Jewish people, Royal Thai Army and the Cambodia National Ministry

541
00:35:03,159 –> 00:35:06,480
of Defense have both denied firing the ten projectiles that

542
00:35:06,559 –> 00:35:10,840
destroyed civilian houses and properties at Emerald Triangle, a city

543
00:35:10,880 –> 00:35:15,000
in Now on Thursday, just as both government establishments confirmed

544
00:35:15,039 –> 00:35:18,400
early in the morning on Sunday that fighting continued through

545
00:35:18,519 –> 00:35:22,679
Saturday night to Sunday morning night. Despite President Donald Trump

546
00:35:22,719 –> 00:35:26,239
of the United States u S statement on Saturday that

547
00:35:26,280 –> 00:35:29,280
he has spoken on phone with both the Prime Minister

548
00:35:29,480 –> 00:35:33,719
of Cambodia and the acting Prime Minister of Thailand, asking

549
00:35:33,760 –> 00:35:36,559
the two parties to agree on immediate cease fire, and

550
00:35:36,679 –> 00:35:40,320
failure to do so, according to Trump, US will not

551
00:35:40,400 –> 00:35:43,840
make any business deal with both countries. In his words,

552
00:35:44,199 –> 00:35:48,480
Trump said, we happen to be by coincidents currently dealing

553
00:35:48,519 –> 00:35:51,400
on trade with both countries, but do not want to

554
00:35:51,400 –> 00:35:54,599
make any deal with either country if they are fighting,

555
00:35:54,880 –> 00:35:57,760
and I have told them so. The call with Thailand

556
00:35:57,840 –> 00:36:02,280
is being made momentarily the Cambodia has ended, but expect

557
00:36:02,280 –> 00:36:05,599
to call back regarding war stoppage and cease fire based

558
00:36:05,719 –> 00:36:08,880
on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to

559
00:36:08,960 –> 00:36:12,840
simplify a complex situation. Many people are being killed in

560
00:36:12,880 –> 00:36:15,559
this war, but it very much reminds me of the

561
00:36:15,599 –> 00:36:19,239
conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a

562
00:36:19,239 –> 00:36:23,440
successful halt. The Lao government had on Friday reported that

563
00:36:23,519 –> 00:36:27,280
ten bombs were found having been fired into civilian areas

564
00:36:27,320 –> 00:36:31,000
and affecting local residents in the Emerald Triangle, a town

565
00:36:31,039 –> 00:36:34,960
in Lao that borders both Lao, Thailand and Cambodia. A

566
00:36:35,079 –> 00:36:38,880
statement from the Lao People’s Armed Forces on Saturday afternoon

567
00:36:38,960 –> 00:36:43,239
refuted earlier media reports claiming clashes between the Lao People’s

568
00:36:43,360 –> 00:36:48,079
Armed Forces and Cambodian armed personnel, describing the reports as untrue,

569
00:36:48,840 –> 00:36:52,119
denying the shelling in Lao. The Royal Thailand Army in

570
00:36:52,159 –> 00:36:55,960
a statement on Saturday, said that the Royal Thai Army

571
00:36:56,000 –> 00:37:00,239
clarifies case of artillery shells landing in Laopidi our territory

572
00:37:00,280 –> 00:37:04,480
in Emerald Triangle area, confirms investigation found they were not

573
00:37:04,559 –> 00:37:09,159
Thai forces ammunition. According to news reports, on the twenty

574
00:37:09,199 –> 00:37:13,599
fourth of July twenty twenty five, at approximately nine forty hours,

575
00:37:14,000 –> 00:37:17,079
ten artillery shells landed in the territory of the Lao

576
00:37:17,119 –> 00:37:22,480
People’s Democratic Republic LAOPDR in the Emerald Triangle area, which

577
00:37:22,519 –> 00:37:27,079
is the border junction between Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia, without

578
00:37:27,119 –> 00:37:30,079
clear confirmation as to which side the shells belonged to,

579
00:37:30,559 –> 00:37:34,000
and preliminarily there were no reports of casualties or property

580
00:37:34,079 –> 00:37:39,360
damage from the incident. Major General Wintai Suburi Army spokesperson

581
00:37:39,719 –> 00:37:44,880
issued a clarification that following fact finding investigations and coordination

582
00:37:45,039 –> 00:37:48,960
with security agencies of the Lao PDR, it is confirmed

583
00:37:48,960 –> 00:37:52,119
that they were definitely not shells from the Thai military side,

584
00:37:52,280 –> 00:37:55,679
and the Royal Thai Army has confidence in its capability

585
00:37:55,719 –> 00:38:01,159
to control weapon usage effectively, appropriately, proportionately, and strictly within

586
00:38:01,239 –> 00:38:06,199
international rules of engagement. However, in the recent period, it

587
00:38:06,280 –> 00:38:09,239
has often been found that the Cambodian side has been

588
00:38:09,320 –> 00:38:13,559
using long range fire support weapons to attack numerous civilian

589
00:38:13,639 –> 00:38:17,039
targets throughout the past two days, which appears to be

590
00:38:17,079 –> 00:38:20,760
intentional and deliberate use of such weapons against targets other

591
00:38:20,800 –> 00:38:24,920
than military objectives, such as using weapons against historical sites

592
00:38:25,199 –> 00:38:29,639
aiming to significantly mislead the international community against the Thai side.

593
00:38:30,079 –> 00:38:33,320
Asia is apparently becoming a continent of war as hope

594
00:38:33,360 –> 00:38:36,719
of achieving peace in the continent appeared slim since twenty

595
00:38:36,800 –> 00:38:39,559
twenty three, when fresh wars broke out in the Middle

596
00:38:39,559 –> 00:38:43,800
East Asia after Hamas attacked Israel, forcing Israel to launch

597
00:38:43,800 –> 00:38:48,519
a multi front wars in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Yemen.

598
00:38:48,800 –> 00:38:51,400
This occurred as Russia, that has parts of its territory

599
00:38:51,480 –> 00:38:54,599
in Asia, had in twenty twenty two launched a full

600
00:38:54,679 –> 00:38:59,320
scale war against its neighboring European country Ukraine, which The

601
00:38:59,400 –> 00:39:02,800
multiple wars have led to millions of deaths, with many

602
00:39:02,800 –> 00:39:06,079
in the world expecting an end soon. But while many

603
00:39:06,119 –> 00:39:08,920
in the world hoped for permanent end to the deadly wars,

604
00:39:09,280 –> 00:39:12,239
another fresh war broke out during the week on Thursday

605
00:39:12,320 –> 00:39:16,679
in the Southeast Asia between Cambodia and Thailand after soldiers

606
00:39:16,760 –> 00:39:21,079
from Royal Thai Army of fourteenth Infantry Battalion on Wednesday

607
00:39:21,199 –> 00:39:24,159
stepped on a land mine at Huai Bon chong En

608
00:39:24,239 –> 00:39:29,360
ma Namyuen District, Uban Ratchathani Province within the Thai Cambodia

609
00:39:29,400 –> 00:39:33,599
border area, causing severe injury to one Thailand soldier, while

610
00:39:33,760 –> 00:39:37,800
four other soldiers sustained some level of injuries, making the

611
00:39:37,840 –> 00:39:42,039
acting Prime Minister of Thailand funthrom Wechii to recall the

612
00:39:42,039 –> 00:39:46,960
country’s ambassador from PanAm Pen and expelled Cambodia’s ambassador to Thailand,

613
00:39:47,360 –> 00:39:51,519
leading to heavy military confrontations starting next day morning, which

614
00:39:51,960 –> 00:39:56,199
Cambodian News Agency on Saturday reported the tens of thousands

615
00:39:56,239 –> 00:40:01,079
of innocent Cambodians, including children, pregnant women and the elderly,

616
00:40:01,119 –> 00:40:03,920
have been forced to flee the military aggression along the

617
00:40:03,960 –> 00:40:09,000
border areas including Pria, Vihir, Odaminchi and Persit, and The

618
00:40:09,079 –> 00:40:12,480
Royal Thai Army also on Saturday released a video of

619
00:40:12,519 –> 00:40:15,480
its men hoisting the Thai flag at a location and

620
00:40:15,559 –> 00:40:19,079
stated that the Thai national flag was raised atop Fu

621
00:40:19,159 –> 00:40:23,280
Maquaya following Thai military operations to assault and seize the

622
00:40:23,320 –> 00:40:26,840
Fu Maquaa area, where it said the Cambodian forces had

623
00:40:26,880 –> 00:40:30,679
been heavily positioned, adding that the area was successfully captured

624
00:40:30,800 –> 00:40:34,000
during the evening of war on Friday. While the Prime

625
00:40:34,039 –> 00:40:38,480
Minister of Thailand, pitonng Tan Shinawat, who is currently on suspension,

626
00:40:38,559 –> 00:40:42,159
blamed the cause of the war on alleged powerful criminals

627
00:40:42,199 –> 00:40:46,280
in Cambodia, saying the conflict stems from the Thai government’s

628
00:40:46,320 –> 00:40:50,199
efforts to crack down on call center crimes, dismantling a

629
00:40:50,280 –> 00:40:56,679
network of immense financial interests linked to influential groups in Cambodia. Notwithstanding,

630
00:40:56,880 –> 00:41:01,400
the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Sadek Mohabor Thapadai han Mane,

631
00:41:01,639 –> 00:41:05,639
in a statement called on Cambodians not to attack businesses

632
00:41:05,679 –> 00:41:09,760
and citizens of Thailand living in Cambodia, adding that after

633
00:41:09,840 –> 00:41:12,840
the Prime Minister of Malaysia and the rotating Chairman of

634
00:41:12,880 –> 00:41:16,320
Azian and Wa Ibrahim intervened in the matter on Thursday,

635
00:41:16,599 –> 00:41:19,480
both countries agreed to a cease fire slated to start

636
00:41:19,639 –> 00:41:23,280
on Friday by twelve a m. But an hour after

637
00:41:23,360 –> 00:41:27,000
malaysia Prime minister told him that Thailand has agreed to

638
00:41:27,000 –> 00:41:31,840
the ceasefire, Thailand rescinded its decision and continued military actions

639
00:41:31,880 –> 00:41:36,440
against Cambodia and the Cambodia. Ministry of National Defense spokesperson

640
00:41:36,840 –> 00:41:41,079
Lieutenant General Mali Sokita, in an operational updates on Saturday,

641
00:41:41,519 –> 00:41:45,559
said that Thailand has continued to expand its military, including

642
00:41:45,599 –> 00:41:50,760
its infantry forces heavy weaponry into Cambodia territory. According to

643
00:41:50,800 –> 00:41:54,280
the Thailand military, known as Royal Thai Army, the Royal

644
00:41:54,360 –> 00:41:58,119
Thai Army condemns the Cambodian side for the incident involving

645
00:41:58,159 –> 00:42:01,480
the covered placement of land mines. Pocast walk on level

646
00:42:01,800 –> 00:42:04,880
