With this, Philippine energy officials are doubling down on their call for the public to save energy.
01:34.2
We'll be right back.
02:04.2
At magtipid sa paggamit ng kuryente, hindi lang para tulong na rin para sa sarili natin, kundi para makatulong din na maibaba ang demand natin.
02:16.9
Power distributor Meralco for its part has implemented measures aimed at easing demand.
02:24.4
Government agencies moving to conserve energy amid the fragile power supply in the country.
02:29.7
President Marcos had earlier ordered all government agencies to lower their power.
02:34.2
The energy department says it saved over 2 million pesos last year from the government energy management program.
02:43.2
The DOE adds government's electricity consumption fell 23% last year due to conservation efforts.
02:49.7
But it says this might not be doable at the moment amid the extreme heat in the country.
02:56.9
Sa pangkalakatan, sumusunod naman ang ating mga kasamahan sa pamahalaan.
03:01.5
Nung nakaraang taon, medyo may konting diktat.
03:04.2
Kasi nung nakaraang taon, on the average, ang nakikita nating reduction na nai-implement nila, pumapalo siya closer to 23% nung kanilang average consumption.
03:17.4
Pero ngayon nga, siguro dahil sa matindi rin iinit, bumaba ito ng konti na sa more than a little over 10%.
03:24.1
Karamihan ng ating mga government agencies, ang major contribution nila talaga,
03:29.6
e yung sinisigurado po nila na yung kanilang mga cooling systems,
03:33.6
yung ating mga aircon, electric fans, malinis po ito, napaproperly maintained.
03:38.0
At yung importante nga po, kagaya nung ating mensahe sa ating mga kababayan,
03:42.8
huwag masyadong ibababa po yung thermostat.
03:45.4
Ilagay lang po natin sa mga 24 degrees para hindi po ganung kalakas ang konsumo nito.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines says it is looking into the influx of thousands of Chinese college students

in the province of Cagayan.
04:17.5
AFP spokesperson Colonel Francel Margaret Padilla says
04:20.9
they are coordinating with the Philippine National Police and other government agencies
04:25.3
to determine if the presence of these Chinese students pose a threat to national security.

At the House of Representatives,
04:55.0
Act Teacher's Partylist Representative Franz Castro is calling for a probe
04:59.3
into suspected Chinese sleeper cells in the country.
05:02.6
For example, they are students, they are ordinary citizens,
05:08.0
but they have skills that are for spies or military skills
05:14.8
that later on, if they will use them, they will live.
05:19.1
These are the sleeper cells.
05:20.6
We think there might be something like that here in the Philippines,
05:25.3
so all the kilos that we have here in the Philippines are like China's tanks.
05:36.0
Surigao del Norte Representative Robert Ace Barbers,
05:40.2
said he has received information
05:41.8
that Chinese nationals,
05:43.7
posing as what he calls
05:44.9
fake Filipino nationals,
05:47.0
are buying huge tracts of land
05:49.0
near major air and sea ports,
05:51.6
as well as near military sites
05:53.3
that can be accessed by the U.S. military

They recovered firearms,

ammunition, hand grenades,
06:08.4
various China-marked tactical gear
06:10.2
and a Chinese flag.
06:12.2
Authorities also seized a sports car

06:38.3

06:44.1
House Deputy Minority Leader
06:46.4
Franz Castro also calling for clear-cut
06:48.7
policies to address the alleged
06:50.4
Chinese infiltration happening in the Philippines.
06:53.3
Castro clarifies the Philippines
06:54.9
is not against having Chinese nationals
06:57.2
in the country, but she notes
06:58.9
Manila's maritime row with Beijing
07:00.9
complicates the matter.
07:04.5
We are worried about the influx
07:06.8
of the students, especially
07:12.2
So parang new phenomenon yan.
07:15.5
With our experience kasi sa Pogo,
07:17.7
nagkaroon din na investigation
07:19.8
yung Pogo and we have found out
07:21.9
na merong mga PLA
07:23.6
na naka-infiltrate doon sa mga
07:27.6
Kaya we are worried na baka may mga ganitong
07:33.9
especially the government of China
07:35.7
because we have this dispute
07:38.2
in the West Philippine Sea.
07:42.0
Security analyst Chester Cabalza
07:44.3
meanwhile notes aside from Cagayan,
07:46.3
other areas like Subic are also
07:48.2
seeing an influx of Chinese students.
07:52.5
Subic is fronting the West Philippine Sea also.
07:55.8
exclusive in Cagayan,
07:58.4
but I think in some of the
08:00.1
key strategic locations
08:03.0
in Brazil basically.
08:04.4
They're not our enemies, we just have
08:06.0
a strategic problem with them
08:07.9
in the West Philippine Sea.
08:09.2
We have to put that into context,
08:11.4
but at the same time, they should be
08:13.4
transparent also in their businesses
08:18.9
Joint Philippine-US military drill
08:21.1
set for next week described as
08:23.1
preparations for a possible conflict.
08:25.5
Bianca Dava has this story.
08:30.1
More than showcasing its capabilities,
08:32.8
training exercises with the country's
08:34.8
allies and partners helped the
08:36.6
armed forces of the Philippines
08:38.1
maintain a high level of readiness in case
08:40.5
of a conflict, according to a military
08:42.5
official. The armed forces has
08:44.5
a mandate to defend our
08:50.4
adjunct to that mandate, which is
08:52.6
you have to train for it.
08:54.6
And for realistic training, we
08:56.3
train in areas where
09:02.5
provided for. The purpose of
09:04.6
an armed forces, why we
09:06.6
exist, is really to prepare for war.
09:10.5
there's no sugarcoating
09:12.6
it. The navies of the Philippines,
09:15.0
the United States, and France
09:16.4
will conduct a multilateral maritime
09:18.6
exercise in the West Philippine Sea
09:20.7
as part of the Balikatan exercise
09:24.6
the first time, the Coast Guard
09:26.5
contingents from Manila and Washington
09:28.5
will participate in the joint
09:30.3
sale. Smaller drills
09:32.4
will also be conducted in Batanes,
09:34.8
the country's northernmost province
09:36.7
facing Taiwan. These
09:38.7
drills are expected to irritate China,
09:41.2
but Balikatan 2024
09:42.5
Executive Agent Colonel Michael Lohico
09:44.4
says it's nothing out of the ordinary.
09:47.2
With or without China,
09:48.8
let's say, for example, in a parallel
09:50.4
universe, China did not exist,
09:52.6
we would still be doing these exercises
09:54.3
because this is a
09:58.5
things that nations do.
10:00.9
Manila is sending two vessels
10:02.4
from the Philippine Navy and one from
10:04.4
the Philippine Coast Guard for the MME.
10:07.1
The number of participating
10:08.4
ships from the U.S. meanwhile
10:10.1
has yet to be determined.
10:12.3
France, which is making a debut as a
10:14.5
Balikatan participant, on the other
10:16.4
hand, is sending a warship to the drills.
10:19.1
The Philippines has no
10:20.4
visiting forces agreement with France
10:22.3
yet, but Lohico said Paris
10:24.2
could still join the drills since it
10:26.4
will be conducted outside Manila's territorial
10:28.5
waters. For the French Navy,
10:30.5
they will be bringing in the frigate, so
10:32.4
I, those, the frigate will
10:36.3
territorial waters. They will be
10:38.7
joining the group sail, which is
10:40.5
beyond 12 nautical miles,
10:44.7
200 nautical mile EEZ.
10:47.5
So, they will not,
10:48.7
we will not be seeing French boots on the ground.
10:51.0
The participation is
10:52.5
just the Navy. The official also
10:54.7
assured that the possible presence or
10:56.6
intrusion of Beijing's
10:58.2
vessels during the MME is
11:00.2
part of their contingency plans.
11:02.5
Intrusion into our exercise
11:04.5
area is a possibility, but
11:08.5
pose more of a problem
11:10.5
for the people who want to
11:12.2
enter the exercise area, not us.
11:15.4
Because we're going there,
11:16.3
we're going there
11:19.0
Navy vessels, so with
11:22.3
the United States and also with the
11:26.6
We're going there prepared.
11:28.2
The annual joint training exercise between
11:30.3
the AFP and the U.S. Armed Forces
11:32.1
will also focus on testing the Philippines'
11:35.0
comprehensive archipelagic
11:36.4
defense concept announced by
11:38.3
Defense Secretary Gilberto Chudoro Jr.
11:40.6
earlier this year.
11:42.1
The concept calls for incorporating all
11:44.2
services of the AFP in defending
11:46.4
Philippine waters, particularly
11:48.0
the country's 200 nautical mile EEZ.
11:50.9
One thing particularly
11:52.3
new about Exercise
11:54.3
Balikatan is that it's going to
11:56.3
also showcase the,
11:58.2
the comprehensive archipelagic defense concept.
12:00.9
We are focusing on
12:02.1
both the physical and the non-physical
12:06.3
exercising, particularly
12:12.7
information warfare
12:14.0
and cyber defense.
12:18.2
participants expected from the Philippines
12:20.3
and the U.S., this year's
12:22.2
Balikatan will be the largest
12:23.7
since the first staging in 1991.
12:26.6
Representatives of
12:28.2
countries will also participate in the drills
12:38.3
sounds the alarm over the upcoming
12:40.0
joint military drills between the Philippines
12:42.3
and the US. Beijing's foreign ministry
12:44.3
warns the Balikatan exercises
12:46.3
will only lead to what it called
12:47.9
greater insecurity in the South
12:50.3
China Sea. China asserts
12:52.3
it will continue to staunchly defend
12:54.3
its maritime rights, calling the
12:56.2
exercises another provocation
12:58.6
by Washington and Manila.
13:02.8
The Philippines should be
13:04.3
sober enough to realize that attempting
13:06.1
to rally external countries to flex military
13:08.2
muscles in the South China Sea
13:10.3
and provoke conflicts will only
13:12.3
escalate tensions and disrupt regional
13:14.3
stability. Attempts to bring in
13:16.3
external forces to safeguard
13:18.2
the so-called security will only
13:20.3
lead to greater insecurity for itself,
13:22.6
potentially turning itself into pawns
13:24.5
in other schemes.
13:26.2
Meanwhile, the Philippine
13:29.0
Foreign Affairs Department defends
13:30.8
the country's decision to strengthen its
13:32.7
alliance with the US and Japan.
13:34.8
The DFA says instead of accusing the
13:36.7
Philippines and its allies of creating
13:38.9
tension in the region, it is
13:40.9
China that should reflect on its actions
13:43.0
in disputed waters.
13:46.6
Washington and Beijing's defense
13:48.7
secretaries hold talks for the first time
13:50.8

Filipino fishermen receive more support from government as they face the constant threat of harassment from Chinese vessels.
14:35.1
Jervis Manahan reports.
14:38.0
Jumping off from Subic Zambales, officials from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and several Filipino fishermen sailed to some fishing grounds in the West Philippine Sea on Tuesday.
14:49.3
This activity is part of the agency's Project Layag, which aims to enhance productivity of fishermen through government assistance.
14:59.9
The BIFAR turned over 60 million pesos worth of fishing gear, including 62-foot boats to fisherfolk communities in various coastal towns.
15:08.4
So naka-focus ito sa pagbibigay ng mga livelihood interventions para mas mapalawak pa natin ang kayahan ng ating mga mangis na sa West Philippine Sea
15:17.8
at ng likas-likas.
15:19.3
Kaya natin itong malinang pa yung kayamanan natin sa West Philippine Sea.
15:24.1
The agency said fish production in the West Philippine Sea increased in 2023, which they say may be attributed to government assistance, a drastic increase in fishing boats, and fair weather.
15:37.6
On Tuesday, Filipino fishermen showed several fishing methods in the West Philippine Sea, which included man lines and ring nets.
15:45.3
BIFAR also refuted claims of China that payaus, or traditional fishing,
15:49.3
are destructive to marine life.
15:52.8
Hindi po mapanira ang payau, no? Ang mapanira siguro yung kapag nagkakaroon ng malawakang reklimasyon at nalasisira yung ating mga coral reefs.
16:02.8
Pero itong payau, isa po itong passive gear, environment-friendly po ito, nilalapitan ito ng mga maliliit na isda na pagkain ng mga malalaking isda.
16:13.0
Last October, Chinese vessels cut off payaus of Filipino fishermen set up in Philippine waters.
16:19.3
Malaking pangihinayang, sir. Saka ang pagod ng maghulog ng payau, gastos pa. Tapos ay nung aanihan na namin, saka naman nawala.
16:28.1
Pag pumasok ka doon sa mismo lagu ng Escalburo, talaga hindi ka papasokin. Pero pag sa tayong isda po namin sa labas, wala naman po problema.
16:36.0
Fishermen also said they are now fishing in areas away from the Escalburo Shoal to avoid harassment and aggression from Chinese vessels.
16:43.8
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources say they will remain undeterred by tensions in the West Philippine Sea.
16:49.3
Their mandate remains, and that is to help the Filipino fisherfolk.
16:55.2
A lawmaker as well as officials from the military and coast guard said they are committed to ensuring the welfare of fishermen not just on their safety, but their livelihood as well.
17:05.6
It's an interagency effort naman ng ating government na sama-sama tayo magtutulong-tulong. It's not just solely a security aspect. It has to be interagency as I've said.
17:17.7
It cannot be done by one agency alone.
17:19.7
At nais ko ibalita sa inyo na ang Senate nagbigay ng tatlong malaking bapor sa BIFAR para bantayan kayo.
17:32.1
Ang justification nila noon, gusto namin tumulong ang BIFAR sa pagpoprotect sa mga manging isda sa West Philippine Sea.
17:44.6
Jervis Manahan, ABS-CBN News.
17:47.7
The Office of the Ombudsman has dismissed the head of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources for grave misconduct.
17:56.3
But employees of the agency are standing by him. Jervis Manahan is back with that story. Jervis?
18:02.7
Yes, Tally. Concerned employees of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources expressed support to their embattled chief, Atty. Demos Fines Escoto.
18:10.9
Escoto was dismissed by the Office of the Ombudsman on Wednesday after finding him guilty of grave misconduct in the procurement.

Marcos is the son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr., who plundered billions and declared martial law, which left thousands dead.

I wouldn't say it's performing poorly. I'm saying, I would say it's adjusting to some events.
27:55.5
It initially weakened, along with other emerging market currencies, by the way, because of what's going on in the Middle East.
28:04.1
Remolona added that the decline may have been a reaction to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's signal that rate cuts in the U.S. may come later than expected.
28:13.0
I think it's adjusting to Powell's speech.
28:15.8
That maybe they won't ease until September.
28:20.6
Or September's kind of how people interpret what Powell said.
28:26.6
So there's a postponement of when the FOMC will ease in the eyes of the market.
28:34.0
So that has meant weakening of other currencies against the U.S. dollar.
28:42.8
So it's not a case of a weak peso.
28:45.8
It's a case of a strong dollar.
28:47.8
The weakening of the peso is not sharp enough for Remolona to warrant adjusting interest rates.
28:53.6
With Philippine inflation accelerating for two consecutive months, the BSP earlier said policy easing may not come soon as inflation risks continue to lean on the upside.
29:04.4
He said the Monetary Board may instead reconsider cutting rates this year.
29:08.8
The central scenario would be fourth quarter ease.
29:14.9
If things are worse than we think, then it might be postponed to the first quarter of 2025.
29:29.6
While the adjustment has not been significant enough to affect monetary policy, Remolona said it could be a factor in the Monetary Board's next policy meeting.

The Philippine Stock Exchange wants to double the number of Filipinos trading stocks in the country.
29:48.8
This through mobile apps that will help make it easier for the public to invest in the capital markets.
29:54.9
Jackie Pascual reports.
29:57.8
The Philippine Stock Exchange is hopeful that the number of Filipinos trading stocks will grow significantly with the launch of mobile services such as G-Stocks.
30:07.4
PSE President and CEO Ramon Monzon says there are 1.9 million stock market accounts in the country,
30:13.8
an 11.8% increase over a five-year period, but still a low number at just 1.7% of the population.
30:22.4
Hopefully, at least in the next five years, if they could double that 1.9, it's good enough for us because it took us 94 years to get there.
30:31.0
The PSE has one of the lowest retail market participation rate in the region at 16% compared to 32% of Indonesia's stock exchange and 28.9% of stock exchange of Thailand.
30:43.8
Retail participation in any stock market contributes to the liquidity of the market.
30:50.5
And market liquidity is very important to make the market go up or increase in value.
30:57.0
Antonio Jose Periquet Jr. of AB Capital says there are many possible reasons why Filipinos are not into trading stocks.
31:05.3
Some people say it is lack of incomes, therefore lack of savings.
31:12.1
One other hypothesis.
31:13.8
The other hypothesis is because Filipinos simply do not have an equity culture.
31:21.1
We have a lotto culture, a wetten culture, a sabong culture, a gaming culture, but an equity culture we don't have.
31:31.6
Now, is that true?
31:34.3
But he believes it's mostly because of a lack of access to such services,
31:39.1
which is why AB Capital partnered with GCash to create GSTOP,
31:43.8
making it easier for the average Filipino to buy or sell stocks.
31:49.0
Without digital means, it's simply too intimidating for an average Filipino to walk into a broker's office,
31:56.9
to open an account, to fill up these forms.
31:59.6
How do we help Filipinos grow their money, earn money, right?
32:04.3
And stocks is one of the things that we're looking at.
32:06.5
Layug reveals that GSTOX already has half a million users following its soft launch last year.

32:38.7
WorkVivo is an employee communication and engagement platform for companies to better connect.
32:43.8
With their employees digitally.
32:46.6
More companies have been allowing their employees to work in a hybrid setup
32:50.2
in the years following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic,
32:53.6
which forced several employees to work remotely.
32:58.2
Hybrid world is very productive.
33:01.1
There's also a level of disconnectedness from the company,
33:04.4
sometimes from people when they're working from home.
33:06.8
And we wanted to solve that problem.
33:08.7
Really helping companies and senior executives,
33:12.4
really create the sense,
33:13.8
that sense of culture,
33:14.5
that sense of belonging for employees,
33:16.8
which is why we acquired a company called WorkVivo.
33:20.5
We have customers in the Philippines also.
33:23.6
You know, and that's a platform we acquired that really is around creating employee experience,
33:29.3
helping companies communicate, broadcast their messages, their strategies.
33:34.8
But in a very rich, immersive world with a very social fabric video,
33:40.9
micro-sized, which frankly,
33:43.8
younger populations love,
33:46.3
especially in the Philippines where,
33:48.3
you know, it's a very social,
33:50.3
connected young population.
33:58.3
Philippine transport regulators are looking into claims
34:01.3
public transport services like are losing passengers to motorcycle taxis.
34:06.3
Several transport groups made that allegation,
34:08.8
including the Taguig Transport Service Cooperative,
34:11.5
which operates modern jeepneys.
34:13.8
It warrants the situation could get worse once more motorcycle taxis get the green light to operate.
34:21.4
Hindi ako naniniwala na yung pasahero ng motorcycle taxi,
34:24.7
hindi namin pasahero.
34:26.1
Yung pasahero namin, pasahero nila.
34:32.2
Napapasok nila ang subdivision.
34:35.5
Yung tricycle, mawawalan ng pasahero, makukuha nila.
34:40.3
Transport officials meanwhile gave their assurance,
34:42.7
the result of their probe,
34:43.8
will be included in government's expanded motorcycle taxi pilot study.
34:47.8
Now that study will be submitted to lawmakers on May 30.
34:50.8
It will serve as a guide for lawmakers in crafting a law,
34:54.8
governing motorcycle taxi operations in the country.
34:59.8
Marami po ang nagsasabi na nawawalan na ng pasahero si ganito, si ganyan.
35:05.8
But we have to validate because iba po kasing klaseng transportation,
35:10.8
or mode of transportation ng motorcycle taxi.
35:13.8
Unang-una, wala pong ruta yung mga yan.
35:16.8
And yung pong mga UV, PUV, yan po, may mga ruta po kasi yung mga yan.
35:22.8
So, especially po yung mga TODA, may areas of operation po yan.
35:27.8
Now, yan po ang isa sa mga tinututukan namin ngayon.
35:31.8
So, titignan natin kung meron po ba, at kung meron, gaano po ba kalaki ang impact of motorcycle taxi operation.
35:42.8
Doon po sa ibang mga klase ng pampublikong sasakyan.
35:49.8
Filipino authorities sounding the alarm over what they call a silent pandemic of e-cigarette and vape use among Filipino youth.
35:56.8
Ara Perez tells us more.
36:00.8
Millennials Anna and Perla have quit smoking, then shifted to vapes as an alternative to cigarettes.
36:08.8
Nasa point pa ako na talagang hinahanap-hanap ko pa.
36:11.8
Kasi sa trabaho pag-stress, pag sa bahay pagpagod, tapos pag after kumain, lalo na yun.
36:19.8
Nasa isip ko naman na talagang mag-quit.
36:21.8
Yun nga lang, mahirap pa din.
36:23.8
Yung sa pamilya ko din na, syempre usok ako ng usok, sila din nakaka-naapekawan din.
36:30.8
More patients are getting e-cigarette or vape associated lung injury or e-valley, especially among the youth.
36:37.8
According to a health expert, patients usually complain of getting e-cigarette.
36:40.8
complain of getting tired easily
36:42.7
and having difficulty in breathing
36:44.4
even in the absence of asthma,
36:47.0
cough, or infection.
36:48.8
This apparently shows that the claim
36:50.9
that vape is less harmful
36:52.3
is just a marketing strategy.
36:54.5
Mas mahirap nga yung
36:58.1
kesa doon sa sigarilyo.
37:00.7
Bakit? Kasi ang hirap mong
37:04.3
adiksyon na meron yung
37:07.9
Limpin warned, vaping is like putting
37:10.2
cancer-causing elements right
37:14.0
Kahit doon sa medyo walang usok,
37:16.9
napakakunting usok,
37:18.6
meron kang makikita doon
37:23.7
metallic compounds
37:30.1
doon sa usok na yan.
37:31.6
And therefore, it is not vapor.
37:34.4
It is an aerosol.
37:36.9
Health Secretary Ted
37:38.1
Herbosa himself is concerned
37:39.7
as long damage is irreversible.
37:41.9
Kaya nagagalit yung mga kaibigan
37:43.8
kong doktor na wala daw ang ginagawa
37:46.1
kasi nakikita nila yung mga pasyente
37:50.0
old, 15 years old
37:51.9
nag-revape, buwasak na yung
37:54.1
lungs nila. Damage na.
37:56.3
Sila ang gumagamot so
37:57.5
they want more action from me.
37:59.7
The Philippine Education Department says
38:01.6
it is ending this so-called silent
38:03.7
pandemic among the youth.
38:05.5
Through prevention, cessation, and public
38:07.6
awareness campaigns, spearheaded
38:09.6
by students themselves.
38:11.4
Based on the findings in the Philippines
38:13.1
of the 2019 Global Youth Tobacco Survey,
38:16.3
over 14% of students
38:19.7
are using e-cigarettes.
38:22.2
The interest now is vaping because
38:23.6
they now come in flavors. They come now in
38:25.7
bright new packages.
38:33.5
parent trainings. For some,
38:35.7
they don't even know na yung pina-online
38:37.9
store ng mga anak nila.
38:42.1
Experts say the best
38:43.7
way to quit vape and cigarette
38:45.3
is to go cold turkey
38:47.1
or abruptly quit the vice.
38:49.4
They add, there may be weight gain at first
38:51.8
but this is just a sign of
38:53.5
improved senses of taste
38:55.5
and smell. Ara Perez,
39:01.4
World News Now, thousands still stranded
39:03.7
at the Dubai International Airport
39:05.8
which was brought to a standstill
39:07.9
by a relentless deluge.
39:09.5
of rain. The airport's runway
39:11.5
was not spared from flooding on Wednesday
39:13.6
causing massive flight cancellations
39:17.9
Filipinos are among those stranded
39:19.4
at the travel hub.
39:23.5
for, I think, more than 24
39:29.5
it's a little limited of options
39:31.2
even if it was offered to the
39:33.3
security for us to stay outside.
39:39.0
na-stop na yung flooding
39:40.9
or open na yung mga roads.
39:42.9
So I think ang best option lang
39:46.9
So lahat talaga, camping
39:49.1
inside the airport
39:51.0
and you would see talaga
39:53.6
na they're waiting
39:56.3
First time kong ma-experience ko
39:57.9
sa Tagay, mag-usit naman talaga
40:00.5
that the weather is changing,
40:02.9
climate is changing.
40:07.3
na-experience yung halik na kalakas kami.
40:10.2
They're very disturbing.
40:12.5
Saka yung magaling kong
40:13.7
in-conspirer, first time
40:15.6
din na-experience kami.
40:19.6
Now a year's worth of rain
40:21.5
poured in one day in the United Arab
40:23.7
Emirates and neighboring Oman.
40:25.5
The rare storm killed one person in Dubai
40:27.5
and another 19 in Oman.
40:30.5
Cleanup has begun in parts
40:31.7
of the country and the extent of
40:33.4
damage is slowly coming to light.
40:37.4
Still in the Middle East,
40:38.3
the East Israeli Prime
40:39.0
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
40:40.6
thanks the visiting foreign ministers
40:42.3
of Germany and Britain for the support
40:44.7
of their countries.
40:46.4
Netanyahu, however, makes it clear
40:48.4
Israel would reach its own decisions
40:50.2
on security. British Foreign Secretary
40:52.8
David Cameron and German Foreign
40:54.9
Minister Annalena Baerbock
40:56.9
met with Netanyahu
40:58.7
days after Iran's retaliatory
41:00.8
missile and drone attack
41:05.1
I thank our friends
41:06.6
for their support in the defense of Israel
41:09.0
and I say this, both
41:10.6
support in words and support in
41:12.6
actions. They also have all kinds
41:14.8
of suggestions and advice.
41:16.5
I appreciate it, but I want
41:18.6
to make it clear. We will make
41:20.7
our own decisions and the
41:22.6
state of Israel will do everything
41:24.6
necessary to defend itself.
41:28.5
World powers are striving to prevent
41:30.8
a wider escalation of conflict
41:32.6
in the Middle East. Cameron said earlier
41:34.7
on Wednesday, Israel has clearly
41:36.6
decided to retaliate against Iran.
41:41.1
very concerning. It's right to show
41:43.0
solidarity with Israel.
41:45.3
It's right to have made
41:47.1
our views clear about what should
41:48.9
happen next, but it's clear the
41:50.9
Israelis are making a decision
41:52.9
to act. We hope they do so in a way that
41:54.9
does as little to escalate this
41:56.5
as possible and in a way that, as I said
41:58.9
yesterday, is smart as well
42:00.9
as tough. But the real need is to
42:04.8
Hamas, back on the hostages, back
42:07.0
on getting the aid in, back on
42:09.0
getting a pause in the conflict
42:15.4
The U.S. House of Representatives
42:17.2
will have its long-awaited vote
42:19.2
on aid for Ukraine, Israel, and
42:21.0
the Indo-Pacific as soon as Saturday.
42:23.8
The House Appropriations Committee
42:25.2
unveiled legislation providing more than
42:27.1
$95 billion in security
42:29.4
assistance. The effort to
42:31.2
pass the measure gained new urgency
42:33.3
following Iran's first direct assault
42:35.3
on Israel over the weekend.
42:37.5
House Speaker Mike Johnson says,
42:39.0
he would give lawmakers 72 hours
42:41.2
from the bill's introduction
42:42.5
to review the measure, and the chamber
42:45.1
would vote on final passage
42:47.0
by Saturday evening. The package
42:49.1
is largely similar to the Senate
42:51.1
version passed in February, but
42:53.1
Johnson declined to move on
42:55.2
with the bill until next week amid
42:56.9
objections from hard-right lawmakers,
42:59.1
some of whom have threatened to
43:00.8
dust him or oust him
43:07.2
majority U.S. Senate rejects,
43:09.0
a Republican-led bid to oust
43:11.0
President Joe Biden's top border
43:12.8
official. Homeland Security
43:14.8
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was
43:16.8
charged in February with failing
43:18.9
to enforce immigration laws and lying
43:20.9
to Congress. Mayorkas denied
43:23.0
both charges. The Senate
43:25.0
swiftly disposed of the two
43:26.9
articles of impeachment, rejecting
43:31.0
lines saying they were unconstitutional.
43:35.1
On this vote, the
43:36.8
yeas are 51, the nays are 49,
43:39.0
the motion is to agree to. The Senate
43:41.1
sitting as the Court of Impeachment stands
43:43.0
adjourned sine die.
43:44.7
Madam President, we've set a very
43:46.9
unfortunate precedent here.
43:51.8
can ignore, in effect,
43:55.5
the House's impeachment.
43:57.9
It doesn't make any
43:59.0
difference whether our friends on the other side thought
44:01.0
he should have been impeached or not.
44:05.9
And by doing what
44:09.0
we have, in effect,
44:12.0
the directions of the House
44:15.1
which were to have
44:18.8
We had no evidence,
44:22.8
This is a day that's not a proud day
44:24.9
in the history of the Senate.
44:28.8
welcomes the move, saying the Senate
44:30.6
rightly voted down the basis
44:32.6
impeachment. Republican House Speaker
44:34.8
Mike Johnson, meanwhile, called the Senate
44:39.0
Sports now, the Philadelphia 76ers
44:42.9
outlasted the Miami Heat in their play
44:44.9
in showdown 105-104.
44:48.8
Joel Embid powered the Sixers
44:50.6
with 23 points and 15 rebounds
44:52.6
while Nicholas Batum added
44:54.5
20 markers off the bench.
44:57.1
Tyler Hero led Miami
45:00.6
The Sixers advanced to the first round of the playoffs
45:02.8
where they will face the second-seeded
45:08.9
always been at the forefront of
45:10.7
automotive technology
45:12.2
but this sport has also an eye
45:14.5
towards sustainability and to that end
45:16.9
one team has brought in the services
45:22.6
This is a 3D printed car part
45:24.9
that goes into McLaren's Formula One
45:27.0
vehicles. As many as
45:28.9
10,000 parts are needed just
45:30.9
to design, manufacture and test
45:33.1
a Formula One car's front wing
45:34.8
assembly, many of which are single
45:36.9
use. McLaren says
45:38.9
3D printing allows them to help reduce
45:41.0
waste and emissions, heralding
45:43.0
a new era of sustainable
45:44.8
prototyping. Formula One's the most
45:46.9
technologically advanced sport on the planet
45:48.9
and therefore it's great to be using waste
45:51.0
to cut down waste and to be more
45:53.0
efficient in terms of how it produces its
45:56.9
headquarters southwest of London,
45:59.0
McLaren has a lab dedicated to 3D
46:01.1
printing. More than 20 machines
46:03.2
can produce anything from ducts
46:05.1
to body parts to jigs,
46:06.7
models and prototypes of the wind tunnel,
46:08.9
are also 3D printed.
46:11.7
To do this, McLaren
46:12.8
partnered with Israeli-US company
46:14.6
Stratasys, allowing the team to
46:16.8
print the range of filaments, including
46:18.6
carbon fiber and recycled materials.
46:21.7
Stratasys says it prints
46:23.0
up to 9,000 parts per
46:24.8
year. Senior Vice President Yan
46:26.8
Ragul. Having the ability to print
46:28.7
100% recycled filaments with their
46:30.6
new software, OpenM, is really
46:32.8
a change for the industry, which enables
46:34.8
them to significantly reduce their
46:36.7
waste, which is one of the top
46:38.9
patients for most of the customers today.
46:41.0
McLaren's Chief Operating Officer
46:42.9
Piers Thin says 3D printing
46:45.1
is also a more efficient way
46:47.1
to build a car. You're able to make
46:48.9
them with little input
46:50.9
and they come off on a
46:52.8
multi-stage build of
46:54.6
a large bed 3D printer.
46:57.3
So it's a very efficient way of making
47:01.2
when you need lots and lots of parts
47:03.2
to come together to deliver
47:06.8
Formula One aims to be net zero
47:10.7
All its cars will use 100%
47:12.9
sustainable fuel in
47:14.3
2026 when new engines
47:19.3
McLaren were certified
47:20.5
as Formula One's first carbon neutral
47:22.6
team as long ago as 2011.
47:26.3
But the sport is struggling
47:28.4
to cut emissions, especially
47:30.4
when teams and fans have to travel
47:32.7
to races. Jeremy Hart
47:34.6
is a motorsport commentator.
47:36.2
But the problem is at the moment that
47:38.7
so popular, people want to see races
47:40.6
in their own country.
47:42.1
And in the next few weeks,
47:43.8
it goes from China to Miami,
47:45.4
back to Europe for two races,
47:47.2
over to Montreal in Canada,
47:48.8
and back to Europe again.
47:49.9
So what needs to be looked at much
47:52.0
more carefully are the emissions
47:53.4
in moving the sport around the planet.
47:59.5
And that'll do it for today.
48:00.6
Thanks a lot for joining us.
