24
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>digital media as a driving force of economic and social transformation.

25
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>It is no longer merely an accessory to life, he said.

26
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:52.439
<v Speaker 1>From developing innovative platforms to building vibrant online communities, you

27
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>are demonstrating the determination that is redefining what is possible

28
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>for this country. You are not waiting for the future,

29
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you are build bilding it. Digital media is now a

30
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>central driver of economic growth, civic engagement and social change.

31
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>It broadens representation for those previously unheard. The President said

32
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>his administration is committed to supporting digital innovation through the

33
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>National Digital Innovation Fund and policies that promote a thriving

34
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:25.719
<v Speaker 1>start up ecosystem. However, he warned practitioners to remain vigilant

35
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.319
<v Speaker 1>against disinformation and cyber threats. Chief of Staff to the President,

36
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Femi Bajabia Mila, praised digital media practitioners who have consistently

37
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 1>stood up for Nigeria and projected the nation positively on

38
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 1>the global stage. You are the vanguard of a reborn

39
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Nigeria determined to reach for the stars. Under President Tanoubu's leadership,

40
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 1>our nation has begun its long delayed march toward greatness.

41
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>The road may be challenging, but it is necessary, he stated.

42
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 1>In a good will message. The Special Advisor to the

43
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 1>President on Information and Strategy, Bao on Anuga, highlighted the

44
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 1>significance of the summit. He noted that lessons from recent

45
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 1>elections in countries like the US and Germany underscore how

46
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:16.639
<v Speaker 1>digital media have become crucial battlegrounds beyond mere entertainment for

47
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 1>shaping pole outcomes. However, social media is not a fair

48
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 1>battleground as a public square. It is often chaotic and unregulated.

49
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Uses frequently disregard rules. Divisive content is rampant, league fakes

50
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and I generated content are increasingly used against political opponents.

51
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Posts are driven by cliques, not true for accuracy. Misinformation

52
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>spreads five times faster than official corrections. On Anuga observed.

53
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>He expressed optimism that the summit would address these challenges,

54
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>focusing on strategies to combat fake news and misinformation. The

55
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>summit convena Schegendada, special Assistant to the President on New Media,

56
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>emphasized it in less than a decade, digital media has

57
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>evolved from a tool of personal connection into a powerful

58
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 1>engine for communication, innovation and influence. He stressed the importance

59
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 1>of harnessing this force for the good of Nigeria while

60
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>managing inherent risks such as privacy concerns and threats to

61
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>social cohesion.

62
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 2>It is a privilege to address you and this important

63
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Digiti Media somait. The theme of this gathering un villain.

64
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:42.560
<v Speaker 2>The central role of new media in national development captures

65
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>this spirit of our times and that of our nation.

66
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Across Nigeria, we are witnessing a surge of creativity and

67
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 2>ambition as young nagen and as digital media to share

68
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>their voices and shape our society. From developing new platform

69
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 2>to building firebrands online communities, you are demonstrating ingenuity and

70
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 2>a commitment of progress that is redfining what is possible

71
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 2>for this country. You have that possibility. You are not

72
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 2>waiting to be invited into the future. You are building

73
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:49.480
<v Speaker 2>the future. New media is no longer and as such

74
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:54.199
<v Speaker 2>strate to our national life. It is first becoming a

75
00:05:54.319 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>central driver of economic growth. See if we can engagement

76
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:07.199
<v Speaker 2>and socia change. It is creating opportunities for millions of

77
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:17.519
<v Speaker 2>young people, reducing conventional barriers to participation in politics, and

78
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:24.480
<v Speaker 2>enabling broader representation of those who would previously have gone

79
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:32.360
<v Speaker 2>or hard. Your generation has understood this moment. You are

80
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 2>using digital tools to innovate, to educate, and to demand accountability.

81
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>But as this influence grows, so too most of our

82
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>collective sense of purpose and responsibility. I own you to

83
00:06:53.879 --> 00:07:02.040
<v Speaker 2>continue using digital platforms as instruments of national progress, but

84
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 2>you should build businesses that employ others, create content that

85
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>uplift those around you. Use your influence to force the

86
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 2>unity and not division. We are in a world where

87
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 2>this information spread easily. Verify before you amplify, Please lead

88
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:41.759
<v Speaker 2>the digital space. Reflect the value that bind us together

89
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:52.920
<v Speaker 2>as a people, honestly, compassionate, discipline, and patriotism. Patriotism is

90
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:59.480

91
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:07.439

<v Speaker 2>and what we stand for as a nation. This administration

95
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:36.399

<v Speaker 2>is why we are making strategic investments in digital and

97
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:48.840

328
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:17.160

00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.880

348
00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:50.519
<v Speaker 1>The Royal Thai Army continues to uphold human rights principles,

349
00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:55.119
<v Speaker 1>international humanitarian law and the obligations of Thailand under the

<v Speaker 1>side violated the ceasefire agreement with disturbances and weapon attacks

353
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:12.480
<v Speaker 1>found in multiple areas. The Thai side therefore responded accordingly

354
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:16.640
<v Speaker 1>to the situation. Regarding the meeting between military unit leaders

355
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:20.039

356
00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:24.160
<v Speaker 1>proceed with the meeting continue. The Royal Thai Army received

357
00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:27.519
<v Speaker 1>a report from the Second Army Area regarding the situation

358
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:31.839
<v Speaker 1>along the Thai Cambodia border. After the Thai side complied

359
00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:35.160
<v Speaker 1>with the ceasefire agreement after twenty four hundred hours and

360
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:39.519
<v Speaker 1>closely monitored and tracked the front line situation. Military units

361
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:43.759
<v Speaker 1>in the area reported Cambodian military operations in multiple incidents

362
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:47.799
<v Speaker 1>throughout the night until this morning. Disturbances and the use

363
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:51.079
<v Speaker 1>of supporting weapons firing into Thai territory were found in

364
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:56.640
<v Speaker 1>several areas including chong Boc Area, chong An Area, Santei Area,

365
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Prasata Kwai Area, and Fu Maar Hua area. The Thai

366
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:05.240
<v Speaker 1>side responded to the situation by deploying frontline forces and

367
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:10.720
<v Speaker 1>using supporting weapons to suppress the Cambodian military operations. Regarding

368
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:15.720
<v Speaker 1>this case, Major General Wintai Subri Army spokesperson issued a

369
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:19.640
<v Speaker 1>statement that following the joint agreement reached between the Thai

370
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:23.839
<v Speaker 1>government and the Cambodian government to seize military combat along

371
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the border area effective from twenty four hundred hours on

372
00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:31.079
<v Speaker 1>the twenty eighth of July twenty twenty five, to create

373
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:35.519
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity for a peaceful atmosphere, reduce tensions, and promote

374
00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:40.519
<v Speaker 1>cooperation between neighboring countries, the Royal Thai Army clarified that

375
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the Thai side strictly complied with the said agreement by

376
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:47.279
<v Speaker 1>implementing a cease fire in the Thai Cambodia border area

377
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:51.440
<v Speaker 1>immediately upon the designated time, with sincere intentions and firm

378
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:56.559
<v Speaker 1>adherents to the mutual commitment agreed upon by both governments. However,

379
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:00.119
<v Speaker 1>it is deeply regrettable that at the designated time, the

380
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:04.359
<v Speaker 1>Thai side continued to detect that the Cambodian side had

381
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:08.279
<v Speaker 1>used weapons to attack Thai territory at multiple points, which

382
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:11.759
<v Speaker 1>constitutes a deliberate violation of the agreement with the intention

383
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.960
<v Speaker 1>of destroying the system of mutual trust. The Royal Thai

384
00:30:16.079 --> 00:30:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Army therefore condemns such actions and the Thai side finds

385
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:23.799
<v Speaker 1>it necessary to implement appropriate retaliatory measures under the legitimate

386
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:27.839
<v Speaker 1>right of self defense. The Royal Thai Army affirms that

387
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the Thai side did not use military force for aggression,

388
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:34.839
<v Speaker 1>but to defend against encroachment and maintain national sovereignty under

389
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:40.759
<v Speaker 1>international rules. Additionally, the Army spokesperson disclosed regarding the scheduled

390
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:44.559
<v Speaker 1>meeting between military unit leaders of both sides, which was

391
00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:47.519
<v Speaker 1>planned to be held this morning, that efforts continue to

392
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:52.000
<v Speaker 1>proceed with discussions between military leaders of both countries. It

00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:54.759

410
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the Cambodian Ministry of National Defense has rejected the allegations

411
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:09.160
<v Speaker 1>made by a spokesperson for the Royal Thai Army who

412
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>accused Cambodian forces of continuing to open fire despite the

413
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:18.720

416
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:31.920
<v Speaker 1>We strongly reject the claims made by the Thai military

417
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:37.160
<v Speaker 1>spokesperson who alleged gunfire exchanges and violations of the ceasefire agreement.

418
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:42.480
<v Speaker 1>She said, Cambodian forces have strictly implemented and will continue

419
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:46.960
<v Speaker 1>to strictly implement the Army Command's instructions and the ceasefire agreement,

420
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:51.200
<v Speaker 1>which took effect at midnight. She added. A statement made

421
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>available by the Office of the Prime Minister of Cambodia

422
00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:58.200
<v Speaker 1>indicated that the Cambodian PM says there's no time to

423
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:02.759

<v Speaker 1>han Mane said this morning that he cannot rest even

425
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:09.440
<v Speaker 1>though the frontline situation has eased following the cease fire

426
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:12.680
<v Speaker 1>that took effect at midnight in accordance with the agreement

427
00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:16.039
<v Speaker 1>reached between Cambodia and Thailand at the special meeting in

428
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Malaysia yesterday. In a post on his social media platform,

429
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Sandek the Pade said that many critical tasks lie ahead,

430
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:29.039
<v Speaker 1>including monitoring the situation on the ground, supporting frontline forces,

431
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:34.319
<v Speaker 1>implementing appropriate policies for wounded and fallen soldiers, assisting hundreds

432
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:37.880
<v Speaker 1>of thousands of displaced people, and addressing the large scale

433
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:41.839
<v Speaker 1>return of Cambodian workers from Thailand. He added that his

434
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:44.880
<v Speaker 1>top priority in recent days has been to find a

435
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:47.799
<v Speaker 1>swift solution to end the fighting in order to save

436
00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:52.799
<v Speaker 1>lives both military and civilian in the conflict zones. The

437
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:56.880
<v Speaker 1>sooner the fighting stops, the sooner the affected people, especially

438
00:33:56.920 --> 00:33:59.839
<v Speaker 1>the displaced, can return to their homes and resume their

439
00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:03.440
<v Speaker 1>life livelihoods, he wrote, At a time when the nation

440
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and our people are facing hardship, I may look a

441
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:10.880
<v Speaker 1>little older because of the gray hairs, he joked. Even

442
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:13.360
<v Speaker 1>if I look older and feel a little less strong

443
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:16.679
<v Speaker 1>than I did ten years ago, my determination to face

444
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:20.880
<v Speaker 1>these challenges remains unwavering. Let's wait until the army and

445
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:23.880
<v Speaker 1>people are safe and the country has returned to peace.

446
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Then it won't be too late to dye my hair.

447
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Sandek Hakamo Hussein arpad Teko Hansen, President of the Senate

448
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:35.960
<v Speaker 1>of Cambodia has praised the ceasefire initiative of US President

449
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump, stressing that the achievement of the remarkable initiative

450
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:43.039
<v Speaker 1>has saved the lives of tens of thousands of people

451
00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:47.760
<v Speaker 1>from the Cambodia Thailand war. First of all, I would

452
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:51.639
<v Speaker 1>like to express my gratitude to His Excellency President Donald

453
00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump for his visionary initiative in creating a ceasefire and

454
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:59.599
<v Speaker 1>peace between Cambodia and Thailand. This initiative is a tremendous

455
00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:03.199
<v Speaker 1>achievement that has helped save countless lives in both Cambodia

456
00:35:03.239 --> 00:35:06.360
<v Speaker 1>and Thailand, he said in a Facebook post last night.

457
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:11.800
<v Speaker 1>The Senate President also thanked the Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibraheim,

458
00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:16.320
<v Speaker 1>who helped organize the meeting venue and facilitated this ceasefire agreement.

459
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:21.320
<v Speaker 1>This ceasefire and peace agreement is yielding positive and effective results,

460
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:27.119
<v Speaker 1>he emphasized. Moreover, sandeg Teko hun Sen extended his gratitude

461
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:29.679
<v Speaker 1>to China for its support, as well as to all

462
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:33.960
<v Speaker 1>friendly nations that have endorsed this ceasefire agreement. I also

463
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.519
<v Speaker 1>wish to thank the people of Cambodia and Thailand, along

464
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:41.039
<v Speaker 1>with both Nations armed forces for their steadfast support of

465
00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:46.320
<v Speaker 1>this peace process, he concluded. Cambodia Ministry of Information reported

466
00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:51.119
<v Speaker 1>that the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training said approximately

467
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:55.239
<v Speaker 1>two hundred three thousand, seven hundred and six Cambodian workers

468
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:59.320
<v Speaker 1>returned from Thailand between July twenty fourth and July twenty seventh,

469
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:04.599
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty. Notably, one hundred and twenty thousand, four hundred

470
00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:09.480
<v Speaker 1>and thirty eight Cambodians returned just yesterday. Today, more than

471
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:13.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and fifty thousand additional workers are expected to

472
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:17.440
<v Speaker 1>return from Thailand to Cambodia. Over this five day period,

473
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:22.480
<v Speaker 1>nearly four hundred thousand Cambodian workers will have returned. If

474
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the fighting continues, even more likely to come back. We

475
00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:29.880
<v Speaker 1>had reported that the Royal Thai Army and the Cambodia

476
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:33.360
<v Speaker 1>National Ministry of Defense have both denied firing the ten

477
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:37.760
<v Speaker 1>projectiles that destroyed civilian houses and properties at Emerald Triangle,

478
00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:41.440
<v Speaker 1>a city in Now on Thursday, just as both government

479
00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:45.280
<v Speaker 1>establishments confirmed early in the morning on Sunday that fighting

480
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:49.719
<v Speaker 1>continued through Saturday night to Sunday morning night. Despite President

481
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump of the United States US statement on Saturday

482
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:56.679
<v Speaker 1>that he has spoken on phone with both the Prime

483
00:36:56.760 --> 00:37:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Minister of Cambodia and the acting Prime Minister of Thailand,

484
00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:04.440
<v Speaker 1>asking the two parties to agree on immediate ceasefire, and

485
00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:08.159
<v Speaker 1>failure to do so, according to Trump, US will not

486
00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:11.719
<v Speaker 1>make any business deal with both countries. In his words,

487
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump said, we happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing

488
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:19.320
<v Speaker 1>on trade with both countries, but do not want to

489
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:22.519
<v Speaker 1>make any deal with either country if they are fighting,

490
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:25.679
<v Speaker 1>and I have told them so. The call with Thailand

491
00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:29.320
<v Speaker 1>is being made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended,

492
00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:33.039
<v Speaker 1>but expect a call back regarding war stoppage and ceasefire

493
00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:36.679
<v Speaker 1>based on what Thailand has to say. I am trying

494
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:40.599
<v Speaker 1>to simplify a complex situation. Many people are being killed

495
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:43.320
<v Speaker 1>in this war, but it very much reminds me of

496
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to

497
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:51.079
<v Speaker 1>a successful hault. We have reported that Asia is apparently

498
00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:54.159
<v Speaker 1>becoming a continent of War's hope of achieving peace in

499
00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the continent appeared slim since twenty twenty three, when fresh

500
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:00.840
<v Speaker 1>wars broke out in the Middle East Asia after Hamas

501
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:04.960
<v Speaker 1>attacked Israel, forcing Israel to launch a multi front wars

502
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:09.599
<v Speaker 1>in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Yemen. This occurred as Russia,

503
00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:12.320
<v Speaker 1>that has parts of its territory in Asia, had in

504
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:15.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two launched a full scale war against its

505
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:20.719
<v Speaker 1>neighbouring European country Ukraine, which The multiple wars have led

506
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:23.880
<v Speaker 1>to millions of deaths, with many in the world expecting

507
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:27.119
<v Speaker 1>an end soon. But while many in the world hoped

508
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:30.360
<v Speaker 1>for permanent end to the deadly wars, another fresh war

509
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:33.559
<v Speaker 1>broke out during the week on Thursday in the Southeast

510
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:38.119
<v Speaker 1>Asia between Cambodia and Thailand after soldiers from Royal Thai

511
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:42.559
<v Speaker 1>Army of fourteenth Infantry Battalion on Wednesday stepped on a

512
00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:47.239
<v Speaker 1>landmine at huaiban Chong and Ma nan Yuen District, Uben

513
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Ratchathani Province within the Thai Cambodia border area, causing seba

514
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:56.119
<v Speaker 1>injury to one Thailand soldier while four other soldiers sustained

515
00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:59.679
<v Speaker 1>some level of injuries, making the acting Prime Minister of

516
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:04.079
<v Speaker 1>Thaian funtham we Chaiai to recall the country's ambassador from

517
00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Panom Pen and expelled Cambodia's ambassador to Thailand, leading to

518
00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:13.519
<v Speaker 1>heavy military confrontations starting next day morning, which Cambodian news

519
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:18.639
<v Speaker 1>agency on Saturday reported that tens of thousands of innocent Cambodians,

520
00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:22.519
<v Speaker 1>including children, pregnant women and the elderly, have been forced

521
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:26.960
<v Speaker 1>to flee the military aggression along the border areas including Priya, Vihir,

522
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:31.519
<v Speaker 1>Odominchi and Persit, and The Royal Thai Army also on

523
00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:34.679
<v Speaker 1>Saturday released a video of its men hoisting the Thai

524
00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:37.800
<v Speaker 1>flag at a location and stated that the Thai national

525
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:42.559
<v Speaker 1>flag was raised atop Fu Maqueya following Thai military operations

526
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:45.679
<v Speaker 1>to assault and seize the Fu Maquaa area, where it

527
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:49.360
<v Speaker 1>said the Cambodian forces had been heavily positioned, adding that

528
00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:52.880
<v Speaker 1>the area was successfully captured during the evening of war

529
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:57.400
<v Speaker 1>on Friday. While the Prime Minister of Thailand, Piton Tan Shinawat,

530
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:00.400
<v Speaker 1>who is currently on suspension, blane the court cards of

531
00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the war on alleged powerful criminals in Cambodia, saying the

532
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:08.159
<v Speaker 1>conflict stems from the Thai government's efforts to crack down

533
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:12.559
<v Speaker 1>on call center crimes, dismantling a network of immense financial

534
00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:17.599
<v Speaker 1>interests linked to influential groups in Cambodia. Notwithstanding the Prime

535
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:22.639
<v Speaker 1>Minister of Cambodia, Sandek Mohaborva thapade han Mane, in a statement,

536
00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:26.800
<v Speaker 1>called on Cambodians not to attack businesses and citizens of

537
00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Thailand living in Cambodia, adding that after the Prime Minister

538
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:34.639
<v Speaker 1>of Malaysia and the rotating Chairman of Asian Hawai Brahem

539
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:38.039
<v Speaker 1>intervened in the matter on Thursday, both countries agreed to

540
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:41.320
<v Speaker 1>a cease fire slated to start on Friday by twelve

541
00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a m. But an hour after Malaysia Prime minister told

542
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:49.400
<v Speaker 1>him that Thailand has agreed to the ceasefire, Thailand rescinded

543
00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:53.920
<v Speaker 1>its decision and continued military actions against Cambodia and the

544
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:59.079
<v Speaker 1>Cambodia Ministry of National Defense spokesperson Lieutenant General Mali Sokita,

545
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:02.920
<v Speaker 1>in an Operation Updates on Saturday, said that Thailand has

546
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:07.840
<v Speaker 1>continued to expand its military, including its infantry forces heavy

547
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:19.599
<v Speaker 1>weaponry into Cambodia territory. Quindi Ni, Nigeria on Monday staged

548
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:23.639
<v Speaker 1>an uncommon welcoming ceremony to appreciate and celebrate the country

549
00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:26.639
<v Speaker 1>women football team, who may be apparently correct to be

550
00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:29.679
<v Speaker 1>described as winning Queens of Africa as they landed at

551
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:33.719
<v Speaker 1>the Namdi Azukiway International Airport in Abuja after the super

553
00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:40.559
<v Speaker 1>three to two in a breath taking and thrilling final

555
00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:48.119
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, marking the tenth triumph of the Super Falcons

<v Speaker 1>President Bola Ahmed said he never wanted to watch the

584

585
00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:46.519

<v Speaker 1>of naw your Mamma be this to nah Mamma be

<v Speaker 1>this to accept the First Lady as the mother of

594
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:18.480
<v Speaker 1>all in the nation, which could be recalled that earlier

595
00:44:18.519 --> 00:44:21.880
<v Speaker 1>in the year, specifically in the month of March, the

596

<v Speaker 1>me too, and it's great for a nation to have

627

<v Speaker 1>assets that are the hope of today, tomorrow, and the

632
00:46:41.159 --> 00:46:44.679
<v Speaker 1>of the final match, noting how the team's performance lifted

633
00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:49.239
<v Speaker 1>the nation's spirits and united Nigerians from all walks of life.

634
00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:53.199
<v Speaker 1>Your victory represents more than a sporting accomplishment. It is

635
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:59.559
<v Speaker 1>a triumph of courage, determination, discipline, and consistency. Honestly, I

636
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:02.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to watch the match. I didn't want to

637
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:05.639
<v Speaker 1>have high blood pressure, but people came in and turned

638
00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:09.280
<v Speaker 1>my TV on that channel. When it was two to zero,

639
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:13.159
<v Speaker 1>I got very offended and restless, but I was still

640
00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:17.880
<v Speaker 1>watching with the spirit of resilience, determination and courage, and

641
00:47:18.039 --> 00:47:21.760
<v Speaker 1>after that penalty, my strength was lifted and I believe

642
00:47:21.840 --> 00:47:25.039
<v Speaker 1>that of the nation was lifted too. But you almost

643
00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:28.960
<v Speaker 1>made me angrier, hungrier because your mother, the First Lady,

644
00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:32.920
<v Speaker 1>was in the kitchen nearly abandoning my dinner. She doesn't

645
00:47:32.960 --> 00:47:35.920
<v Speaker 1>watch the game except when the girls are playing, and

646
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:38.519
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the final whistle, it was joy

647
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:42.239
<v Speaker 1>all over the country, he said. The President assured the

648
00:47:42.280 --> 00:47:46.760
<v Speaker 1>team of his administrations continued support and commitment to sports development,

649
00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:50.400
<v Speaker 1>pledging that the government would invest further in women's football

650
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:54.519
<v Speaker 1>and youth talent development across the country. Your story is

651
00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:57.840
<v Speaker 1>a story of hope, and in this era of renewed hope,

652
00:47:58.039 --> 00:48:01.199
<v Speaker 1>we celebrate you not just as champion of Africa, but

653
00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:04.960
<v Speaker 1>as champions of the Nigerian dream. In a further show

661
00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:39.559
<v Speaker 1>describing their journey as a testament to resilience, teamwork and determination.

662
00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:44.440
<v Speaker 1>You played with passion, confidence and an unshakable belief in

663
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:47.400
<v Speaker 1>yourselves that it is not over until it is over.

664

669
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:11.360
<v Speaker 1>world champions. I told mister President this morning that you

670
00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:13.800
<v Speaker 1>were going on to win the World Cup, and he

671
00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:18.280
<v Speaker 1>thought I was too ambitious. But Ajabbade, the team captain,

672
00:49:18.760 --> 00:49:22.920
<v Speaker 1>just seconded that and that is possible, he said. Super
