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

<v Speaker 1>for this country. You are not waiting for the future,

29
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you are building it. Digital media is now a central

30
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>driver of economic growth, civic engagement and social change. It

31
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>broadens representation for those previously unheard. The President said his

32
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.159

<v Speaker 1>up ecosystem. However, he warned practitioners to remain vigilant against

35
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>disinformation and cyber threats. Chief of Staff to the President,

36
00:02:30.680 --> 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 --> 00:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>the global stage. You are the vanguard of a reborn

39
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 1>Nigeria determined to reach for the stars. Under President Tanubu'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
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>The road may be challenging, but it is necessary, he stated.

44
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 1>significance of the summit. He noted that lessons from recent

45
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.199
<v Speaker 1>elections in countries like the U S and Germany underscore

46
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>how digital media have become crucial battlegrounds beyond mere entertainment

47
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>for shaping pole outcomes. However, social media is not a

48
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 1>fair battleground. As a public square, it is often chaotic

49
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and unregulated. Uses frequently disregard rules divisive content. In line

50
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.759

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.120

57
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.919
<v Speaker 1>the next line of action to be taken, which could

58
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.599
<v Speaker 1>be to evacuate away troops out of the area or

59
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.719

<v Speaker 1>lead efforts in reconciling Cambodia and Thailand, two neighboring countries

67
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>that were nearly drawn into a more devastating conflict. Adding,

00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.320

00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 1>in Delta State as part of her Renewed Hope Initiative project,

153
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 1>and during her visit, a video clip of nigeria nursing

154
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.879
<v Speaker 1>students rejecting the First Lady as the mother of all

155
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.879
<v Speaker 1>in the nation went viral and became a popular song

156
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.320
<v Speaker 1>that was remixed by many to their desired tastes and lyrics.

157
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.919
<v Speaker 1>After the viral clip showed the events master of ceremony

158
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.799
<v Speaker 1>barely ten days after Israeli soldiers bombed the Holy Family

159
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Catholic Church in Gaza, Benjamin Natanyahu, the State of Israel

160
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:41.679
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister, has said that Israel is now being portrayed

161
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:45.240
<v Speaker 1>as the enemy of Christians, stating that Israel has a

162
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:49.320
<v Speaker 1>thriving Christian community, the only thriving Christian community in the

163
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>broad radius of the Middle East. Where Christians are not tolerated,

164
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:57.679
<v Speaker 1>they're cherished, adding you can like Christmas trees in Nazareth,

165
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.879
<v Speaker 1>but in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus. When Israel left

166
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.840
<v Speaker 1>and the Palestinian authority came in, the Christian majority shrank

167
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.960
<v Speaker 1>from eighty percent to under twenty percent because there was

168
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>no more Israel to protect them. Though Prime Minister Benjamin

169
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>Natanyahu did not mention the bombing of the Catholic Church

170
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.399
<v Speaker 1>in Gaza that led to the killing of three persons

171
00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:23.039
<v Speaker 1>and injuring to several people, including the parish priest, it

172
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.759
<v Speaker 1>could be recalled that the Israel Defense Forces idf action

173
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.200
<v Speaker 1>against the Christian Holy place in Gaza sparked global condemnations,

174
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:34.720
<v Speaker 1>with the head of the Catholic Church, Popelio the fourteenth,

175
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 1>in a statement on Sunday, July twentieth, twenty twenty five,

176
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.519
<v Speaker 1>while speaking after his Angelus prayer, read out the names

177
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.799
<v Speaker 1>of those killed in the incident and said, I appealed

178
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.919
<v Speaker 1>to the international community to observe humanitarian law and respect

179
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:53.399
<v Speaker 1>the obligation to protect civilians, as well as the prohibition

180
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:57.320
<v Speaker 1>of collective punishment of indiscriminate use of force and force

181
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:01.639
<v Speaker 1>displacement of the population. Being a church event. On Sunday,

182
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while speaking at the Daystars Together

183
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:10.399
<v Speaker 1>as One event in Jerusalem with Pastor Paula White, leader

184
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>of the White House Faith Office, said Iran is now

185
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:17.159
<v Speaker 1>being projected as the friend of the Americans. Word to

186
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>word of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech, as transcribed and

187
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.279
<v Speaker 1>made available by the Office of the Israel Prime Minister

188
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:29.360
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, reads below. Thank you Joni, thank you Daystar,

189
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.039
<v Speaker 1>thank you Paula, thank you ambassadors and the many friends

190
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:36.399
<v Speaker 1>of Israel. In the Christian world. This is the city

191
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.799
<v Speaker 1>in the land where it all began, the Judeo Christian

192
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.679
<v Speaker 1>tradition that promoted the belief in monotheism, a single God,

193
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.039
<v Speaker 1>that developed the idea of the sanctity of life, the

194
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:51.360
<v Speaker 1>sanctity of individual life, the idea of freedom. In an

195
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.440
<v Speaker 1>ancient world that was swamped with massive slavery to build

196
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.759
<v Speaker 1>these ancient empires, the Jewish people came out with the

197
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:02.080
<v Speaker 1>idea that slavery should be limited and ultimately removed. This

198
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.960
<v Speaker 1>was revolutionary. The beginning of the idea of freedom began

199
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:09.679
<v Speaker 1>in this land, and that idea spread throughout the centuries

200
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.759
<v Speaker 1>and especially in modern times, and changed the world. It

201
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:17.360
<v Speaker 1>gives hope to the world. It gives meaning to our lives.

202
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>It gives a bond between the world's greatest democracy, the

203
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:25.080
<v Speaker 1>United States of America, and the world's vibrant democracy here

204
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:28.919
<v Speaker 1>in Israel. And that's a partnership that is bonded in faith,

205
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>in history, in tradition. I had the great privilege of

206
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.559
<v Speaker 1>being invited to speak at the Joint Session of the

207
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>American Congress, and I look on the wall and I

208
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.440
<v Speaker 1>see a quote from Moses. That's our common tradition, our

209
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:47.120
<v Speaker 1>common well spring. We're immersed in the Bible, we live

210
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the Bible. We have a future because we have a past,

211
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and that past is shared by millions, hundreds of millions

212
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:57.120
<v Speaker 1>around the world. And I want to thank you on

213
00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:59.960
<v Speaker 1>behalf of the people of Israel and the Jewish People

214
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Royal Thai Army in the Cambodia National Ministry of Defense

215
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.519
<v Speaker 1>have both denied firing the ten projectiles that destroyed civilian

216
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.200
<v Speaker 1>houses and properties at Emerald Triangle, a city in Now

217
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.399
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday, just as both government establishments confirmed early in

218
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:19.279
<v Speaker 1>the morning on Sunday that fighting continued through Saturday night

219
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.879
<v Speaker 1>to Sunday morning night, despite President Donald Trump of the

220
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:26.519
<v Speaker 1>United States u S statement on Saturday that he has

221
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.279
<v Speaker 1>spoken on phone with both the Prime Minister of Cambodia

222
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:34.000
<v Speaker 1>and the acting Prime Minister of Thailand, asking the two

223
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:37.200
<v Speaker 1>parties to agree on immediate cease fire, and failure to

224
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>do so, according to Trump, US will not make any

225
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:44.840
<v Speaker 1>business deal with both countries. In his words, Trump said,

226
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:49.039
<v Speaker 1>we happen to be by coincidents currently dealing on trade

227
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.799
<v Speaker 1>with both countries, but do not want to make any

228
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:55.120
<v Speaker 1>deal with either country if they are fighting, and I

229
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.159
<v Speaker 1>have told them so. The call with Thailand is being

230
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:02.159
<v Speaker 1>made momentarily. The call within Cambodia has ended, but expect

231
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:05.559
<v Speaker 1>to call back regarding war stoppage and cease fire based

232
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:08.840
<v Speaker 1>on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to

233
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:12.799
<v Speaker 1>simplify a complex situation. Many people are being killed in

234
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:15.519
<v Speaker 1>this war, but it very much reminds me of the

235
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:19.159
<v Speaker 1>conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a

236
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:23.399
<v Speaker 1>successful hault. The Lao government had on Friday reported that

237
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>ten bombs were found having been fired into civilian areas

238
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>and affecting local residents in the Emerald Triangle, a town

239
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:34.919
<v Speaker 1>in Lao that borders both Lao, Thailand and Cambodia. A

240
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>statement from the Lao People's Armed Forces on Saturday afternoon

241
00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:43.200
<v Speaker 1>refuted earlier media reports claiming clashes between the Lao People's

242
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:48.759
<v Speaker 1>Armed Forces and Cambodian armed personnel, describing the reports as untrue,

243
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:52.080
<v Speaker 1>denying the shelling in Lao. The Royal Thailand Army in

244
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:55.919
<v Speaker 1>a statement on Saturday, said that the Royal Thai Army

245
00:15:55.960 --> 00:16:00.159
<v Speaker 1>clarifies case of artillery shells landing in Laopidi Are territory

246
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.399
<v Speaker 1>in Emerald Triangle area, confirms investigation found they were not

247
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Thai forces ammunition. According to news reports, on the twenty

248
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:13.559
<v Speaker 1>fourth of July twenty twenty five, at approximately nine forty hours,

249
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.039
<v Speaker 1>ten artillery shells landed in the territory of the Lao

250
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:22.440
<v Speaker 1>People's Democratic Republic LAOPDR in the Emerald Triangle area, which

251
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:27.000
<v Speaker 1>is the border junction between Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, without

252
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.000
<v Speaker 1>clear confirmation as to which side the shells belonged to,

253
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.919
<v Speaker 1>and preliminarily there were no reports of casualties or property

254
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>damage from the incident. Major General Wintai Suburi Army spokesperson

255
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:44.799
<v Speaker 1>issued a clarification that following fact finding investigations and coordination

256
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.919
<v Speaker 1>with security agencies of the Lao PDR, it is confirmed

257
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:51.600
<v Speaker 1>that they were definitely not shells from the Thai military

258
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:54.919
<v Speaker 1>side and the Royal Thai Army has confidence in its

259
00:16:54.960 --> 00:17:00.840
<v Speaker 1>capability to control weapon usage effectively, appropriately, proportionately, and strictly

260
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:05.720
<v Speaker 1>within international rules of engagement. However, in the recent period,

261
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.960
<v Speaker 1>it has often been found that the Cambodian side has

262
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:12.960
<v Speaker 1>been using long range fire support weapons to attack numerous

263
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:16.880
<v Speaker 1>civilian targets throughout the past two days, which appears to

264
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:20.480
<v Speaker 1>be intentional and deliberate use of such weapons against targets

265
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:24.400
<v Speaker 1>other than military objectives, such as using weapons against historical

266
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:28.720
<v Speaker 1>sites aiming to significantly mislead the international community against the

267
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:32.799
<v Speaker 1>Thai side. Asia is apparently becoming a continent of war

268
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:35.880
<v Speaker 1>as hope of achieving peace in the continent appeared slim

269
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:39.039
<v Speaker 1>since twenty twenty three, when fresh wars broke out in

270
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the Middle East Asia after Hamas attacked Israel, forcing Israel

271
00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to launch a multifront wars in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran,

272
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.559
<v Speaker 1>and Yemen. This occurred as Russia, that has parts of

273
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:54.039
<v Speaker 1>its territory in Asia, had in twenty twenty two launched

274
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:58.960
<v Speaker 1>a full scale war against its neighboring European country Ukraine,

275
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:01.960
<v Speaker 1>which the multiple war have led to millions of deaths,

276
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:05.000
<v Speaker 1>with many in the world expecting an end soon. But

277
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:08.000
<v Speaker 1>while many in the world hoped for permanent end to

278
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:11.119
<v Speaker 1>the deadly wars, another fresh war broke out during the

279
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:14.960
<v Speaker 1>week on Thursday in the Southeast Asia between Cambodia and

280
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Thailand after soldiers from Royal Thai Army of fourteenth Infantry

281
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Battalion on Wednesday stepped on a landmine at Huaibon chong

282
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:28.400
<v Speaker 1>En Ma nam Yuen District, Uban Ratchathani Province within the

283
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Thai Cambodia border area, causing severe injury to one Thailand soldier,

284
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.599
<v Speaker 1>while four other soldiers sustained some level of injuries, making

285
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the acting Prime Minister of Thailand fun from WHICHII to

286
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.680
<v Speaker 1>recall the country's ambassador from PanAm Pen and expelled Cambodia's

287
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:50.160
<v Speaker 1>ambassador to Thailand, leading to heavy military confrontations starting next

288
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:54.920
<v Speaker 1>day morning, which Cambodian News Agency on Saturday reported the

289
00:18:54.960 --> 00:19:00.240
<v Speaker 1>tens of thousands of innocent Cambodians, including children, pregnant women

290
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:02.880
<v Speaker 1>and the elderly, have been forced to flee the military

291
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:08.319
<v Speaker 1>aggression along the border areas including Pria, Vihir, Odaminchi and Persit,

292
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:11.839
<v Speaker 1>and The Royal Thai Army also on Saturday released a

293
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:14.680
<v Speaker 1>video of its men hoisting the Thai flag at a

294
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:18.319
<v Speaker 1>location and stated that the Thai national flag was raised

295
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.640
<v Speaker 1>atop Fu Maquaya following Thai military operations to assault and

296
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.079
<v Speaker 1>seize the Fu Maquaa area, where it said the Cambodian

297
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:29.440
<v Speaker 1>forces had been heavily positioned, adding that the area was

298
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:33.519
<v Speaker 1>successfully captured during the evening of war on Friday. While

299
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the Prime Minister of Thailand, Pitong Tan Shinawat, who is

300
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.279
