00:00More than 1,400 people have been killed and 3,000 injured in eastern Afghanistan after
00:06a devastating earthquake.
00:11Belgium will recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly and
00:15place sanctions on the Israeli government for its conduct in Gaza.
00:20More than 1,400 people have been killed and 3,000 injured in eastern Afghanistan after
00:26a devastating quake.
00:29The 6.0 magnitude earthquake rocked the towns in the province of Kunar, near the city of
00:34Jalalabad and neighboring Nangarhar.
00:37With much of the region affected lying in remote, inhospitable terrain, officials have
00:42warned the death toll may rise significantly as emergency teams struggle to gain access.
00:49The Afghan Red Crescent put the confirmed death toll at 825 as of Monday afternoon and reported
00:55widespread damage to property and infrastructure.
00:59A government spokesperson quoted by local media put the figures at 812 dead and some 2,500 injured.
01:07It's not the first time a deadly earthquake has struck Afghanistan.
01:11In 2023, a 6.3 magnitude quake killed thousands as it hit the region.
01:21Belgium will recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly next week.
01:27Belgian foreign minister Maxime Prevost made the announcement in a post on X, adding that
01:32sanctions will also be imposed on the Israeli government.
01:35The decision averted a government crisis triggered by disagreements between parties about implementing
01:41harsher measures against Israel over its conduct in Gaza.
01:44The sanctions will be placed on far-right Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Givir and Bezalel Smotrich,
02:10as well as violent settlers. Belgium will place restrictions on certain weapons exports and
02:16ban imports from illegal settlements. There will also be a review of public procurement policies with
02:22Israeli companies. The government will also push to facilitate increased humanitarian aid into Gaza
02:28and spend more money to fund the world food program.
02:41The issue of abortion is on the European Commission's agenda.
02:47As part of a European citizens initiative, the My Voice My Choice movement submitted a petition with over a million signatures to the institution on Monday.
02:56The text calls on the Commission to put forward a proposal for a funding mechanism to guarantee safe and affordable access to voluntary termination of pregnancy.
03:10The collective behind the initiative recalls the situation of many women in Europe.
03:14In Europe, 20 million of women do not have access to safe and accessible abortion.
03:20This means that women are still dying because of limited access to abortion.
03:23And we know that even if abortion is forbidden, women will still find a way to do it.
03:28And that's often dangerous. With our initiative, we want to make sure that in Europe, every person will have access to free and safe abortion.
03:36The initiative is a reminder that there are major disparities in Europe.
03:4125 member countries have legalized or decriminalized abortion.
03:46The time limit for abortion varies from 10 weeks in Portugal to 24 weeks in the Netherlands.
03:52Only Poland and Malta have very restrictive legislation.
03:56Warsaw allows abortion in cases of rape or danger to the mother's life.
04:00In Malta, the life of the mother and the viability of the fetus are the necessary conditions for abortion.
04:07The Commission has until March to decide whether or not to act on the petition.
04:11The Commission also stated in a press release that this initiative does not seek to create a European right to abortion.
04:18Liverpool Football Club broke the English transfer record with their latest signing of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak for 145 million euros.
04:33It's the club's fifth major signing in a busy transfer window which saw them splash out around 480 million euros, excluding add-ons, a club record.
04:43The transfer marks an end to a months-long saga of rumors and behind-the-scenes wrangling on the Swedish international's future.
04:51The reigning Premier League champions have also splashed serious cash on other major signings, including Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz and Jeremy Frimpong.
05:00The summer transfer window also broke the spending record for the Premier League, which saw clubs splurge close to 3.5 billion euros, up from 2.27 billion the previous summer.
05:11In the first place, they may be able to visit a special place.
05:17Every time, they can't visit the system without a long return.
05:21After the summer, the declaring a new return will be the one of the first few steps.
05:26After a year, the NJ tent will be arrested .
05:28The NJ tent will be counted as a year as a Walmart .
05:31When the first came to the city's face, the NJ tent will be admitted to the längstown leaving the city's back.
05:35It is so difficult to have to arrive as a destination.
05:39And all of them are going to be on the beach.
05:42We are on the beach.
05:45And if they don't expect it, they will be on the beach.
05:59We have to focus on trying to improve the resilience of people around the volcano.
06:03And one of the best ways to do that is through education.
06:07So this video, although it may seem alarmist,
06:09it's kind of trying to reproduce the worst case scenario,
06:13prepare for the worst, hope for the best sort of thing.
06:16So educating people on what the worst possible scenario is,
06:20I think is a fairly good measure to take in terms of trying to improve preparedness.
06:29The last eruption from Fuji was in 1707.
06:31We don't have any photo or video footage.
06:34We don't have any lived memory of that eruption.
06:37We only have a painting, for example.
06:40Merging that with some AI and giving them this sort of pseudo-realistic depiction of what can
06:46actually happen from Fuji in Tokyo, I think is a fairly good use of technology.
06:51The ash falling in Tokyo could have a number of different effects.
07:04It can close airspace.
07:06Japan is obviously also very reliant on a very good train network.
07:09So an accumulation of ash along the rail networks would probably halt their sort of transport that way.
07:16Ash is basically ground up pieces of volcanic rock that have been blasted apart in the explosion.
07:22It's very sharp and jagged.
07:24It's essentially a glass.
07:25So it can be very disruptive to ears, nose and throats,
07:28particularly for anything or anyone with sort of asthma or other respiratory illnesses.
07:34Let's go!
07:48He got me!
08:04This is the psionic ability hand.
08:14It's made for both humans if you're missing a hand or on robots.
08:17And I can control it with these two buttons so I can shake hands with it, we can do different
08:22grips with it.
08:23We've gone paragliding with it, we've cracked eggs with it, we've flipped pancakes with
08:27it, folded laundry, we've done dishes.
08:32So all these household daily tasks, but also more extreme things like flaming board breaking
08:37where we had three wooden boards set it on fire and we had one of our users punch through
08:40it.
08:46The house is the final frontier.
08:48I really believe that humanoid will go to space first and then to the houses.
08:54Because it's much easier to operate such a machine in a different extraterrestrial environment.
09:00The house is the final frontier in the sense that it's so unstructured, so dynamic.
09:06It requires dexterous manipulation, it requires a level of skill that only humans have.
09:11So for a humanoid system it is really the holy grave.
09:20Now we have 3, 4, 5 billion dollars circulating within the next 18 months in the humanoid global
09:27industry.
09:28This means that in 12 months it's what we call in the United States make or break.
09:32It's either it happens or it doesn't happen.
09:35So I think that we're going to see in the next 12 months cracking problem after problem in
09:40assembly, in transportation, in moving logistics.
