And today we are celebrating two great occasions. The first one is of course the International Valentine's Day and the second one is the one-year anniversary of Arbatakarba.com. Last year on the same day we began this platform Arbatakarba.com, we launched the website, the YouTube channel and my entire team was extremely excited like this was my dream project. I always had this thing in my mind that I wanted to teach literature to masses and with the grace of Almighty God finally I was able to devise this platform and I was able to begin this beautiful journey of literature and the reason why I chose 14th February was because Valentine's Day is a beautiful day you know it's a day when we celebrate love and I was always a person who was in love with literature. So this was a day when both these things came together love, life, literature all of them came together and of course my love for teaching. So I thought up why not this day. So I chose this day we you know started this platform and this year has been fabulous. You guys are incredible like I never expected this wonderful response from you guys and I am not a very social person but I'm telling you guys that the interactions I had with my students in past one year the YouTube comments the love affection you guys have shown me I have become a very social person after that I've been sharing my life with my students been interacting talking about philosophical ideas erotic love notions of platonic love and what not and it has been a wonderful wonderful experience. So thank you so much from the core of my heart I would like to appreciate each and every one who has supported me in this journey and made it what it is today. I love you all and I really wish that this platform goes on like this forever we keep on spreading love, happiness, literature to masses and we grow as a person. So in this video I'm going to share three life lessons which I've learned in the past one year because for the first time I was on YouTube I was talking to people I was interacting with this audience from all over India from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and there are so many things which I've learned in the past year. So I just thought of making this video a bit more personal talking about my life, my experiences in the past one year so that you can know me better as a person because I'm always avoided to share my social life with everybody but I think today is that special day when I have to break that boundary and just be myself in front of you. So before I move forward and talk about the three life lessons which I learned in the past one year there's a short note for you towards the end of the video there's a big surprise waiting for you guys and that's another dream project that I'm going to talk about and it is going to be breathtaking so just hold your breath till the end of the video because there's something really wonderful coming your way. So now we're going to talk about the three life lessons I learned past year. The first one is the most important for me because I have been a very serious and a sincere person before this arpadakarba.com came in my life and this platform and you guys have actually taught me that life is about celebrating every moment. So that's the first lesson I've realized as I've already mentioned in a lot of my videos that I am a perfectionist and you know the negative part about being a perfectionist is that perfection is unattainable and that is the reason why being a perfectionist is very exhausting at times because you tend to do the thing again and again and again and again and you'll never get it done because every time you'll find that there's something else you can do to make it better be it youtube videos be it my audio lectures I've been or you know working hard towards making each and everything as perfect as I can make but at the same time when I was working with my entire team my youtube creators then there were these video editors I had my back office team and when we used to celebrate these small small moments when we reached 100 subscribers and 1000 subscribers then when we reached a milestone where a lot of students were interacting with us on a regular basis then at times when there were those moments of celebration when net result came out and so many student passed exam and they were you know exchanging greetings with us and they were thanking us from the core of their heart so all these small small moments of celebration it actually made me realize this beautiful thing that life is actually about celebrating all these small things we sometimes get so engrossed in our work in our daily routine that we forget that whatever we're doing we're actually doing so that we can be happy and that happens somewhere fades away because I'm a very sincere focused girl and I like myself to be in a room where I have books I keep on studying I make videos I make audios and that is how it goes but when I used to come out of my office and meet people meet my team members and they used to tell me that see this is the beautiful comment we received and this is how people are appreciating your work and then they made a point that I don't know today we're going to cut a cake and we're going to celebrate this occasion and I'm telling you guys I actually learned this thing because of you that life is about celebrating those small small moments those small occasions those small appreciations that we get on a regular basis thank you so much for making me realize that life is about celebrating each moment the next beautiful life lesson which I learned last year is that comparing yourself to others take all the joy away now when I first stepped in this world of youtube there was so many youtubers I've been always listening to there was Prasit Thakoli there was Boone Bomb there were so many other people I've been always you know watching and reading their reviews and interviews and then when I entered in this fear I felt as if every time I was making a video I had this comparison going between my work and the work of these leaders the ones who have 5 million 10 million subscribers and then I realized gradually that it was taking that love away okay somewhere when I'm shooting a video that comparison thing is not making me enjoy the present moment of shooting a video and then gradually I learned the fact that you know we all are on a different journey we all are made in a unique manner by the god and he wants that each of us should fulfill their life purpose okay we all are different entirely different our journey are different and that is the reason why what we tend to do and how we do it is very different from the other people two people shooting the same youtube video on same topic will be very different because we both have different ideas and different way of speaking and different purpose of life so then I realized that it's no point comparing myself to others I always have this high expectations for myself and then I realized that it's good to compare yourself with what you have done in the past few days so it's comparing your previous self to the present self and one day I just randomly you know found this quote which I still find very apt in the situation that don't compare sun and moon there's no comparison between sun and moon because they both shine when their time is so it's about loving your life doing the best you can do and enjoying each and every moment there's no point comparing yourself to the other feeling as if the other person is better than you are it's about making yourself a better version every day third and the most important life lesson which I have learned in the past one year is that criticism is inevitable when I started this journey of youtube there's this counseling team I was always associated with and there was this beautiful teacher who used to tell me one thing that you're entering into a world where your work is out in the open people are going to say some really bad things about you but you just need to remember one thing be authentic to yourself keep working make yourself better each day and don't worry about what others are saying because there's only one way you can avoid criticism be nothing do nothing and say nothing so if you're actually doing anything there would be millions who would be supporting you but at the same time there would be some people who would always be pulling you down who will always be telling what is bad in your work and these are not the ones who are giving you constructive criticism they're just the ones who hate you for no reason or maybe they have their own reasons but this one your journey I actually applied whatever she told me my mentor told me and I've seen that I have become really a better version of myself and I've become a very strong person who now takes all criticism and appreciation in the same way and this is what all the scriptures the Indian mythology says that you know even if it's good even if it's bad you should remain the same the flattery should not take you to the top of the hill or not the hatred should pull you down that is how life should be lived you just need to do your best whatever is coming in your way embrace it so I think that you know this one your journey I've experienced a lot of things and it has made me a better person I have actually learned so many things I've learned a lot about literature I've learned a lot about life in general and because of all these things I thought of starting a platform where I can share all these things with all my wonderful viewers so this is the big surprise I was talking about and the big surprise is counselingdost.com so if you guys are in contact with me through social media you would like the social media pages of atatakara.com you might have seen that quite often we were sharing counseling posters we were sharing posters about the fact that if you're facing any issue in your life relationship exam anxiety or anything related to any mental disorder or maybe some tension or family issues you're free to talk to our counselors okay because when I was interacting with all my students in the past one year I realized that there was so many things because of which they were disturbed and they were not able to focus on their exam preparation so I thought of running this free counseling service for all my students wherein they can talk to our counselors and they can discuss their life issues get solution and then declutter their life and I was amazed to see the beautiful response there were so many students appreciating this initiative of mine so I thought of making it even bigger and we finally started our entire platform this is called counselingdost.com apart from that I've hired entire team of counselors who are going to assist people who are facing any kind of problem in their life and they're going to help them out talk to them make them found a solution and make their life better apart from that I'm also very proud to announce that I'm starting another YouTube channel which is also called counselingdost and in this channel I'm going to upload videos every week talking about how to make your life better in every aspect be it health be it physical aspect be it emotional aspect be it spiritual aspect and how to you know take the tension and stress from your life because you know literature is something which actually teaches you so much and the beauty about these literary works is that when you read these works and you apply it in your life you find that your life changes drastically so I thought of making a channel in which I can share my life lessons with you guys because this channel that I'm currently running it is specifically for UGC Net students and I want that all the literature lovers or all the lovers who actually want to talk about life who want to make themselves better can subscribe me join me on the other channel where we are going to talk about life you're going to see how we

website is do you deserve to be happy so we make all the efforts so that you can become happy and you can make your life happy another important thing that I would like to add here is that since it's

going to charge ever from them because I know that it is because of you guys that I was able to start this project and as a giveaway it's a small token of love from my side that we are never going to charge anything from you I'm really really happy to begin this another youtube channel counselingdost in which I'm going to talk about how to become a productive person I'm going to share some success

meet next happy learning keep loving literature stay tuned to Advilagarba.com


Hello and welcome to 6 Reasons I Loved Dead Cells. This excellent new roguelite released just a few weeks ago and it is fantastic. IGN controversy excluded. I wanted to dig into some of the elements that make this new title so memorable and so enticingly fun. 1. A world that's fun to explore. I'm always surprised and pleased to know END, when a game with procedurally generated content makes exploration not just worldwide but incredibly fun. I've played through the first couple of levels of Dead Cells about 30 times now in the course of 10 hours. And no level of the castle I've explored has become boring to me. I've learned what to expect for the most part like the timing and location of the different levels' secret gates that only open as long as you get to them below a certain time threshold. For the second level that would be 2 minutes for the third, it was either 5 or 8 and so on which brings me to the second item on this list. The trade of between exploration and efficiency. What do you go for? To explore every single nuke and cranny or do you go after the shortest route? Taking the first route may earn you a greater amount of health, better weapons, arguably more food. Did I say food? I meant gold. Arguably more gold is what I meant. Whichever way you go you will probably be satisfied and as you grow more proficient in playing the game and expecting how every type of enemy will act and attack before they do, you'll be able to take the best of both worlds almost as well as I do. Number 3. The soundtrack never gets old. There is something in Prisoner's Awakening, the track playing in the background right now which helps me to no end. And the same is true of nearly every other piece of music written for the game. Here, listen to this. It's good, it's excellent. It keeps you going and heightens your experience and it makes me look forward to hearing more from the composer, Jørn Lohlen. Number 4. Combat and controls. The combat of death cells ties everything together with the tightest controls imaginable, with a plethora of enemies all very much intent on your visceral and horrifying death. And you will die at this start, unless you have plenty of experience with this style of gaming. I didn't and I had a dozen runs before I could comfortably get past the first three levels without constantly getting played alive. These runs were instrumental in drilling each and every enemy's attack animations in those early levels, in letting me expect and respond to a wide array of actions before they were even begun. Not always of course, I still am a sloppy sap who makes mistakes and occasionally bungles at the controls, but when I am in the zone and immersed completely, I will pull off beautiful, intricate moves and attacks which make me feel like a professional streamer or something along those lines. It's ridiculously exciting and of course the amount of weapons, shields, bows, grenades, deployable skills and all that jazz makes for an incredible amount of customization in terms of complimenting your preferred style of play. I personally rarely, if ever, use shields, the only time I could recall, other than one of my first runs to try it out, was when I got an incredibly powerful shield drop from the concierge. I had to change and adapt my strategy and my gameplay on the fly, because that kind of item you just don't pass, but I didn't have to pick that shield up, not if I didn't want to. I mean, I felt that I did, but you know, you always have the freedom not to. It was just that its stats were so good compared to everything else I had, that not to pick it up would have been a blast for me. Regardless of the quality of your run and the luck you have in item drops, plenty will depend on your personal skills I said before, and that you'll learn, once again, as you play more and more. Number 5. The Animation.  This is probably my favourite game with pixelated graphics, and that is saying something. I play loads of these, let me tell you, and very few are as responsive, as fluid as this one. Yes, I've returned to that word again, because it's the best description of what's going on here. You've seen plenty of it already during this video, it's just so, so good and responsive. There's nothing more to say about it really.  The Progression. Progression relies on your replays. You earn the sales that give this game its name, and invest them in all sorts of weapon blueprints, in having random weapons at the start of the game, at getting more charges for your potion, and mutating in new and exciting ways, which give you either very explicit bonuses, or some more implicit ones. A few runes drop from elits or bosses, especially early on, and give you permanent unlocks which allow for greater exploration and the unlocking of more of each level's secrets.  So if you have over, let's say, 50 cells in your body, you better start playing a lot more cautiously, or you will be tearing out tufts of your hair to no end. I know that's how I got practically hairless. Oh the humanity. So what is the conclusion to all this? Dead Cells is an enormous amount of fun. Fun fun fun. The kind of fun you can easily get addicted to, especially if you love the 2D roguelaj genre, and the girls know I'm surrounded by people who do.  It costs 25€, or your original equivalent. I've played a mere 10 hours, and I'm already much improved. Dead Cells is also an excellent first foray for anyone who, like myself, doesn't have any experience with the genre of Metroidvania roguelajs, and is in my opinion one of the best releases of August 2018. Here is my heartiest recommendation in seal of approval. As for you, thank you for watching, if you enjoyed this video please like, share, subscribe, tell your friends, tell your mum, tell your dad, and as always, I hope to see you next time. Bye!


As the Cardinal State Chapter of the Labour Party suspends three of its chieftains and this associates itself from the LaMidia Papa function of the party, the breakfast this morning will take another look at the internal struggles threatening the party and how it can rise above it. As technology is evolving, we are going to be looking at the place of tech in architecture and how ripe we are in Nigeria to embrace smart homes. We shall also be taking a look at the headlines and off the press with someone who can give us some good breakdown of some of the headlines on our national dailies. Good morning and welcome to The Breakfast is the techno file edition of the program this Tuesday morning. I am Maureen and I am Nyam Ghul. We're glad to know that you are there and watching us. Yesterday we were here and we hope that we are all going to wake up together and enjoy the morning and today we're going to be asking ourselves as the theme of the day is tech making us smarter or dumber? Are we dumber? Are we smarter with tech coming up? I don't know. Well it's become a very important question to ask especially as some people who have been deeply involved in tech are beginning to raise concerns you know warnings about technology and how it's impacting our lives. Yeah there was a movie a long time ago I think the star in that movie was Will Smith and they called it iRobot problems that the tech experts are expressing now were captured in that movie where where the robots became so intelligent and they wanted to be independent they could think for themselves and they wanted to conquer the world and exactly that is what is playing out and some people who are who are in the tech business are expressing concerns that this AI when it does come the way we want it to come. No not the way we want it to come, the way we do not anticipate. Jeffrey Hinton who had worked with Google for over a decade left Google not long ago and is one of those who have raised these concerns and he's worried that AI you know the machines could become so intelligent that killer robots could be emerging in the future and also of course we're already aware of how machines now serve in restaurants and all of that but he's worried that we may get to a point where killer robots will emerge these machines may turn out becoming more intelligent than human beings. So that is a terrible thing to happen if it does happen and I assure you it will happen because you have robots now being created, robots that have feelings, robots that can be jealous, robots that you know. How much have you seen the men who are married robots in Asia? Some men have married robots in Asia. So well things are crazy so if this happens there's a tendency the robots might want to take over the world and there may be nothing we can do about it. So in in trying to make our lives easy and we're bringing a lot of things to make or just rest and the things begin to do things robots will now come and begin to have rights and fight for their rights and all that. Namgul I tell you this concern it is scary and it's so scary that recently more than 27,000 people including men who are very knowledgeable in tech they have issued an open letter calling for a six month pause, six months pause in the development of technology you know so that is how serious this is but then the question is the tech you know muggles these tech giants will they pay attention? Would they want to be stopped? You see world domination is a thing for a lot of people out there so would they stop and that's one of the one of the things that I think tech giants aim to achieve global domination. So would they listen to those who are petitioning who are writing and saying guys let's pause this and have another look at what we are creating so we don't end up destroying ourselves. Yeah well the tech guys want to dominate the world and so many people there's been a conspiracy theory for a long time that the pharmaceutical companies seek to dominate the world and a lot of things that happen to us now diseases that come are actually created so that they can sell their drugs that theory is there even if we cannot prove it but there are a lot of things that are happening and making us look at these theories again and saying is there some truth inside it and some people are also worried that someone who is supposed to be a tech person Bill Gates is the one who predicts how how pandemics will come and so many other things that he should have no business with but the fact that he's a millennia and maybe cashing out and all that multi-billionaire and maybe cashing out on it and all that making people get a lot of concern so if AI is developed to the point that they have a mind of them their own it's going to be a very big thing and I have this feeling in my head that one day we just might destroy ourselves and begin anew there's even a possibility that this world has existed before we don't know people there are people who say that as well but I think if we continue in the way we are going we just might destroy ourselves and civilization will have to start from scratch again no as I said some people have virgin there's no doubt that technology has improved life on earth there's just no doubt about it I mean we're enjoying what we're doing right now is thanks to technology and it's been evolving and evolving and evolving but do we know where to draw the line do we know where to say enough we should let we should let God be God yes because we cannot play God we can be intelligent creators creatures of God but we shouldn't play God and as soon as we begin to play God it means that we're going to go above and beyond we can't play God I mean any attempt to play God will mean the destruction of mankind automatically as you saw in the Bible where they built that tower they were building to get to heaven and at some point God confounded their languages and that was the end of that tower so I think mankind should learn take a lesson from that and know when to stop especially when those who are who built these technologies are themselves raising the concerns as I said Jeffrey is raising that concern and he comes from a history of you know mathematicians his grandfather was into mathematics was into technology his father was and he has been into mathematics been into science been into technology is something is very passionate about has been in google for over 10 years and developed some very great technologies but he's the one raising these concerns and saying we may have taken this too far already and we may need to take a look at what we are creating they will not listen to me I assure you they will not listen to him climate change is one of the things that all of us are seeing we're seeing the science and all that and there are people who are still doing what they're doing regardless well like you said mathematician they came from a family of mathematicians but if you live in Lagos you have to be a mathematician to be able to navigate the traffic here in Lagos and that's why you need to look at last month they will give you a travel advisory every day tell you where the traffic is heavy and where the traffic is not heavy for instance the boundary roundabout is busy according to last month as a result of influx and commercial activities mobile road in and out is good marine beach intersection in what Nagav to connect area B is good at what journey a papa through the marine marina beach or bridge rather to connect Igomu and Ijora is good both entry points of seafax and Ijora or lock bar in what total is good they ramp through total on the bridge in what navy junction to connect Leventis is also good so a lot of lot of places are good this morning traffic movement from marine beach through Dalami connecting Nagav down to area B is good a Leganza to connect a Tisela down to mr. Beaks in words are more time to Liverpool roundabout in and out is good and this moment at this moment a papa jr a in and out it's also good and return journey from Wolfgate back to a Leganza flour meals Leventis ascending Dalami bridge in what Ijora seven up is good so there are a lot of goods this morning and if you're moving well when I was on my way to this place this morning the traffic was quite good so maybe that's what is also in all the places that last month has given us that they are good we're hoping it will still be good when you live home to get to work wherever that might be okay well hopefully that happens for you let's take a look at top trending all right top trending we have a first up trending Nigerian soldiers caught assaulting citizens at Kaduna we do have a silent theme to that can we have it roll off the phone off the phone i said off the phone i'm here you are making call i'm calling a friend she wish she doesn't take him lie down lie down inside lie down i said lie down lie down inside look on the down oh don't we lie down i said lie down okay i'm not watching you lie down inside you look on the down i said lie down nobody well that's happened in Kaduna state we understand that the military has responded to this video that turned it and have promised to investigate and get to the bottom of the matter we thank god for social media we thank god for the technology that we were talking about because a lot of times this kind of things happened but um they were never reported or they were never captured and that deniability was there they could deny that this thing never happened and of course how can you show proof because you're not allowed to take still photographs in those days and who was moving with the camera if not a cameraman so now everybody has a phone and these things can be captured but these people are supposed to be in charge of the territorial integrity of nigeria they should be at the borders they should be um warning of any danger coming into the country what are they doing what business do they have in the civilian population that will give them the right or the opportunity to deal with civilians the way they do this is not the first time you know the police do their own we is bad enough with the police that we're taught to to be able to to be our friend yeah to be our friend to manage the civil civil society and then now the army going into the fray as well and doing what they do i think it's really bad and i like the response of the authorities anytime this kind of a thing happens and that they're being well maybe not proactive enough but their reactions are always very good the way i see them so please in in that video which i had initially thought was a silent thing but we had track up to it you saw we heard a lady resisting the brutality and not allowing herself to be coward and you know not entering the at least you was trying to explain exactly of that for me what what kind of it's it's really disheartening when the people you should run to for protection are the ones that you now fear it's it's terrible and that's why some in some places the Boko Haram and the bandits are festering because these people offer protection and the people pay for their services thinks that the government should do ordinarily the army the the police should do ordinarily private citizens who have now taken laws into their hands are the ones that are doing it and sometimes you ask the community people and they say what can we do because the government has forgotten they're now at the mercies of the terrorists and the bandits which is very sad sometimes you hear of these things happening and it gives you to to to know that these are fellow Nigerians within our territory being terrorized being brutalized and we hear all the stories almost on a daily basis and it's sad we've interviewed Reverend Hyap from Cardinals that repeatedly on this station and it's always been stories of woes woes and woes and you just hope that that story will change soon especially as a new government is said to come into play yes the new government should know that protection of lives and property is a very paramount thing is a primary thing that people should have from the government and nobody else because if you give it out to everybody to protect themselves we never know what it will degenerate into we saw a community that felt helpless now turbaning a terrorist a known terrorist because they needed the protection from terrorists who does that so if if things are allowed to go the way they are going then terrorists will now share Nigeria into small pockets of places of jurisdiction you know terrorist a is is taking care of this place terrorist b is taking care of this place which should never be so government the next one especially that is coming in should make sure that we are protected we our families and our properties we are all protected now you want to take the second top trending yeah well um a group Nigerian state protest at the presidential tribunal um we also know that uh the security uh agencies were also on ground trying to prevent people from uh protesting and all that but Nigerians protested and this way you have the picture yeah now this could have been solved if they had accepted to televise the uh proceedings at the courts because a lot of people would have sat back at home to watch what is going on because where they are they can't see what is happening in the court so they will always only see what they're seeing outside there but if they had televised it there are a lot of people that would have wanted to follow and I think some of these things wouldn't have come up yes but there were calls for it to be televised but it's up to the judiciary I think to decide if they want to go public some of argues that televising it may put the judges under pressure or make them anxious some people have stage fright according to some arguments well well obviously they cannot be forced to televise it otherwise they would have televised it since there were calls for it to be televised right so here we are the way it is it started already uh we've been looking forward to it starting it has started started yesterday so let's just keep watching to see how it will pan out if you ask me as a person I would say it's a lame excuse to say that they have stage fright a george has stage fright do your thing and leave the rest to God there are countries that televised this there are people who televised this they don't have two heads it's just a way of transparency and all that and if you talk about pressure you need the pressure to do the right thing because you cannot do the wrong thing under pressure when people are looking at you there's everybody my eyes are on you and you will be forced to do the right thing I heard something said by some of the judges yesterday and I said the peace of the country must be taken into consideration and I was wondering whether we're taking this to so what do they mean the peace of the country is it the peace of the country that we should just let sleeping dogs lie or is the peace of the country that there should be justice done peace of the country in what regard and who is it going to favor peace according to who and who are you considering when you talk about peace is it a grief people who think there is no justice done or the people who say okay we have done the abracadabra just let us do what we need to do and get out what peace are you talking about peace cannot exist where there is no justice if you ask me well the chief justice of the federation is definitely aware no doubt that the world is watching Nigerians are watching this is a very very sensitive time in our history as a people it's probably the biggest tribunal electoral tribunal in africa that's ever happened we have five of the political parties that went to cut over this i understand that one we threw as it yesterday well some some papers are carrying that the case was struck out the a a but others say that we drew the the case the initial narrative was that they withdrew in fact i understood they were to withdraw yesterday so that was the initial story that they were going to withdraw as a yesterday because of some whatever within their party i want to go with the fact that they withdrew whatever else the story might be they withdrew they did the right thing and they saw whatever uh was for and against them and they withdrew yeah so the major contenders are out there the labor party the pdp against the apc so it's it's a hot one and uh we're all watching we're watching let's see how it plays out and we hope that whatever the outcome nigeria will be the better for it because we can't we can't um we can't we can't survive an uprising we don't need an uprising of any kind we're not even talking about a war but we don't need any kind of we don't even need another enters we don't know but haven't you noticed and i had asked uh when we had our ballot 2023 one of the things that was very obvious to nigerians was how calmly the youth conducted themselves in the wake of all the transpired during the elections there were serious grievances there were so many irregularities yet well they were complained about but there were no you know riots there were no the youth didn't take the law into their hands they were so well behaved and it was quite instructive to see that happen and they were taking the intellectual way because if they had a fight they will go to twitter they will go to the social media so it was a good outlet yes but coming out to the to the physical they were quite well behaved like you said and whoever is in charge who whatever the outcome is going to be should never take that piece for granted should never take that behavior for granted because people of nowadays are a volatile type and it's not it's not like they just want to be but a lot of them just want the right thing to be done and if you are not able to do it they'll be asking you to leave the stage for people who can do it a lot of people before them couldn't say that maybe because they didn't have that power of anonymity maybe because they didn't have a lot of things that they have these days youths have these days but whatever be the case the right thing should just be done and if it is done everybody will be happy for it yeah let justice be seen to be done I mean those who belong to the APC will tell you that they won the election fair and square and the opponents the position are saying no you didn't win it fair and square but it's up to the judges now to to to deliver justice to look at the cases and deliver justice so we are watching to see whether justice will be delivered or not for those who are seeking to annul it and for those who are seeking to protect it so it's it's let's see if the just the the justice the judiciary would do justice to this case yeah it's possible the APC won it and if they want it fine let everybody see that they want it we know for a fact that a wrong was done by INEC not necessarily APC by INEC whether they were influenced by APCs another case we do not know about that but INEC went back on his own words ate his own words and then did the wrong thing but if it can be interpreted by the lawyers and everybody to say that they did the right thing let us see proven that they did the right thing and all that and we see a winner and emerge you know in a clean way whether it's APC whether it's AA whether it's whatever party let us just see the process that led up to that and how clean it was how clean it was and INEC is said to prove to you that the election was you know clean I understand they've billions of Naira to defend their stance our Naira because INEC has no money of its own exactly taking our money to fight with us that is something that needs to be looked into when EFCC should move they don't move when ICPC should move they don't move if 400 billion was voted for INEC to do the right thing conduct election in the right way where they're getting the extra money to go and fight these cases in court should INEC even be saying whatever we have said we have said it's it's terrible so let's see how it plays out let's see how it plays out you're watching the breakfast on plus TV Africa it is a Tuesday edition technophile we'll call it we'll be right back to take a look at the headlines do stay with us


horse of the speed of light, the cloud of dust, and a hearty high old silver, the Lone Ranger. In the early days of the western United States, the pony express riders were chosen for their endurance, skill, and bravery. The trails they followed led through a dangerous country and many times the mail would never have reached its destination if it had not been for the masked rider of the plains. It was he more than any other man who drove the outlaws from the new territory and safeguarded the first system of fast communication on the frontier. Return with us now to those thrilling days when the West was young. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the Great Horse Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again. The one-story frame building that served as meeting hall and courtroom for the tiny frontier town of Buffalo Gap was jammed to the doorway with call-punchers and townspeople. Every eye was fixed on the young man who stood with his hands tied behind his back, his arm held by the sheriff as he faced the judge to hear his sentence. Podgrim, the juries found a guilty of murder according to the evidence. This court states that on the morning of Tuesday next, one weekend, you were to be taken out of dawn and hanged by the neck till you're dead. And may God have mercy on your soul. Take him back to the jailhouse, Sheriff. That's all. You can't string me up. I didn't do it. Come on, Graeme. I didn't do it, I tell you. You're making a ruckus. Come on. One side, folks. Right through this door, Graeme. No sample cutting through this curtain. Out of the way! Quiet! Quiet at this court! You just leave the sheriff. He is prisoner of oath! It's just across the street, Graeme. Keep walking. Yes. I tell you I didn't do it. The jury decided again that I reckon it settled. Hanged by the neck until dead. Next Tuesday. I reckon so. Only a week more. Just a week. And here we are. Reckon the matter. Put your back in your cell, Todd. Yeah. Todd, I... Don't go on it. I'm sorry about this. The evidence is again, the verdict's in. But all along, I couldn't believe you'd done it. I couldn't believe it. I agree with you, Sheriff. I'm an mask man. Don't slap leather, Sheriff. And now, Claude, I... I wouldn't if I were you. Shave, did you see that?  Lightning fast on the drawer, aren't you, Mask Man? How'd you dare to come into town anyway? We knew the whole town would be in the courtroom. We left our horses out and back where they wouldn't be spotted. Todd-o. A ninja pard. Yes, Sheriff. Keep watching the street, Todd-o. Make sure we're warned before anyone comes here. Well, me tell me. Me watch. What did you come here for, mister? Your prisoner's name is Graeme, isn't it? Well, that's my name, but I've never seen you before. We found a saddle out on the plains. Had your name on it. An old saddle, Graeme. You and the engine found it? Yes. You can leave the window a moment, Todd-o. Oh, got a saddle in blanket. Yeah, a saddle. Oh, let me go back to wind. Well, that's mine, all right. Yeah, but I don't see what this proves, mister. Todd Graeme was convicted of that crime because one of his broken stirrups was found near the scene. This saddle is missing a stirrup. That clinches the case.  Yeah, but that... Just a minute, Sheriff. On that stirrup you found, was the strap broken or cut? Why, broken, of course. Looked as if the leather just parted. Take a look at the strap on this saddle we brought in. What about it? What are you driving at? Take a good look. Oh, I don't savvy what all this fault all has to do with... Hold on. Be a pack mule. This leather's been cut. Not broken, it's been cut. Yes. Well, but it don't make sense. How could one end be cut and the other end broken? It would make sense if someone cut a stirrup off the saddle and tore the loose end so it would look broken. Ah, Sheriff, jumpin' golfers. What the man's manner says is what I've been saying all along. Somebody done it on purpose to make me look guilty. Well, yeah, it could have been that. But you need more than that to get you out, Grimm. That's too slim to get a new trial. It isn't. I'm afraid so. The whole town's against you. It's too bad, son. If I only had more time before this hanging is scheduled, the time to look for more evidence. You can make time, Sheriff. Well, how can I? Judge set the date a week from Tuesday. You can get a stay of execution from the governor of the territory. What? Well, so it can, by Pony Express. Would it get back in time? In plenty of time. And you could make sure you get the real criminal. I'll send a letter by this evening. Miss Manor, I don't know how to thank you. No, me. As Sheriff, I like to see justice done. And I think Todd's innocent. You know, when I found you here, I thought first, you might be meaning to break Todd out of jail with guns. My mission is to help the law, Sheriff. That means doing things according to law. Whoever you are, I'll never forget this. Never so long, Executive. Yes, Todd-O. We go now. And the men come. Right. We mustn't be found here. Out the back. Adios, Sheriff. Keep your chin up, Graham. Adios! Sir, they sure move fast. Sheriff, you think the governor will give me a stay of execution? You go on, Todd. Get into your cell, pronto. I got work to do. I got to write that letter and get it off on the Pony Express tonight. I'll send you away! Go away! Right as soon as any minute. Can't hold him up for one of the fresh horse. Concern that lazy groom. Howdy, Clanch. When you come in. Oh, I like to drop into the Pony Express office every once in a while, Johnson. I'd like to see the riders come in, get fresh horses and dash off again. Adds a little excitement to the town. Got plenty of excitement already. You mean Todd Graham getting convicted? Yeah. Too bad. He's a real nice gent. Not in my books. What I say is he's getting no more he deserves. I see the sheriff is sending a letter by Pony Express to the governor of the territory. That's private mail, Clanch. I was just curious, Johnson. No harm done. Yeah? Now look at here, Johnson. You don't for one minute think I got any reason to go prying on other people's affairs, do you? Please, come on, boy! It's Dudley coming in with the Pony Express. Yeah, let me help you with them saddlebags. Get away! All right, all right. Hang on to your precious mail. Dudley's coming in alive. You got that remount ready? He's ready and waiting, Mr. Johnson. Well, what in the blaze? Mrs. Dudley, since when did you take the grooming horses for the Pony Express? I told Lige to let me hold the reins. It's seldom enough I get to see my husband. That's all right, ma'am. Here, I'll just... Please, Mr. Johnson, let me put those saddlebags on the horse. Why, sure. Looks like you trust her and don't trust me, Johnson. Maybe so. Here he comes, Bob! Bob! Hi-D, everybody! Where's Marie-Bob's? I made record time for Middlebridge and I'm going to split the wind from here to Osage. I-Made! Hello, Bob. Have you got any time for your wife? Honey, what time I got is sure yours. How about a kiss? Dudley. Oh, oh, yeah, Johnson. I plum for God. Here's your mail for Buffalo Gap. This rest goes on to Osage. I'll sort this right now. Better get traveling, Dudley. Adios, Johnson! Sorry, May. Time to slip my foot in a stirrup. A friend of yours slipped more than a foot in a stirrup, Dudley. Oh, howdy, Clench. You didn't see me in the dark, huh? I saw you, but I'm not eager about talking to you. Just what did you mean by that passing remark? Todd Grimm's due for a necktie party. What? Well, are you... Bob, please. You haven't time. I'd like to lay one alongside Clench's jaw. Graham's a friend of mine and he knows it. You've got to ride. Yeah. Fair moves, Clench. Now, look here, Dudley. I said fair moves, cadet. Having you around is worse than playing leapfrog with a skunk. Get traveling. Kino, maybe I'll be seeing you later. That plays inside-winder. Now, Bob, listen. Is what he said true, May. Yes. Is Todd... Are they really gonna...? Yes, Bob. Next Tuesday. They've convicted him on that flimsy stirrup evidence? Oh, I tell you, May. Wait, Bob. There's still a little hope. Huh? I came here to see you, but there's something else. The sheriff is trying to get Todd a stay of execution. He is. There's a letter to the territorial governor writing that saddlebag. Gosh, then it ain't as bad as it seemed. I don't know what convinced the sheriff, but he's trying to help Todd. He sure is. And so will I. It's a horse of fat. When am I standing around for? Come here, horse. Sooner or I get a move. When the sooner that letter gets to the governor. Good boy, May. I got to travel. Now I'm really gonna bust the record. Get up there! Come on, boy! Get up, boy! It's me, Clench. It's you, Bullet Clench. You should have spoken your name sooner. You alone? What else would I be? Thought I was an outlaw, huh? I don't count in a lawman. Speak your piece, Clench. Just a second. You're acting spooky. Something wrong? Yeah. Maybe trouble. What kind of trouble? That job we done ain't certain as well as I figured. Yeah, stop circling.  Todd Graham may not hang, Spider.  He's already been convicted, ain't he? Yeah, but there's a chance... We've settled him good with that hold-up job. He was tried and the jury called him guilty. And the judge says he's to be strung up Tuesday next. Mm-hmm. And you still say there's trouble?  You're sure of route to the governor of the territory, Spider. I don't care what you say, huh? What's that? Maybe Graham's going to get a stay of execution. Is this straight? As a string. I moseyed over to the pony express office. Not only did I see the envelope, but I heard Dudley's wife tell him. What did you do? Nothing. Johnson was too suspicious of me. If I had the chance, I'd have taken a letter then and there. And now? In Dudley's saddlebags. He's riding boot and spur for Osage. Fast, huh? Fast as his pony can pound the prairie. Doggone it? Why didn't you ride after him and shoot him?  He's got a fast pony. Besides, killing won't solve it. That stay of execution can't be stopped. There's only one way. There is? Supposing, Spider. Just supposing the governor's answer got misplaced. So it disappeared until after Tuesday. It wouldn't do Todd Graham any good then, would it? You mean it? I mean when a man's been hanged it's too late to bring him back, savvy. Yeah, Clench. We're riding toward Osage, Spider. We'll be waiting for Dudley when he heads back here. Yeah, Spider. Todd Graham wouldn't be feeling so chipper if he knew about us, huh? Yeah? Yeah, Todd. Here's your dinner coming. My dinner? You haven't got a tray in your hands. Nope, it's coming right along behind me. Come in, Miss Dudley. Hello, Todd. May. Oh, gosh, how are you? Just fine. Now, if you'll open the cell door, Sheriff. Shucks, I cling for God. May, how about bobbing that letter the Sheriff sent my pony express? Is there any news? Now, Todd, you just eat. Will, Todd. Take it easy, son. It's only been three days since that letter went. Only have four days left. Bob's laying over in Osage. That letter had to go all the way to St. Francis. He won't see the Governor's letter for another two days, at the very least. It'll leave only two days. That's time enough. Bob rides from Osage here in less than a day. Sure, Graham. And meantime, the masked man's helping me dig up the real evidence. I'm plumb certain somebody framed you. Who do you think? Well, I'd rather not say it, till I'm sure. But who's that? Jumping catfish. That sounds like the masked man. That, in a day, must be something important.   I'm going to see. It can't stay too long. Hurry. I'm right here, masked man. Is it about Graham and it? Thunderation. I forgot to lock his cell door. Forget it, Sheriff. He won't break jail. Yeah, I reckon not. Sheriff, Todd and I have found some more evidence. It points to Clench and Spider. Enough to start a new trial? No, not enough. But then what's the use of it? That's not all. Todd and I went to their cabin. Sheriff, Clench and Spider are gone. They may have been gone for two or three days. But we could see their trail at least toward Osage. Osage? The Pony Express route. You're thinking the same thing we are. Do you think they're aiming at dry goats, Dudley? Todd and I have fast horses, Sheriff. You stay here. We can do it well alone. Sheriff Silver. Masked man, just a second. I can get a posse. There's no time, Sheriff. You stay here. What's the date for the hanging? You'll try on the trail, Todd. Get him on the trail, Silver. Sure, he'll try. But if anything goes wrong, heaven help Todd Graham. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. How to continue our story. The Lone Ranger and Tonto had come to the aid of a man condemned to death. Convinced of his innocence, the masked rider had prevailed on the sheriff to send a letter by Pony Express asking the governor for a stay of execution. But the Lone Ranger found that the many suspected of the crime had left their cabin. Quickly, he and Tonto set out to trail them. The trail marks are faint, but they head east. Osage, that way. You think they go along Pony Express? It's hard to say. They may have quartered even further to the east. And why they do that? Towards St. Francis. That's where the governor is. They might try to hold up the stay of execution there. Maybe so. But maybe they think it better to stop Pony Express rider on trail. It's a gamble either way, Kimosabi. Only one thing for us to do. We keep on to follow the trail. Maybe slow going later, but we'll follow it as long as we can. What happen if we lose trail? We'll discuss that when the time comes. Faster, Silver. Very much so. Plains, how long do we track along this creek? Oh, a couple miles maybe. But what for? Just follow along, spider. I'd like to know what a reason for a thing is, Clanch. Kimos, spider. Start out bold as brass, making no more attempt to cover our tracks than a herd of stampede and buffalo. Yep. They make camp last night with a regular fire. Then this morning I wake up. You've scattered the fire, covered it up. Uh-huh. All day long, we've been covering our tracks real careful, like playing safe, spider. I got to thinking last night. Well, we know maybe the sheriff's got a line on us. He convicted Graham, didn't he? Sure, but then he got doubtful. Why else would he look for a stay of execution? Hey, that's so, Clanch. That's smart-figuring. I aim to keep it smart. You mean maybe the sheriff is still out looking for evidence? Yeah, evidence against us. Think he's got any? I don't know. That's why we're playing it close, Abby. We cross the hard pen four times. The horse has left no track. Then we cross the quicksand.  And now this water. Yeah, when I do something, I do it complete. Like you frame Graham. Yeah, and like he's going to stay framed to let noose goes around his neck. He's getting dark, Clanch. You know, up this bank. Get up, horse. Make camp up here? Yeah, dry camp. No fire for anybody to see. How much further do we got to go before we're alongside the Pony Express Trail, Clanch? I guess you don't know where you are, huh? I lost my bearings long ago. You'll rain up your horse. Take a look around you, spider. Take a good look. You've been in this section before. Hey, this begins to look familiar. Yeah? We're sitting right next to the Pony Express Trail, right next to it. Yep. You mean all we got to do is camp here till dead becomes alone? Yes, spider, that's all. And I don't reckon there's anybody in the west slick enough to follow that trail, we said, either. We must have left this hard pen someplace, Kimosami. Ah, but where? Rocks stretch plenty far. We've been quartering across it all afternoon. Wherever the rock ends in sand or dirt, there isn't a sign of their tracks.  Too much. Here we are, back at the quicksand again and that's... Oh, what matter? Why, you stop? Out of. The quicksand, they might have used an old trick. What you mean? They could have crossed the quicksand that way. Hunter, not understand, Kimosami. If they take horse in quicksand, horse sink down till sand cover them. Ground too soft. You recall those willows we passed back before we hit the rock? Uh-huh. Many of the twigs and branches had been cut. I wondered why they took them. That's right. They not use them for firewood. They could have used them to cross this quicksand. Ah. You send me what they do. Hunter, not think of that. No wonder we found no trace. The quicksand leveled out as soon as they passed and the branches sank out of sight. Come on. We'll circle the quicksand until we locate them. You circle the west. I'll head around the eastern edge. If you see any sign, fire two shots. Maybe they're here shots. We'll have to risk that. Get them up, scoundrel. Come on, Silver. There's Tonneau up ahead, Silver. He didn't fire his gun. Aye! Any sign, Tonneau? No. We not find anything. I saw no tracks either, Kimosabe. That means only one thing. We lose trail. No. Huh? Follow me this way. Where we go? Just around this patch of sagebrush. Here. A creek. Yes, Kimosabe. The creek drains from the quicksand. They left the quicksand in the water. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. They left the quicksand no place else. They must have left it here. We go heat pass along creek now, huh? Until dark, Tonneau. And we'll start out again in the first light of morning. All I hope is that we're not too late. Spider. Spider on your feet. What? Clarence, what's the matter? Don't go all night. Spider, nothing wrong. You heard something. You heard somebody after us. Nobody's after us and I heard nothing. The only reason I'm rousing here is it's time to get set. Can't you see it's coming along to dawn. We're moving out. I've got the horses saddle already, Spider. Follow me. Spot I picked is just a hootin' holla down the trail. While we ride, I want you to take the kinks out of your lariat. Yeah, what for? Just do it. I'm doing likewise on mine. All right. Yeah, I want a nice and limber. Deadly ought to be galloping through this way in a couple hours. If he keeps the schedule. If anything, he'll be ahead of schedule. Yeah, he'll rain up. This the spot? Yeah. Good spot for an ambush. We can hide right behind them cotton woods and the bluff. Uh-huh. Tie these two lariats together, Spider. Right. Good and tight. How's that? It'll do. I'll tie this end around this tree. Blow down right near the ground. Take my horses reins. Lead them back toward our hiding place. You're burying that rope under the dirt? Sure. That's so as Dudley don't see it until it's too late. Until it's... Now I get a clench. So that's your ski. That's it. Come on. We'll stay hid back here further with one end of the rope snubbed around our saddle horns. We pull back just as Dudley crosses yonder. His pony hits the line and goes down in the heap. He'll never know what done it. Yeah, and we take the governor's letter from the saddlebags. Now all we do is wait. Simple, ain't it? The ground, boy. The pony express has got to get through. There's a bluff in the cotton woods. We're making extra good time. And we got it. I got that stay from the governor right in the saddlebag. I... Watch out! Come up just right to send him a sprawl. Is he hurt? No, no. Just unconscious. Use your gun. Don't be local. No sense in shooting. He's in such an old-fired hurry you'll start riding again the minute he comes to what I want is pony. Yeah, boy. Steady, fella. That's it, boy. That's it. Now! Hold his reins. I'll look through the saddlebags. Take the one that side. I got this. That's plenty of mail in this pouch. Here it is. I got it. Official seal. Take a look inside. The governor of the territory extends a stay of execution to Todd Graham at the request of Sheriff. Yeah, that's it. Throw it away. Throw it away. Nothing. Hey, what the... It's Dudley. He's coming too. What? I don't think he lost the letter. He won't stop to look now. Unhitch that last sue and get back out of sight. Yeah, take the horse. Fast. Come on, horses. Use the rope. Get back. There's just some time. He's waking up. What happened? Oh, I recollect. Must have put your foot in a gopher hole, boy. Steady now. Steady while I climb into the saddle. Pretty groggy, but I reckon it'll clear up. I hope you can travel, pony. At least ways you can make it to the next station with a fresh horse. We've got to get the buffalo gap before they hang, Todd.  You didn't even look to see if the letter was gone. His pony is limping. He'll make good time anyway. He gets fresh horses along, but it won't make any difference. He'll show up there without the stay of execution and Graham will be done for.  Where's the letter? Safe and sound. I'll hold it a while and toss it away. Let it drift with the wind. But I'll read it a couple of times more first. It makes me feel extra good. The territory extends a stay of execution to Todd Graham. Will you stop reading that letter, Clinch? Do you know it by heart now? Get rid of it, will you? Nothing can happen now. Clinch, two riders just come over the range. They travel. They're after us. They're coming up fast. Throw that letter away. There, there. It's gone. Grab for your horse to shoot him. Don't shoot again. That horse. Your mask. The lone ranger. Clinch did the killing when we held up that stage.  He's innocent. Spider, you yellow coyote. Let me pick up letter. You look. I'm a pardon from the governor. Clinch and Spider confessed. Toto, tie these men to their horses and head for Buffalo Gap. I'm riding ahead to save Todd Graham. You go plenty past. It's a long way to ride one horse. Silver can do it. He's beaten the Pony Express Relay before this. We'll make it.  Help, Silver! Here's the cottonwood, gents. I'm sorry about this, Graham. But, Sheriff, I could have swore I had that stay of execution on the saddle-bike. I must have lost it. You talked this over before, gents. The law is the law. I'm ready, Sheriff. I know you did your best for me. You too, Judge. Todd. Well, you better take me away from here. Promise me you won't rest till you find the real crooks. We promise, Todd. We promise. Graham, the rope's ready. Well, I reckon I am too. Come on, may you. Can't stay here. Not when they're gonna hang, Todd. Puttin' blazes. There's a mask, man. Don't shoot. The body's shoot. He's firing in his air. Don't shoot. Sheriff, we can start your hanging. Here's a note from the governor. It was stolen from the Pony Express on the trail. Glory to me. Deadly did you hear that? Graham, this is it.  Judge, Judge, take a look at this. Stolen from me on the trail? Yes, man. I don't savvy. Todd, hold on. I found where clenching spider has spilled your pony with a rope. A rope? So that was it. I never thought they're lookin' the saddle-bags. Missy, you saved my neck. Now, all the Sheriff's gotta do is to find clenching spider. Come on, head them now. What? They rope to their horses and they've confessed to the murder. Sheriff! Sheriff, do you hear that? The Masked Man's engine part's got clenching spider and they've confessed. He's bringing them in for you. Todd, that means you're a free man. Sheriff, let me go with you and bring those parmots in. Shucks, Graham.  Huh? There's no use in us goin'. The Masked Man's already on his way after him. Doin' the law's work for us. And, mister, he's doin' it better than any lawman I ever saw.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening for some of us to this session as part of the Sustainable Development Impact Summit on Harnessing Technology for the Global Goals. My name is Antonia Gavill and I head our program on technology innovation for public goods at the forum. And I'm very pleased to welcome you all here today. So we're all here, I think, really for two reasons. One is that we know about the awesome power and potential of the fourth industrial revolution and the technologies that it brings to bear. But also, the second is that we know that we desperately need a quantum leap really in progress towards achieving the global goals, which is why we look to solutions offered by technology and the fourth industrial revolution for a potential, let's say, alternative path to complement all the work that we're doing. So in January in collaboration with PWC, we launched a report and highlighted that about 70% of the global goals can be accelerated with the application of 4IR technology, things like big data, AI, and much more. But, and this is a pretty big but, it is not happening at scale and it won't happen at scale under current market conditions. The billions that are flowing into applying technology are currently flowing into market competitive applications, which of course makes sense. But unfortunately, many of the global goals are certainly not in that category. And so, while we have a lot of great examples, applications, we need many, many, many more and we also need to think about how we can scale these to help make progress. So that's what the 2030 vision partnership is really all about. It's a platform to bring together partners from across public, private sectors to really help unblock the barriers that are standing in the way of putting more 4IR technology to work for the goals and our 2030 vision co-chairs, Simon Seeger, as Ackham Steiner, will certainly tell us more about that in our panel. Another finding from our January report is that we need leadership, leadership from businesses, leadership from governments that translates then into action. And that's why following interviews with many executives, including some of you on the line with us today, the forum with PwC released a framework for corporate action this week as well. Celine is with us here and we'll talk a bit more about that in one of the breakout groups also. We'll follow that work up with also further action on government leadership and frameworks to help define how governments are taking a leading role but also what more can be done there as well. So we'll certainly discuss some of that in our conversations also. So basically this session is really about trying to translate that vision of 2030 vision platform really into moving this agenda forward and taking some of these insights into collaborative action with all of you here today. So first, I just have to cover a couple of housekeeping rules. For those of you who are joining on top link, you can feel free to maximize your screen, your Zoom. This is where we'll be for the next 90 minutes. We do have a chat function. I'm sure many of you are used to this now. We really encourage you to share your ideas, your comments, your questions. We wanna integrate that into the conversation. At least do keep yourself on mute if you're not speaking just to help us maintain a good flow here. And finally, this segment of the presentation will be broadcast, but as we go into the breakout discussions, it will be chatting house rules. So we won't be attributing any perspectives there. And the second point is that after the panel, we will break out into three breakout discussions. So what we'll ask you to do is to pick which discussion you'd like to be a part of, giving us an opportunity to go a little bit deeper into some of these issues. So the first breakout, focusing on global goals and the 4IR technology to help us fast track country level progress and recovery, so country action. Breakout two is focusing on establishing inclusive, secure and ubiquitous connectivity as a prerequisite for advancing the global goals. So two, connectivity. And three is about the business case for technology leadership as a lever for sustained and sustainable growth. So breakout three, business. And so what you can do, and you should see the instructions here, is put the number, rename yourself. There's a little button in the top right corner of your image. Rename yourself by putting the number of the group that you'd like to join at the beginning of your name. And that will help the team then put everybody into the right conversations. So I think that's about it from me. And with that, I'd like to hand over the session really to Jennifer Schenker, who is the founder and editor-in-chief of The Innovator, who will expertly guide us through the conversation. Thank you. Thank you, Antonia. I'm very pleased to introduce our panelist, Akim Steiner, administrator from the United Nations Development Program, Simon Seegers, CEO of ARM, and the 2030 Vision Initiative. His Excellency, President Massisi of Botswana, and Jacqueline Fuller, CEO of Google.org. We're going to start by giving Akim and Simon one minute each to talk about why the 2030 Initiative is so important and why they chose to be its co-chairs. Akim, let's start with you. Thank you, Jennifer. In a minute, let me put it very briefly. In the midst of COVID-19, I think we have all been confronted with what it means to be digitally connected or not connected, whether you have children who can continue their education, whether you have access to telemedicine, whether you can access cash transfers. So I think the moment in which we find ourselves has really focused our attention on the significance of that digital revolution that is unfolding, that fourth industrial revolution. And for us and for me who leads the UN's development program, you can put it in a very simple formula. The future of development is digital. And therefore understanding how a technology led, but nevertheless also a revolutionary and transformative set of developments are going to shape what happens in countries to each of us in our economies, in our societies, is fundamental to making sure that we are able to achieve an inclusive outcome because technology can also be a great divider. And I think when the World Economic Forum established Vision 2030, what is very enticing about the idea of coming together is that we do really need to have the technology companies, but we also need governments who provide the regulatory framework. We need the world of investment. We need public, private and citizens to really come together and shape this ecosystem around which digitalization is likely to transform every aspect of our lives. And just to have the privilege to co-chair with Simon, whose life is really in electronic engineering, semiconductors, microprocessing, leading a major company that is driving our ability to deploy digital. And for me to come from a public organization in the United Nations family, and I have other colleagues also in Division 2030 who are contributing, I think it's an illustration of the power of partnership that we need because this is truly an ecosystem we are shaping. This is not just technology, it's not just connectivity, it is the kinds of services that will either make the future as nations, as economies, but also as a global family, more livable and more sustainable, or potentially more divisive and exclusionary. And I think that is the idea that has brought us all together in working with the World Economic Forum as a platform to experiment what this could look like. And I think in the panel, already you have a great illustration of that. So with that, back to you Jennifer. Thank you so much for painting such a great picture of the importance of all of this. So now let's turn to Simon. Please give us your perspective. Thanks Jennifer, and hi everyone. Thanks for joining us today. ARM forms 2030 vision in 2017 because we believe that technology, including the kind of technology that we design at ARM, can underpin every goal. But not just that, but because we believe that cross-sectoral collaboration is critical if we automate the most progress. Because we will limit what can be achieved if companies work alone, or if we work one by one with different human agencies on different projects, it's just going to be very fragmented and we won't make as much progress as we could. Further, will be limited unless nations really do come together, including work done by NGOs, including civil society, everyone needs to pull together on these objectives. So our conclusion is that we need an unprecedented level of collaboration across and within sectors, governments and nations. So that's why building on the initial success that we have with 2030 vision, we've recently merged with the World Economic Forum so that we can scale up these collaborative efforts. ARM's committed to support 2030 vision with both financial resources, with staffing to really help this partnership. And I'm really excited to be working with APIC to lead 2030 vision together and with you, our partners, turn all of this ambition and potential into action. Thanks a lot, back to you, Jennifer. Thank you for that inspiring overview. Let's now move right into our panel discussion. So, and we'll start with Akim. The United Nations Development Program is working actively with countries on their near-term COVID response, as well as advancing longer-term progress towards the SGGs. If we look to 2030, what would you like to deliver, ideally with the help of all the people who are participating and watching today? Well, many things, but again, to perhaps pick a couple of aspects. One, we need to connect the rest of the world. As of today, probably 45 to 50% of the world's population still don't have access to internet and broadband. So we are in the midst of a world that is suddenly split into two. Those who have access and can afford access and those who don't. So the first priority must be, and this is not just laying the cables, the fiber of the cables. It is also creating an economy that allows poorer people to be able to participate in that economy. But a second aspect is, and I'm sure the President Botswana will address this also, you need to look at, for example, your education system. How do we enable and prepare young people to be able to succeed in that world? Because one of the great opportunities of this digital economy is that it is not as geographically and physically bound as the story of the Industrial Revolution. Some of the greatest innovations are now happening across the African continent in Asia. It's a much more dispersed revolution. And I think the way that we can help to create economies in which people can thrive and poverty eradication. I mean, all these elements that we define in the Sustainable Development Worlds can become part of it. And I personally have learned a lot in the last year and a half, particularly about fintech, digital finance. It is one of the greatest potential tools for bringing people who are in the traditional financial system had no way of being able to participate. They could not borrow because they have no credit record, no physical address, no account. Banks did not want to deal with them. We now have hundreds of millions of people trading on, transacting, borrowing in the morning, repaying in the evening, even as a market trader, money. This is capital becoming much more ubiquitous and available to poorer people. And that is very much the mission with which UNDP, and I'm sure my colleague Charlotte from UNICEF will speak to that later on as well, view that digital possibility in a larger development setting. So by 2030, all the goals, the Sustainable Goals will actually be more achievable if we make digital a part of it. Thank you. With that, I'd love to turn to President Massisi. Botswana was one of the first countries in the region to adopt a science and technology policy back in 1998, and has since been a regional pioneer in the developing a national innovation system. You recently established a multi-sector committee to work to align with the 2030 vision country facilitation. Can you tell us how you think the 2030 vision can provide a framework for recovery and resilience for your country post-COVID-19? Well, thank you very much, Jennifer, and good evening to everybody on the panel. I'm really glad that the question was asked because not only have we undertaken those changes in policy as a response to the challenges that we faced, but one of the best ways to actually respond to COVID-19 challenges is to fast-track everything that are in our plans for digitization. And in doing that, it's the quickest most democratic route to reaching everybody, including as many as you could, and reconfiguring our citizenry for the new world post-COVID, which would take account of the threats posed by COVID and enhance efficiencies. And so we're in a position where we have our digital transformation strategy and we're more than fired up to launch. And in launching, as a country and a country in the middle of a region, a region in Africa, in Africa as part of the global community, we have a responsibility to make sure that the SDGs are achieved. And digitization is an important part. The last point I want to make, and I think it might also attract the Kim's attention and the others, global peace and security is an important ideal to work towards and assure, but it is important that we all keep our finger on the tap to make sure that people have the capacity, including governments have the capacity to govern this new system because if they don't, there's every risk that it may slip through and goodness knows what will happen to those who either misuse, underuse or abuse. So we really look forward to participating in on this and being the open national country laboratory to fast-track SDG achievement. Thank you very much, President Massisi. I'd now like to turn to Jacqueline. As the CEO of Google.org, please give us your perspective on how governments and tech philanthropy organizations can better partner together for impact. What changes are needed to broaden their impact given that we have so much more progress to be made? Well, just to get very pragmatic about this, I mean, the thing that excites us about the SDGs is that it's not only a set of global goals, but it's also a blueprint. So we don't have to reinvent the wheel as companies to say, what should we do? That's there. It's just the question of how. And I think the question of how we each need to ask ourselves, what is our unique strength? What can we bring to the table and how can we do that in collaboration with governments? Governments and markets are always gonna be the big engines of scale and government needs to lead on this. But tech companies and philanthropies can play a unique role. I'll give you a quick example. Google's been partnering with the government of India around flooding, severe flooding. It's one of the most common natural disasters. It literally impacts hundreds of millions of people, largely poor people around the world, $10 billion in damage each year. But the promise of artificial intelligence and machine learning is to say, can we not only respond to these natural disasters, but actually predict them with enough warning to save lives? So our AI experts have been working on modeling, using machine learning, and they are now able to predict areas that are prone to flooding and to issue alerts ahead of time. Now we've been working with the government of India because Google can bring the data and we can develop the forecast. Governments certify, distribute, make sure that we're reaching everyone. And I think it was Akim who mentioned this earlier, we need to make sure that we're reaching the most vulnerable with this technology. It can't just be technology reaching the privileged. So for example, in this situation, we are covering literally now all of India, we're expanding into Bangladesh, we're covering 240 million people through this. So Google.org's role is to also work with local entities like the Red Cross to ensure that people, for example, who don't have a smartphone, who don't have connectivity are still reached through these alerts. And so we're building the local networks who are reaching out. And these alerts are now arriving as much as four days earlier than provided by the traditional alert system. So that's just one example of collaboration that is built fundamentally around partnership with government and the UN Roadmap for Digital Cooperation has lots of ways that all of us can get involved. Thank you, Ejaklin. That's a very strong example of impact. Simon. As the leader of a global technology company, what impact do you want to see out of the 2030 Vision Initiative? And why is now such a critical moment for us to be advancing these kind of partnerships? Great, thanks. So it's a great question. And I think there's a lot that can be learned from what we've just seen through the COVID-19 crisis. Because when I look at that, I think it's really quite amazing to see the responses from companies, from governments. It's really shown what's possible when there's collaboration to overcome a challenge with a really focused goal in sight. I think it's just been amazing to see what people have done across the whole spectrum, but including really employees within companies who've all kind of wanted to make a difference. They've wanted to react. They've realized that what they do, the skills they have, the skills they've developed through their careers can be applied to what has been, frankly, the biggest health crisis any of us have ever experienced. So when I look at that and what Mentano but what has gone on over the last, not through this year, and we think about the kind of collaboration that we're gonna need to address the challenges posed by the global bells, that's really what I hope to see capitalized through 2030 vision partnerships. People are realizing that what they do can make a difference accompanied with a sense of urgency. Because in order to achieve rural results through this decade, it's imperative that we begin the rural work now. There are things that all of us can do as individuals. Of course, there are decisions we can make in our daily lives, whether we use public transport, a car, what we do about seeing, we use plastic, things like that. But to really tackle the global goals which are enormous in scope, that requires some big thinking. It requires a coordination of many constituencies, governments, businesses, NGOs, and across all of the sectors that I said earlier. So what I want to see is 2030 vision being a place where people can do that. The people who are asking themselves, what can I do to help have a place to go and projects that they can dive into to bring their skills to really make a difference. Thank you, Simon. So you have all highlighted some exciting solutions. So what do we need to see more of to achieve scale? Could each one of you please highlight one inspiring example or a solution area that you're most excited about that illustrates how tech can advance the global goals? Who would like to start? I'm having a go. Thank you. So my favorite example at the moment is a company I came across recently based in Texas. Companies called Hypergiant, Big Name, Big Ambition is a company that they have and they've built what they call their EOS bioreactor. And this is a machine for extracting carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. So it's addressing climate crisis. But what it does is pairing a really ancient technology, algae, which apparently has been on the earth for something like 1.6 billion years. And then growing it in an environment controlled by an AI system. It's looking at the pH balance of the water that the algae is growing in. It's looking at the lighting conditions, et cetera, et cetera. And it's optimizing the growing conditions for the algae which is really, really efficient for attracting CO2. So you're taking a really old technology, a really modern technology, putting it together into a machine that looks really cool. It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. But it's really, really efficient because they're optimizing the conditions for the algae. And it can extract between 60 and 90% of the CO2 that flows through the system. So it's a great example of a bunch of people who've come together with a smart idea that brought their experience from biochemistry, engineering, computer science. They put all that together to create a solution to what is one of the world's biggest problems. And they're starting to scale it up. They're seeing a lot of interest from companies and governments around the world and seeing that scale up to a massive people's system would be fantastic. So it's a really fantastic example. Great, thank you so much. And Jacqueline, you already gave us a great example with India. I got tons of them. I'm sure you have others. You know what's super exciting to a tech company is data. And I think one of the things that we've been thinking about as Google is not only specific solutions, which we are working on, but how can we help build the entire ecosystem? How can we put out the fundamentals into the ecosystem? So everyone, whether you're an academic researcher or government or a nonprofit or a company, help create these solutions. So when we went out and surveyed and asked frontline folks, innovators, researchers, government, what were the critical barriers they were facing to actually getting pragmatic solutions for the SDGs? Number one thing that came up actually was data and lack of publicly accessible data sets that are serving the needs of the poor and the most vulnerable that are gathered in a way where there's clear structured data, that privacy is protected. And so we've been working with others. We partnered with the Rockefeller Foundation, the governments of Canada and Germany to launch the Lacuna Fund in order to develop and make available these kinds of data sets. So just as a specific example, we recently just closed a call for proposals for labeled data sets around agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa. So when you get this kind of high quality data, that can help the innovators to unlock questions around yield estimation or livestock management or even helping with conflict resolution locally, between say pastoralists or crop farmers. So this is an area where we think we can be helpful by providing our funding as well as providing some tech expertise from Googlers themselves. Thank you very much. President Massisi, is there a particular area that you are most excited about or that you'd like to see? Yes, indeed. We are developing country and as I said, we have put together our digital transformation strategy and we've got one specific exciting project that we want to unleash and invite those who are as excited and as excitable of the product as we are. It's called the Maung Science Park. I don't know how many of you know Maung. I know Aitin does. Maung is just on the fringes of the Ocavango Delta in Botswana. And there we want to establish a science park in which we'd use the latest technology, right, to develop eco-friendly habitats, using even 3D mapping and develop a living, a livable environment in which people thrive out an existence out of it. And even try out some of the innovations that some of our young people would have done, including networking with researchers. And so as one of our major projects to try and help digitize and capacitate our people and our institutions, we're planning very, very hard on developing the Maung Science Park. We have a three-year planning cycle. So we're very specific about what actions we want done in the next three years. And those are some of the things that we discussed with the UNDP rep in there and they're coming to the meet. So we don't have a project as exciting as what Google's been doing, but watch the space, we're coming right up your alley. Great, thank you so much. Let's work together, your excellency. Yes, yes, that's why we're here, you know. I'm Simon and Nakim, I committed last time. So did Sarah, was she? Yeah, she's there, including ODI. So we're in, I am dead set to meet you guys in two weeks digitally and we put pen and pen to paper and we move. Nakim, that's a deal, right? Absolutely, all I can say is, I mean, Google has a global network, but nobody has Maung and the Okavari swamps, right? So it's a, it's a location that's really attractive for anybody who wants to move out of the madness of what's happening to us. But Jennifer, can I offer my, yeah, sorry, President. Sorry, I was just gonna say that, you know, the examples that Jacqueline was giving, you could take them to scale right from the mountain science park and look at the diversity of challenges and opportunities that you find in the continent of Africa with 1.3 billion people, huh?   Great, so actually, please give us your, the thing that you're excited about. Well, I was going to provide some more examples from Africa, but I think President Massisi has just shown that, you know, you just need to let your imagination play right now and, you know, that digital world suddenly becomes not confined to one space anymore. So I will just share, and forgive me, I have to be a good faith, you are an official, so I'll pick from the Indian subconvent just three examples in 40 seconds because they speak the different aspect. One Bangladesh, since the number of years they have invested in the digital infrastructure, the kind of digitalization strategy that President Massisi spoke to, in the midst of COVID, a few weeks, they were able to set up a telemedicine platform, train 4,000 doctors, over 350,000 people have been able to access that service in a number of weeks. Pakistan, in less than two months, 16 million households reached, 80 million people provided cash transfers. This platform did not exist before to the point of data that Jacqueline was speaking to, you know, we can mobilize things to happen extremely quickly. And then India's commitment to, in the next 1,000 days, connect 450,000 villages, I repeat, in the next 1,000 days, 450,000 villages to fiber optic. These are the kinds of generational projects that's the kind of imagination we need. That's why the SDGs are not beyond reach, even though we have just experienced a terrible setback, it is a drama, but there is no silver bullet, but digitalization could be one of the ways in which we can recover and actually accelerate. Thank you.
