Today, the Harris's youngest daughter, Phyllis, is celebrating her birthday. She's received a lot of presents, such as a bicycle, roller skates, a doll, and a carriage. And as we look in, she is about to open the last package, a gift for her daughter, Phyllis. Today, the Harris's youngest daughter, Phyllis, is celebrating her birthday. She's received a lot of presents, such as a bicycle, roller skates, a doll, and a carriage. And as we look in, she is about to open the last package, a gift from her Uncle Willie. Hey, Uncle Willie, this is beautiful. It's just what I- You don't know what this is? No. City Yards have felt weather stripping for your bedroom windows. Is that what it is? I thought it was two miles of dandel floss. You're lucky, sis. You should see what he gave me for my birthday. A Mother Goose Mustache Cup. Gee, Uncle Willie, you promised to buy me that toy pony. And I wanted- Now, now, Phyllis, you should be thankful for what you received. That's right. Now run along and play with your weather stripping. Go ahead. Play cowboys and Indians. With weather stripping? Yeah. Use it to tie Uncle Willie to a tree and I'll get you a bow and arrow set.  Go on outside and play, huh?  It's a great toy. You get on this thing and then you press a button in it and it goes all over the place. Oh, but Phyll, it costs $75. Besides, if you bought it today, it would be broken by tomorrow. No, it won't, honey. I'll be careful when I ride it. Oh, gee, honey, can I get it for Phyllis so she won't be dis- Uh-oh, I'll get that. Man, I'd love to get her that pony. Kids are only young once in age. Hiya, Curly. Oh, hello, Frankie. What's the matter with you? I feel terrible. It's little Phyllis' birthday and she wants a pony. Why don't you get her one? Well, Alice says it's too expensive. Well, if a pony's too expensive, get her a jigger. She'll never know the difference. Remly, Remly, let's break it up, hon. Alice, don't get started because it's no laughing matter. Come in here, get her a jay. What can I talk? I'm in trouble. Phyllis wanted a toy electric pony for her birthday and she didn't get it and she's very disappointed. Oh, well, she'll get over that when she sees all this stuff I bought her. I got a lot of things for her to play with. A doll, jacks, set of blocks, a bottle of ready-mixed martinis. Wait! A bottle of martinis for a kid? No, that's for me to play with. I'm too old for dolls. Hello, Frankie. Hi, Alan. What are all those packages in your arms? The present's for Phyllis. Oh, here's a little something extra for her in this envelope. Go ahead, open it. Okay. Oh, gee. It's just what Phyllis always wanted. What is it, honey? A gift certificate for a tattoo job. I figured that would make a nice picturesque gift. Yeah, yeah. Oh, the kid will look great with a battleship on her stomach. The big mole, maybe.  You can't put a big battleship on a little girl's stomach. Better make it a P.T. boat. Frankie, what kind of a gift is that for a little girl, a tattoo job? Yeah, I guess it is more practical for a grown woman. However, if you don't like that, here's something that's ideal for a girl. Something that's ideal for a child. Books. Oh, that's better. Books are wonderful. Wait a minute, Alice. Wait a minute. Now, don't go off the deep end. What kind of books, Mr. Remley? Educational books for children. Written and published by I.J. Grogan. Grogan? You mean I.J. Grogan boy counterfeiter? He was a counterfeiter, but that's all behind him. He's converted his presses so he can print kids' books. I bought the whole set. They're wonderful stories to combat juvenile delinquency, and each one teaches a moral lesson. Say, that sounds good. What are the names of some of them? Well, here's one called Hansel and Gretel at Leavenworth. Or, no matter how good you make a $3 bill, never try to pass it at a bank. That sounds like a great book for a child. Oh, honey, you ain't heard nothin' yet. Listen to these. Heidi gets the hot seat. Little Red Riding and her hoods. And here's another one. A little Red Riding and her hoods. A little Red Riding and her hoods. And here's one that's really a-clied. It's called Raggedy Ann Goes to Las Vegas. Yeah, that one teaches kids the pitfalls a gambler. Yes, yes, but I can see. I can see that for the titles of some of these chapters. Listen to this, honey. How to warm up a cold deck. How to act nonchalant when caught with five aces. How to act nonchalant when caught with five aces. Well, yeah, and here's 50 fictitious names to use in case of a rape. All right. Now take these things out of here and burn them up.  I don't know what's- That's a fine way to talk to me. Just for that, I got a good mind not to sing. Nobody ever asks you to sing. Nobody ever asks you to sing either, but you do it every week. I thought it might be a welcome change if I sang. Well, if anybody does any singing around here, it's gonna be me. I don't know about that. I know about it. Now, boys, don't argue. There's only one fair way to settle this. I'll sing. Now, see what you did? It's something that can be done by two, for I'd really like to stay. It's a lovely day today. And whatever you've got to do, I'd be so happy to be doing it with you. But if you've got something that must be done, and it can only be done by one, there is nothing more to say. Except it's a lovely day for singing. It's a lovely day. It's a lovely day. And I hope whatever you've got to do, is something that can be done by two, for I'd really like to stay. It's a lovely day. And whatever you've got to do, I'd be so happy to be doing it with you. But if you've got something that must be done, and it can only be done by one, there is nothing more. It's a lovely day for singing. It's a lovely day. Well, Remly couldn't have done better. You know something, Alice, I've been thinking.  After all, it's only $75. Only $75? You mean you don't mind spending $75 for a toy? No. Curly, I saw a little play thing. I'd like my birthday. Yeah, what? There's a little manicurist down the street. Of course, she's not electric, but I could have her wired. But you're going to be quiet.  I want her to... Okay, okay, if you insist. But don't be too long. I want you to stop at the bake shop and pick up a cake I ordered for Phyllis. I'll see you later, honey. All right, honey. Hey, Curly. Yeah. Why spend $75 on a toy pony when you can add a few dollars to it and get a real pony? A real one, huh? Sure. Gee whiz. That's every kid's dream, isn't it? Sure. Having a real pony. Yeah, but where are we going to get one? You leave it to me. I can take you to a place where they know all about ponies. Yeah, let's go. All right. Well, here we are, Curly. Here we are where? Those aren't stables. Remly, this is an office building. There aren't any ponies here. I know that, but this guy is an expert on ponies and he has his office here. Now, follow me. And now, as they come into the stretch, it's big noise by a light. Lady Lynn coming up fast on the inside and it's powder dry making a bit on the rail. And here they come across the wire and it's powder dry. Thank you. This is a book making establishment. No. So this is what they look like. Yes, and I don't want to see such goings on so I'll close my eyes and you lead me out of here.  I'm sorry, Curly.  I didn't know. I'd never been here before myself and if I had known, I would... Hey, Remly. You speaking to me, sir? Yeah. That nag you bet on yesterday came in and paid ten to one. It did? Here's your winnings. Sixty cents. The horse paid ten to one and you got sixty cents. Remly, aren't you getting a little reckless? Betting six cents on one horse? Or was it a five horse parlay? Don't be a wise guy. I bet it all on one horse. Across the board. Remly, why did you bring me here? Curly, you want a pony and these guys know all about the pony. Yes, but I can't buy a pony here. Who says you can't? It's Grogan. Yeah. Hey, Grogan, what are you doing here in Sam's bookmaking establishment? Do you place your bets with Sam? Well, no, no. I just come to see my dear old mother.  She has to. She's Sam.  Look, Grogan, do you know where I can buy a good pony? Well, now you have come to the right, man, because I just happened to have a racehorse for sale. No, no, no, no, no, Grogan. I don't want no racehorse. See, I just want a little pony. Now, why waste your money on a pony when for a few bucks more you can get a thoroughbred and you can race him. You can make money. Well, that's true. Grogan, is this horse of yours any good? Good, he says. Good. Hey. Look here, Clem. This snake... This snake is the biggest moneymaker since Citation. He is? Well, how much do you want for him? Well, would $28 be asking for money? No, no, I don't know. That don't sound too high for a horse that can make a million dollars in purses, huh? Look, Grogan, if this horse of yours is so good, then how come you're not racing him? Well, I did. Last year I raced him. I would track in a country and I would still be doing it, except for one thing. What? I was barred from every track in a country. Grogan, did you do something dishonest? Now, how can you say that? You know that I wouldn't do nothing dishonest. Now, you buy this nag, kid, and I will throw in all the equipment that I used when I raced him. Well, what kind of equipment? Syringe, no sponges, saddle with electric buzzing, you know. And if you pay cash, I will also throw in a crooked jockey. Hey, Grogan. What colors did your horse race under? Oh, he raced under different colors. His one week I painted him black. His one week he was brown and one week he was black and white. You know what, I gave him a nice sporty look for the sum of me. Look, Grogan, I don't think I want to buy this horse. There must be something wrong with him. There's nothing wrong with him.  If you don't believe me, you just take a look at this picture of me here. Here. There stands the greatest handicap horse you ever saw. I'd define you to find anything wrong with this horse. He's only got three legs. That's his handicap. I don't believe I've ever seen a race horse with three legs. What do you call him, Grogan? Tripod. Ah, yeah. You would have seen Tripod coming down the stretch. But he only has three legs. How does he run? Like a camera. Well, Mr. Grogan, Grogan, I don't want to appear difficult, but I don't cotton to this animal. But don't. When you think it over, Harris, because I guarantee that if you buy this horse, you will be getting the fastest thing on two legs. I know, but now he's got two legs. Well, he really has three, if you want to count the wooden one. Look, now, I don't want no race horse. All I want is a pony for my child with four legs. You've got a child with four legs? Look, if you can have a horse with two legs, I've got a right to have a child with four legs. Now, do you have a pony for sailor, don't you?  Hey, yeah, wait a minute. There is a friend of mine has got a defunct psychus in Cucamonga, see? And this guy, he's breaking up the outfit. He's sunning all the animals, and maybe you can pick up on his trick ponies. Oh, yeah? Well, thank you, Grove. Thanks a lot. Come on, Remli. Well, we might as well forget about the pony because I haven't got time to go to Cucamonga. I've got to pick up the kid's birthday cake and get home. Well, you get the cake. I'll go out and get the pony. Would you do that? You can trust me, Curly. All right, but look. Now, when you get to the circus, remember I want a pet for the kids. So don't come back with a bearded lady, huh? Why are you getting a real pony? Where will we keep it? Well, we've got a big place here. We can keep it in the guest room.  Besides, Mother's coming over to stay with us for a while. She'll be sleeping in the guest room. So what? It's a double bed. I don't know. Mother's not accustomed to having four cold feet on her back. Don't worry, honey. We'll find a place for her. We'll build a stable. For who? The horse or my mother? They can toss for her. Not by wish, Frank. You'd get here. I'm anxious to see that pony you picked out, boy. Well, do you think you sent the right man? Oh, now, don't worry, honey. If there's one thing that Remli knows about its horses, he won't have any trouble picking out a good pony. Come in. Hi, Curly. Well, my mission is completed. You got the pony, huh? Uh, you were not exactly, but I got the closest thing to it. What did you get? A kangaroo. A kangaroo. A kangaroo. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. Remli, why I told you to get a pony. I didn't have any more left. I didn't want to disappoint Phyllis, so I got her a kangaroo. I got it out on the porch. I'll call Zelda in. Zelda? Yeah. Here's Zelda. Come on, Zelda. Remli, get that Australian hop along out of here. Oh, Frank.  Do something. The guy said the only thing he'll cover down is music. But we don't have any music. Then you sing to her, Curly. All right, anything to keep her quiet. Now sit down in the corner and Zelda. Sit down in the corner and listen. Now listen. Now Uncle Phyllis is gonna sing.  Give me that old time religion. That old time religion. Give me that old time religion. Cause it's good enough for me. It was good for Paul and Silas. It was good for Paul and Silas. And it's good enough for me. Show me that place by the river. That place by the river. Show me that place by the river on Jordan's sunny shore. What say Daniel from the Lions? Say Daniel from the Lions. What a Daniel with the lions, he can start telling me. Well it was that old time religion. Yes they're old time religion. And it's good enough for me. It helped him with the lions. Oh he of set him free. Well, if it's good enough for Daniel, then it's good enough for me. So give me that old time religion, give me that old time religion, give me that old time religion. It's good enough for me. I'll be listening for Gabriel, I'll be listening for Gabriel, I'll be listening for Gabriel to blow on Judgment Day. What was it? Say, don't Jonah from the belly of the whale? Yes, that old time religion, that old time religion Yes, that old time religion, and it's good enough for me It saved Jonah from the whale, yes, it helped to set him free And if it's good enough for Jonah, then it's good enough for me Give me that old time religion, give me that old time religion, give me that old time religion It's good enough for me, give me that old time religion, give me that old time religion, give me that old time religion It's good enough for me. Give me that old-time religion. That old-time religion. Give me that old-time religion. It's good enough for... That did it, Curly. Zelda's quiet now. You're singing that something to her. Well, it figures. She's a female, ain't she?  And her front paws over her ears.  There's one thing I can't stand. It's a wise kangaroo. Well, I'm not going to stay in the same house with that animal. I'm going upstairs and you fellas get rid of that beast right now. All right, all right. Now come on, Remli. Between the two of us, we can subdue her and get her out of the house. Come here, Zelda. Look out, Curly. She's kicking again. Zelda, stop horsing her. I mean kangarooing around. Hey, Remli, we'll have to shove her in that closet until we can get somebody to take her away. Curly, she don't want to go. We've got to put her in. Well, we'll grab her and rush her in. You grab one side and I'll grab the other. You ready? Yeah, I'm ready. One, two, three. Ah, we got her in the closet. Yeah, we got her in there, but now tell me something. Who are we going to get to take her out of this house? I hadn't thought of that. Who can we get that would... Yeah, the trainer just came in with a basket on his head. Yeah, we'll get Julius to take her out. Yeah, but how?  She wants to go out with him. Miss Fire, put the groceries in. Hey, hiya, Julius. Are you home again? All right, kid, I got a right to be... I hope Zelda kicks his brains out.  I'm going to arrange a date for you. With what? With one of my girlfriend. How'd you like that? With the pins. What does his aunt eat or look like? She doesn't look like an aunt either. No, but you're getting warm, kid. Julius, look, now, I don't blame you for being suspicious of Frankie's girlfriends, but this time, man, this is a pretty one, and if you don't believe me, you just take a look for yourself. Well, that's fair enough. Where is she? Right in this closet. You keep her in a closet? Yeah, Julius, because she's kind of shy and she doesn't like to be seen in the light. Yeah, but if you talk nice to her, maybe she'll come out. Her name is Zelda. Go on in. Tell her I sent you. Okay. What's your name, Julius? Well, say something, Zelda. Oh, this Remly really gets him. Julius, grab her by the arm and bring her out here. I don't blame you. Grab her and show her who's the boss. You said it. Julius is gone. Gone. Zelda must have eaten them. Isn't that awful? Yeah, poor Zelda will have heartburn all the time.  Sweet, she thought he was one of her young. Girl would go out with you, do you? Hey, girlie, now we got Julius and the kangaroo going steady. What's our next step? Open the front door. Yeah. This is Phil, and I'd like to thank Ben Crosby for inviting me to his 10th annual Pro Amateur National Golf Tournament at Del Monte this year. And also thanks to my good friend, Mori Luxford, for pairing me with a great guy and a terrific golfer, Dutch Harrison. And thanks to Dutch, we won the Pro Amateur. And that was my biggest thrill, next to seeing the 39,000 fans turn out for Bing's tournament. And Bing, as he always does, turned over the entire proceeds. And this year, $40,000 went thanks to Bing to the community chest for youth centers and polio work. Good night, and thanks again, Bing. Good night, champ. This program was produced and directed by Paul Phillips. Included in today's cast were Stan Freeberg, Sheldon Leonard, and Jerry Hausner. The part of Frankie Remily was played by Elliot Lewis, and Julius was played by Walter Tettler. Coming up, head a hopper, then its theater guild on NBC.


When you look at open source word, you know, things come up, you know, as an alternative to something that exists. But Kubernetes, the case was certainly different. There was nothing that existed. At the same time, you know, enterprises are like kind of hesitant in adopting these kind of technologies. So what magic happened with Kubernetes that, you know, suddenly everybody is behind it.  Yes. It's true. And it's something we were very concerned about at the beginning of Kubernetes, you know, who are we targeting? What were the use cases we were willing to try to tackle? And how did we think we could get adoption? So one of the big important strategic things that we did was we didn't start with a big drop of code from Google, right? Let's open source Borg. Well, that's millions of lines of code that nobody would be able to decipher that really wouldn't be useful. And I don't think it would have gotten uptake. We had a lot of arguments about what language should we write this in? Should it be C++ or should be Java? Should it be Go?  So there was a community in this space already. We'd like to tap into that. And that all talks a little bit to how developers approach it, but how do you get into enterprises? Well, you don't at first, right? The first few workloads that we targeted were stateless. They were web servers. They were startups. We did a lot of touring around Silicon Valley talking to startups about how communities could maybe make their lives easier. And there was a lot of reluctance at first, for sure. People, you know, they don't want to bet on a new horse. They don't want to get in. They don't want to be the first consumer. And I think what was really a huge leg up for us was some very early adopters like Box, Sam Goads from Box, came to one of our really early meetings and he took a look at what we had done and he said, you guys are crazy, but I want in. And he stepped up and he helped us rewrite our command line tool and really said, Box is in. Like, we're committed to making this work. And they've been a great partner ever since. And as sort of a high tech, tech forward enterprise, they've been an awesome example of things you can do with Kubernetes. And then from there, it becomes a snowball, right? Little enterprises and then sort of more technology focused media companies, especially you know, web centric sorts of things. And then before you know it, you're talking to banks.


The benefits of doing a traineeship is that you will get to learn on a job and you will also get to experience budgeting and things like that where it can help you so much further in the future. What I love about my job is that I get to meet new people every day, I get to see the children every day. I'm really enjoying myself and that I've achieved it without going through all the hassle that I have been throughout all the years. In my future I would like to achieve working my way up an gathering in St. Orgener Hunt's nursery Ac rwy'n meddwl i'n meddwl i'n meddwl i'r ddweud o'r ddweud o'r ddweud o'r ddweud.


I've just come from Japan, sorry, New Zealand, and the Prime Minister there has just prohibited people from reading the manifesto of the Australian action. I think I killed the Muslims in Christchurch, and she's prohibited people from reading. I mean, I download that in Japan, so that's perfectly okay. And there, Narendra does that white supremacist kill.  So I think that supports it. Well, I mean, I think there's a massive attack today in the West, all over the West, against free speech.  Nobody should have to read them. Ideally, nobody would read them. But once you ban them, then A, you're making it sexy. You wouldn't have downloaded it if it wasn't banned, probably. I certainly will never download it unless just as an objection to the limitation. You make them interesting by banning them. And secondly, once you establish that you have the authority to decide which ideas people should read or shouldn't, then it's a very slippery slope. If you look today in Europe, the laws against certain types of speech are only increasing. Particularly, if you say anything against Islam or anything against religion or anything against certain issues, you could go to jail in Europe today. But what's interesting is what were the first laws against speech in Europe post World War II? All were done with good intentions. What were the first laws? Yeah, against Holocaust deniers. So you say, well, who wants to read Holocaust deniers? It's okay if we ban them. Yeah, nobody wants to read Holocaust deniers.   But once you accept that the state has the authority to tell you you can't read something, then first it's Holocaust deniers, then it's something else, and now it's anybody who wants to be critical of Islam. But there's a lot to criticize about Islam. I mean, it's okay to criticize Islam, just like you should criticize Christianity, criticize Judaism, criticize any religion, any set of ideas, you should be allowed to criticize. So once you allow in the name of good intentions, like this manifesto, which I will never read because I'm not interested, right, or Holocaust deniers or whatever, you've given the powers of the authority now to determine what is appropriate and what is not appropriate, and it's a disaster. And I think you're seeing all across the world, you're seeing shrinkage of freedom of speech. I don't know what the situation is in Japan. In the United States, the only reason this is not really happening kind of at a national level is because we have it in the Constitution, right? We have a First Amendment that makes it almost impossible to rule out reading certain books or not to be able to download certain materials. But if we didn't have a First Amendment, I believe there would be a lot of states in America who would be passing what's called hate speech laws and laws that restrict freedom of speech. So people don't believe in the First Amendment anymore in America. The legal system protects the First Amendment because it's the value of having a Constitution. Because even when people stop believing in the ideas, it still functions. Now, in the end, it won't. In the end, it'll be written out if enough people don't believe in it. But for a long time, it's sustainable. So you still have free speech in the United States in spite of the fact that I think a significant number of Americans, maybe a majority, don't believe in it anymore. On the left in America, if you go to universities, there are ideas you cannot express. People are attacked for expressing those ideas and the silence, and there's violence involved. And that's clear violations of the ideas of free speech. And it's sad when the government does not protect people's ability to speak. That's the one area in which you're seeing an erosion of free speech in the U.S. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning, any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, wins, or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism, and impotence, and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist brought.


Hey guys, this is Alex with my much-awaited review of the Goso dimple pic set which arrived approximately 45 days after ordering it from the People's Republic of China. So a couple of different shaft widths, thicknesses, flag sizes, some of them look kind of the same, but they're really not if you play with them. They're, I mean, the steel feels pretty good, doesn't twist badly, it springs back readily, but it's kind of thick, so if I get my micrometer out here, let's measure it for you. We're going to bring about 80,000s or 2.6mm, that's the other one, which I like the shape, but the thickness on this, which I'm going to turn it that way and you can see the, well, you can't, but you can see the thing, so it's about 1.1mm or 46,000s, it's still pretty thick for a lock pic. If we look at the thickness of the flag part of one of these, which may be a little tricky to do, so that's about the thickness of a fairly heavy pic. I found that in a lot of the higher precision locks, that's just too thick to clear the really, really low set pins, so I think some filing will be required. So this looks kind of like it's laser cut on the back. This back edge is not really a bearing edge, but just missing polish there, same deal here, you can see it all the way down, that's in frame, yeah, it comes all the way down. But so it's going to be in the lock this way or this way, so these relatively smooth areas here, and they are pretty darn smooth, are facing there, but what you do have is a sharp corner on each of the four corners, and that A wants to dig in, it gets caught in the wards and makes the thing want to move in unexpected directions, and between the corner and this little gritty thing, it's sometimes pretty hard to feel what's going on. Okay, now let me see if I can show you something I really do like. One thing I really do like, and I hope you can see it, is that they are beveled, you can see it really well there in profile. The front and the back to some extent on the edge, the south-word set really didn't come with much of a bevel anywhere. This is really nice for sliding it under pins, and the bevel on the rear is just super important for being able to get the bloody thing back out. They're all sort of a full tang, the metal comes all the way down, and you can even see, there we go, you can see the end of the shaft coming out there. So if you didn't like this rubber handle, which is pretty hard rubber, it gives a pretty good feedback, it's not great, it does twist a little bit, really good traction on it because it's pretty heavy, sort of serrations in it, so that's not too bad. One thing is it's perfectly round, and so sometimes you get disoriented, you can look at the back and see where you are, although you can't necessarily tell whether you're up or down, and of course you can touch here, but that may not always be convenient.  I think it's a nice handle, the metal gives you a little better feedback, a little bit heavier construction there, there's a little bit of a curve to it, a little bit of a curve to it, and again it's beveled. For reference the length on these, they're not all the same, but they're on the order of four and a half, five inches, something like that, they vary a little bit, but four and a half inches. For comparison this Peterson Diamond is four and a half, five inches, so pretty standard length for a lock pick. These guys now probably haven't seen me using these very much. Every dimple pick set that I get has one of these. I have no idea what this is for. Maybe somebody can respond, but I've never found any lock that this is useful for doing anything with. It's really thick, it's very bulky, it doesn't get in between the words. I have no idea what this is for, maybe some kind of particular special lock, and I, someone can explain that to me, that'd be great. Here's a diamond, and that's a pretty heavy diamond, and yeah, okay fine. Here's the problem with it. Look how thick that is, okay, that is, mic back out here, it's about 0.50, 5.50 thousandths of an inch, or about 1.3 mil. That's really, really thick. There's not a lot of locks that have enough clearance to do anything useful with this, certainly not a dimple lock, and there's no bevel on it at all. Same deal with this guy, it's kind of a lifter, and again, he's really, he's made of that same pretty thick stock, let me turn him this way, here we go. Oddly, with a better finish than a lot of the other ones, but, and you can see it's carbon steel, it's getting a little bit of rust on it, I mean, and the shaft itself is pretty, is pretty heavy as well, it's about 2.3 mil, or about 0.60, it's a little heavy there, and it's a pretty high diamond, so it's about a 2, that's actually about a number 2 aspect ratio, but, so of these three, the only one I've ever used for anything was this one, if you saw the LSL padlock video, I used it because I had, it was a tubular lock, there was no warding or anything, this little divot here, made, made it really easy to find the pins, and it's extremely heavy, I mean, you can really bear down on that, and it's wide, so it does sit on the pin pretty well, doesn't fall off, and so it actually gave me really good leverage in there, I can't imagine a lot of locks where that would be useful, so these three, and again, the tensors, I don't know where they went, but they're the standard kind of little Z-shaped things, you get one or two of those, here's one I think, but you know, comes with these, and I don't know, a few other tensors, nothing special, it would have been nice if they had used different colors or something for the left and the right, I may get a little piece of tape or something, put it on there, because I just can't tell them apart, so it's kind of irritating, they came in this box, which on the outside looks, you know, unsurprising, but unfortunately, you can see the tape here, this side had completely, was completely detached when I received it, brand new in the box, and the box itself is made out of particle board, cardboard, something not very strong, and obviously it's not glued together very well, this guy's probably gonna need a little tape, too, and in fact the hinge is basically just the paper on the outside, so this is one of those rare occurrences where I might actually suggest that they use plastic, put it in a plastic box, because even a low- grade plastic box, I think would be more structurally sound than this, but they do all fit in there, it's kind of nice, the tensors that came with it that are pretty useless, would also fit in here, so you do get a little box to organize it. I have not modified any of these picks yet, we discussed some of the fit and finish problems with them, but I wanted to do a review and get pictures of them while they were sort of in their virgin state, some of these have been used, but I haven't gone at them with sandpaper or files or anything yet, I will, and I may report back. That said, my overall impression is that the shapes are nice, this whole set was, I can't remember, $30, $20 to $40 US, which is not bad, the steel seems pretty good, and I think with some investment of time with the on the on the sander, grinder, polish or whatever, I probably can make these into who get a few pretty good dimple picks out of these, it may be some patterns for making some of my own, I can't stand making these little tiny things, they're getting them square and stuff as a pain, so if you're looking for something that's going to work out of the box, well you're at a lot because I haven't found a single product that does, these I have picked some locks with these, but with varying results, but if you're looking for something that maybe will make a basis for, you know, a set of picks that might be useful and you're willing to invest a little bit of time, probably decent value, and I am happy so far with the steel, which makes me happy, so that's what you're paying for. So anyhow, that's the go-so locksmith tool dimple picks set, can't remember exactly how many picks are in there, but it's about 15 or 16, and yeah, that's it. So anyway, this is Alex, thank you for watching, please subscribe to my channel if you like my videos, and as always have fun and keep it legal. Cheers!


Welcome! In this video, we're taking a look at our Maximus Digital Switching System. Now, if your sportsman boat is equipped with digital switching, then you will find the following screen. On your Garmin, go to AV, Gages, and Control, and then click on Switching. Now, as you can tell on this screen, this will give you access to all of your regular switches. This is normally located somewhere on the dash, but of course, in a digital switching system, they are inside the screen. Now, the advantages of having this over switches is that you don't have any switches to deteriorate or corrode over time. Another cool feature of this system is the remote control. This remote control actually works up to 150 feet away from the boat, and allows you to turn on power to the boat right from it. It also has switches for your navigation lights, hardtop, spreader, courtesy, and underwater lights, as well as your freshwater and raw water pumps. Now, one question that always arises when we start talking about digital switching is, well, what happens if my screen is not turning on? So, let's take a look inside the head. Well, I can show you how to bypass the entire digital switching system. Now, to access your maximum system, it's very simple to do. This right here is the DCM. That is the brain of the entire digital switching system. So, to access any of the circuits, remove the front cover, and now you see here a row of fuses, along with labels for each one. This will allow you to turn on something even if the garment is not on. Now, if you notice, this top row is in one position, and this last fuse is in a different position. This is the one that is actually bypassed. All the other ones are in the normal position. So, to override any of these circuits, you take the fuse out and you put it into the bypass position. This will bypass the entire digital switching system, even if the screens are not on. It's a nice feature to have when you have digital switching. Here at Sportsman, we strive to be at the cutting edge of innovation and world class. The maximum digital switching system is the future in marine electronics. With its endless customizations, redundancy, and reliability, it really is the best digital switching system for your sportsman boat. If you have any questions on our Maximus Digital Switching System, visit our website sportsmanboatsmfg.com or contact your local dealer. Thanks for watching.

What is going on, mobile creators? I'm back here with another Gimbal review and this time we will be looking at the DJI Osmo Mobile 6. Not the OM6, it's the Osmo Mobile 6. A slight change in branding, get used to it. Anyway, I'm very excited to review and share my thoughts on the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 as it comes with some exciting new features that I think a lot of you will like. Before we start, I wanna thank DJI for sponsoring this video and sending me over the DJI Osmo Mobile 6. I've been using their Gimbal since the DJI Osmo Mobile 3 and with each new release, they get better and better and the Osmo Mobile 6 is no exception. Now, if you're wondering if you need a Gimbal, I believe that everybody who creates videos on their phones should have a Gimbal as it helps smoothen out your footage and makes it look professional. Now, even though most smartphones have good image stabilization, a Gimbal still allows you to get even steadier shots and opens up a world of possibilities regarding creative angles and movements and also not to mention the additional features that come with the Gimbal. They're small, easy to bring along and don't cost much compared to larger Gimbal's. I know it isn't easy to decide on which smartphone Gimbal to get as it can get overwhelming with so many out there on the market. I'd probably go nuts, but hey, this is why I'm here to help you find a Gimbal that fits your shooting needs so that you don't have to do the work and let the Gimbal do its magic. Bah! That wasn't good. But hey, before we start, for those that do not know me, Bennett Grazer here with smartphonefilmmaking.com, the ultimate online course helping you achieve cinematic video results with your mobile phone. And like I said today, we will be reviewing the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 and show you how to set it up with the iPhone 13 Pro Max to get you started shooting great looking video. Specifically, I will be giving you a quick overview of the Gimbal, look at the build and design quality, show you how to mount and balance the Gimbal, look at the basic button functions and some of the special features that the Gimbal offers using the DJI Mimo app, different shooting modes, give you a walk through the DJI Mimo app showing you the best camera settings for shooting high quality video. Then we will look at the operating modes giving you a behind the scenes of how I use the Gimbal in action, talk about the price and who the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 is for. Now, no matter if you're a beginner and never held the Gimbal before or just want to learn everything there is to the DJI Osmo Mobile 6, then you have come to the right place, my friend, as I will teach you everything you need to know to get started because great Gimbal's come with great responsibility. Okay, let's just get started. Now, as always, I love to start with a quick overview of the Gimbal. We have the roll tilt and pan motors that allow for smooth movement in any direction. You got the awesome magnetic clamp that allows you for a quick setup. You got the built in extension pull for those hard to reach shots and looking at the controls, you have the joystick, a switch button, a record button and a newly added shooting mode button indicated as M, which we will get into later. This also functions as the power on and off button. What's also new is the small display showing you the battery life of the Gimbal and the current shooting mode you're in. To the side of the Gimbal, you have the new side wheel to adjust zoom or focus manually. On the other side, you have an USB-C charging port. On the back, you have the trigger button and to mount the included tripod, you have a one quarter screw at the bottom of the Gimbal. So as you can see, not so many buttons, keeping it very simple. So let's talk about the built in design of the DJI Osmo Mobile 6. I absolutely love the dark gray matte color. It makes me look even more badass than I am. And overall, the design and the build quality are amazing as expected from DJI. A lot of it has stayed the same compared to its predecessor, the DJI OM5, such as the attachable magnetic clamp and the built in extension pole, which I absolutely love. Now the magnetic clamp is a bit larger compared to the DJI Osmo Mobile 5's magnetic clamp, which allows you to use a case. I still wouldn't recommend it though, if you want the best performance, I usually remove the case. Now the magnetic clamp itself is such a game changer, I think that all Gimbals should have that as it helps for a quick setup. The extension pole that extends up to 215 millimeters is also something I enjoy using and I've been using it more and more as it expands the possibilities of what shots I can get. I find this especially useful for high and low-angled shots. For vloggers, this is a must as you can be further away from the camera to fit in more in the frame. The folding design has stayed similar, only this time when folding the gimbal, the top part clicks. So if I open this up, you can see that it clicks in so that it's locked in place, which is a nice little addition. The joystick has also been upgraded for a better and more precise movement control. Now the Osmo Mobile 6 weighs 340 grams, around 14 grams heavier than the DJI OM5. In terms of dimension, the Osmo Mobile 6 is slightly larger when putting both gimbals side by side. The gimbal's operating time is around 6.4 hours and the charging time is 1.4 hours. Now the maximum payload is up to 290 grams, which works well with the iPhone 13 Pro Max, which weighs 240 grams. The included tripod is always great to have as you sometimes want to rest it on a surface or shoot a time lapse. So let's look at how you can amount and balance the Osmo Mobile 6. Unfolding the gimbal is easy. Just rotate the pan tilt axis clockwise and then unfold the gimbal as shown. Attach the magnetic clamp to the center of the phone. I recommend not using a case for optimal gimbal performance. Make sure the camera mark is pointed towards the camera of your phone. To attach your phone with the Osmo Mobile 6, align the marks on the phone clamp and the mounting plate. The magnets will hold the phone securely. Make sure the weight is evenly distributed so that the gimbal doesn't use up more battery. Now here it comes. The coolest feature DJI added to the Osmo Mobile 6 is that the gimbal automatically powers on after unfolding it, allowing you to attach your phone and start shooting immediately, which is super awesome. Let me show you that quickly so I can just unfold it up here and then once I lift this part up and I can just straight up attach my phone to it. Now I'm not done yet. The gimbal also has a quick launch mode where the DJI Mimo app automatically launches after the iPhone is magnetically attached to the gimbal. And you can enable quick launch inside the DJI Mimo app under general. Unfortunately, it's only currently available on iPhones due to the interface axis of the manufacturer. So if you have an iPhone, good for you. This feature really helps reduce the preparation time to start shooting immediately. Also if you want to shoot handheld, you can just remove your phone from the gimbal, get the shot, reattach it and you'll be able to continue operating with your gimbal without turning it on or off or using the standby mode. Now that is freaking cool. All right guys, let's now get into the basic button functions. It's really important that you get to know what each button does. This way you can quickly use the right settings for the type of shooting you're doing and be more efficient. DJI really keeps it simple with just a few buttons. So let's go through each button and see what they do. So let's start with the M button. You can press once to switch mode. You can press three times to enter standby mode and to power on and off the gimbal, simply press and hold the M button. Next by pressing the shutter record button it will either take a photo or start and stop recording. This also works with the native camera app and third-party apps like Filmic Pro. Then we have the switch button. Press once to switch between the front and back camera inside the DJI Mimo app. Press twice to switch between the landscape and portrait modes. But you can also do that manually using your hands. Press three times to switch between photo and video modes or enter the quick menu inside the DJI Mimo app. Moving on to the side wheel, you can press it once to switch between manual zoom and focus inside the DJI Mimo app. You can start adjusting the zoom or focus by scrolling the wheel. I really love how they integrated this feature for more control, especially if you want to get more creative with your shots and also to switch built-in lenses quickly instead of having to tap on the screen. Another plus point for efficiency. Last we have the trigger button. Press it once to enable active track inside the DJI Mimo app. This is useful for keeping the subject centered in the frame, especially when using the selfie camera for vlogging, you don't have to worry about being cut out of the frame. It does a great job of tracking the subject and also has been updated to active track 5.0 for better tracking performance. To enter lock mode, you can press and hold the trigger button which locks all motors. Next is to press once and then press and hold to enter sport mode. This is similar to follow mode just with a faster speed allowing you to capture and follow quick moving subjects more easily. Press the trigger button twice to recenter the camera. Now it does take some time to get to know each button function so make sure to experiment with them and find what works best for you. So if you made it to this point, congratulations. We still have a long way to go so let's not waste any time and continue. So let's look at the DJI Mimo app which is free to download and is available for iOS and Android users. Now if you want to unlock the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 full potential then I highly recommend you use the DJI Mimo app. Now once you downloaded the DJI Mimo app make sure Bluetooth is enabled so that you can connect your gimbal with your phone through the app. So this is how the viewfinder looks like inside the DJI Mimo app. And we're gonna start with the indicators up here. So this shows you the battery life of the gimbal. This shows you the battery life of your phone and this shows you the current shooting mode you're in. So right now we're in follow mode. And this is the focus and zoom indicator. So right now we're in zoom mode but we can change it by pressing the side wheel and it will change to manual focus. And then over here you can switch between the front and back camera. When I switch to the front facing camera you can also see that there is a zoom slider over here but you can of course also use the focus wheel like I'm doing right now. And as you can see it works really smoothly. And I just like to switch between lenses quickly because if I zoom in between I just lose so much quality so I prefer just using each lens and instead of digitally zooming in. And you can also see if I switch to manual focus I can start adjusting the focus which is really cool and works very smoothly. And then over here you have your record button. Then below your record button you have your gesture control. So right now it's turned off but when I press on it you can see that you will be given two options.  So let's first enable it. So if you select shoot that means gesture control only controls shooting. So if I do a peace sign you will see that it will start recording without following my face. And I can stop it by holding the peace sign up again. So let's do that again. This time we're gonna select follow and shoot. And what that does is it uses gesture control to shoot while the gimbal automatically tracks you. So if I do the peace sign you will see that active track is enabled and it does a really good job of tracking my face. It's very, very accurate. And to stop I just hold up the peace sign again. Active track is really useful if you're filming by yourself where you can stand far away from the gimbal and just hold up these gestures to start and stop recording. Now over here you have your media and all of your recordings as you can see. You can press on it, you can skim through it, you can throw it in a trash, you can even share it on different social media platforms. And to go back just select the arrow key up there. Now below here you have your shooting parameters. You have your shutter speed, you have your ISO and exposure value. Right now it's set to auto but if I click up here I can set it to manual mode and adjust these values individually. But I like to keep it in auto especially for run and gun shooting.   But I don't need that because I look good already so let's turn that off. So let me now show you the best camera settings for shooting high quality videos. And to do that we're first gonna select the resolution and frame rate which is right over here. So I'm gonna tap on it and we're gonna select 4K which has four times higher resolution than 1080p and provides more detail and also allows you to crop in a bit without losing much quality. And depending on what you're shooting if it's a vlog I recommend recording in 24 or 25 frames per second.  That is what I choose when I shoot my b-rolls. Now the next thing you wanna do is head over to the settings at the bottom left and then head over to white balance. You want to make sure that it's a lock. If you're outside for example and it's sunny you would want to choose the sunny preset. Now what you can also do is use the custom preset that allows you to dial in your white balance. But for now I will just use the sunny preset. Moving on we have a grid. This is really important to compose your shots. I usually have grid lines enabled but if you're shooting a hyperlapse for example grid and diagonal can be really useful as it's easier to keep your focal point fixed. But I'm gonna switch it to guidelines. So then you have the selfie flip which will probably flip the selfie camera. Don't know. Next is the FT selfie which means when enabled the camera automatically tracks the user if switched to the front camera which is really cool especially if you're a vlogger so if I have that enabled and I would now switch to the selfie camera you can see that it starts to automatically track me which is really cool. Next we have Dolby Vision which I recommend you enable. This allows you to record in a higher bit rate as well as in HDR which gives your videos more vibrant color, more contrast and overall improved image quality. Next is auto shot guide. I don't know exactly what it will do but it says here that when enabled the shot guides will automatically be recommended when a suitable scenario is identified. Let's now move on to the gimbal settings over here. So above you have your different shooting modes. So you could also use the DJI MIMO app to change shooting modes. You can see here all the four different modes available. I usually keep it in follow mode. Then you have gimbal auto calibration. So if you experience problems with your gimbal or you find that the horizon isn't leveled you can either use the gimbal auto calibration which will solve most of the issues or if your horizon is still off you can also use the horizontal gimbal adjustment but make sure that your phone is properly balanced. As you can see in here you can adjust your horizon by tapping on one of these arrows. And once you're done you can select done. So next you have dial mode. So if you press on the wheel like I said you can switch between zoom and focus or if you want you can also turn it off completely but I like using this feature especially the zoom option that allows me to switch lenses quickly. Then we have the press switch button three times which I've set to quick menu. So if I press the switch button three times you'll see that I can quickly cycle through the menu. I used to use this with the DJI OM 5 and 4 to quickly switch shooting modes but because we have it on the joystick now this is not necessary. Then you can control the speed of your joystick as well as control the direction of your joystick. Then you can also invert the joystick, invert the dial. Then you can also enable and disable the sound which also helps indicate when I start recording. Then below we have our general setting. So you have your device name. You have a demo mode which I'm not familiar with yet. So what it says is when the device is stationary for a long period of time the gimbal will rotate according to a preset pattern. Then you have beginner tutorial. So if you're a beginner and never used the DJI OM 6 you can always rewatch the tutorials by heading over to general and then selecting beginner tutorial and it will walk you through step by step which I think is really awesome. Then you have gimbal functions overview. So if you forgot about what each button does you can go over to the gimbal functions overview and just look through it again. So next you have a quick launch which I think is really cool and I recommend you enable it. This way when you attach your mobile device to the gimbal you can directly enter the DJI Mimo app to get started shooting quickly. Now the next thing I wanna show you is how you can set your focus and exposure. If I tap on the screen you can see that a box moves and that controls the focus and exposure.  This way the exposure and focus is locked on me. And if I want to drag the exposure down a little bit I can just drag with my fingers down and you'll see that the sun icon appears. And I think that the iPhone tends to overexpose the image a bit so I like to drag exposure down slightly. But yeah that is an easy way to adjust your exposure and focus especially when you're run and gun shooting. But if you want to have more control over your exposure you can also use the manual controls over here. Now to the right over here you can see we have different shooting modes. Right now it's set to video but you can also shoot in slow motion. You can also create a dynamic zoom and it's cool because they also have tutorials that will show you straight away how you can do that. You have the time lapse feature. You also have a hyper lapse feature which is really cool especially with the active track. Then you can also use photo and panorama as well as story which we haven't looked at yet. Now inside story mode you're able to select one of these presets and it will guide you through to create a dynamic video. The purpose of story is to help you create quick and engaging content fast for your social media. I personally don't use it as I like to edit on my computer and create my own style of video but for those that don't have the time to edit a video this is really a great option. And what's cool is that it shows you on the top left a video tutorial walking you through step by step and below here you will see the duration of each video and then in the end it will cut it for you but we won't go through the entire process for this part. All right guys so there you have it that was a walkthrough inside the DJI Mimo app. So let's move on to the shooting modes. Again it's very important that you know and understand the shooting modes available for your gimbal to get the shots you need. Shooting modes are great for achieving creative shots which otherwise would be difficult to do when done handheld. DJI has now made it easier to switch between shooting modes by pressing the M button instead of using the DJI Mimo app. This allows me to switch modes quicker when using the native camera app or other third-party apps. So with that said let me introduce you to the shooting modes that are available and how you can use them to improve your shots. So first up we have the follow mode. This is what I use most often and keeps your horizon level. It is suitable for most shooting scenarios. Then you have the tilt lock that keeps the tilt angle fixed and is great for capturing tracking shots. Next is FPV which stands for first person view and follows your hand movement. This is great if you want to experiment and be more creative with your shots. Then you have the spin shot which rotates your phone using either the joystick or your hand movement. This is suitable for creating those inception type shots where it looks like your subject is spinning. Now last we have sport mode that can be entered using the trigger button which I already talked about. So let's now look at the three basic operating modes that the Osmo Mobile 6 offers so that you can understand what each does and how you can use them. The first one which I use most often is the upright mode. This is the most basic mode and is what most people will use for general shooting. To enter this mode, simply hold the gimbal upright. This is great for following the subject or when filming yourself and is the easiest to operate. Then we have the side grip mode where you have the gimbal sideways. This is great if you need to get a lower shot with your camera and want to create a slide shot to reveal the location. Then we have under slung mode which is great for getting unique perspective that would otherwise be difficult to achieve. So guys, these were the three basic operating modes. There are many ways on how you can use these operating modes especially with the extension pole that allows you to get even more creative with your shots. I encourage you to experiment with the operating modes, try out different shots and see what you can come up with. So the gimbal is priced at $169 which in my opinion is a good deal for those wanting a featured packed gimbal that can do a lot more than just stabilize your phone. So who is the DJI Osmo Mobile 6.4? If you're someone who is starting out and wants a gimbal that is easy to use and does not require a lot of time to set up then the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 is a great choice. The gimbal is also good for those who like to vlog as it has a lot of features such as the built-in extension pole, the improved active track and gesture control that can help you get those shots without having to ask someone for help. Overall I think the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 is a great investment for anyone who wants to take their mobile video capabilities to the next level. It's really a versatile tool that can be used in a variety of ways to get creative and professional looking results. Now I personally like the automatic power-on and quick launch feature as it saves a lot of time and for me the faster I can operate the gimbal the better. This way I won't miss a shot. Now I can tell that this will be my go-to gimbal for future video project as it offers a lot of features that I can take advantage of to get the most out of my mobile videos. Now if you want to learn more about how to use your gimbal and get the most out of it I encourage you to check out my smartphone filmmaking program where you can join other students from all over the world and get access to exclusive video tutorials just like this one as well as guides and resources that will help you take your mobile filmmaking to the next level.

There have been plenty of developments since we last came to you with daily debrief on people's dispatch in Israel, in Gaza, of course, and around the world, the scale of the humanitarian crisis that the Gaza people are facing and the tragic reality of life in Gaza today unfolds in full view of the world. But what exactly is being done by world leadership to combat the increasing scale of this catastrophe? What are the most important developments from a humanitarian, a political and a diplomatic perspective? And what should we be talking about today? That's our lead story as it has been on daily debrief since the current conflict between Hamas and Israel continued and Israel began. It's all out siege and offensive of Gaza, as well as the occupied territories and the West Bank. We also have today results of the referendum in Australia where a majority of citizens or voters there have rejected the voice referendum which sought a constitutional amendment to create a body of indigenous people to advise parliament as well as the Australian government on issues that affect indigenous communities. A majority of voters in all six Australian states voted no. What does this mean for the rights of First Nation communities in Australia? And in Geneva, the World Congress of Public Services International is being held. We reported, of course, earlier last week, on a protest by health workers ahead of the official start of the Congress. Today, we asked what's not saying, who is in Geneva and attending that Congress. What public services workers around the world are talking about? What are the issues they are facing? And what are they demanding from political leadership? Salam, you're watching daily debrief brought to you by People's Dispatch. Take a second before we begin to subscribe to our YouTube channel. As I was saying at the top of the show, plenty has been happening in Gaza and in the region in West Asia as well as around the world in response and reaction to Israel's all-out siege of the Gaza Strip. Its continued suppression in the occupied territories, West Bank, particularly mass arrests are being reported there. There has also been some talks of a potential visit by US President Joe Biden to the region after what can be or what many commentators are regarding as the failed diplomatic visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Israel as well as to Jordan where he met with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and other leaders. He also spoke with Egypt's Al-Sisi, Saudi Arabia and others. Anish has been covering these developments from all perspectives, from the humanitarian perspective, from the diplomatic perspective and of course from the political perspective as well. Anish, not a very insightful question maybe but let's start since we've had a bit of a break with the latest updates and on the harrowing, the tragic situation that Gazans are facing today. Yes, so the escalation has gone even further now. What we're looking at is the siege reaching a point where you can have humanitarian crisis that will be much bigger than perhaps the bombings itself. The WHO has said that almost all hospitals are very fast running out of fuel and if there is no end to the fuel embargo in the next 24 hours, pretty much no hospital in Gaza will have any access to fuel with which we mean that there will be no power for them to run some of the most essential emergency services. At the same time, hospitals are talking about running out of all sorts of supplies, not just medicines and equipment but also water, drinking water is something that they're having reports of many doctors trying to find and search for them. There is also the fact that the border closure continues, there is a large exodus of people that is happening now, fearing a ground invasion in northern parts of Gaza which is the most heavily populated areas of the Gaza Strip which includes Gaza City as well. So a large number of people are moving south, many have reached the Rafa border with Egypt which continues to be closed except for some delivery of essential supplies but very rare, most of which is not allowed by the Egyptian government either. So the fact that the Rafa border continues to be closed despite the large exodus of displaced people clearly shows that this crisis is going to be much, much bigger than what anybody would have calculated at the moment. At the same time, what we're seeing is Israel continuing to make all sorts of very inflammatory statements about wanting to clear down the whole of Gaza. On Sunday we actually saw one of the most intense bombings of Gaza since the whole incident began on October 7th which has actually leveled entire neighbourhoods and at the same time Israel has started a violent crackdown on any kind of protest or mobilisation in the West Bank. So far according to the Palestinian Authority, 58 people have been killed and more than a thousand people or 2,000 people actually have been injured by the kind of violent crackdowns that have been witnessed right now in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. Refugee camps are being raided very regularly, more regularly than it used to be just a couple of weeks ago and this is despite the fact that we are talking about a time when attacks on occupied territories and attacks on the occupied peoples and villages and residential areas have intensified over the last few years. So what we're looking at is an overall escalation of crisis, very wanton escalation of crisis by Israel and all that talk about wanting the hostages that Hamas fighters allegedly had taken into Gaza be released is also being refuted with the kind of reports that we're seeing right now with at least a dozen reportedly killed by Israeli bombings themselves. So it clearly shows that Israel doesn't really care about its own people who are taken hostages by Hamas and the fact that it is not going to show any kind of signs for allowing a ceasefire for any humanitarian aid to go in, which was made clear by state and peace and people, shows that Israel just wants to continue to escalate the situation to a point where it is, there is no written possible return to the status quo ante. Anish, a lot has been happening on the diplomatic front as well since we last spoke with you. We had of course mentioned some aspects of the initial stages of Anthony Blinken's visit there. The US is once again trying to play the policeman or the monitor in the region despite what is apparent to I think many of the rest of us is a failure of its diplomatic efforts in the region. The response from West Asian countries, from Gulf region countries has been different from what it has been in the recent past. Clear inclination there that they are not willing to blindly to the US line. Put all of that into perspective for us a little bit over the course of his visit. Who all did Blinken meet and what was the sort of content of some of those conversations and any sort of results from it? Well, what we can see is that the Blinken tour actually of many of the West Asian countries did not really yield the kind of results that the US intended it would have. Many of these countries are already very strong allies, even military allies of the United States and many of them have supported US and US supported US-centric policies in the region as well. So what they banked on was there will be a sort of muted criticism at the very least of the Israeli attack on Gaza. But that is not happening right now. In the meanwhile, the kind of feedback and the kind of responses that Blinken got probably affected even the president stand very shortly, short while ago he actually made a statement that it would be a disaster or a catastrophe to actually and a big mistake. That's what the quote says. It would be a big mistake to for Israel to send in ground troops into Gaza. So that clearly shows a certain mellowing down of US stand primarily coming from pressures from West Asian allies, many of whom control whole resources and also very geostrategic networks of trade and transport that the US definitely banks on and for them to be isolated or any kind of alienated at the moment will not be in their best interest. But at the same time, US has a very official policy of supporting Israel, whatever comes over the weekend, we saw US actually saying that it will be sending a second aircraft carrier to the Eastern Mediterranean region. And that is pretty much in response to statements being made by his bullet and also the government of Iran. And that clearly shows that there is a chance of massive escalation in the region wide escalation of the conflict that the US is expecting if a ground invasion happens. And that is pretty much a red line right now that Israel is wanting to cross. But the West is not very keen on doing that at the moment. So what we're looking at is US being caught between a very difficult place, actually two very difficult places, and it is not very clear how to move forward with it. It is a very confused policy at the moment, because it has to juggle between both of them. And also the fact that there is a massive support among the political elite at the very least for the Zionist project. So it is pretty much caught up in its own set of web of creating very problematic alliances in the region that is now catching up to it in this current situation. And each one also saw reports and the way in which ordinary Israeli citizens are responding to the present government. We've seen widespread sort of antipathy, of course, over the course of the past several weeks and months to the kind of policies and sort of changes that the Netanyahu-led government was trying to bring into force in Israel. We've seen ministers who were trying to visit the injured at hospitals being sort of told in unequivocal terms that the government has completely mismanaged and exacerbated this crisis. What is the current political scenario in Israel? And of course there is the overwhelming sense that the people of Israel are united, but it's not 100% like that. There have been voices and loud and prominent voices advocating for peace. That's a very difficult situation definitely. A large part of the kind of narrative that goes around in Israel right now is the fact that is how they're looking at Netanyahu's failure in containing what they see as threat from Hamas. And a lot of details and reports about the situation about the Hamas incursion into Israeli territories actually have caused and exacerbated that kind of criticism. But at the same time, what you're looking at is the same bloc, the same nationalist kind of narrative also is calling for the war cabinet to actually go for an all-out war on Gaza. So it is a very polarized situation, very kind of a polarized situation where the sort of rabid, very ultra nationalist, very ultra Zionist narratives are the most loud ones in the current scenario and who dominate pretty much every other voices and talk over every other voices, even those of peace. So it is not a very pretty scene for within Israel to begin with. So we do not know how far the Israeli government is ready to go in actually satiating these voices. But right now what we have seen so far with the mobilization of tools, the mobilization of press service, it is not going to be a very pretty picture in the coming days. All right, Anish, thanks very much for those updates and we will continue with you to cover developments in Gaza and in Israel over the next few days. But what we move on now to our second story of the day, which is a vital story coming in from Australia, one that we've covered on DDT before in the build-up to this referendum that was held on October 14th across the country because it pertained to a constitutional amendment that allowed for the creation of an elected advisory body representing the indigenous communities of Australia, to our states, islanders to advise parliament on issues that pertain to them that impact them, whether it's on a policy level or a legal or law-making legislative level, or even perhaps even a discourse level, an inclusive sort of idea to give indigenous communities, First Nations communities the kind of voice in the parliamentary electoral system that they deserve and that they have been struggling for. This process, Anish, started a while ago with the guru statement of the heart and it has come to a sort of at least a midpoint in the sense that a majority of those with the right to vote in Australia and those who came out to vote across all six states have said no. So tell us first how this campaign sort of unfolded and how did the no voters win in the end? Well, one of the things that we need to understand is that the no vote started becoming and the support for the no vote started becoming quite dominant only in the past few months. If you look at the opinion polls even before the referendum was announced since August last year, the yes vote and support for a voice, indigenous voice, was overwhelming across Australia. In fact, most states actually had a majority of those who were surveyed supporting it and obviously that came down drastically since about Mejoo when a certain kind of narrative started taking hold. The right wing actually started using a certain set of talking points. Some started claiming that the voice would actually institute a sort of apartheid within Australia, a very species argument, but definitely something that took hold. A lot of fake news was a disinformation was being generated at the time. We also saw the entire Murdoch media up in action at the time being completely opposed and using all sorts of means to undermine the yes vote and the support for the indigenous voice. We must remember that the Murdoch media actually do have a sort of virtual monopoly on press in Australia. There has always been this debate that Australian media is kind of lacking in media diversity, primarily with ownership diversity and the fact that Murdoch media pretty much holds nearly two-thirds of the press in the country clearly shows that they are dominant in a manner which overwhelms every other. If they take a stand so strongly in opposition, they are definitely changing opinions of the people. On the other hand, you had very flashy ads, very advanced kind of advertisement against the voice and that pretty much did give results eventually. It wasn't until a few, a couple of months ago that the opposition actually started gaining a lead over the yes votes and now what you've seen the result is that no overwhelming number has voted no. But at the same time, you can actually also see is all that statement, a lot of the statements being made at the time were debunked. But one very crucial thing was this attempt to project that most of the indigenous communities or aboriginal peoples in Australia were not in support of the voice. For various reasons, they said that some did not think that the voice would be effective. Some did not think that the symbolic gestures would make any difference. But what we see right now is that every electoral district, every small unit administrative unit where indigenous people are an overwhelming majority or at least a majority in terms of demographics have voted overwhelmingly in favour of the voice. And in fact, in Northern Territory where indigenous people have a significantly large minority, there was a very narrow, a smaller margin, much smaller than the national average between the yes and the no vote. So it clearly shows that the indigenous peoples wanted this, but definitely the fact that the non-indigenous settler descendants of settler colonial people has actually been one over to the no side and that is definitely going to make an impact on how things are going to go forward. Because one of the things that it has startled is this one in a century kind of attempt to have the indigenous people be recognised as first peoples of Australia in the constitution and that sort of recognition would have had a massive impact in terms of reparations and even recognising the right over the land that have been colonised over the past several centuries. And so definitely that has been startled and that is a major setback that it will be very difficult to surpass or overcome in the coming years. So where does it go from here Anish, this struggle for true representation within what is the system in Australia? Because lip service has been paid, we talked I think a couple of months ago when I was there and reporting on the women's football world cup that all of those games and these events begin by an acknowledgement that the lands on which they are taking place are lands that were originally belonging to these First Nations communities but very little beyond that lip service. So in terms of the struggle for actual rights and representation, where do things go from here? Well we have to wait and see because obviously as I said that this constitutional amendment to recognise the aboriginal people as the first peoples has been startled. But nevertheless a different kind of if the government is serious about having an indigenous voice in the parliament they can take a legislative route without having this recognition part but having a sort of probably an elected advisory body that will advise the parliament and through a legislative route that is not difficult. But there are other pressing concerns that the indigenous people have taken up especially what as you mentioned the Uluru statement from the heart where there are other demands that are not that have yet to be taken seriously even by the Labour Party and for some of which includes Makarapa Commission which is basically a Truth and Reconciliation Commission that will be necessary to come to terms with the history of colonisation and well essentially genocide that actually did occur on the Australian continent and the stealing of land and a whole host of other atrocities that have been inflicted on them. So these facts have to be taken into this history, it needs to be acknowledged if the government is actually serious about reconciling and you know extending repressions it has other means that does not require a constitutional process which is a very difficult process because of a referendum it will be a far more difficult process but since the government has a majority of its own it can definitely do other it can actually pursue other ways of you know repairing some of the damages historical damages and atrocities that have happened and you know coming to terms with indigenous history a troubled history definitely but also a very rich and vibrant history that has often been ignored by the establishment of the mainstream. So these facts can be these actions can be taken but right now obviously the setback in the setback this is not definitely at the top priority obviously they're trying to you know recruit from that especially those indigenous activists who have been working on the ground for years now to actually make this happen but obviously the failure is going to have a major impact on how the mobilization is going to go forward from here but again as I said if the government is serious it can definitely go for other means of you know making amends but we do not see that forthcoming as of now. All right as Anish rightly pointed out the executive and legislative branches of Australian government remain in the hands of Antony Albanes and the Labour Party so we shall see how they proceed on that front. We'll let Anish go for today Anish but don't go too far because we'll have you back on DDDB very soon. For now our final bit for the day comes from Geneva where public services international is hosting or holding its world congress including of course the global unions federation that represent over 30 million public services workers around the world and of course the unions to which they belong. Jyotsana Singh is there. Jyotsana the fundamental question I think has been asked by what you mentioned was the theme of the conference to begin which is how do you put people before profit in a world that is facing the kind of you know multi-fronted crises that we are talking about that we are reporting on and that many of us are actually living through at this point. Yeah thanks for having me on the show and yeah I am sitting in Pal Expo which is a huge convention hall in Geneva and that is where the conference or the congress is being held. So just to tell you a little give it a little background so public services international is a network of trade unions which work in the public sector so these are the trade unions of the workers in the public sector so there is of course this strong feeling that how important a public sector is a public provisioning of services and the underlying theme constantly is against privatization in fact we have seen presentations here over the past few days which talk about not just that we have to fight privatization but something that goes missing in a lot of debates which is deep privatization also that's happening so the unions and the workers have been and the working class has been fighting against privatization because obviously it leads to multiple crises and in some cases they have won and for example in Kenya there was a presentation yesterday where the water services in a particular province were already privatized and they were pushed by some transnational corporations but how the workers of the sector came together and then they agitated, protested, lobbied etc and now there is a national law that the water won't be privatized so it was that case so that's happening but what is the congress about is so public services international was founded in 1907 and that is when they held their first congress which brought together and the idea was to bring together the working class people from across the world because the might of the capital is such that it works at a global level it does not work at a small territory level right so it is important that the workers also form those alliances across and ask for their rights so this was 1907 and this congress happens every few years where the unions which are members of there are 700 unions today which are members of PSI and in 154 countries so every few years they come together to see which what are the challenges and what direction should the movement take so that those are the deliberations that are happening and that's why we are here and the mood is not only bad which yeah we understand how the world looks like right now in fact yesterday I was hearing I mean I was watching something and it said that you know if you put your finger anywhere on the world map today it pains so but at the same time because so many working class people have come together there is you hear music like working class hero solidarity forever you also hear slogans like water is a public good you can't sell it so all of that so that is the larger mood and this is what the congress is about there are more than 1000 people here 12 to 1300 who are deliberating a range of issues at the moment yeah you just rightly pointed out that that at times like these solidarity becomes something that all of us draw strength from in various ways and also demonstrations of this solidarity put pressure on those who eventually make the decisions to go in a different direction and in many cases we've seen trade unions and activists and organized labor taking the lead whether it's to do with pandemic recovery whether it's to do with climate action whether it's to do with the state of the media like Anish was pointing out and but and this is true you know again wherever you point your finger whether it's Ukraine or Gaza or Australia as Anish was just pointing out right now there's also a great deal of as you were mentioning earlier intersectionality the discussions on gender and reproductive rights in the wider context of access to healthcare and and those kind of issues so so so give us let's let's leave our viewers with a sense of that little bit of that positivity and that solidarity that that you are witnessing at the moment so I think there are these certain cutting across themes which give us a sense of what's happening at the global level and where the solidarity is emerging one amazing thing that one sees is the number of healthcare work young workers who have come and from across sectors and this is something that PSI has taken up also as a campaign that we need to have younger people we need to talk to them we need to ask them what are their issues so and then there is also a huge presence of LGBTQI plus workers of across sectors because that is something which is always pushed down the carpet and but the workers are saying it cannot happen anymore we need our rights we need recognition we need to show up as someone said so these you we had one entire day discussing just the LGBTQI plus rights and issues and again there have been victories in many countries for example IKEA Netherlands gives paid leave for gender transition to transgender people and now they are expanding it to their other outlets across the world and that has happened because of the pressure that the workers and especially the all the workers so it is not just the duty of LGBTQI plus to ask for their rights but the working class movement there itself took it upon itself to ask for these rights and there have been victories so you keep you are hearing about it you're hearing about how the working class is being paid low and there are shortages of staff but in how they are talking to the governments and how they are protesting and agitating and trying to see that this should not continue so these are the themes and digitalization how that is actually not just taking away jobs but also becoming an exploitative system and extractivism in the capitalism so but people are standing up and therefore it is good to see in that sense that while we talk about challenges we are also talking about how to solve them and one thing that has emerged I think I must say this in every single session is alliance building that you have to form alliances if there are doctors for example there was an example so doctors who are employed so employment itself had become a barrier for the union so they started to go to the unemployed doctors and those who are still in the colleges the MBBS colleges so how to form alliances across and all of that has produced results a solidarity in alliances I think is how you ensure people over profit not otherwise absolutely as you were pointing out underlining the need for workers around the world to unite to combat issues that that seem that are bringing us together in opposition but they are bringing us together thanks very much for reporting on that from Geneva for us to us now we'll also wrap up this episode of daily debut here we've gone longer than our usual time so very quickly a chance to ask you to head to our website peoplesdispatch.org for details on all of these stories we'll be back of course tomorrow with more until then stay safe thank you very much for watching goodbye
