Welcome to ITU Telecom World 2018 here in Durban, South Africa where I've got the great pleasure of being joined in the studio today by Mr Abdul Karim Sumaila, who is the Secretary-General of the Africa Telecommunications Union. Mr Sumaila, nice to see you again, welcome to the studio. Yes, thank you. Now, I'd like to start off by talking about what a smart digital development means to you and how is the ITU working towards it? You know, this word, smart, it's now begun, I cannot say a fashion or it what, but anyone now want to say smart on anything. So hope that the smart ICT have a very nice name for, especially the African countries, where we know and I think most of the players know that today ICT play a key role in the continent and especially in terms of the development and we believe we as Africa that this smart ICT, we're going to change many things in Africa and it already changed. As we said, it's why we do things and for us, when you look on the past, today ICT play a very economic help on many African countries when you look about the mobile money globally, but also when you look about those development of the smart city that we start, put together and also the smart education, the smart health. So I think we are really on the way to achieve, but however, there is a lot of things to do before to achieve all those objectives. I know most African countries have a very strong policy in terms of the ICT development, in terms of the internet connectivity and I think many minister here on the debate already put this on the table, say that there is a lack of things, especially when it comes to the broadband. Let's talk about innovation.  You know, it will be a big question to answer because it depends on how you see it because in terms of innovation, I think today we're looking for, for me, we're looking for the application. And when we say application, it means what you will do with this 3G, this 4G, because you know as political, don't speak about them 3G or 4G, tell them what application they are going to use in terms of to do a visa, 4G or 3G or 5G when it's come. It's the utilization of the ICT to, for example, Africa in terms of education, in terms of health, and also in terms of transport, but also in terms of reducing the cost of the transport because many things today you can do it directly, you don't need to move from another place to this place, you pay all your bills today in many African countries with your phone, you don't need to move. About 5G, 5G seems a little dot in the distance for some countries, I mean, how can governments ensure that this becomes a reality? I think it's not only the government to push it only to be a reality, it will be together with all the key players, I mean that with the industry, with the telecom operator because you know whatever we as a member said or government push to do, we have to do with the business case, we have to do with the market. Other way for me today is good for us if we can have 5G because we know that the application on 5G are very important, but the problem is not sure that if it's some market in Africa or not ready to do that. What about digital literacy, what measures do you think should be taken to make sure that everybody is digital literate? You know for me there is many initiative does member state, taking Africa, when you see that they say any laptop for all the school, I don't know whether it will be a reality or not, but we think that it is under some who make project connect all the village in their countries. So I think there is a big step that members take in terms of putting first the digital, putting first the computer, before you fight about it you must be sure that at least we have device to do it, we have to be sure that we have connected to do it. So you cannot do literacy if we don't have internet access, if we don't have laptop that we have this tablet like you have today, so we cannot do it. So I think it's not to say about, but it's to put something, all those ingredients in France to say that how we will do, we will fight about digital literacy, but the problem we have to go first to school.  Finally, we're here at ITU telecom world, you're no stranger to ITU events, I just really wanted to find out what's the value for you of attending this event? I think it's not the value only for me, but it's the value should be come from member states, for those young people who attend to what kind of sharing they have here, and also what they learn, because you see there's many interactive workshops, there's many discussions, even many ministers, they attend many random table, so for me I think of this, we at member states we learn, there is changing, there is country coming from Asia, they give on the table, they explain what they achieve today, and African country also share with them, but I think when we share with someone, we learn from each other, and you have the many younger people coming here, also in terms of innovating, they change and they see how to create those what you call small entrepreneur, so I think there's many things that we have here to learn, and when we go back we try to implement it, which are the very best, the rest of you will stay here, and for the future, and look forward to catching up with you again at some stage in the future too. Thank you very much. Yes, thank you, thank you very much.


You just watched the family of fallen officer Brian Sicknick snub Mitch McConnell to his face during the Congressional Medal of Honor Ceremony intended to honor the officers who defended the Capitol during the January 6th insurrection and man was that satisfying to watch and Mitch McConnell expected To get handshakes, but when he was rejected just a look on his face his soul being crushed It was very cathartic for me to see because Mitch McConnell is an absolute ghoul and he doesn't deserve respect from anyone now to be clear Kevin McCarthy was being snubbed as well by the family but He wasn't holding out his hand. So it was less awkward for him But which with Mitch McConnell he was expecting a handshake which he didn't get now the officer Brian Sicknick died After the January 6th insurrection due to a stroke and his brother here is going to explain why they refused to shake Mitch McConnell's hand Sorry, but you know they came out right away and condemned what happened on January 6th, and whatever told That Trump has on him. It's back step. They've danced. They won't admit to wrong-doing not necessarily them themselves But of Trump all the riders. I mean people like people like Louise Goldman Who presented the American flag that was flown over the Capitol to a January 6th rider? Told them they were a patriot Disgusting and that's the way everything my brother's done. It's the way my brother was a heroism my brother showed You don't think you don't think they deserve to handshake in this context. No No, because they because unlike wish Janey they have no idea what integrity they can't stand up for what's right wrong But it's no with them. It's party first I Yeah, I mean I can't say that I blame them for the reasoning here I would never shake any of these politicians hands because none of them deserve our respect given how terrible They've governed the country and just ran it into the ground because they're all corrupt But I think that they especially have a reason to not be respectful to these politicians After they've shown them no respect now. I've got one more video clip that I want to play for you This is from Gladys sick Nick the mother of Brian sick Nick and his brother they kind of explained how they came to this decision and Why they also did not intend on shaking Kevin McCarthy's hand as well There's much more to that response it basically comes down to this the family members said that There was the continued loyalty to Donald Trump that was the problem for them that the idea that Kevin McCarthy in particular To a lesser degree Mitch McConnell but McCarthy going down to Mar-a-Lago in the days after January 6th That they they couldn't take seriously this idea that they were now backing the police officers who stood up and fought on January 6th So yeah, I mean I think that they are absolutely within their right to pay no respect to these loathsome Politicians and especially considering that McCarthy is going to investigate the January 6th committee. I Mean it's just like they're spitting in the faces of this family So why would they be respectful the fact that Mitch McConnell would hold out his hand and expect a handshake in return?   I don't see why we don't see this more I don't understand how all of these politicians aren't afraid to show their faces in public because every time they leave home They get booed loudly wherever they go I don't care if it's at a restaurant or at a department store anyone who sees them should be booing because these people are Ruining the country. I mean extend this it's not just about January 6th And that particular family think of all the ways that these politicians are screwing us over and to be clear I'm not just talking about Republicans as well to see Chuck Schumer in public I would boo him as well to see Nancy Pelosi. I would boo her as well There's always a reason to challenge these politicians in power always right because even if Democrats for example are better than Republicans. They're still inadequate. They're still not meeting our expectations Chuck Schumer isn't allowing a vote on an antitrust bill That is very important for reigning in big tech This is something that could pass but he is not allowing it to pass He hasn't reigned in his caucus Joe Manchin Kirsten cinema and has allowed them to essentially cripple the Democratic Party's agenda Nancy Pelosi very clearly guilty of insider trading killed that bill There's just so much to hate about these politicians and even if you agree with the politician I think that there's no reason to not challenge them for example back in 2018 2019 My senator Jeff Merkley who I actually like he did a town hall I showed up and I got the opportunity to ask him a question and I challenged him I asked him why he didn't speak up in defense of the of the First Amendment and condemn The extradition case by the US for Julian Assange because that case Could be the slippery slope well where if you prosecute him and successfully extradite him then other journalists in this country are going to Be fearful of posting leaks Because of what happened to Julian Assange and now the New York Times has finally come out and said the same thing that yes This is an attack on journalism. So there's always some reason to challenge these politicians So at a minimum stop worshiping them, but at most I think that if you see them in public These are public figures. You're their boss by the way, you put them in power They're supporting it to you or should be anyways It's not like they're loading lording over us and we're the peasants We are their bosses So it is incumbent on us to hold them accountable and when Congress has such a low approval rating There's no reason to buddy up with them when you see them in public and take their pictures No respectfully challenge them or if you don't want to be bothering with these people if they're that loathsome to where they can't be Changed their minds are just set. They're too corrupt then boo them.  So to see this family Basically give Mitch McConnell the middle finger. It was really satisfying to watch I want more Americans to understand that these politicians are not their friends They are your employees you are their boss treat them accordingly stop pretending like their celebrities Actually challenge them and hold them accountable if you have the opportunity to meet them


Hi, folks. In this short tutorial, I'm going to show you how to submit a video file to Canvas Studio and turn in an assignment as a student. Let's go ahead and get to it. So I have a basic assignment guide up for an informative speech, and this is an assignment or as a student. You would be asked to record an informative speech and then upload it into Canvas. I've already got this set up to accept studio files, so I'm going to get started by clicking the Start Assignment button. And then down here you're going to see that under Submission, there are a bunch of different options here, but what I'm looking for today is the Studio tab. When you click on the Studio tab, it's going to bring up the Studio interface here, and there's a bunch of different options. Now, if you view Studio for other things, you might see a library here with a bunch of different stuff. I'm going to assume, if you're watching this video, you haven't uploaded anything yet. And so in that case, we're going to want to go ahead and click this Add button. I will note that it is possible to record directly from Studio and do some other things, but I'm going to assume that for the sake of this tutorial, you have recorded your speech video, and you are ready to go ahead and upload that in. So I'm going to click that Add button, and then I'm going to select the option over here. It says Drag and Drop or Upload Media, and I'm going to click Browse Files. At this point, you need to find the video file that you want to submit. I have conveniently placed mine on my desktop, a student underscore informative speech, and I'm going to go ahead and click Open to bring that in. And now it's just going to take a couple of minutes for it to upload the video file. I will note that if you have recorded your video in extra high resolution, it may take a while for it to complete this process. And so especially on newer devices like newer iPhones that record an HD or 4K by default, it may take quite a while to complete this if you don't have a super fast video connection. All right, let's go ahead and give that a second, and we'll check in. Great, now you can see on my kind of average internet, that whole process took about four minutes. If you have faster internet than I do, because I have about an average connection, it might go a little bit quicker. But if you have slow internet, it may go a little bit slower, and so it may be in your best interest to record in a slightly lower resolution if it does give you problems. Now that the video has been added to my studio library, I'm ready to go ahead and click Select by hovering over that video, and then go ahead and embed it. I like to give the option to download just in case there are any issues, but that is obviously a choice that is up to you. And I do think it's helpful that if your instructor has included a rubric as you turn the video in, you get that one last look at that rubric to ensure what you got going on here is what you want. So I'm going to go ahead and click Embed, and then at that point I'm going to certify that this is my own original work, and submit my assignment. Now if you scroll up, you can see that it shows that it was submitted, and you can see the details of the submission, and this will let you to even go back and watch it to make sure that everything is working correctly. And if not, you can always resubmit that assignment. All right, folks, well that wraps up the process of using Canvas Studio to submit a video to an assignment on Canvas. Thanks for watching, and good luck.
