Episode Transcript
Good morning. This is Send seven World News in seven minutes.
I'm Stephen Devin Chenzi. Today is Wednesday, the first of
October twenty twenty five. Starting in Asia today. In East Asia,
(00:23):
the death toll from Typhoon Bualoi has risen to at
least forty six, with more people missing. Typhoon Boa Aloi
passed through the Philippines over the weekend, Vietnam on Sunday
and Monday, and Laos yesterday. Boilois is now over Myanmar
but is much weaker. At the time of recording this podcast,
(00:47):
there were also very recent reports of an earthquake in
the Philippines. South Korea's intelligence agency has warned about increased
risks of cyber attacks at the moment, saying that hackers
might take advantage of weaknesses in technology systems after a
(01:08):
major fire at a government data center a few days ago.
In the Mediterranean Sea, an international collection of boats hoping
to reach Gaza with humanitarian aid is only about four
hundred kilometers away, which could take just a few days.
(01:29):
The Global Sumud Flotilla is the biggest attempt of volunteers
to reach Gaza by boat, involving about fifty boats. Italian
and Spanish navy ships have accompanied the boats at times
after some of them were hit by drones last week.
During previous attempts to reach Gaza, Israel has intercepted the boats,
(01:54):
detained the people on board, and then deported them. In Indonesia,
a school has collapsed, leaving ninety one people missing with
three confirmed deaths. Part of the Islamic boarding school were
still under construction when the building collapsed, and most of
(02:16):
the missing are teenage boys. In China, eleven people have
been sentenced to death for running cyber crime activities in
Myanmar worth over a billion dollars and for killing fourteen
of the workers who had disobeyed them. All eleven people
(02:37):
who have been sentenced to death are members of the
same family, and another twelve people have received prison time.
In Afghanistan, the internet and mobile phone services have been
almost completely cut off, with the Taliban saying that this
is to prevent immorality. America's Colombian President, Gustavo Pedro has
(03:06):
said that the United States is violating international law and
that President Donald Trump deserves to be in jail. Last week,
after the United Nations General Assembly debate, Gustavo Pedro took
part in street demonstrations in support of Palestine, and in
a speech he said that US soldiers should disobey their orders.
(03:32):
The United States revoked Pedro's visa. In a televised government
broadcast yesterday, Pedro said that Trump is complicit in the
genocide that Israel is committing in Gaza, and said that
the US is not obeying international law by arresting Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which is a reference to the
(03:55):
International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Nettan.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yahoo, your Trump complicey.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
If mister Trump keeps being complicit in a genocide as
he is today, he deserves nothing but jail, and his
army should not obey him. The United States, in reality,
does not recognize international law. Any person from any nationality
by these courts should be captured by any country, So
(04:27):
Netanyahu should be captured in the United States.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Es car To Rao.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
In the United States, YouTube has agreed to pay President
Donald Trump twenty four point five million dollars to settle
a court case that he brought against them for removing
his YouTube channel after the attacks on the US Congress
in January twenty twenty one, Earlier this year. Vetta also
(05:01):
settled a similar case with Trump by agreeing to pay
him twenty five million dollars for shutting down his Facebook
account after the January the sixth briots Africa. Madagascar's President
Andre Rajolina has dissolved the government in response to ongoing protests.
(05:25):
In a televised broadcast, Ragolina said that his government had
not met the needs of the people. The United Nations
has said that over twenty people have died in protests
over the last four days. These aren't the biggest protests
in Madagascar for decades. Namibia's government has said that fires
(05:47):
in the Etosha National Park have been brought under control.
The fire has been burning for more than a week
and a third of the park is believed to have
been burned. Europe in Belgium, at a joint European Union
NATO meeting yesterday, European Union Commission President Ursula vonder Leyan
(06:11):
said that the EU would give Ukraine reparation loans which
would come from frozen Russian ascids. NATO head Mark Rutter
spoke about the importance of a drone wall to protect
Europe from Russian air incursions.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
The drone will initiative is timely necessary because in the
end we cannot spend millions of euros or dollars on
missiles to take out the drones, which are only costing
a couple of thousand dollars, so we need a drone wall.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
In Serbia, eleven people have been arrested for hate crimes
against Muslims and Jews in France and Germany. France had
previously said that they suspected that foreign interference was probably
responsible for actions such as placing pigs heads outside mosques,
(07:07):
throwing green paint over a synagogue, and defacing a Holocaust monument.
And in Spain, police say that they have arrested three
suspected drug traffickers who were pretending to be pilgrims walking
the Camino de Santiago in the northwestern region of Galicia.
(07:29):
One Colombian man and two Ecuadorians had been watched operating
a semi submersible boat and when the police detained them,
they pretended to be pilgrims. However, the police found them
soaking wet and later found tons of cocaine. A big
thank you to Rafao in Poland, Nicola in Italy and

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
