us since the end of may, but the government is threatening to stand the bind if the situation does not change. we spoke with a co one. that's how the official displayed the consequences a little companies made use of won't go said c drive. so we know that the succession would have been avoided on leave. the company paid more attention to the policy of managing dams, as well as pools at the open minds that's coast of water pollution. it is known to everyone that the waters that overflowed that bangs, or caused damage to the nearby mining town waters that were held back by then. there was a department that should have noticed the increase in the mass of water as well as check the equipment and prevent the incidents that today we can say that we've been a band in the incidents are killed in march, but cielo brothers and sisters in human conditions, people get sick habits, a, they are not given proper care. we'll see that the trait is known,

and they must come to the age of those affected by this natural disaster. you say about this, well, as you know, the st. petersburg eco for is going on a right now is a be is but, and our mind unit and elizabeth, keep me is up to date. union is just go on a one that pm here. uh, we knows, i guess the form is in full swing. our things with you yeah, they absolutely are all the key themes being discussed today. it's a very busy day, day 2 here at speed 2023 bodies when things really kicked into gear discussions help and run tables, panel discussions around every corner. and i tell you want, there are a lot of corners here. it's an absolutely huge boss. space. one of the themes though, is all digital, secure, etc. how that affects us all really in the, in the globe, and how our information or privacy going forward is going to be kept the ease of

movement in a digital world as well. and with that in mind, i'm delighted to welcome our special guest as our, our vin good to ahead and co founder of the digital india foundation policy. think to mr. good that you're most welcome. thank you, sir. thank you for having a lot of issues. i want to get into but, but 1st and foremost, digital technology, we mentioned it's, you're going to be talking to a pulse, etc. today you're going to be feeling a lot of questions about how i guess secure we are at ourselves in terms of sufficiency, self sufficiency in, not ram. how safe are we? um, let me just give a little bit of profess before i sure answer that question. the whole from eyes of the, the, the, the 4th industrial revolution, the digital revolution that you're seeing happening in front of us, was connected with the, which was a t as why the internet about 3045 years ago. today we have more than 5000000000

people on the planet who use digital technologies internet on a daily basis to, to be, to stay connected to enhance the quality of life. and, you know, to, to enjoy movies to, to consume, to buy things, you know, to make payments. and that was a promise of the internet. but over the course of time, what we have done is we have we actually did away from the goal by giving these power of the internet to a few large corporations globally. and. and that's the reason i wonder to give that proof is because today of technology in the hands of the fuel is either for profit only, there is no consumer interest. and mine also doesn't interest in mine or technology for surveillance. many large platforms assume that so to answer your question, uh, really depends on which lengths are you looking at the lens off um whether your data is being used to, you know, serve you at, um, advertising or to, to,

to really move your thoughts into a particular direction and it can do that and it is doing that. we've seen that in the past. that technology, the platforms have. uh you know, really uh, shipped, uh open in a, in a, in a manner that was not in it. and then intention and mutual intention. so um, how satisfied are we in this, this whole goal reward? well, it really depends on, you know, how and most of the 5000000 people don't know how to raise their thumbs and reference. the big contracts that come by using these uh, these platforms and products, so they end up becoming the product themselves. one of the product is pretty, you are the product. and um, and that is being the cartilage zation to monopolize ation that the big tech have done globally now to on. so that are to, to, to see, i think countries will have to work together to harmonize that policies to harmonize cross border data agreements. and actually build their own systems. the

digital serenity, auth nations, lies in their own times. that that's the problem though, is that because that's the crux of the monitor, the issue is having digital sovereignty. having control of that in your own, your own borders, your own state, and also working together in not in, not way forward. i imagine that's going to be one of the great talking points of a century. and, and you know, that is the balance we have to do. yeah. we cannot cleared splint on this. we cannot create local internets, that's spent the next we, but we have to ensure that, that data that is being used, that technology that has been used is not being used against your, your national interest. and that requires both the technology um, a technology policies are multi lateral bilateral agreement is that you make sure that to the ends to all these 3 instruments that you are protecting. what does, what does is good for your,

your way of life and not your way of life is not getting dictated by a few people. sitting somebody in the remote corner of the water telling you what to consume and what not to continue. present president clinton has, has made it a part of light importance being able to, to control your destiny in, in the way, you know, when we mention such things as, access to data storage being blocked. you know, in this, in this sense, in western homes, within russia at streaming technology discontinued, you know, how do you up domestic capability in, in a short period of time? is it going to be connection with friendly countries as it, where, or can you do it domestically? on your own. excellent. by sending that at the the, the, the point i would like to add to that is yes. you can be done both with friendly countries as well as, um, uh domestically. um india as a prime example of the site. um, we had 1400000 people over the last 8 to 9 years we have built worked on these

payment systems. and now this payment system process process is 45 percent of the transactions on a daily basis is $1.00 payment system. and it does sticking on uh, you know, multi $1000000000.00 corporations for fairly intention to into the economic system in india. but, you know, and, and kind of taking a much far lead over to them. so in the i shown the way that acknowledges it can be used for development for societal good and not just for profit or not just the survey. that's not a population scale, not at a small scale on a scale of 1400000 people. so definitely it's going to be done. uh, and i'm nowhere to as far as saying activity very close have a close model. in fact, i'm talking about a very different model which is a model open model that everybody can participate. but the for levels of the infrastructure is something that you will have developed locally. and then

everybody can come and participate on top of that quarterly. and that is the defense of the indiana. because there's, there's a difference between protectionism of protecting yourself. absolutely considered very well that, you know, you have, as i said, and that's, there's a, there's a at least 3 or 4 instruments about developing the local technology. having little bit of confidence having write policies in place and, and, and, you know, doing right agreements with other nation states and cooperating, collaborating, and, and sharing technology. the vaccine platform that india double up the once make a made open source so that other countries could do it and it didn't have. um, edward is open source, so says that you, you didn't see that, you know, there was a, there was a back door that india could control. so to gain trust in technology, you will have to come out with motor open solutions, which can be shared. uh for the global, but it's a fascinating top, it's one that's only i think it's only getting understood the on the on a more wider level not but we, we think it's likely that people like you to come. busy on and share your expertise

with us and break it down in layman's language for us, but it's not as important as well. we've been speaking to urban group, the head and co founder of the digital india foundation policy. things like many thanks for your time today and to unenroll the for him. thank you very much. okay. yeah. now there's where we leave it for now from st. petersburg. it's all happening . it's all going on. lots of guess throughout the day, throughout the coming hours as well as, but for not stay with us. we're back with, we're out. but there's a lot more happening by for 9 and 80 and that was great. oh is good to see you and i see super busy that but it was positive also very positive. things again, of the light is on, on sizes out, back to the african count and 10 years president has repeated his goal for african nations to ditch the us, the love of inter continental and say, as well as the introduction of a single african. conversely,

to simplify all of us our people can up to 8, but i worried about which currency to use this. among other non tariff barriers is something we must urgently address so that people can begin to trade together and integrate every single sprint in a neighboring booty. present room to highlight to the need to find in dependence on the us the all over transactions in the neighbors are traded into both. yeah, and canyon county have sees us the lives of mutual trade, the tools of goals for further development of the mechanism provided by after an export import bank. which and so facilitate payments in local currencies. the idea of a single currency in africa and other developing regions has been mowed for some time in january. the east african communities said it was set up the east african luxury institute of print. so to the east african, the central bank of it will issue the single currency, the group items as a bait,

the separation of civil, real courtesy in the next fuel he is the britain slip all the nations on the front . so leading dealer rise ation efforts on a global scale, the creation of a british contest. it will be one of the main topics of discussion when a group of 5 minutes into how does the oldest we spoke with a kenyan business advisor. i'm onto the told us, but indeed the is ation is a concern for the west that may leaks and its global position. the car could be at the got it and see for is the optic that off the site and then it'll separate it from printing idea. however, it should be a live session before i ask pam who wants to that is from all the economic political. and in addition on the fact that if i may say about this, i'm just going back to the tennis channel benefits and also challenges

if you sign up in the united. yeah. from the standpoint of course the need to know integration article. let me go back to some of the setting, essentially the kind of as it becomes through that when this be mindful, i know we have to do an update that stuff. do you still kind of the more the mindful there for them that is more than they don't like. and so these, these are the, uh, they have to may not be interested. because if maybe we can sell that in is the for, for use for international trade. so it is essential to access that in the next 15 countries. so much, let me convert them in this yourselves. on the 1st, i don't know, but i saw them in order for me to get what dentist of telling just that mad i when they're trying to bring their the come on the cutting and see is they're gonna the, the middle east them and is ready. and this was demolish the housing gaza will also

destroy a precious antique collection. but how long distance you see or has, i'm well, how much and how the valuable collection of pieces, representing past indian heritage. and how does mine know? my brother, who lives in the house below mine called me and told me that these radios don't seem to evacuate the house within 5 minutes. at 1st i couldn't believe what my brother told me. i tried to evacuate some of my belongings in addition to evacuating the houses of the neighbors, baton for an hour and a half. they find the 1st miss all from the drawing. and i don't know why they pump the house. is it because it contains the heritage of palestine and launch onto a logical holdings? there was a real museum in the house which is completely lost, as it is still buried under the rubble. there were precious stones and many heritage items. i spent more than 40 years collecting the museums off to fox. i feel great, sighed disciple, what happened to my house. not because the standards were demolished,

but because my private museum was demolished. i also government in garza to compensate me financially and psychologically as a natural right for me as a citizen who has become homeless and cannot leave the place and live with his family. he is very passing and coughing has been ongoing in decades, bullying sophia on both sides as well, says that its main goal is to console minutes and pose a threat to the country. however, according to the pass in deputy housing as a defensive civilian was systematically subjected to the system i think is really the aggression a yeah, t r. do any, let's get out of that is that the latest aggression came as part of a series of systematic is really aggressions against defense for civilians. more plants targeted the homes of defense, the citizens killing dozens of local residents, injuring hundreds and destroying thousands of housing units. so the financial estimate through building what was destroyed is $10000000.00 that the sick any more

than $200.00 families have been displaced in the financial estimate for building what was destroyed as a $10000000.00. more than 200 families have been displaced. they are now homeless and living in difficult humanitarian condition. they need urgent intervention, and the provision of released funds and the rent allowance as a temporary solution of the meal heard of the un relief and was agency for palestine refugees. it should be polite as evening as of others. it all fits into assume glass and food for the support of the old line station. but despite the assistance from multiple countries, financial difficulty is brought to the organization to the verge of financial collapse. odds ease of middle east, closer to maria for national as well. almost 6000000 registered palestinian refugees rely on the united nations relief and works agency. those who lost the homes of to 1948 or shortly after the establishment of the state of israel. the
