willer, he's a professor of international law and international constitutional studies at the university of cambridge. i asked him if us president trump has any legal authority to put take over the gaza strip. you know, he's speaking without any legal authority, whatever. it sounds like he is thinking in terms of his domestic practice as a property type, coon who can take over some dialect, wasteland, and turn it into a flower to florida. right. or a says florida like races, but here of course it's not an empty try to treat this as the territory which belongs to. ready palestine i the as a state, if you think it is a state already or is a self determination entity, which means that entities that this entire former state all of this, the entire series, which includes garza and nobody else can dispose of the stairs. israel has no right . ready of it, and mr. trump has absolutely no claim to the saying, as we said, we own it, we will, we will take it over. so that is uh uh, frontier. well, 1st of all, what would, what would the legal implications be then if the president were to try to act on this idea

"instead, go with a smaller battery that, 0k, will carry "less energy, but you'll be able to r

and we, echion technologies, university of cambridge and have developed technologies to address preciselytion, bigger. they require bigger batteries, and they're used... uh, they're used in a different way than electric cars. they're used typically very intensively. they are used in industrial and commercial settings where you cannot afford to have your vehicle sitting idle, doing nothing, being recharged, for instance, because that costs money. sometimes they operate in very difficult environments, very cold environments, hot environments. all of these things are just very difficult for the battery. so what we are doing really is addressing the very difficult limitations at that... place on batteries. of people will talk about is that range anxiety, worrying that, you know, the battery will run out before they get where they need to get to. about long—distance lorry drivers, you know, the demands how do you solve that? "a gigantic battery that will last for a very long time. "less energy, but you'll be able to recharge this battery "very fast, maybe in five or ten minutes." all you care

many universities are already creating a positive policies. cambridge university in the u. k. it's now okay to use a i for getting an overview of new concepts to the coach or help with time management. so i'm scholars cool for exams that should be done in a way that no one can cheat using ai and to propose students for the working world . school should teach anywhere to they i, but only using limited versions. and then it's also up to us, be honest, which context have you use a i the, you know, you probably shouldn't have. would you share that with us pfeiffer now, and see you next time the as african americans return to dawn, they price out below goals. what does that integration look like? your presence is actually creating a problem for us and we came to the contract. so the, the amount of money. so do you guys think we have at least as soon as we can test conversations and honest offices lead to greater understanding this 77 percent in 30 minutes on the w. i see all the trees getting thing, please and i'll cleans of all 5 of 20. 50 is much of a much pretty know and everybody just respects the need to i want to live in it wa
