our next story is about Iran the country is looking for a new capital president masud pesan has been talking about this for months now and now his official spokesperson has confirmed it Iran's regime is looking to relocate it wants to leave thran and make its way to the sunny coast of makran but is this even feasible does Iran have the resources to move its capital and what makes macaran so special our next report report has details thean is the current capital of Iran it is Iran's most important city by far tan is around four times the size of Iran's Second City mashad the capital and its surrounding region are home to about 20% of Iran's population and 30% of Iran's GDP it's the definition of a primate City disproportionately larger and more important than any other but there's always a problem with putting all your eggs in one basket if the basket breaks you're in big trouble thean is a basket that is breaking it is bursting at the seams because of overpopulation the water supply there is stretched to the brink thean reportedly consumes 25% of Iran's drinking water and there are frequent water shortages there Industries and heavy traffic are taking a toll on the air quality choking working the city every winter thean also lies on major fault lines it is prone to earthquakes a big one could kill millions of people and Destroy Iran's already fragile economy so president mud pesan has come up with a plan he wants to move the capital Iran has considered moving capitals before it has commissioned at least six feasibility studies since 1989 Iran's parliament passed a law in 2014 mandating that the government take relocation seriously former presidents Mahmud ahmedin Asad and Hassan Rohani both considered the idea as well but despite all this the needle hasn't really moved even the current government spokesperson says there's no hurry we are seeking assistance from academics Elites and experts in this field including engineering sociology or economics it is definitely in the m region in the South hopefully we can proceed in the most effective Direction although the matter is not urgent Iran is taking it slow but it seems to have identified the new capital region the makran coast mcran is an arid Coastal belt split between Iran and Pakistan it isn't the first place you would think of for a new capital but Iran has a plan makran is being considered in fact the region of makran and of course two councils have been formed one is a council that is assessing the problems of the capital and two a council that is working on the sea oriented economy and one of its assignments is working on the measurements required for makran area Iran wants its new capital to be Coastal it wants to take advantage of the trade possibilities and cuton transportation costs pesan said and I quote transporting raw materials from the south to the Cent processing them and then returning them South for export drains our competitive capacity we must shift the country's economic and political Center to the South and closer to the sea that is why they have zeroed in on mcran it fits all the required criteria but is this plan realistic moving capitals is rare but it has been done before turkey moved its capital from Istanbul to Ankara in the 1920s Brazil moved it from rition Arrow to Brazilia the old capitals remain economic power centers but the new administrative capitals are successful in their own right they help relieve some of the pressure from the bigger cities the problem with Iran's plan is in functionality it is finances the country is reeling from Western sanctions it has an abundance of resources but hardly anyone to trade with because the West has hammered Iran's economy Iran's exports may become more competitive with the coast Capital it may be able to reduce costs and offer terms that potential Partners can't refuse but how will Iran afford to set up a new capital in the first place money is the biggest hurdle for Iran right now so while PES kean's plan might be great in the long run he might not have the funds to begin the journey from breaking news to the day's biggest controversies shedding light on the world's top headlines detailed analysis on the stories that matter the most to you catch it all on Spotlight

in the high stakes race for dominance in the skies China is making bold moves to challenge the global Dooly of Boeing and Airbus with its homegrown passenger jet the comac c919 the nation is setting its sights on reshaping the aircraft Market the comac c919 is a narrow body airliner it can carry up to 190 passengers with a range of 5,500 km the aircraft which made its commercial debut in 2023 is already flying domestic routes with China's Aviation Giants Air China China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines in a significant Milestone the c919 completed its first international flight on December 31st 2024 making a scheduled journey to Hong Kong according to the Financial Times report comac's Ambitions doesn't stop there Deputy GM of marketing yangyang claimed that the company aims to expand operations to Southeast Asia by 2026 and is working towards European certification as early as this year the stakes are enormous over the next two decades the world will require more than 42,000 new aircraft with single a planes like the c919 comprising 80% of its Demand by 2040 comac aims to deliver nearly 2,000 units of the c919 potentially ramping up the production from just one plane a month today to 11 per month Global Supply Chain disruptions have left Boeing and Airbus grappling with engine and component shortages providing a window of opportunity for newcomers like comac Boeing 737 Max have been delayed because of safety concerns and ongoing protests yet industry experts caution that penetrating the international markets will take some time breaking into Global markets is not easy feat certification hurdles maintainance support and Reliance on Western made components remains significant challenges despite these the c919 symbolizes president XI jinping's Vision to propel China up the technological value chain and reduce Reliance on Foreign imports building the necessary support infrastructure for maintainance and certification in overseas markets is costly and complex and geopolitical tensions particularly between the US and China further complicate comac's Ambitions the c919 Reliance on Western suppliers including engines from CFM intern National and auxiliary systems from honey underscores a dependency that could hinder production if geopolitical tensions escalate meanwhile comac is developing its first widebody aircraft the c929 aimed at competing with Boeing 787 Dreamliner and air buses a350 but with a projected entry into service no earlier than 2040 this is a long-term play for China's Aviation Ambitions for now comac's primary role is import substitution serving China's domestic Airlines and reducing dependence on foreign Manufacturing ERS but the path to becoming true Global competitor is fraught with challenges for more news and updates keep watching
Welcome to our podcast where we cover unique and interesting stories for you in this episode we will discuss how AI is helping search for alien life on Mars and Beyond aliens have long been a fascinating subject for humans innumerable movies TV series and books are proof of this Allure our search for extraterrestrials has even taken us to other planets albeit remotely this search has progressed Leaps and Bounds in the last few years but it is still in its natal stages Global space agencies like the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and China National Space Administration have in recent years sent Rovers to Mars to Aid this search remotely however the accuracy of these random searches remains low to remedy this the search for extraterrestrial intelligence Institute has been exploring the use of artificial intelligence for finding extraterrestrial life on Mars and other icy worlds according to a report on Space a recent study from seti states that AI could be used to detect microbial life in the depths of the icy oceans on other planets in a paper published in nature astronomy the team details how they trained a machine learning model to scan data for signs of microbial life or other unusual features that could be indicative of alien life using a machine learning algorithm called convolutional neural networks a multidisciplinary team of scientists led by CT's Kim Warren roads has mapped sparse life forms on Earth Warren rhs worked alongside experts from other prestigious institutions Michael Phillips of Johns Hopkins Applied Physics lab and Freddy kis of the University of Oxford the system developed by them used statistical ecology and AI detected bios signatures with up to 87.5% accuracy compared to only 10% for random searches as per the researchers it can potentially reduce the search area by up to 97% making it easier for scientists to locate potential chemical traces of life for testing their system they initially focused on the sparse life forms that dwell in salt does rocks and crystals at salad deales at the boundary of the Chilean atakama desert and altiplano Warren rhods and his team collected over 8,000 images and 1,000 samples from salad deonis to search for photosynthetic microbes that may represent a bio signature on NASA's ladder of Life detection for finding life beyond Earth the team also used drone imagery to to simulate Mars reconnaissance orbiters highresolution Imaging experiment cameras Martian terrain images to examine the region they found that microbial life in the region is concentrated in biological hotspots that strongly relate to the availability of water researchers suggest that the machine learning tools developed can be used in robotic planetary missions like NASA's perseverance Rover the tools can guide Rovers towards areas with a higher probability of having traces of alien life even if they are rare or hidden with these models we can design tailor made road maps and algorithms to guide Rovers to places with the highest probability of harboring past or present life no matter how hidden or rare explained Warren rhs thanks for tuning in if you enjoyed this episode be sure to subscribe and share your thoughts in the comments stay connected for more exciting discussion and updates in our next video

Welcome to our New Video where we cover unique and interesting stories for you in this episode we will discuss a study predicting Earth's groundwater may become undrinkable for half a billion people by 2100 nearly one out of four people depend on groundwater which is pumped from below the surface of the Earth for survival since they lack access to streams dams and freshwater lakes however by the end of this Century tens to hundreds of millions are likely to be deprived of this groundwater as rising temperatures are likely to make it toxic and undrinkable the findings were based on the global scale model of heat transport developed by an international team of researchers to measure how the temperature would change in groundwater sources across the world under different warming conditions according to this study around 590 million people are likely to rely on water sources which may not meet the strictest standards for potable water till 2100 a lot of focus on climate change has rightfully been to do with weather events and the availability of water said hydrologist Dylan Irvine from Charles Darwin University in Australia as quoted by science alert he added but we do need to think more broadly about the Imp impact that climate change will have on groundwater the warming of groundwater and its catastrophic consequences have been ignored for years the water trapped within porous rocks can be filled with dissolved minerals pollutants and potential pathogens if this water is heated by a degree or two it can take away oxygen from the environment and lead to the growth of dangerous bacteria it can also cause the dissolution of excessive con concentrations of heavy metals like manganese or arsenic a geoscientist at the Carl's ruer Institute of Technology in Germany and the studies's lead author Suzanne Ben said there are already about 30 million people living in regions where the groundwater is warmer than stipulated in the strictest drinking water guidelines he added that means it may not be safe to drink the water there without treatment it may need to be boiled first for example the drinking water also gets warmed up in water pipes by heat in the ground even in populations which have sufficiently sized surface reservoirs the heated groundwater's discharges can cause an alteration of key Dynamics which keep its water safe for human consumption in the wake of the shared socioeconomic pathway the current figures can double with 188 million people living in an area in which the groundwater is not meeting the strictest of standards for drinkability by 2100 that's all from this podcast thanks for tuning in if you enjoyed this episode be sure to subscribe and share your thoughts in the comments stay connected for more exciting discussions and updates in our next video
