CNN —A new promotional video by tech giant Apple has been met with heavy criticism in Thailand, with many social media users claiming it offers an unrealistic, outdated view of the country. The plot follows four characters – known as the underdogs – and their attempts to overcome workplace crises using Apple devices and software. Since the series’ debut in 2019, the characters have left their corporate jobs and founded their own company. It’s fine,” wrote Thai social media user Sakchawit Attasillekha on Facebook, pointing out there are “plenty of old hotels in Bangkok” and “old taxis decorated with Buddha amulets.”“However, we also have good things too,” he added. Sombat Boonngamanong, a prominent social activist, also weighed in on Facebook saying that he was surprised the video had caused such a stir.

CNN —One person was killed and three others were injured at Cambodia’s famed centuries-old Angkor temple complex when a large tree was blown down onto their vehicle during a fierce rainstorm, the government said Wednesday. Police respond after a storm toppled a tree, killing one person and damaging statues at the Angkor archaeological site in Siem Reap, Cambodia, on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. Thmey Thmey Online News/APSeveral statues on the balustrade of what is called Tonle Oum Gate were also damaged by the falling tree, the statement said.

☆ Thousands, Some in Trance, Pay Homage to Sacred Thai Tattoo Master

The gathering at Wat Bang Phra Buddhist temple is part of a Thai Wai Khru ritual where devotees pay homage to Luang Phor Pern, the temple's formal abbot, who died in 2002. He had a reputation for refining and popularizing the temple's Sak Yant tattoo style. The idea that tattoos confer magical powers has existed in many parts of Asia for thousands of years. The tattoos' magical power were on display during the ceremony where some devotees were in a trance state, or were shouting, running and had to be held back. "I was almost shot once, but the bullet didn't come out," he said, adding that the incident made him a believer of the tattoo's magical power.

The hospital, the largest still functioning in southern Gaza, is in an area of the city where intense fighting is taking place between Israeli forces and Hamas militants, making it too dangerous for patients or even ambulances to pass. "We now function as an ambulance field point in central Khan Younis," said paramedic Nassim Hassan, who heads the emergency unit at Nasser Hospital. With no immediate prospect of getting new supplies from any hospital storeroom, Hassan was concerned about running out of essentials. "This medical point was created after the siege of hospitals, including Nasser Hospital and Al-Amal Hospital, and the hard access to them under the current events," said Abu al-Kass. Hassan and his colleagues from ambulance crews acting as mobile clinics have carried patients into the tent, and dead bodies out.

☆ UK startup Helixx leans on Siemens to design EV 'factory in a box'

LONDON, June 19 (Reuters) - UK startup Helixx said on Monday it will use Siemens' (SIEGn.DE) open digital platform to help design a highly-automated 'factory in a box' that can be built anywhere to assemble smaller, low-cost electric vehicles (EVs), initially for large Asian cities. The 'digital twin' technology provided by the Siemens Xcelerator will help Helixx design the factory and plan supply chain requirements, Helixx and Siemens said. Some EV startups have turned to contract manufacturers, as Fisker has done with Magna and Foxconn, but the concept of providing a factory and "white label" EV designs for clients is new. "We have reimagined the way the vehicles go together so you can get a factory producing vehicles anywhere in the world, just like a McDonald's franchise," Pegg said. So far Helixx has raised about 1 million pounds ($1.3 million) and Pegg said building its prototype fleet will require around 3 million pounds.

IPRE, ca institut de cercetare, se preocupă de subiectul dezinformării și împreună cu colegii este implicați în combaterea falsurilor, deseori înlocuind activitatea autorităților competente care trebuie să se ocupe de acest domeniu. Există și surse media, și eforturi prin care se încearcă combaterea falsurilor în media. IPRE își propune să aibă mai multe ateliere de lucru pentru a abilita tinerii și a multiplica efortul de dezinformare.

Anghelina Gaidarji: Vorbitorii de rusă și oamenii din localități mai mici sunt mai vulnerabili în fața știrilor falseVorbitorii de limbă rusă din Republica Moldova cred în special în informațiile difuzate de canalele TV din Federația Rusă.

Jurnalista a spus că vorbitorii de limbă rusă votează alte formațiuni politice, comparativ cu vorbitorii de română, și asta se întâmplă pentru că vorbitorii de rusă privesc posturile TV și citesc presa scrisă, care aparțin unui anumit grup politic.
