The US had its hottest month ever, two-thirds of England is in severe drought after its driest July on record, China's largest desert flooded, Europe's rivers hit lows visible from space, ocean temperatures peaked globally in June and July, Japan was hit with record-breaking rainfall that killed six, and France had its worst wildfires ever. And a meteorologist warns the gathering super El Niño could be the strongest in 500 to 1,000 years.🚢 A NEW ERA OF TRADE: THE ARCTIC ROUTE OPENSA huge deal. For the first time in history the Arctic shipping route is open, and a 35,000-ton Chinese vessel is becoming the first scheduled cargo ship ever to use it. We get into how this shortcut could halve the 40-day Suez route and save billions, why melting ice opened it a decade early, the disputed-waters problem with Russia, and why China and Russia are currently the only ones able to use it.🕷️ RUSSIA'S "BLACK WIDOWS"One of the craziest stories we've heard in a while. A terrifying trend in Russia where women marry soldiers just to ship them to the front lines and cash in on the state death compensation, cutting off the man's own family as next of kin. We cover the nurse who allegedly married five dying soldiers in her care, the daughter who found out her father secretly married a stranger before deployment, and the law changes now being pushed.📡 WIFI CAN NOW IDENTIFY EXACTLY WHO YOU AREScientists have found a way to identify specifically who is home using ordinary Wi-Fi routers, with nearly 100% accuracy. We break down how it works, how your body disrupts the signals bouncing around your house, how an AI learned to tell 197 individuals apart by their movement alone, and why your home network could quietly become a powerful surveillance tool.🤖 THE DYSTOPIAN "CHATGPT MUR**R"A deeply disturbing case. A 17-year-old in Massachusetts is charged with murd***** his mother and 14-year-old brother, and prosecutors say he used ChatGPT to help plan it by framing it as "Gothic novel" fantasy stories to get around the guardrails. We're careful to note authorities have not said AI caused this or gave him a plan, but that they see it as evidence of premeditation and a broader pattern of concerning behaviour.⚖️ DICTATOR SENTENCED TO DEATH (BUT THEY CAN'T KILL HIM)One of the most infamous dictators of the 21st century has been sentenced to death. Former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was found guilty of crimes against humanity, torture and using chemical weapons, with around half a million dead under a regime his family ran for nearly 50 years. But he fled to Russia, and we get into why he may never actually face the sentence.❄️ WHY IS HAALAND'S FACE ON 469KG OF COCAINE?Erling, something to tell us? Police in Ecuador arrested a driver near the Colombian border transporting hundreds of green bricks of cocaine, all printed with Haaland's face. We get into the wild reason why, how traffickers use public figures to label which network produced the drug and who it belongs to, and the "Haaland cartel" cooking in his name.0:00 Intro0:37 The World's Insane Weather3:30 Arctic Shipping Route is Open6:45 Russia's Black Widows10:06 WiFi Can See You12:25 Bad Gmail14:28 The "ChatGPT Murder"16:24 Dictator Sentenced to Death17:40 Peasant Whispers18:06 Haaland Cocaine Learn more about your ad choices.
