AI.
I think that's a pretty fair analysis and certainly the way it's felt here.
When you consider that the Chinese government's saying, look, we need more regulation of this and Donald Trump, who thinks that AI is gonna somehow catapult his country ahead of China and maintain its position in the world as economic leader, well he thinks if you do anything to rein it back in any way, then it can hamper these
US companies which are developing AI.
But following that the huge story we had yesterday that the Australian government has claimed that AI has hacked a major government department, the one responsible for all the health insurance of Australians, I mean it's huge.

Global News Podcast · Two men rescued from tunnel in Nepal, nine days after flood · 4 Sep 2026
podcast
Imagine what a shot in the arm this is for rescue teams on the Nepal side of the border.
We're into day ten of this emergency.

And then to have pulled these two workers out alive, I mean, you know, I think it would give them all
energy to charge on and keep going and actually look for others because officials are saying that maybe there are as many as forty workers in that particular part of the hydropower network, but they are seem to be hopeful that they can find others later today.
I mean remarkably to reach those workers who've come out today, they've been pumping air in and cameras, but it was just
Just the old fashioned call down the tunnel.
Is anyone in there?
