00:05Η καταδόνη είναι σαντουρινή.
00:06Μέχρι να βγαίνησα γιατί γιατί γιατί 2-3 χρόνια και οι άμασοδελείς δεν θα μιλήσει να μιλήσει.
00:11Πιστεύω να μιλήσω για εδώ, θα μιλήσουν για εδώ για την επομένα.

00:53But first, Laila Humaira is off to the races to take a different kind of spin on the track
00:58in search of the fastest energy-efficient vehicle.
01:02Zobaydah Al-Tamimi is all suited up and ready to race.
01:07A sophomore at the University of Doha for Science and Technology,
01:11Zobaydah is the driver and team leader of Wolves Racing EV1,
01:15one of a few dozen teams competing in the Shell Eco-Marathon for Asia Pacific and Middle East.
01:21We had to build a motor controller by our own.
01:25Some people take years of experience to build that motor controller.
01:29For us, only four months with a couple of research, with the doctor's help, we were able to do it.
01:34So we were like running the furthest with least amount of energy.
01:38She's the only one who has competed in the event before,
01:41representing her school and country in Indonesia for last year's edition.
01:45And coming back this time, it was extra special, racing on home turf.
01:51While the Lusail International Circuit is more familiar with the thrilling speeds of Formula 1 cars,
01:56this time the track is hosting the first-ever edition of the Shell Eco-Marathon held in the Middle East.
02:02They may not go as fast, but these cars are designed and built from scratch.
02:07The aim is to clock the fastest time with the most energy-efficient vehicle.
02:11And that process is so rigorous that for many of the teams competing,
02:15getting the car on the track is a win on its own.
02:19Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Shell Eco-Marathon means it's four decades of giving the changemakers of tomorrow
02:26an opportunity to build the world's most energy-efficient cars and to further their STEM education.
02:32And for the students, it is a constant way of learning.
02:36They apply their knowledge, their ingenuity, their creativity to an amazing project that is part of their curriculum.
02:43As a team, the aspiring engineers decide between two main vehicle models to build,
02:48giving them plenty of opportunities to innovate and be creative.
02:52So in Shell Eco-Marathon, if you want to participate, you have to pick a category.
02:57That could be Urban Concept, which is a vehicle that looks like a small city car.
03:01So it has four wheels, it has lights, blinkers, even a windscreen.
03:07The other category is called Prototype.
03:09And the vehicles that belong to this category are like a small mini rocket.
03:15They normally have three wheels, they're extremely light,
03:18and these vehicles are those that are really going for the world records.
03:22Not only is the competition robust,
03:24the technical scrutiny each car or prototype goes through
03:27is strict and conducted in line with industry-wide standards.
03:32Technical inspection is probably the heart of the competition before the vehicles go on track.
03:37We do check the length and the size of the car.
03:40We do check its weight and if it has enough visibility,
03:43if it has a horn so that the students can advise other competitors on track that they are overtaking.
03:50Beyond the racing and mechanics,
03:52Shell Eco-Marathon also aims to foster camaraderie and friendship between young engineers from all over the world,
04:00further bolstering international collaboration and exchanging ideas.
04:05Win or lose, everyone stands a chance to gain a memorable experience from the Shell Eco-Marathon,
04:11just like I did, taking a spin in a vehicle of a previous competition winner
04:16around the Lucille International Circuit.
04:21Carmelo Anthony is a ten-time NBA all-star and three-time Olympic gold medalist
04:26and will enter the Hall of Fame this year, the Holy Grail of basketball elites.
04:30During his 19-year career, Carmelo is one of the most prolific scorers of his generation
04:35and currently ranks 10th all-time in NBA scoring.
04:38In his new role as FIBA's global ambassador, Carmelo hopes to grow the game internationally
04:43and with two years left until Qatar hosts the 2027 Basketball World Cup,
04:47the Hall of Famer arrived in Doha to kick off the festivities.
04:51Respect.
04:52Melo, welcome to Doha.
04:54Nice to meet you.
05:00From hoodie Melo to Hall of Fame Melo,
05:03your name is now cemented in history alongside the greats like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
05:07These are international names that people know, and now people know Melo.
05:12You're in that stratosphere.
05:13I think those names that you just mentioned were guys that took advantage of the opportunity
05:21to go international, go global.
05:26Michael did it, you know, kind of 92, kind of established, you know,
05:30what the USA basketball, on the world stage.
05:34and somebody like Kobe was somebody who was constantly went overseas, traveled overseas,
05:40built his international community, his fan base.
05:44You know, they left the door open for somebody else, and I took the opportunity.
05:49Now the world saw Melo in a thoe.
05:51Yeah, yeah, big time.
05:52But that's organic.
05:54They understand, you know, what that means to me.
05:58Yeah, and it's an opportunity for me to continue to spread and, you know,
06:03get my global game more.
06:05What can fans expect what's to come in 2027 here in Qatar?
06:08Yeah, I think the fans are going to see it.
06:10I think they, you know, they want to know what's, what it is.
06:13I think Qatar would do a job of delivering an experience that people haven't had in a long time,
06:19and for me to be a part of that, and showing the rest of the world,
06:22and even showing, you know, back where we're at in America,
06:26that it's not just about America.
06:29You know, it's other places, other regions around the world
06:32who's actually taking the seeds that, you know,
06:36America's planted and growing them globally now.
06:38So we're seeing those seeds blossom now.
06:42Now we all know Hall of Fame Carmelo Anthony,
06:44but Young Melo's journey was anything but easy.
06:47You know, take us back to the early days in Red Hook,
06:50Brooklyn, and then eventually Baltimore.
06:52So it was very difficult kind of navigating those walls
06:56and navigating that world.
06:58I'll take my hat off to my mom for, you know,
07:02it was always, we're going to be all right, we're going to be okay,
07:05we're going to figure it out.
07:06And she always did, so that, you know,
07:08those morals and standards that was instilled to me at an early age,
07:12they were never going to work.
07:13So when you come out of that, you have a different understanding
07:15of what it means to go through or live in situations like that
07:19or go through daily occurrences.
07:21So that part of my life has really jump-started
07:25and made me understand why I'm here today.
07:28You recently gave a commencement speech at Syracuse
07:31where you won a national championship,
07:32your son is going to go in the fall.
07:34Just take us through what you wanted to relate to that class.
07:37I've been here before.
07:39I've walked in those shoes, but it's your time now
07:42because now you are going on to whatever is next, right?
07:46And you're not going to have it figured out.
07:48You're not going to understand it.
07:49You're not going to know it.
07:50But don't let nobody keep you in the box.
07:52Don't just, you know, get stuck on one experience,
07:55go through the journey, and you're still young, right?
07:59So don't box yourself in at 20 years old, 21 years old
08:04because you will have multiple paths
08:06and multiple kind of experiences in life.
08:11The FIBA Basketball World Cup is an exciting event
08:14for us to look forward to.
08:16But now let's head to the Doha Film Institute's
08:18flagship talent incubator.
08:21Kumra brings together more than 250 film industry professionals
08:24from over 50 countries to mentor emerging filmmakers,
08:28making it the largest and most diverse gathering to date.
08:31I went to check it out.
08:34Jamal Alkanji is producing his first feature-length documentary.
08:38But the first-time Qatari filmmaker
08:40is no stranger to high-pressure situations.
08:43As a cardiac surgeon for more than a decade,
08:45he's used to calling the shots.
08:47Still, participating in the Doha Film Institute's
08:50Kumra Mentorship Program has been invaluable.
08:53It's been amazing.
08:55I mean, I wouldn't have dreamed to be where I am today
08:57if it was not for Doha Film Institute.
08:59They've been supportive.
09:00They nourished us.
09:01They loved the idea from the beginning.
09:02They supported it financially and with expertise.
09:05This year's edition of Kumra features 27 feature-length films,
09:0910 series, and 12 short films
09:12at different stages of development, production, and post-production.
09:16Jamal's film about spearfishing is a passion project,
09:19currently in early post-production.
09:21It's a wonderful opportunity, really, for me as a Qatari director
09:25because I think these platforms give us the opportunity
09:28to basically tell our stories
09:30and to show that this region can produce different stories as well,
09:34away from the kind of stereotypical kind of stories
09:36that are associated from the region.
09:38The Film Institute's CEO agrees and says Kumra
09:41has given emerging regional filmmakers the confidence
09:44to tell their stories to the world.
09:47A safe space where they can come, share their projects,
09:50share their thoughts and stories
09:51with industry from literally from all over the globe
09:54where they can be discovered, where they can be supported
09:57in different stages of their films.
10:00From the global south to the global stage,
10:03Kumra builds on the Doha Film Institute's commitment
10:06to supporting underrepresented storytellers,
10:09especially from Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
10:13Of the 49 selected projects, 16 are from Qatar,
10:16which the DFI says showcases the growth in the country's film industry.
10:21That growth is assisted by international film industry experts.
10:24Hong Kong filmmaking legend, Johnny Toh,
10:28who didn't go to film school himself,
10:30came to Doha to deliver a masterclass.
10:32I always tell the young people,
10:35you have to finish your script first.
10:38I cannot tell you what is the good way to like me.
10:43I only tell you go the normal way.
10:45I have a very long experience to shooting on set many, many years.
10:51You can change it when you shoot,
10:54but you must, where you shoot,
10:56what are you talking about?
10:59The goal of the Talent Incubator
11:01is to help develop new voices in Arab and global cinema.
11:05Qatari filmmaker Maryam Al-Mohamed
11:06hopes to spark conversations
11:08by amplifying underrepresented voices.
11:11The 20-year-old received the DFI Production Grant
11:14and says events like Kumra
11:16really open doors for filmmakers like herself.
11:19A lot of people come from around the world
11:21and very, very important people.
11:24So it's one of the only events
11:26where you can really interact with these people face-to-face
11:29and one-on-one.
11:31And we've been getting a lot of knowledge and experience.
11:34From aspiring engineers
11:39to emerging filmmakers
11:41with a Basketball Hall of Famer
11:43sharing some gems along the way,
11:45we hope you enjoyed this episode.
11:46But that's all the time we have for now.
