00:01The Netherlands will not participate in 2027's Eurovision Song Contest after all.
00:08NPO, the umbrella organization for public broadcasters in the country,
00:12has reversed its earlier decision to return to the contest,
00:16after Dutch public broadcaster Avratos had announced in August that it would not take part
00:22because of Israel's presence in the lineup.
00:24The decision to return to the competition was met with widespread criticism
00:29and around 400 NPO employees signed a letter urging the organization to reconsider its participation.
00:37In a statement, NPO's director, Jet Duranyits, said NPO was unable to secure a broadcaster who would send a Dutch
00:44artist.
00:45NPO will still broadcast the event.
00:48Eurovision director Martin Green said he was deeply sorry that the Netherlands would not take part,
00:54but added that we understand their decision and we respect the strength of feeling behind it.
01:03A mood for a change of government, parents raising children with serious illnesses and ballet dancers,
01:09these were among the subjects that most captured the attention of Hungarian photojournalists in 2025.
01:16The 44th Hungarian press photo exhibition opened on Wednesday in Budapest.
01:21More than 6,200 entries were submitted by the 258 photographers to the competition.
01:27The exhibition features not only the first three prize-winning works in each of the 16 categories
01:33and the special award winners,
01:35but also photographs that the jury considered particularly important or compelling.
01:40Nálunk akkor se lehet kiretusálni egy képet, ha mondjuk valamelyik politikuson egy pattanás van.
01:48Nem szabad kiretusálni.
01:49Tehát abban a pillanatban az egy beavatkozásnak számít,
01:53és abban a pillanatban a versenyből kiesik a kép.
01:56Ettől még lejöhet bármelyik labba, az nem a mi a felelősségünk,
01:59a mi felelősségünk az,
02:01hogy ma, amikor a legnagyobb ára és hitele van annak,
02:07hogy egy kép valóságos,
02:10akkor nekünk erre nagyon kell vigyázni.
02:14This year's Moors Grand Prize went to freelance photographer Diana Neme for her series Nimrod,
02:20while the Andre Kathez Grand Prize was awarded to Noemi Napsugar-Meileg,
02:25a photographer with the Hungarian news website Telex.
02:29Noemi's most prestigious award came from documenting a personal tragedy.
02:34Following the death of her 18-year-old younger brother,
02:37she spent years photographing her grieving family and his former classmates.
03:23The exhibition can be visited at the Kappa Center until November 8th.
03:27This year, unusually, a traveling version of the exhibition is also touring Hungary.

03:55I think it's strange that the two sides are quite important, but it's a very important one.
04:04It's made of dark stars, so it's hard to think about it.
04:10It's hard to think about it.
05:01It's hard to think about it.
05:18I didn't really start being seriously concerned about the existential threat of AI taking over until about 2023, but I've
05:26said a lot about it, and I guess I've maintained my view that there's a significant chance it'll happen unless
05:35we do something serious to prevent it.
05:37What's changed a bit is my view about when AI will get more super intelligent than us.
05:43I used to think 30 to 50 years, and now I think 5 to 10 years.
05:47Maybe it'll be longer, but every expert I know who thinks that AI will get smarter than us is reducing
05:56the length of time they think it'll take before that happens.
05:58When they get smarter than us, we've got to make them so they care more about us than they do
06:03about themselves.
06:04If we don't do that, I don't see there's any way we can share the planet with them.
06:08We're now creating alien beings, but this is the first time, perhaps the first time ever, that we have beings
06:16by design.
06:17We came from evolution, but we're designing these things, and we ought to put a lot of effort into the
06:24qualities they have other than their intelligence.
06:27We should be putting as much effort into making them nice, and by nice I mean caring about us, compassionate
06:34towards people, as we are into making them intelligent, and we're not.
06:44I quite like the fact that in Terminator, Terminator actually used neural networks.
06:49That was at a time when neural networks weren't popular in computer science.
06:54They were regarded as kind of passé, and they'd never work.
06:57I also like the fact that in Terminator, Cameron realised they'd be able to mimic voices extremely accurately.
07:03He had a lot of foresight, Cameron.

07:27Flying in space, the biggest difference is that you're suddenly, magically weightless.
07:33So it's like someone just gave you a superpower.
07:36someone tapped you on the head and said fly and now you can fly and so the first
07:42reaction on all the crews that I've been on is laughter because if you shut off
07:47gravity right now you'd burst out laughing it's just so different and
07:51wonderful but then you float to the window and that combination of the magic
07:55of weightlessness and a brand new amazingly informative and beautiful
08:00perspective of the world it is an intoxicatingly great experience to fly
08:05in space the view it actually makes you forget the body you just become this
08:10set of eyes staring out at creation as it actually is and it's kind of amazing if
08:14you think about it in history two of the most amazing things we've made are lenses
08:18to see the really small and lenses to see the really big and you can now go to
08:22space and see you know the entire planet I got to see in one gaze without an
08:27instrument to look out and see it as it is the view is really what creates the
08:31lasting feelings to look out the window and see the commonality of the human
08:38experience this sudden unmistakable realization that we all want the same
08:45thing we're all fighting the same battles we we want joy and laughter and grace and
08:50a little nicer world for our children and to see the entire population of the
08:56world every single day is immensely unifying and also hugely optimism building
09:07I'm a huge fan of the right stuff because the story is amazing the book is
09:13amazing Tom Wolfe made a great contribution to literature but the movie
09:16they made after that I felt I lived so many of those my wife and I moved into
09:20Edwards Air Force Base and had that exact scene when you turn on the bathtub and
09:24what came out was didn't want you to you didn't want to put your body in that but
09:28that just the connection how I felt so far from that but then also in the moment
09:32so connected to it that that was to me one of those that I think really got it
09:36right I think my favorite of all is 2001 A Space Odyssey just because it blew my
09:43mind when I was nine years old or eight years old and every time I watch it it
09:47still can I still don't know what that movie is about but the lovely artwork of
09:51Arthur C Clarke at Stanley Kubrick working together to just push the very
09:55edges of what we could even try and comprehend that's what exploration is all
09:59about and I just love the artistic way that that movie was put together
10:09humans do best when there's competition that's why we have the Olympics if we
10:14didn't have the Olympics you know the edge of human performance would never be
10:19pushed would never be understood and it wouldn't inspire people and it's just how
10:24we are by nature we're imperfect though and but we're also still here after
10:30whatever half a million years of homo sapiens being alive and it's always been
10:35flawed and and we do things badly but we have also built the pyramids and
10:40Stonehenge and the Sistine Chapel and and magnificence of art and music around
10:46ourselves and a lot of that just comes from the flawed nature of who we are I
10:51think an aspect of human space exploration that will continue to be a
10:55reality for America and our partners is that it will be an international
10:59partnership there's a whole other aspect of this competition that I really love
11:03though purely love it is the collaboration between the public sector and the
11:08private sector and so we actually have competition amongst companies intuitive
11:12machines everybody knows SpaceX and Blue Origin but there's companies like
11:15relativity and and intuitive machines that are making contributions that are
11:18going to help us not only get to the moon but to stay there sustainably and
11:22responsibly and so I think that competitive nature it also highlights the
11:26collaborative nature and I think because we are weaving it all together it
11:31gives me a lot of hope about the future space exploration
