The Lebanese journalist, George Qirdahi, responded to a number of Lebanese artists who called on him to resign from the position of the Lebanese Ministry of Information in the previous period, due to his dispute with Saudi Arabia.

During his stay as a guest on the “Secret Ink” program presented by the Egyptian media, Asma Ibrahim, George responded to the presenter’s question about the attack he was subjected to by Lebanese artists, such as Elissa, Ragheb Alama and Nawal Al Zoghbi.

George said, “They are known to have an interest. They spoke against their conscience and their dignity regarding my resignation,” continuing, “My dignity is not my personal dignity, but rather the dignity of my country, so they cannot defend their dignity by asking me to resign.”

Qirdahi indicated that in this way they are defending their interest, and he said, “They have an interest with the Entertainment Authority. We want concerts in Saudi Arabia and Riyadh festivals.”

The Lebanese journalist added, “When I resigned, I told them that my brothers in Saudi Arabia might be upset with me for a word I said, but believe me, they are upset with me, but they respect me, but you take money from them, but they don’t respect you.”

Seoul launches its first driverless bus

by archyde

Seoul launched its first line of self-driving buses on Friday, part of a trial that engineers who designed it say aims to make the public more confident about driverless vehicles.

The new vehicle doesn’t look like a regular bus: it’s entirely symmetrical, with rounded edges and large windows that make it look more like a toy than a state-of-the-art form of transport.

An intentional design, according to Jeong Seong-gyun, head of self-driving at 42 Dot, the start-up – now owned by South Korean company Hyundai – that created the self-driving technology featured here.

“It’s the future,” he told AFP, adding that as a result, “a remarkable new type of design was needed”.

The bus looks a bit “like a Lego” because it was made from composite parts to cut costs and make it easy to replicate, he explains.

“We want to foster the era of autonomous driving,” he said, noting that the company’s goal was to make the technology inexpensive, safer and easily transferable to many different types of vehicles. , such as delivery trucks.

For the moment placed under the close vigilance of a driver, the new bus will drive itself on a new route, a small circuit of 3.4 kilometers around the city center of the capital of South Korea, a duration of approximately 20 minutes.

People can board at any of two designated stops after reserving a free seat through an app.

To move, the bus uses a camera and radar, not expensive sensors, Jeong said.

On the day of the launch, Friday, many passers-by seemed intrigued by the design of the bus, stopping to photograph it and peer inside, or asking questions of nearby 42 Dot staff.

“I feel like I jumped into a machine to travel to the future,” comments Kim Yi hae-ran, 68, after his journey.

She happened to meet a doctor who had just gotten off the night shift. Because she was very sleepy taking care of patients all night, she originally wanted to close her eyes and rest. After a while, the grandmother in the front seat suddenly stood up and stomped her feet. It seemed that her legs were uncomfortable. Later, when she got to the station, she was about to get off, but she seemed to be walking unsteadily.

The doctor hurriedly stepped forward to help and care, and learned that in addition to the numbness in her legs, she also had numbness and weakness in the left arm, hand, and face. She was even more sure that the old man’s condition was a stroke. She notified her family immediately and stopped a car.

The next morning, when the doctor went to work for a ward round, he met Grandma, who held her hand tightly and thanked her, “If I hadn’t met such a good doctor who is so enthusiastic and loving, I still don’t know what it would have been like…”. Facing the gratitude of the elderly and their families, she admitted that she could help others, and she was actually very happy.
