AI Glasses for Dementia: One Good Story Today | On Edge News | Gershy Schwarcz

Your daily report of the news of the last 24 hours powered by 24 provided to you by the click Friday on edge. My name is Ghart and I will be your host on edge. So while you're busy cleaning for PES, the world apparently decided this was a good week to completely fall apart. America and Israel are both bombing Iran as we speak. America is planning to take over an Iranian island. Denmark nearly blew up its own airport to stop America from landing there and a missile, a ballistic missile from Iran landed in. Not a joke, my friend. Clear footage of it. We're seeing it in front of our own eyes. And to end on a high note, scientists in Britain invented something amazing for people with Alzheimer's and dementia. Wait until the end. Lots lots has happened. So, let us walk through it together slowly because we could all use a breath right now. But speaking of taking a breath right now, Montreal Matza Beckaray 7186193661 or go on to Montrealmata.com. This is the matzah you want best, most healthiest matzah. They have regular matzah, they have spelt matzah, um extra thin matzah, and they also have whole wheat. And they also have, did I list all of them? And oat mats, of course. 4320 14th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. You can stop by the pop-up shop and get yourself matas. Look over the pes. And as well, if you're thinking about your neighbors who don't or can't afford it, buy them a box of matzah. Buy them a few boxes of matzah at Montreal Matza Baker because not only will you do them a mitzvah, a kindness, but you also do the extra of giving them something light, something easy to digest. Nothing better to do. I mean, this is nothing better than to do on that level. That's what I meant to say. Okay. In less than 3 weeks, more than 16,000 strikes have hit targets inside Iran. About 8,500 of those came from Israel and counting nearly 80 7,800 came from the United States. Together they have destroyed damaged more than 120 Iranian ships and more than 130 military and energy sites across the country and counting. And it is not slowing down. The war is not over, my friends. The United States military is now preparing for a possible move to take control of Kar Island. We mentioned it before. Car Island is a small Iranian outpost in the Persian Gulf. But it is not a small deal. About 90% of all Iranian oil exports pass through that island. It is effectively Iran's oil lifeline. The reason this is on the table, Iran has been threatening to close the straight of Ramuz, the narrow passage through which about a fifth of the world's oil normally travels through. And the American position is very clear. A senior administration official said directly he wants rumors open. If he if he has if he has to take Car Island to make it happen, that's going to happen. According to Trump, the current thinking inside the White House is roughly one more month of strikes to weaken the Iran further and then to take the island and use it as a negotiating tool. Three large Marine forces, about 2500 troops each, are already on their way to the region. The Pentagon is considering whether to send even more. Last Friday, American forces launched heavy strikes on dozens of military targets on Kag Island itself. Trump told reporters that the oil facilities in the island were deliberately not hit because rebuilding them would take years. No final decision has been made on a ground operation, but Pentagon lawyers have been consulted and Senator Tom Cotton said Trump was right not to rule it out. Israel has also escalated sharply. Israel struck Iran's South P gas field um yesterday, two days ago, one of the largest natural gas operations in the world shared with Qatar. Qatar is a small but very wealthy Arab country in the Persian Gulf that supplies a large part of the world's natural gas. In case you didn't know, that strike knocked out close to 1ifth of Qatar's gas export capacity. The damage could take years to repair. Israel also launched new strikes on the Iranian capital Tehran with explosions reported in Tehran itself overnight and in the cities of Parchin, Kerman, Arak and also Bander al Len Leen whatever I think Bander al Bander le Langier Bander Lenier is a commercial port in southern Iran. 16 Iranian merchant ships were destroyed in what Iranian state media describes as a joint American Israeli strike. Iran's IRGC spokesperson was also killed. Many others overnight. We will talk about them soon. At least 130 infrastructure sites were damaged. Iranian naval vessels on the Caspian Sea were also struck by Israelis yesterday. Netanyahu acknowledged that that Israel acted alone in the South P strike, but he said he would follow Trump's request not to do that kind of strike ever again. Netanyahu also raised the possibility of sending ground forces into Iran as part of the campaign. as he answered reporters. Trump has originally hoped to have the conflict wrapped up before a planned a trip to China at the end of March. Well, it's the end of March almost and that trip has now been cancelled. Iran has responded with one. Well, it's not the end of March. It's the middle of March. It's 20. It's March 20 now. Iran has responded with one of the largest drone attacks in the region the region has ever seen. Thousands of shaheda drones, small ones, small one explo oneway explosive aircrafts were launched towards military and civilian targets across the Gulf. Baharin, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates where Dubai is all confirmed Iranian attacks Thursday night and into Friday morning. The US Cam shot them down, most of them, as you can see. Unbelievable. Anyway, he described Iran's decision to target um sorry, the the Saudi Arab Arabia's foreign minister, Prince Fil bin Farhan, responded very sharply. He described Iran's decision to target Riyad while Arab foreign ministers were sitting in a meeting together as well, and these were his exact words, the clearest signal of how Iran feels about diplomacy. Saudi Arabia is now threatening direct military action against Iran. Listen to this is this is a new escalation in the war. By the way, Iran's foreign minister Abbasaraki posted a warning of his own online and he said, "Our response to Israel's attack on our infrastructure employed a fraction of our power. The only reason for restraint was respect for requested deescalation. Zero restraint in our infrastructure are struck again." He means to say that basically you didn't you you didn't hurt us much by killing most of our leadership and well crippling our economy and of course hitting very important key sites and obliterating the entire ballistic missile operation. The speaker of the Iranian parliament Muhammad Bakir um Khalibah is using the tora the Torah to rally his people. Listen to this. He said America and Israel view all of them as amuik amalake. He warned that Israel wants to Gaza them off the face of the earth. The prime minister of Spain, Pedro Sanhe, openly stated that he cannot support the war with and and stands with Gaza and Iran. He says he hates he literally said that he dislikes and hates the Zionist regime, claiming he is receiving letters from all over the world praising his position. After openly admitting not too long ago that they have no way to defend themselves, comes a war. Right. Switzerland is officially stopping all weapons shipments to the United States. They announced this today. Switzerland has very strict laws about staying neutral in wars. Because America is now in a direct arm fight with Iran, Swiss law says they cannot sell weapons to either side. Last year, America bought about $100 million worth of military equipment from Switzerland. Now, no new no new weapons will be sent as long as the fighting lasts. I think Switzerland will have bigger problems to worry about than Trump crossing an Alps ski trip off his bucket list. The president of Turkey, Reip Edan, I hope I pronounced his name right, who cares, gave an angry speech today. >> Anyway, he said because of the war, Israel limited the number of people allowed to pray at the Al Axa mosque on Harabas. Right. Ederan told his followers that Israel is lying about needing security. He said the real plan is for Israel to completely take over the site Arabis. He then warned the Islamic world that the Jews and it's time he actually referred to them as plain the Jews will not stop at Shalam. He claimed that if they take the mosque they will come next for Mecca. Mecca is the holiest city in Islam which is located in Saudi Arabia. He told Muslims that they must unite and said they will not let the Jews take over. And there is here is the question that is now being asked seriously in intelligence circles around the world. Who actually is running Iran right now? Israel strikes have killed so many top leaders in Iran that the chain of command is no longer clear. It is unknown who gives the orders or who controls the military. In a strike in a single strike on the city of Isvahan, Israel killed three CN figures at the same time overnight. Brigadier General Ali Muhammad Naini the spokesperson was killed. Ismael Ahmedi Mogadam Mogadam I think Mogadam the intelligence chief and deputy commander of the besiege forces and Mai Gorishi gives you something a senior commander within the RGC aerospace force and as well brigade of general Kavos deeri a special forces commander in the far province promotions in an Iranian mil in the Iranian military are moving at breakneck speed huh anyway your strial also got hit or looks like it went through the third world war something else. Nobody will judge you if your striml goes to striml renew. Strimml renew. What's striml renew? We all know 7325231559. Again, call striml renew on 7325231559. Get your striml renewed in time for pesak. There's still 2 weeks before pesak. They come all over the tri-state area, pick it up for free, deliver it back to you like a brand new striml for free. Now, this is now a direct problem for Washington. What we spoke about before, Trump's team has been working towards a diplomatic solution, an offramp to end the fighting. But that requires a functioning Iranian government that can even negotiate and follow through on agreements. When there is no one clearly in charge on the other side, it becomes very hard to make a deal. And analysts are warning that a leadership vacuum can be can be just as dangerous as a hostile leadership because there may be no one with the authority to stop the wrong decision from being made. A report published overnight described the recovery of bodies from an underground tunnel system in Iran used by the Iranian air and space forces. The tunnels entrance where where they keep all their drones and stuff. The tunnels entrances exits and ventilation systems had all been struck in the attack. The men inside had no way out. They called for rescue by radio multiple times, but nobody came to their rescue. The last transmission, their last transmission were prayers. Separately, an attack on the bases militia checkpoints in the city of Tre killed 13 members and wounded 18 others. Until now, checkpoints uh checkpoint attacks have been concentrated in Thran. This is the first sign they are spreading to major cities far from the capital. The commander of the IRGC cuts force, Ismael Khani, has apparently returned from the dead again. I'm not sure exactly what happened because I reported that he was dead several times actually. Despite multiple multiple reports that he had been eliminated, Iranian state media says he just put out a new statement warning of more surprises from their terrorist station. With nine lives, these monsters are unpredictable. What can I tell you? Iran is also working on a plan that would give it a different kind of control over the straight of Hermuz without physically closing it. Under this plan, Iran's Revolutionary Guard would be charging ships a massive toll to pass safely through the straight of Hermuz. Ships that receive clearance travel through a set route. Ships that do not receive clearance are turned back. Approved [ __ ] ships are paying up to $2 million just to get guaranteed safe transit underwater. This is unbelievable. The United States Justice Department is offering $10 million for information on five more senior Iranian leaders. The list includes current RGC commander Ahmed Vahidi and also the heads of the drone cyber and intelligence units. The US says informants could be eligible for the cash reward and relocation to safety. In Britain, two men believed to be Iranian intelligence operatives were arrested after allegedly trying to enter um fast lane. It's called fast lane. The Scottish naval base that houses Britain's entire nuclear submarine fleet, including its tri its Trident nuclear weapons program. British authorities have not released the men's names or confirmed exactly how far they got before being stopped. Prime Minister Benjamin Tao said that after 20 days of fighting that Iranians can no longer make the material needed to uh they don't have well material needed to build nuclear weapons and can no longer produce long range missiles. He also said a ground operation may be coming. He went he went even further and laid out what he sees happening after the war is over. He spoke about new pipelines running across the Arabian Peninsula. the large land mass that includes Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries all the way to Israel's ports on the Mediterranean Sea. That would mean the world could move oil and gas without ever needing to pass through the straight of Hermuz, a very different map than the one we have today. America's Secretary of War Pete Hexath said the campaign, well, the United States campaign, Operation Epic Fury, is winning decisively and on our terms. Three American warships quietly left San Diego yesterday after getting a green light from Britain that they can use their bases heading towards the Middle East. The Navy said publicly it was routine. A source said that is not the full story. The ships are carrying the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit and also that is a self-contained military force uh marine sailors aircraft and landing boats ready to go wherever they are needed fast. No destination or arrival date has been officially confirmed. Separately, the Trump government is pushing through an 8.5 billion dollar weapons package to several Gulf countries, moving it much faster than the usual process. The package includes fighter jets, missiles, and air defense systems. And it is one of the largest weapon deals in the region. Well, the region has even seen in years. I hope he's not he doesn't mean the F-35s to Turkey. The effect of this war are being felt in people's homes far from the Middle East. In Britain, investors are selling off government bonds, and the effect is landing directly on ordinary families. The rate on 10-year British government borrowing just hit its highest level since 2008. And when that number goes up, mortgage gets more expensive. Lenders are already pulling loan loan offers from the market. Experts say homeowners could see their monthly payments rise by around 100 a month. Energy bills also are going up. Forecasters say the rise in oil and gas prices will push a typical British household's annual energy bill up to by over £300 starting July. Airlines in Australia, Quantis, Jester, and Virgin have all raised the prices on flights because of the cost of jet fuel doubled in a single month. Workers are watching their costs go up and the savings go down at the same time. And the Australian government, somebody just announced that they don't have enough diesel. They ran out they ran out of diesel. Governments around the world are trying to bring oil prices down, but prices continue to rise. President Donald J. Trump strongly criticized NATO today. He said that without America, NATO is weak and useless. Trump stated that the European countries refused to help stop a nuclear Iran and now that the military fighters won, they they complained about how how high oil prices are. He called them cowards for refusing to help open the straight of adding adding that America will remember this. Anyway, Trump sends a very loud thank you note to Europe. In other words, on Thursday, yesterday, President Trump met in the Oval Office with Japan's Prime Minister S um San Takiachi. Sakiachi became Japan's first female prime minister in a historic moment for the country. Reporters asked Trump why the United States had not warned its allies before striking Iran. His answer, why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? Who knows better about surprises than Japan? He joked. For those who may not know, in 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, which pulled the United States into a second world into the Second World War. So Trump used that moment in history to defend keeping the strike secret. Trump also praised Takiachi for Japan's support of the United States in connection with the Iran situation, though exactly what that support will look like was not spelled out. Iran executed a 19-year-old champion wrestler yesterday by public hanging. Unbelievable. His name was Salai Muhammadi. He was a member of Iran's national wrestling team. The government convicted him of killing police officers during the large anti-government protests that swept through Iran in recent weeks, months. He is one of the many civilians to be executed in public for protesting his rights. also executed a Swedish citizen named um Korush Cavani, a known activist who publicly opposed the Iranian government. Sweden has not yet responded publicly about this. 200 French yeshiva students who were learning in school needed to get home for PES but Bengurian able to partially close because of the war. So they found another way. The bay is organization put together the whole journey. students traveled towards yushalam to the taba border. from Islam to the Taba border crossing uh the Taba border crossings sorry he crossed through the Sai desert Aai all the way to Shaham al-Shik and from there boarded flights back to France all 200 were home in time for Yam or are home in time for Yam on Monday night an interesting story was on his way home from Ashia when sirens went off his driver pulled over and they took shelter inside the hati bakery on I think it's on um Canaman street. Yeah, Caraman Street. And when all is when the all clear sign came, Ra Ravillestein asked the workers to pack up some baked goods and paid for them himself. He said it was Alan Aakura Sat gratitude for letting them use the bakery as shelter. An Iranian missile made a direct impact on the area in the old city of Shalimes. I showed you before what it looked like. And also in other in other news, the city of Rakavat in Israel also took a direct hit from a uh rocket attack in an apartment building. The damage was extensive and out of control. A soldier in the military uh in the military reserves has been charged with passing secret information to Iran. and where the Iron Dome is there to protect. He basically gave away secrets of income uh of of this Iron Dome, how it works, locations of missile defense batteries, and the position of Israeli Air Force bases directly to Iranian officials. He was paid approximately $1,000 in digital currency. He now faces serious criminal charges. Since the fighting began, the Israeli military has struck more than 2,000 terror targets inside Lebanon. That includes roughly 120ba command posts and as well more than 130 missile launchers and more than 570bala fighters have been killed. Among them senior commanders at highest levels. Lebanon's health ministry um puts the death toll at around 1,000 and the IDF says approximately 57% of those killed were actually fighters. The fighting is also creating well cracks inside Lebanon's own communities. Many residents have been pushed out of their homes again and frustration towards KZBA is growing even among those who once supported it. In northern Israel, residents are refusing to leave even as the firing continues. After 16 months of being pushed out of their homes once already, many families are saying we cannot do this again. A journalist from Russia today, the Russian uh government television network is claiming that is Israel tried to kill him during a live broadcast >> were reported against Naharia and a minute >> in Lebanon. >> Unbelievable. His name is Steve Sweeney. He was in southern Lebanon standing right there on a bridge over the the Leani River when a missile struck nearby. He says it was a deliberate attack and a war crime. Russia's foreign minister called is is Israel's ambassador to Moscow has summoned him over uh about the incident. One detail worth noting though Israel had publicly announced in advance for those you remember I actually announced it here myself that it would be striking bridges on the Lutani River and gave evacuation orders for nobody to be there. So he chose to stand on one of them and broadcast and make a live broadcast I guess. Sure. Okay. Overnight, Israeli forces struck military targets in southern Syria. This was a direct response to attacks by the Syrian government's um army on Drew civilians in the Asadia region. Remember there was a war once there a terrible terrible one. The Drews are a minority religious community who live in parts of Syria, right? Lebanon and Israel. Israel has alone considered themselves responsible for the protecting the Drews communic community in in Syria. The Israeli military struck headquarters, command center and military equipment inside Syrian army camps. The IDF said Israel will not allow to harm harm to come to the Drew community in Syria and will continue to act to protect them. Mediators working to end the war in Gaza say they are now they now have a plan to rebuild the area but with a few conditions. Kamas has to be fully disarmed completely before a single dollar goes in. Kamas says it will not even look at the plan now with their money people in Iran being destroyed. The plan still exists though. French President Emanuel Mcron called Israel's military actions in Lebanon completely unacceptable yesterday and his demand. He also said he hopes that the current holiday period for the for the Arabs for the Muslims could lead to a ceasefire. France's foreign minister or maybe Pesak as well. He means France's foreign minister is on his way to Israel today. I think he arrived already there. Two apartments in London have been linked to Much Kaba Kamay who also put out a statement you know condemning the killing of his people. Peshkin, by the way, the one I I spoke about yesterday, also put out a statement um saying saying stuff, I guess. Well, they're all saying stuff now. He is the son of Iran Supreme Leader Ali Ayat Ali and the man most widely expected to take over as Supreme Leader of Iran after his father. That is a very interesting thing because nobody could find him. Nobody knows where he is. Anyway, both apartments are less than 50 m from Israel from the Israeli embassy in London. A terrorist expert who reviewed the case called it a serious security security security problem. In other news, Ukraine says, well, there's a war in Ukraine and Russia. It has taken back about 400 um square kil kilometers of Russian held land in the south since the start of the war. That's south of year 2026, start of the fourth year of the war. Ukrainian forces also are also reporting record numbers of Russian drones shot down. Peace talks are on pause. The Kremlin calls it a situational pause, a very official way of saying nothing is happening. But Ukraine's President Zalinski, who has been seen by the in a picture together with Putin years ago together with Mcron says that um he's sending a delegation to Washington to try and get the talks moving again. His team could be returning to negotiating table as early as tomorrow. Shabas, President Trump said he wanted to buy Greenland. Greenland is a very large Arctic island that sits between North America and Europe. It is owned by Denmark, a small European country and an ally of the United Nations. But Greenland runs most of its own affairs. The United States had a a military base there for many, many years. People laughed at Trump in 2019 in the first term. And Denmark's prime minister at the same time called the idea absurd. But Trump didn't forget when he came back into office. Well, this time and this time he meant it. The United States needs Greenland. He said he sent his son Donald jump Donald Trump Jr. there on a visit. He appointed a special representative to lead the charge for Greenland and then earlier this year he said he's willing to take it the hard way by force. Denmark very serious, very fast. European countries sent soldiers to Greenland for joint military exercises. Denmark sent 200 more soldiers to the island itself. And as we're learning right now, new new new information emerges. Denmark secretly flew blood bags and explosives to Greenland and Danish soldiers were prepared to blow up the island's own runways to stop American planes from landing there. At the end of January 2026, Trump stepped back at the Davos Economic Conference and he pledged not to use force or penalties to take Greenland. Denmark NATO ally preparing to blow up its own runways to stop America. Unbelievable. Okay. Three men were charged with moving two half mil billion dollars worth of Nvidia chips from America to China. Nvidia where makes some of the most advanced computer chips in the world used to run artificial intelligence systems AI. The United States does not allow these chips. It's illegal to be sold to China specifically to keep that technology out of Chinese hands. Prosecutors say they used fake paperwork and shell companies to hide it. One of the men is the co-founder of the Super Micro, another company. They now face federal charges in what prosecutors say is one of the biggest export law cases in the US history. Former FBI director James Comey has been called in by federal investigators. The investigation is looking at what prosecutors are calling a planned effort by senior officials from the Obama administration to work against President Trump during and after the 2016 election, his first term. security. Now, almost 10 years ago, security lines, security lines at American airports are getting longer, and officials say it will get worse before it gets better. TSA workers are are still showing up without pay because of the government shutdown. Some have reportedly been donating blood for money. At Atlanta airport, workers are now demanding action as lines keep growing. Delta's CEO told Congress, "This is hurting workers, airlines, and passengers." Well, there is still no deal to end the shutdown. Pier Piv pv pier palev pv yeah yeah pv told Joe Rogan Canada is taking in about 1 million people a year refugees and he says it is worsening housing and the economy he also said refugee abuse should be dealt with by law poly what somebody help me here leads Canada's conservative party the next federal election is officially set for October 15th 2029 unless it is triggered earlier because of a minority government right Raosside, do you remember when the first landing on the moon happened? NASA has made a major move towards sending people back to the moon in a giant well, it's its giant moon rocket is now back on the launch pad with liftoff target for April and Pesak. This is part of the Arteimus mission. NASA's plan to return astronauts to the moon for the first time in more than 50 years now. The last human landing was in 1972. My grandmother remembers it. My mother remembers it. Now, after well, after decades, well, not not many people remember it. It's not so long ago, actually. America is preparing now for the next chapter.

A new pair of smart glasses with builtin AI just won a 1 million pound English pound prize in Britain for helping people deal with dementia. Dementia slowly damages the brain. It can take away memory and make everyday tasks feel confusing or impossible. uh family members who are currently suffering from it. More than 55 million people around the world live with it. More than 6 million are living in the United States alone. Listen to this. These glasses are designed to help in real time. They look at what is in front of the person wearing them. Recognizes objects like a stove, a cup or medicine, and then gives gentle spoken reminders step by step. So if someone is standing in the kitchen and forgets what comes next, the glasses can guide them through it calmly, one step at a time. The software is called Cross Sense. It won the Longitude Prize on dementia this February. The team says the glasses are now being prepared for use through Britain's NHS, which could one which could one day make them available to patients without paying out of pocket. They are also in talks about bringing the the technology to the United States. And honestly, after a week where it felt like the whole world was trying to set itself on fire, it is nice to end with something built to help people hold on to what matters. Shabas, my friends, have a wonderful, beautiful Shabas. And also, easy preparation for PE. We'll see you next week.
