 Welcome back to the breakfast on plus TV Africa now Let's go back in history to this day in 2009 his name, of course Usain Bolt and on this day he broke yet another world record run in a hundred meters in 9.58 seconds Fantastic, yes, I need you to understand how you know, you can how fast you must have been nine seconds 58 that is Out of this world But he broke the record on this day In Beijing at the Beijing Olympics actually and if you remember also a year earlier He had also run at 9.69 in Actually this happened in Berlin, but he had done Beijing in the Beijing Olympics in 9.69 The Berlin was at the athletics world championships and of course he bid us in 9.58 seconds on this day It was also the era where we saw some of the world's fastest men on the track The last Olympics didn't get to see as much of that, you know glitz and speed as we had seen during Usain Bolt's time You know, there was also a couple of people the Tyson gays They are south of Powell's and Johan Blake and some of all those, you know, the you know the Jamaican and American Athletes that had done record times back to back But it was on this day that Usain Bolt did the unthinkable and run a hundred meters in 9.58 seconds Sadly, of course in 2017 he wasn't able to pull that off again And you know, I think in there really he had a hamstring injury or you know, he pulled out of the race at you know The last lap, you know This is you know One of the things that you know had completely blown the minds of every single person who was watching the athletics championships then or and of course the Olympics in Beijing a year earlier completely out of this world 9.58 seconds I'm actually stunned to be honest thinking back at this time in 2009, Usain Bolt was just 22 years old then when he when he accomplished his feats Jamaican Little rough, you know, what is you know, that he's got out there You know, how do you break your own world record with about 11th of a second about 9.58 seconds And you know the one of the wildest things with these World records and even with the four by 100 meters was you can almost sense at the end of the race that he's slowing down You know the last you know, like three four five steps. It feels you can maybe it's in my mind But it feels like he's even slowing down, you know And you can then imagine what if he kept up that full start exactly on full speed till the end of the race until across the line It probably would have been 9.56 or 9.57, you know, something like that Since then nobody has been able to pull this off, you know And the world has continued to set for anybody who will be able to do a 9.58 or do anything close to it You know in athletics. Wow, still not being able to find amazing amazing stuff Okay, so I'm going back to there 2018 to tell you about a story that We've heard too often. I mean, it's even happening right now in some parts of the world and that's wildfires Yeah, and on this day in history about 380,000 hectares of land in the western province of British Columbia in Canada, you know was ravaged by wildfires Well, what happened today in history was that the Canadian government actually Declare the state of emergency to say that, you know for the next 14 days, let's all be careful Let's all watch because the way the wildfires were blazing at that time. It was so so bad a Year before then it was a similar experience wildfires as well They're really threatened the livelihoods of people threaten people's safety About 18,000 residents were warned that they might have to actually flee their homes at a moment's notice So everybody had to be at a latch if you wanted to pack whatever get it ready because the way the fires were blazing Nobody was safe. No one was safe There are about 3,000 firefighters that were working to contain the fires about 200 Canadian armed forces We're deployed to help the province of British Columbia You know that firefighters that state of emergency that was declared was based on an advice by the British Columbia's wildfire service to say that, you know We need to be at alert as these fires continue to rage on for days and days Yeah, yeah, and it's something that you know, I've always wondered We've never seen something like this here in Nigeria or even in Africa. We have this tanker explosion Yeah, you know, I'm saying you know with regards, you know this type of natural disasters You know, we never get to see this type of things. You know a lot here in Africa Turkey currently is dealing with you know, its own, you know, wildfire equally I think and Greece have also, you know, had to deal with their own wildfires lately And it's they're talking also of record temperatures for the 8.8 degrees Celsius, you know Which is the highest that they've ever gotten to experience, you know And so it definitely will bring back the conversation on climate change, you know, and how the world is getting hotter You know, and what more disasters we might, you know, have to experience So anyway, let me leave that out Are you about to bring up the hunger question? No, I was gonna say that, you know, you know, sometimes, you know, this is personal No, sometimes I've always, you know, felt like, you know, the whole idea of the end of the world You know, and the trumpet blowing loud It may not exactly happen that way It might just be with the earth, you know, just completely, you know, imploding With these natural disasters, you know, we have landslides, we have earthquakes in Haiti There's another one in Haiti again, about 700 people have died Yes There's wildfires burning left and right There's so much going on at the same time Yes Earth is completely being disgusted with human activity In the United States right now, crews are battling the largest wildfires You see, so I've always just, you know, sometimes just felt like There might not be a loud trumpet blowing to end the world It might just be the earth just completely imploding and Disasters left and right just completely You can keep your theories to yourself That's my own personal theory Let's take a break here I'll return with a fact about what happened in Plateau State in Afghanistan And what's set to happen in September Stay with us
