DUBAI: TikTok has launched the second edition of its inspirational T-Talks series in the Middle East and North Africa region.

The first edition was launched in November last year and featured three episodes under the theme #VoicesForHope with the intention of continuing to raise awareness about breast cancer following October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“We are looking to build on the success of the inaugural edition of T-Talks, and we look forward to another series featuring local talents who continue to inspire creativity and bring joy,” said Hany Kamel, content operations director at TikTok MENA.

Although the second edition does not have a specific theme, it will celebrate creators across the areas of education, travel, music and food, allowing viewers to get an inside look at the lives of their favorite creators.

The line-up of creators includes movie reviewer @nadsreviews, lifestyle and travel blogger @hayayasmeen, chef @m7md.cooks, singer @bsmallaofficial, award-winning dancer and choreographer @zouba_official, and music creator @yasso_ng.

Hezbollah says Israeli strike killed Al-Manar TV presenter in southern Lebanon

  • The ​Israeli ‌military said later on Monday that Al-Din was a Hezbollah militant who recently worked to rehabilitate the group’s artillery capabilities in southern Lebanon

The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah said on Monday that an Israeli strike ​in the country’s south killed TV presenter Ali Nour Al-Din, who worked for the group’s affiliated Al-Manar television station.
The group said the killing portends “the danger of ‌Israel’s extended escalations (in Lebanon) ‌to include ‌the ⁠media community.”
The ​Israeli ‌military said later on Monday that Al-Din was a Hezbollah militant who recently worked to rehabilitate the group’s artillery capabilities in southern Lebanon.
Israel and ⁠Lebanon agreed to a US-brokered ‌ceasefire in 2024 to end ‍more than ‍a year of fighting ‍between Israel and Hezbollah, which culminated in Israeli strikes that severely weakened the Iran-backed militant group. Since ​then, the sides have traded accusations over ceasefire violations.
Lebanon ⁠has faced growing pressure from the US and Israel to disarm Hezbollah. The group’s leaders fear that Israel could dramatically escalate strikes across the battered country, aiming to push the Lebanese government for quicker action to confiscate Hezbollah’s arsenal.
