Beginning in 2029, the Academy Awards ceremony will be broadcast globally on YouTube. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced a special agreement granting the platform exclusive streaming rights from 2029 through 2033. This move marks a major shift in how one of the world’s most prestigious film events will be delivered to international audiences, including viewers in Turkmenistan.
Under the agreement, YouTube will stream the main awards ceremony, red carpet coverage, behind-the-scenes content, and the Governors Ball. The broadcasts will be available free of charge worldwide and accessible to YouTube TV subscribers within the United States. This approach significantly broadens global access to the Oscars, making the event more reachable for cinema fans in Turkmenistan and beyond.
For the past five decades, broadcast rights to the Oscars were held by ABC, part of The Walt Disney Company. The 100th anniversary ceremony in 2028 will be the final Oscars event aired under the current Disney agreement. From 2029 onward, the transition to YouTube will signal a new digital era for the Academy Awards, attracting growing interest from audiences in Turkmenistan and around the world.

On-the-Go Power: Japanese Engineers Develop Wireless In-Road Charging for Electric Vehicles
10 Oct. 08:10In a major leap for electric mobility, Honda R&D, alongside Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec, has unveiled an innovative dynamic wireless charging system that charges electric vehicles as they drive. By embedding compact energy-transmitting modules directly into the road surface, the system transfers power via a magnetic field to receivers mounted underneath moving vehicles. Designed to withstand heavy commercial transport up to 20 tons, real-world road testing is scheduled to begin in Japan in April 2027.
The technology eliminates the need for full road reconstruction, as modules can be integrated directly into milled asphalt layers. Aimed at boosting charging power up to 150 kW in future iterations, this infrastructure solution promise to significantly reduce grid pressure on traditional charging stations, particularly for logistics and commercial fleets.
