Europe Today: дрон едва не задел самолёт Зеленского, Рига обсуждает угрозу России
Дрон едва не столкнулся с самолетом Зеленского по пути на похороны норвежской королевской семьи, вскоре после звонка Путина с Трампом. Europe Today передает с конференции по безопасности в Риге и объясняет, почему исследователь Anthropic ушел, предупредив, что ИИ «играет нашими жизнями».

02:30The Baltic countries are on the front line of growing Russian threats
03:32an additional 7 billion euros to reinforce its eastern border.
03:36Of course, inevitably, that money will have to come from the European Union.
03:40When you look at the European Union, there was also a letter sent by a number of commissioners,
03:45including the Baltic commissioners, saying that they believe there is,
03:48a deteriorating security picture when it comes to this part of Europe,
03:52and that more action is needed.
03:55The message, however, is one of restraint and putting the focus on NATO deterrence and security.
04:01What to me, Stefan, has been striking.
04:04I spent the whole day yesterday here in Riga.
04:07It's also the conversations that you have with everyday life,
04:10people who would tell you this is now normal life for them,
04:14that they are aware, hyper-aware, of course, of Russia,
04:17but they also say at this point all you can do is be prepared.
04:20I did have conversations with some, again, every day,
04:23Latvians who told me at this point it's about being prepared,
04:26but also if you can buy real estate outside of the country,
04:29some may do that, but there is a sense of resolve,
04:31and also agency when it comes to the Baltics.
04:34One of the focus points in this conference will be about strengthening, of course,
04:39the defense and the army, the capacity to ramp up production to protect that border.
04:44The stress, as I say, at this point continues to be one, be it preparedness,
04:49but inevitably this conversation over the past two weeks
04:52has certainly fed into the political debate here.
04:55Maria, you also caught up with Finland's Foreign Minister, Elina Valtonen.
05:00Her country, too, shares a border with Russia.
05:03Actually, the longest NATO border with Russia.
05:06What did she tell you?
05:09Yes, and we caught up with Elina Valtonen,
05:11who was participating at a business conference
05:13very much dedicated to the security sector,
05:16and she told me, plain and simple,
05:17at this stage the security picture for Europe will remain unstable,
05:21it will remain volatile for as long as the war in Ukraine continues,
05:24and that is the assessment that they make.
05:26As long as the war continues,
05:28this will be the everyday reality for certainly the frontline countries.
05:33She also told me and reinstated that her country is in favor of using the Russian frozen assets.
05:38As you know, Shef, and this debate was shelved last year over Christmas.
05:43Instead, the Europeans decided that they would pay out of pocket with a loan,
05:46but it has been revived because the cost of the war keeps mounting.
05:51And at this stage, let's be clear about this,
05:53it is the Europeans who are for the most part paying for the war effort alongside the Ukrainians
05:58who are the ones doing the fighting,
06:00but they realize the bill is coming and it will be significant going into 2027.
06:05The other point that I would stress is she is a fluent German speaker.
06:09She keeps an eye on German affairs,
06:11and I asked her about the victory of the IFD,
06:13and this is relevant because the IFD has said they would want to reinstort ties with Russia diplomatically.
06:20She did tell me, however, this was not a case of Russia misinformation.
06:24This was not a case of perhaps Russia meddling in an election.
06:27It was an election that really tapped into some of the real issues that are happening in Europe,
06:32and Europe has to deal with.
06:33Let's take a look.
06:34Certainly, I would not attribute the overall success of AFD to only disinformation.
06:41That would be totally unwise and also very much untrue.
06:46But how Russian disinformation campaigning actually functions is precisely to take those points of dissatisfaction in the society
06:55and amplify those and drive people against each other,
07:00but essentially and especially drive people against their own governments.
07:04I'm sure that Moscow is happy, but at the same time, there are true concerns of people behind that result.
07:12And I think it's extremely important we respect a democratic result, which this was.
07:18And first and foremost, I would say that, or at least based on what I hear around,
07:23is the concerns of the migration, which are behind the electoral results.
07:30All right.
07:31Maria Tadeo there reporting from Riga.
07:34Thank you very much.
07:35A plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from Moldova to Oslo was nearly hit by a drone.
07:43Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gastore said yesterday he did not provide further details about the incident.
07:49That's why we're now turning to our correspondent, Sasha Vakulina.
07:53Good morning, Sasha.
07:55So can you provide us with any more details?
07:58Stefan, recently Ukraine's president started using more Moldovan airspace, Kishinev airport,
08:04rather than Poland, as he used to do for years since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion.
08:09And that was the case on Tuesday.
08:11Now, the moment, around the same time that President Zelensky was about to take off to go to Norway,
08:15this is also around the same time when a drone incursion was detected,
08:21first in Moldova and then in Romania.
08:23And the timeline says everything about the timing of when that happened.
08:28So the drone was detected in Moldova 4.20 in the afternoon.
08:33You can see it there.
08:34Then it crossed from Moldova to Romania, now to NATO airspace.
08:39This is when the fighter jets took off to monitor.
08:42They spent over 20 minutes monitoring the situation and following the drone
08:46until Romanian military lost the drone on its radars.
08:51And then it reappeared shortly after back in Moldova.
08:55And around the same time, this is when President Zelensky was ready to take off.
08:59And reportedly, according to monitoring channels, he did take off around 5.57.
09:05So with that drone incursion first into Moldova, non-NATO airspace,
09:10and then going into Romania and then returning to Moldova around the same time,
09:15well, that's one drone that was reported,
09:17and that's reportedly the same drone that was threatening Zelensky's plane, Stefan.
09:23Quite scary stuff there, Sasha Vakulina.
09:27As always, great reporting.
09:28Thank you very much.
09:29The European Commission has unveiled a legislative proposal
09:33allowing EU public authorities to favor European companies
09:37in public procurement for key public services,
09:41such as energy, water, railways, ports, airports, and postal services.
09:46A move that clearly targets Chinese companies in a market valued at 2 billion euros annually.
09:53This comes as European policymakers seek to shield the bloc's market from China
09:58amid heated trade negotiations as the EU grapples with a trade deficit
10:03with Beijing of roughly 1 billion euros a day.
10:08For more on this, let's head over to Paris,
10:11where I'm joined by Alicia Garcia-Herrero,
10:13a Spanish economist with the think tank Bruegel
10:16and an expert on Asian economies.
10:19Good morning.
10:20Good morning.
10:21So, is this a long overdue act of European economic self-defense
10:26or simply protectionism with a European flag on it?
10:32Well, self-defense can be protectionist.
10:35So, you know, in a way it's everything.
10:36But I have to say that no matter how, you know,
10:41China may be reading the Industrial Selector Act,
10:44which is this legislation you referred to,
10:47it's actually not only for European companies.
10:51In fact, you only need to sign the international procurement agreement
10:56at the WTO to be part of the game.
11:00I.e., Korean companies can compete with European companies.
11:03Japanese companies can compete with European companies.
11:05So China could just sign this agreement,
11:08which basically means that you reciprocate in your procurement.
11:12In other words, that European companies can also go to China
11:16under the same conditions for China's procurement.
11:20So in that regard, I actually think this legislation
11:24has been heavily criticized as very protectionist,
11:27but in my view, it's very reciprocal.
11:30And I think that has to be taken into account.
11:33Alicia, here's an uncomfortable question.
11:35Won't excluding cheaper Chinese companies
11:38simply make public projects more expensive?
11:43Because the idea of public procurement,
11:47as I mentioned within this global agreement,
11:52WTO agreement,
11:53basically limits the amount of subsidies
11:59or other types of support
12:01that the companies can offer
12:04when going to procurement.
12:06I think that's fair, if you ask me.
12:08Because if the Chinese government
12:11wants to compete with our companies
12:13through subsidies or other means,
12:15our companies won't have a chance.
12:17So in that regard,
12:18I think it's not only about being cheap,
12:20but about being fair.
12:21So this is why this international legislation
12:24supposedly protects us from this reality.
12:29And the Industrial Selector Act,
12:31our legislation now takes that on board,
12:34which we have not done in the past.
12:36All right.
12:37Alicia Garcia Herrero from the think tank Bruegel.
12:40Thank you for breaking it all down for us.
12:43Now, Europe's housing crisis
12:45has reached emergency levels
12:47with ordinary people in ordinary jobs
12:50struggling to afford somewhere to live.
12:53That's the warning
12:54from the European Commissioner for Housing,
12:56Dan Jørgensen.
12:57In response,
12:58the EU has unveiled new rules
13:00aimed at curbing short-term rentals
13:03such as Airbnb
13:03in areas under so-called housing stress.
13:07Our correspondent, Merrick Gwynn,
13:09caught up with Commissioner Jørgensen
13:10and began by asking
13:11whether the new restrictions
13:13will offer relief to Europeans
13:15being squeezed by the housing market.
13:18So prices in many cities in Europe
13:21are way too high.
13:22So we see normal people with normal jobs
13:25not being able to find a place to live,
13:27being crowded out of the cities
13:29where they serve as police officers,
13:31nurses and teachers and so on.
13:32So this is totally unacceptable
13:33and we need to act.
13:35What we propose today
13:36is to say
13:38where short-term rentals are a problem
13:41because they are in some cities.
13:42They have crowded out
13:44normal people from their homes
13:45because there's more money to be made
13:47just having a short-term rental.
13:48And where that is the case,
13:50we are now giving the legal basis
13:52for member states to regulate this.
13:55So we are now giving the member states
13:57the ability to actually do something
13:59about this important problem.
14:00I'm interested in knowing
14:02about the degree of concern
14:03you have about this.
14:05Do you fear we're moving towards a Europe
14:08where it will become impossible
14:10for a young person under 35, for example,
14:12to actually become a homeowner
14:15or even worse,
14:16to even afford a rent?
14:18Unfortunately, in many cities
14:19and member states,
14:20we're already there.
14:21It is, I would say,
14:23actually an emergency
14:24because if you don't have
14:26roof over your head,
14:27if you don't have the opportunity
14:28to find a place to live,
14:29then for instance,
14:30young people are not able
14:31to start a family.
14:32They're not able to get the job
14:33that they want.
14:34They're not able to take the education
14:36that they want and need.
14:37And by the way,
14:37we as a society need that they take.
14:40So really, it's important
14:42that we take this extremely serious.
14:44It's also important
14:45that we from the European Union side,
14:47which traditionally maybe
14:49hasn't been the case,
14:50acknowledge that this is also
14:52a European problem.
14:52So we need to provide solutions
14:54from Brussels.
14:55You and I both know
14:56that short-term rentals
14:57are just part of the problem.
15:00As the commissioner responsible
15:01for tackling this crisis,
15:03what more do you hope
15:05to be able to do
15:06in this mandate
15:07to help Europeans
15:09with this pressing issue?
15:11Short-term rentals
15:12is a big part of the problem
15:14in many cities,
15:15but of course,
15:15this will not solve all problems.
15:17We also need to do more
15:19to build more houses,
15:21to renovate more houses,
15:23to find new purposes
15:24for buildings
15:25that are already existing
15:26so that they can become houses.
15:28We need to cut red tape
15:29so that it's easier
15:30to provide more housing.
15:31We need to mobilize
15:33more financing.
15:35We need to make it
15:36more feasible
15:37and easy to build
15:38social housing.
15:40All of these things,
15:41of course,
15:41need to be done.
15:42So this is an important step,
15:43but it's not the only step.
15:45If I may,
15:45a final question on energy,
15:46because energy bill
15:47is also a major concern,
15:48of course.
15:49We know that
15:50international conflicts
15:51are pending
15:53the energy commodities markets.
15:55How worried are you
15:57about the winter
15:58facing Europe,
15:59especially given the fact
16:00that energy storage
16:01is actually lagging behind?
16:03I'm quite worried
16:04that if we don't see
16:06improvements
16:06in the Strait of Hormuz,
16:08that we can face
16:10a very difficult winter.
16:11So my message
16:12to member states
16:13are very clear.
16:14The faster you can deploy
16:16more renewables,
16:17the faster you can electrify,
16:19so move away
16:20from gas broilers
16:22to district heating
16:23or electric heat pumps,
16:25for instance,
16:25the faster you can deploy
16:27more energy efficiency measures,
16:28the faster you can do
16:29all of these things,
16:30the more easy
16:31the winter will be to face.
16:33And by the way,
16:33these things will also
16:34lead to lower prices.
16:35So really,
16:37there's no reason
16:38to not do it.
16:42EU Housing Commissioner
16:43Dan Jorgensen
16:44speaking to Merit Gwynn.
16:46Yesterday,
16:47we heard probably
16:48the most striking warnings
16:50on artificial intelligence
16:51to date.
16:52AI is killing us all.
16:54This is particularly
16:56noteworthy
16:56because these warnings
16:57are coming not just
16:58from outside critics,
17:00but from AI safety researchers
17:02and insiders
17:03who argue
17:04that increasingly
17:05powerful systems
17:06could eventually
17:07become impossible
17:08to control.
17:10Do I get your attention?
17:12Joining me now
17:13to discuss this
17:14is Andrea Renda,
17:15Director of Research
17:16at the Center for European
17:17Policy Studies
17:18here in Brussels.
17:20Good morning.
17:20Good morning.
17:21So let me start
17:22with a blunt question.
17:23Is this science
17:24science or science fiction?
17:26Do I have to be worried?
17:27Do we all have to be worried?
17:29I think it's science,
17:32but we shouldn't be worried
17:33necessarily
17:34if we keep all this
17:36under control
17:36and we keep it public
17:37and open.
17:38The thing is,
17:39it's not the first time
17:40that we build something
17:41that can kill us all,
17:42right?
17:42We have the atomic bomb,
17:43we have several
17:44powerful technologies.
17:45It all depends
17:46on how we use them.
17:47And most importantly,
17:49we don't have to confuse
17:50this with an announcement
17:53that super intelligence
17:55is coming
17:55because there are many ways
17:57we can all be killed
17:58with stupid technologies
17:59if we program them
18:00in the wrong way.
18:02I guess the fundamental
18:03question seems to be this.
18:06Are we building machines
18:07that we may eventually
18:09be unable to switch off?
18:11It depends on what kind
18:13of goals we give
18:14to these machines
18:14and what kind of powers,
18:15right?
18:16We can have a software
18:17which is self-contained,
18:18but a software that governs
18:19all our critical infrastructure,
18:21the railroads,
18:22the telecoms networks
18:23and everything,
18:24and has the ability
18:26to dodge some of our attempts
18:27to stop,
18:28especially if programmed
18:29to achieve that goal
18:31at all costs
18:32might be difficult,
18:33might be the genie
18:34out of the bottle.
18:35But it's a very,
18:36very stupid way
18:37of programming AI
18:38to give it powers
18:40that then cannot be controlled.
18:41So we have to keep
18:42this in check.
18:44What would have to happen
18:45for you to say,
18:47stop,
18:48AI development
18:49must not continue
18:50beyond this point?
18:52It's a very difficult question.
18:54I think,
18:54for now,
18:55we don't know enough
18:56what is going on
18:57inside those labs
18:58because they are private.
18:59And imagine,
19:01you know,
19:01research on nuclear power
19:02happening behind private labs
19:04that no one can control,
19:05no one can observe,
19:06and people coming out
19:07of those labs
19:08and telling you,
19:09oh, listen,
19:09we're about to kill
19:10all humanity,
19:11but you don't know
19:11how to control that.
19:12I think we just have
19:13to open up
19:14and audit much more
19:15what is going on
19:16inside those labs
19:17and invest in public research
19:19on this.
19:19I guess we just wait
19:20and see.
19:20Andrei Render,
19:21thank you so much
19:22for coming on the program.
19:23That does it for us today.
19:25Thank you for watching.
19:26I'm Stefan Gobert.
19:27Take care
19:27and see you tomorrow.
19:31See you tomorrow.
19:57Bye.
