00:14good morning it's Thursday the 10th of September you're watching Euronews and

00:20this is Europe today coming up the plane carrying Ukrainian president Volodymyr

00:27Zelensky to Oslo for the funeral of the king of Norway was almost hit by a drone when taking

00:33off from Moldova on Tuesday that's according to the Norwegian prime minister this comes after two

00:40people were killed after Russian drones struck a border crossing between Ukraine and Moldova

00:45meanwhile in a one-hour phone conversation with Donald Trump Russian president Vladimir Putin

00:50dismissed speculation about the Russian threat to European nations the Baltic countries are

00:56on the front line of growing Russian threats and concerns are mounting over a deteriorating

01:02security situation in the region that comes after the CIA chief traveled to Moscow last month

01:08reportedly warning Russia against testing NATO's resolve at the international security conference

01:14in Riga participants are increasingly worried we'll hear from the foreign minister of Finland

01:19and a researcher who spent three years building the systems behind some of the world's most

01:26powerful AI models has quit the industry entirely warning that the company's racing to build ever

01:33more capable artificial intelligence are gambling with our lives 27 year old Jacob Coxon resigned from

01:41Anthropic yesterday he claims that many of the people building the technology privately fear it could

01:48prove fatal for humanity welcome to the program I'm Stefan Grobe our top story on Europe today

01:56takes us to Latvia our chief Europe editor Maria Tadeo is in Riga following a security conference the Baltic countries

02:04are on the front line of growing Russian threats and concerns are mounting over a deteriorating security situation in the

02:11region that comes after the CIA chief traveled to Moscow last month

02:15reportedly warning Russia against testing NATO's resolve let's go live now to Riga where Maria Tadeo is standing by Maria

02:24you have been talking to officials there what are you hearing

02:30yes Stefan good morning because the security conference is underway and the security picture and the Baltics is very much

02:37in focus as you say in the context of that trip a very rare unannounced trip from the CIA boss

02:44to Moscow where he met with Russian intelligence

02:47reportedly one of the messages that he conveyed was a warning from the United States to Russia against escalating tensions

02:55with US allies in the region namely Lithuania Estonia and Latvia of course here when you speak to Baltic officials

03:04they tell you again and this is something that they have stressed yes Russia is a security threat they also

03:11point to increased hybrid activity but they still say the picture has not fundamentally changed

03:17of course they would have to say that because they don't want to create a sense of panic here but

03:22just to give you an idea of the preparedness and the reinforcements of some of those security points in this

03:28region just yesterday the Latvian prime minister announced that his country will need an additional 7 billion euros to reinforce

03:34its eastern border of course inevitably that money will have to come from the European Union when you look at

03:40the European Union there was also a letter sent by a number of commissioners including the Baltic commissioners

03:46saying that they are saying that they believe there is quote a deteriorating security picture when it comes to this

03:52part of Europe and that more action is needed the message however is one of restraint and put in the

03:58focus on NATO deterrence and security what to me Stefan has been striking I spent the whole day yesterday here

04:06in Riga is also the conversations that you have with everyday life people who would tell you this is now

04:12normal life for them that they are aware hyper aware of course of

04:16Russia but they also say at this point of Russia but they also say at this point all you can

04:19do is be prepared I did have conversations with some again everyday Latvians who told me at this point it's

04:25about being prepared but also if you can buy real estate outside of the country some may do that but

04:30there is a sense of resolve and also agency when it comes to the Baltics one of the focus points

04:36in this conference will be about strengthening of course the defense and the army the capacity to run production to

04:43protect that border

04:44the stress the stress as I say at this point continues to be one of the preparedness but inevitably this

04:50conversation over the past two weeks has certainly fed into the political debate here

04:55Maria you also caught up with Finland's foreign minister Elina Valtonen her country too shares a border with Russia actually

05:03the longest NATO border with Russia what did she tell you

05:09Yes and we caught up with Alina Valtonen who was participating at a business conference very much dedicated to the

05:14security sector and she told me plain and simple at this stage the security picture for Europe will remain unstable

05:21it will remain volatile for as long as the war in Ukraine continues and that is the assessment that they

05:26make as long as the war continues this 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 as you

05:39know

05:39Shefan this debate was shelved last year over Christmas instead the Europeans decided that they would pay out of pocket

05:46with a loan but it has been revived because the cost of the war keeps mounting and at this stage

05:52let's be clear about this it is the Europeans who are for the most part paying for the war effort

05:57alongside the Ukrainians who are the ones doing the fighting but they realize the bill is coming and it will

06:02be significant

06:03going into 2027 the other point that I would stress is she is a fluent German speaker she keeps an

06:10eye on German affairs and I asked her about the victory of the AfD and this is relevant because the

06:15AfD has said they would want to restore ties with Russia diplomatically she did tell me however this was not

06:23a case of Russia misinformation this was not a case of perhaps Russia meddling in an election it was an

06:28election that really tapped into some of the real issues that are happening in Europe and Europe has to deal

06:33with

06:33let's take a look certainly I would not attribute the overall success of AFD to only disinformation that would be

06:42totally unwise and also very much untrue but how Russian disinformation campaigning actually functions is precisely to take those points

06:53of dissatisfaction in the society and amplify those and drive people against each other but essentially

07:01and especially drive people against their governments I'm sure that Moscow is happy but at the same time there are

07:09true concerns of people behind that result and I think it's extremely important we respect a democratic result which this

07:17was and first and foremost I would say that or at least based on what I hear around is the

07:24concerns over migration which are behind the election result

07:30All right Maria Tadeo there reporting from Riga thank 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

08:03Kishinev airport rather 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 and at the moment around the same time that President Zelensky was about

08:14to take off to go to Norway

08:15This is also around the same time when a drone incursion was detected first 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 there then it crossed from Moldova to Romania now to NATO airspace

08:38This is when the fighter jets were took off to monitor

08:42They spent over 20 minutes monitoring the situation and following the drone until a Romanian military lost the drone on

08:50its 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 and that's reportedly the same drone that was threatening Zelensky's plane, Stefan

09:22Quite scary stuff there, Sasha Vakulina

09:27As always, great reporting

09:28Thank you very much

09:29The European Commission has unveiled a legislative proposal allowing EU public authorities to favor European companies in public procurement for

09:39key public services

09:40Such 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 amid heated trade negotiations

10:00As the EU grapples with a trade deficit with Beijing of roughly 1 billion euros a day

10:08For more on this, let's head over to Paris, where I'm joined by Alicia Garcia Herrero, a Spanish economist with

10:14the think tank Bruegel and an expert on Asian economies

10:18Good morning

10:20Good morning

10:21So, is this a long overdue act of European economic self-defense or simply protectionism with a European flag on

10:30it?

10:32Well, self-defense can be protectionist

10:35So, you know, in a way it's everything

10:36So, you know, in a way it's everything

10:36But I have to say that no matter how, you know, China may be reading the Industrial Selector Act, which

10:45is 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 at the WTO to be part of the game

10:59I.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 under the same conditions for China's procurement

11:20So, in that regard, I actually think this legislation has been heavily criticized as very protectionist

11:27But in my view, it's very reciprocal

11:29And I think that has to be taken into account

11:32Right

11:32Alicia, here's an uncomfortable question

11:35Won't excluding cheaper Chinese companies simply make public projects more expensive?

11:44Because the idea of public procurement, as I mentioned, within this global agreement

11:51W-2 agreement

11:56Basically limits the amount of subsidies or other types of support

12:01That the companies can offer when going to procurement

12:06I think that's fair, if you ask me

12:08Because if Chinese government wants to compete with our companies through subsidies or other means

12:15Our companies won't have a chance

12:16So, in that regard, I think it's not only about being cheap

12:20But about being fair

12:21So, this is why this international legislation supposedly protects us from this reality

12:28And the Industrial Selector Act

12:31Our legislation now takes that on board, which 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 has reached emergency levels

12:47With ordinary people in ordinary jobs struggling to afford somewhere to live

12:53That's the warning from the European Commissioner for Housing, Dan Jørgensen

12:57In response, the EU has unveiled new rules aimed at curbing short-term rentals such as Airbnb

13:03In areas under so-called housing stress

13:07Our correspondent Merrick Gwynn caught up with Commissioner Jørgensen

13:10And began by asking whether the new restrictions will offer relief to Europeans being squeezed by the housing market

13:18So, prices in many cities in Europe are way too high

13:22So, we see normal people with normal jobs not being able to find a place to live

13:27Being crowded out of the cities where they serve as police officers, nurses and teachers and so on

13:32So, this is totally unacceptable and we need to act

13:35What we propose today is to say where short-term rentals are a problem

13:41Because they are in some cities

13:42They have crowded out normal people from their homes because 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 for member states to regulate this

13:55So, we are now giving the member states the ability to actually do something about this important problem

14:00I'm interested in knowing about the degree of concern you have about this

14:05Do you fear we're moving towards a Europe where it will become impossible for a young person under 35, for

14:12example

14:12To actually become a homeowner or even worse, to even afford a rent

14:17Unfortunately, in many cities and member states, we are already there

14:21It is, I would say, actually an emergency

14:24Because if you don't have a roof over your head

14:27If you don't have the opportunity to find a place to live

14:29Then, for instance, young people are not able to start a family

14:32They're not able to get the job that they want

14:34They're not able to take the education that they want and need

14:37And by the way, we as a society need that they take

14:39So, really, it's important that we take this extremely serious

14:44It's also important that we from the European Union side

14:47Which traditionally maybe hasn't been the case

14:50Acknowledge that this is also a European problem

14:52So we need to provide solutions from Brussels

14:55You and I both know that short-term rentals are just part of the problem

15:00As the commissioner responsible for tackling this crisis

15:03What more do you hope to be able to do in this mandate

15:07To help Europeans with this pressing issue?

15:11Short-term rentals is a big part of the problem in many cities

15:14But of course, this will not solve all problems

15:17We also need to do more to build more houses

15:21To renovate more houses

15:23To find new purposes for buildings that are already existing

15:26So that they can become houses

15:27We need to cut red tape so that it's easier to provide more housing

15:31We need to mobilize more financing

15:35We need to make it more feasible and easy to build social housing

15:40All of these things, of course, need to be done

15:42So this is an important step, but it's not the only step

15:44If I may, a final question on energy

15:46Because the energy bill is also a major concern, of course

15:49We know that international conflicts are upending the energy commodities markets

15:55How worried are you about the winter facing Europe

15:59Especially given the fact that energy storage is actually lagging behind?

16:03I'm quite worried that if we don't see improvements in the Strait of Hormuz

16:08That we can face a very difficult winter

16:11So my message to member states are very clear

16:13The faster you can deploy more renewables

16:17The faster you can electrify

16:19So move away from gas broilers to district heating or electric heat pumps, for instance

16:25The faster you can deploy more energy efficiency measures

16:28The faster you can do all of these things

16:30The more easy the winter will be to face

16:33And by the way, these things will also lead to lower prices

16:35So really, there's no reason to not do it

16:42EU Housing Commissioner Dan Jørgensen speaking to Merit Gwynn

16:46Yesterday, we heard probably the most striking warnings on artificial intelligence to date

16:52AI is killing us all

16:54This is particularly noteworthy

16:56Because these warnings are coming not just from outside critics

16:59But from AI safety researchers and insiders

17:03Who argue that increasingly powerful systems could eventually become impossible to control

17:10Do I get your attention?

17:12Joining me now to discuss this is Andrea Renda

17:15Director of Research at the Center for European Policy Studies here in Brussels

17:19Good morning

17:20Good morning

17:21So let me start with a blunt question

17:23Is this science 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 necessarily

17:34If we keep all this under control

17:36And we keep it public and open

17:38The thing is

17:39It's not the first time that we build something that can kill us all, right?

17:42We have the atomic bomb

17:43We have several powerful technologies

17:45It all depends on how we use them

17:47And most importantly, we don't have to confuse this with an announcement that super intelligence is coming

17:55Because there are many ways we can all be killed with stupid technologies if we program them in the wrong

18:01way

18:02I guess the fundamental question seems to be this

18:06Are we building machines that we may eventually be unable to switch off?

18:11It depends on what kind of goals we give to these machines and what kind of powers, right?

18:16We can have a software which is self-contained

18:18But a software that governs all our critical infrastructure

18:21The railroads, the telecoms networks and everything

18:24And has the ability to dodge some of our attempts to stop

18:28Especially if programmed to achieve that goal at all costs

18:32Might be difficult

18:33Might be the genie out of the bottle

18:35But it's a very, very stupid way of programming AI

18:38To give it powers that then cannot be controlled

18:41So we have to keep this in check

18:44What would have to happen for you to say

18:47Stop!

18:48AI development must not continue beyond this point

18:52It's a very difficult question

18:54I think for now we don't know enough

18:56What is going on inside those labs

18:58Because they are private

19:00And imagine, you know, research on nuclear power

19:02Happening behind private labs

19:04That no one can control

19:05No one can observe

19:06And people coming out of those labs

19:08And telling you

19:09Oh listen, we're about to kill all humanity

19:11But you don't know how to control that

19:12I think we just have to open up

19:14And audit much more what is going on inside those labs

19:17And invest in public research on this

19:19I guess we just wait and see

19:20Andrei Render

19:21Thank you so much for coming on the program

19:23That does it for us today

19:24Thank you for watching

19:25I'm Stefan Gobert

19:27Take care

19:27And see you tomorrow

19:57I'm Stefan Gobert

19:58You
