00:14Dzień dobry, jest Thursday, 10 september.
00:18You're watching Euronews, and this is Europe Today.
00:23Coming up, the plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
00:27to Oslo for the funeral of the King of Norway
00:30was almost hit by a drone when taking off from Moldova on Tuesday.
00:36That's according to the Norwegian Prime Minister.
00:38This comes after two people were killed
00:40after Russian drones struck a border crossing between Ukraine and Moldova.
00:45Meanwhile, in a one-hour phone conversation with Donald Trump,
00:49Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed speculation
00:51about the Russian threat to European nations.
00:54The Baltic countries are on the front line of growing Russian threats.
00:59And concerns are mounting over a deteriorating security situation in the region
01:04that comes after the CIA chief traveled to Moscow last month
01:08reportedly warning Russia against testing NATO's resolve.
01:12At the International Security Conference in Riga,
01:15participants are increasingly worried.
01:17We'll hear from the Foreign Minister of Finland
01:19and a researcher who spent three years building the systems
01:24behind some of the world's most powerful AI models
01:28has quit the industry entirely,
01:30warning that the companies racing to build
01:33ever more capable artificial intelligence
01:35are gambling with our lives.
01:3827-year-old Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic yesterday.
01:42He claims that many of the people building the technology
01:46privately fear it could prove fatal for humanity.
01:51Welcome to the program.
01:52I'm Stefan Grope.
01:54Our top story on Europe Today takes us to Latvia.
01:57Our chief Europe editor Maria Tadeo is in Riga
02:01following a security conference.
02:03The Baltic countries are on the front line of growing Russian threats
02:06and concerns are mounting over a deteriorating security situation in the region
02:11that comes after the CIA chief traveled to Moscow last month
02:15reportedly warning Russia against testing NATO's resolve.
02:19Let's go live now to Riga, where Maria Tadeo is standing by.
02:24Maria, you have been talking to officials there.
02:27What are you hearing?
02:30Yes, Stefan, good morning,
02:31because this security conference is underway
02:34and the security picture and the Baltics is very much in focus,
02:38as you say, in the context of that trip,
02:40a very rare, unannounced trip from the CIA boss to Moscow,
02:45where he met with Russian intelligence.
02:47Reportedly, one of the messages that he conveyed
02:50was a warning from the United States to Russia
02:53against escalating tensions with U.S. allies in the region,
02:57namely Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia.
03:01Of course, here, when you speak to Baltic officials,
03:04they tell you, again, and this is something that they have stressed,
03:07yes, Russia is a security threat.
03:10They also point to increased hybrid activity,
03:13but they still say the picture has not fundamentally changed.
03:17Of course, they would have to say that
03:19because they don't want to create a sense of panic here.
03:22But just to give you an idea of the preparedness
03:25and the reinforcements of some of those security points in this region,
03:28just yesterday, the Latvian prime minister announced that his country
03:31will need an 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,
03:41there was also a letter sent by a number of commissioners,
03:45including the Baltic commissioners,
03:46saying that they believe there is, quote,
03:49a 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
03:57and 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,
04:06it'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, everyday Latvians
04:24who 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.
04:35One of the focus points in this conference
04:37will be about strengthening, of course, the defense and the army,
04:41the capacity to ramp up production to protect that border.
04:44The stress, as I say, at this point continues to be one,
04:48be in preparedness, but inevitably this conversation
04:50over the past two weeks has certainly fed
04:53into the political debate here.
04:55Maria, you also caught up with Finland's Foreign Minister,
04:58Elina Waltonen.
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 Waltonen,
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
05:19will remain unstable, it will remain volatile
05:22for 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
05:30for certainly the frontline countries.
05:33She also told me and reinstated that her country
05:36is in favor of using the Russian frozen assets.
05:38As you know, Shef, and this debate was shelved
05:41last year over Christmas.
05:43Instead, the Europeans decided that they would pay
05:45out of pocket with a loan,
05:47but it has been revived
05:48because the cost of the war keeps mounting.
05:51And at this stage,
05:52let's be clear about this,
05:53it is the Europeans who are, for the most part,
05:55paying for the war effort alongside the Ukrainians
05:58who are the ones doing the fighting,
06:00but they realize the bill is coming
06:02and it will be significant going into 2027.
06:05The other point that I would stress is,
06:07she is a fluent German speaker,
06:09she keeps an eye on German affairs,
06:11and I asked her about the victory of the AfD,
06:13and this is relevant because the AfD has said
06:16they would want to reinstort ties
06:18with Russia diplomatically.
06:20She did tell me, however,
06:22this was not a case of Russian misinformation,
06:24this was not a case of perhaps Russia meddling
06:27in an election, it was an election
06:28that really tapped into some of the real issues
06:31that are happening in Europe
06:32and Europe has to deal with.
06:33Let's take a look.
06:35Certainly, I would not attribute
06:37the overall success of AfD
06:39to only disinformation.
06:41That would be totally unwise
06:43and also very much untrue.
06:46But how Russian disinformation campaigning
06:50actually functions is precisely
06:52to take those points of dissatisfaction
06:54in the society and amplify those
06:56and drive people against each other,
07:00but essentially and especially drive people
07:03against their own governments.
07:04I'm sure that Moscow is happy,
07:07but at the same time,
07:08there are true concerns of people
07:11behind that result,
07:12and I think it's extremely important
07:14we respect a democratic result,
07:17which this was.
07:19And first and foremost,
07:20I would say that,
07:21or at least based on what I hear around,
07:23is the concerns of a migration
07:26which are behind the electoral result.
07:30All right, Maria Tadeo there,
07:32reporting from Riga.
07:34Thank you very much.
07:35A plane carrying Ukrainian President
07:38Volodymyr Zelensky from Moldova to Oslo
07:41was nearly hit by a drone.
07:43Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gastore
07:45said yesterday he did not provide
07:47further details about the incident.
07:50That's why we're now turning
07:51to our correspondent, Sasha Vakulina.
07:53Good morning, Sasha.
07:55So, can you provide us
07:57with any more details?
07:58Stefan, recently Ukraine's president
08:01started using more Moldovan airspace,
08:04Kishinev airport,
08:05rather than Poland,
08:06as he used to do for years
08:07since the beginning of Russia's
08:08full-scale invasion.
08:09And that was the case on Tuesday.
08:11Now, the moment,
08:11around the same time
08:12that President Zelensky
08:13was about to take off
08:15to go to Norway,
08:16this is also around the same time
08:18when a drone incursion
08:20was detected,
08:21first in Moldova
08:22and then in Romania.
08:23And the timeline says everything
08:25about the timing
08:27of when that happened.
08:28So, the drone was detected
08:29in Moldova 4.20 in the afternoon.
08:33You can see it there.
08:34Then it crossed from Moldova
08:36to Romania,
08:37now, to NATO airspace.
08:39This is when the fighter jets
08:40took off to monitor.
08:42They spent over 20 minutes
08:44monitoring the situation
08:45and following the drone
08:46until Romanian military
08:48lost the drone
08:49on its radars
08:51and then it reappeared
08:52shortly after
08:53back in Moldova.
08:55And around the same time,
08:56this is when President Zelensky
08:57was ready to take off
08:59and reportedly,
09:00according to monitoring channels,
09:02he did take off
09:02around 5.57.
09:05So, with that drone incursion
09:07first into Moldova,
09:09non-NATO airspace,
09:10and then going into Romania
09:12and then returning to Moldova
09:14around the same time,
09:15well, that's one drone
09:16that was reported
09:17and that's reportedly
09:18the same drone
09:19that was threatening
09:21Zelensky's plane, Stefan.
09:23Quite scary stuff there,
09:25Sascha Vakulina.
09:27As always, great reporting.
09:28Thank you very much.
09:30The European Commission
09:31has unveiled
09:32a legislative proposal
09:33allowing EU public authorities
09:35to favor European companies
09:37in public procurement
09:39for key public services,
09:41such as energy,
09:42water,
09:43railways,
09:44ports,
09:45airports,
09:45and postal services.
09:47A move that clearly targets
09:48Chinese companies
09:49in a market valued
09:51at 2 billion euros annually.
09:53This comes as European policymakers
09:55seek to shield
09:57the bloc's market
09:58from China
09:58amid heated trade negotiations
10:00as the EU grapples
10:02with a trade deficit
10:03with Beijing
10:04of roughly
10:051 billion euros
10:07a day.
10:08For more on this,
10:09let's head over to Paris
10:11where I'm joined by
10:12Alicia Garcia-Jerrero,
10:13a Spanish economist
10:14with the think tank Bruegel
10:16and an expert
10:17on Asian economies.
10:19Good morning.
10:20Good morning.
10:21So, is this a long overdue act
10:24of European economic self-defense
10:26or simply protectionism
10:28with a European flag on it?
10:32Well, self-defense
10:33can be protectionist.
10:35So, you know,
10:35in a way it's everything.
10:36But I have to say
10:38that
10:39no matter how,
10:40you know,
10:41China may be reading
10:43the Industrial Selector Act,
10:44which is this legislation
10:46you referred to,
10:47it's actually not
10:49only for European companies.
10:51In fact,
10:52you only need to sign
10:54the International Procurement Agreement
10:56at the WTO
10:58to be part of the game,
11:00i.e. Korean companies
11:01can compete
11:02with European companies.
11:03Japanese companies
11:04can compete
11:04with European companies.
11:05So China could just
11:06sign this agreement,
11:08which basically means
11:09that you reciprocate
11:11in your procurement.
11:13In other words,
11:14that European companies
11:15can also go to China
11:16under the same conditions
11:18for China's procurement.
11:20So in that regard,
11:21I actually think
11:22this legislation
11:24has been heavily criticized
11:25as very protectionist.
11:27but in my view,
11:28it's very reciprocal.
11:30And I think that
11:31has to be taken into account.
11:33Alicia,
11:33here's an uncomfortable question.
11:36Won't excluding
11:37cheaper Chinese companies
11:38simply make
11:39public projects
11:40more expensive?
11:43Because
11:44the idea
11:45of public procurement,
11:47as I mentioned,
11:48within this
11:48global
11:51agreement,
11:52WTO agreement,
11:54basically
11:56limits
11:57the amount
11:58of subsidies
11:59or other types
12:00of support
12:01that the companies
12:03can offer
12:04when going
12:05to procurement.
12:06I think that's fair,
12:07if you ask me.
12:08because
12:09if
12:10Chinese government
12:11wants to compete
12:12with our companies
12:13through subsidies
12:14or other means,
12:15our companies
12:16won't have a chance.
12:17So in that regard,
12:18I think it's not only
12:19about being cheap,
12:20but about being fair.
12:22So this is why
12:23this international
12:23legislation
12:25supposedly protects us
12:26from this reality
12:28and the
12:29Industrial Select Act,
12:31our legislation
12:32now,
12:32takes that on board,
12:34which we have not done
12:35in the past.
12:36All right.
12:38Alicia Garcia-Herrero
12:39from the Think Tank Bruegel,
12:40thank you for breaking
12:41it all down for us.
12:43Now,
12:44Europe's housing crisis
12:45has reached
12:46emergency levels
12:48with ordinary people
12:49in ordinary jobs
12:50struggling
12:51to afford
12:52somewhere to live.
12:53That's the warning
12:54from the European
12:55Commissioner for Housing,
12:56Dan Jorgensen.
12:57In response,
12:58the EU has unveiled
12:59new rules
13:00aimed at curbing
13:01short-term rentals
13:03such as Airbnb
13:04in areas
13:05under so-called
13:05housing stress.
13:07Our correspondent,
13:08Marek Gwynn,
13:09caught up with
13:09Commissioner Jorgensen
13:10and began by asking
13:11whether the new
13:12restrictions
13:13will offer relief
13:14to Europeans
13:15being squeezed
13:16by the housing market.
13:18So prices
13:19in many cities
13:20in Europe
13:21are way too high.
13:22So we see
13:23normal people
13:24with normal jobs
13:25not being able
13:25to find a place
13:27to live,
13:27being crowded out
13:29of the cities
13:29where they serve
13:30as police officers,
13:31nurses and teachers
13:32and so on.
13:32So this is totally
13:33unacceptable
13:33and we need
13:34to act.
13:35What we propose
13:36today
13:36is to say
13:38where short-term
13:40rentals are a problem
13:41because they are
13:41in some cities.
13:42They have crowded out
13:44normal people
13:45from their homes
13:45because there's
13:46more money to be made
13:47just having a short-term
13:48rental
13:48and where that is the case
13:50we are now giving
13:51the legal basis
13:52for member states
13:53to regulate this.
13:55So we are now
13:56giving the member states
13:57the ability
13:57to actually do something
13:59about this important problem.
14:00I'm interested in knowing
14:02about the degree
14:03of concern
14:03you have
14:04about this.
14:06Do you fear
14:06we're moving
14:07towards a Europe
14:08where it will become
14:09impossible
14:10for a young person
14:11under 35
14:12for example
14:12to actually
14:13become a homeowner
14:15or even worse
14:16to even afford
14:17a rent?
14:18Unfortunately
14:18in many cities
14:19and member states
14:20we are already there.
14:21It is
14:22I would say
14:23actually an emergency
14:24because if you don't
14:26have roof over your head
14:27if you don't have
14:27the opportunity
14:28to find a place
14:29to live
14:29then for instance
14:30young people
14:31are not able
14:31to start a family
14:32they're not able
14:33to get the job
14:33that they want
14:34they're not able
14:35to take the education
14:36that they want
14:36and need
14:37and by the way
14:37we as a society
14:38need that they take
14:39so really
14:41it's important
14:42that we take
14:43this extremely serious
14:44it's also important
14:45that we from
14:46the European Union side
14:47which traditionally
14:49maybe hasn't been
14:50the case
14:50acknowledge that
14:51this is also
14:52a European problem
14:52so we need to
14:53provide solutions
14:54from Brussels.
14:56You and I both know
14:57that short-term rentals
14:57are just part
14:58of the problem
14:59as the commissioner
15:01responsible for tackling
15:02this 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
15:13of the problem
15:14in many cities
15:14but of course
15:15this will not solve
15:16all 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
15:27become houses
15:27we 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
15:44If I may
15:45have a final question
15:46on energy
15:46because energy bills
15:47are also a major concern
15:48of course
15:49we know
15:50that international 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
16:13the faster
16:15you can deploy
16:16more renewables
16:17the faster
16:18you 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
16:26you can deploy
16:27more energy efficiency measures
16:28the faster
16:29you can do
16:29all of these things
16:30the more easy
16:31the winter will be
16:32to face
16:33and by the way
16:33these things
16:34will also lead
16:34to 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
16:59but from AI safety researchers
17:02and insiders
17:03who argue that
17:04increasingly powerful 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 Policy Studies
17:18here in Brussels
17:19good morning
17:20good morning
17:21so let me start
17:22with a blunt question
17:23is this science
17:24or 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 powerful technologies
17:45it all depends
17:46on how we use them
17:47and most importantly
17:49we don't have to confuse this
17:51with 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 question
18:04seems to be this
18:06are we building machines
18:07that we may
18:08eventually be unable
18:10to switch off?
18:12it depends on
18:12what kind of goals
18:13we give to these machines
18:14what kind of powers
18:15we can have a software
18:17which is self-contained
18:18but a software
18:18that governs
18:19all our critical infrastructure
18:21the railroads
18:22the telecoms networks
18:23and everything
18:24and has the ability
18:26to dodge
18:26some 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
18:38AI
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
19:14much 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
19:20Andrea Render
19:21thank you so much
19:22for 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
19:58and see you tomorrow
