01:3727-year-old Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropik yesterday.
01:43He claimed that many of the people building the technology privately fear it could prove fatal for humanity.
01:51Welcome to the program. I'm Stefan Grope.
01:54Our top story on Europe Today takes us to Latvia.
01:58Our chief Europe editor Maria Tadeo is in Riga following a security conference.
02:03The Baltic countries are on the front line of growing Russian threats and concerns are mounting over a deteriorating security
02:10situation in the region.
02:11That comes after the CIA chief traveled to Moscow last month, reportedly 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, because this 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.
02:40A very rare, unannounced trip from the CIA boss to 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 U.S. allies in the region, namely Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia.
03:01Of course, here, when you speak to Baltic officials, they tell you, again, and this is something that they have
03:06stressed, yes, Russia is a security threat.
03:10They also point 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.
03:22But just to give you an idea of the preparedness and the reinforcements of some of those security points in
03:28this region, just yesterday, the Latvian prime minister announced that his country will need an additional 7 billion euros to
03:34reinforce 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, including the
03:45Baltic commissioners, saying that they believe there is, quote, a deteriorating security picture when it comes to this part of
03:52Europe and 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, I spent the whole day yesterday here in Riga, it's also the conversations
04:08that you have with everyday life, people who would tell you this is now normal life for them, that they
04:14are 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 who told me at this point it's about being prepared, but
04:26also if you can buy real estate outside of the country, some may do that.
04:30But there is a sense of resolve and also agency when it comes to the Baltics.
04:35One of the focus points in this conference will be about strengthening, of course, the defense and the army, the
04:41capacity to ramp up production to protect that border.
04:44The stress, as I say, at this point continues to be one of being preparedness.
04:49But inevitably, this conversation 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.
05:00Her country, too, shares a border with Russia, actually the longest NATO border with Russia.
05:06What did she tell you?
05:09Yes, and we caught up with Elina Valtonen, who was participating at a business conference very much dedicated to the
05:14security sector.
05:16And 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.
05:24And that is the assessment that they make.
05:26As 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.
05:38As you know, Shefan, this debate was shelved last year over Christmas.
05:43Instead, the Europeans decided that they would pay out of pocket with a loan, but it has been revived because
05:48the cost of the war keeps mounting.
05:51And at this stage, let's be clear about this, it is the Europeans who are, for the most part, paying
05:56for the war effort alongside the Ukrainians who 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 AFD.
06:14And this is relevant because the AFD has said they would want to reinstort ties with Russia diplomatically.
06:20She did tell me, however, this was not a case of Russian 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 and Europe
06:32has 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 and amplify
06:56those and drive people against each other.
07:00But essentially and especially drive people against their own governments.
07:05I'm sure that Moscow is happy.
07:07But at the same time, there are true concerns of people behind that result.
07:13And I think it's extremely important we respect a democratic result, which this was.
07:19And first and foremost, I would say that, or at least based on what I hear around, is the concerns
07:25of migration, which are behind the election results.
07:30All right.
07:31Maria Tadeo there reporting from Riga.
07:34Thank you very much.
07:36A 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.
07:50That's why we're now turning to our correspondent Sascha Vakulina.
07:53Good morning, Sascha.
07:55So can you provide us with any more details?
07:59Stefan, recently Ukraine's president started using more Moldovan airspace, Kishinev airport, rather than Poland, as he used to do for
08:07years since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion.
08:09And that was the case on Tuesday at the moment, around the same time that President Zelensky was about to
08:14take off to go to Norway.
08:16This 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 it there.
08:34Then 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, and then going into Romania and then returning to
09:13Moldova 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, Sascha Vakulina.
09:27As always, great reporting.
09:28Thank you very much.
09:30The European Commission has unveiled a legislative proposal allowing EU public authorities to favor European companies in public procurement for
09:39key 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 amid heated trade negotiations as the EU
10:02grapples 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
10:15the think tank Bruegel and an expert on Asian economies.
10:19Good 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, so, you know, in a way it's everything.
10:37But 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, which basically means that you reciprocate in your procurement.
11:13In 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.
11:30And I think that has to be taken into account.
11:32Alicia, here's an uncomfortable question.
11:36Won't excluding cheaper Chinese companies simply make public projects more expensive?
11:43Because the idea of public procurement, as I mentioned, within this global agreement, WTO agreement,
11:53basically limits the amount of subsidies or other types of support that the companies can offer when going to procurement.
12:06I think that's fair, if you ask me, because if Chinese government wants to compete with our companies through subsidies
12:14or other means,
12:15our companies won't have a chance.
12:17So in that regard, I think it's not only about being cheap, but about being fair.
12:21So this is why this international legislation supposedly protects us from this reality.
12:28And the Industrial Selector Act, our legislation now, takes that on board, which we have not done in the past.
12:37All right.
12:38Alicia Garcia Herrero from the Think Tank Bruegel, thank you for breaking it all down for us.
12:43Now, Europe's housing crisis has reached emergency levels, with 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, in areas under
13:05so-called housing stress.
13:07Our correspondent, Marek Gwynn, caught up with Commissioner Jørgensen and began by asking
13:11whether 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,
13:28being 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 just having a short
13:47-term rental.
13:49And where that is the case, we 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.
14:06Do 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?
14:18Unfortunately, in many cities and member states, we are already there.
14:22It is, I would say, actually an emergency.
14:25Because if you don't have a roof over your head, if you don't have the opportunity to find a place
14:29to live,
14:30then, 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.
14:40So really, it's important that we take this extremely serious.
14:44It's also important that we, from the European Union side, which traditionally maybe hasn't been the case,
14:51acknowledge that this is also a European problem.
14:53So 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 to help Europeans with this pressing issue?
15:11Short-term rentals is a big part of the problem in many cities.
15:15But, of course, this will not solve all problems.
15:17We also need to do more to build more houses, to renovate more houses,
15:23to find new purposes for buildings that are already existing so that they can become houses.
15:28We need to cut red tape so that it's easier to provide more housing.
15:32We 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.
15:45If I may, a final question on energy, because 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,
16:09that we can face a very difficult winter.
16:11So my message to member states are very clear.
16:14The faster you can deploy more renewables, the 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, the more easy the winter will be to face.
16:33And by the way, these things will also lead to lower prices.
16:36So really, there's no reason to not do it.
16:42EU Housing Commissioner Dan Jorgensen speaking to Merit Gwynn.
16:46Yesterday, we heard probably the most striking warnings on artificial intelligence to date.
16:52AI is killing us all.
16:55This is particularly noteworthy because these warnings are coming not just from outside critics,
17:00but from AI safety researchers and insiders who argue that increasingly powerful systems
17:06could 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.
17:20Good morning.
17:21Good 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?
17:30I think it's science, but we shouldn't be worried necessarily
17:34if we keep all this under control and we keep it public and open.
17:38The thing is, it'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.
17:46It all depends on how we use them.
17:48And 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?
18:12It 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, but 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 might be difficult.
18:33It might be the genie out of the bottle.
18:35But it's a very, very stupid way of programming AI to 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, stop, AI development must not continue beyond this point?
18:52It's a very difficult question.
18:54I think for now we don't know enough what is going on inside those labs because they are private.
19:00And imagine, you know, research on nuclear power happening behind private labs that no one can control,
19:05no one can observe, and people coming out of those labs and telling you,
19:09oh, listen, we're about to kill all humanity, but you don't know how to control that.
19:12I think we just have to open up and 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, thank you so much for coming on the program.
19:23That does it for us today.
19:25Thank you for watching.
19:26I'm Stefan Gobert.
19:27Take care and see you tomorrow.
19:48Take care and see you tomorrow.
