00:14Good morning, it's Thursday the 10th of September, you're watching Euronews and this is Europe
00:22Today. Coming up the plane carrying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Oslo for the
00:29funeral of the King of Norway was almost hit by a drone when taking off from Moldova on Tuesday.
00:36That's according to the Norwegian Prime Minister. This comes after two people were killed after
00:41Russian drones struck a border crossing between Ukraine and Moldova. Meanwhile, in a one-hour
00:47phone conversation with Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed speculation
00:52about the Russian threat to European nations. The Baltic countries are on the front line of
00:58growing Russian threats. And concerns are mounting over a deteriorating security situation in the
01:04region that comes after the CIA chief traveled to Moscow last month, reportedly warning Russia
01:10against testing NATO's resolve. At the International Security Conference in Riga, participants are
01:16increasingly worried. We'll hear from the Foreign Minister of Finland. And a researcher who spent
01:23three years building the systems behind some of the world's most powerful AI models has quit the
01:29industry entirely, warning that the companies racing to build ever more capable artificial intelligence
01:35are gambling with our lives. 27-year-old Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic yesterday. He claimed that
01:44many of the people building the technology privately fear it could prove fatal for humanity.
01:50Welcome to the program. I'm Stefan Grope. Our top story on Europe Today takes us to Latvia. Our chief
01:58Europe editor Maria Tadeo is in Riga following a security conference. The Baltic countries are on the
02:04front line of growing Russian threats and concerns are mounting over a deteriorating security situation in
02:11the region that comes after the CIA chief traveled to Moscow last month, reportedly warning Russia against
02:18testing NATO's resolve. Let's go live now to Riga, where Maria Tadeo is standing by. Maria, you have been
02:25talking to officials there. What are you hearing?
02:30Yes, Stefan, good morning, because the security conference is underway and the security picture and
02:36the Baltics is very much in focus, as you say, in the context of that trip, a very rare, unannounced
02:42trip
02:42from the CIA boss to Moscow, where he met with Russian intelligence. Reportedly, one of the messages
02:49that he conveyed was a warning from the United States to Russia against escalating tensions with
02:55U.S. allies in the region, namely Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia. Of course, here, when you speak to
03:03Baltic officials, they tell you, again, and this is something that they have stressed, yes, Russia is a
03:09security threat. They also point to increased hybrid activity, but they still say the picture
03:15has not fundamentally changed. Of course, they would have to say that because they don't want
03:20to create a sense of panic here. But just to give you an idea of the preparedness and the
03:25reinforcements of some of those security points in this region, just yesterday, the Latvian prime
03:30minister announced that his country will need an additional 7 billion euros to reinforce its
03:35eastern border. Of course, inevitably, that money will have to come from the European Union. When
03:40you 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, quote, a deteriorating
03:49security picture when it comes to this part of Europe and that more action is needed. The message,
03:55however, is one of restraint and putting the focus on NATO deterrence and security. What, to me,
04:02Stephan, has been striking. I spent the whole day yesterday here in Riga. It's also the
04:07conversations that you have with everyday life, people who would tell you this is now normal life
04:13for them, that they are aware, hyper aware, of course, of Russia. But they also say at this point,
04:19all you can do is be prepared. I did have conversations with some, again, everyday Latvians who told me at
04:24this point it's about being prepared. But also if you can buy real estate outside of the country,
04:29some may do that, but 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
04:40and the army, the capacity to ramp up production to protect that border. The stress, as I say,
04:45at this point continues to be one of being preparedness. But inevitably, this conversation
04:50over 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,
05:01shares a border with Russia, actually the longest NATO border with Russia. What did she tell you?
05:09Yes, and we caught up with Elina Valtonen, who was participating at a business conference very
05:13much dedicated to the security sector. And she told me plain and simple, at the stage,
05:18the security picture for Europe will remain unstable. It will remain volatile for as long as the war
05:23in Ukraine continues. And that is the assessment that they make. As long as the war continues,
05:28this will be the everyday reality for certainly the frontline countries. She also told me and
05:34reinstated that her country is in favor of using the Russian frozen assets. As you know,
05:40Shefan, this debate was shelved last year over Christmas. Instead, the Europeans decided that they
05:45would pay out of pocket with a loan, but it has been revived because the cost of the war keeps
05:50mounting. And at this stage, let's be clear about this. It is the Europeans who are for the most part
05:55paying for the war effort alongside the Ukrainians who are the ones doing the fighting. But they
06:00realize the bill is coming and it will be significant going into 2027. The other point that I would
06:06stress is she is a fluent German speaker. She keeps an eye on German affairs. And I asked her about
06:12the
06:12victory of the AFD. And this is relevant because the AFD has said they would want to reinstort ties
06:18with Russia diplomatically. She 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. It was an election that really tapped
06:29into some of the real issues that are happening in Europe and Europe has to deal with. Let's take a
06:34look.
06:34Certainly, 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
06:51functions is precisely to take those points of dissatisfaction in the society and amplify those
06:57and drive people against each other, but essentially and especially drive people against their own
07:04governments. I'm sure that Moscow is happy. But at the same time, there are true concerns of people
07:11behind that result. And I think it is 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
07:25of migration, which are behind the the electoral results.
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.
07:50That's why we're now turning to our correspondent Sasha Vakulina.
07:53Good morning, Sasha. So can you provide us with any more details?
07:59Stefan, recently Ukraine's president started using more Moldovan airspace, Kishinev airport,
08:05rather 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. Now, at the moment, around the same time that President
08:13Zelensky was about to take off to go to Norway, this is also around the same time when a drone
08:19incursion was detected, first in Moldova and then in Romania. And the timeline says everything about
08:26the timing of when that happened. So 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. This is when the
08:39fighter jets took off to monitor. They spent over 20 minutes monitoring the situation and following the
08:46drone until Romanian military lost the drone on its radars. And then it reappeared shortly after
08:53back in Moldova. And 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. So with that drone
09:07incursion first into Moldova, non NATO airspace, and then going into Romania and then returning to
09:13Moldova around the same time, well, that's one drone that was reported. And that's reportedly the
09:18same drone that was threatening Zelensky's plane, Stefan.
09:23Quite scary, scary stuff there, Sasha Vakulina. As always, great reporting. Thank you very much.
09:29The European Commission has unveiled a legislative proposal allowing EU public authorities to favor
09:36European companies in public procurement for key public services, such as energy, water, railways,
09:44ports, airports, and postal services. A move that clearly targets Chinese companies in a market valued
09:51at 2 billion euros annually. This comes as European policymakers seek to shield the blox market from
09:58China amid heated trade negotiations as the EU grapples with a trade deficit with Beijing of roughly 1
10:06billion euros a day. For more on this, let's head over to Paris, where I'm joined by Alicia Garcia
10:13Herrero, a Spanish economist with the think tank Bruegel and an expert on Asian economies. Good 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. But I have to say that
10:39no matter how, you know, China may be reading the Industrial Selector Act, which is this legislation you
10:46refer to, it's actually not only for European companies. In fact, you only need to sign the
10:55International Procurement Agreement at the WTO to be part of the game, i.e. Korean companies can compete
11:02with European companies. Japanese companies can compete with European companies. So, China could just
11:06sign this agreement, which basically means that you reciprocate in your procurement. In other words,
11:14that European companies can also go to China under the same conditions for China's procurement. So,
11:20in that regard, I actually think this legislation has been heavily criticized as very protectionist,
11:27but in my view, it's very reciprocal. And I think that has to be taken into account.
11:33Right. Alicia, here's an uncomfortable question. Won't excluding cheaper Chinese companies simply make
11:39public projects more expensive? Because the idea of public procurement, as I mentioned within this
11:48global agreement, WTO agreement, basically limits the amount of subsidies or other types of support
12:01that the companies can offer when going to procurement. I think that's fair, if you ask me. Because if
12:10the Chinese government wants to compete with our companies through subsidies or other means,
12:15our companies won't have a chance. So, in that regard, I think it's not only about being cheap,
12:20but about being fair. So, this is why this international legislation supposedly protects us from this reality.
12:28And the industrial sector, our legislation now takes that on board, which we have not done in the past.
12:36All right. Alicia 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
12:50struggling to afford somewhere to live. That's the warning from the European Commissioner for Housing,
12:56Dan Jørgensen. In response, the EU has unveiled new rules aimed at curbing short-term rentals such as
13:03Airbnb in areas under so-called housing stress. Our correspondent Mary Gwynn caught up with
13:09Commissioner Jørgensen and began by asking whether the new restrictions will offer relief to Europeans
13:15being squeezed by the housing market. So, prices in many cities in Europe are way too high. So,
13:22we see normal people with normal jobs not being able to find a place to live, being crowded out of
13:29the
13:29cities where they serve as police officers, nurses and teachers and so on. So, this is totally unacceptable
13:33and we need to act. What we propose today is to say where short-term rentals are a problem,
13:41because they are in some cities. They have crowded out normal people from their homes because there's
13:46more money to be made just having a short-term rental. And where that is the case, we are now
13:50giving the
13:51legal basis for member states to regulate this. So, we are now giving the member states the ability to
13:58actually do something about this important problem. I'm interested in knowing about the degree of
14:03concern you have about this. Do you fear we're moving towards a Europe where it will become
14:09impossible for a young person under 35, for example, to actually become a homeowner or even worse,
14:16to even afford a rent? Unfortunately, in many cities and member states, we are already there.
14:22It is, I would say, actually an emergency. Because if you don't have a roof over your head,
14:27if you don't have the opportunity to find a place to live, then, for instance, young people are not
14:31able to start a family. They're not able to get the job that they want. They're not able to take
14:35the
14:35education that they want and need. And by the way, we as a society need that they take. So, really,
14:41it's important that we take this extremely serious. It's also important that we, from the European
14:46Union side, which traditionally maybe hasn't been the case, acknowledge that this is also a European
14:52problem. So, we need to provide solutions from Brussels. You and I both know that short-term
14:57rentals are just part of the problem. As 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. But, of course,
15:15this will not solve all problems. We also need to do more to build more houses, to renovate more
15:22houses, to 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. We need to mobilize more
15:33financing. We need to make it more feasible and easy to build social housing. All of these things,
15:41of course, need to be done. So, this is an important step, but it's not the only step.
15:44If I may, a final question on energy, because energy bill is also a major concern, of course.
15:49We know that international conflicts are upending the energy commodities markets. How worried are you
15:57about the winter facing Europe, especially 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, that we can face a very
16:11difficult winter. So, my message to member states are very clear. The faster you can deploy more
16:16renewables, the faster you can electrify. So, move away from gas broilers to district heating or electric
16:24heat pumps, for instance. The faster you can deploy more energy efficiency measures, the faster you can do all of
16:30these things, the more easy the winter will be to face. And by the way, these things will also
16:34lead to lower prices. So, really, there's no reason to not do it.
16:42EU Housing Commissioner Dan Jørgensen speaking to Merit Gwynne.
16:46Yesterday, we heard probably the most striking warnings on artificial intelligence to date.
16:52AI is killing us all. This is particularly noteworthy because these warnings are coming not just from
16:58outside critics, but from AI safety researchers and insiders who argue that increasingly powerful
17:06systems could eventually become impossible to control. Do I get your attention? Joining me now
17:13to discuss this is Andrea Renda, Director of Research at the Center for European Policy Studies here in
17:19Brussels. Good morning. Good morning. So, let me start with a blunt question. Is this science or
17:25science fiction? Do I have to be worried? Do we all have to be worried?
17:29I think it's science, but we shouldn't be worried necessarily if we keep all this under control and we
17:37keep it public and open. The thing is, it's not the first time that we build something that can kill
17:42us all,
17:42right? We have the atomic bomb, we have several powerful technologies. It 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
17:55coming because there are many ways we can all be killed with stupid technologies if we program them
18:00in the wrong way. I guess the fundamental question seems to be this. Are we building machines that we
18:08may eventually be unable to switch off? It depends on what kind of goals we give to these machines,
18:14what kind of powers, right? We can have a software which is self-contained, but a software that governs
18:19all our critical infrastructure, the railroads, the telecoms networks and everything, and has the
18:25ability to dodge some of our attempts to stop, especially if programmed to achieve that goal at
18:31all costs might be difficult, might be the genie out of the bottle. But it's a very, very stupid way
18:37of
18:37programming AI to give it powers that then cannot be controlled. So 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. I think for now we don't know enough what is going on inside those labs,
18:58because they are private. And imagine, you know, research on nuclear power happening behind private
19:04labs that no one can control, no 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. I think we just
19:13have to open up and audit much more what is going on inside those labs and invest in public research
19:19on
19:19this. I guess we just wait and see. Andrei Render, thank you so much for coming on the program.
19:23That does it for us today. Thank you for watching. I'm Stefan Gobert. Take care and see you tomorrow.
19:53Bye.
