00:01German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's CDU party suffered heavy losses in two state elections
00:07on Sunday, with the left emerging as the largest party in Berlin and the AFD taking the lead
00:13in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Projections indicated that the CDU came in with just 4.9%
00:20in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the lowest result since World War II for the party in any
00:25state. Staying below the 5% threshold would mean the CDU fails for the first time to win seats in
00:33a state legislature anywhere in Germany. While the AFD came first there with 38.2% of the vote,
00:40it was closely followed by the center-left SPD, which looks set to continue governing the state
00:45by forming a coalition with left-wing allies. In Berlin, the left has emerged as the strongest
00:51party for the first time, rejected to win around 25% of votes after it made social issues and
00:58affordable housing key themes of its election campaign. The result means the capital's previous
01:04CDU-SPD coalition no longer has a majority. A ban on new oil and gas drilling in the Arctic will
01:15remain the European Commission's official position in a revised strategy. Brussels is due to unveil a
01:21commission spokesperson told Euronews despite fierce pressure from oil-rich Norway to drop the ban.
01:27The revised version of the EU's 2021 Arctic strategy will be announced next month as the region gains
01:34increasing strategic importance for the bloc's defense and climate ambitions. For the commission,
01:40new Arctic fossil fuel development is incompatible with its climate goals. Maintaining the moratorium
01:46underscores Brussels' determination to uphold that position despite calls from the International Energy
01:52Agency to reconsider it and despite pressure from Norway, a key energy supplier and ally as the bloc faces
01:59an energy crunch. The ban is nevertheless expected to remain non-binding, potentially avoiding a direct
02:06clash with Norway as the EU faces concerns over energy supplies. Oslo has described gas exploration in the
02:14Arctic as insurance for the EU as the bloc grapples with rising energy prices.
02:26French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney have called for closer
02:30ties as both countries face increasingly strained relations with the United States.
02:36Meeting in the French territory of Saint-Pierre and Michelin, Macron described France and Canada as
02:41two great independent nations who want to stay that way.
02:45Carney said the time had come to significantly strengthen relations with France and the European Union
02:50following a proposal for Canada to become an EU associate member.
02:56The leaders agreed to deepen cooperation in areas including fisheries, regional security and energy.
03:02Macron said Europe was seeking more stable energy supplies as the war in Iran disrupted global markets,
03:07highlighting Canada's oil, natural gas and critical mineral resources.
03:12He said France wanted agreements to deliver more Canadian liquefied natural gas to Europe's Atlantic coast.
03:18The talks come as US tariffs, demands for economic concessions and Donald Trump's repeated talk of
03:25making Canada the 51st US state push Ottawa towards closer ties with Europe.
03:30The Canada and Europe will build an alliance for the future that will strengthen our collective resilience.
03:38Ukraine has launched what Moscow's mayor described as the largest-scale attack on the Russian capital
03:43since the war began.
03:45Sergey Sovyanin said Russian air defenses had shut down more than 1,600 drones across the country
03:50since Saturday, including around 450 heading towards Moscow.
03:56Several drones reached the oil refinery in Kapotnia and a logistic complex in Sofino near Moscow,
04:01causing severe fires at both sides, while another drone struck a residential building.
04:07Moscow regional authorities said two people were killed and 20 injured in attacks across the wider region.
04:12Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the strikes, revealing that the operation involves
04:16FP-1 attack drones and Paleontisia missiles saying Moscow must end its brutal war and choose peace.
04:23The strikes came as Russian attacks on Ukraine continued with 138 drones on Saturday night,
04:29as authorities reported deaths and damage in the Kiev and Kherson regions.
04:34The death toll from Russian strikes on the Kiev region on Saturday evening rose to four.
04:39Three people were also injured on Saturday as a result of a strike on a shopping center in Dnipro,
04:43which was completely destroyed.
04:48King Charles has hosted several AI leaders in Scotland, where he urged them to keep artificial intelligence
04:55technologies under human control and ensure they serve people, communities and the environment.
05:05The meeting was held at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, home of the King's charity, and was attended by figures from
05:13many well-known AI giants including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind and NVIDIA.
05:21The King referenced the rapid speed at which AI has advanced over the years and continues to develop.
05:28He urged those in the room to find ways to use AI for beneficial purposes with safety at its heart
05:35and consider how to build international cooperation and consensus to achieve that.
05:41AI is already showing its immense capacity to improve and save life, for example, in the field of life sciences
05:52and medicine.
05:53Yet those who have created these technologies are now increasingly warning that AI risks developing darker capacities,
06:04perhaps even to take life, and in this regard, if I may say so, there seems urgency in adequately considering
06:14the existential dangers of such technologies falling into the wrong hands
06:19and being used in potentially catastrophic ways.
06:25Demis Hassabis is the chair and co-founder of Google DeepMind.
06:30He outlines some of the dangers involved with more advanced AI models.
06:34One is misalignment. This is where the AI system doesn't do what we instruct it to do or somehow circumvents
06:41its guardrails.
06:42And the second risk is misuse, where a bad actor repurposes the general technology that was built for good intent,
06:50but repurposes it for harmful ends. The chance of something bad accidentally happening if we get things wrong is definitely
06:58non-zero.
06:59So we should take these risks very seriously.
07:02The meeting comes in the wake of several high-profile incidents regarding the safety of AI technology.
07:09On Wednesday, OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, reported six incidents of unexpected or concerning behavior by its models.
07:21NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, the company behind much of the infrastructure and computing components involved with AI,
07:28has criticized calls for slowing down the development of AI models.
07:34When a product is not safe enough, we should hold it back and keep engineering.
07:41We've always done that, and we should continue to do that.
07:44The ultimate purpose of AI is to expand access to knowledge and opportunity.
07:49Open models must be protected.
07:52Open models give researchers, universities, startups, and countries a foundation they can adapt to their own languages, science, and public
08:02services.
08:02While the UK does have a significant role in AI safety through its AI Security Institute and research community,
08:11the sector itself is dominated by competition between tech companies in the US and China.
08:42We've seen that there is a clear trend that the ice sheets are losing more mass and it has been
08:48increasing from decade to decade,
08:51especially if you look at the ice being discharged to the ocean.
08:56what you see on the other hand is just because of the climate, the climate and the global sea level
09:15has been increasing from the future.
09:19So after the world we have chosen the鉆 that the ice is ever very strong,
09:19we build a strong supply chain of behaviour that's not only 5-23 trillion tons of ice,
09:24it's quite a bit more than 2-23 trillion tons of ice.
09:26But even if it seems like a small number, we know that every centimetre of syllable rise matters.
09:51And that's quite clear that there is a link to climate change
09:55and that because of the warming air temperatures and ocean temperatures,
09:59they actually have been losing more mass than they used to.
10:03We'll see you next time.
10:20Hello? There's an emergency here.
10:23I was wondering if I could use your phone.
10:28Hi, you're Michelle. Leave a message.
10:30Hey, baby. I'm really sorry that we got disconnected earlier.
10:33Some things have happened and I can't get a hold of police.
10:39All I can do is make what would be my favourite Resident Evil movie.
10:43I've played the games for so long.
10:45I've never seen a movie advertised that looks like what I think a Resident Evil movie should be.
10:50And so I just sat down with that being my first and last concern.
10:55It's like, what's going to be my favourite thing for this franchise?
10:58And so the movie I wrote is, it's ticking all my boxes.
11:02And that's as good as I can do.
11:04If I start trying to please everybody, I'm going to end up pleasing nobody.
11:07If I just focus on pleasing me, hopefully other people will connect with that.
11:18Everything that has happened in this town transpired in a matter of hours.
11:26You've got no idea what you've got there in your hands.
11:40Yeah, where was it going?
11:42It did.
11:43Raccoon City General.
11:44Hey, no sweat.
